Farmers and pollution
The decision by Environment
,Minister James Auld to name a
committee of farmers to in
vestigate farms that are targets
of• pollution cOrnplaint is
welcomed .as a - posit ave move. by
the Ontario Federation -of
Agriculture.
"The Federation's pollution
committee proposed an all -
farmer inspect on team. -
because we knew it would be
the mast practical \vav, to solve
the conflict between livestock
farmers and their neighbours,"

He is a member of the OE''A's
seven -man provincial executive
and heads the pollution com-
mittee.
"Mr. ° Auld is to he
congratulated for acting on our
suggestion. The decisions of
this group of farmers will result
in immediate action - a
preferable alternative to the
festering feuds that have been
going on in. some areas for
months, and even years."
Varna hog farmer Gordon
Hill,. ,who., is OFA president,
calls the committee, "a
progressive step as a means to
eliminate community conflict
when uses of land are not com-
patible".
"it was a responsible move to
name an all -farmer committee.
Farmers are the only people
who know the habits,
problems anf costs other far-
r!1t rs. hay'e_ in-storing__and
disposing of animal wastes,"' he
said.
Hill added, ''I'm sure that .
these men will be .fair to both
livestock farmers and their
neig1th urs, because failure to
do so will bring disrepute to
livestock •operations across the
province."

Mr. Flemington was in town to help conduct an inter-,
denominational seminar pn "Man and Development."
Peter Flemington the writer
and director of the World`
Development Hires for Man
Alive -was in Goderich Wed-
nesday Mari h ''H to speak at
three meet lugs on behalf of Roy
Ijorrrsteel who was unable to
attend,,
Mr. Flemington was asked by
'Religious Television Associates
to produce a series of three'
films which were to be shown
on Mian Alive this season. One
of theta was the hour long pre-
chrlstmas special on Dr. Robert
Mc('1ure, former moderator of
the United Church of Canada.
The two other films were half
when the aid sent to them gets
directly to the "grassroots.,
where it Is sorely needed..,
He also believes that just
because :r large conap'any builds
a 11, 1l0electric power plant or
factory in an underdeveloped
count r\ it doesn't necessarily
mean that it is aiding in the
development of that country. In
some cases it actually takes
away existing lobs after it's
completion because the hulk of
the people are not sufficiently
educated to work 111 these in-
stitutions.
Meanwhile the -large profits
taken in by these companies
hour programs in conjunction' goes hark to their head offices
with 10 Days For .World in the ~fates or wherever.
Development. which wits a
national co-operative inter-
church developmewt education
campaign.
During his filming, Mr.
Flemington worked in such
places a?s `the Philippines,
Singapore, Malaysia, and Swit-
4111141and. He has divided the
world into three parts which
are: western world or the
Americas; the Iron •Curtain
countries, and the third world,
the world that must request aid
and support from the other
two.
'l'hroughout his travels he
has come to believe that the
biggest. gap within poor coun-
tries is the gap between the rich
and poor. According • to Mr.
Flemington, the important
thing is to ensure that any
money or aid given, must be
directed to the proper source.
"Often funds sent to aid poor
people are stopped at the gover-
nment level." This does not
:always happen, but oc-
casionally it is so.
His working experience has
left hire with three distinct im-
pressions' about - Man-` and
Development.
Number one is that develop-
ment is basically about people.
He believes that when reading
about the ••third world people
tend to thiiak about numbers
to►o much and neglect to con -
Alder the numbers as human
beings_
Hissecond impression is that
devel)>i►meilt has less to do
with economic factors and r%►re
to do with social justices and
self respect. • The economic
structure has left poor coon-•
tries divided into classes where
the dktrihution of wealth and.
opportunity is very uniust. Mr.
Flemington stated that
"development can only come
His third impression is that
when we hear -the tern'
develol)1110itt, we tend to think
of 011rselves. "We think we Ire
developed." "When discussing
"under -developed"- countries
we compare them to our stan-
dards." "If we .want to assist
the third world, we should do
so with trust and sensitivity
and not through obligation."
The whole point of his
discussions is that people are
willing to give donations to
projects that they think will aid
in bringing the needy country
up to' the donors' standards.
•'1' he forgotten. thought
however is that ' he people in
need are individuals with their
own minds, and they rpav not
want to imitate us. Develop-
ment to there is promoting
themselves to a comfortable
living standard which suits
their life style and not
necessa°tily
The film shown at the high
- school was only seen by about
1111) • people but was greatly en-
joyed by those present. The
women's tea social in the after-
noon was well supported as
about 150 people attended.
