The MPP suggested that through attempts to inform the public, those such as Eugene Wheian, federai mini- ster of agriculture, who tends to lecture -consumners- that they 've been ýgetting a bargain on food for years and will have to leara to live with the higher prices, are oniy antagonizing the consumer. "Surelv, it is obvious the basic economic security of agriculture is not g"n to be assured in any d5e'mocratie society by pitting farmers, wbose numbers h ave now been reduced to five per cent of oui- population, against the remig 95 per cent of the population, Mr. Moffatt said. The New Democratic Party mhember, said in attacking the attitudes of the old parties toward farmers, "it is the characteristicaily bankrupt, divide and rule policy."1 Rather than simpiy settipg labor against only a small divide and portion of the Sopulation, the government as now been a dded to the opposition, Mr. Moffatt's statement expiained. Lt is the resuit of farmers representing only 'smali por- tion of the population that the government must work with the food growers to maintain production through programns of stabilization. The MPP pointed to the farm income stabilization pro- gram as hein g of top priority to assure farmers thleir costs of production will be covered, plus a reasonable return on the investment, management and labor. According to Mr. Moffatt, $150-million per year would be required to set up such a .irogra, but in' light of a 10mlin provincial budget, it is the feeling of the NDP that Endorsement" Granted' Endorsement to allow the Marksmen Club of Oshawa continue to use land they own near H-ampton for a shootine club was granted Dec. lSth by Newcastle Council. the club hav'e used the property for such purposes since 1968 but decided to ask councii's Perm- ission to continue when they learned council had bylaw reguiating tne use of firearms within the town. Considering a bill of sorbe $772 Monday from the region for marking school crossings, on roadways in the Town of Newcastle, coyncil approved payment of the cost even though there was some object- ion regarding certain of tem being Regional Roads. Counc. Ken Lyall, who bas aiready objectcd to the town enforcing parking bylaws in1 Orono and Newcastle Villaize on regional roads, advised Monday he could think off- hand of a least three such crossings that are on Regional Roads. Mr. Lyall questioned why the town should have to pay the cost of such crossings markings rather thanki being the responsibiliit of either the School Board, th e Region or the Province. the poram would be worth- whîeif the people want to continue to eat Ontario Food. Tbere's also another reason for the program, being the fact that the food industry is tbe country's- largest while farmers have been reduced to oniy 20 per cent of the industry.
