Angela and Heather finished first EW poetry winners in Heritage Day contest 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.

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. are patients in the Wingham and District Hospital.
