Hydro
to expropriate
corridor land,
andar
PRICE: 1S CENTS
The jousting between arca farmers and
Ontario Hydro over the Douglas Point•to-
Scaforth power corridor has ended and the
hand-to-hand combat seems about to
begin.
It is nearly two years since the farmers
first began organizing to tight the power
line. Environment Minister William
Newman revealed Monday that the Ontario
government has ordered expropriation of
the needed land on the route of the
corridor. He said that offers will he made
itltin 30 days for the strip of laud which
passes locally through the eastern part of
Morris and Huilett townships.
Expropriation procedures %will let farm.
crs light their case for better compensation
in court.
Although Hydro sought a 900 -loot wide
corridor along the first leg of the route,
only 500 feet will be needed for several
years and the remainder will remain in the
farmers' estates, he said.
The right-of-way of the second leg
originally proposed at a 540 -foot width
will be reduced to 490 feet following tierce
complaints by farmers about the disruption
of agricultural land.
".The proposed expropriations as mod-
ified are fair, sound and reasonably
necessary in the achievement of the
objectives of Ontario Hydro," the minister

Meeting shows farm voters
unimpressed by candidates
BY KEiTH ROULSTON
If Thursday night's meet the candidates
night in Clinton sponsored by the Huron
County Federation of Agriculture is any
indication, Huron county farmers aren't
very impressed with the farm platforms of
any of the three candidates in Huron -
Middlesex riding.
The pent up frustration arca farmers
seemed to be given a voice by a young
farrier Ed Krauter of Ethel when in an
emotional outburst he told the three
candidates on the platform after nearly two
hours of speaches: "You people are really
remote from the farm problems. All this
talking isn't going to help me."
In a nearly five minute torrent of words
he told of the frustration of a young farmer
trying to build a life for himself; of trying to
get loans from banks without the security
of knowing what prices he would be -getting
for his produce in the next year; of high
interest rates; of insecurity. Even the
promises the candidates were making, he
said would not help for four or five years
and by five years from now, he predicted,
there would be only half as many farmers
on the land as there are now.
The high prices offered for his land, he
said, tempted him to sell but the Ontario
government's new land speculation killed
even that prospect. He explained he had
been offered $115,000 for his farm that he
had paid $19,000 for seven years ago. He
said that because he did not live on the

morning. About 200 attended the event. 1 first time he nad danced in a competition,
farm property, he would have to pay the
government $45,000 in taxation if he sold.
Thus, he said, he was locked into a
business where he had little future.
He received the loudest applause of
the night for the speach and one lady in the
audience asked if he would like to run an
independent candidate.
He was joined in his outburst by another
young Ethel -area farmer who said all three
candidates didn't seen very excited about
farm problems. "it's time the government
got excited, he said. He said that
Canadians should demand a future of
protection of natural resources and farming
since they were basic to lift. People needed
heat to keep them warm in winter and food
to keep them alive, he said, and
government policy should be based on
protection of these.
The evening started off with short
speaches from each of the candidates
followed by rebuttals from each,
John Lyndon, the Liberal candidate was
first to speak and said though farm income
had increased beyond expectations last
year from costs of fertilizer and even taxes
had stripped away nearly all the profits. He
called for a stop to the rapid eating up of
farmland for urban purposes. He said the
Liberals would increase the amount of
money available to young farmers to. He
confessed that as a business man he could
understand the business side of farming
but that he could never operate a farm
himself.
Robert McKinley the incumbent in the
riding for the Conservatives said he had
tried to do much in the past to help farmers
such as fight for better milk prices and help
market discoloured and split beans.
He claimed that wage and price controls
were needed or the country would face a
serious recession and unemployment, He
promised that farmers prices wouldn't be
frozen under the freeze, nor would union
contracts already negotiated, He said that
no one had anything to fear from the
controls. The controls, he said, would help
bring on a future without successive highs
and lows.
Shirley Weary, the N.D.P. candidate
claimed sound agricultural policies were
needed to stabilize supply and price. She
said the N.D.P. platform called for a
comprehensive program to increase farm
incomes, for national marketing boards
and for a more efficient rail system.
In a country like Canada. she said, there
was no excuse for the violent swings in
farm prices. She pointed out that in three
years the farmers price for hogs went from
37 cents a pound to 19 cents to 60 cents and
back to 37 cents. Yet, she said, though hog
prices were low, retail prices were still
high. Supply and demand only seem to
work for the farmer, she said. If there were
too many cars, she said, you didn't see
General Motors selling at a loss, they just
didn't make more cars.
"Consumers will have reasonable and
stable food costs only if farmers have
reasonable and stable incomes," Mrs.
Weary said.
She blasted the government's new feed

Recently Clare Vincent of

Editorial
Let's get to the real
roots of the problem
Amid a great deal of political hot air released last Thursday night at
the Huron Federation of Agriculture candidates night meeting, there
were a few common sense things said, and hardly any of them were by
the candidates,
Probably the elan who hit the nail on the head best during the long
evening was Carl Hemingway of Brussels. The former ficldman for the
Federation of Agriculture, former N.D.P. candidate and now full-time
farmer said that there have been only two years in which he has made a
good profit on the farm (1951 and 1973) and both years have been
because food prices were fair.
Mr. Hemingway told the politicians that they could talk all they
wanted about farm subsidies and loan plans and stabilization plans,
but the farmer is not going to be in a good position until he gets a fair
price for his goods.
How right he is.
There is one solution and only one solution to the problems of
farmers today: give them a good price for their goods, Give the farmer
the chance to be like any other manufacturer, to take his costs of
production into account and add a reasonable profit and sell at that
price.
All the major parties have been talking about inflation but they have
refused to get right to the heart of the problem. The most essential
What alternative
do we have?
Critical reaction to the government's plan to take over all passenger
rail transportation in Canada was quick in coking last week.
Not only the opposition parties but newspapers such as the Globe
and Mail jumped on the government for the suggested. They all
agreed, of course, that something needed to be done about the present
situation (it would be hard to argue against that) but they disagreed
with the government's method of action.
Most critics claimed that the government instead of taking over the
service should simply force the two rail companies to provide better
service.
They are absolutely right when they point out that the railways have
deliberately discouraged use of the railways' passenger services over
the past decade. Through horrid service, poor scheduling and poor
equipment the railways actually drove people into their cars or 'to
buses. They wanted to concentrate their resources instead in freight,
where there was plenty of money and not so much trublc. The railways
deserve to be rapped on the knuckles, to be told they have to sharpen
up and provide good service and reinstate service to areas such as
Western Ontario,
But ow do you do it? The old saying is that you can lead a horse to
water but you can't make him drink. isn't it this way with the railways?
If they don't want to operate passenger service but arc forced to, we
can expect continuation of the kind of thing we've been getting for the
past decade.
Sure, it's upsetting to think of yet another crown corporation but
what choice do we have? Frankly, it looks like a good bet.
Separate board
has, real courage
The Huron -Perth Separate School Board has shown a kind of courage
seen very seldom in school boards these days.
At a recent meeting the school board cut back the number of teacher
professional days from a proposed nine days to six.
Teacher professional days are days used by the teachers to improve
the teaching tools of the teachers. On the surface, it would seem to be a
step backw ird, depriving the teachers of additional training to help the
students.
But just how many professional days do the teachers need? It seems
only a few years ago when teachers had only one professional day per
year. Now, the Department of Education approves as many as nine
days per year.
Already teachers and students arc out of class for two to two and a
half months during the summer, eight to 10 days at Christmas, a week
for winter break, and all statuatory holidays in between. Now as much
as another nine days may be lost through professional development
days.
Some may argue that these days could be held in the summer
holidays. Teachers may conter by saying that some teachers are busy
taking courses during the summer and besides, the development days
should be held during the school year so the teachers can immediately
translate their new knowledge into action in the classroom. This is
partly true, but how does it explain the fact that in some areas students
were out of school a week earlier than in others because teachers were
attending development days all week?
Let's not play down the importance of teachers, or minimize the
difficulty of their job. Teaching is a tough mental job and teachers need
a break to get their heads back in shape every now and then. But there
are many other demanding mental occupations in both the public and
private sector that are equally strenuous, and do not have the
compensations either in monetary terms, nor in benefits such av
nearly three months of vacation a year. And there are very few jobs
outside of teaching where nine days a year arc set aside for upde+'.,,g
training.
We don't need an anti -teacher bias, but at the same time it seems
that the pendulum has swung too far from the days when teachers were
underpaid and overworked. It's time to find a middle ground where
teacher. student and taxpayer are all treated fairly,
service in the world is farming. Without farming, we don't need
politicians, we don't need newspapers, we don't tied steel factories or
supermarkets. Without farming we don't eat, and if we don't eat, we
don't need any other service,
But our fansy clan, high priced politicians can't sec what the ordinary
farmer can. They tinker with the problem without going right to the
bottom and solving the problem. The most important place to start is
on the farm. If we don't like the high cost of food, then reduce the
farmers input costs: the cost of equipment, of fertilizer, of twine. Then,
find a way of se cing that the prices for all farm produce are set so as to
include the costs and the kind of profit anyone else would expect for the
same work and investment. If you can fix that first cog, the rest of the
machine will start to run a lot more smoothly and you can move on to
other problems.
None of the parties seem to be interested, Of the three the N.D.P. is
the only one advocating cost plus pricing, yet the N.D.P. has birtually
no rural base anymore and how much chance does this policy stand if
the consumers, the trade unions who pay the party bills decide they
want cheap food.
People don't want this election and the major reason seems to be
that they don't want to have to make a decision between three part its
when not one of them offers real solutions.
BY BILL SMILEY
Both teachers and students
look forward eagerly to the end of
the school year, for different
reasons,
For the students, cspeeialy the
younger ones, it's like a rebirth to
get out into 'that beautiful June.

that cranky teacher, They go
belting out that door on the last
day like bees coating out of a

ones, expecially the girls, will

"Have a good summer, Mr.

slap -dash, jostling mob, with
never a look behind.
And who can blame them? It's
been a long ten months. They
want to get out and do sonic real

even in these permissive days,

unfortunately, a simple bore.

Farm voters would just as soon not make choice
Given the choice, it seems that Huron
county farm voters would just as soon not
have the choice,
That seems to be the way things are as
indicated by the farm mood at the Huron
Federation of Agriculture's candidates
night last week, At one point, a lady asked
if an angry farmer in the audience would
consider running for Parliament as an
independent in the July 8 election and it
seemed that if he did, he would get a good
many farm votes.
The stood of the people seems to be that
acre is just no confidence in any of the
parties or in any of the candidates. Even
Robert McKinley, the M.P. who won by
10,000 votes the last time out, didn't seem
to impress the farmers at the meeting.
Time and time again as the three
candidates droned on trying to make an
impressin there was a buzz going through
the audience as disgusted farmers and
their wives talked about other things.
Applause was just polite at the best for the
candidates and the only enthusiasm
seemed to be for two young farmers from
Ethel who expressed their displeasure with
the state of farming, with government
intervention and with all three party
policies,
Of the three candidates, Mrs. Weary
probably made the most positive impres-
sion, It's her third time around for the
N.D.P. and she has advanced from the
point of being an embarassed school
teacher at earlier farm meetings when
questions were asked, to being quite
knowlegeable about farm problems and
farm facts. Mr. McKinley said basically the
same things he's been saying for the last
decade and people seemed to want to hear
something new, Mr. Lyndon just talked.,.,
and talked.,.,and talked.
But none of the three offered farmers
any realistic hope that they would find

solutions to the problems, especially find
solutions quickly enough to save many:
farmers who are being faced withligh costs.
and declining prices, One farmer predicted
the farm population would be halfed in the
next five years. Ironically that's also how
long it is likely to be before another
election if a majority government is
elected. For that reason, farmers are not
likely to contribute to a majority. They arc
fed up enough with all the parties not to
vote in a block for any one. The
Conservatives can be expected to win
Huron riding, for instance, but he majority.
may not be as large as some might think,
Resentment over the policy of a wage and
price freeze seemed widely prevalent in the
audience last week. Likewise the N.D.P.
will likely win a few farm scats though the
farm vote will likely be unenthusiastic,
Ditto for the Liberals.
The time would seem to be right for a
new farm -based politcal party to appear un
the horizon. Since the merger of the C.C.F.
into the N.D.P. there has been no party
where the farmer could really feel he had a
strong voice. Conservatives, Liberals, and
N.D.P. are all dominated by urban
thinking.
Despite his strong voice, Federal
Agricultural Minister Eugene Whelan has
had a hard time getting his policies
adopted by the Liberal cabinet headed by
such big city lawyers and financiers as
John Turner and Donald McDonald. In the
Windsor area there is even talk that
Whelan may be in trouble in his own riding
because a large part of the' voters are from
urban (and union -strong) Windsor.
Likewise, Conservative Jack Horner and
Robert McKinley himself, have had
problems having their voices heard in the
Conservative caucus on the need for farm
policies.
Horner is already reportedly planning to
form a new party and•if he comes up with
policies designed for farmers all over
Canada, not just the west, we could see a
shake-up of the political structure for the
first time in a decade.
White to battle federal government in courts
BY MURRAY GAUNT, M.P.P.
IUURON•BRUCEJ
Ontario Treasurer John White vowed to
take the Federal Government to court over
the Province's land specualtion tax after
the Federal Department of National
Revenue officials said they don't consider
the Province's 50 per cent tax on
speculative land profits to be deductible
from federal corporate and income taxes.
They said it was an income tax not a tax on
land despite its name.
The difference is that companies could
find themselves paying up to 110 per cent
of their profits on land sales in taxes.
An interim report by the Legislature's
Public Accounts Committee is critical of
the management of the Ontario Northland
Transportation Commission.
The report released this week concluded
in part: "The Committee is of the opinion
that the Commission has been lax in
developing definite guidelines with respect
to policy and administrative practices for
the benefit of management.
The Committee also agreed that
accounting practices should be brought up
to recognized standards, particularly with
respect to inventory and cash control."
A report to the Ontario Government
recommending more erosion of municipal
control over sand and gravel extraction has
been made public recently.
The report, prepared for Queen's Park
by the consulting engineering firm of
Proctor and Redfern Ltd. emphasizes that a
crisis in sand and gravel supply can be
expected in 20 years in the Toronto
Centred Region.
The total effect of the recommendations
in the report would be to remove control
over gravel operations and zoning from
local municipalities and rest it largely with
the Province.
The GAINS Bill, to provide a guaranteed
annual income for senior citizens, the blind
and disabled, was given second reading
the Legislature this week. It goes into
effect in July.
The purpose is to ensure a minimum
income of $2,600 per year for a qualifying
single person and $5,200 per year for a
married couple, where both spouses
qualify.
The Legislature has been dealing with
Bills most of the week, along with the
Estimates of the Ministries of Community
and Social Services and Colleges and
Universities.
The Honourable John MacBeth, Labour
Minister, announced changes in the
Workmen's Compensation Act which will
benefit those workers receiving penions
from the Workmen's Compensation Board,
as those pensions have been depreciated
by inflation.
The pensions, which are presently in
existence, will be increased by a maxiniuni
of 60 per cent based on the following
formula: for all persons who became
eligible for disability pensions, during 1973
their pensions will be increased by 4 per
cent during 1972 their pensions will be
increased by 8 per cent during 1971 their
pensions will be increased by 10 per cent,
and for each further year a person has been
eligible for he disability pension prior to
January 1, 1971, it will be increased by an
additional 2 per cent a year t0 a maximum

0 Fight against Soviet policies gets action
BY EDWIN ROTH
The political fight in Britain against
Soviet cultural propaganda with : the
present London visit of a Moscow Bolshoi
Ballet has achieved a great human success,
which was a climbdown by the Russian
government. To diminish the demontra-
tions against the Bolshoi Ballet's London
visit, the Kremlin gave the famous Jewish
ballet dancer Valery Panov and his
non-Jewish wife Galina permission to
emigrate to Israel - for which they had
applied more than two years ago.
This permission's timing proved beyond
all doubt that it was given only because the
Kremlin wanted to counteract the London
demonstrations,
Until March, 1972, Valery Panov was the
leading dancer in the famous Leningrad
Kirov Ballet, in which Galina was a solo
dancer. When they applied in March, 1972,
for permission to emigrate to Israel, they
were immediately fired from the Kirov
Ballet, but they got no exit permit,
After some time, Panov was told he
could leave, but only without Galina, who
would have to remain in Russia. Panov
refused to leave his wife.
The London demonstrations planned
against the Bolshoi visit were on two
separate levies: artistic, because Panov is a
world-famous artist; and Jewish, because
Panov is a Jew, and the Soviet authorities
had made his permission to leave (an
elementary human right in any civilized
society!) dependent on the destruction of
his marriage.'
N1.tny of Britain's. most. famous artists,
among them the actors Sir Laurence Olivier
(Lord Olivier) and Sir John Gielgud, and
the always very pro -Russian doyenne of
Britain's theatre Dame Sybil Thorndyke,
made Public protests against the Krem—
lin's inhumanity to the Panovs. The
declared publicly that they would boycott
the Bolshoi Ballet, and would participate in
demonstrations against its London visit.
Last week, Prime Minister Harold
Wilson said in a broadcast he had told
Soviet Prime Minister Alexei Kosygin that
the Bolshoi Ballet's visit would be more
acceptable to the British people "including
myself because I would like to see it" - if
the Panovs were allowed their freedom.
Because the ballet's visit is an exercise in
cultural propaganda, the Russian Govern-
ment very much wants Wilson to attend at
least one performance - which would mean
Wilson crossing Jewish Picket lines.
By giving the Panovs permission to
leave, the Kremlin has prevented the
demonstrations of famous artists -who
apparently were angry because the artist
Panov was deprived of elementary human
rights, and not because such elementary
human rights don't exist for millions of
other people. But if the Kremlin believed
that letting the Panovs leave would stop
the ' Jewish demonstrations, it was
mistaken.
The organizers of the Jewish demonstra-
tins have declared that these demonstra-
tions will be held throughout the ballet's
six-week London visit - because they arc
demonstrations not merely for one famous
Jewish artist, but against the whole
principle of Soviet persecutions and
totalitarianism. •
The organizers of the demonstrations
want them to be an intelligently 'articulate,
non-violent, dignified "counter -public -
relations" exercise. Their idea is not
masses of demonstrators or militancy, but
effect on the new media.
As the London police must fear Arab
terrorist attacks on the Jewish demonstra-
tors, the large numbers of policemen
outside the theatre creates the opposite of
the atmosphere wanted by the Kremlin.
Already the Jewish demonstrations have
achieved an enormous discussion of Soviet
tyranny in all news media.
Besides drawing attention to the
persecution of Jews in the Soviet Union,
these demonstrations have also recalled
horrors which the Kremlin wants the world
to forget -for example, the military
occupation of Czechosiovakia, and the
Russian murder of thousands of Polish
officer prisoners of war in the Katyn forest.
The Kremlin regards the propaganda
value of the Bolshoi Ballet's London visit as
specialy important because the eastern
policy of West Germany's new Chancellor
Helmut Schmidt is very different from that
of his predecessor Willy Brandt, For many
reasons, Russia now needs good relations
with the West very much more than the
West needs good relations with Russia.
Perhaps what infuriates the Kremlin
rulers most are the full implications of a
sermon by the head of the Roman Catholic
Church in Britain, Cardinal John Heenan •

catalysts for much more.

From the
Minister's Study
BY TED HOOGSTEEN, BLYTH CHRISTIAN REFORMED CHURCH
In the resurrection from the dead, God made Jesus Lord of all life,
All authority was given to Christ, and he, from his place with the
Father, grants power and authority to the men and women of the earth.
"For there is no authority except from God, and those that exist have
been instituted by God. Therefore he who resists the authorities resists
what God has appointed, and those who resist will incur judgement."
(Rom. 13.1f.) This, of course, applies expecially to the various
branches of government; the men elected to ruling positions must do so
in obedience to the Lord, and the electors must have respect for the
men in office.
Respect, however, for the laws enjoined upon us is difficult to
maintain, in particular as this applies to the traffic regulations in our
village. Why must trucks and automobiles race along our plain street,
and even residential streets, without hardly diminishing speed? Where
is the constabulary to enforce the traffic regulations? The Iifc of a child
killed or maimed by speeding motorists is not worth the seconds saved
or the opportunity to show off a set of wheels.
'rhe power of the government lies in its administration of justice, just
'and equitable for all, for children as well as adults; this is its God-given
task, and should it refuse or ignore this mandate there will be
judgement, The words of Scripture are sure: "Let every person be
subject to the government authorities." (Rom. 13.1) This has great
implications for the council of the village and for the residents of our
village and for the travellers who use our streets.

Gaunt tells legislature
farmers need' stability
Huron•Bruce MPP, Murray
Gaunt addressed the Ontario
Legislature recently on farmers
incomes, He reminded the
Parliament that 1973 was the best
year ever for farmers in terms of
actual dollars. The average
income for every farmer in the
province was $7,600 not including
off -farm income, reported Mr.
Gaunt.
"In farmers' terms that is a
good year although many other
people in our society would view
that as a very modest income
indeed, given the fact that it had
to serve as a return for
management skills and capital
investments as well as labour,"
said Mr, Gaunt. "Further out of
this money has to come funds for
any expansion or improvements
of the oepration. When all these
things are considered the farmer
is still behind in terms of most
other people in our society."
The agricultural critic pointed
out that many forces came'
together at the same time to push
p ices up. The International
Monetary Fund changed and'
suddenly foreign buyers could
afford to pay 25 to 30 per cent
more for our food. More droughts
and crop failures hit world-wide
agriculture than at any other time
in recent history. He added that
50 per cent of the price increases
were due to the price increase of
gas and oil.
Mr. Gaunt mentioned that farm
input costs were having a very
unsettling effect'. He added that
they are producing a feeling of
uncertainty, uneasiness, and los
of confidence in the stability of
the marketplace.
Farmers are being encouraged
to produce more food because of
the threatened food shortage
should the country suffer another
crop failure. Yet they are hesitant
to do so because of the bad
experience they have had with
overproduction, surpluses, low
prices and sometimes bank-
ruptcy.
"The farmers input prices have
gone up tremendously in the last
12 months," said Mr, Gaunt.
"Baler twine has risen to three
times last summer's price and the
shortage of steel has driven the
cost of farm machinery up." \
"The energy crisis has
substantially shot up costs to the
farmer," remarked the Huron
Bruce member. "Agriculture is
basically an industry that runs on
energy. Agriculture is the biggest
single consumer of oil products.
Agriculture production will be
inhibited by the effects of
shortages and higher prices for
fossil fuels, fertilizers and
chemicals."
His address climaxed on the
government's responsibility to
the farmers both federally and
provincially.
"Farmers see all these things
happening and it makes for a
great deal of uncertainty and
insecurity. This feeling I would
say, is widespread among far-
mers. I think it is the govern-
ments's responsibility both
federally and provincially to bring
some stability into the situation,"
he said.
Farmers upset over
failure to increase
milk prices
Ontario industrial milk ship-
pers are angry that the federal
government has stalled any milk
price increase until after the
election.
A request by the Dairy Farmers
of Canada for an immediate
increase was refused in an Ottawa
meeting with three cabinet
ministers yesterday. The Dairy
Farmers of Canada, the milk
producers' lobby group, asked
that the guaranteed farm price be
increased from $8.50 to $10 per
hundredweight.
"We can't wait any longer for
an increase," says Merrickville
milk producer Peter Empey.
Empey is a director of the
Grenville Federation of AGricul-
ture. "We. need what we asked
for. That's $10 per hundred-
weight based on the cost of
producing milk last April 1. Skim
milk powder, cheese, butter, and
the full range of processed milk
products will not be in the stores
unless farmers can afford to
produce the milk."
"The cost of feeding and
keeping a milking herd is
climbing steadily. Even after the
April 1 incerase, milk returns are
already lagging behind produc-
tion costs by $2 per hundred-
weight on many farms,". says

new feed
grains policy,
The federal government's new Feed Grains Policy becomes effective
August 1, 1974. Whether you area producer or user, the new policy
is designed to meet your needs by:
• providing a fair and equitable base price for feed grain's across
Canada;
• encouraging growth of grain and livestock production according
to natural potential;
• maintaining order and stability throughout the grain and livestock
sectors.
MAIN FEATURES:
• farmers will have direct access to feed grains in all parts of Canada;
buyers are free to shop for the best bargain, sellers are free to find
the best price for their crops;
• a nation-wide information system through the Canadian Livestock
Feed Board will keep everyone informed on selling prices across
the country;
• the Canadian Wheat Board will continue to be the sole buyer and
seller of feed grain for export market;
• prairie producers have the choice of selling their grain to the CWB
or to others on the domestic market;
• cash advance payments and initial payments, similar to those
provided to Prairie grain producers for many years, will be extended
to growers across the country to encourage feed grain production;
• a new storage program, costing the federal government $40 million
a year, will be instituted to provide for security of supplies for
Canadian markets; it will also lead to additional grain storage on
the West Coast, in inland terminals, on the Great Lakes and the
St. Lawrence and in the Maritimes;
• steps will be taken to bring into balance freight rates between meat
and grain; this will progress according to trends in grain and
livestock prices, and the degree of regional self-sufficiency in
grain production.

Role of priest at R.C.
BY WILMA OKE
The possibility of having an
observer from the clergy appoint-
ed to represent the Roman
Catholic clergy on the Huron -
Perth County Roman Catholic
Separate School Board will be
discussed at a committee of the
whole at the next board meeting.
The request for this appoint-
ment to be made by the Dean of
the Huron -Perth Deanery was
made by Howard Shantzoof,
Stratford, The priest would be
eligible to be present at all
meetings of the board but would
not be permitted to vote.
Mr. Shantz stated that since it
is a separate school board and
that the only reason for its 1
existence is the Catholic religion,
then a priest should be in'
attendance at all meetings and
could serve as a resource person
in matters pertaining to the
Catholic faith.
Not all of the trustees approved
of the idea, Joseph Looby of
Dublin said that "if a priest wants
my seat on the board then let hint
run for it (at the next election)".
The board will ask the Ministry
of Transportation and Commun-
ications and the Township of
Hibbert to have the road in front
of St. Patrick's Separate School,
Dublin, marked 30 -mile per hour
zone speed limit. It is a 45 -mile
zone at the present time. They
want cross -walks across the road
which is the main street of Dublin
and a county road as well. "We
want the children protected,"
Joseph Looby said.
Donald Crowley of Gadshill,
chairman of the transportation
committee, questioned if the local
council would want to change the
45 -mile zone because with it cars
must stop when the school bus is
loading or unloading pupils. The
separate school bus docs not
unload on the main street buy the
Huron County Board of Education
1 bus docs, "We would have
protection for our children", Mr,
Crowley said, "but don't you
think the village council would
have a responsibility to protect all
children, public or separate."
"All we want is to protect our
children, let the Public School
look after their own," Mr. Looby
replied,
"Let's do what we can ;or our
children. What we want is a
30 -mile zone in front of our school
and crosswalks," said Michael
Connolly, Kippen, chairman of
Ithc board.
Howard Shantz reported that
he hoped the landscaping at St.
Aloysius School, Stratford, would
be completed in two weeks.
The Board will permit Student
l Accident Insurance to be offered
to the parents, who wish to take it
out for their children, in
September by the Frank Cowan
Company Ltd. of Princeton, and
to be underwritten by Commer-
cial Union Assurance Group.
Jack Lane informed the trus•
-
tees that this insurance is'
primarily for teeth or the loss of a
limb,
The Board will notify its school
bus drivers not to use the bridge'
on Sidcroad 20 in Hibbert
Township which has a five -ton
limit. Mr. Looby is to enquire
about the bridge and see if a
ten -ton limit would be applied
instead.

School at Kingsbridge has resign-
ed as custodian, effective July 15,

rator, reported on a seminar he I

Beef producers
want beef quota
Beef producers are asking for a
quota to limit the amount of U.S.
beef and slaughter cattle allowed
onto the Canadian market. Today,
the Ontario Federation of Agri-
culture is sending a letter to
Agriculture Minister Eugene
Whelan backing demands for
quotas made by the Ontario Beef
Improvment Association and the
Canadian Cattlemens Associa-
tion.
O.F.A. President Gordon Hill
points out the need for quotas has
become acut this spring. Morey
than 66,000 head of U.S.
slaughter cattle were imported by
mid-April. This is more than four
times the previous record number
imported during the first quarter.
Beef producers also seek a hike
in the tariff against imported U.S.
beef and live cattle equal to the
U.S. tariff against Canadian beef.
U.S. imports dropped off in
recent weeks after Canada
banned imports of all diethylstil-
bestrol -treated cattle. However,
Canadian producers forsee a
possible resurge of U.S. imports
if U.S. officials meet Canadian
government standards and certify
the cattle which have not been
given the growth -speeding drug.
"Our border must not be left
open to an unlimited flow of
depressed -priced U.S. beef, if
U.S. cattle arc certified as
'DES -free, and flood into Canada
in uncontrolled numbers, our
market price could drop by $10
per cwt. warns William Benson.
A Palmerston beef producer,
Benson is a director of the
Ontario Federation of Agricul-
ture.
"If this happens, every dollar
producers have made in the last
four years will be lost within the
next six months," says Hill.
However, he cautions producers
not panic -sell their cattle.
"Watch the market carelly and
get the best dollar possible
for
your stock," .
The cost of producing slaughter
cattle in Ontario today is about
$53 per cwt. Producers are paid,
about $5l per cwt. --$48 on the'
market and $3 in federal subsidy.
In the U.S., prices on the glutted
market have dived to about $38,'
The O.F.A. also telegrammed
Whelan insisting that beef groups '
analyse and approve any certifica- .
tion program permitting U.S.
beef imports, before it is
implemented.

A first choice of gardeners for

grow too large for their locations,
and need regular pruning to keep
then within bounds, says D.B.
McNeill, horticultural specialist
for the Ontario Ministry of
Agriculture and Food:
Young evergreens often appear
rather sparse in their new
surroundings, and in the hurry to
"fill in the blank spaces"
gardeners frequently neglect to
prune or shape them. it's a slow
process to grow the plants to the
right size, but all evergreen,
expecially foundation plants,
should be pruned each year.
Mr. McNeill recommends that
pruning be cone when the new
growth appears in June. "Simply
clip back this growth about
one-third to one-half. The prun-
ing action will force out new
growth from the sides and fill in
the plant nicely," he says.
Occasionally, you may have to
prune deeper than just one year's
growth. When this is necessary,
cut back only into second -or
third -year growth, and prune so
that the wound is screened by
other branches,

grains policy saying it would undermine
the Wheat Board. She called for
Nationalization of the Canadian Pacific
Railway to provide efficient transportation
and freight rates that will promote
balanced growth across the nation.
in his rebuttal Mr, Lyndon claimed that
wage and price controls didn't work south
of the border and they wouldn't work in
Canada. It was important to keep the
G.N.P. moving ahead, he said or
unemployment would increase, He took a
cut at socialism saying socialism killed
initiative, that it was not for Canada and he
would fight every inch of the way against
it.
Mr. McKinley asked the audience to
compare the Conservative program of
trying to control costs of input with the
Liberal policy which was, he said, to give
incentives to farmers to produce more
which would bring down the cost of food.
"We've had low cost food before," he
said, "and farmers simply couldn't
produce under those conditions." He said
the policy the government was now
promising to. help young farmers was a
policy stolen from the Conservatives, like
most of their policies were.
Mrs. Weary referring to Mr. Lyndon's
attack on socialism said that he claimed
socialism bred apathy, but in a capitalistic
system we already had apathy, referring to
the poor turnout of about 100 persons at
the meeting,
Questions from the floor ran the whole
gamut of agricultural policies. Blyth's
Adrian Vos asked the candidates how they
stood on stabilization. He said he was in
favour of stabilization but the first plan for
hogs was 'too low.
Mr. McKinley, speaking first, said he
supported the concept but there were many
problems involved and felt stabilization
plans,could only be set up after a good deal
of consultation with farmers.
He said he thought there was room for
improvement in marketing.
Mr, Lyndon said he supported the idea
and felt Canada should be more agressive
in going after export markets, He said ther
may be problems in present stabilization
programs but that in Eugene Whalen
farmers have a good man fighting to solve
their problems.
Mrs. Weary said the N.D.P. is for
stabilization on a cost plus reasonable
mark-up basis through produce -controlled
national marketing boards,
Farm improvement loans and the
reluctance of banks to give them was
brought up. Mr. McKinley explained that
though the government backed the loans
the banks were not happy loaning at the
lower rates when they could loan the same
money at higher rates. Mr. Lyndon said the
government was working on the problem
but the dismissal of Parliament had
delayed 'action. Mrs. Weary said the
government was working on the problem
but the dismissal of Parliament had
delayed action. Mrs. Weary said the
government should insist that money be
made available at lower rates for both
farmers and consumers.
The price of industrial milk was
mentioned and Mrs. Weary said the
N.D.P. would like to see the same price for
industrial and fluid milk. Mr. Lyndon said
he would like to see industrial milk at $10
per hundredweight. Mr. McKinley said the
farmer needs a long -terns dairy policy not a
year to year policy as now.
Farm credit questions brought Mr.
Lyndon to say that credit should be
• unlimited to farmer. Mrs. Weary said that
many of the problems of the young farmer
' coulu be helped by the N.D.P. policy to bus
up farms from retiring farmers and either
lease, or sell to young farmers.
The problem of vertical integration, of
canning companies growing their ' own
sweet corn and of feed companies putting
hogs out on contract was brought out, Mr.
McKinley said he would like to see the
practice discouraged but thought it would
be hard to control without severe
legislation. Mr. Lyndon said it was hard to
blamr. farmer who took the contracts to
take the gamble out of farming.
Mrs. Weary said vertical integrations
benefits only the large coporationi and
hurts the farmer. He would do much
better, she said, if he knew he could get his
costs back plus a profit without signing
a contract.
Carl Hemingway of Brussels, former
Huron Federation fieldman and a former
N,D.P. candidate said that in his farming
career there have been only two years
when he has made a profit from farming, in
1951 and 1973 and both years, he said, it
was because of high prices, not subsidies.
Subsidies help one farnier but hurt
another, he said. Low interest loans help
the farmer who is borrowing but hurt his
neighbour who isn't, he said.
There would be no trouble getting
financing for farming, he said, if the
farmer could show a profit.
Hydro to expropriate corridor land
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1
reported in a statement signed last week
and released Monday.
Farmers wanted a different route picked,
but Mr. Newman said the additional cost of
roughly $5 million would not achieve an
appreciable saving in arable land and
would probably create other disruptions.
Murray Gaunt (L-Huron-Brucc), who
campaigned against Hydro's chosen route,
said an ideal solution would have been a
re-routing. But he was pleased that the
protesters at least accomplished a
reduction in the corridor width.
"That is a concession that is helpful," he
said' following Mr, Newman's disclosure.
The minister said if settlements cannot
be 'reached voluntarily for the power
corridor within a month, the Ontario Land
Compensation Board will arbitrate agree-
ments.
Hydro will buy up the strip through parts
of the townships of Bruce, Greenock and
Culross in the County of Bruce and the
townships of Turnberry, Morris, Hullett
and McKillop in Huron.
Mr. Newnan said he ordering expropria-
tion on the basis of a report by inquiry ,
officer M.A. Craig, which he received last
April.
The minister acknowledged the object-
ions by farmers who claimed the line would
disrupt the use of the land for agricultural
purposes.
"The evidence summarized in the report
of the inquiry officer indicates that Ontario
Hydro, in settling on the route, took into
consideration many more land -use factors
than the single land -use factor of
disruption of prime agricultural land," Mr.
Newman reported.
'Mese additional factors included the
number of river crossings, the number of
diagonal severances of land, the total
number of properties affected, the number
of buildings affected and the other uses
affected,
"The evidence indicated that the
Women's Institute holds Family Affairs meeting
alternate route proposed by some of the
owners would have met all the criteria,
except interference with prime agricultural
land, more poorly than the route proposed
by Hydro,
"In addition," the minister said, "the
effect on prime agricultural land of the
additional length of transmission line
required at the southerly end of the
(alternate) route and in connection with the
Town of Wingham and the Wingharn
transfer station were not taken into
consideration and might result in as much
or more prime agricultural land being
disrupted as on the route proposed by
Hydro.
"In addition, the alternate route is
estimated ,o cost $5 million more,"
Mr. Newman said he expects Hydro wilt .y
follow its usual course of leasing back' the
property between the transmission towers
to the farmers for a nominal annual fee so =.
that as little farmland as possible will go
out of production.

80th Anniversary
Eighty years is a long time:
This family tradition began in 1894 by Allan Bert Bainton,
Frank Bainton Sr. and their sister Jean Bainton. Our memory
of years gone by recalls that many old established wool and
leather businesses have gone due to various reasons - foreign
Competition, competition from synthetic and man made
fibres, financial problems, etc.
The belief which our predecessors had in the future of the
wool and leather business still exists in the management of
today. We must give credit to the originators for instilling this
belief in us, We recall many other problems and difficulties
that have been overcome through the years to continue this
wool and leather business - the oldest in its field in Canada -

Come to our authentic Old Mill in Blyth (at the railway
tracks) and see why after 80 years, Bainton's is still making a

Black days for C.F.L. football fans
For long time fans of the Canadian Football League, these June days
are dark this year when they should be days of happy expectancy for
the coming season,
A year ago the C.F.L. was flying along at its most successful clip
ever. Crowds were getting bigger every year. Star players from the
U.S. were being attracted north of the boarder. Television audiences
far outdistanced those of the American National Football League
games that were shown in Canada.
Suddenly this winter everything began to fall apart and suddenly
instead of looking forward to the start of a new season, we may be
seeing the beginning of the end of the CFL.
It began of course with the emergence of the World Football League
and the subsequent battle between the federal government and John
Bassett of the Toronto team in that league with the government and
John Bassett of the Toronto team in that league with the government
trying to protect the C.F.L., at the request of C.F.L. team owners.
Eventually the government won, but in the battle the C.F.L. got such a
black eye that it may in the end have lost.
That black eye, however, was nothing compared to the one the
league got almost immediately thereafter, The government had made
it plain it would like to see the league expand, to London at once and
Halifax and Quebec City later on. The C.F.L. owners complied,
technically, when they offered a London group a franchise for an
exorbitant $2,7 million, London, of course, gave up, since they would
have to build their own stadium on top of that price.
But while the league owners were saying a new franchise was worth
nearly three million, they were saying at the same time that they
couldn't afford to pay the players better salaries. Hamilton was
claiming it couldn't pay players for two extra games the team would
play this year over last year's schedule. And now the players are on
strike because the teams say they can't pay preseason and post season.
pay demands which seem emminently fair to most observers.
While the league justified the big cost of a franchise for London by
saying every player was worth at least $30,000 these days, it was
actually playing some Canadian -born players less than $5000 per
season.
The greed of the C.F.L.' in demanding too much for a franchise
means there is little hope for future expansion. The stinginess of the
C,F.L. has probably alienated the players to the point that more than
ever the players will be interested in defecting to the W.F.L.
And finally the fans, the growing number of people who have bought
tickets and watched on television, have been betrayed. Their image of
the C.F.L. has been dirtied. Hopefully the C.F.L. owners will stop
acting like children and start treating both the players and the fans
with respect. If not, the C.F.L. will soon be' dead, and deservedly so.

Ontario has passed a new Consumer
Reporting Act, one of the most im-
portant pieces of consumer legis-
lation in the province's history.
It deals with the reporting, ex-
change and gathering of both credit
and personal information related to
your life-style and character.
It goes into effect July 2, 1974.
After that date you'll have the right
to know what is being reported about
you and to whom. And if the infor-
mation is inaccurate or incomplete,
you'll have the opportunity to cor-
rect it.
This is particularly important be-
cause, today, masses qf information
about your buying, credit and per-
sonal habits are being collected,
stored, and distributed by people
you have never met.
This information can influence
where—or if—you will work, how
much you can borrow, insurance
you can obtain and whether you are
acceptable as a tenant. So your gov-
ernment here in Ontario has passed
the Consumer Reporting Act to en-
sure that you, have access to your
own file.
The Act is designed to protect you,
the consumer, as far as the law can
do so. It guards your basic rights. It
gives you a place to write for help if
you run into problems.
To find out the many ways the
Act works to your advantage, send

Advance polls this weekend
Canadians eligible to vote in
the current general election
actually have three days in which
to cast their ballot, rather than
July 8th. The other two days for •
voting are the advance polls --
Saturday, June 29. and Monday,
July 1.

money for Van Egmond home
Hullett Central Schools stu•

the VanEgmond home in Seaforth
benefited.
Earlier in the school year the
students of Hullett Principal
Angus McLennan had toured the
home in Seaforth that is being
kept as a memorial to the name of
the VanEgmond family, one of
the earliest pioneer families in
Huron. Wednesday they held a

Dairy course set
for Strathroy
"A 5 day week I'or the Dairy
Farmer!„
Wishful thinking, you say, but
why not. Dairy farmers need time
off to attend meetings, for
holidays or just to get a fresh look
at things the same as anyone else.
Trouble is -- the cows need to be
milked seven days a week and
nobody milks the cows as well as
the owner himself. Who can
afford NO'I'to?
With a little planning you too
can take a holiday. Your first stop
• the Western Ontario Dairy
Cattle Day at Strathroy on
Wednesday, July 10. Visit with
two dairymen who have found the
answers to their labour problems.
Verne Towers, R.R. 4, Glencoe
and Bycraft Brothers, R.R. 2,
Ilderton, will tell it like it is. Visit
one of these farms in the morning
and the other after lunch.
Bring your own lunch and at
noon, visit with your neighbours
at the Arena auditorium in
Strathroy. A panel of three arca
dairy farmers and W. H.
Clarkson, director of Agricultural
Manpower Services for Ontario
will discuss "How we can solve
the labour problem",
Keynote speaker is, Dr. L.
Shapley, Farm Labour Specialist
of Michigan State University. He
will discuss the amount of
mechanization and hired labour
that different sizes of dairy farms
can afford. Simply put, how many
more cows must be milked to pay
for a new milking parlor, a
full-time employee or a relief

memorial.
Thursday saw the students turn
over the money to Jini Doig of
Seaforth who supervises the
home. Class spokesman Carol
Jewitt told Mr. Doig that the
money was a token of the
appreciation of the students for
the full guided tour he had given
them' earlier in the year.
The early voting dates are set
forth in the Canada Elections Act
as the ninth and seventh days
before polling day. Other dates
are not possible Under the terms
of the Act.
Because of the summer vaca-
tion timing of election day, the
advance polls assume more•than-
ordinary importance for many
people planning an early July
departure on their holidays.
The eligibility requirements
concerning early voting are
flexible enough to accommodate
virtually anyone on the voters'
list. Anyone having any reason to
believe they will be unable to vote

GRADE 4 ASSEMBLY
Mr. Talbot's Grade 4 class
presented the last assembly
programme of the year, on
Wednesday, June 19. After the
singing of "0 Canada" the first
number was a pollution song
called "Earth, Air and Water."
A short skit called "Three Boos
For Pollution" was next, followed
by a fashion show, of sorts, called
"Pollution On Parade", Jane Bell
presented a step dance, and
another play called "Mother
Runs The Family" was next. The
whole class ended their portion of
the programme by singing three
songs, "ice Cream", "Learn
Everything" and "Summer-
time."
Hullett Central's annual
Awards presentations were made
at this assembly. All students
who, during the year, have won
special recognition in track and
field, public speaking, volley ball,
students' council, or any other
area, were presented with their
trophies or crests or bars. A
complete listing of these pupils
will follow in next week's column.
CAR WASH
Grade 8 students carried on a
new activity on Wednesday
afternoon, June 19, a car wash, to
raise money to donate to the
"Van Egmond Home" at
Seaforth.
The weather was not very
co-operative, but the class had a
good time and washed a fair
number of cars during the
afternoon. It was very probable
that they would have gotten wet,
whether it had rained or not,
b' ut the rain didn't help.
GRADE 5 FiELD TRIP
On Thursday, June 20, Grade 5
students, accompanied by Mrs.
Livingston and Mr. Tremeer
travelled by bus to Kitchener for
a field trip.
Their first top was Weston's
Bakery, which gave the students
a great insight into how the bread
and buns they eat, turn out the
way they do. After the tour,
where machinery at work, they
were allowed to ask questions,
and were given, as souveners, a
fresh roll, a loaf of bread and a

dates.
Not only does this mean that
the elderly and handicapped may
vote June 29 or July 1, but also
vacationers who will be abserrt

Locations of advance polls are

obtained by calling the returning
officer for your district. Advance
poll locations are also printed at
the top of the list of electors

There is no provision for

Behind the scenes
Need for peace and quiet
leading to trouble
BY KEITH ROULSTON
It's summer cottage time. In
the next three months, Canadians
the most cottage -conscious nation
in the world, will be fleeing cities,
towns and villages for the
Iakeshore and the family cottage.
Despite the fact the cost of
cottages has skyrocketed in
recent years due to the lack of
Take -frontage people are still
more than willing to pay the
price. And though most southern
lakes are already Tined with
cottages, records are being set in
sales this year for prefabricated
cottages.
It's to be expected, of course.
Canadians, despite the grumbling
about inflation, arc more affluent
than ever in history. More and
mare of them are being forced to
live in cities, more and more in
highrise apartments. Their need
to get back to nature is strong.
But we have two conflicting
needs about to hit head on one of
these days and the crash is going
to be loud. One is this need to get
back to nature and to own a piece
of ground, The other is the need
to look after nature and to protect
good farm land for the future so
that we will not have to do without
food someday in the future,
The first shots in the latter
battle were fired last week when
the Huron Federation of Agricult-
ure protested an attempt to
change agricultural zoning in
Ashfield township to allow a new
cottage development covering 40
acres.
The farmers pointed out that
the development is scheduled for
good farming land and that we
cannot afford to give up any more
good land. Already farmland is
disappearing at a rate that will
sec all of Ontario's farmland
eaten up by the year 2000.
The farmers pointed up the
Huron Playhouse
begins new season
"The first completely sold out
performance was expected at the
Playhouse for the 1974 opening
night", said Managing Director
James Murphy early in the week.
"It was", he said, "the largest
advance sale in the Company's
history." Likewise, a capacity
crowd is expected at Kincardine's
Town Hall when the opening
night production moves there on
Sunday. The Playhouse opened
its third Season Wednesday with 1
DO I DO musical comedy which
starred Mary Martin and Robert
Preston in its original Broadway
run. 1 DO 1 DO is a play about
marriage. Based on the play "The
Fourposter", it spans 50 years of
a couple's matrimonial life
together, from wedding night
through parenthood to old age.
Although the show is filled with
lyrical song and dance patterns,
its only really well known hit song
is "My Cup Runneth Over with
Love".
Brief highlights from the
musical were presented Saturday
at the Grand Bend pre -season
gala dance by the show's two
stars, Peter J. McConnell and
Patty Gail. The two Toronto based
actor -singers are making appear-
ances at the Playhouse for the fist
time this week. Guiding the two
ultra -versatile performers are
Patricia Carroll -Brown, Guest
Director and Barbara Spence,
Musical Directo and members of
!the Playhouse Company. Mean-
while, rehearsals are underway
for MARY MARY, Jean Kerr's
witty Broadway comedy which
stars John Friesen and Jacqueline
McLeod, with James Murphy
directing. MARY, MARY plays
Wednesday through Saturday at
the Playhouse and moves to
Kincardine Town Hall for a
performance on Sunday, July 7th.
immorality of taking food
producing land out of production
to provide a playground for the
rich of North America while
millions are starving in Africa and
Asia.
Such arguments can't be used
against cottages in areas like
Haliburton, of course where
virtually nothing will grow on the
rock outcroppings. But there
environmental aspects come in.
It's pretty hard to make a septic
tank system work on solid rock.
Therefore, the more cottages that
are built, the more danger there
is of pollution of the small lakes.
On the other hand, what about
the mental health of the millions
of people forced to live in cities
virtually out of touch with nature,
If these people don't have the
chance to escape the country,
don't have a chance for some
privacy, will the strain build up
and increase mental disease in
cities with potentially disastrous
results such as creating more
crime and driving up the suicide
rate.
Perhaps this is overstating a
possibility, but perhaps not.
Something is going to have to be
clone to reconcile the two needs.
The obvious answer is for all
governments to take a far-sighted
enough look to see the need for
decentralizing urban habitation,
to stop huge growth in southern
cities and spread it out into the
northern parts of this province,
into the Maritimes, into western
Canada and to the smaller towns
of Ontario that have been robbed
of their future for the past half
century by big business and big
government.
Unfortunately, since most polit-
icians can't see past today or
tommorrow at the latest, there
seems little chance such action
will be taken.
