PORT PERRY STAR -- Wednesday, May 18, 1977 -- 9 Durham farmers skeptical about Blair report by Cliff Robb - The new proposals by the Blair Commission on taxes, in the Province of Ontario have certainly. not caused the Region of Durham farmers to do handstands to show their support, At a recent meeting of the Durham Region Federation held at Sunderland the guest speaker, Bill Benson of Palmerston, an executive member of the OFA, gave a talk 'on the aims of the organization for 1977. In his address he recapped the re- marks of the president of the OFA, Peter Hannam, and stated that if agricul: 4 ture' was given the proper - priority. in the economy it could very well become a strong, positive force in creating jobs with a future as it was a renewable resource, - We have a good climate -in Ontario; we possess good land and we 'are very fortunate in having good, solid people on the land with a great deal of expertisé leading to efficiency in the industry. We are however, Mr. Benson stated, only about 5 percent of the total popu- "lationyof the province and | although this is a relatively small number we control' much of the food consumed by 'the balance "of the population, therefore, our "clout" is much. greater than our numbers would indicate. Mr. Benson cited many . . areas which are of great concern to the organization such as large tariffs which must be reduced if farmers are to compete on a level with our southern' neigh- bours, This -includes. corn - which comes in to Canada at an 8 cent tariff yet is charged 25 cents going the other way. Beef has a 3 cent tariff coming into. Canada and 30 cents going into-the States. Many more examples of discrimination to our provincial farmers Sunderland | arena grant The Township of Brock has received -a cheque from the Ontario Ministry of Cul- ture and Recreation for $33,786 to assist in the cost of the new Sunderland Community Arena. Durham-York M.P.P. Bill Newman said the grant was - an example of the import- ance placed on local recrea- tional facilities in smaller communities by the pro- vince. Travel Trallers + Hdtp.
