Federation seeks more suppor
If you are concerned about the farm credit
situation, or interested in agricultural sub-
jects being taught in the schools, then the
Huron County Federation of Agriculture is
looking for your support.
This week, November 12 to 16, the Federa-
tion is holding # driv6 to increase its
membership so it can lobby more effective-
ly for the farming community.
In recent years, theOntario Federation of
Agriculture has been instrumental in per-
suading the government to require foreign
landowners to register their holdings;
established the 60 per cent land tax rebate;
adapted the small business development
bond for agricultural use; passed a new and
better trespass act, and line fences act;
reduced rates for farm truck licenses; and
promoted several capital grant programs.
"Several services are available to
members," says Doug Garniss, the newly
elected president of the Huron Federation.
"There is medical insurance, farm family
group life insurance and personal om-
budsman assistance available."
With the help of new members, the
Federation will be lobbying in the future for
the abolition of capital gains tax, agribonds,
"improvement in the farm credit situation,
freedom from harassment from non-farm
groups, a policy for wetlands that will pro-
tect farm interests, and promotion of
agricultural education in the schools.
Farmers participating in the membership drive for the Huron County Federation of
Agriculture in this area include,from left, Tony McQuail, Stan Mcllwain and Gordon Hill.
Throne speech addresses farm issues
OFA generally pleased by
BY STEPHANIE LEVESQUE
While "generally pleased"— with the
Throne Speech last week, Ontario
Federation of Agriculture Harry. Pelissero
called the disbanding of Canagrex
"shortsighted".
Mr. Pelissero was in McKillop Township
on Friday afternoon helping the Huron
Counting Federation of Agriculture on a
membership drive. Later in the evening he
spoke at a banquet in the county.
The OFA president said Canagrex only got
started earlier this year and disbanding it
now by the Brian Mulroney government is
not giving the crown corporation a fair

chance.
Canagrex was established , to asAist
farmers in selling Canadian agriculture
products to foreign markets.
Mr. Pelissero said it takes time to
establish contacts, but Canagrex has run out
of time.
He noted ' that the big item touted by
farmers in the election campaign was the
removal of capital gains- tax. The federal
governmenthas referred this to a
committee.
The OFA president was pleased with the
government action to remove the federal
farm fuel tax. He was also happy that
federal agriculture minister John Wise has

announced a freeze on Farm Credit
Corporation's power of sale.
Mr. pelissero said the OFA had presented
11 issues in the summer election and the
government has talked about seven of them.
He encouraged OFA members to turn
their attention to the provincial scene where
a leadership convention is drawing near.
Mr. Pelissero said he would be asking the
farmers he would be visiting in the
afternoon to join the OFA because of the
common voice it gives farmers. He would
also touch on other benefits such as -an
insurance program and the farm machinery
agency.

The reeve and clerk were authorized to
sign, on behalf of the Township of Colborne,
the fire agreement witp the municipalities
of Town of Goderich and Township of
Goderich.
The clerk reported that because origiriai
word count per page given for the new
Huron County Atlas was inaccurate, that it
had been necessary to edit and delete appox-
imately one third of the township's original
submitted material. As well, some pictures
were deleted due to poor reproduction
results. The Huron County Atlas editorial
staff is to supply a "proof print" to allow
township representatives to check for com-
pleteness and continuity before final prin-
ting. This does not involve individual's sub-
missions - only material prepared for the
two pages purchased by the township.
In further business, council approved a
$25 donation to the Salvation Army to assist
in their 1985 program.
Current business dealt with, council ad-
journed until the next regular meeting date
of Noverhber 20.
