Senior. club shows craft 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.

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.
