NEWS
though Watson has indicated that only
"dry" industry would be involved in the
development, it is still unclear what
restrictions that term implies.
The Concerned Farm Women also
had questions about the possible social
impact of more industrial development
on farm land in Grey/Bruce. Watson has
said that the area could expect "hun-
dreds, even thousands" of new jobs.
Perhaps this was the encouragement
that Watson had wanted to put before the
CFW, whose known mandate is the
protection of the family farm: you and
your children can come and work in the
factories and so afford to keep plowing
and baling on weekends.
Or does Watson envision an influx
of workers? Would he predict increased
land values? Increased equity could
mean greater borrowing power for the
farmer. It might even mean a more
comfortable retirement for some of
those rapidly aging farmers out there.
Some supporters of the Wat-Cha
proposal have expressed indignation
that the "marginal" farm land of Nor-
manby Township should be protected
while the more fertile fields within sight
from the CN Tower have reaped the
benefits of industrial development.
The Concerned Farm Women have
long recognized urban/rural inequities
but did not, at their meeting, jump on the
"if you can't beat 'em, join 'em" band-
wagon. Although they sec a higher tax
base as a possibility for the counties sup-
porting the park, they don't see that as
translating into less tax for the farmer —
only Less land. No resolution on the
issue was taken.0
ILLEGAL CHICKS
HALTED AT BORDER
Last month, 6,000 illegal U.S.
chicks were caught coming across the
Canada -U.S. border.
The chicks were part of a shipment
recorded at 57,000, but there were
63,000 in the load.
An inspector with the Ontario
Broiler Hatching Egg and Chick
Commission, Tom Wilson, made the
discovery. With imports of U.S. chicks
up 35 per cent so farm this year, the
commission decided to step up inspec-
tions at border crossings.OAW
