PRODUCTION.

News has leaked from the Provincial
chambers in Ottawa and the news
hurts. It’s all about that grandiose
provincial plan for welfare
opportunities or should we say, The
Government’s New Job Opportunities
Program.

The program, under which the
government will pay half the cost of
wages for newly created jobs between
November this year and April 20, 1972,
is the basic brainchild of Municipal
Affairs Minister Dan Campbell.

The minister has declared that he
hopes jobs may be found for many of
the 1,300 employable persons on social
assistance. in the Prince Rupert,
Terrace, Kitimat, Smithers and Burns
Lake area.

Notes from the speech of Mr. M,

~ Hungerford’ ‘at. the’ Janne
” faculty of Agriciitural ‘Sciences fund-:
raising campagin at the University of

British Columbia Tuesday, October 12,

1971.

Agriculture is an under-estimated —
contributor to the provincial economy.

Directly or indirectly, one dollar out
of every eight generated in B.C, is from
agriculture. Directly or indirectly, the
industry employs one-sixth of the labor
force.

If agriculture were eliminated from
the provincial economy :the gross
provincial product would be poorer by
about one billion dollars and
approximately 130,000 jobs would:
disappear.

British Columbians spend more on

food than on any other single

' + commodity including clothing, shelter,
recreation or transportation. ‘

Amajor reason why agriculture isn’t
recognized for the role it plays in the
B.C. cconomy is that it is identified
with. only the production end of the
‘industry, the production of vegetables
and animals for food.

Agriculture is of. course much
broader than primary production. The
industry includes fertilizer, machinery
and other suppliers of farmers, as well
as the food processing, transportation,
wholesale and retail sectors. ss.

Together _ their impact is
if considerably: more. than .. the . total.
#: receipts. farmers receive .for their
4 production. each year. .

that Welfare Minister Flying Phil

Gaglardi has called the whole thing off.
For a while anyway.
No it wasn’t in the news releases, it
wasn’t sent in by Canadian Press.
Areliable welfare source has stated
that an inter-office memo has come
through the channels (in Prince Rupert
thus far) calling a halt to the plan for

_the time being.

The reason? Something isn't
working somewhere, Something is not
right with the plan. Something has

One thing is very certain. It’s hush-

$500, 000 to increase. green ‘power

The University of B.C. has
launched a campaign to raise

eliminated from the provincial
economy the gross provincial

$500,000 to increase its green product would be poorer by

power,

The appeal on behalf of the
Faculty of Agricultural
Sciences was announced at 2
dinner Tuesday, Oct. 12 at UBC.

Co-chairman of the campaign
are Mr. Rod M. Hungerford,

president of Flex-Lox In-.

dustries Ltd., and Mr. George J.
Okulitch, head of Fraser Valley
Milk Producers Association,

about one billion dollars and.
approximately 130,000 jobs
would disappear.

“British Coalumblans spend
more on food than on any other
single commodity including
clothing, shetler, recreation or
transportation.’’

Sciences is to fulfill demands

Processors and distributors of our foo
crops in the area of efficiency.

In B.C. in particular there is a
rapidly expanding population coupled
with a decrease in areas of high-yield
agricultural land.

Our united effort must be for
efficiency. We must narrow the gap
between costs and returns. We must
harness science increasingly to our

tasks. With this in mind we must

remember that our source of
agricultural graduates in this province
is the University of B.C. .

The campaign must be a joint effort.

. Growers, processors and distributors —

and the Faculty of Agricultural
Sciences will merge their efforts. But
we must go beyond even this broad
concept and arouse the interest and
excitement of the general public,
particularly the younger generation, in

~ all things that grow.

‘As an, animal: crop man I ‘was
particularly struck by a passage in a
recent UBS Dairy Cattle report. It says”
there is a large and growing urban
‘population on the Lower Mainland,
“who have no close contact with dairy

_ farming and whose only sight of cows .
‘is through a car window.”

“The Dairy Cattle Unit at UBC has

’ groups of the population, especially

children, can. visit to..see- ‘animal .
