"It's a 3-D budget : disappointing, depressing, but it's got one delightful element," element," he said. OFA has been lobbying the government for years to allow full-time farmers to roll-over taxable capital gains from the sale of a farm into a Registered Retirment Savings Plan (RRSP). The budget announced that farmers will be able to contribute up to $120,000 of their taxable capital gains to an RRSP. The amount eligible is $10,000 for every year farmed from 1972 to 1983. "Up to now, a farmer's pension has , been his property, and capital gains took a big slice of it." "This finally gives farmers some security for their old age. After dedicating most of their life to the land, they won't be penalized for it when they retire," Pelissero said. "I'm concerned that any contributions farmers make to an RRSP after 1985 will be deducted from the $120,000 limit. We'll have to check the fine print to see just how generous the change is." The government's decision not to change Section 31 of the Income Tax Act was "disappointing," Pelissero said, "but at least they're still willing to talk about it. The OFA is going to take that opportunity to convince the government once and for all that the inequities and discrepancies of Section 31 must be changed." Under Section 31, farmers who are deemed to be part- time can only deduct up to $5,000 in farm losses against their other income. "Many farmers are forced to take off-farm jobs to finance their farming venture. That $5,000 is ridiculously low when you look at what it costs to farm these days," Pelissero said. "The amount should be indexed to inflation." The budget makes no provisions for additional funds to the Farm Credt Corporation and "that's the disgusting part," Pelissero said. "At least $250 million more should have been allocated to the FCC to ensure that funds for loans don't run out as early as they have in the past." The budget should also have extended the FCC's Emergency Assistance Program, and given some relief to farmers who have long-term loans as high aS 16% percent. "Farmers saddled with a loan like that aren't going to be able to run a business in the black," he said. The government should have taken the OFA's advice and developed agri-bonds to provide farmers with an afforable source of credit, Pelissero said. "Agri-bonds are the perfect solution to our money problems. They wouldn't strain the government's tax flow, and best of all, they would provide Canadians with an attractive way of investing in agriculture." Under the plan proposed by the OFA, the FCC would raise capital for loans through agribonds. agribonds. Purchasers of the bonds would get a tax credit similar to the dividend tax credit given to shareholders of taxable Canadian corporations. "The federal government has finally conceded to talk about agri-bonds in their Finance Committee, so we've got a foot in the door," Pelissero said. "It's an intelligent, realistic solution, so we won't stop pushing it until something constructive is done with it."

The choir had an anthem. Rev. Rutherford spoke on "Nehemiah, a restored people." Nehimiah returns to Jerusalem to find the temple had been completely destroyed. His followers couldn't see how they could do anything, but Nehemiah mourned so much about the temple that the emperor of Persia took pity on him and asked what is it that you want? Nehemiah said he wished to go back to his own country, Judah, and rebuild the temple. He got the go ahead and asked the emperor to give him letters to pass through different countries, which he did, and he returned to Jerusalem. He prayed to God for success. This is how the walls of Jerusalem and the . temple were rebuilt. The ' notable feature of the book of Nehemiah is the record of his deep dependence on God and his frequent prayers to him.
