OFA president Gordon Hill says, 'The problem is the overflow of low-priced. U.S. cattle into Canada, The answer does not lie in a,subsidy, but in reducing the flow of inputs." Agriculture, Minister Eugene Whelan announced the subsidy in the House of Commons last week, Processors are to pass the government. funds on to beef producers. No cut-off date was given. for the subsidy on A-1 and A-2 cattle which is retroactived to March 4. On fatter grades, the subsidy applies to A-3 cattle from March 18 to April 13, and.on A-4 cattle from March 18 to April 6. Hill charges that although the money swill be paid to farmers, it is a consumer subsidy. "The main consumers of grade A beef are not people with ineo problems. This is simply subsidy to the affluent who has proved themselves quite capab of looking after their al; interests." Beef cattle imports during tb last month have quadrupIN More than 8,000 head have cotp into Ontario during each of last three weeks. The regal weekly run is less than 2,000, "The farm-gate price of be has slumped to $47.p hundredweight. That's far befog the cost of production. Produce need at least $55 per hundred weight to break even," says Ht "Because the cost squeeze is cxritical. the government mui ensure that the benefits of I subsidy go to. farmers.

But the system is not.at all unjust. It's aimed at telling the driver where he's gone wrong and giving him plenty of time to cor- rect his faults. For instance. When you've accumulated six points, you'll be notified and urged to improve your driving. When you've got nine, you'll prob- ably be asked to attend a private interview` and re-do your driving test At fifteen points, you'll lose your licence for thirty days and drop back to seven points.
