Federation of Agriculture on Wednesday, February 22 to coincide with the government's National Food Strategy Conference. Farmers overflowed both the conference room and convention hall. OFA President, Peter Hannam, stressed that farmers will not accept a cheap food policy. Probably the greatest achieve- ment the government food strat- egy conference can make is a greater awareness of farm problems, stated Mr. Hannam. Commodity groups and farmers gave their unanimous support to four main objectives. They de- manded expanded markets for farm products both at home and abroad. Dairy farmers were told the cheese import quota must be rolled back to 35 million pounds. "Food is imported that is, produced under much lower standards than are required in Canada. We find this very grating", said Merele gunby, first vice-president of Huron County Federation of Agriculture. The Federal Government must proclaim its permanent support for the right of farmers to market their 'products collectively. Speaker after speaker took to the floor to state that since other industries and services in Canada had unions and associations, they against Teeswater whom they defeated 8-0 to bring home the trophy. Dean Wheeler scored 4 goals, Marty Rutledge 3 goals and Dwayne Achilles 1 goal.

You answer in a polite friendly voice. You get no response at all. It is clear someone is on the line, for after two or three repeated "hellos" you hear a receiver replaced. If they realize, when you answer, that they have a wrong number why do they not say so? This is a small thing but it is not good manners. * * * * * * must leave professional agriculturists to deal with their own industry. The Government of Canada must disassociate itself publicly from support of a cheap national food policy and must abandon plans to limit the price of food. New Canadian Federation of Agriculture President, Dobson Leigh (Alberta) pointed out that the food system has served 'Consumers well. "Farmers need more than sympathy from consumers" said Mr. Leigh. In responSe to a comment by Health and Welfare Minister, Monique Begin that there is 'a national emergency in nutrition, Peter Hannam stated that any nutrition problem in Canada was voluntary malnutrition. Dwayne Achilles. Gary Leis deserves honourable mention for his 3 game shut-out playing goal. The Federal and Provincial Governments must implement effective coordinated and mean- ingful stabilization and-or income assurance programs. "We were promised stabilization and we were promis- ed an income for all we could produce years ago. We can't live on words", said Peter Hannam. A telegram from the Prime Minister, the Right Honourable Pierre Trudeau, stating he would be unable to attend the farmers' co-conference drew negative re- action from farmers. The Honorable Eugene Whalen, Federal Minister of Agriculture was in attendance. The Minister stated his support of marketing boards and said he would resign if he thought the Government would do anything to hurt marketing boards. At a recent meeting, he stated, that all provincial Ministers of Agriculture voiced support for marketing boards. Mr. Hannam stated that those present were there to help support the Minister in his endeavours for positive farm policies. However, farmers would have been more reassured had Mr. Trudeau himself come to the meeting to make a commitment to agriculture. A strong commitment by Government to the agricultural industry would bring more under standing and support from all other Government, Ministries, commented Mr. Hannam. In conclusion, OFA President, Peter Hannam stated that Joe Clark, Lorne Nystrom and Eugene Whalen had all expressed their support for Canadian agri- culture to him. Considering food 'is such a strategic commodity, it is difficult to understand why Cariada's primary producers should be plagued by Govern- ment inaction. "Let's not be lulled into rest now", cautioned President Hannam. "Let's go back home and continue talking about farming problems and finding solutions. We must not let the GovernMent get away with talking, talking, talking and no action.
