When a farm group stated that agricultural expansion on some of the best farmland in Canada, the. land west of Highway 21, North' of Goderich, would be severely curtailed if recreational .development is allowed, the planner stated that it was curtailed now because of residences having been built previously too close to livestock operations. In the planners view this means that the wedge is in and the developers can go ahead and gobble up all of it, No thought is given to the possibility of putting the But to those * * houses. But those houses represent a value of maybe $30,000 while the affected farms will be between $100,000 and S300,000. That we won'the able to feed the people who will live in those hottSes. in the next generation, if they sit right on top of our bread basket, is apparently not thought or, It is about time that non-farm consumers join the fartnett: in the preservation of food fillttl80111A POAt 4t1Vit 2, 19I4 Remember!

We commend the townships around Chatham who. resist expansion of the city on the grounds that it will be at the expense of good land. if a. community has a good balance of industry and residneces, there is no reason that it should grow; except for the false idea that a larger city will be more important and with it the town officials. ****** A prime example of a growth hungry city is Sarnia. The Petrosar plant could be built in Alberta on less valuable land. It may cost more to ship the finished product to market, but this will be more than offset by the lower future cost of shipping imported food to Market, Another example of irrespon- sible waste of good food producing land is in the Nanticoke area ,where the Ontario government designates more than 20,000 acres of good farmland to industrial and residential development. These acres are able to produce enough energy to feed about 2 million people for a ',AthOle year.
