On this subject, Mervyn Smith a Huron F of A director said, "Without the cow-calf stabilization plan we would be in worse shape than we are now. The United States could supply all the beef we need in a moment without any increas in price." The second part of the brief asked why farmers have to pay high prices for gasoline com- pared to the prices at pumps in the towns and cities. Falconer cited a situation in November when farm delivered prices were 84,9 cents per gallon as opposed to 73.9 cents at several east end Stratford service stations. Huron-Middlesex MPP Jack Riddell said he personally checked into this matter. Riddell commented, "The gas companies tell me the cost of distribution is much less to a station where they drop thousands of gallons at one time as opposed to maybe 200 gallons at a farm." The MPP continued, "I know of several instances where farmers did take large tanks to city station and receive gas at the lower prices and they are still eligible to receive the tax rebate from the governments." Huron-Middlesex MP Bob McKinley said the big difference in gasoline prices in Ontario and Huron MP Robert McKinley suggested Saturday that a the United States is the amount of tax charged. McKinley added, "In most states they charge seven cents in tax plus a federal levy of three cents a +gallon while here the Ontario tax is 19 cents and the federal excise tax is 10 cents." The third concern by the fact somefgereodu centred on the mills are charging P as high as three percent a month on over-due accounts, The only advice given by the politicians was for better relations with banks, On the fourth point, Falconer national vote of Canadian far- mers on the subject of marketing boards might be the answer to a lot of problems. McKinley was one of three Members of Parliament at- tending the annual brief sub- mission day in Clinton sponsored by the Huron Federation of Agriculture. Speaking to a submission on trade and tariffs and especially on the subject of beef imports, McKinley said, "I feel like asking Agriculture Minister Eugene Whelan to initiate a Canada-wide vote on this subject. It would have to be with the co-operation of the provinces." McKinley continued, "There is more support for marketing By MARIE NETHERCOTT World Day of Prayer was held March 4 in Crediton United Church, with Greenway United, Greenway Anglican, Mount Carmel Catholic Churches all taking part. A double duet was sung by Nola Ratz, Elva Lamport, Edith Gill and Marie Fydenchuk. Guest speaker was Dr. B. McLaren of London who spoke on Love in Action, showing that the Lord will hold us responsible for lost souls if we do not administer our love throughout the world. said his group was fed up with all the talk that farmland should be saved for production. He con- tinued, "We feel it should be sold to the highest bidder regardless of the intended use." Jack Riddell replied, "We have to look at this problem in all fairness. Farmers seem to want free enterprise but still expect governments to close off borders to imports. If you want free en- terprise you must be prepared to work on a competitive basis," Riddell continued,"At a recent conference I was really shot down when I suggested farmers boards and quotas than most people think." The brief read by Mervyn Smith called for tariff protection for agriculture which less vital industries already have. It continued, "Farmers are not willing to see agricultural products traded off for larger imports of manufactured goods. Let's get our priorities in the right perspective. Many manufactured goods are not necessities—eating is." Gordon Hill, past president of the Ontario Federation of Agriculture said farmers get only a small amount of protection from tariffs. He added, "Processors get more protection than the producers do." McKinley agreed saying, "We are well aware that farm producers have not been receiving the attention they should." A Huron Federation vice- president Bev Brown said food has contributed less to inflation than anything else. She asked, "What sort of action is going to get the attention of the govern- ment?" Advertising... tells you what's new. CANADIAN ADVERTISING ADVISORY BOARD should be compensated for "down zoning" of their land, I was told in no uncertain terms that farmers are not in the business of speculation." In deferice of land preservation Riddell said, "The Queen Elizabeth Way should hdve been built above the Niagara Escarpment instead of on prime fruit producing land, If we ever have to rely on imports for food we will be in the same boat as we are with oil now," Falconer said farmers should not have to carry the burden of saving farm land when urban people aren't even concerned, "Town people simply don't care for us," he said. "They won't even slow down to let us cross the road:" MPP Jack Riddell disagreed saying it was important to keep a viable farm industry in Canada. He said if farm land wasn't protected, Canada could find herself dependent on other countries for food imports. "Surely we do not want to find ourselves at the mercy of countries that can produce food cheaper than we can now. We could soon find Ourselves paying a lot more." The proposed reform of property taxation also came under fire at the meeting by various commodity groups. Bert Elliot of the Huron County Cream Producers said "land should be taxed for education, but people should pay for services to people". "If the government paid all land taxes, we would lose control of our land, and would soon be told what to grow, and where to grow it," he said. • MPP Murray Gaunt said the Blair Commission's recom- mendation that the government pay 90 percent of the land tax and the farmer pay 10 percent "is no better than the original proposal." "I don't think the Blair Com- mission has resolved it at all. The Federation and members have to be pressing from now on to make sure the government doesn't come in with it. I think we should oppose it right down the line," he said. A brief by the Federation of Agriculture supported the Cream Producers' presentation. The Federation brief, presented by Maurice Bean, pointed out the Snowmobilers Association had already'suggested they should be given access to farm land for recreation purposes as the public will be paying the taxes. "This suggestion alone verifies our stand that farmers would lose control of their property," he said. Other briefs, many of which were discussed at Federation meetings throughout the year, included a review of the activities of the Huron County 4-H club leaders, presented by association president Bob Hern, a brief of trade and tariffs presented by HFA director Gerry Fortune and a report from the Huron Soil and calling for more research fun- Crop Improvement Association, ding, presented by president Stan 242 MAIN ST.
