what guarantee there was that
luron young people would want

industry here.
"L et's face it, we'd all like.our

here.
OFA president Hill said the
legislation should be put in place,
and then farmers can decide to
use it or not.
Mr. Bean also asked for help in

worship period with prayer.
The business meeting was
conducted by the president, Mrs.

There's been "practically no

Farm Improvement loans, gover-

Shop for credit and use one

Hill's advice. Bank managers
need farmers. "Educate your
local bank manager, invite him to
your farm. So what if the
neighbours think you're in finan-
