Church officials stress that the appeal is 'coordinated but not unified'. In other words, while materials with "a common theme are used by each participating denom- ination, thus saving on production costs, the monies contributed are allocated by the responsible bodies of each church. Last = year's emergency relief included $831,000 for Pakistani refugees and anot- her $841,800 for those who suffered from floods, fam- ines, earthquakes, fires and wars. : Funds spent on agricul- tural, educational, medical, economic and social devel- opment amounted to $2,930,709 in 1971.

Stewart, Minister of Agri- culture and Food, called on 'the Minister to use his "influence to get other gov- ernments of Canada to help establish a totally co-ordin- ated program to develop the livestock industry, and help establish an overall national meat authority. The letter said the NFU is unable to support any pro- duction incentive program for beef without first having established an overall nat- ional meat authority to avoid placing beef producers in a comparable position-to that experienced by hog pro- ducers over the past few years or shifting production "treat Farmers' Union cautions government from one commodity to another. The letter suggested low interest partially forgiveable loans could serve a useful purpose if applied on a general basis to establish young farmers in the bus- iness of farming, but not on a commodity basis. The union Vice President called for a program com- parable to the Veteran's Land Act used following World War 2 to get young farmers established.

W.A. Twelvetrees, P. Eng: County Engineer. with Bill Dodds The beautiful people . . . Sometimes I get discouraged. There's a picture in our office of an outhouse. Do you realize there is a man in Ontario who is idiot enough to build an outhouse on the end of his dock? I wonder if he swims there. I'm sure the people in the cottages around him don't. And I just read a statement by a British Columbia mining executive. He said open pit mines are beautiful -- they '"'offer relief to the constant green of the landscape, have interesting rock formations exposed to view and form a potential tourist attraction." What really bothers me is that he could be right. I love northern Ontario and the "constant green of the landscape" -- especially around Lake Superior. , But I'm beginning to think that a lot of the tourists sgare my summers with just aren't comfortable wif unspoiled natural beauty. There's a spot north of Marathon -- a view of Lake Superior with rock outcrops and islands that takes your breath away. A.Y. Jackson sketched it in his travels through Superior country. I saw it first in 1969. Last summer I went out of my way on a holiday trip to stop and take a picture -- something to bring it all back when winter in the city gets too depressing. ' : - The first time I projected those color slides, something caught my eye -- a flash from the bottom left hand corner of the screen. . It was the sun, reflecting off the end of a soft drink can. There was a little pile of cans and broken bottles, caught by a ridge as they rolled down the sloping rock- of the outlook. : That little heap of garbage is in every slide I took there. And it's getting to the point where. I can't see anything else in that scene but that damned garbage. It's geeting hard to remember how beautiful that place is.. Now I'm noticing things in my other vacation pictures. The setting sun gives a halo to backlit birches at my favourite campside near Sioux Lookout. But in my pictures it also etches in the outline of every cigarette butt and dances off all the little aluminum pop can pull-tabs. » And that was one of the cleanest camps. Yes, sometimes I get discouraged. - Donna Gale Anton and Robert James Richardson were united in marriage on January 18, 1972 in Kitchener.
