Organisation marks 30 years
Members of the Christian
Farmers Federation of On-
tario gathered in Guelph in
early December to reflect on
thirty years as a confessional
farm organ' zatton.
President 'form Oegema
told the 222 tamily farmers
present that "Those initial
steps in organic tL $ Christian
farmers thirty years ago
were steps of faith". Im-
migrants from the
Netherlands brought with
them a strong Christian faith
and a commitment "to love,
compassion, morality and
justice that needs a public and
concrete expression.'
O getna deplored that •'our
society has shifted religion in -

"Call us first you won't have to call anyone else"
to the domain of our private
lives and to Sunday church
services only." He urged the
Federation's members to in-
vite other Christians to
"share in giving expression to
the Bible's call for justice,
compassion and fairness in
public life and policy." He
noted that the Dutch im-
migrants of thirty years ago
have now become "Canadian
citizens - and proud of it!"
The Federation began at a
meeting in Strathroy, where
delegates from four local
associations met. A year later
11 associations joined the
federation and a tnembership
fee of 25 cents per farmJami-
ly per year had been
established.
The Federation now has 600
members and has 21 Associa-
tions scattered from the
Niagara Peninsula to the
Rainy River District, and
from Dundas to Kent County.
For 1985 the Federation
adopted a budget of $165,000
and the membership cost is
expected to be about $280.00.
Tom Oegema was re-
elected President.
Bill Jongejan, a 36 year-old
hog farmer from the
Goderich area in Huron Coun-
ty, was re-elected Vice -
President. It will also be
Jongejan's third year.

"When I go, I'm going to

said Canada's most famous

Lombardo.
He didn't take it with him,

blems going into 1985 that we
had a year ago.
Farmers are no better off:
in fact, most of them are
worse off. The so-called
economic recovery has not hit
the farm gate.
"Drop the last year into the
silent limbo of the past. Let it
go, for it wks imperfect, and
thank God it can go," said
Brooks Atkinson.
Do we expect too much in
this country? If the year was
imperfect, can we get closer
to perfection this year? We
are certainly far, far better
off than those thousands,
perhaps millions, of starving
people in Africa, especially in
Ethiopia. We are, in fact, far
better off than most other na-
tions of the world. But with
the natural resources and the
sparse population of Canada,
should we expect more than
we are getting?
"Year's end is neither an
end nor a beginning but a go-
ing on, with all the wisdom
that experience can instill in
us," said Hal Borland.
If only we could apply the
wisdom we have gained in
years past. So many of us live
lives of quiet desperation
making the same mistakes,
covering the same ground in
the same way, paying no at-
tention to what little wisdom
we may have gained.
Thomas Mann said: 'Time
has no divisions to mark its
passage. There is never a
thunderstorm or blare of
trumpets to announce the
beginning of a new year.
Even when a new century
begins, it is only we mortals
who ring bells and fire off
pistols" and get. drunk, 1
might add.
In my younger years, a
New Year's Eve party was a
highlight of the month. Older
and wiser in some ways, t -en-
joy an evening with a few
friends, usually some of our
family. The years slip by and
melt into a monotony of
figures with only a handful
remembered vividly.
"Now the New Year reviv-
ing old desires, the thoughtful
soul to solitude retires," said
Omar Khayyam in the
beautiful words of the
Rubaiyat.
A few moments alone to
reminisce, a few moments for
a lingering kiss, is about all
the excitement most of us
need. The ravages of time are -
catching up to this old crock
of a body and the stomach
rebels after a few convivial ,
drinks. Our physical bodies
keep telling us, as we grow
older, that we are not
immortal.
"Looking forward into an
empty year strikes one with a
certain awe, because one
finds no recognition. The
years behind have a friendly
aspect, and they are warmed
by the fires we have kindled,
and all their echoes are the
echoes of our own voices.".
said Alexander Smith.

1 don't know about you but
1 am approaching the new -
year with a great deal of
trepidation. I'm a little fear-
ful of what may be around (he
corner although I am hoping
it will not be a repeat of 1984.
Perhaps, the worm will turn
and 1 might even win a lot-
tery. Hope springs eternal in
the human breast
"Upon the chaste scroll of
the New Year, 1 would in-
scribe for you with hold and
flowing strokes. tyle Good

brush delineate''' the
ideaograph of laughter." said
Canadian poet Carol ('nates
Cassidy.
Ah, yes: laughter. the best
• medicine. A sense of humor
can change your life and
maybe Lady Luck will smile
upon us all in 1983
Let us join Lord Tennyson.
