Will government listen? A New Democrat task force on agriculture held a public meeting in Wingham last week, Among thirteen farm organizations represented there was a surprising consens- us. All agreed the provincial government must look seriously at the industry in this province. prevent farmers from leaving the land or we will have a food crisis that will pale the oil crisis of the seventies. This consensus is surprising because farmers are notorious for not being organized and for being unwilling or unable to co-operate for the betterment of their situation or the progress of the industry. All underlined again the serious nature of the situation facing farmers in Ontario today and the crying need for government to initiate programs to help farmers in crisis continue to produce food, Farmers loathe to receive government assistance are now saying "Why Not?" if that is the only way to get a return on their labour and their equity then so be it. The task force is to draw attention to the plight of farmers in the province and to study methods of assisting an industry in crisis. But will the Ontario Conservatives listen? Will they be prepared to act before it is too late? latter to the editor To the Editor: The Lucknow Branch of the Arthritis Society is pleased to announce that the 1983 campaign raised a total of $26$1,71, exceed- ing its goal by $6$1.71.

But when the horseman arrived at the doctor's home he was away on an errand of mercy in another comrmunity. Hence, the news was relayed to Mrs. Milne the housekeeper which, because of her inquisitive and talkative nature, might just as well have been sent by smoke signal to everyone within a radius of twenty miles. The rider was not allowed to leave until the news hungry woman had gleaned from his every possible bit of information. 'Do I hear ye right,,"„ she questioned.
