PROGRESSIVE CONSERVATIVE (Published by the Huron4Aiddissex P.C. Association) .77" j1,77,771.,77.- No. confidence in our fellow Canadians By ADRIAN VQS .often we read in our newspapers that Canadians have nq confidence in themselves and as often I have thought that they were writing bull. The people I meet are usually self-confident enough. Now, however, I'm beginning tit) See what those writers mean. Ws not that we as Canadians have no self-confidence, but we hap no confidence in our fellow Canadians. I came to this con- clusion when discussing over the last few weeks possible export for Canadian pork. No one doubted that our pork is ()Hop quality, but many doubted the ability of Canadians to deal with Japanese buyers. Canada is the greatest trading nation in the World and couldn't be in this position unless Canadians are the greatest traders in the world. Let's not under-estimate foreign traders but let's not under- estimate our own people either. Can we rely on the figures Statistics Canada gives us? Every three months a selected group of farmers receives a form to be filled out as to what crop and how much of it they plan to grow, how much and what kind of livestock they intend to market, etc. When these predictions don't pan out, it is those farmers who are blamed for giving inaccurate reports. Mr. Patterson, a retired far- mer from Blyth, dropped in the other day and told me that after having sold his farm several yea:s ago, lie still receives this questionnaire regularly. The first question is if the farm has been sold and to whom. He faithfully filled out that the farm was sold and does so every three months. If that information has been fed into the computer for several years, the number of farms sold must be out of line With real sales. Makes one wonder about all the other Statistics they churn out in Ottawa. G. L. SLAGHT • PLUMBING • HEATING • ELECTRICAL Crediton 234-63 8 1 , 01 It's been said that a farmer is never satisfied and it has some truth in it. 'rake the weather, As everyone knows, this spring was too, wet and the farmer wasn't the only one dissatisfied. Now that planting and seeding, is mostly done that same farmer is praying for rain in many parts of our area. He is so much dependent on the weather that he is almost con- stantly worrying. But give him credit too, for if the weather damages crop prospects, he sighs and says, "We hope that next year will be better."
