We still hold that view but a few reservations have crept in. At the information meeting of the concerned farmers of the United Townships, who have done a wonderful job of getting 4-H girls work on patterns (by Wendy Meidinger) Th'e four 4-H Club was held at Cathy Hamather's home at 7 p.m. on February 24. We started the meeting with the 4-H Pledge. Pam O'Brien read us the minutes and moved by Lesley Hogg. For the rest of the meeting we worked on our sewing samples and patterns. The next meeting was to be held at Cathy Hamather's at 7 p.m. on March 3. public support for this cause, we were told that support was obtained from the labour move- ment, from the Consumers Association and from Mrs. Plumtre of the Food Prices Review Board. That is where the reservations crept into my mind. Let's look at them one by one, First the labour movement. Yes, I believe they want to preserve land, but I don't bel- ieve that they are so concerned about the starving foreigners. Harsh judgement? Yes, but look at the facts. When ships are lying in Vancouver Harbour to be loaded with grain for Bangladesch and a strike by labour prevents the loading, they are supported by the labour movement, regardless that thousands are dying in far count- ries because they have a right for a dollar an hour more, so they can buy a late model car. They use these unfortunates as a lever for a higher income. They want to preserve food producing land, so we will have over -production and they will have cheap food. Of course I accept those who are sincere. The Consumers Association, as well as Mrs. Plumtre are only thinking of cheap food and the pious statements that they want the farmer to have a decent in- come does not mean a thing. They have shown their disint- erest and even their opposition to farmers getting a decent income too often to be believed, Why else the vicious attacks on marketing boards, which is nothing more than us getting a decent income. They even begrudge us our cost of product- ion. In the meantime we can work together to convince the Ontario government that gener- ating stations should not be built in Southern Ontario, but let's not forget their motive. I read in the paper that Kent county citizens protest a gener- ating plant. They are right, it doesn't belong in Southern Ont- ario. If no plant is built it mean transmission lines from outside. If it is built it means transmiss- ion corridors fron inside.
