_ Open letter
Dear Editor;
I would like to take this
means of writing ariopen
letter to the students and
staff of Goderidh and
District Collegiate
Institute and residents of
Goderich and the
surrounding area. '
Our visit to your school
and community on May
15-17 was a most pleasant
and memorable occasion
for each of us. Likewise,
the earlier visit of GDCI
students- to Bay- City
Western High School was
one of the highlights of
our school year. I am
certain that each person
who participated, in any
capacity of the 'music
exchange will support my
opinion .-that it was a
tremendous experience
The reception of our
young people by all of you
was beyond our greatest
expectations. Your
hospitality, consideration
and friendliness was
simply overwhelming.
All .of • our students • are -
still talking about the fun
they. had, the friends they
made and the thrill of the
exchange generally.
Each of us wishes to
thank the community of
Goderich. You are a
special community! To
those of you who opened
your homes •to our
students, the GDCI Music

toward that goal. (Photo by Joanne Buchanan)

response has been
overwhelming. Extra

Subscription sales of

ceeded last year's total
sales of 1,571. The 1980
goal was set at 2,000 and
will no doubt be
passed.

Hog problems
Dear Editor:
We are all aware of the
drastic price slump in the
hog industry which saw
prices go from the high
70's to the low 40's in less
than a year. We also
realize that the present
production level has been
-cam-pletely absorbed into
the marketplace and is
doing no more- than
meeting the market
demands. This is mainly
,._'bp_o,,ause_the Ontari2Po k
Producers Marketing
Board is doing such a fine
job of promoting our
pork. But as pork
producers, we haven't got
the means by which we
can obtain the cost of
production from our
product. As a result of
this, coupled with high
input costs, many new
produpers are in serious
financial trouble and the
established producers
are doing well to meet
their commitments.
These drastic price
fluctuations can no longer
be absorbed by the sale of
other produce.
There is 'an answer,
Our fellow farmers in the
egg ' and chicken and
dairy production industry
realize what that answer
is. It ' is - supply
management with the
cost of production in-
cluded in the price of the
final product. I do not
have all the answers but
to start with I would like
to see supply
management at the sow
end of the hog production
business. Pigs from these
sows could also be
marketed with the cost of
production tied to the
final price: This would
allow any" farmer who
wanted to' feed these pigs
the right to 'do so without

suffering losses,, provided
he is a good manager.
In then last ten to fifteen
years smaller farms have
disappeared and family
farms are disappearing
and just. recently foreign
ownership has become a
problem. I suggest to you
there is only one reason
for all these mysterious
happenings, lack of
earning ability in the
hands of individual
farmers on which to base
long range management
decisions. If farmers had
the security that a cost of
production formula
would guarantee them,
the rural community
would remain in- the
hands of the 'sons and
daughters of the present
farmers becaus.e1ar.nung
would finally and for the
first time, be a° -business
where a profit could
continually be realized by
ha d_ work_and go!)d_.
management.
In the past months,
since last fall, I have
spoken to many worried
farmers. A great
majority of them are
concerned for the far-
ming industry and for
rural Canada as a whole.
Most of them realize that
without the cost of
production formula on
which to base the price of
our produce, we will be
free to go broke, each at
our own speed.

Whelan asking for the
support of Ontario far-

prosperity I feel we as
concerned pork
producers should give
him our support. Because
if we do not we have no
one to blame for our loss
of bujs g power or our
lower standard of living
but ourselves.
I would like to get in
contact with anyone who
shares my concerns. The
Huron County Pork
Producers Marketing
Board, I am sure, would
call a meeting to hear the
views of the pork
producers. If you as a
producer of pork are tired
of being manipulated,
and would like some
dependability in our
prices, now is the time to
