Huron Region attended an inter - region gathering in London. This' victory rally, sponsored by the Huron Regional Goals Committee, was blessed with the presence of Hand of the Cause of God, William Sears. Mr. Sears spoke to those present about the urgent need for a , great acceleration in teaching the Baha'i Faith at this time of rapidly worsening world conditions. The title, Hand . of the Cause of God, dates back to the lifetime of Baha'u'llah when Baha'u'llah ap- pointed a few trusted , friends to assist in directing and promoting the work . of the Baha'i Cause. Abdul -Baha made provision in his "Will -and Testament" for, the establishment ofa permanent body of workers to' serve the Cause and to help the Guardian of the Faith; Shoghi Effendi. In 1951 the Guardian began the full development of this important institution by appointing 32 Hands. of the Cause between 1951 and 1957. He also extended, the range of their activities, instituting in each continent a Board of Counsel- lors, consisting of believers ap- pointed by the Hands, to be their deputies, assistants and advisors. 27 of these Hands were living at the time of the Guardian's passing in SUBSCRIPTION 70 THE LUCKNOW SENTINEL 1957; only 16 remain today. Mr. Sears; a former sports broadcaster on American radio and television, now lives in Canada and has dedicated his time and energies for the nextyear to the promotion of the Baha'i Faith in Canada. In .a recent message from the Universal House of Justice, the supreme institution of 'the Faith located in 'the Holy Land, Canada is regarded as the only country in the world at this time which has the capacity to fulfill' the teaching goals setdown for it in 1974'. when the Five Year Plan of teaching and consolidation was unveiled. Mr.. Sears is the author of several books, plays and film scenarios, including "God Loves Laughter", "The Wine of Astonishment" and "Thief In the Night". Ottawa Ready For 100 Farmers, Had .N. F. U. NEWS By Mayme Wilkins President Local 335 A group of over 1000 farmers, mainly from Ontario, converged 'on Parliament . Hill Ottawa on Wednesday, June, 30th. The farmers; under the direction of the National Farmers . Union gathered there to conduct an orderly demonstration in protest of the disastrous over -production penalty imposed on the industrial "milk producer and a 15% .cut in quota. The Quebec producers • had already been to Ottawa and their riotous activities had made the government overly cautious about us. Workmen had spent 5 hours the night before erecting a pipe -fence several feet high and welded into the pavement, all across the front of, the Parliament Buildings. What was most impressive.., was the number. of .Security Guard and Mounties everywhere - complete with crash helmets. Walter Miller, National ,Vice -- President of the NFU, presented 'a brief. In the brief he asked that: - The ,subsidy be increased so that the cost of disposing of inventories be born by all people, not just thce industrial milk producer. The present $1.35 levy deducted for in -quota milk should be paid by the public' treasury. 700,000 Ib. be the upper limit for the annual quota of one producer - imports of dairy products into Canada be more rigidly controlled - 'food aid programs be increased - more aggressive sales program by CDC - cut-back in dairy production be reduced provinces allocate available quotas immediately the Federal, Government pressure the Provincial Governments to form. one pool - one price thus putting the industry in a position for better' management and 'more equitable do o0\��4 ,�� a v . �J'?, i ti b`'�y ae\e ire e 5e 5) 4i '1',\``e!�o‘ `� Nh ale eco e\aV .,,\e' ree t .fie \2' a of F e 9` e o b'i tib` etc �5 a5 . , 5°'`.oe'`'.,,, e o�oF ' reat° f / % 1°‘�D GP` ► 0q'`? distribution of quotas. Blake Sanford, 'Regional Co-ord- inator for . Ontario, spoke to the gathering, then turned the mike over to Eugene Whelan, Federal Minister of Agriculture. The crowd willingly heard him out hoping to hear some promise .of a reversal of the penalty restrictions which will put many a dairy farmer out of business within the year. Mr. Whelan promised a new policy was coming out, but urged the farmers to go back to, their provincial government as it was there the real problem lay. The meeting had been scheduled for. the Carling Building, 'but the RCMP felt they couldn't police it adequately so changed it ' to Parliament Hill.. Also, ' the Provin- cial Premiers were to have a Conference in Ottawa now, and the NFU had set this meeting up with the expectation of having them present also. However, ‘they conveniently had to cancel their conference - couldn't get the premiers in because of the air strike which was already over! We were congratulated on our orderly conduct and while we may have received "open" .promises, we feel, if we : hadn't made . the move to Ottawa, the government would still be sitting on theirhands doing nothing. If .this doesn't, bring results, we are prepared to move to Toronto: and continue on until a satisfactory solution is reached 'to our disast- rous 'dairy problem. Those present from this area were: Lorne Luther; Mr. and Mrs. .Lorne MacDonald, Mr. and Mrs. Allan ' MacDonald, Joe VanOsch, Mr. and Mrs. Chas.
