Why should they get subsidies when I get nothing but wages?" "Because they are dif- ferent," I said, knowing all the time that be would not understand because he has. never been closer to a farm than a mailbox. Farm leaders over the years have tried to explain why agriculture should be segregated for special treat- ment but no one has explain- ed it better than. Clarence Joldersma, writing in the Christian Farmer, the official organ of the Christian Farmers Federation of Ontario. I hope Clarence will forgive me for paraphrasing his pro- se but space does not permit a word-for-word reprint. Farmers, he says, are part of the task of preserving and developing creation. They not only provide food, shelter and other necessities for their families. Nor do they produce only to maximize profits. These, look only inward. A farmer has the task of .providing food for those who do not- and cannot -provide it for themselves, freeing them to develop and preserve other parts of creation. A farmer, then, must have a farming style that is com- patible with the real needs of human nature, with the health of the living nature he works with and with the finite resources at his disposal. A farmer should have the - freedom to choose techniques that enhance his creativity and freedom to work respon- sibly within the political, economic and social constraints. The farmer, more than any other producer, works with living creatures, both plants and animals. A farm should not becompared to a factory but to a fragile ecosystem. Humans, animals, plants, soil and climate — that's an important part of the whole — interact to form an orde , Playing ,roulette • - ■ ■ - - • - _ _ lawful system that needs to be People who substitute heat detectors for smoke detectors hoping they will provide an early alert in case of fire are playing Russion Roulette with their lives, warns Ontario Consumer Minister Dr. Robert Elgie. Dr. Elgie said his ministry has learned that some unscrupulous salespeople are using high pressure scare tac- tics to sell expensive heat detectors as complete fire protection for the home. "They are offering free demonstrations to show how heat detectors can save lives. They end the demonstration by showing tragic or gruesome pictures of a fami- ly that has just lost a loved one in a fire. At this point many people will buy heat detectors to prevent a similar tragedy from happening to their families." The heat detectors are be- ing sold door-to-door for $130 each. Smoke alarms can be bought for $15 to $25 each. Dr. Elgie said these salespeople are misrepresen- ting their product if they Say or imply that heat detectors guarantee life safety in houses. "This just isn't true. Heat detectors are not adequate substitutes for smoke alarms. Heat detectors react to heat rather than smoke, and usual- • ly take much longer to ac- tivate. By the time they do go off a family could be dead of smoke inhalation." Dr. Elgie said that detec- tors are commonly used in commercial and industrial buildings to minimize proper- ty damage due to fire and heat,and that smoke detectors have proven to be effective in providing an early warning of fire conditions in houses. There are two type of smoke detectors on the 'market: Ionization and photoelectric. Ionization type detectors are triggered by products of combusion gases, often before there is any other indication of f ire.Photoelectric detectors set off an alarm when smoke interferes with the flow of light to the unit. Units for home use include battery-operated, plug -ins and direct wired electrically powered models. The ministry has produced an information sheet and pamphlet about smoke detec- tors, their installation, opera- tion and maintenance.

Included will be 20 visitors from South Huron District High School. The students will sit in on regular lectures and take part in lab sessions. They will take notes, do experiments, ask questions and mix freely with UW students. According to Prof. Phil Eastman, one of the organizers of the visits, they are intended to "give the high school people an accurate im- pression of a typical day in the life of a UW science stu- dent." He says Waterloo has been operating its science day visiting program for 14 years during which time close to 43,000 Ontario high school students have had an oppor- tunity to spend a day on campus. Approximately 120 high schools from many parts of Ontario are participating in this year's program.

There's more, as I in- dicated above, but that is enough to explain why farmers are different and why they should be set aside by the rest of the sectors of the economy for special treatment. Agricultural economists have been saying for a few years that farmers cannot ex- pect the rest of society to keep them in business with sub sidies, stabilization plans, low-interest loans or whatever else is needed. It is comforting to know that the voices of the Chris- tian Farmers Federation, the provincialand federal federa- tions of agriculture, are being heard by senior levels of government these days. Many of the recommenda- tions on which these organiza- tions have worked so hard to articulate have been adopted by senior levels of govern- ment, sometimes even to the surprise of the farmers. To suggest that nothing should be done to preserve the family farm in this country is, in my humble opinion, next door to blasphemy. "In the beginning God created heaven and earth ..." Humans, Christ's co- workers, were given the task of preserving and developing creation, says Mr. Joldersma. And I say Amen to that. Birthday cakes also started with the ancients. Roman :. Emperor Hadrian sent cakes by special messengers to invited guests unable to attend his birthday 5f •1ti1I 1 titi EAVESTROUGH '."°""SIDING Ask About Our SAVINGS • Stelco Shutters • .
