William Baxter, Secretary, Archeological Society, Western Ontario from Parkhill, is willing to place a display of Indian ar- tifacts from May to October in the Museum. Audrey Cobban suggested that County schools be advised of permanent and future displays. Audrey Cobban and Nelson Johnson are to purchase a number of showcases for the Museum. Mrs, Cobban was also appointed publicity agent for the Museum. Joan Penrose is to ask if youth groups wish to look after the Museum grounds. Activity this week at the Toronto stockyards picked up as farmers apparently less alarmed about Canada's meat boycott than they were, increased their shipments. Richard Nicholls, livestock reporter with the federal department of agriculture, said about 2,000 slaughter cattle were offered - about 75 percent of a normal Tuesday output. Monday only 300 were offered, a fraction of the usual total, "DEKALB" ts a Registered Brand Name. The Number is a Variety Designation One of the virtues of being very young is that you don't let the facts get in the way of your imagination, Standing on your dignity makes for poor footing. William I.. Allen RR1 Woodham 229.8267 Stewart to bring in recom- mendations and suggestions, which would solve the low income problems of Ontario farmers, brought in a report called the challenge of Abundance. One of their recommendations was that 2/3 of Ontario farmers had to leave farming, In 1970 the Federal Task Force on agriculture brought in their report at the direction of H. A. Olson, Federal agriculture minister. This report also recommended removal of 2/3 of Canadian farmers from the land. In their wisdom or lack of it the agriculture departments at both federal and provincial levels and the Federation of Agriculture strongly endorsed this type of approach to agriculture's problems, despite repeated warnings from grass roots and many other qualified people in Canada that this would lead to complete economic disaster, The people endorsing this policy have laboured long and hard and have succeeded in bringing about a vast reduction in Canada's number of farmers. Present government statistics show that farmers are leaving the land at the rate of 12 every day in the province of Ontario and 42 every day in Canada. The reduction in farmers coupled with the fact that very few young people are going into farming is now beginning to show in reduced food production. If agricultural policies at both federal and provincial levels are not adjusted drastically and quickly then the meat boycott which is now going on will prove to be a good exercise because it will condition people to do Rabbit show planned in June Plans for the Rabbit Show were discussed at the well attended March meeting of the Lambton - Middlesex Rabbit Breeders Association. The show will be an open show to all interested in rabbits on June 9 at the Leaver Utter Farm, Arkona. Delegates to the Ontario Council of Rabbit clubs to be held in Ottawa this spring are Paul Champberlain and John Ritcher, A talk was given by Paul Chamberlain regarding the care of rabbits. Mucoidentritis is the biggest killer of rabbits and is easy to treat if diagnosed. The keeping of records, breeding, ventilation and problems of moisture in the rabbitry were covered in the talk. The Lambton - Middlesex Rabbit Breeders Association meet the third Wednesday of the month in the Arkona Community Hall. Mr. Nicholls said producers were getting prices as good as they did at the endof last week. Despite the furore over meat prices and meat boycotts, managers of London super- markets and butchers shops reported that their customers were still buying lots of meat. Charles Gracey, an official with the Canadian Cattlemen's Association in Toronto, said cattlemen were using some caution but seemed less ap- prehensive than Monday about any boycott by Canadian con- sumers. "We are reading the boycott as best we can and think a good number of consumers are paying little attention to it. They are recognizing that the price of meat is not out of line," He said, however, cattle producers are "doing some telephoning" before coming to the Toronto stockyards and will continue to watch for boycott developments on a "day-to-day basis." The United States Beef boycott has led to herds of American cattle being imported into Canada, many raised on a hor- mone drug which is outlawed in this country, Ontario Agriculture Minister William Stewart said this week. The drug — DES — has been banned in Canada. Mr. Stewart said outside the house that some mice fed with the substance had developed cancer. Mr. Stewart also said the consumer beef boycott could be detrimental to the farmer and have the adverse effect of eventually boosting beef prices. He told the legislature that it was "unfortunate" and "co- incidental" that the federal government has not put an embargo on beef imports from the U.S. The minister said if the hor- mone "is not good enough for our farmers in Canada to produce the beef with . . why is it ac- ceptable for the Americans to ship beef in here that could be fed the drug?" He said it was "unfortunate that for the first time since 1951, in this century, that the farmers of Canada received a half-decent price for their beef that people should start to protest against that decent price." He said it was a well-known fact that there was little or no money to be made in beef production. Outside the legislature, Mr. Stewart explained that any meat boycott here would be a direct slap against the farmer and would discourage meat production. He said the boycott was "an open invitation" for Canadian and U,S. farmers to export their beef elsewhere. Ile noted that there were "no screams fromithe consumer when farmers were selling hogs at cost and going bankrupt." Recent increases in meat prices he said, were benefitting the farmer atld said the news media was partially responsible for the present situation because it had net informed the public. "I resent the consumer boycotting Meat," he said in an interview. He said prices have been "so low for so 'Ong" that insufficient breeding stock has been main- tained and this in turn could bring about a beef shortage, Mr, Stewart predicted that if the consumer has accepted prices at their present rate, beef prices would "level off and remain static," Growing up used to mean the first pair of long pants, Now it's the first retrieted Movie, 9 413 Announcement We are now opened and are operating our service station in Grand Bend under the name Grand Bend Texaco Service (next to the post office) and are looking forward to meeting you and serving your automotive needs Steve and Jeannette O Stellingwerff 1 t7r-101-10f----11:11 Thank You...
