Secretary -treasurer Bill Wolfe• spoke about his organization at the May 6 meeting of the Huron County Federation of Agriculture. Mr. Wolfe (of the Dole button area) disconnected the CFSA from a group known as the vigilantes and while his group has received support from the executive directors of the Ontario Federation •of Agriculture, the association is not part of the OFA. Describing himself as a free enterpriser, Mr, Wolfe said he is "not a radical". "It's the last thing I said I'd ever do," said Mr. Wolfe about his involvement with the association. The reason for the association? There are two reasons why farmers band together in such an association according to Mr. Tide„New Balance 420 can. claim a distinction no other running -shoe can.

"We can't do anything about commodity prices - there are commodity groups," said Mr. Wolfe, He added the association sup- ports those groups. But the association does try to do something about high . interest rates. Mr, Wolfe said they have been to Ottawa twice, meeting with all three caucuses, in London to meet with agriculture minister. Eugene Whalen, have met twice with Ontario's deputy agriculture minister Duncan Alien an they have had one meetinif, with provincial agriculture minister Dennis Tlmbrel. They have also talked with representatives of Canada's five major banks, including one president. "We've covered our bases - told our story," said Mr. Wolfe. "We're going to find out if we live in a democracy or a police state". CFSA is asking govern- ment for a moratorium, a freeze on loan payments, and massive amounts of low interest rate farm credit money. Also a request has gone in for government to re- instate, the Farmers' 'and Creditors' Act used during the 1930s, which would re- adjust a farmer's debt to his cash flow, Vex .severe ,Caine. of financial difficulty, the association is asking for the re -introduction of a concept whereby the government buys the land and leases it to the farmer for 10 ,years. Forgiveness of loans is 'also suggested by the association, Mr. Wolfe cited cases where the association has stepped in and helped far-, niers. The main thing, he said Is to get the farmer and. banker talking again towards a solution. It's pretty •wild in his part of - the country, he said, in Grey and Bruce counties.' Many farmers are under severe financial pressure. At one meeting of about 140 people, 25 percent did not have enough money to plant a crop this year. Farmers in trouble call the - association, and Mr. Wolfe ' said the first question he usually asks, is if the farmer has a lawyer and ac- countant. Speaking on support from the. com- munity, he said the Owen Sound hospital has offered Itssychiatric guidance services, Times are tough, and Mr. Wolfe said while the association's requests to governments may not solve all the problems in the world, "we've got to put some little bandaids on." Check your fireworks With the May 24th weekend coming up, local police are asking for the public's cooperation regarding fireworks. F-ireworks are not permitted except on your own property (or with permission on another person's property). Children are only allowed to setoff fireworks under adult supervision. And you must be at least 16 years of age to purchase fireworks. Certain kinds of fireworks from the United States are illegal in Canada (all the ones sold in stores here are legal).

They -should -not normally be used in town and the .owners should be at least 16 years of age. ******************** ELM HAVEN MOTOR HOTEL Highway No. S West, Clinton SALES & SERVICE 4 THE HOUARE, GODERICH 524-2a22 we honor Visa and Mastereherge sf This Mark P/ Mustang fighter, built for the U.S. Air Force in 1944 received a new paint job at Sky Harbor Refinishing before being flown to the Canadian Warbirds Heritage Museum In Mount Hope Thursday.

(Photo by Dave Sykes) Repainted fighter flies home With a takeoff reminiscent of thousands performed during the later stages of World War II, a Mark IV Mustang fighter left Goderich Airport for the Canadian Warbirds Heritage Museum in Mount Hope Thursday. Sporting a brand new paint job from Sky Harbor Refinishing, pilot and museum president, Dennis Bradley steered the plane home. The Mustang was built for the United States Air Force in .1944 and a number of the planes were sold to Canada the following year. The. fighter was repainted in the colors of the • reserve squadron of the city of Hamilton, 1947. Similar squadrons existed in London, Winnipeg and other points west. It took a' month and a half to repaint the Mustang, a plane that can be seen in airshows in Canada and the United States.
