The Huron County Federation of Agriculture recently presented a brief to a committee of Huron County Council. The following brief was presented by F of A president Jack Stafford and vice-president Mason Bailey. "There are several matters we are concerned with which we feel should be supported by Huron County Council. You will recall that in our submission a year ago, we requested your support to bring about equalization of education taxes. Much has been accomplished since then to relieve farm taxpayers of this burden. However, the system of taxing for education financing has not been changed. We still have the situation whereby those who enlarge or improve their enterprises are assessed for more education taxes, We feel that this method penalizes initiative. Also we had hoped that urban people would also be considered in any equalization of this tax. The Ontario Federation of, Agriculture is continuing to press Government for complete equalization of education taxes. May we again solicit your sup- port in this effort? Another matter that we feel is important to our County is the need of more off-farm industry in our towns. Our young people Insecurity is resetting your wristwatch each time you see a clock that disagrees with it. The world is composed of takers and givers. The takers may, eat better, but the givers sleep better. Some people take everything on a vacation but their manners. cannot all work at agriculture, but it seems to us that there should be more opportunity for employment in Huron County. Most of the produce of our farms is shipped elsewhere for processing. Could we not find more effective methods of promoting development of in- dustry related to agriculture? With trend to mechanization on farms, our population can only decline unless there are other opportunities for employment. We are also interested in the proposal' of Regional Govern- ment. We are quite "skeptical as to the benefits of this type of ad- ministration in our area. There is reason to believe that more control of our affairs would move into the hands of people who are not very concerned with agricultural problems. Our present system may have weaknesses, but we are of the opinion that the proposed change may have greater weaknesses. Perhaps, if councillors were better paid at the local level there would be more incentive to better administration. Local Coun- cillors are expected to spend considerable time on public af- fairs for very small return, compared to administrative people in other capacities. We recommend that any change in method of administration of public affairs be approached very cautiously and that the public be kept very well informed and allowed to voice their opinion on the matter before any changes are made. Sometime ago you were requested to support a resolution regarding the importation of Australian beef into Canada. We were disappointed in your decision to not support this resolution. We are of the opinion that Huron County Farmers cannot compete 'with Australian farmers in the production of beef. There is no agricultural product produced in Canada that cannot be produced cheaper elsewhere. What is to become of this im- portant industry if we cannot find means of supporting the in- dividuals who must show a profit to remain in business?Huron County in particular cannot af- ford to allow its largest industry to decline. Without agriculture, what would this County live on? The economic situation has become very serious on many farms and farmers must have the support of all of us who represent farmers if prosperity is to be maintained. The sugar-beet industry dissappeared from Ontario because of lack of support. Now sugar is more expensive than when we were producing sugar in Ontario. This can happen to other commodities if we do not protect our industry. We recommend that a recon- sideration be given by this Council to support the resolution to restrict importation of Australian beef. Could we also bring to your attention the matter of pollution from animal wastes. It appears that this may become a serious problem in the future and we emphasize that we feel that any policy adopted should protect innocent individuals from un- necessary penalties. We recognize the need of controls but recommend that as much protection as possible be available to farmers with A total of 2,000 jobs will be available this summer for Ontario students as part of the province's Students Working in; Environmental Enhancement Program. Known as the SWEEP program, half of the jobs will be allocated through the Depart- ment of Energy and Resources Management students in the 37 Conservation Authorities throughout the province. These young people will be involved in improvement to conservation lands and streams as well as in an intensified cleanup of roadsides, streams and lakeshores in the province, Employment in this program will be open to students of high schools, universities and com- munity colleges, 18 years of age or more. Application forms are available by writing to S.W.E.E.P., c/o either the Department of Lands and Forests or the Department of Energy and Resources Management, Queen's Park, Toronto. Filling the other 12,000 summer F of A critical of radio program The Middlesex Federation of Agriculture is concerned with the lack of farm content of CFPL radio. The Board of Directors were most critical when the Roy Jewell noon hour broadcast was Ao drastically cut. The feeling of concern was for the lack of quality and quantity for the rural audience, of good farm information. Middlesex farmers were tuning in farther afield to secure the farm facts they need, The Middlesex Federation will seek a meeting with represen- tatives of the station at which time it is hoped a broad discussion of agricultural needs as related to radio will be un- dertaken. existing enterprises who are caught in a situation arising from circumstances beyond their control. Some consideration might also be given to the changing needs of society where education is concerned. It appears that a saturation point has been reached in the academic fields of endeavour. More emphasis on technicalcourses might well be a realistic move. We recommend that a change be a practical approach to practical things be considered by our school board and council.
