example is the statue of the Pied

which serves to remind . its

'With a similar thought in

Under discussion will , be the purchasing of property to

the past to dominate the

Though New • Year's

one anyway:.:lEyes Jront and
forward. Stop looking back Ito
painful memories, . and look
forward to a new beginning.
When you drive past Mrs. Lot
and feel a twinge of sorrow for
her unfortunate condition, let it
be a stern 'reminder- of what can

the past instead of looking ahead
to the light at the end of the .

The C.F.F.'s 'policy
statement, adopted earlier ,this

situation caused by vertical
integration and recommends
that "immediate action be taken
to stop the growth and spread of
"vertical integration and to put
the family farmer ' on fair.
competitive' terms with the'
present integrators," and that
"in the future further, action
must be taken to break up the
integrators'. hold on some sectors
of agriculture."
