News and Views From Huronview Road Grants Up 35 Per. Cent ' 1 • The Bruce 'County grant frOm the Ontario Miniitry of Transportation and Communications for highwiYs • will be $1,193;000 this year.

Federation Hears Talk On Banking Banks have changed, so said Mr. Einar, Smith ' speaking 'for the members of the Huron County Federation of Agriculture in Exet- er. It used to' be that banker§ felt that they . were better than their customers,'Mr. Smith said, but not any more. •• It used to 'be that loans were approved 'or rejected on the basis of the assets of the customer. That , made it easy for the banker for he didn't run any risks. Now the banker 'will look at the 'ability ' to repay, which entails, more work for the banker and also, for the customer. - Mr. Smith, who.wiil come to the farm' with his van if necessary to see first hand where the money is to be used, operates. the first mobile bank in Canada fer the Royal Bank. The barik still needs a -reasonable security and will look at marketing conditions 'and at the profitability of the loan, apart from security. „ He ' counselled the few who braved the blowing snow and did forego, the pleasure§ of the international hockey game, to have credit established before going out to buy. Your bargaining position is that much §tronger;-, fie said, if you have cash in your hand. All banks have some kind of program to help the farmer decide if a venture is feasible. If it is, the assets are less important than repayment capability is. It is to the advantage of the lender to help, the farmer get ahead, for the better off the farmer is, the better it is for the lender. In the question period following the address, the difficulty of young_ beginning farmers in securing loans to become viable, was discussed. The bank doesn't think 'that a yoUng man can• start with a small acreage to expand until it is,,N viable. They would be considered to be hobby farmers. Some collateral frOm dad or uncle is necessary. In other • bii§iness before the meeting, 'which was chaired by the first vice president Alan Wainer, it was thought ,that the. Huron Federation should not protest the seat belt law, .as there are enough issues .pertaining to farming .with- out adding ,more civil issues to it.
