Letter to Editor
Proud member of the OFA
Dear Editor:
For once of late it is refreshing
to be a proud member of the OFA.
In the last six months I have seen
quite a reversal in the attitude of
farmers. I have only been serious-
ly involved in the Federation for
about two years and far too many
times I have heard and seen farm-
ers just sitting home on their
hands, feeling sorry for them-
selves. How times and feelings
have changed!
In case you have been vacation-
ing on another planet for the last
while our world is in the midst of
GATT negotiations. Our Canadian
negotiators at the table have been
duped by Uncle Sam into believ-
ing that if we do not trade away
our Supply Management Systems
and allow cheaper, poorer quality
dairy, chicken and egg products
into our country we will put the
entire 108 country GATT deal at
risk. How can a country of 25 mil-
lion who produces only enough
milk, chicken, and eggs as it can
consume be seriously damaging to
world markets? The USA and
EEC machines and their staggering
grain subsidies are the ones who
have permanently damaged and
have cut the heart out of profitable
cash cropping for the last decade.
If the Canadian government
doesn't have enough sense to real-
ize this, then we the farmers have
to remind them. On Friday, Febru-
ary 21, 1992 a large rally of possi-
bly 30,000 Ontario and Quebec
farmers will meet in Ottawa on Par-
liament Hill to show our
support for Arti-
cle XI and to re-
mind our gov-
ernment to 11)
make good on its
promise to protect
Supply Manage-
ment at this round of negotiations.
And to you the consumer who be-
lieves you should be able to pur-
chase cheaper imported food prod-
ucts a few points to ponder:
1. The average Canadian sell
only spends 13 percent of his or her
disposable income on food. (second
cheapest in the world!)
2. The average Canadian has
gown accustomed to the best qual-
ity, inexpensive food in the world.
Thio is only possible through tre-
mendous gains in productivity and
efficiency of Canadian farmers
who want and deserve to make a
living.
3. Without dairy, chicken and
egg producers thousands of jobs in
spinoff industries such as process-
ing, trucking and retailing would
be lost.
4. A country without its farmers
and food source is a third world
country.
Any farmers out there who be-
lieves this won't effect them are
also sadly mistaken. Supply man-
aged industries have been the cor-
ner stone of profitable farming for
the last twenty years and have kept
most farm related businesses go-
ing. And just remember how thc
saying goes. If oncrend of thc ca-
noe sinks the other will eventually
sink too. Think about it!

Golden Glimpses
ZURICH - When you have the
persistence of someone such as Ev-
erett Haist, weather or whatever,
nothing can stop a?n important occa-
sion such as your 99th birthday par-
ty. We can all be envious of some-
one of his age having the memory
that he has. Despite the stormy
weather, a good number of people
from Dashwood and surrounding
area attended to help him celebrate.
I think we can all look forward to
celebrating his 100th next year.
On Monday evening, the monthly
birthday party was held for the
month of February with the Zurich
Women's Institute hosting the par-
ty. The program consisted of read-
ings by Margaret Munn and Ina
Neeb.
Residents having birthdays dur-
ing February are Margaret Adams,
Ethel Hess, Evereu Haist, Wm. Ra-
pier], Hazel Stebbins and Edward
Turnbull. Gifts were presented,
courtesy of the Ladies Auxiliary.
Refreshments were served follow-
ing the program.
On Tuesday morning, Margaret
Suplat's school children made their
monthly visit with their buddies. A
scavenger hunt was staged and both
children and residents had a great
time.
On Tuesday evening, the Ladies
Auxiliary held their regular meet-
ing which was the 25th anniversary
of service to the Home and resi-
dents. Jean Gingerich read a poem
"Heart Gifts" and the history of the
last 25 years was read by Mary Lou
Denommc. Grace Martin and Mary
Lou Erb favoured with piano and
organ duets.
Nine ladies who have been mem-
bers for the last 25 years were pre-
sented with roses by Meda O'Brien.
The regular weekly chapel service
was held on Thursday afternoon
with Rev. Sheila Macgregor of
Thames Road United Church con-
ducting the service. Beatrice Rader
presided at the organ.
Fr. Peter Hayes celebrated Mass
for his parishioners. Bingo was
