The Huron Expositor, 1960-10-13, Page 7•t • , S , . SPEAKER • ,�. e - RMBS tINQIM; FARMERS GROUP ELECTS • OFFICERS At the annual meeting of Huron District Farmers' Union, the pos. sibility of a technical school for Huron County was discussed. ' It - was decided to hold a special meet- ing eeting in November with a speaker to provide information on this sub- ject. Charles MacNaughton, MLA, and John Hanna, MLA, will also be invited to this meeting: Resolu- tions passed at the forthcoming provingial convention, to be held in Guelph, will also be discussed. Robert Taylor introduced the guest speaker, Ed. Morden, Shel- bourne, first vice-president of 0. F. U., whom he referred to as one of the pioneers of the Farm Union Movement. Mr. Morden related his earlier experiences in O.F.U. He said he has remained active in various positions in the organization be- cause it gives him an opportunity to do something for agriculture. "I fail to see how so many farmers can sit idly by, day after day, giv- ing no thought to their farm or- ganization " he said. "The mem- bers of the Farmers' Union have control of their organization,more than any other farm organization I know of," Mr. Morden continued. "I urge y.ou not to forget this and make good use of it." In referring to the earlier years of the Farmers' Union, he said that the educational program it carried out was a great achieve- ment. He said that farmers had lost faith that something could be done for them. They were urged to become better acquainted with their members of parliament, and to make use of their agriculture committee ,which at this time hadn't been contacted in 20 years.

CROWN HARDWARE Phone 797 -- Seaforth Mr. Morden told of°many obstacles they encountered in these times. Many pepple were suspicious; others did not listen open-minded- ly. In spite of being accused of be- ing radical, communist and many other, things ,hard work and good leadership have changed this atti- tude and the Farmers' Union has emerged a highly respected farm organization. Governments a n d other segments of society are seeking advice and opinion from the Farmers' Union constantly, he continued. Mr. Morden felt the need for a Farmers' Union is as great today as ever. "In recent' years we have had two governments, two farm policies, and it seems very evident governments just aren't too inter- ested in agriculture. The principle of deficiency payments is good, but the price structure is not right," Mr. Morden continued. "It is a far cry from what the Farm- ers' Union asked for." He feels the floor prices are not realistic and is alarmed by the fact that under the present system they can drop continually year after year. "The Farmers' Union must con- tinue to work on this," he said. Mr. Morden told of the predic- tion some time ago by the O.F.U. that a depressed agriculture could pull down the rest of the economy. "Agriculture is still the backbone of our country and farmers pro- vide the best markets for industry. Recent statement that Canada will experience more unemployment than ever during the coming year, might well be traced to the lack of prosperity in agriculture,- and the farmers' inability to buy," he said. In referring to the increasing in- fluence of the chain store, Mr. Mor- den said, "They are too powerful, and greatly to be feared. He said that it is obvious that buyers are . taking their orders from the chain store, which dictates what it will pay, thereby setting the price. The farmer has no choice but to ac- cept and in doing so he is yielding again to big business. This is hi- dicativeof the need for a stronger farmers' organization to combat situations as these." The election of officers resulted as follows: Director, Robert Tay- lor; sub -directors, Edgar Rathwell, George Campbell, Ray Hanna; women's director, Mrs. George Clifton ;' women's sub -director, Mrs. Tom Govenlock; secretary, Carl Govier; . treasurer, Mrs. Carl Dalton; press secretary, Mrs. G. Hill. Display Tuck Cart At Auxiliary" The_ Ladies' Hospital Auxiliary met in the nurses' residence Tues- day evening, Oct. 111. The Lord's Prayet", led by the president, Mrs. E.

During the meeting portion, the secretary, John Lansink, read the minutes of the last general meet- ing. Verdun Rau reported for the program committee. F. C. J.
