Chatham, Ont. two-week alternating periods in the classroom and on the farm. Classroom and laboratory studies total four weeks, and for the remainder, students receive practical on-farm training: A student is placed on three dif- ferent farms during the course, so that he gains varied ex- perience on dairy farms. On completing the training course successfully, a student is awarded a certificate. People from urban areas are invited to apply, For further information and applications, contact the county offices of the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food. Labor pressure is the main problem faced by Ontario's dairy farmers. The agricultural Manpower Branch of the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food reports that they can't keep up with the demand for qualified help. Mrs. C. E. John- son, secretary to the Director of the Branch, says, "The number of requests for farm labor has increased dramatically in recent months, with about 85 percent being calls for skilled and semi- skilled help on dairy farms." She adds that dairy farmers are willing to take persons with some basic training, such as is offered by the Dairy Herd Workers' course, which will be available in the Kemptville area again this year. The 10-week course is offered jointly by the federal Department of Manpower and Immigration, and ARDA and Agricultural Manpower Branches of the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food. It will start January 7, 1974. The program is divided into Consumers' Association of Canada reminds motorists to periodically inspect the seat belts in their cars. Sections of the webbing that make regular contact with metal hardware should be examined carefully. Continued abrasion at such vital points can weaken the fabric, Farm land in Ontario may eventually have to be bought by the government to ensure there is enough for agricultural use, agriculture minister William Stewart said. Speaking at a seminar on land use, Mr. Stewart said, during a panel debate, that "perhaps the time will come when the government will say 'we don't want to lose viable farm units'. "Perhaps it will have to be purchased and made available — at no cost to the public treasury. It could be sold at some future date at its appraised value," Mr. Stewart made his remarks in response to Ontario Federation of Agriculture president Gordon Hill and developer S. B. McLaughlin, Both claimed that farmers should be paid com- pensation for land which was rezoned for agricultural use and was close to urban areas. Mr. Stewart said he was op- posed to any form of com- pensation. "I can't go along with the idea of paying compensation. You would have to pay every farmer in Ontario." Instead, he blamed the federal government for allowing com- modities to come into Ontario "and destroy our markets". This, he claimed, led to poor returns for agricultural products in the province and resulted in low land values for agriculture, Mr. Stewart called for federal government tariff programs that would give Ontario producers a "certain amount of protection". Mr. Hill maintained that the development rights of land belonged to the people of Ontario. However, he felt that if farmers were to give up these rights they could expect some form of compensation in return. He said that in many instances the ap- preciated value of farm land and its development potential were FAIR Qt.IEEN PRESENTS -- At Friday's annual banquet of the Ailsa Craig-Parkhill 4-H clubs Parkhill Fair Queen Elizabeth MacGregor presented the grand champion livestock showman award to Mark Stewart. T-A photo are the complainers often the "pension" farmers had worked for. Earlier, Mr. McLaughlin, who heads a giant develOpment firm which is building a city for a population of 114 million near Mississauga, said Ontario should be planning for a population of 40 million, He envisages Canada with a population of oa Present planning legislation is "grossly inadequate and stop gap," he said. "It will cause a demand at some time in the future for ex- pensive redevelopment." He said that while less than one per cent of Canada's land mass was urbanized, eventually four per cent would be used for urban development, "This development is unstoppable," he -claimed, 10.. McLaughlin criticized provincial and municipal plan- ning agencies and claimed that the "rule of law is dead so far as land use controls are concerned," He said many municipalities ignored the Planning Act in demanding 10 per cent of development land be set aside for public 'use, instance people like MP Jack Horner, who, owns some 18,000 acres in Alberta. In Denmark they put a stop to this, by limiting landholdings to 500 acres. Prince Edward Island is getting con- cerned enough. A royal com- mission there recommended 200 acre limits for land on all part- nerships and companies. You may have thought that they were out of style, but a US company charged Canadian horse-shoes are dumped on their market and want something to be done about it.

By ADRIAN VOS The Standards Council of Canada reports that the people who complain most as con- sumers, are those who can afford to pay, are educated and are English speaking. The same was said in the US at the time of the meat boycott last spring. Many of these people apparently have never learned what a good balanced diet is. Take the Ornsteins, a Montreal family with an income of $15-$18,000, The Canadian Magazine reported that they spent weekly $37.50 on food. She calls hot dogs a basic staple for kids. I don't want to comment on the food value of hot dogs. Draw any conclusion you like. It's a good deal fat and cereal. The Ornsteins can only afford rib steak once a month, the poor devils. When they had visitors, four of them recently , they had to feed them brisket and the cheapest vegetable she could find, tsk, tsk. They can't afford imported wine anymore, it has to be Canadian wine. Ellen is a part- time school teacher and her husband is an engineer. They have one consolation. The savings on bacon. Their religion forbids them eating this. Dear Ann Landers: We live in an area that has had several breakins. My wife asked me to buy a watchdog. I've heard that pigs are smarter than dogs and I'd like to try a watch-pig. Have you heard of this? Do you think my neighbours would mind? Tallahassee reader. No Com- ment. United Co-operatives of Ontario directors and elected leaders will review the highlights and results of fiscal 1972-73 at the organization's 26th annual meeting at Toronto's Royal York Hotel, December 13. The province's largest farm and urban supply and farm marketing business, owned by the people it serves, will report record, before tax, net savings of $4.1 million, up 157 percent from 1972. Some 430 delegates from across Ontario, who represent UCO's 38,500 individual members - up 2,800 from '72 - and 60 co- operatives members, will note that more than half the savings ($2.7 million) will be returned as patronage refund. Income taxes account for $994,000 and $262,000 will be paid out in form of dividends to owners of preference shares, The remainder will go into UCO's general reserve. The $166 million in sales, up 24 percent from 1972, is also a record high. Major increases were registered in feed, crop products, hardware and farm supplies, livestock marketing, petroleum, groceries, and poultry marketing. Two women guest speakers at the annual will be Peggy Prowse of Halifax, and Jane Davidson of Brucefield. Mrs. Prowse, an elected board member of Maritime Co- operative Services will address the huge banquet on the topic, "the consumer and the co- operative movement." Mrs. Davidson will speak at the Ladies' Luncheon about the contrasting lifestyles she ob- served during her recent eight months visit to India. Another major item on the agenda will be elections for two of the 12 posts on the democratically elected board of directors. The two incumbents are Allan McIntosh of Almonte and Gord Jack of Blenheim. Cattle tax to remain + The temporary surtax on imported live cattle and dressed beef, announced earlier this month, will be allowed to remain, Finance Minister John Turner announced.• The surtax is three cents a pound on live animals and "Six cents a pound on fresh dressed beef. The surtax was intended to stabilize the Canadian market for beef and live cattle, disrupted by an unusually high volume of United States imports. U.S. cattlemen, encouraged to keep their cattle off the market by President Nixon's price controls, flooded the stockyards and the Canadian market when the American controls were lifted in September. Sometimes concern is voiced about the increased size of lan- dholdings in Canada.
