While the snow was flying I

Would have much preferred to
stay home, for often the driving
conditions were dangerous with
h-Oii•Vy drifting and icy roads. All
this leads me to a salute for the
rural school bus drivers. While I
was afraid driving on the King's
Highways, they bravely defied
snowdrils on the backroads to
bring forty or fifty children safely
home. My hat off to you, women
and men.
Read id the., paper that a
scientist proposed huge domes to
grow food year round. It would be
expensive food but that's better
than st arving. I have a much
simpler solution,- Pay the
producer of food, the farmer, a
decent return for his efforts and
. investments and reasonable
priced food _Will be available for
everyone for a long time to come.
Keep on resisting the producer a
fair return and shortages will stay
with us.
The brief from the Ontario
Federation of Agriculture to the
provincial Cabinet, points out that

the price of one commodity was
low another commodity would fill

the gap, is nearing the end. All
"experts" have been saying that
the farmer should' specialize and
farmers have done just that. The
net result is that the producer of a
single commodity will go
bankrupt if there is a prolonged
price slump.
On top of this comes the
influence one product's price has
on another! Pork was in a slump
last year. Now the price of beef
products is low enough to
interfere with pork sales, As a
result the pork price is not high
enough to recover the losses from
last year.
If Canada and the world is to be
fed, a solution to the farm income
problem has to be -found and not
only in Canada but in 'the rest of
. the world also.
If the Indian farmer is paid a
decent return for his product, he
will also produce more for then he
too can use modern technology.
The threat of grain shortages
abated somewhat with the
cance tion of two huge when
export co acts from the U.S. to
China. It indi tes that China had
a much bigg r wheat crop than
expected. In the meantime a huge
superfreighter lies idle in
Vancouver harbour, -waiting for
the strike to end so they can load
4.8 million bushels of wheat for
Bangladesh.
