But the Federal Governâ€" ment has plunged headlong into the airport planning. They have hoped that oppoâ€" sition to the airport will die as arable farmland turns to weed with the departure of farmers who have been exâ€" propriated and bought out. The airport and associated complex will occupy some 43,000 acres of class 1 farmâ€" land which produces a maâ€" jor portion of food supplies needed to maintain a stable cost of living in this area. The â€" Government â€" has been forced to announce beâ€" cause of the opposition to priorities for such a sum of money. These priorities inâ€" takes them around to variâ€" ous crafts fairs in Waterloo Region. The price usually ranges up to eight dollars but increases if the house is a special one.
