Our economic tradition has developedthrough theemigration of people to Canada who came to search for a better way of life. Hard , work created a better. lifestyle for a,fariNy, ai l„working .towards this challenge• kept us ahead. Canadians once stood as second highest standard of living in the world.. We ..have slipped- to thirteenth. "We've seen constant economic de- cline,” said ' Crombie, "when what we require is hard work, investment, research, development and .a sense of looking to the future." Politically we have been a federation which allows all those independent commun- ' ides: acrossthe country to ' stay together, remarked Crombie. "Federation is an instinct which has saved us generation after generation." The federal system is here to serve Canadians, said Crombie, it only requires a certain price, a price: Canadian generations have been watts to pay: tolerance, respect and endless patience, If you travel to Israel, Lebanon or the. Latin America republics, the cry you hear is people wanting their place in the sun, if they get what they want, noted Crombie, they'll have what we already have. But we take it for granted; stated Crombie, and the thing about that is, if you take it, for granted it won't be there when you want ,it. Crombie concluded by saying: "When Canada dies and goes to heaven, God won't ask why we weren't more like the British, French or Americans, but he will ask us why we weren't more Canadian;" Timbrell in Chesley...: 'from page 1 beginning farmers, even those who ' have assistance:; from a family farm. The third program will introduce income stabilization which the ministry previously • considered a federal responsibility. Timbrell said Ontario is now prepared to pay its share of a three way national income stabilization program, which would see the involveraent of producers, the federal government and the provincial government. Timbrell pointed outhowever, that no one • provincial budget can, assume the total responsibility for agriculture's problems. "The provincial programs must 'compli- ment federal programs," he added. Timbrell said he met with Federal Agri- culture Minister Eugene Whelan a month ago and came away encouraged. Timbrell said he told Whelan to put enough money into the Farm Credit Corporation at rea- sonable interest rates to pertnitthe Corpor- ation to do its job. Whelan plans to have S1 billion in the Corporation by June which Timbrell thinks will get the job done. Timbrell made the observation . he, :is optimistic about the future of agriculture in this province. He said the will of the average farmer is strong, Farmers have told . him: You support us with programs and we can do the job. But don't let us hang out to dry Tirnbrell said, he will not promise to deliver the impossible but he is prepared to take to cabinet any reasonable programs which will permit the farmers of Ontario to produce • effectively and • effeciently . as possible. .

[Sentinel Staff Photo] Prepare ih,ospital proposal... *from . page 1 ad hoc committee to look into ways of raising the funds for the addition, Newton suggest- ed the fund raising committee wits prema- ture. Newton said he wanted to . hear definitely from the ministry that they" would participate • in the project before proceeding with a committee to look into fund raising. "It seems we're barging ahead and doing something we may not need to do if the ministry says ' Nol' ," commented . Newton. Board chairman Jack Kopas said o the board could not proceed with the proposed addition if the ministry would not partici- pate. He said the ad hoc committee would assess the tenor of the community regarding fund raising., The board decided to proceed with the proposal to present to the ministry, but agreed not to establish a fund raising committee until they learned whether the ministry ,would take part. The hospital's executive director, Norman Hayes said the hospital's negotiating team was preparing another presentation for the ministry to obtain the remainder of the funds required for the 1981-82 fiscal year. The hospital's auditors are preparing an audited statement which will accompany the pres- entation which is to be, made this week. Hospital treasurer, Gordon Baxter com- mented that the hospital was in a healthy financial position at the end of its fiscal year March 31 but this would change because of the shortfall in government funding which would .becomeevident this month. He said the projected deficit of S160,000 is accurate. Baxter. said he projected this deficit .in December and the ministry has known all along where the hospital would be at the end of their fiscal year and "our figures are right there". Hayes said the hospital scan justify every penny of the deficit. Hospital finance committee writes,off bad debts. The chairman' of the finance committee, Dr: Al Williams, made several motions requesting board approval to write off bad debts for the fiscal year 1981 - 82. The hospital board decided to write off debts of $156 for self pay inpatient fees; $20 for outpatient accounts and $180 for amublance accounts. . Hospital treasurer, Gordon Baxter, said this does not prevent the hospitalfrom continuing, their efforts to collect these payments. Indeed he said the hospital is still trying to collect them. It simply clears the books for the year and makes the bookkeep- ing tidier. Appoint Architect To Prepare Paipting Specifications Hans Kuyvenhoven, chairman of the property committee, requested board ap= • proval to hire Lloyd Kyles of Kyles, Kyles and Garratt at a cost of $750' to coordinate contract for repainting the remaining. areas of the hospital with responsibility for writing specifications, time scheduling, phasing and colour selection in ,conjunction with property committee. The property committee also received approval to. hire Kyles„Kyles and Garratt at a cost of $600 to provide recommendations. and prepare specifications to replace the roof over the Intensive Care Unit and the patient area on theeast side of the second floor corridor at the northeast section of the hospital. The property committee also re- commended the acceptance'of a quotation to ' replace water softeners at the hospital.
