Part's* stressed the need for
the continuance of "the family
farm,'" Do you think this is an
p tarn . Issue to Huron
riding and why. What steps do
you believeshould or could be
taken in this area to ensure
' that this Institution thrives?
SHIRLEY WEARY -- N.D,P. ---
When the national party
G leaders spoke of continuance for
the family farm during their
visits to the ' International
Plowiriig Matchrecently they
were indeed discussing„an issue
of importance in the riding of
Huron.
As the New Democratic can-
didate in this riding I believe
there are positive steps which
can be taken to meet the
problems of agriculture and
rural life. These steps must be
taken to stem the flow of young,
• people from rural areas to cities.
where they all too often search
in vain for employment. They
are caught in the squeeze bet-
ween their family farm's in-
capability of supporting them
and the city's inability to
provide employment.
--This situation must be
arrested in order to both stop
N
the continual rise of unem-
ployment and, to return these
people to thefamily farm they
love. .
To stabilize the agricultural
population, at a level which will
support -::ter s
�; onableyrange of
rural services the NDF,k. would
act by instituting regulations,
controls ,and standardiiaition of
farm machinery. This would
serve to stabilise production for
the fa ijner.
Under. such .a program farm
machinery dealers would handle
several lines of machinery, by
various manufacturers,' thus
assuring that the farmer could
purchase the equipment best
suited to his needs. Standar-
dization of parts would serve to
cut the repair. costs and overall
productions costs.
The NDP propose reducing
capital costs by the creation of
land banks which would be
available to fanners for ,lease.
Farm families and cooperatives
would be given access to a wide
range.of credit programs at low
cost.
ROBERT E. McKINLEY — P.C.
Since most people in this con-
stituency are involved in far -
fir related
businesses and the majority of
farms are of the 'family' type,.
the future of the 'family' farm is $
are important issue in Huron.

costs for labour, materials' and
machinery have forced the far-
mers into financially difficult
positions. Finally the introduc-
tion, by thea Liberals, Of the
capital gains tax -which would
remove all, incentive for a son to
take + over his father farm
seems to be the final step to end
the era of the 'family' farm.
,A program to" strengthen the
family farm crust ensure that
the capital gains tax does not
apply ,to the transfers of
averaged -sized farms within the
family unit. Reorganization' of
the farm credit corporation to
provide for partial- non -
repayment of , loans and to
provide for deferred interest
payments on all loans during an
initial period would make it
easier for young people to take

nment mat` 'be prepared to

through a realistic farm policy.
A Progressive Conservative
Government would be prepared
to provide such a policy.

1,113ERAL74,
Most of the farmers in Huron
are farnily farmers and Huron
riding is one o ~ the . most
prosperous 'rtdirigs > in Ontario
and I believe this prosperity in-
dicates that the family farm is
still the most efficient way to
produce food.
shall 'continue to promote
the farnily farm as an
economical way to producefood..

2. Farmers have seen ' their
share of the food dollar drop in
the last 20 years. Do you
believe steps should be taken
to distribute the food dollar?
Why?
• ROBERT E. McKINLEY
Like all Canadians, farmers
have been faced with the con-
stant increase of food prices over
the past two decades. However
they have also had to cope with
the problem of a decreasing net
income caused by constant
lower returns for farm products
coupled with increased.. costs.
Since a farmer is limited by..the
size of his farm and facilities, in
his total production his only
hope in bettering his financial
position is to get more for his
product.
. Contrary to the present ad-
ministrations cheap food policy,
Progressive Conservatives feel
that by keeping the agriculture
industry strong and profitablp
t strengththe econo-
my would show . in all other
aspects of the country.
of those items during the time
when Canadian farmers are
trying to sell their produce.
The local fanner would also
get a largeE share of the food
dollar if were
�..
,� his products were
marketed by a cooperative
system which would cut into the'
large profits of the middleman.

3. There has been much
discussion .01 late on *environ-
.amental issues of growth,
population, environmental
planning, protect$on of en-
dangered species and preser-
vation of natural areas. What
environmental issues -do you
feel particularly concern this
area and what action do you'
intend to take on them?
CHARLES THOMAS
,Waste disposal is becoming a
big problem. I believe there is a
need to look at alternate
methods ,of sewage
management. The streams in
Huron are small and we need
ways of handling sewage that do
not rely on large stream
capacity.
Municipalities . need to be
aware that the federal govern-
ment makes grants available for
research on new types of sewage
disposal systems.
SHIRLEY WEARY
We in Huron are fortunate
that problems relating to the en-
vironment have .not . hit us
hat this invi jv and' that we live in
possibly one of . the cleanest
areas of our country. This does
not ,mean however that we
should not' have an eve to poten-
tial problems and plan actions
to keep .Huron in its present e'n"
vironmental condition.
This means we must plan for
the future so that our children,
and those others who will
inherit this country from us, do
not have to face the ugly mess
and. difficult. questions other
Canadians .must now deal with.
Around our urban area';,
which with the rest of this coun-
try, 'are destined to grow we

and areas set aside ,for
CHARLES THOMAS •
I believe we need to look at
the food packaging industry to
determine whether we can make
some ;livings which can be
.passed On to , the primary
producer., .
Perhaps we can cut down on
the number of pounds of waste
which are created by the discar-
ding of excess packaging.
SHIRLEY' WEARY
Through our agricultural

come with higher and steadier
levels through a combination of
regulations on dorinestic prices
at the producer level, a structure
of national, producer controlled

egressive export sales policy to
the whole world. In the past ex-
ports have been depending too
much on one or two countries.
These steps would also serve

food dollar. Canadian farmers
would he put in a position where
their produce would be sold by
supermarkets in the place of

tries. •Items of a seasonable
