Zurich preist addresses Huron County deration of Agriculture meeting F • • • • .14N 4 N- atlerttit y9pvi tcf ;. St. Boniface parish in Zurich and chairman of the Catholic Rural Life Conference, Lon- don Diocese, was guest speaker when the Huron County Federation of Agriculture held their regional meet' September 6 in the Clinton Public School. Father Mooney's root on a farm near Woodsley, depression me pries of living on potatoes for three winters, remembered "regret of a father who never in 32 years of farming managed to buy his own land, and Father Mooney's personal seven-year ex- perience among the poor of Peru have all contributed to the priests's empathy with the financial and other stresses faced by farmers, and the importance of preserving the family farm. During a talk punctuated with humorous yet pertinent anecdotes, Father Mooney ex- panded on his opening theme, "the Church does not claim to be an expert on technical problems, but I think we have something to say about moral problems and principles". Humans are the only creatures able to stand back and admire God's creation, but parts of the world now seem out of order," he said. "For this, humans must accept responsibili- ty." Work, said Father Mooney, is not some cirsed legacy from Adam and Eve's disobe- dience, but part of man's cooperation and co -creation with God. However, people are supposed to be the subject and not the object of technology. • He blamed, "misplaced attitudes, for judging people by what they have rather than by what they are. He said wealth car- ries with it social obligations, as, "you didn't get it by yourself", adding the earth on one's farm is a gift to be cared for and passed on, not ruined. Father Mooney doubted if any of his au- dience had experienced -real poverty. He said the gulf between the first and the third world, and even between the rich and the poor in Canada, was widening. He mention- ed that in 1952, corporations in this country apaid g9 r� etavaitt.af .tbc' taxesv>aoll f to d ..and -- the wonting man accounted for 25 per cent. By 1982 corporations were paying only 15 per cent, and the working man's share had climbed to 52 per cent. Is the.human race a family of not, Father Mooney asked. Does money invested in some countries cause poverty among that nation's people? Are some people expen- dable? He proved that the problem of inequitable distribution of wealth is age= -Old by quoting from Isaiah 5:8 - "woe to those who join house to house, who add field to field, until there is no more room, and you are made to dwell alone in the midst of the land". The solution lies within, Father Mooney said, with the emergence of the deeper self. Some reach this stage of maturity at 20, some at 90, and some never. People can retreat, refuse to face facts, panic and have a heart attack, or go home and in a talk with one's wife decide where one is going, what life is all about, and whether possessions or relationships deserve priority. He gurnmarized By saying the moral prin- ciples arising from the five points he had discussed - the human person, money and possessions, work, poverty, the human family - could be applied equally to farming, the economy and social life. His concluding advice was that we have to mature and grow, live in harmony with nature, and not mine the soil but live off the interest, not the principal.

When Huron Federation president Tony McQuail asked for resolutions to take to the convention, some of the problems associated with signing a personal property security agreement as part of a loan tran- saction were brought up. The executive was requested to draft a resolution asking the OFA to make members aware of the pitfalls inherent in signing such an agreement, and explore ways to protect the farmers' in- terests. The final wording will be checked with Gordon . Hill. He asked during the discussion why someone would sign such a form without thoroughly reading it just because he was in a hurry. "Why would anyone be so damn stupid?", he queried. "We should start pointing the finger at the farmer; we're not doing him any favour by shielding him." Jim McIntosh assured Norm Alexander that the problem of wetlands being drained, and the further complication of no compen- sation for the farmer, was being in- vestigated by an OFA committee. Paul Klopp's motion to continue to press the provincial government to change the criteria to allow beginning farmers with some farming experience and some farm equity to qualify for the beginning farmer loans was accepted. Mr. McQuail said individuals may for- ward more resolutions to the meeting before September 15.
