Daylong Peace Fair will bring together
people concerned about threat of war
Close to 200 people are expected at a peace
fair at Camp Menesetung, three miles north
of Goderich on Saturday, June 22 by the
Ontario Rural Learning Association, says
organizer Paul Puddy, of Dungannon.
"It's surprising how many people are
interested in the issue of peace. We're
holding the peace fair to learn who else in
the area 'is interested in peace and to
provide information to our area about what
being done to promote peace in urban
areas," he says.
The day -long fair, which goes from 9 a.m.
to 11 p.m., will include 14 workshops, a play
about peace, displays, music, a nature hike,
children's activities, non-competitive
games, swimming and wholesome food.
Speakers at the workshops include
Mothers for Peace and Freedom from
Argentina, the Burlington Peace Group who
will speak on citizen's advertisements for
peace, and George Webb from Project
Ploughshares who will speak on non-violent
alternatives.
Other topics of workshops include world
peace, interpersonal relationships and
peace, music related to peace, peace tax,
refugees and human rights and
understanding how peace negotiations
work.
"The fair is significantly different from
urban peace fairs. "There's no organized
entertainment and we're issue -oriented
instead of drawing crowds with big names,"
says Puddy.
Valerie Bolton, another board member of
the Rural Learning Association, says the
fair is a "fun and attractive way to learn
about the issues related to peace."
"Peace is a common theme in everyone's
life. Although people aren't vocal about it,
when you bring up the subject, peace is
somethingthey've thought about," she says.
A member 'of the cast of six performing
the play, Bolton says the play tells a
humorous story of a Huron County farmer
caught -from his "peaceful" life to a
heavenly perspective on global political
issues.
"It ends with the thought that everyone
has responsibility to turn off the war
machine," she says.
The day will also include a series of films
including the National Film Board's "If You
Love This Planet."
Chaos, corruption and war seem to be triumphing when a Huron County farmer is jolted
from his peaceful existence into a heavenly perspective of global political issues during a
play which will be performed at the Peace Fair at Camp Menesetung, north of Goderich this
Saturday. Performers in the play include Valerie Bolton, Jean Schoebl, Joan Chandler,
Beth Jantzi and Tom Bailey. ( photo by Susan Hundertmark)
Farmers crowd Cardiff's office
BY STEPHANIE LEVESQUE
Thirteen farmers from the Huron County
federation of agriculture crowded 'into
Huron -Bruce MP Murray Cardiff's,
• Brussels ,office Moio ay glopins,taAet him
know that while they support hun,. they are
disappointed with his party's landget.
Members of federations from across the
province are meeting with their MPs to let
them know of their dissatisfaction with the
budget introduced last month by finance
minister Michael Wilson.
The meeting started to take a turn for the
worse when MP Cardiff said agriculture
• should have been mentioned in the' budget. -
"Agriculture was mentioned. After the
government says it wants to know our pro-
blems, and we tell them, then it kicks us
haf der," said first vice-president in the
Huron organization, Paul Klopp of Zurich.
A resolution, passed at the Ontario
Federation of Agriculture's monthly
meeting, states in part, "we demand that
our MPs represent our frustrations and
anger and demand for action to their respec-
tive caucus and ministers." Huron presi-
dent Doug Garniss of RR 4, Wingham read
the resolution to Mr. Cardiff.
"It was a fair meeting," said Mr. Garniss
at the end of the hour-long session.
"We're hoping to get some responses on
exactly what action is being taken."
FOF his part, Mr. Cardiff said he was
aware of the farmers' concerns before the
brief prepared by the OFA. He asked the
farmers to give his government more time.
"We've only been in office eight months,"
said the Progressive Conservative back
bencher.
He did say it is his hope that a national
'tripartite prpgrartr`vfitll, tie approved, by the
House of Commons within two weeks. Car-
diff said numerous groups affected by such
a program have presented information to
,the government and his colleagues have told
him the necessary legislation will be passed
;by the end of June when the house recesses
for the summer.
However, several federation members
said federal agriculture minister.John Wise
recently in effect said that a national tripar-
tite program would be frowned upon by the
Americans and thu§ limiting markets for
Canadian commodities. Cardiff was surpris-
ed that Wise had made such comments.
"I can't imagine him saying that," said
Cardiff shaking his head.. He added that he
supports such a program.
"That's the way I heard it," said Dungan-
non area farmer Ross Eedy.
The Huron -Bruce MP said the tripartite
program will only be a step toward help for
farmers with no immediate changes for the
agridulture sector.
The Huron farmers pressed for an outline
from the Progressive Conservative govern-
ment stating when it hopes to introduce pro -
gams that will help the farmer. Cardiff
didn't commit himself to getting such an
outline.

There was considerable discussion on the
agribond proposal, , which Mr. Cardiff has
said and re -affirmed he full4supports. •
The farmers want agribonds because they
are secure and a government is committed
to them and they are similar to current in-
dustrial bonds, said Mr. Klopp.
The member of parliament asked the
farmers what they would consider a fair in-
terest rate and Seaforth area farmer Jim
McIntosh said about three per cent over in-
flation.
The farmers also asked for more action
'from the federal government regarding
American borders being closed to pork pro-
ducers. Four or five states have taken such
action.
Cardiff encouraged _,the federation
members to come into his office any time.
The farmers said they would help Mr. Car-
diff any time to get the agriculture message
across in Ottawa.
