Home Newspaper of Hills A Division of Canadian Newspapers Company Limited Main St South Georgetown Ontario Will Publisher BOB BUTTER Editor Farmers turn on Whelan ByJIMROMAHN Eugene has lost his vote In Ontario It Is gone Evaporated Even I was shocked Wednes dayandThursdayby Ihcunan reaction of farmers to his blood bath of senior lis at the Canadian Commission There was a time when Mr Whelan wis so popular that farmers thought he could walk on water and consumers wished he would try He is credited with winning about IB close rural Ontario seats for the Liberals in the 1974 dec Hon He was popular with far mere because he gave vent to their frustrations He stood up for them And he was on the right track In claiming clearly con and that Can must put a higher prior on agriculture and on far mere if they want tins industry to stay healthy and keep ing them a consistent supply of wholesome food at But he shot the whole wad Farmers no longer trust The shuffle of people in the Canadian Dairy Commission ii in their view political move designed to pac iy Quebec farmers Farmers in the rest of Canada are being forced give up part of heir shire of the national miik market to keep happy More important Mr has demonstrated that he will fire any mm who stands in the of his stubborn wrong In the past farmers have been patient with Mr Whehn because they judged he was not responsible for such popular policies as the sharp cutback in milk production this spring changes to the feed gritns policy a lack of import controls on beef ind the egg industry foul blamed others most often other cabinet numbers for over ruling Mr Whelms better judgement But it is now clear that Mr Whel in is himself an enemy of policies and people firmers support It is Mr who has scuttled the policies of the Dairy Commission to funnel more quota into Quebec It is Mr Whelan who fired chairman tllard Powers and vicochuirmin Jules Thibo dtau and put his personal executive assistant in as chairman in stead Mr Mr earned their posts as leading dairy farmers Mr lowers from the Pembroke am of Ontario Mr Thibo- from the Thurso area of Mr main claim to Ihc job is his two years of lojalicrvicc heading Mr personal staff are miny men with much more experience thin he in dairy la j ind farm Why did firmers turn so ckl and on Mr Whelm governments have intruded so deeply into culture hit the success of my firming de pends on the policies and ad hos gov Nowhere is this more true in in Hit dairy industry 1armcrs f ice so many certainties in their business that naturally seek lily of markets of prices ind of government pol icy They must believe that gov operate in i rational reisonible to reach economic and social They must faith in the political process And that is precisely whit Mr Whehn his destroyed Whits more he went ihead despite immcdiitc and hostile reaction to the news when it in a story in The Record Wednesday He hid a chance to change his mind He could clearly see that his decisions were unpop ular and indefensible He knew so well thai he avoided Ottawa reporters when he left the House of Commons Wednesday GOODWILL IS GONE And so Mr Whelan has lost his good will in Ontario I am more saddened than angered by that development He contributed much to Can agriculture He gave farmers a voice He unified them He them hope And he blew it all this week Mr Whelan is an admirer of former prime minister John Like Mr baker he appealed to the voters with a populist char Like Mr he sold visions of the future But like Mr he attacked the very people he needed most to develop and idminister his policies I ike Mr he now feels himself besieged by a civil service he has by clearing the decks of the top agriculture department lions and by blaming for ill his difficulties He knows he has the anger of others he has dis misted from key positions them John Hyde from the chairmanship of the Can idian Egg Marketing Agency to make way for Jerry Mr Powers from the dairy Mr Mr Thibo- dcau to m ike for someone not yet named Like Mr he probably feels by the public which yesterday hailed him their leader and today condemns him For Mr it sail over except the pink slip from her Minister or the voters Mr Itomahn is a farm writer the Kitchener Waterloo Record This com was published Friday Nov 12 following his story Wednesday announcing the fir ings of members of the dairy commission On

wonder ibout the party s And if don I question their qualifications it makes you wonder just whit type of conditions provincial 1 were looking forward to In 1977 so far the timing of this campaign

when he recently announced Ihen would be changes the tests for immigrant children there is good re to believe this wis done Ihe wishes of ill lis key advisor However the premier who had been hammered by the English ethnic voters over this issue decided some Ihing must be done to appease them So he announced tint the language lests would be replaced by oilier restrictions preventing Immigrant children from flooding English schools after the Nov 15 vote say what the new restrictions would be but he did say this had nothing to do with the election it was just a gesture Ho ho ho as they
