HURON'EXPOSITOR, 5EAFORTH, ONT., NOV. 26, 1970 Liberal Policy Conference Adopts Farm Program for the Seventies a Canadian farm policy should be designed to (a) provide an abundance of high quality food for the Canadian consumer (b) main- tain an industry that is competit- ive in domestic and export markets (c) make it possible for the efficient farmer to realize a reasonable return on his invest- ment and to attain a generally acceptable standard of living and (d) maintain our private enter- prise system of farming (e.g. the viable family farm), where the farms are operated by the occupants. Farmers should be the prime participants with government in the formulation of farm policy. MARKETING Farm policy should be aimed at providing maximum farm in- come from sales of farm products thereby minimizing the need for subsidies. Supports should be available to protect farmers against the effects of direct or indirect sub- sidization of competing products in the domestic or export markets. Continued government assist- ance should be provided for agri- culture to offset protection given to other Canadian industries. Canada should give stronger leadership in negotiating freer world trade in agriculture goods, international commodity agree- ments and international supply management. We should -assure the free movement of farm products within Canada. We should immediately pro- vide National Marketing legis- lation with respect to those products whose producers desire national marketing agencies. Producers should constitute the majority, representation on such marketing agencies. Such marketing agencies should be given the power to implement supply management Warns of Toy Hazards In the September/October issue of Canadian Consumer, president of the Toy Testing Council of Canada,• Mrs. A.R. B.Lawrence, stresses that "the responsibility for the protect- ion of children lies not only with toy designers, manufacturers and legislators but ultimately with the parents". She then offers some safety suggestions to con- sider when buying toys. When ,purchasing rattles and similar infant toys, Mrs.Law- rence suggests that you avoid the thin brittle plastic because it is extremely splintery and dangerous when. broken, besides the parts of the noise-makers in the broken rattle can be swallowed. Be sure that any Visible bells and balls incor- porated into infant toys are of a size too large to swallow should they become detached. Check to see that the wheels of push or pull toys are securely fastened and will not pull off, leaving a sharp, exposed axle. The rod on a push toy should terminate in some form of securely faStened knob. Metal cars and trucks sl-iould be examined for sharp edges as these can give nasty cuts; wooden trucks and toys should be fastened with screws rather than nails which can work their way out and become a potential hazard. If you are buying a costume for your youngster, read the label carefully to determine whether the costume is flame- retardant and whether washing will affect this quality. Some light-reflecting parts are desir- able if the costume is to be worn out-of-doors at night. Re - member too that masks can re- strict vision and be uncomfort- able. It is safer, cheaper and just as much fun to use wash- able theatrical make-up instead. Play housekeeping equipment which is primarily intended for the three, four and five-year-old groups should not be electrical. This age group has no way of understanding the potential fire, shock and burn hazard -- or even the potential of an electrical outlet -- and should not be given anything that needs to be plugged in, A simulated piece of equip- ment with an imitation cord ter?, minating In a suction cup of magnet is equally satisfactory for this age of make-believe. In the article on"safety in Toys", Mrs. Lawrence reminds that any toy can be unsafe if given to the wrong child at the wrong age or if It is misused. A marble, for instance, can mean hours of play to a nine-year-old boy and death to a baby. Parents should be aware of the dangers inherent in some toys and when there is a wide age span between the children, the older ones must be taught to keep many of their toys out of the reach of the younger ones. Finally, the Canadian Con- sumer article stresses that the balloon -- that most innocent- appearing toy -- has been known to asphyxiate children who in- haled instead of exhaling while blowing them up. It is important to see that children are never allowed to put a deflated balloon in the mouth and that those old enough to blow theft up are Warned of the possible danger. In the end, the burden Is on parents to St* that they and their nhlidren take nare.00 where surpluses are a problem and control foreign imports. Commercial marketing tech- niques (for example commission selling) should be developed for farm products similar to those which have been successful In ather industries. The Canadian Wheat Board system should be retained for the marketing of western wheat, oats and barley. Protein grading for wheat should be instituted forthwith. There should be an expansion in agricultural research, with more emphasis on market development at home and abroad, better market information, and new uses for farm products. FARM INCOME MAINTENANCE There should be a program of farm income maintenance, with Government participation, to level out extreme fluctuations. Farm price stabilization legislation should be amended to make it applicable to the present scale of viable commercial farms. Children's Christmas A Christmas Bureau has again been organized by the Children's Aid Society of Huron County. The Bureau has been an annual pro- ject of the Society for some years now in the hope of ensuring a happy Christmas to those child- ren and families in the County who might otherwise be forgotten in the way of a Christmas dinner and gifts. The Bureau is maintaining a central registry of families and children at the Society's Goderich office so that donations and gifts can be effectively and equitably distributed. Already many County church groups, service clubs, other or- ganizations, and private indivi- duals have made donations of cash and gifts, Those wishing to give through the Children's Aid Society should forward their Federal crop insurance should be made more acceptable to farmers, by increasing the proportion of premium cogs as- sumed by the Federal Govern- ment. The legislation providing cash advances on farm stored grain should be maintained and expand- ed to include ell seeds and corn. FARM CREDIT Credit policies should be designed to assist only viable or potentially viable (family) farms, and 'should not be available to multi-interest corporate type farms, or hobby farms. Credit policies should be re- stricted to farmers who receive a substantial amount of their gross income from the basic farm industry. Canadian farm credit policy should aim at uniform credit terms all across Canada. Ceilings on Farm Credit Corporation loans must be raised, with safeguards to pre- vent their being used to increase the price of land, through the Aid Plans Help donations to the Society's office, 181 Victoria Street N., Goderich (telephone 524-7356). In addition to cash donations, new wearing apparel, layettes, jewellery, toi- let articles, games, flashlights, billfolds, etc, along with Christ- mas seals, ribbon, tags, wrapping paper, can all be put to good use for the gift boxes. Packing of boxes vill be underway the first week of December; thus ydur dontations and gifts should be into the office as, soon as possible. Names of families in need of Christmas help should also be directed to the Society. Many referals are already in, but the Society would welcome assist- ance in making certain all will be helped. Referrals or enqui- ries can be directed to the Soc- iety office. PRE XMAS SPECIAL ON PARTS establishment of price ceilings based on the productive capacity of the land and its potential to provide a return on the invest- ment. Government programs must be developed to facilitate the entry into and maintenance within the industry of qualified and/or educated young farmers. Rental- purchase arrangements under the Farm Credit Corporation are highly recommended. TAX POLICY Capital gains, estate taxes, and succession duties must not be allowed to cause the break- up of viable family farm units, or small family businesses. Capital gains taxes must not deprive retired farmers of their retirement income. Depreciation rates on farm equipment, special buildings, and machinery must be increased. Investment credit policies must be established on agri- cultural production machinery. • TRANSPORTATION ' Transportation costs and fa- cilities must be kept under con- stant review to assure equitable treatment of agriculture. Tolls on e St.Lawrence Sea- way show of be increased, but should b liminated as soon as possibl The development and use of the Hudson Bay Route should be promoted by every possible means. Use, of unit trains and other modern methods of transport to move agricultural products and inputs must be implemented as soon as possible. FARM ADJUSTMENT Steps should be taken to withdraw marginal land froin production when there are farm surpluses, and at such times there should be no government incentives to bring more land under cultivation. Sub-marginal land should be converted into parks and green belt areas, with the displaced farmers being given an oppor- tunity to be retrained to manage and develop such areas. There should be more em- phasis on developing industry in small centres, to provide em- ployment for displaced farmers and rural young people, thus making use of existing community services. Small, non-viable farmers should be provided with oppor- tunities to expand, to become well trained to enter another occupat- ion, or to retire with dignity. FARM MACHINERY Immediate steps must be taken to bring about a reduction in the unreasonably high cost of farm machinery and repairs, A s!stem of standardization of farm machinery and parts must be introduced. GOVERNMENT ORGANIZATION Over all authority and re- sponsibility for commercial agriculture at the national level must be centred in a new de- partment, to be called the De- partment of Agricultural Indus- try. In special circumstances we approve of the Government assigning exclusive responsi- bility for a segment of agriculture to another minister ( e.g. Canad- ian Wheat Board to another mini- ster).
