mission to close out passenger
service on two of its Western On -
tad° lines - Palmerston to Owen

C.N. also seeks to change time
schedules for its passenger service
on the Palmerston -Kincardine run
through Lucknow aid. the Pal-

Walkenori. ' •
,The potions were made at
meeting in the Winghto District
High School attended by a sparse
audience Of less than 20 interested
persons from the towns on this line.
. Addressing the meeting were
Keith Hunt, manager of C.14.3
Southwestern area, London; Beg
Nov/combo, area manager for pas-
senger sales and services, also of
London; and Jack Docherty, district
-branch manager, passenger sales
and services, Kitchener.
These officials said a comprehen-
sive survey had been Made earlier
this fall, including personal
meetings with civic officials, to
seek suggestiops for improved
passenger service.
They showed • slides which in-
dicated the vast imbalance which
has existed for many years on the
four lines between passenger
revenue and costs of maintaining
the service. It was stated that costs.
are six times higher than revenue,
and the situation is growing steadily
Worse.
If the Ottawa board approves,
C.N. will alter the hons of its runs

Predicts Bleak Future For On-

fanners, Ralph Barrie, President of

ture (OFA), warned last week.
Barrie said that each one pet tent
increase in interest rates will cost
Ontario farmers $25 -million. Cur-

is long-term debt at fixed rates.
"These additional costs are

- Farmers are just recovering from
OW of the worst years they have
seen, said Dame.
Rood goveriunent figures show
Oniano's net, farm income declined
by 313 per cent in 1980. An
increase of 9A per cent is predicted
for 1981, well below the predicted
rate of inflation.
Barrie said the OFA is akeady
begirming toreceive calls from
farmers who have had their loans
recalled:by the bank. Ile predicted
the situation would become more
widespread in the. spring when
fainters make their largest pur-
chases.
The hardest hit are the young
farmers with little equity in their
farms. "We were appalled by the
number of young people driven out
of farming last year. But, if present
trends continue, 1981 is going to be
much worse,'" he said. •
Large pace increases are expected
for all food items , in 1981. .
However, little of this will find its
way into the pockets of Ontario
farmers, he said. Energy, fertilizers,
chemicals, the cost of borrowing,
and other farm supplies' are all
expected to rise in price faster than
farm gide prices.
Barrie said the OFA • met with
„ government officials today to dis-
cuss the problem facing the farm
community.
