The federation director said Ontario must initiate loan programs "to_ keep us competitive with sister provinces". He saidwhile farmers in the EuroPean Common Market countries can borrow money at three percent interest rates, and many'" established . farmers in Ontario have outstanding loans at five percent interest, "we are asking our young people to get into agriculture and pay 12-15 percent interest rates." Paul Klapp, a member of the, federation's energy committee, outlined some of the increasing uses of energy ,in today's farming operations. / stuckin the middle - My mother likes going to the movies, but today's selection, of films just isn't her style. She's not interested in nude scenes, violence,. swearing or sad• tales. The romances and the musicals- of her youth are a rarity these days, but I thought The Electric Horesman would be afilm she'denjoy. I had planned to take her to see the Robert Redford (she likes him) and Jane Fonda flick but I'm gladl didn't. The movie -itself was a_nice Adult Entertainment story, but the audience should have been restricted. Five boys in the audience at the Sunday night showing completely ruined the film. Fortunately I had seen The Electric Horseman before so at least I knew what was being said, even if I couldn't hear it. but pointed out "food production has gone up in comparison to the fuel ratio used." He said food producers feel strongly that "farmers must be kept in the _.number one priority in regards to fuel supply. The small amount of fuel used • to produce food for this entire country, as well as others, must be available at affordable prices," he told the mem- bers of parliament. - Mr. Klopp said his committee is undertaking.. a survey in Huron County regarding the energy use of different farm operations. He said the com- mittee_hopes survey results will allow them to compare the amount of energy used to produce products the most efficient way: Now I -don't mind some whispering . and the rattling of candy bags during a movie, but I -1 can't tolerate rudeness. Rudeness is only a mild description of what I thought of those five clowns. From the opening credits to the end of the -- movie these ' grown men, threw candy; rolled bottles under the seats, belched, swore, talked and laughed out loud while 'the rest of ► the audience tried to listen and watch the film. I should have asked for my money back and left the theatre. I could have seen the same film in the city with a quiet "adult" audience but I reluctantly stayed. _Repeated stares at the noisy group did no good and in a last desperate moment, . I yelled at them to"be quiet. I don't appreciate having to yell at some clowns in the theatre and I don't like the idea of having to leave the theatre. The noisy people should have been the ones 'asked to leave, without their money refunded. To think, I was going to take my mother to see that film. She would have left rather than waste $3.50 listening to belching and swearing. People worry about the number ,of 'restricted shows that shown today, but it seems that even films .desginated as Adult Entertainment are not suitable. I'Il stick to the Restricted movies myself, at least that keeps noisy "juveniles" out of theatres that seem to have little management supervision.

Mr. Van Beers' said there are again rumours that the Saturday delivery is going to be curtailed. He told the • members. of parliament -that a farmer often receives important business mail 3n a Saturday "whiCF gives -him the weekend to deal with it: time which wouldpot be available on_Mondays." • "The government has removed passenger train services from rural communities and bus service is practically useless. Now our rural mail service is being diminished. It would appear that the federal government is trying to increase the isolation of rural Canada. Maybe the government is hoping that if they just close their eyes, the rural areas might disappear altogether," Mr. Van Beers told the politicians.
