The Goderich Signal-Star, 1987-06-03, Page 5GODERICH SIGNAL -STAR, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 3, 1987—PAGkd, 5 , 1n1 STi1 Trude get lost forever Dear Editor: The Conservative government has been. responsible for resurrecting shrugging and hands Pierre. Will he try to invoke the War Measures Act against the Conser- vatives for trying to lower the Nation deficit that he and his party created, and find a peaceful solution to be compatible with the provinces? Why didn't he continue his wanderings over the globe, and get lost someplace? He seems to have created a rift among the Liberals, and they'don't know whether to shrug or go blind. He claims to be wor- ried about Canada and the Meech Lake ac- cord.. Canada did very well before he arriv- ed, and I believe it will get along famously without him. There seems to be a certain element of - chaos in his personal life - is he trying to transfer this to the public? His actions this far are similar to those of Charles de Gaulle, who in my opinion was one of Canada's worst cesspool distributers. I believe shrugging Pierre's only con- cern for Canada remains •in the longest finger on his right hand which displayed his overpowering arrogance for the population of Canada. Can a leopard change its spots? I don't, think so. Sincerely, N:.I. Minaker Display needs donations Dear Editor: • I should like to address your readers through the medium of your column.

Yours truly, Pat King Goderich Police Chief • ' Fireworks Chairman for Goderich Agr ultural funding details are released by Jack Riddell Following requests from a- number of readers, here are more details of the new agricultural funding provided in the budget brought down• by Treasurer Bob Nixon recently. The budget sets aside a record $563 million for the Ministry of Agriculture and Food, a 72 per cent increase since the new provincial government was formed 22 months ago. Treasurer Nixon said low commodity prices, declining farm asset values and high debt loads are still squeez- ing Ontario's agricultural sector. The five new initiatives announced in the budget are- practical programs aimed at putting money into the pockets of the farmers that heed it and I feel that because of that credit and commodity price crunch, many farmers have been forced to let parts of their operation go unattended. Farm Management Safety and Repairs Program - will' provide $50 million to assist farmers with farm analysis and planning, farm safety, machinery' repairs and shop equip- ment and on-farm and grain storage. Farmers who gross at least .$12,000 per year can receive up to $2,500 in the. next 12 months. Land Stewardship Program will provide $40 million aver three years to encourage sound land • management practices by assisting farmers to restore soil productivity andeduce environmen- tal damage on productive as well 'as QUEEN'S PARK marginal farm land. OFFIRR Program - will continue • to provide. interest rate rebates to farmers at the full 100 per cent level, not 70 per cent as earlier announced. It applies to both short and long-term debt. Farm Tax Rebate Program - will be strengthened to provide an extra $18 million to inert use the level of rnunicipal tax rebate on farmland and agricultural buildings only from 60 per cent to 100 per cent. To further help the farmers, they will receive the rebates in two installments during the year, and they won't have to prepay their tax to qualify. Assistance Program - Will be continued for another five years to encourage even 'more young people to enter the field of food production. Original- ly; it was scheduled to end this year. Airport Grant My colleague Ed Fulton, Minister of Transportation and Communications, has recently announced funding to the Goderich Municipal Airport for their run- way design project. Total -estimated cost of the project is $40,000 of which the ministry will provide up to 75 per cent funding, or $30,000. nst t s of the year is n ggest Event Its f ri to 914 c•Iv1 14 Ont.
