Mr. Honey said a Liberal gov. ernment will accept the responsi- bility and obligation to create the. circumstances that 'wIll yield fui] empîoyment through increased -ia- dustry and produciag goods at home that will effectively compete with those we now Import . . and also by exporting a great deal more." Mr. Honey said is party~s pol- icy for eastern Canadian agricul- ture wîll not deal in extra subsi- dies or hand-outs, but with a "f air break for the farmers in the cost- prîce squeeze so they can have a few dollars to properly raise andI ediucatp their families. "Th ey want some order and planning in the matter of produce marketing - . . flot threats. like the.y received last fail from the Minister of Agriculture. They Warft a fair deal in the credit markets so. they can finance nieeded ' capital improvemexits on their farms,",hO stated. He said eastern agriculture needs action, flot bland assurances of" Coaservative candidates* that e verythiag is woaderful in rural Oritario "It doesn't need the slick and expensive propaganda which em- anates from the Minister's office in Ottawa, telling everyone what a woaderful fellow lie Is," said Mr. Honey. Mr. Honey said hie was pleased, to- share the platform with his good friend Allan Beer, Provincial Liberal candidate'in t)urham, and a brother of My colleague Bruce Beer, Member of Parliament for Peel and Chairman of the Eastern Agriculture Committee of the Lib- oral caucus. Under the leadership of Bruce Beer the' voice of eastera agricul- ture was heard in the last parlia- ment, the first time it has been heard for many years. It was îiot heard from the Coaservative benches, it was heard f rom the Li- any more press reloases such as! appeared ini last week's papers. This particular clipping is from the Globe & Mail and the heading reads "Farm Net'Income Rises 50% to Highest Figure Since 1953"l When 1 saw this 1 thought -Won- derful, the farmers increased their income last year by haîf as much again." "When I read the article 1 floted that the increase of 50%, referred to a national average iacrease. In fact Ontario's income last year, instead of iacreasing, dropped $16,- 000,000, the income of Quebec's farmers dropped by $20,000,000. The income of every other eastera province dropped ia 1962, it was only the. Prairie Provinces who in- creased their farm income over last,- year, and their increase was dramatic enough to warrant the headline."

In Durham we have an average cash crop of close to $4,000,000 from the sale of tobacco. 1,000 people in Durham earn their. livelihood from this -.ndustry. LMr. Honey said that on October 24, 1962, the Ontario Flue-Cured Tobacco Growers' Marketing Boardi asked the federal govera- ment for assistance in marketing Lthe 1962 tobacco crop under the provisions of the Agricultural. Pro- ducts Co-operative Marketing Act. The tobacco growers were not ask- ing for hand-outs or subsidies. iThey were asking for marketing assistance under existing legisla- -tion, which bas been in effect for Imany years. Along with my Liber- al colleagues from. other tobacco growiag areas in the Province we beral beaches, stated Mr. Hoaey. Eastern Agriculture doesn't need pressed for -action by the govern- ment, such action was nover forth- coming. The indirect result of thîs faîlure of the federal government has been a 2c levy on each pound of tobacco sold inl Ontario. The On- tario Board bas had to Seek fin- ancial backing f rom the P>rovincial government, the governmeat iof Ontario held a gun to the head of the growers Board and told them, "No assistance ia marketing your 1962 crop unless ail growers re- duce their acreage by a minimum of 40%e'. The Board had to agree to this demand fromi, the Ontario governmeat, 1 don't have to tell youi what it would do to your f a rm, your business, or your office if you were told that in 1963 your production capacity was goiag to be cut by 40%. It means that the tobacco industry Is in chaos. Many of our farmers are or will be In sexlou, in desperate financial cir- cumstânces, it will mean indirect- ly, a cut of at least 40% in the rev- enue coming in to Durham this year from the sale of tobacco. ORONO WEEKLY TIMES Outhorized as Second Class mail, Post Office Department, Ottawa Established in 1938 by R, A. Forrester Roy C.

This group on Wednesdlay %Von first prize at the Peterborough Music Festival for Village Chorus- es fine aclhievernent and one worthy of recogruntion. These is nothing as sweet and mellow as a children'a chorus and especially when they break into their harmony parts. This group has made local appearances and have won acclaim 0of their audiences. As an extra-curricular activity 0f a schooL It is something that almost every child can par- tîcipate in and few limitations prohibit this participation. The adjudicator's remark that the Orono children en- joyed their part in the Glee Club is a credît to their leader- ship and also notes: that worthiness'0f such a group in a school. Perhaps were can hear more from this group at local functions. Again may we congratulate the children and their director. Regional Govern ment The Warden's, Banquet i.n Orono last week brings to mind themany thouights that have been expresied on the fu- ture of the county level 0f governmen.t. Not so long ago the main thought seemed to be that the County Council was on its way out. ýTo-day, from reports in such -magazines as the Municipal World it would appear that the government and those interested in ýnunicipal affairs are looking towards the county level of governrfient to shoulder greater respons'ibil- ities. The thought to-day is towards larger units and regionai governing. One writer dlaimas that some of the present re- sponsibilities of the County-will be turned over to the Pro- vincial level an-d this would include such items as justice, Some of the present responsibilit 1ies of the local, government would be lifted to the County level. Mentioned in this group was welfare, Planning, more emphasis on coupty roads etc. Etiring the past years the growthhas, been towards larger units and here one might recite the enlarged school areas for both public and'high schools, health units and a- much more energetic plan of county roads w;hich all tend to releive responsibility at the lower and local level. The trend is definitely towards regional thinking and there is' little doubt that the County government will play a greater part in this form of government. This however does take some control out of local hands and the local ratepayer does loose, touch in their governing and the local ratepayer does loss touch in their g9verniflg body. However one may ask what concern has the majority of citizens 0f a municipality in the functions of their govern- ment., il, 1 1
