Ontario Place which lost $2 million last year and is now headed toward greater financial disaster." Murray Gaunt: MM.?. Huron- #3ruce, the Where' Agriculture critic, today called ior the Ontario GOvernrnent to creSignate Eastern Ontario farm lands a disaster area. "The heavy rainfall in the past two months in South Carle- ton, Dundas, Prescott-Russell and Glengarry Counties means that most of the crops in those areas are without harvest paten- tia.1", be stated. He noted that many farmers have already, started to sell their cattle herds as they cannot afford to pur- chase feed. "I have been told that hay is selling at $1.50 per bale in some areas",Mr. Gaunt said, "which is beyod the reach .of ail farmers.'" Minister of. Agriculture Stewart has toured the area and is aware of the problem, but Mr. Gaunt is critical of the Ontario Government's offer to match any funds raised locally. "Any funds raised locally would justbe "and peanuts," he said, and the Federal government is hamstrung as they cannot inject funds into the area unless the Provincial Government declares it a disaster area." In addition, he called on the Ontario Government to subsidize transportation costs for hay shipped from Western Ontario to the East. "The hay is avail- able in the West, but the East- ern Ontario farmer cannot be expected to bear the cost of transportation." Mr. Gaunt indicated that an exchange program has been dis- cussed among the farmers whereby dairy herds in the East would be shipped to western On- tario farmers who would feed them and care for them until next spring in return for the milk Action on smoking Cigarette smoking is a major public health problem in the country. A. cause of chronic bronchitis, emphysema, lung cancer, heart disease, and other serious illnesses. More that 300,000 people die prematurely each year from smoking-relate( diseases. How can we combat thi: enormous problem? Our society -- says Surgeol General Jesse Steinfeld ha; been tremendously successful solving some public health pro blems. When no responsible ac tion was demanded of citizens For example, we have purifie our water supplies, banned cy clamates, prevented sewage fror entering our drinking water, pas teurized our milk, made certal that meat products did not trans mit trichinosis or tuberculin! We immunized our citizens ag ainst smallpox, polio, and mes sles. But how about when the ret ponsible action has to come fro: people themselves? whenpeopl must exercise and choose props diets to avoid obesity and art eriosclerosis? When they mth restrict alcohol intake? WM they should quit smoking/ Speaking specifically abol smoking, the Surgeon Genet': asks, "what is the role of gor ernment beyond education, WIN education doesn't do the job? There are almost 45 milli( Americans still smoking. The Surgeon General consid ered two possibilities; limitin the amount Of tars and nicotin in cigarettes; and raising th cigarette tax. PrOdUcedo "in this way the farmer would, not be faced with the enormous cost of acquiring a new herd, next year," he said. "1 understand the Milk Board is sympathetic to waiving the quotas to accommodate such a system, but the Gevernment must be instrumental in, estab- lishing the program. Many rules would have to be established to make it, works such as who would bear the cost if a calf or cow were lost over the winter." Mr. Gaunt also attacked, the Crop Insurance .Program pre- sently administered by the Pro- vince. "The insurance doesn't cover existing crops which cannot be harvested due to conditions such, as we've had this year. and when a Prop ioes doee qualifY the payment is only suffiCient to recover the original investment in seed and labgur. The lost income must be home by the farmer. The whole Crop In- surance Pregrann needs to be and revised."
