Wm. H. King,
Returning Officer
"Parts of each Minty must
be zoned for livestock farming
and quickly," says Gordon Hill
President, Ontario Federation of
Agriculture.
Mr. Hill asked, the 400 farm-
ers gathered at the OFA's Annual
Meeting in Hamilton this week,
"How can farmers be expected
to invest in modern livestock
facilities when they could face
Recently, a by-law was pass-
ed by the Niagara district pro-
hibiting the expansion of live-
stock buildings. Area farmers
• with, the support of the Federa-
tion and other commodity groups
are appealing the by-law before
the Ontario Municipal Board.
"This hangs like a guillotine
over the heads of farmers,"
he said. "If the by-law is ap-
proved, the farmers affected
must he compensated for their
loss. Anything less would mean
confiscation of their rights."
Mr Hill said farmers, to not
want to pollute, but cannot af-
ford to invest in costly pollu-
tion abatement equipment when
their lands are threatened.
Canada's welfare system re-
ceived ridicule at the meeting.
"There was a desperate short-
age of apple-pickers, tobacco
workers, and fruit and vegetable
harvest help," Mr. Hill told the
meeting. ' Meanwhile he said
unemployment insurance pays
up to $100 a week, and. lures
able-bodie d men from doing farm
' work.
"The purpOSO of Unemploy-
ment insurance should be to feed
and house a person Who? is, out
of work through no fault of his
own. It should be survival in-
surance, not an incentive to leave
the work force.
"Welfare laws, too, have been
stretched. Welfare must be re-
modelled to give a decent stand-
ard of living only to those who
are unable to find work. Wel-
fare Bums, corporate or indivi-
dual, will not be tolerated py
Canadian tax payers, and must
be eliminated."
Mr. Hill, a Varna hog and
white bean producer, spoke at the
end of his third year as Fed-
eration president. He told the
farmers present that a larger
membership would enable the
• Federation to serve farmers bet-ter. Now the. OFA has 12,227
members. He set the member--
ship target at 18,000 by next
convention.
He pointed to vertical inte-
gration as another prime concern
of farmers and placed part of
the blame for growing integration
on banks for not providing enough
short and intermediate-term
credit to farmers. "The Pro-
vincial Government should amend
the charter of the "Province of
Ontario Saving's Office" so banks
can lend short-term money to
farmers, he said.•
Licensing or registering of
farmers, he added is one way of
slowing future integration. "who
can Produce food Penuneroially,
and participate in government
Programs for farmers, must be
Settled soon!"
"Farmers make tremendous
contributions to Canada. In 1971,
Canadian farmers bought 3 billion
dollars worth of goods and ser-
vices. The farm Machinery in-
dustry employs 15,000 workers--
to feed industry, 9,000. About
one-third of the freight moved
through the Seaway, and nearly
20% of the goods moved by rail-
ways, comes from farmers. This
means Jobs and wages."
What faces the consumer, Mr.
Hill claimed, is the cost of high
living not the high cost of living.
"Wages continue to rise much
faster than food prices, so that
an hour's work buys more food
today than ever before. That
includes fancy packages, partial
preparation and all the promotion
that's included."
He told, the farmers delegates
from across Ontario, that their
largest future increase in farm
income will come from the
market place. "Farmers must
'become experts in marketing."
The National Marketing Le-
gislation gives farmers from all
provinces the opportunity to get
together and explore the market,
said Mr. Hill. He called the
recent forming of a National Egg
Agency, a forward step.
"Canada badly needs a feed
grains policy. There must be
balance of regional respon-
sibility." He told the meeting,
grain producers must get decent
prices for their crops, while
livestock producers must have
adequate supplies of reasonably-
priced grains. "The Canadian
Federation of Agriculture a-
dopted such a policy. Hopefully,
this proposal will be implemented
right away."
They Still Speak
Aramaic, The
Language of Jesus
In the village of Ma'lula
in Syria, where the houses
of heavy native stone are
tinted blue, one would hard-
ly notice the passage of time
since the birth of Christ,
over 2000 years ago. The
people have changed little,
in dress and habits, and
more importantly in their
speech. For it is here in
Ma'lula, as well as in two
other villages in Syria, Jeb-
'adeen and Bakhaa, that
one can hear the Aramaic
language Christ used dur-
ing His life on earth.
Aramaic was spoken
throughout ancient Pales-
tine, and the lands that are
now Jordan, Lebanon, Syria,
southern Turkey, and north-
ern Iraq. But after the Arab
conquest of these lands in
the seventh century, Ara=
maic was gradually replaced
by Arabic. In Syria, only
those three villages, all in
the Qalamon valley not far
from Damascus, have pre-
served the ancient language
of Christ to the present day.
The population numbers
only a few thousand, two-
fifths of them Greek Or-
thodox, anbther two-fifths
Greek, and the rest Moslem.
Philologists of the Uni-
versity of Beirut tell us that
while the Aramaic dialect
of these three villages has
been intermixed with Ara-
bic, the villagers would have
understood, and been un-
derstood by, Christ and the
people of His time.
Naturally, the people of
Ma'lula are very proud of
their Aramaic language and
take pains to keep it alive
and flourishing, Many fam-
ilies speak only Aramaic to
their children until the
youngsters are five years
old and must go to school,
where they learn Arabic,
the national language.
Outside Syria, Aramaic is
spoken at Urrnia, in Turkey
. by the Chaldean Catho-
lics of Bartelle in norther::
Iraq . and by the village :.s
of Malabar in southwester:.
India. And Aramaic is
used in the liturgy of
taro churches which %.,%`!::: •
