Crop is promiSing Area ,gardeners going nuts By SHARON DrETZ A delegation from. the Huron Federation of Agriculture met with Ontario's minister of agriculture, Lorne Hen- derson, Thursday in Toronto to demand a freeze on the purchase of Ontario farm- land by absentee foreign buyers. The delegation, which was accompanied by Ontario Federation of Agriculture president, Ralph Barrie, called for legislation to prevent foreign investors from buying up Ontario farmland. They told Hen- derson if he was not prepared to place such legislation before the legislature, they wanted an immediate freeze on the purchase of Ontario farm- land by foreign interests. Huron County represen- tatives included Grant Curran, vice-president of the Ashfield Federation of Agriculture; John Van Beers, regional director for Huron Fast Central; Bob Robinson, president of the McKillop Federation of Agriculture and Merle Gunby, president of the Huron Federation of Agriculture. Henderson told the delegation "his hands were tied" because he cannot act until a bill, now before the house, is passed, This bill would require absentee foreign owners to register with the government and Companies with off-shore interests purchasing farm land in the province to declare themselves. The bill would only be in effect for one year, however. The minister did suggest that the Huron Federation approach their county council to request the government to pass a bill placing a freeze oh the purchase of farmland in the ourity by foreign absentee diets.

Exeter Cemetery, Since the bill would only protect Huron County and not the entire province, the federation representatives decided against this action. Following their meeting with Henderson, the Huron delegation met with Jack Riddell, Huron-Middlesex MPP and Liberal agriculture critic in the legislature and Murray Gaunt, MPP for Huron- Bruce. They also met with the New Democratic Party's agriculture critic, Donald MacDonald. Riddell and Gaunt told the delegation the minister is not prevented from taking ac- tion by the bill now before the legislature. It is very simple they said to attach an amendment to the bill placing a freeze on the purchase of Ontario farm- land by foreign non- resident interests for the time period covered by the bill, Huron Federation of Agriculture president, Merle Gunby, said there are ten- tative plans to take a resolution to the Ontario Federation of Agriculture asking the OFA to request a freeze on the sale of Ontario farmland to foreign absentee owners. The Huron federation hopes the clout of a resolution from the provincial organization may have a greater effect on the minister. Gunby said the Ontario agriculture minister finally admitted at the Thursday meeting there is a problem with foreign absentee ownership in Huron CoUnty at least. Last Month, the Huron Federation called for the resignation of the minister unless he took immediate action to curb the sale of Ontario's farmland to foreign absentee interests. Henderson's response to the call for his resignation was to quote yet again, the Do distinctively rural attitudes, values and beliefs exist in the Ontario coun- tryside? How has the rural way of life been modified over time? These are a few of the questions that will be dealt with at the Agricultural History of Ontario seminar day on Saturday November 1 at the University of Guelph. "Historians bring a strongly urban perspective results of a ministry of agriculture study which says land belonging to foreign absentee owners in the province is less than 1 percent. He did invite representatives of the Huron Federation to meet with him which brought about Thursday's meeting. The federation was prompted to renewed action following the sale of over 1,000 acres of farmland in McKillop township to foreign absentee interests during the summer. Another 500 to 800 acres of McKillop farmland is a prospective purchase by foreign absentee owners at this time. In Colbourne Township considerable acreage was sold over the summer to the same type of buyers. The Huron Federation of Agriculture has been working closely with the Rural Development Outreach project (RDOP) University of Guelph, in studying foreign ownership. The RDOP is presently in- volved in the second phase of the study, looking at the effect of foreign ownership on communities. The first phase of the project was completed and presented to federation members last June when it was disclosed that 9.5 per- cent of the county's land was owned by people living outside the country.

Childhood is that won- derful time when all you need to do to lose weight is take a bath. to bear upon our history today, but .this is misleading when you realize that until the last 60 years, the' majority of Canadian lived in rural areas„' says a program organizer, Professor Alan Brookes, University of Guelph. Now in its fifth year, the seminar day has become a major means of promoting wider appreciation of Ontario's agricultural roots among laymen and historians alike. Religion in rural Ontario is the theme for this year's seminar. "Culturally the church was certainly the most important institution and played a central role in developing attitudes, values and beliefs," says Prof. Brookes. Reverend Glenn Lucas, archivist for the United Church archives will open the proceedings by discussing sources for a study of Ontario's rural history and the present state of this field of research. The roles played by the church and ministers in the community from frontier times to the advent of this century are chronologically presented in the three remaining papers. Professor Richard Reid, University of Guelph, considers the changes brought about in the Presbyterian church by its tranference and adaptation to the new world in the early 1800's. "The Catholic Priest in Rural Ontario: 1850 to 1900" is the subject of Professor Gerald Stortz, Wilfrid Laurier University. Prof. Brookes and his associates, Catherine Wilson and Gordon Hak, conclude by discussing the early decades of the present century.

During his recent ex- periment, Rader used seeds secured in London and some In this stage, it is up to the doctor to help the patient by whatever means is available, Certainly the doc- tor should carefully explain the need for treatment, the success rate of treatment in similar patients.

Dr. Anderson pointed out that a doctor takes very seriously his responsibility to prescribe the best treat- ment for his particular patient. He stressed the need for the patient to trust the doctor and to rely on the doc- tor to make the proper deci- sion regarding treatment. It is also important for the patient to believe the doctor will not drop his case until there is some resolution of the problem, said Dr. Ander- son. "Rely on the doctor and not on what you read," Dr. Anderson warned. "Acl- vances are coming so rapid- ly that what was written a year ago is out-of-date.' • The speaker also urged that doctors caution patients to be realistic about their treatment, aware that results don't usually happen quickly. "Optimism forms the backbone for treatment," Said Dr. Anderson. Family and friends are as vital support system for the cancer patient. "Don't smother the patient with kindness." ad- vised Dr. Anderson, "It isn't a good feeling to be smothering.''

The peanut plant system is, Rather' than asking questions of concern and delivering orations about hope, it is far better to take the children off the hands of a young mother with cancer for an hour or two to give her time for herself, suggested Dr. Anderson. Relatives should unders- tand that the needs of the patient are foremost and family needs are.secondary. Family and the cancer patient must communicate, the family must realize the emotional needs of the patient and allow the patient to make those kinds of decisions for himself, Dr. Anderson explained by saying that some of the saddest cases he'd seen in- volved a family that wanted the cancer patient to submit to many treatments that would only help for a short 'time, when the patient wanted only to let nature take its course toward death. "It is the patient's problem, the patient's life," said Dr, Anderson, "The patient must be captain of the team. "Cancer is a dreaded dis- ease, and new treatments are constantly being developed and tested." said Dr. Anderson. "We have more opportunities now to be more aggressive than ever before in the treatment of cancer." He said no one treatment is necessarily the full answer. He called for a com- bination of surgery. radia- tion and chemotherapy, with the doctor calling the shots. Dr. Anderson cautioned that research is costly and getting more and more ex- pensive. As a result, fewer and fewer young people are going into research because the funds just aren't available to pay for the work. "If we are going to carry out research at the present rate," said Dr. Anderson, "we are going to have to rely more and more on the private sector for money. differint froin the potato family.

EMERSON DAVIS Suddenly in Kirkton, Ontario, on Tuesday, October 7, 1980, Emerson Le A person with a serious chronic ailment like cancer must know the truth about the illness and be the catpain of the team dealing with it. That was the advice of Dr. Ralph Anderson of Victoria Hospital in London, a prac- titioner who has spent more than 10 years researching the disease called cancer and treating patients suffer- ing from it, Dr. Anderson was speak- ing Monday evening in North Street United Church at the annual meeting of the Huron County Unit of the Canadian Cancer Society. The speaker told his audience he has found that _patient get very close to as soon as a diagnosis of cancer is made. it is ab- solutely essential that the doctor tell the patient of is il- lness in a "simple, straight- forward fashion". At the same time, the doctor will also outline the treatments available for the patient's particular problem. and ex- plain that now, more than ever before in history, there is reason to hope for successful treatment. The patient goes through several emotional stages after being confronted with such news. First there is shock, a period when the patient' denies the presence of the il- lness.Dr. Anderson said most patients handle it, very in- telligently. but he has found it is a time when cancer patients remain very much to themselves. Family and friends should neither approve or disap- prove on the patient's reac- tion in this stage. but 'allow the patient to work it out in his own time and in his own way. Next comes the anger, rage, envy and resentment. These emotions are displac- ed in all directions, and nothing is right anywhere.' Patients in this stage are usually critical of doctors, nurses, family and friends. Dr. Anderson suggested this stage can be con- siderably shortened by per- sons who are dealing with the patient putting themselves in the patient's .shoes. If they understand from where the anger stems and why the resentment is pre- sent, they will be of much greater assistance to 'the patient's progress into the next phase which is accep- tance of a chronic and serious disease. . Usually there is some depression evident in this stage until the patient learns to live within the confines of the disease, Sometimes treatment re- quires hospitalization and painful processes or surgery in which they may lose a part of the body. Sometimes treatment necessitates a total change in lifestyle and a new dependence on others. While not often a great problem in Ontario, finan- cial problems because of treatment can further frustrate and demean a patient, Patient with ailment should be told the truth PLENTY OF BULBS — Members of the Exeter Lioness Club were busy planting tulip bulbs in the flower beds surrounding the town square, Thursday.
