Fanners are
concerned.
with future
More than 150 Ontario. farmers made
personal calls on every member of the
Legislative Assembly recently as part of a
major lobbying campaign organized by the
' Ontario Federation of Agriculture.
Farmers are so concerned about the future
of agriculture and its impact on the economy
of Ontario, that they were willing to take time
off the land to come to Queens Park: The
regular order of business was set aside for an
emergency debate. Opposition members
supported the four -point program designed
to improve the agricultural industry in
Ontario, fully recognizing that the health of
the farm sector is directly linked with
economic growth and employment in related
industries.
The OFA recommends 81.567.4 million
emergency payout to red meat producers
based on 1983 production level. In the last
three years, the red meat producers of the
pprovince have been among the hardest bit
farmers in Canada.
The OFA also recommended that the
Ontario Farm Adjustment .Assistance Pro-
gram be continued after 1984 and be
renewable for a three year period. The
eligibility for O,FAAP should •also be
expanded and the interest subsidy be
lowered to 10 per cent froth the present level
of 12 per cent. The OFAAP program was
introduced to assist food producers with low
equity in dealing with high interest rates.
To protect food producers from the rise and
fall of interest rates, the OFA urged the
government to guarantee that producers will
not pay more than the negotiated rate plus
half per cent on operating loans.
The OFA also proposes that loans for
investment in capital items, in buildings and
machinery. be available at eight per cent
interest repayable over 10 years, up to
550,000.
DRIVER LICENCEPHOTOS
Beginning in 1986, photographs will be
required on all Ontario drivers' licences in an
effort to prevent borrowing and theft of
licences. Transportation Minister, James
Snow said the $15.fee for a three-year licence
will increase by $3 to 5. to cover the $6 million
program. It was also announced that the
province will keep a record of all defaulted
speeding and moving violation tickets in a
.:vmputer, to be in a position to force drivers
to ray all fines before renewing their
licences.
This plan could generate more than $4,5
million in revenue front defaulted tickets.
Provincial police have found that many
people who have lost their licences through
.careless or drunken driving are back on the
roads with borrowed licences.
British Columbia, Prince Edward island
and Alberta already require photographs on
drivers' licences.
LEMON LEGISLATION
A wide range of measures designed to help
protect car owners from repair rip-offs and
new -car "lemons" are being considered by
the Ontario Government.
Figures were cited which indicated that
nearly 3,000 criminal charges for repair,
fraud and odometer trunpe6ng have been
laid in the 41 years since the Ministry
began teaming up with Metro Toronto Pollee
in the hunt for abuses.
The Government is considering the imposi-
tion of a warranty on used cars. as well as
forcing repair shops to post a schedule of
rates and provide written estimates to
customers before performing repairs.
CHILD WELFARE LEGISLATION
The minister of Community and Social
Services, Frank Drea, has announced he will
retract clauses of the proposed child welfare
legislation which would have given him
sweeping powers over the province's 1.800
voluntary children's agencies. He has in-
formed the legislature that he intends to
amend the proposed Child and Family
Services Act to empower him to take over only
the province's 51 government -financed
Children's Aid Societies without cabinet
approval.
With this latest amendment, the Minister
will need cabinet approval if he wants to seize
or dissolve the Board of Directors or any other
agencies with volunteer Boards of Directors
such as Children's mental health centres,
family counselling centres or other child -ori-
ented services. It is anticipated that this
announcement will be welcomed by many
child agency representatives who have been
protesting recently over what they perceived
to be excessive takeover powers for the
Minister.
Pro -Life group
helps women
in distress
Those attending the London Pro -Life
Annual Dinner. held in April, were given a
good answer to the challenge with which
pro -lifers are often confronted. namely, why
do we do this?
The answer is basic. The weakest, most
defenceless of our society are being abused,
killed and forgotten. That is wrong and as
responsible people we have to do whatever
we can about it. One thing we are doing is
speaking out against abortion. Many are not
only talking. but also helping out with Birth
Right. an organization that helps pregnant
women in distress.
Wingham Voice for Life is planning
another garage and bake sale this year. !t
will be held in Whitechurch at the home of
Mr. and Mrs. George Lubbers. The sale will
begin at 10 a.m. on Friday, June 29 and
conclude at noon on the following day.
The Alliance for Life Conference for
pro-life groups across Canada will be held at
McMaster University in Hamilton from July
5 to July 8. Each executive member of Voice
for Life was given information and registra-
tion forms.
A number of events this spring wee
considered successful. Most notable among
these was the \Vingham Pro -Life annual
cfinner. The Folk Choir of Sacred Heart
Church. directed by Mrs. Campeau, sang at
this event, as did the double trio from the
Presbyterian congregation.
In May. the Kincardine group held their
annual dinner. The speaker was fan Hunter
a professor of law at the University o
Western Ontario,
