'Éhe Durham Riding Association of the, New Democrratic Party have set the date for the nomina- tion meeting for a candidate for the 1971 provincial election. Wilfrcd Day, president of the association, said recently that the members had decideci to hold an early nomination. The date set is May 23, at the Oddfellows Halli Orono. There are no indications yet of anyone seeking the nomination, 'Douglas Moffatt, was the NDP candidate in the previous provin- cial election. The, guest speaker at the meet- ing will bc Professor Gordon Vichert, professor df English at McMasterUnesty who is pres- ident of $.he Qptari,() cratie Party. Doug., Moffat To Seek NDP Nomination, May 23rd Speaking at a meeting of the Durham 'ND.P. Women's Organi- zation Tuesday niglit, Doug Mof- fatt, former provincial candidate, stated that he would contest the nomination on May 23rd. The meeting will be held at the Orono Oddfeliows Hall on the evening of Satumday, May 23rd. Mr.' Moffatt was speaking to the ladies on farm- income and the link between farmers and consumers. He is a public sehool teacher and principal la Omono, and a part timie fammer. He is a past president of the Durham Riding, Association and is a mem- per of the N.D.P. Provincial Ex- ecutive. He is presently chairing a provincial committee whose task is to prepare a farm polîcy for the party. Mr. Moffatt 'said that the farm- er was always being blamed for the high cost of food. As an ex- ample, he mentionesi the extrem- ely high cost of beef la the sum- mer of 1969. "The Provincial and Federal Agricultural Ministers said that the fammer deserved the increase (la Pict, the price in- crease eceived bvT the farmer was abouit 8c) The President of Loblawzs blamed the suppliers. The Consumer Affairs Minister advised People to boycott beef. AIl of this argument created in the minds of the consumers the ima -ge that the farmer was to blame. "Prices are mianipulatesi in many ways," hle said, "such a-, Proportion cutting, gimmick pack- aging and'tricky advertising." In the matter of gimmick packaging, Mr. Moffatt was sharply critical of this aspect of food marketing, claiming that the excess, packag- ing involvesi added greatly te the' pollution problems in this pmov- ince. 'It seems", hie said "that food and agricultural economies are based on waste, waste in pack- aging, wa,ýte in overpreduction, waiste in poor marketing. 'The resuits of this waste are that the farmers overproduce 1 because cause their basic nature is not te waste, consumers pay too muclr and pollution reigas supreme." Ile refermed to the present Provincial govemament stand on Pollution as being an excuse for action and hie stated as examples tihe recent investigation by Peter- borough Pollution Probe la the Cobourg Sewage, disposai system, KVP Paper Company and the Spanish River and, more locally, the dumping of animal residue at Newtonville. "Every step taken by the government has been afiker tremendous publie outcry and then with a complete lack of con- cern for the People who are the realvictims of Pollution." It was bis contention that mani- ipulation by large corporations' and power greups is responsible for the situation. "Manipulation of foodi products, silly packaging arc comparable to the manipula- tien by farmi machinemy corpora- tions as detailed in the Barber Commission report which states that farmers pay millions of dol- lars per ycar extra to purchase tractors. Fertîlizers are cheaper la the United Statés than la Canada even though the raw material cornes from Canada in the first place.
