The Conservatives have allowed a decline in food processing plants and the growth of food retail chains so the farmers can produce it but what does he do with it? asks McQuail. You can only eat so many tons of peaches yourself," he quips. If necessary the NDP would be prepared to pass legislation requiring supermarkets to stock available Ontario produce. • The NDP agricultural policies are also aimed at preserving the family farm. The NDP would keep Ontario fanners comPeti- tive by creating interest programs to assist farmers pay high interest rates, "If the Ontario government can give huge amounts of money to Massey -Ferguson and Chrysler, wily can't it be done for the farming industry?" McQuail wonders. The New Democrats would implement a land banking system similar to a program working in Saskatchewan. It would allow a father to retire and get a fair price for his land and it allows the son to farm for the first five yearsfpithout capital drain of outright Attend World Day of Prayer One hundred area 'women gathered at Lucknow United Church for the World Day of Prayer service on Friday afternoon.

The problems In the fanning industry today are related to allowing the economy to favour big business, putting farmers and small businessmen in an unfair position • onnPeddvelY• says Mcgtildl. Marker value property tax assessment is another example t' the discrimination against the farmer and small businessman, • according to McQuail, Market \value imesstitent will see the burden of the property tax shift to farmers, small businessman and residents. Colmar- cial property is sold on the basis of whit the buyer can earn but farm property is assessed on its market value with the add' speculative pressure. • The NDP would use economic value assessment which is based on the rental value of each type of property. The ism property or house would be assessed accord- ing to what the owner could 'earn if he were to rent it McQuail is apprehensive about the pro, posed industrial park at the Bruce Nuclear Development. Contrary to everyone's as- sumption, the industrial park would not, be using waste heat but rather high pressure steam which is the steam produced before it enters the carbines. The energy used 'to supply the Industrie! park °therefore, would not be used to generate electricity. The Bruce agrt-park however, does use waste heat to heat its greenhouses.

The proposal subsidizes big companies by spending public money to build a harbour and roads for the industry to locate there. McQuail is not sure the industry will be compatible with the fanning industry and smell business in this ares. • "I don't think I like the idea of an aluminum processing plant or iron ore processing plant located at the Bruce, with my farm down wind," observes- McQuail. Both of these industries and.a fuel re -proc- essing plant are prospective industries which may locate at the Bruce' The energy centre would only create between 200 and 400 jolts which would not relieve the unemployment picture when Bruce B is completed ant) in no way justifies the millions of dollars spent to build the nuclear development, McQuail points out. • The NDP proposes completing Bruce B and Pickering B power stations which hydro estimates would give 3000 and 4,000 megawatts over the reserve required. They would not continue Darlington how- ever, because' it's more important to use • those funds for energy conservation'and\ developing renewable energy sources, notes The economic benefit derived from placing funds towards. conservation and developing renewable sources is calculated at one dollar spent on conservation saving four tunes that amount if invested in a new capacity. 11 • LUCKNOW, • UNITED CHURCH SUNDAY, MARCH 15 10 a.m. Sunday School 111:00 a.m. Morning Worship Pastor Don Daiwa YOUNG PEOPLE'S SERVICE Junior Choir • Investing in conservation puts the saving into the pocket of the forma, the small lousinessinut and resident.

Regarding the pilot project to develop etliinol at the Bruce, McQiisil has reserva- tions as a fanner dealing with one company buying grain and selling back protehi • Supplement. The project puts all the activity • in one spot„ he says. Parities will pay to tnick their grain to the plant and to truck the protein supplement back to their farms and labour will have to drive in to the plant from around the area. The NDP proposes building smaller plants in Southampton, Underwood, • Tiverton, • Teeswater and Ripley, for example. Ten smaller plants would replace one big plant. • It would reduce the costs and renewable energy sources such as wood and corn cobs could be used, McQuail suggests. The trucking distance would be shorter. It would provide employment locally where the labOur resides and it would be under local control near the people. The waste. heat from the plant could be' • used to supply heat to the town, adds McQuail. As well, if one plant breaks down. the others are still in operation. The NOP proposal would spread the activity across the riding instead of centralizing it at the Bruce, he observes. The Bruce proposals restructure our society to fit large centralized energy centres, says McQuail, but this does not suit a society based on the family farm. 4 OFFERS Hard Work Dedication .11.114.1•01•110411011. • .Study family we indisi The Presbyterian W.M.S. met at the home. of Mrs. Clara- Crowston with 17 members present, Mrs. Little presiding, op- ened the meeting with scrip- tiire passages and prayer.
