Fruit is a typical example of how Canada is neglecting to retain a comprehensive policy to grow and process as much fruit as possible from the precious few acres that we have. Our Ontario goyernment allows the Niagara fruit land to be covered with asphalt and cement. Whelan announces dairy program...... CONTINUED FROM PAGE 16 "It is hoped that the in quota levy will be sufficient to cover export losses because this would be consistent with the principle of producer responsibility for export disposal of dairy products in excess of domestic requirements. However, for the 1978-79 dairy year, federal funds will be used to finance additional export costs if necessary and a budget of $24.8 million .has been set aside for this purpose. In 1977-78, the govern- ment committed $15 million for, export costs, however, through careful management and market- ing the Canadian Dairy Commis- sion spent substantially less than the amount budgeted." The special contingency levy will cover the disposal costs for any in sleeve production that is surplus to Canadian require- ments. However, no producer will have to pay for disposal of sleeve production of another producer and no province will have to pay for sleeve -production in another province. The contingency levy will be refunded to the individual producer at the end of the dairy year if he has not produced in the sleeve or if production into the sleeve is needed to meet Canad- ian requirements. Mr. Whelan said he is pleased with the results of the butterfat exchange program introduced by' the Canadian Dairy • Commission in the past year. "The Canadian Dairy Commis- sion will be continuing the program in 1978-79 and develop- ing new markets for whole milk powder . and evaporated milk. Sales of these products result in better returns to producers than skint milk powder," Mr. Whelan said. We have been net importers of pork since 1974. Recently Agri- culture Minister Newman has encouraged increased pork prod- uction. Reports are that many farmers plan to dramatically expand hog production. This expansion will probably take place on a large scale with huge investments in building and equipment without any thought of change in our marketing system. If there is a great expansion, followed by another "bust" cycle, many of the average farmers will be forced out of production, probably forever. Large corporations, many fin-' ancial by feed companies will stay in production if only to provide, a proft margin on ,feed. The poultry industry is gone from the small producer, the egg industry is gone, both of which may be controlled by large non -farmer operations. son, at the Walkerton Nursing Home, Sunday visitors Stith Mr. and Mrs. Clifford Young were Mr. and Mrs. Jim Young, Marty, Jamie, ' Karen and Liane of Langside, Russell Young of Toronto and Debbie Ferguson of Newmarket. • Mr. and Mrs. Claude Dore spent last week in Clearwater, Florida, where they stayed at the Sandcastle Hotel. They flew down from Toronto on- April 15 and returned on April 22. The weather was hot while they were there. Two places they visited were Disneyworld and Busch Gardens. They enjoyed their week's holi- day. Alpha tours Brussels new arena • Ralph and Pat Watson recently gave members of ALPHA Huron a tour of Brussels' new arena. Members were particularly interested in the building's com- plete accessibility to the handi- capped. An elevator makes it possible for wheelchair users to reach the second floor. Here activities on the ice can be viewed in comfort. Washrooms at both levels are usable by the handicap- ped. • Congratulations to the people of the Brussels' area, who planned and built this community centre. At their meeting held in the upper auditorium of Brussels' arena, ALPHA Huron members planned a survey of'accommoda- tion in Huron County suitable for handicapped persons. An adver- tisement in local papers will alert the public to the survey. A donation was made by the group to the Crippled Children.
