A follow-up to this action is a resolution prepared and passed regarding fuel pricing for far- mers. Whereas many urban communities have been registering complaints with re- gards to farmers hauling fuel in unsafe containers and Whereas most farm fuel dealers have been unable to or unwilling to deliver fuel to farmers at or near retail outlet prices and Whereas farmers are a very large -use consumer and should be able to avail themselves of the same price savings as urban consumers Therefore be it resolved that we the Federation of Agriculture pressure the Contact Bev Brown to book your ad space in The Rural Voice 519-335-6118 519-529-7610 PG. 70 THE RURAL VOICE, APRIL 1983 fuel companies and the appropriate Kelly, Keith Dickison & Dave McCready. ministries to ensure that farmers are Final arrangements for the Meet the able to participate in pricing reduc- Members meeting have been made.

The cost was usually in the area of $100-$150. We have tried to contact the business by phone and through the mail with no success. In addition, we have been informed by the Ministry of Consumer and Commercial Relations that the business has not responded to their inquiries. Please advise your members that pre -payment for such services is definitely not recommended and that our experience with Delta Photo has not been favourable. 1 VoIcE Name Address new H payment 1 1 Year subscription enclosed $7.00 ❑ renewal El me Mail to: THE RURAL VOICE.
