PIONEER LIFE
Travelling through the rain
and snow,
With the wind howling and to
blow,
Pioneers trying very hard,
With any rivers that did flow.
Stopping at, places to make
camp,
To sleep on the ground which
was damp,
Rising early to start again,
Darkness, except an oil
lamp.
Trees Were cleared and they
plowed the land,
With seeds being planted .by
Trere add tiriurld ioa`�
The doors were bolted from
the bands. •
Students
question
Continued from Front Page
claimed that unlike the PC
government in 'Ontario the
NDP diversified the
Saskatchewan economy.
"The average person in
Saskatchewan pays the
lowest provindial taxes in
Canada. Ontario ranks
second highest."
"Over the.past five years
Saskatchewan has had the
nation's lowest unemploy-
ment rate. Ontario ranks
fourth and is falling."
Mr. McQuail also outlined
the importance of a strong
farm and food system in
Ontario. "We have three
objectives: The protection of
our agricultural resource;
the promotion of local self-
reliance; the promotion of
food self-sufficiency through
import replacement."
He said an NDP govern-
ment would establish an
agricultural land : reserve,
which would limit urban
expansion onto farmland,
and a foodland trust, to
acquire farm land held by
provincial and federal
agencies and return it to
farm use.
Public
meeting
Continued from Front Page
a later date.
However following
passage and circulation of
the zoning bylaw, council
faced more than 30 ob-
jections and began the long
process of resolving them.
Over the next two years the
objections were reduced to
two which would require an
Ontario Municipal Board
hearing,
The matter was allowed to
lapse until last year, when
the hearing finally was
scheduled, but it could not
proceed until the plan and
the bylaw were brought into
conformity.
Although the proposed
amendment Is not likely to
be controversial, a 'public
meeting is required before
any amealdment to an of-
ficial plan can be approved,
Mr. Davidson explained.
Women made the meals and
baked bread,
The cold winter days were a
dread,
Men were found working in
fields,
In the night the Bible was
read.
These people used the nature
well,
Teachers and preachers
rang the bell,
Pioneers taught us a great
deal,
Our ancestors had lots to tell.

.:{Nide,
On the ocean tide;
To discover a new land,
To take into hand.
The land was vast,
Made by the past,
Made of lakes and streams,
Trees and dreams.
They came to the new place,
To settle andmake pace.
They built their homes,
And caught the animals that
did roam. -
Fish and trees,
Furs and more of these,
Became the pioneer theme,
And was their dream.
They cleared the land,
By axe in hand,
To make a home,
And free to roam.
The time has past so very
fast,
Horizons are vast,
The pioneers are gone,
And now the present has
dawned.

Candidate calls for
action on agriculture
Ontario farmers are facing
serious problems and it will
take a clear commitment by
the provincial government to
help, the agricultural com-
munity survive, Huron -
Bruce NDP candidate Tony
McQuail said in a'statement
released on the weekend.
Foreign investment and
land speculation are driving
the price of farm land out of
reach of young farmers,
while high interest rates,
input costs and low com-
modity prices are pushing
many farmers toward bank-
ruptcy, he warned.
"Ontario needs a secure
food supply based on its farm
land. Its farmers need to get
a fair return for their efforts.
They need help to deal with
predatory supermarkets and
absentee foreign investors.
If present trends continue,
our sons and daughters could
be tenant fanners for ab-
sentee landlords within a
generation."
He said Ontario New
Democrats would institute a
land bank system patterned
on the one created by the
NDP in Saskatchewan to
help young farmems get
started, and . would create
markets for Ontario -grown
goods by rebuilding the food
processing industry and
requiring supermarkets to
stock avaikable Ontario
produce.
He also promised low-cost
loans for land, farm equip-
ment and supplies to keep
Ontario farmers competitive
with those in other provin-
ces.
