Angy Crowe Exeter "Yes, because with the current economic times, it will save some people money that they can use elsewhere other than a down payment" Ed House Kirkton "No. If you only have 5% down on your mortgage it will mean that much more when the interest rates go back up. You may be looking at losing your house" .4 Mickie Struyke Exeter "No, I wouldn't look at buying a house right now with only 5% down be- cause of what may hap- pen in the future - higher interest rates" 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!

I think we can all look forward to celebrating his 100th next year.
