It's not a, matter' of setting farm interests up against consumer interests. The consumer and the farmer want the same thing - a steady supply of top-quality food at reasonable prices. The real battle, the gut issue, is Canada's concern for the hungry and the poor in other nations in the world. How much of our standard of living are we willing to sacrifice in order to help our less fortunate brothers in other countries? she asked. This government intends to provide incentives to farmers and fishermen, including stabilization of incomes and markets, she said. The second thrust Mrs. Campagnolo said is to seek protection of those least able to help themselves. Legislation in this, area includes more aid for older citizens and war veterans, including pension increases and lowering of some age requirements. The third is cushioning of some of the harshness of inflation experienced by Canadians. The enormous list of legislation proposed touches the life of every Canadian. Referring to lack of Liberal representation in the riding Mrs. Campagnolo said it could be done if Liberals worked together and were organized properly. "We went 17 years without a Liberal member in our riding The afternoon unit met at the home of Mrs. Jean Taylor with 14 members and 30 visitations recorded. The Devotional program was prepared by Miss Mae Skelton with "Peace" as the theme, She opened the meeting by reading a poem, "Lord s make me an instrument of Thy Peace". Members joined in singing "0 God, Our help in ages past". The Scripture, Micah 4:1-4 was read by Mrs. V. Hupfer. A reading "Armistice Day" was presented by Miss Skelton, Mrs. J,DeVries told the story of the origin of the Liberals from across the riding of Huron Middlesex were in Zurich Wednesday for the annual dinner meeting of the riding association and to hear a British Columbia M.P. tell of progress being made by the Trudeau Government in Ottawa. Mrs. Iona Campagnolo, (L-Skeena), parliamentary assistant to Indian and Northern Affairs Minister Judd Buchanan, spoke on behalf of Mr.Buchanan. "Make no mistake" she said "Prime Minister Trudeau is in command and the cabinet and troops are working to acknowledge the overwhelming trust placed in this party last July 8th." Mrs. Campagnolo said the three main thrusts enunciated in the Speech from the Throne are beamed at combatting inflation. First, with steps to increase the supply of goods and services so that shortages don't shoot prices up. Quoting the Agriculture Minister Gene Whelan, she said "The federal government has taken action to stimulate farm production. The capital gains tax on farms passed from father to son was wiped off the books. Other tax changes are encouraging farmers to expand their livestock herds and to hang on to their increased income and invest it to improve their farms. The Farm Credit Corporation has been expanding the money supply for farmers, and especially for young farmers. Mr ,. Whelan has legislation ready for Parliament so that better incentives can be offered to young farmers. The federal government has new policies for agricultural stabilization, for the dairy industry, for the feed grains industry, for cash advance payments and for crop storage and handling. All of these policies take into account the fact that we are entering into a new era in agriculture today, she said. There is absolutely no reason in the world why Canada cannot contintte, to enjoy a continuous supply of top-quality, nutritious food, and at reasonable prices. But the key people in the system our farmers - must be given the proper incentives and the proper 4—THE BRUSSELS POST, NOVEMBER 13, 1974 (Skeena)", she said, "and then we won it with a woman. Nothing is impossible." Mrs. Campagnolo defeated NDP member Frank Howard, who represented the riding for 17 years, in the July 8 election.
