Northcrest folk are busy
losidonts move into new wing
We have finally moved in-
to the new wing on the nurs-
ing floor of our addition at
Queensway Nursing Home.
There is still some work to be
done throughout the building
but it certainly is a good feel-
ing to be this far.
We are pleased to welcome
new residents to Queensway.
They are Lily Waghorn
formerly of Kippen, -Ida
Jackson from Hensall, Cecil
Jones from Exeter, Grace
Dinney, Exeter and `Asa
Deeves from Hensall. We are

vice was conducted by Mrs.

Beautiful sounds of music
were in the air on Friday
afternoon as residents got
together for a sing song.

was enjoyed by the residents
who were out for walks.
United Church
There was a good atten-
dance at the United Church on
Sunday when the
Presbyterian congregation
along with visitors joined with
the United Church for wor-
ship. Donald Stebbins greeted
the congregation and Tim and
Mark Brock were the ushers.
Ken Scott and his daughter,
Christie, brought special
music to the worship which
was appreciated by the
congregation.
Mr. McDonald spoke on the
subject of "One Rainbow
through our Clouds". Alt of us
face clouds of sorrow,
discouragement and stress,
but the rainbow is a symbol of
God's Covenant with man. He
said God's rainbow of hope
shine brightest against the
dark clouds of Calvary, Christ
is God's rainbow and God's
victory at Calvary is the
assurance that through any
storm there is shining in all
the colours of the rainbow his
faithfulness, his mercy and
presence.
Next Sunday will be bap-
tismal Sunday and Carol
Woodward of Exeter will be
the guest soloist.

By Jack Riddell MPP
In late July, provincial
agriculture ministers from
across the country met in
Winnipeg to discuss the
establishment of a Tripartite
Stabilization Program for
Canadian farmers. However,
little progress has been made
in this connection.
A statement released by the
Opposition Party indicated
that "Another provincial
agriculture ministers' con-
ference has come and gone
and while producers are
worse off financially than
they were last year, we are no
further ahead on the introduc-
tion of a Tripartite Stabiliza-
tion Program for Ontario and
Canadian farmers. We can
kiss the introduction of a
stabilization plan goodbye for
yet another year."
As recently as the 8th July,
1984, in response to a question
by myself, the Minster of
Agriculture stated: "We can
and will finalize the agree-
ment at the July 23, 24 and 25
Meeting of the Ministers of
Agriculture." y
To quote the statement once
again, "Ontario farmers have
now had two and one half
years of excuses from Dennis
Timbrell as to his inability to
provide financial assistance
to red nproducers caught
in the o g farm financial
squeeze, on the basis that it
would jeopardize an illusory
Tripartite Stabilization pro-
gram. As the Winnipeg
agriculture conference passes
into history, the Minister has
once again come up empty
handed."
The statement continues
"The so-called support for a
stabilization program which
Mr Timbrell speaks of is
nothing more than a PR exer-
cise. No other province has
agreed to the principle of
stabilization than the original
four (Saskatchewan,
Manitoba, Alberta and On-
tario) which had agreed to
negotiate last year.
Moreover, any program is to
be subject to still further
negotiations and changes, and
will not be retroactive.
Because of the shenanigans of
Mr. Timbretl's federal
cousins which prevented the
amendment to the
Agriculture Stabilization Act
(Bill 50) to get beyond the
first reading before the elec-
tion was called, the federal'
Minister of Agriculture has
agreed to re -introduce the
enabling legislation in the
Fall session of Parliament.

Situation bleak
"Ontario farmers are again
left out in the cold and must
continue to compete with
farmers who are the
beneficiaries of the generous
agricultural support pro-
grams of other provinces.
"While Mr. Timbrell
speaks about the farm finan-
cial responsibility of the
federal government, he has
no solutions to offer of his
own. He continues to blame
Ottawa and shirks his own
responsibilities by refusing to
provide the programs
necessary to maintain a farm
industry in this Province.
Stabilization is the only solu-
tion which he has dangled
before our farmers to address
their present economic
problems.
"Our producers need
assistance now to keep them
in production. They can no
longer wait for a yet to
materialize Tripartite
Stabilization Program.
"On June 19, the Minister
told us in the Legislature that
he did not want to let down the
red meat industry. Ile must
take the necessary steps now
through emergency financial
assistance to alleviate the dif-
ficulties which our farmers
are experiencing.
"This farce has gone on
long enough. The Minister
must now stand and deliver."
Pursuing the matter in the
Legislature 1 stated that On-
tario government inaction
threatens survival of our red
meat industry. Financial
assistance is urgently needed,
yet no emergency aid was for-
thcoming in the May budget.
The government has failed
producers due to its preoc-
cupation with proposed
federal/provincial tripartite
program. Two years have
been wasted and the situation
has worsened.
The government showed its
true colours when it rejected
our call last October for an
emergency debate.
Moreover, it has now an-
nounced the imposition on
beef producers of a
marketing plan without either
legislative debate or prior
consultation with producers.
The government has failed
to address the central pro-
blem of high capital and
operating costs which are
combined with low commodi-
ty prices due to a decrease in
consumer demand, a surplus
of production and U S
imports.
As recently as 1980, the
JOIN THE CROWD
BE A REGULAR
BLOOD DONOR
government told farmers to
modernize and expand their
operations, yet many farmers
who heeded the government's
advice are now worse off than
ever before.
The situation will remain
bleak as long a producers are
forced to compete with
Western Canada and Quebec
with their heavy government
subsidies.
