He is a firm believer in Marketing Boards for exporting if producers want it. George Cunningham said that he teaches school but lives on a farm and raises beef cattle. He said that farming needs a better return. The opposition didn't see fit to let the budget work. He thinks the Federal Government has done a good job. Several subsidies have been implemented to hold down the price of milk and other commodities to the consumer Brian Burgess, an Independent, is the only candidate under 30. He has travelled extensively and studied Theatre and Fine Arts for some time but has now returned to the land. He feels he can be elected because a country man can help the farmer and listen to them. He thinks protective tariffs is the answer. His reasoning is that he can say what he likes because he does not have to follow a party suitable for farming and The question that women where it would give work, on farms be a tax These are a few of the deduction, passed by the questions that were OF A. at their convention, discussed was answered in favor by Each candidate was Mr. Beckett. Mr. given two minutes to state Lawrence also said they their policies, agreed with the OFA on Mr. Burgess said his this matter and that they policy was "Elect a person had introduced it in who is going to listen to Parliament and that the you", and hire the man you Liberals and NDP had want. Mr. Beckett, in answer satisfactory return on their investment. Food is essential and if there are no farmers, no food. They would control the cost of living with price controls but these controls would not go up to the farm gate. Mr. Lawrence said that the challenge had been made and he hopes and prays that a change of government can be made. He said more coordination is needed between governments. Land Use is one way the Provincial Governments and Federal Government can get together. Mr. Gottfried said that the farm policy is the basic one of the NDP party. Mr. Eagleson thanked all the speakers and felt that it had been a good meeting. He invited everyone to the cafeteria for coffee and doughnuts. I*.
