Canadian farmers from all across Canada
attending the 53rd Annual Meeting of the
Canadian Federation of Agriculture, have
reached consensus on a clear policy on
GATT negotiations for Canada's largest
farm organization.
A statement which will be sent to the
Ministers of Agriculture and International
Trade and to all Members of Parliament
should leave no doubt as to what Canadian
farmers would like achieved in the current
round of GATT negotiations.
The CFA supports the negotiations for im-
proved access for agricultural products. In
fact it recognizes they are crucial for the
health of some sectors. However, it says it
cannot accept any agreement that trades
the stability and security of one agricultural
sector for another.

Happy irthday.
In its statement, the CFA insists the goal
of the GATT negotiations on agriculture
should be to bring all countries into equal
conformity to clear and workable
agricultural trade rules.
"Equality must be created between
trading partners," says ton Knoerr, Presi-
dent of the Canadian Federation of
Agriculture. "That means equal eonformlty
to GA'I'T rules and equality in net benefits to
producers."
CFA does not support a general percen-
tage reduction of practices considered trade
distorting. This would do llttle to improve
the current trading situation and could very
well be disastrous for Canada. Countries
which provide significantly greater support
for the production of exported products
should be required to bring their support
down to a comparable level to Canada's
before they start making any reductions in
practices that may be considered trade
distorting.
The CFA recognizes the total elimination
of all agricultural support programs is
unrealistic and undesirable. However, it
also recognizes that unbridled susidization
leads to production in excess of market re-
quirements and the subsequent dumping of
products on the international market.
"The answer lies in the reduction and
elimination of direct export subsidies;
clearer and improved countervail and anti-
dumping rules; and the restraint elimina-
tion of the export of significantly subsidized
product," says Mr, Knoerr.
The statement developed by the CFA also
includes that:
• All access barriers should be brought into
conformity with clearly defined GATT
rules, This must be done over a reasonable
period of time.
Tariffs and levies should be set at a fined
and bound percentage or amount, and
should be subject to negotiation.
All exporting countries should have equal
opportunity to compete for the market that
is available.
• Clause 2c(i) of Article XI of the GATT
must be strengthened and clarified to en-
sure that supply management is clearly
defined, and that all processed products in-
tegral to the marketing of primary product
can be included in import controls.
The CFA is also calling for the Canadian
Restored CWH Lanco
(`Before we fly the Lancaster in the
Hamilton International Airshow, June 17
and 18", says Norm Etheridge, Chief
Engineer, " — it will be equipped to stan-
dards as good as any modern Airliner."
The timing couldn't be better, because the
Canadian Warplane Heritage Lancaster will
be involved this summer in its heaviest
flying -schedule since it "retired" from
RCAF in early 1964, as Lancaster Bomber
FM 213.
During the past few weeks, visitors to the
Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum at
Hamilton Airport in Mount Hope have seen
normal maintenance activity underway, but
"behind the scenes", Norm adds, "it's being
refitted to fly into the '90s." It's the one and
only Lancaster still flying in North
America, but, according to Norm
Etheridge, "state-of-the-art Avionics and

"We are convinced that by obtaining a
strong consensus on GATT policy, the CFA
will give the Government and our
negotiators a clear message as to the
domestic policies and programs that are im-
portant to us and which must not be com-
promised," says Mr. Knoerr. "We have also
established a good set of guidelines for
agricultural negotiations, an approach aim-
ed at establishing a fair and effective

that we should concentrate on establishing a
strong downtown business core," he said.
"The intention is not to limit competition
but rather keep the business area strong. If
nou, split the business area, you get
ustomer procrastination. They shop at a
store outside the business area and plan to
go downtown. However, this makes a second
stop, and quite often, their next stop will be
Goderich, London etc. and they will.pur-
chase that second stop item at their
convenience."

development. He added those businesses
would not detract business from the
downtown area, and would not mix retail
and service establishments.,
In his address to council, Mr. Seddon said
the project was not proposed to detract from
Seaforth's Main Street, but rather to
enhance Seaforth on the whole. •
He noted Mr. Hart has every intention of
promoting the Town of Seaforth as a shopp-
ing area, and despite being located in the
Township of McKillop has plans to call his •
development the Seaforth West Plaza. All
construction will be done with consideration
paid to the town's architechure and Mr.
Hart and his partners intend to retain
ownership of the properties in order to en-
sure they are maintained in a respectable
manner, and to have some control over the
marketing.
"We'.re operating with long term
marketing in mind. We want to promote this
as a regional shop centre, and hopefully pro-
mote Seaforth as a shopping area at the
same time - not Highway 8," said Mr,
Seddon.
"We're not kidding ourselves. We know
this is a big project and we have long term
marketing in mind. We are satisfied we can
do it."
Mr. Seddon relieved council's concerns
that the commercial development might
prove unsightly and detract from the town
itself, by reinforcing Mr. Hart's and his in-
tention to operate the development on a
lease -back arrangement.
"That way we ensure our interests are
protected. We need a bright, clean land-
scape as much as anybody. To us it's critical •
- as far as the dealership itself. John has to
make his livelihood here" he said.
"When we spend money to make this pro-
ject go, the last thing we want is for people
to be disappointed when they get here. If
they get here and are disappointed, then
we've blown our brains out."
Mr. Hart himself, had little more to add to
Mr. Seddon's comments, except to ensure
council that he intends to work with the local
merchants, and not against them.
"I would really like to get involved in
marketing together," he said, adding he
would be willing to become an associate
member of the BIA if possible, and get in-
volved in Main Street events and
promotions.
"In keeping with the concerns of the
downtown merchants who think this isn't in
their best interest - we think it is," added
Mr. Seddon.

team, the Midgets, have played, Neil has
had seven shut -outs.
Owners of pistols and revolvers are re-
quired by regulations to register those
firearms with police departments and while
the registration forms have not been receiv-
ed here, Chief of Police Helmer Snell has
received word that the registration must be
completed by June 1.
Seaforth and Clinton will try again to
break the deadlock, as Tuesday's game in
Stratford resulted in a five all overtime tie.
The nearly 2,500 fans who saw the game
were almost evenly divided, Clinton sup-
porters taking the seats on one aide of the
rink, arid Seaforth on the other. There may
be a better class of hockey played in other
leagues, but it couldn't be any more exciting
than the last period of this game. The Colts
were leading 4-1 at one time, but the
Beavers overcame the lead to go in front 5.4,
only to lose it to Clinton with just about two
minutes to go.
