But there are those in. this vale of tears who need those New Year's I ,• wishes,. • Such as Eugene Whelan who seems to have lost much clout With his cabinet colleagues these days. His profile, ugly as it is, has become lowei and lower since he openly admitted he has aspirations to become leader of the federal He sorely needs sorrie support in the cabinet and the caucus so that he can again become the champion for farmers across this vast nation. A couple of elections back, he was given efecfit for returning a large number of Liberals to Parliament. Be stumped the hustings for Pierre to the point of exhaustion, almost to the detriment of his own ridieg; Farics is a strange business. From the top or me influence ladder to the bottom is such a short distance that Whelan must be getting discouraged. So, for agminister Eugene -Whelan, let us wish for a return to power within the Liberal cabinet. If this cannot come, then may he get that important position with the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization some people say he covets. I cannot do anything else but wish him well wherever he Ire has been a charapioil for farmers and deserves much credit. While we're at it, can we hope for a reprieve for CanFarm? A couple of million dollars has been granted to this struggling organization which already owes about 14 million. In spite of Peter Hannarri's efforts to get the service going, it still lacks the 10,000 subscribers needed to make it self-sufficient, I'M COBVilteed it 1$ worthwhile but, apparently, not enough farmers are convinced and the service may die a natural death. Maybe it was an idea ahead of its time. Unquestionably, the day will come when all successful farmers will need computers for the various time consuming jobs now done at home. But were farmers in Canada ready for it now? Let us, then wish for a satisfactory solution to the CanFarm problem in 1981. Speaking of Hannam. one cannot forget the federation of agriculture. 'This- once -dying organization has had tremendous success in recent years in revitalizing the entire farm community. Men such as Gordon Hill, Peter Hannam and Ralph Barrie have shown great leadership qualities in making the OFA a truly fine organization. If that study mentioned above is correct -- and I have no reason to doubt it -- then farm women are putting in the hours of two, full-time jobs and not getting a salary for either'one of them. It iscertainly time that farmers will be able to claim *ages Paid to their spouses for farm work as an expense on inconte taxeskis just too bad these claims could not have been charged years ago And it is thne, too, that the allada Pension Plan was changed to allow farm women to contribute and receive benefits when they reach 65, I hope this organization of farm women will continue to be successful. I hope they get swarriped with member- ships. I hope their members take their jobs seriously enough to challenge every top agricultural position in, this country, especially some of those senior government H & N DAIRY SYSTEMS LTD.

There are a variety of lighting types available: INCANDESCENT These are generally mounted on a yard pole. Long life incandescent lamps which last about 5 times longer than standard lamps give only 807cof the light, but use an equal amount of energy. MERCURY VAPOR Mercury Vapor lamps provide twice the illumination for the same energy as incandescent. LOW PRESSURE SODIUM These lamps provide more light and are more efficient than either incandescent or mercury vapor. The fixtures and lamps cost slightly more than mercury vapor. but the difference can be recouped through decreased energy consu m pt ion . HIGH PRESSURE SODIUM High Pressure Sodium is similar to Low Pressure Sodium. but produce less color change and provide more illumination. They must be rdounted higher than other fixtures Comparison of lamp life in yard lighting; Lamp Watts Lumens Life incandescent (Standard) 200 3900 1000 hrs.
