As you, the readers who are cattlemen are aware, there is an upcoming vote. The question is are you in favor of an organized marketing plan for cattle, o are you satisfied with the money .0 are reegyingTfor-yoUr cattle atPreient?i' , We, as businei4si; Sit !idly bk while the profit i101iars We receive decrease, and every input we need to purchase costs more. We must have more money! • Our rate of pay for our work con- tinues to decrease and the returns on our dollars invested:arenon- existent or marginal, at best. What other industry in Canada would produce billions of dollars worth of a product with no pian for sellingit, • • ers and only nine major buyers. -- Dear .se. F.clitar: I am writing in response to the article on Page 1 of the March 28 issue of The Advance -Times regarding wage and benefit adjust- ments for the emplaees of Turn - berry Township. First off, let me assure you that in • an employer-employee situation, people must be compensated for their efforts daily or no one will be successful in getting the job done. At the same time though, the tax- PaYeS.,-CahnP t Continue o bear these iliiititslict.cmickly As an aiistilot,ta*Ayt4Oti the, township, our taxes haveneatly doubled in two years and the level of services has not risen at all. There certainly is ample room fo price and market demand martipu lotion. • We, as producers, must have greater voice in what we receive for our product. The proposed Beef Marketing Commission will have representation from all segments o the industry, including the retailers : and the consumers. This represen- ' *ion is very important in light of the continued scarceness of foods which will likely increase in num- bers as we proceed through the 90s. The marketing commission con- cept does work. I point out to you the successful operation of the Apple Marketing Commission. Iiiin;also an apple producer and I can vouch for the fact that your voice is heard in the marketing place,:and that there are enough ractiOal exiniPtIO.ga- 4*, make .the arktjan sitork. The -working plan is developed by the elected directors upon the acceptance of the r marketing commission concept, I am not surprised by the totally negative campaign waged by the Ontario Cattlemen's Association. It indicates to me that they are com- pletely frustrated by knowing that what needs to be done to put more money in my pocket goes beyond the scope of a producer associate • What is called for is the formation of a grower marketing body with authority to enter the market place. Gentlemen, the question is do we make an attempt to put more money in our pockets? In the begin- ning, we are not asking the con- sumer to pay more. We will ask for our share of the dollar the con- sumer is now spending. Join with me in voting yes. Yes to a Beef Marketing Commission, yes to a future in the cattle industly ands, indeed, yes to change. Sincerely • • Laverne Robertson RR 2, Meaford i Writer states concerns about skiing safety Dear Editor: With winter almost past, I was thinking the other day of how much I have enjoyed cross-country skiing in the area, With the- EEdcotter Langside and other scenic trailKnearby, the peo- ple . of this area are fortunate indeed. Two things have Marred several otherwise pleasant family outings on the above named trails: 1. hunters, and 2, snowmobilers in the same area atthe sometime. I do not feel that these ate compatible uses. Does the Ministry of Natural Resources have responsibility for regulating this? Can something be done to ensure the safety of all by next winter? Does everyone else share these concerns?
