BIG RESULTS WITH WANT ADS -11r-OrItario—ard eastern Canada are trying to form an eastern Canadian marketing board with, the sweeping powers legally • affOrded to them under present legislation. " No. I had better qualify that statement. Legislation for a group of provinces to form a semi-national marketing• board would have to be changed to allow a, group of only; ive or six provinces to form a board• with all the powers that a truly national marketing hoard has. I. cannot, for the life of me, un- derstand why any potato farmer would lobby against a marketing board. They would be doing nothing illegal if the legislation is changed: They • would simply be giving , themg'elves the power under the laws of this state to determine their own destiny, I have been watching carefully the testimony given to a series of hearings sponsored by the National Farm• Products Marketing Council. To be fair to the farmers, most of the evidence against,a potato marketing, board has come ram those who have the most to lose if the farmers control their, own mar k,etings-, Several organizations have:sprung up in recent months just to lobby and present evidence against the farmers. They have an' axe to grind and, since this is a free country, they .have every right to fight against '.an. organization that would give thein less power. I listen more carefully to the actual potato farmers who have been talking at the hearings. • For instance, Pat O'Neill. of RR3 Granton, Ontario told the hearing in quite simple terms that if prices do not improve this year, he will lose his farm. He has survived since 1970 onlyyTbecause land values have gone up and he has been able to borrow more money. But now, he's at his credit limit. If he doesn't make- a hefty profit, he's out of business. Eric Adams of Prince Edward Island faced the same prospect a It seems obvious to me that large- sca le buyers control. eastern' Canada's production and the present marketing ;board in the.. Maritimes has been stymied in efforts to help farmers because of the clout that the big companies appear to have in that area. Only by controlling all production can potato farmers from Ontario to P,E.I. control their own destiny. Then, and only then, will they have the necessary clout. ' The potato marketing board is in the same position now as the milk board in Ontario was 15 years ago. Much controversy was in' evidence. Every farmer over the age. of 45 was against the idea. Opposition came from every direction. But the believers in the plan forged ahead even though they were threatened and ostracized.. I submit to you today: that-it would be difficult to find a hundred of the more than 12,000 dairy farmers in Ontario who would go back to the old confusion in dairying 20 years ago when dairy farmers were eking out a subsistence. The-spud-farmers need to stand-up and be counted right now to support the formation of this marketing • board. Ten years from now, they'll be able to hand down a viable operation to sons and daughters who want to stay on the farm. 7—few-years- agcranci-swvived-only-h3t, • marketing hi own potatoes as a shipper. He admitted he would much rather stick strictly to farming hilt had to become a Shipper to survive. He had to take drastic steps. He is fighting a huge group of powerful people in the east who control - or are trying to control -- every potato produced. The hearings began in Charlot- tetown, continued in Andover, MB,' went to Toronto and concluded in Montreal a few weeks ago, In fact, if this mail strike continues; the Issue may be solved by the time this column hits print. • • • • •- • , • , ' . ,• • ' - , educt $39 from clahn r sheeplostin attac I . • Hickey, Wayne Todd appearedbe- fore Council in connection ':with the, severe loss of his sheep due to a dog attack, He presented the marketing, re ceipt for the.-ewes'he was 'ided, 'The minutes of the Sept- ' ember meeting were read and adopted On motion of Councillors Cranston and • Games of 200 .and over: Kin loss Mixed Bernice Kemp 224, 200, Pat Thompson 205, .201. • ' League Team points and standings: Chocolates 5, 30; Pretzels 5, Ladies' high single Val 25; Chides 2, 22; Lollipops Matthews 198.

"Would ye please come and take a look at. Jamie Fraser? He's fearful sick and his wife is grieving." The doctor turned slowly and looked at Neil. ObvionSly distressed, he gripped the rail of the ship with a tightness which showed white on his knuckles. "MaCCrinrion, the piper iSn'tit?" He asked and Neil nodded. "I too am grieving, not only for Fraser hut also for seven more who have been stricken with the same disease and four of those are children:" "What is thesickness, doctor. Can ye no do anything 'to cure it? Neil asked anxiously.' The doctor shook his head slowly and sadly'. "The disease is typhus - but as for the cure, I have no kn6-Wledge and neither I fear, has anybody else." "Is there no something to ease the suffering, doctor? Neil asked desperately.
