Free trade a 10 the past few months free trade has become a major issue in the farm community. So says Dr. Maurice Foster, liberal MP for the federal Ontario riding of Algoma, and chairman of his party's agricultural task force currently covering' Ontario. In W ingham on January30, Dr. Foster and two other members of the task force, Senator Dan Hays of Alberta and MP Ray Garneau of Quebec heard 16 presentations from various sectors of the farm community. "W hen we started, free trade was not a big issue," said Dr, Foster. The task force started in November of last year. He said the poultry and dairy commodities, with their marketing agencies, are more fearful of free trade negotiations than are some farmers from other commodity groups. "I'm not convinced free trade will provide the climate many politicians and academics perceive will exist," said W ayne Robertson, president of the Bruce County federation of agriculture. The Grey County federation of agriculture pointed out in its brief it is difficult for Canadian farmers to compete in the market- place with their American counterparts, That federation says some of the reasons are higher fuel costs in Canada, restrictions on chemical and drug use, a shorter growing season and lower government subsidies. "In a country that has spent billions on energy self-sufficiency, are we going to allow ourselves to become dependent on others for food?" asked the Grey County federation. However, tree trade was not the only major issue which agriculture groups brought to the attention of the task force. One member of a concerned farm women's major issue for farmers group said the agriculture community Is facing a "terrible burden of debt." The county federations of agriculture, including Huron's focused on debt review boards as part of the solution to the bleak economic outlook facing many fanners They also called for higher prices for the products produced by farmers. I question the rights of consumers to have as much say as they are having," said Carl Spencer, president of the Grey County federation, Dr. Foster said one of the most surprising discussions that came out of the W Ingham hearings was the focus put on Noll erosion. A presentation from the Huron soil and water conservation district was the first such brief heard by the task force, "That probably reflects the problem in this area," commented Dr, Foster, The conservation district's representative, Jane Sadler -Richards, said Soil conservation needs lots of resource people, suchas there are at the University of Guelph, A more. flexible Farm Credit Corporation, (FCC), particularly in dealing with farm loan write-downs was Ane of the requests from just about every agriculture sector. The Huron County federation pointed out some banks allow it for some people, but the FCC doesn't do any write-downs. The task force .also heard from two cattleman's groups that have different views than the provincial organization which they are part of, Dr. Foster said it came through loud and clear that Bruce and Grey cattlemen are in favor of supply management Dr. Foster said the task force will use the information from briefs at the federal Liberals policy conference to he held in Ottawa in late November. The Wingham hearing was definitely the largest to date, said the task force chairman There will be a total of 40 hearings across Canada and af ter starting in the west last fall, the task force is now moving through Ontario and plans to go on to Quebec and Atlantic Canada.

So efforts by the Huron County Health Unit to arrange a program to help people kick the habit will be good news to smokers who want to beat their addiction. The program is organized by Sheryl Gilbert of The Health Unit and starts February 27 in the Seaforth Community Hospital conference room. It consists of four evenings and a follow-up evening in April. Guest speakers, films, self-awareness activities, and peer support will form the basis of the program. In past programs, presentations by ex-smokers who have successfully quit for a year or longer have been excellent motivators for course partici- pants. The program has been based on two others developed by other health organizations. The Porcupine Health Unit in Timmins and the Lambton County Interagency Council on Smoking provided some of the basis for the course with the Lambton agency claiming a 60 per cent success rate. Past Huron County programs have realized a 35 to 40 per cent success. However, the Health Unit employee notes, "if they're (participants)are not motivated to quit, nothing the course can do will make themquil.It's like fitness. Somebody can tell you to get fit. but if you're not motivated...." Sirnilar programs have been held in other areas in Huron County and "the evaluations were pretty positive at the end," she noted.
