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 seven,- year-old organization geared to educating the public how to effectively d al with the political President Bill Jongejan offered the group some challenges for the '80's which included some changes.
