Wls wield influence with govern-ment
because they represent a
strong united contact with rural
people, the Alberta Agriculture
home econonticshead said, and she
urged the association to become
the champion of the rural cause
to make sure the farmer's inter-est,
are represented because the
government no longer has a rural
background .
Pointing out that Canadians only
pay 18- 2f0 percent of their income
for food while in other parts of
the world as much as 80 percent
is required, she asked, " Is it fair
for others to benefit at the ex-pense
of the farmer?"

food at the farmer's expense, she
charged.
IN, rs . - Macnonald said the reason
AWf has been able to get govern-nient
grants is because the organ-ization
represents a force for good
in society- it would be impossible
to hire a social service to carry
on the many acts of kindness and
compassion carried out by nienr
ben and branches.
