Those of y ou who have been
reading any writings for some
t he
know that I have deplored
waste and destruction of food
the producing land, Therefore it
o'a cie me very, happy that' the
delegates at the annual meeting
of the Ontario Federation of
Agriculture agreed with me.
It was agreed that farmers have
th e duty to ,point out to the
pernment and, to the public that
once land is destroyed, it can't be
recovered. However, following
This, it is the duty of society as a
whole to see that the burden of
preserving food producing land is
got born by the farmer alone. It
was argued that our Nolthland
should be opened up for industry
and that a permanent freeze
,should be put on any change in
the use of class one and two land.
With food shortages in many
parts of the world it is immoral to
destroy even one acre of land.
Society should cry out loud
whenever this happens.
Some argued that a retiring
tanner should be able to build a „
house on a corner of his old farm.
I say that this should only be
allowed when this is an
unproductive corner, and in order
to protect the next owner it should.
be far enough from the ,on,livestockt
buildings so it
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.
Sonic 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.

s Ltd. 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. Toranny is interested in music and is now learning
card games and chegs. 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,
