BY RHEA HAMILTON
Today's society is affected
by tunnel vision' and little
consideration is given to the
right and wrong of the
methods used to gain its
goals, Christian Farmers
Federation members heard
recently.
Ben Vande Zande of
Outreach Niagara offered
some interesting ideas and
concepts about how society is
becoming goal oriented and
what the CFF can do about it.
At the group's annual
meeting in Clinton, Mr.
Vande Zande pointed out
that there are only three
kinds of resources; com-
pletely replaceable, nartially
replaceable and non-
. replaceable. With our goal--
oriented society., freedom to
have as many things as
possible becomes a priority
and there is little thought to
the future when the re-
sources are used up, Mr.
Vande Zande said.
Nuclear power he-ga-ve as
an example. The goal of
cheap energy offering secur-
ity for the future and an
organized central economy
would be guaranteed with
nuclear power. The question
Mr. Vande Zande raises is
that of safety and cleanliness
and what nuclear power
,needs to survive. The
assumption is that of in-
creased technology, power
and investments but there
will be fewer people working.
Another question is the
location of these plants.
Mr. Vande Zande added
that he didn't think nuclear
power was as dangerous as
some groups made it out to
he, but added that the plants
are powered by a non-
renewable resource and that
Canada would be back in the
same situation again if other
avenues of resources use
were left behind.
Outreach Niagara is a

President Bill Jongejan
offered the group some
challenges for the '80's
which included some
changes. Better farming
practises, more public
involvement, educating
themselves about the: com-
plexities of the socio-
, economic structure of our
society, encouraging better
economic policies, were
some of the points he noted,
