Call Bob Jamieson 395-3111 (Kincardine) A F• land Hydro group selects new executive Concerned? citizens in 24 townships from the Douglas Point power station in Bruce County to London have once again organized to counter Ontario Hydro's proposed M- 1 transmission system. If accepted, the Hydro proposal would affect thousands off o res_off .prime. agricultural land in south- western Ontario and hun- dreds of farmers and other ratepayers. Members of the Foodland Hydro Committee and some 60 delegates and alternates from the concerned town- ships met at Huron Park last week to discuss reorganiza- tion and reactivation of the committee. Nominations and elections were held and a new- executive and board of directors installed. Results were: Chairman, Tony McQuail, West Wawanosh; first vice, Ken McGregor, East Williams Twp.; second vice, Bob Shuel, Caradoc Twp.; secretary, %Bill Jongejan, Christian Farmers' Federa- tion of Ontario; Treasuer, Steven Thompson, Hullet Twp.; Chairman legal liaison, Ken McGregor; chairman membership, Frank Van- neste, McGillivray Twp.; chairman finance, Everett Ritter, Goderich Twp.; . Chairman public relations, Bill Muchan, Lobo Twp. The executive, together with delegates from each of the participating townships will form the board of directors of the Foodland Hydro Committee. The members also voted to retain the services of Earl A. Cherniak, QC, of Lerner and Associates as legal counsel. The 24 townships and their concerned citizens who make up the Foodland Hydro -Committee are united in their opposition to Ontario Hydros' plans to pursue the M-1 power corridor from: Bruce County to London, a press release from the committee declared. Avoiding impact on Class 1 agricultural land in south- western Ontario is the committee's paramount concern, in accordant ith the recommendations the Porter Commission and the 1-98-2 - Consolidated Hearing Board. CFFO opposes plan to drop cap. gains tax The Conservative election promise made during last year's federal election to eliminate the capital gains tax on farm land targets the wrong people and will have unacceptable effects in both the short and long term, according to the- Christian Farmers' Federation of Ontario. The CFFO provincial board has adopted a formal policy statement calling for the retention of the capital gains tax on farm land. It says the tax should stay both for the sake of agriculture and in the interest of fairness in public policy. , "Farm policy should not help those going out of business at the expense of beginning and struggling entrepreneurs," the statement says. "The elimination of the tax is not designed to help farm entre- preneurs deal with the risk of agricultural production or marketing." It says that beginning farmers would be seriously disadvantaged by the proposal since they would have . to compete for land with investors seeking a tax- free capital gain by holding farm land. The federation is opposed to encouraging investors to purchase farms, since more investor ownership of foodland will force more farmers to lease, it explains, It fears this will lead to degradation of the foodland, since Ontario does not have a tradition of long-term leases. According to the CFFO, existing policies allowing family 'farmers to defer capital gains taxes on farm land when it is sold within- the ithinthe family and allowing a roll-over of $120,000 of capital gains into an RRSP provide enough of a tax shelter. - "II MIN 1--.1 ■ GOOD THINGS 1 ■ HAPPEN ' WHEN YOU HELP 1 1 RED CROSSI 1 OPEN HOUSE at MIKE SNOBELEN HEADQUARTERS in Kincardine, Mildmay, Port Elgin, Wingham Thurs., April 25, 1985 From 1-4 p.m. Drop in for a coffee and doughnuts EVERYONE'S, WELCOME to a BBQ. at MIKE SNOBELEN'S FARM SUNDAY, APRIL 27 12:30 pm to 3 pm Farm is located on 4th Concession of hhuron, 21/2 miles east of Highway 21 [turn at Pine River Churchj.
