Charles Munroe, President of

In his speech to the OFA
convention Monday morning he
said, "Canadian farmers are the
most efficient agriculturalists in
the world."
This statement has weight

the International Federation of
Agricultural Producers and in this
position has access to a great deal

Peter Hannam re.,elected by
acclaimation as president of the
Ontario Federation of Agriculture
Monday, challenged OFA
members to work together to
create a "Positive Program for
Farmers".
In his post election speech at
the OFA's annual convention in
Hamilton Hannam spoke about
the bare economics of farming,
He said "It's tragic to consider
that other wage earners are
complaining about being kept to a
10 percent increase in wages by
the Anit-Inflation board when net
farm income has decreased 19
percent or 700 million dollars this
year on top of a 13 percent drop
last year." ,
According to Hannam this
hurts the rest of the economy. A
good example he says, is that
farm machinery sales are down
more than 84 million dollars in
just the first 9 months of this
year.
"That's 84 million dollars that

thriving community" .

doesn't have to pay out for wages,

saicL"so it effects the steel
industry and many others also."
Hannam says almost every
item used on the farm is
purchased from someone else so
if the agricultural industry suffers
in this county, everybody suffers.
Hannam also said that
marketing boards are largely
misunderstood. He urged farmers
to do more to promote domestic
sales and foreign markets for
trade.
Expanding on this Hanna said,
"The 90 cent Canadian dollar is
good for the Agricultural industry
because it forces consumers to
buy domestic produce."
Later in the day the OFA
supported resolution concerning
the labeling of Canadian produce.
The resolution will put pressure
on the Provincial and Federal
governments to devise a method
to have Canadian produc is
marked "Produced' in Canada':

Huron Hope staff provides hope
for youngsters with a disability
Tucked away on a residential
sideroad about two miles south of
Grand Bend is a school that as
Pele- put it 'is for the kids.' The
Huron Hope Day Nursery School,
located in the Alhambra Hall is 'a
day school, intended to give
children with a learning disability
a chance at developing the skills
which they have at their disposal.
At present there are six
children enrolled, with ages
ranging from four to eight.
'It's the level of progresion and
not the age'which is the important
factor,' says Joan Smith, school
supervisor.
One of the things which the
school emphaasizes is developing
the motor development skills of
the children. Such activities as
the obstacle course, circle time
which requires rhythmic singing
and clapping, help to enhance
their motor skills. ,
One of the reasons for the
establishment of the nursery,
which operates four half days per
week, was to allow for the orderly
progression' to the Huron Hope
day school at Huron Park and
then possibly to some form of
sheltered workshop such as Arc
Industries at Dashwood.
Don. Campbell, Executive
Director for the South Huron and
District Association for the
supply management in
agriculture.
He concluded, "Canadians
have every right to be well fed but
not at the expense of the farmer."
Mentally Retarded says that it is
well established,that exposure to
some type of educational system
is beneficial to the development
of a learning handicapped person;
`It allows them to function more
independently.'
The volunteen aspect is very
important for the continued
success of the Nursery School,"
continues. Don Campbell.
Between 30 and 35 people have
volunteered to spend a few
Mornings per week at the school
according to Ms. Smith. With this
number of people on hand it is
possible to have more than a one
to one student-teacher ratio.
Campbell said that other
'associations find it hard to believe
the number of volunteers which
the association can call upon.
"We're of the opinion that
there are more children .in the
area -that could make use of the
school but don't because the
parents believe it will cost money
to send them. The nursery school
is free," Campbell said. The
children are picked by taxi in the
morning and taken home after the
school is done.
In a world where the pursuit ion'
individualism seems to be on the
upswing, its reassuring to see
people caring for other people
who need some form of support in
their formative stages of life.
