By MRS. HEBER DAVIS
SAINTSBURY - The 127th anni-
versary service was held Sunday
morning at St. Patrick's in Saints -
bury with Rev. Beverly Wheeler in
charge.
Mrs. Wayne Carroll provided spe-
cial music, Mr. and Mrs. Ross
McFalls, Centralia, provided two
numbers, a singing duet, accompa-
-nied on the -guitar by Ross -Mary
Davis read the lessons.
Rev. Wheeler spoke to the chil-
dren on anniversaries, and showed
them to pictures, one a failure, be-
cause there was no light and the
'other turned out pLain with the
flash bulb. She compared that to
life, one with the light and the oth-
er life without light.
She took her text from the Gos-
pel of the day, St. John 3, Truly,
Truly, I say to you unless one is
born anew, he cannot see the King-
dom of God. Communion followed
at the close of the service.

Until the Freedom of Information
Act was passed by the Ontario leg-
islature, a section of the Municipal
Act dealt with access to municipal
information. But the section said
that every -other act dealing with in-
formation was to supersede the Mu-
nicipal Act.
Which effectively allowed most
information to be kept secret.
The access to information scction
of the Municipal Act was useless.
We now have another useless
piece of legislation before provin-
cial parliament: the so-called right -
to -farm act, now known as Bill 83.
Why is it useless? Because al-
most every other act supersedes it.
Any teeth it might have had have.
been removed by this section.
Any land use control laws, the
Environmental Protection Act, the
Pesticides Act, the health Protec-
tion and Promotion Act and the On-
tario Wat.r Resources Act will take
precedence over Bin 83, the Protec-
tion of Farm Practices Act.
Originally this act, tabled in De-
cember, was supposed to provide
protection for farmers so they could
continue fanning. It was supposed
to prevent them from becoming in-
volved in nuisance lawsuits. It was
turas are app,ac•afed by as T,oue. Eiaas Rd Elm, Ont N38 ?C J vi
supposed to keep thcm free to do
What they do best and that is to
grow food for the consumers of this
province, this country and,. some-
times, for much of the rest of the
world.
But the bill got watered down
somewhere between the time it was
first proposed and the first reading.
The bill will establish a board
which will - judge whether com-
plaints about noise, 'odor or dust
from normal farm practices arc jus-
tified.
The Ontario Federation of Agri-
culture wants revision. It wants
farmers to be charged undcr the new
bill before being charged under any
other law. And that seems eminent-
ly fair to me.
A case which precipitated much
of the discussion and criticism of
Bill 83 involved fruit producers Ivy
and Warren Saunders of Lincoln in
the Niagara Peninsula. They have
been charged und.;r the Environmen-
tal Protection Act for causing too
much noise.
The noise? Bird bangers. The
Saunders have used bird bangers on
their farm since they purch, sed it
23 years ago. They arc doing noth-
ing they haven't done for more than
two decades but urbanization has
reared its ugly head. Neighbors are
complaining about the noise of the
bird bangers yet, because the farm-
ers grow cherries and grapes, they
must use the bangers to scare birds
to they have a crop to harvest. The
noise disturbs the neighbors for
about 10 weeks of the year.
But the Saunders have been farm-
- ing for 23 years. Only 'now have
thcy beencharged under the envi-
ronmental act.
If they arc guilty, then all farmers
growing the same crops in the Nia-
gara Peninsula should be charged.
How can you grow a crop of
cherries without some method of
keeping the robins out of the trees?
The birds will spoil the crop in a
few days.
It makes you wonder. People in
the peninsula, the most important
tender fruit growing arca in all of
Canada, might just as well give up
farming and sell to the hungry de-
velopers.
Increasing government control
over farming operations could leave
many farmers wondering why the
hell they continue to farm.
They might just as well sell out
and let the country import all Its
food.
