Bank official tells farmers to be professional
*from page 2
and we'll be suckered into
high rates
again borrowers beware.
They'll only give you
something to get something
back."
Mr. Morel said the BOM
has lent Canadian farmers in
excess of $1 billion. He noted
that the bank has written off
a substantial amount of
farmers and he said, "We're
not proud of the fact. The
bank loses money too.
"The reality of it that some
farmers will go out of
business," that Mr. Morel
said, is part of the free en-
terprise system.
"We don't like to play the
role of deciding who and
should go out of business and
who should survive," he
added.
One farmer noted, "it
appears to me that the banks
are running the farming
industry. If in the future
credits are demanded as in
the past, the whole system
will collapse."
Many attending the
meeting were concerned
about, the millions of dollars
that banks have been lending
financial troubled countries.

Hurons social cases down
Ry Stephanie Levesque
It could be a trend or a
fluke, that the social services
department closed more
cases than it opened in
February, said ad-
ministrator John MacKin-
non.
Speaking at council's
March 3 meeting, Mr.
MacKinnon said in another
month he would know if the
number of assistance cases
is actually going down.
In January, the general
assistance caseload was at
304, up considerably from 167
in January of 1982. Mr.
MacKinnon indicated the
gap between the number of
cases opened and those
closed narrowed in January
as 96 were opened and 88
cases were closed.
This news could mean a
better financial position at
the end of the year for the
social services department.
At the end of January, costs
had increased 49 per cent

they kept Mildmay off the
score board Friday evening.
It was a tough hockey game
and they showed how their
hard work could really make
a game of hockey just great.

acted like a second goalie. It
won another shutout for
Adam Skillen who has been
great in the net for Lucknow.
The score was 0 - 0 eind
was the first scoreless game
this year.

farmers in Ontario," Mr.
Morel was asked.
He replied, saying that
loans to foreign countries
have minimual losses. The
countries must corttinue to
exist, they rely heavily on
imports and need support
from western banks. He said
that these countries have the
right to defer interest
payments, "bid in 1983 and
1984 western banks won't be
so willing to lend."
Mr. Wilford added, "No
matter how good their
(financially distressed
countries) intentions are, if
they don't have the money
they can't pay."
Mr. Morel said the BOM
had backed farmers by
supporting the Ontario Farm
Adjustment Assistance
Program (OF AAP).
OFAAP is available to
'LUZON
farmers who have a farm
income of at least $12,000, an
equity between 10 and 60 per
cent and interest and
principal payment last year-
amounting
earamounting to at least 20 per
cent of their total expenses.
The government budgeted
$60 million for the program
$10 million was used.
Mr. Morel said that of 3,648
applications, the BOM
handled 787. Of the total
amount, 3,509 were approved
and the BOM share was 741.
One farmer commented
that the government never
intended on handing out the
entire $60 million for OFAAP
in one year.
Mr. Wilford asked for a
show of hands, which
discovered that less than a
half dozen had applied for
OFAAP assistance. Many
more felt they could have

were discouraged at the

Tom Shoebottom, auc-
tioneer at the Feb. 9
Gowanstown penny auction,
questioned the BOM public
image, asking, "How are
bank managers evaluated?
Are they checked to be sure
that they are reliable? Do
you back harrassment and
managers calling four times
a day to say they'll be taking
away equipment."
Calling it "immoral
behavior," he said that Mr.
Morel should "be held
personally responsible for
managers' actions."
'If you think this group is
made up of radicals and
militants," he added, "we'll
show you just how' militant
and radical we can be my
good man."
