Home My WebLink AboutThe Goderich Signal-Star, 1987-10-14, Page 5��II110I1 Goderich Laetown needs more members Dear Sir, May I use your column to draw attention to a very real problem the Goderich Laketown Band is having. The Band's membership has declined drastically lately. At last Monday's rehearsal, we had only 10 members out and unfortunately that is typical. We know there are lots of musicians capable of helping. To students, we can of- fer an excellent instrument and the oppor- tunity to broaden their musical skills. The encouragement of teachers is appreciated and their pupils will benefit. To ex -students, we can offer the opportunity to carry on in a music atmosphere different from the usual classroom atmosphere. There may be other newcomers to town, former members or would-be members. We can offer teaching and LETTERS for those needing it. So, ifyou are interested or even think you might be, we would like to see you when we practices resume October 19 at 7 p.m. at GDCI. It is my hope that the Band will carry on through the present "dry" spell but the sur- vival is in the hands of the cornrrununity at large. World Food Day brings world hunger to forefront Dear Editor, October 16 is World Food Day. It is celebrated yearly in commemoration of the founding, 42 years ago, of the United Na- tions Food and Agriculture Organization I.F.A.O.) in .Quebec City. Over 147 countries around the world com- memorate World Food Day by reflecting.dh the importance of global hunger and food problems. The Ontario World Food Day Co- Ordinating Committee is a coalition of voluntary and private sector organizations and government agencies, such , as UNICEF, Red Cross ..and the Ontario Federation of Agriculture. This year the Ontario World Food Day Co- Ordinating Committee wishes ..to focus on the futureof food production technology and the role of the small-scale food producers. • Canadians have an efficient food- proaueing inuust.ry anu enougn money to import vast volumes and varieties of food which are not produced in Canada. In con- trast, many parts of the world suffers food shortages, black market prices and starva- tion. Civil wars rage because poor men and women are fighting for land reform:and the right to produce food on their own acre or There is no simple answer to these pro- blems. Canada is a itelatively young nation with a stable government. It is a rich nation blessed with resources which are the envy of most other countries. Canada is highly in- dustrialized and new technology has been Thank -you, Sincerely, Jim Peters, Past President widely applied in farming. But many Cana- dian farmers today are in serious economic difficulty, an easy fact to overlook in rela- tion to the world's other agricultural problems. Many Canadian farmers in 1987 are worse off than they were in 1983, caught in a v'cious cost -price squeeze, the result of a damaging grain trade war between the U.S. and the countries of the European Economic Community. U.S. and E.E.C. farmers are highly subsidized. Ironically, it is our largest and most productive farmers who are suffering the most. The Canadian government has developed programs to help keep them in production because it would be a major disaster if our main food production'base is seriously eroded. We are not in danger of experiencing food shortages today, but it's not impossible in the future.. Through increased awareness and efforts to address the situation, it is still possible for the world to feed itself and for our farmers to have a decent standard of living. World Food Day on October 16 brings these issues to the forefront; a solution to food production and world hunger must be found; our international survival depends on -it:- • -- -- - Sincerely yours, Marilyn J.
