The province will add another five per cent on to the federal plan, guaranteeing 95 per cent on all commodities. Ontario Agriculture Minister William Newman indicated he is trying to prod Ottawa to act. "It puts a certain obligation on Ot- tawa to come up to the 90 per cent level," he said. Mr. Newman said Federal Agriculture Minister Eugene Keith Roulston receives award Keith Ro lston of Blyth was the first recipient of an award do- nated by the Huron County Federation of Agriculture for outstanding contributions to agri- culture in the area. The presentation was made at the Federation's annual dinner and meeting last Thursday eve- ning. Mr. Roulston owns the Blyth Standard and Teeswater News. He also publishes the Village Squire and Rural Voice - Allan Walper. Parkhill was elected president for the new year Maurice Bean.

RR 1. Walton, Mrs. Doug Fortune, RR 1, WkWham and Lyle Pettipii n RR 1. Moekto . Whelan has told him he will cover up to 90 per cent on any com- modity which falls below this level. The federal legislation now covers only certain farm com- modities, but others may be added by cabinet order. Mr. Newman said in a state- ment outside the legislature, that if a commodity isn't covered to the 90 per cent level by the federal government, "the On- tario plan will provide payment equal to the difference between the 95 per cent level and the 90 per cent level". The government has cal- culated. Mr. Newman said, that on average the program should cost the province about too million a year, with the farmers contributing about f20 million The government will pay i2 for every fl of premium paid by a farmer on the provincial scheme. Farmers will have the option of paying into the provincial pro` gram or not. The majority of members on the commission ap- pointed to administer the pro- gram will be farmers. Mr. Newman said he had re- sponded to opposition demands to bring in new legislation rafter the defeat of farm income stabiliza- tion bill last June) to provide a voluntary, contributary plan covering all commodities. But NDP support for the new bill wasn't committed NDP leader Stephen Lewis said the province's refusal to guarantee the 90 per cent in its own program appears to leave "a gap so large that we will have to consider it very seriously." Liberal leader Stuart Smith said outside the legislature he was pleased with the new bill, and that it sonttled very much like Livwal farm pocky. ru WARD & UPTIGROVE Ostow*l 0 (5 19) 291-W40 CHARTERED ACCOUNTANTS Pride didn't get tothetop • byrunnau% ,I W pu Times change.
