having. a lot to "say", referring to
their defence of currentgovemment
programs.
Mr. Klopp, while speaking about
the (Gross Revenue Insurance' Plan)
said, "We were told by the federal
government ... that if there would
be a short fall, that a third line of
defence (adhoc programs) would
come in. The federal government
would take care of it. Well, it
hasn't really happened, but I want
to say that third line of defence
should be there for this !`province.
They (federal government) decide
what we do for trade, not the prov-
ince; they decide what's going to
happen on interest rates, not us." As
this point, when Mr. Klopp referred
to his "adrenalin" flowing, a farmer
urged him to never mind his adren-
alin,. "get the money flowing."
A fiery Ralph Ferguson, MP
Lambton Middlesex, and the Liberal
agriculture critic, told farmers,
"You are not alone with the prob-
lems you're facing."
He called it a "national disgrace
that the total family farm income,
including ' off -farm income, is
$39,600, but $22,500 comes from
working off the farm at some other
occupation. Of the balance .left,
$9,900 comes from subsidies, feder-
al and. provincial. What's left, the
$7,200, is what you got from the
actual sales of your farm products.
Canadian agriculture cannot survive
under circumstances like that."

"a
national disgrace,"
Paul Frayne: "Probably the
most powerful tool and
weapon we have Is the truth.
Truth Is something they can
run from but they can't hide."
(Mark Cripps photo)
agriculture critic, said, "Agriculture
has not improved at all. Income for
red meat has basically been static
for the last 12 years." He said grain
producers probably receive 50 to
75 per cent less now. than 12 years
ago. "No one in this society has
taken that kind of reduction and
faced the increase in the cost . of
producing that we as farmers have
done. We have a selling, job to do.
There are millions of urban people
who do not understand this and dQ
not want to understand this, and
basieally tell us we are crying wolf.
Can you think of a more important
aspect of society than food pro-
ducers?"
Mr. Villeneuve said it costs more
to run the jails of Ontario than the
Ministry of Agriculture and Food
(OMAF) is provided to operate its
budget to support the food industry
here in Ontario. "The budget for
OMAF is one per cent of the entire
take of the government of Ontario
at present, and that's not going to
farmers. That's going to administer
the ministry and then what's left
over goes to you in farm tax rebates
or other small benefits that we
receive."
Also saying he was "here to lis-
ten," Mr. Villeneuve added, "As a
farmer and as critic for the Ministry
of Agriculture and Food, we will
continue to emphasize to the gov-
ernment and also to inform our
urban people. that agriculture is not
'crying wolf". .
When asked during the press
conference what would happen if
no satisfactory answers arose out of
the rally, Mr. Frayne replied, that
no statement would be made that
night it would be discussed in the
future. "Probably the most powerful
tool and weapon we have is the
truth. Truth is something they can
run from but they can't hide," said
Mr. Frayne.

prepared by Guatemalans

will be held at the Lucknow
Christian Reformed Church, March
5, at2p.m,
Women from' Guatemala. invite
Christians around the world to unite
with them to pray that all people
will be used by God as instruments
of healing.
The service has been prepared by.,
women whose peoples have lived in
cooperation, not competition, with
the earth. Their country is
exhausted by immense social
problems and sin but these women
still ask, in this U.N. Year for the
World's Indigenous People, "What
does it mean to be the people of
God and instruments of healing?"
The voices of seven Guatemalan
women woven through the order of
worship give powerful testimony
through scripture readings, poetry
and song to their love for and
commitment to their suffering
nation: Canadians are invited to join
in solidarity with Guatemala as
people worldwide pray for
connection with the refugees,
homeless, drug abusers and people
with AIDS in their midst.
World Day of Prayer is a global,
ecumenical movement of "informed
prayer and prayerful action." On the
first. Friday in March each year,
people in over 170 countries
participate in a common service in
their own locality., Services are
translated into a multitude of
languages and dialects. •
In Canada, the World Day of
Prayer is sponsored by the
Women's Inter -Church Council of
Canada, a national council with
representatives from eleven
denominations. Local services are
organized by ecumenical
committees in more than 2000
communities across Canada, with
each church taking a turn to host
the annual service. The offerings
from the services are used to
„provide - study and worship
resources, to cover costs of printing
and distributing the services, and to
support ecumenical projects in
Canada and abroad.
Local co-ordinator is Syke
