That's an age-old question and I don't know if we can find the answer"e s"actly, but we'll have a lot of fun with this fail's 441 project. It will be an "egg"cellent opportunity for members to sharpen skills in buyman- ship, cooking techniques, good • nutrition, safe food handling practices and entertaining. We're certain that it will be "egg"citing. Have you ever deboned a chicken? •Have you ever made a souf- fle? oulfle? baked alaska? a quiche? Do you know the four func- tions of eggs? Do you know how to calculate the quantity of chicken needed for a recipe when purchasing? These questions only scratch the surface of what this project features. In order for this project to be a success, leaders are needed to pass this informa- tion on to the members.

Queensway News The residents and staff of Meat authority proposed BY STEPHANIE LEVESQUE With the aim of establishing a national meat authority, the National Farmers Union . (NFU), is holding and planning to hold meetings across Southern Ontario to gauge the feelings of farmerson the idea. The president of the NFU, Ted Strain of North Bat- tleford, Saskatchewan, is in the province in his capacity as a member of the Canadian Wheat Board. While here, he has attended the meetings in the area The meat authority proposed by the NFU would include all red meat, such as beef, pork, mutton and lamb. Strain said that with the present marketing board systems, each product is promoted on an individual basis. He suggests the national meat authority would promote all products equally, stating that the farmers have to "live with one another, not off one another". Strain said a model for the national meat authority could be the Canadian Dairy Commission which has some control over exports, 'im- ports and supply management. Supply management would be a large role of the proposed national meat authority. Marie Bright of Campbelford, Ontario, regional co-ordinator for the NFU, said the setting up of an authority depends on the willingness of farmers to be regulated. "The key thing is whether or not they (farmers) accept supply management," said Bright. To get the ball rolling, the NFU is holding various meetings for its members across the province. Meetings have been held in Renfrew County, the Kingston area with 95 to 96 percent of those in at- tendance in favor of the proposal. A meeting in Mitchell on July 7, covering Huron, Perth and Oxford counties, had 35 to 40 people in attendance, with about 80 per cent in favor of the proposed national meat authority. Meetings are also proposed for the London - Chatham area, the Peter borough area ax d the Cookstown -Barrie area: At the meetings, questionnaires are passed out concerning the proposal. The information gathered is used by the NFU to gauge the opinions of the farmers. On July 27 and 28, a membership meeting is being held at the Arboretum Centre at the University of Guelph and follow-up plans will come out of that meeting. Strain emphasized that just approving a national meat -authority would not be enough, rather it would have to be legislated through an act of parliament. Strain said rather than having changes made to present legislation, new legislation should be put in place. The NFU president said the federal government would have complete control over regulations with delegates appointed from the provinces. Bright said farmers would have to be vocal on the regulations developed through the legislative act. "They can't sit back on their butts and let someone else do the work," said the regional co-ordinator. She said farm organizations along with the government would have to set out the terms and con- ditions of the legislative act. Bright and Strain said if the government were unsure of the opinion of the farmers a plebescite could be held throughout the country. Just in the early stages of the NFU proposal, Strain recited a verse, "the longest journey begins with the first step". Smile Be careful about lending money to a friend.
