Those of y ou who have been
acting my writings for some
re, know that I have deplored
e waste and destruction of food
educing land. Therefore it
ade me very happy that the
l egates at the annual meeting
the Ontario Federation of
griculture agreed with me.
It was agreed that farmers have
ce 887.6164 e duty to point out to the
vernment and to the public that
ace land is destroyed. it can't be
vered. However, following
is, it is the duty of society as a
hole to see that the burden of
eserving food producing land is
t born by the farmer alone. It
as argued that our Noithland
old be opened up for industry
d that a permanent freeze
mold be put on any change in
ease of class one and two land.
th food shortages in many
; arts of the world it is immoral to LTD,
estroy even one acre of land.
ociety should cry out loud
henever this happens.
Some argued that a retiring
rarer should be able to build a
ouse on a corner of his old farm.
say that this should only be
alloyed When this is an,
unproductive corner, and in order
to protect the next owner it should.
be far enough from the livestock
buildings. so it won't
interfere because of possible
smells. Mind' you, I hope to be
one of those retiring farmers
myself sometime.
Did• you know .that Ontario has
only 10. million acres of good land
left? B.C. led the way in Canada
by putting all good agricultural
land in a reserve. At the same
time they said that now that the
farmer is locked in agriculture, he
has to be - guaranteed a decent
income so he can provide for his
old age without having to sell his
farm to a developer. Over there
they have seen food imports from
California dwindle to next to
nothing and even imports from
Mexico are going down because
on the way up it is gobbled up by
California.
Some day we will be in the
same position with the food
brought in from Florida, and we
better be ready to produce our
own food.

HE NEEDS BIG BROTHER
Tommy is a lively , uninhibited eight-year-old — an engaging
youngster in both-looks and personality.
Anglo-Saxon in descent, he is healthy and slim with brown
eyes, blonde hair and fair skin.
Tommy craves attention so he prefers the company of older
people, either children or adults. Because Tommy was restless
and easily distracted he spent longer than usual in kindergarten.
Last year he was an average Grade Ode student, and now, in
Grade Two, he loves school. A creative boy, he enjoys drawing
and coloring. Tommy is interested in music and is now learning
card games and chess. If an eight-year-old can be said to have a
hobby Tommy's would be mechanics.
Tommy loves camping, fishing and swimming. He splays
baseball and is planning to join Cubs.
Affectionate Tommy needs much love, along with attention
and stimulation. Young involved parents who can be both warm
and firm will find him a fine son. Older brothers and sisters (but
not younger ones) will be an asset in Tommy's adopting family.
To inquire about adopting Tommy, please write to Today's
Child, Ministry of Community and Social Services, Box 888,
Station K, Toronto M4P 2H2. For general information, consult
your Children's Aid Society.
