Federation meeting The Durham Region Fed- eration of Agriculture held its annual meeting October 27 in Port Perry and selected delegates to attend the Ontario Federation Conven- tion this month in Toronto. Lawrence McLaughlin, Art Catton and Judy Jenson were selected from Durham East, while John Noble, R. Hunter and Steve Den Ouden were sélected from Durham West. . Also at the meeting, which was attended by about 60 farmers, a new slate of directors was' elected from each of the municipalities with the Durham Federation boundaries. 4. The directors from Scugog are: Gordon Brown, Judy Jenson, Merrill Van Camp, Lawrence McLaughlin, Harvey Graham, Carl Adams, Ralph Larmer and Art Catton. From Uxbridge they are: John Noble, Murray - Cox, Steve Den Ouden, Grant Mustard and Brian De Geer. Brock Township directors: - Les Smith, John Wetherall, : Jim Knight,- Jim Anderson, Don Robinson, Bob Barlow and Tom Allison. Ajax-Pickering directors: Richard Winter, Grant Carson, Don Hope, Maurice O'Connor, Ellis Britton. Oshawa-Whitby directors: Bill Guthrie, Bill Robinson, Hubert Schillings Jr., Murray Mountjoy and Peggy Booth. : : Newcastle directors: Jim Millson, Don Welsh, Neil Allen, Gerry Brown, Jim Lowery, John Wagenaar, Gord Barrie, and Ted Watson. : The directors will elect a new executive at their first meeting in December. Current President Art Catton, who is completing his. second term, indicated after the meeting that he is unsure at this time whether he will seek a third term. Guest speaker at the meeting was John Phillips, the editor of the twice . monthly Farm and Country newspaper. In a question and answer period, Mr. Phillips told the meeting he believes there should be some kind of controls which would pre- vent young farmers from borrowing too heavily over a short period of time, Noting that in the past three or four years, there have been cases of start-up farmers borrowing as much That prompted a reaction from one member of the audience who said a certain percentage of farms are as $300,000. he said he knows bound to fail, and why should of one particular case where a farmer is now facing annual interest payments of $270,000. : He said almost all farmers are seeing the erosion of equity these days, but it is the beef and hog producers who are hurting most from the economic pinch. He suggested there should be some kind of relief for those farmers who .are hurting the most. I'm not saying they should _ get massive hand-outs,"" but' they are paying dearly for the mistakes' (of borrowing too heavily). other farms have to prop up those who may have gone in over their heads with debt | oads. : Mr. Phillips agreed that bad management leads to farm failures, but he added that not all those who are now going bankrupt are bad managers. | During the course of his .speech, Mr. Phillips rapped both the federal and provin- cial governments for lack of action on behalf of farmers. He said federal agriculture minister Gene Whalen believes the constitution issue is more of a priority than farm problems, 'and said the provincial govern- ment can find $650 million to buy into an oil company (Suncor) but pleads poverty when it comes to farmers needs. Mr. Phillips said farmers today are facing the same problem they faced 11 years .ago when the prediction for the 1980s was too much production and not enough money in return. He also had words of criti- cism for some machinery companies which he said "stroked the egos of some young farmers" and talked them into massive purchases. Hé said banks were only too willing to lend money to pay for these purchases. Port Perry High School by Mike Stokes Another week at P.P.H.S. with students scurrying crazily to get all those last minute assignments in for the mid term report cards.

Congratulations to Anand Maharaj, Ed Deckert, and Steve Foote and good luck in the stiff competition. Mr. Sims is now casting for his play "The Hole" which may also be in the festival so all you amateur actors out there should look him up. Music students are gearing up for the annual Child's Christmas in Port ° Perry which will be presen- ted on December 2. It promises to be an entertain- ing evening of music and action. ' Work meetings for the Christmas Float and the At Home are going well. The Santa Claus Parade will begin at 2:00, Saturday, "November 28 at the high school and the float committee is busily cutting and painting to meet that date. ; The At Home committee members, even though they have a while longer: before their opening night are still working hard to get ready for that one beautiful night in April. - Other events will be start- ing between now and the Christmas holidays so there are still plenty of opportun-: ities to get involved.
