Smiles He who occupies a place in the sun must expect some blisters. Adert k an agricultural deve opulent project in Sierra Leone in co-operation with the World University Service. of Canada (WUSC). OFA's share was to "sponsor a farm manager to imp.e dent and administer a poultry farm and hatchery there. Roland Stalker of Bath, Ont. was selected and went to the site. After spending several weeks, there Mr. Stalker was of the opinion that consider- able additional funds were required to repair machinery and purchase corn for live- stock feed if the project was to be a success. He returned to Canada apd,a presentation was' made to the Canadian International Development Agency. (CIDA) through WUSC and an additional $70,000 was received. Mr. Stalker did not return to Africa, as a suitable replacement was 'found who already was on the continent under the employment of another aid organization. On last report (July 1978) the project was well under;vay. All major structures for the poultry operation (parent breeding house, rearing house, hatchery building, feed store and ancillary ser- vice buildings) were com- pleted. A new incubator was installed last May and the first batch of eggs were expectcdto hatch in Aug- ust or September. The hatch- ing of chickens domestically is a great step forward as currently day-old chicks are imported froth Europe at a considerable expense. As a result farmers in Sierra Leone will be able to increase their flocks eco- nomically and the country's serious shortage of protein for human consumption can bg lessened. In light of the completion of the. Foreign Aid commit- tee's initial undertaking the committee has decided to terminate it's commitment to WUSC. The, project has in- curred an expense of $10,000 on the OFA sionsored farm- manager's account, About $7500 has already been raised but the Foreign Aid Committee would like to clean up its deficit by the end of November. The Perth Federation donated the $25 hoping that if each county federation in the province follows suit then the project bill can be paid by OFA Convention time (November 27, 28, 29, in Hamilton.)
