MEMBERS FROM. DISTRICT ATTEND
NTARIO FARMERS' UNION RALLY
( Mrs. R. Hill, PressSecfetary)
The ninth annual convention of
e Ontario Farmers' Union was
reld in Memorial Hail, O.A.C„
;uelph, on Octoper 24, 25 and 26.
Allan Schoeder, an official of
I 1 'kilted Auto Worers, speaking on
Monday, said the wages paid Can-
adian auto workers have little to
do with the price of cars. He said,
labor costs on one standard auto-
mobile or a small truck are about
$350, and estimated labor costs o
farm machinery would be about
the same proportion. In 1945, Mr,
Schoeder said, wages amounted to
33.9 per cent of the cost of manu-
factured farm machinery. In 1957
labor's share had dropped to 22.9
per cent.
"Wages have gone up, but pro-
duction per worker has gone up a
great deal more." He told of an
assembly line at G.M.C., that had
been reduced from 225 to 14, the
result of automation. Asked from
the floor why auto and farm
equipment prices had gone up dur-
ing the same period, he answer-
ed: "Most car and tractor prices
are not set by wages. One firm
aims to get 20 per cent on capital
investment. During the past 10
years it has averaged 25 per cent.
They get .,their investment return-
ed every four years."
Greetings from the ,Inter -Provin-
cial Farm Union Council were
brought by its chairman, A. P.
Gleave, also President of the Sas-
katchewan Farmers' Union.
"Continually declining farm in-
come and the resulting migration
from farm to city are major fac-
tors contributing to rising unem-
ployment and are dragging the
Canadian economy into depres-
sion," he said. Mr. Gleave ex-
plained the farmer is ode of the
largest markets for consumer and
capital goods. "How much better.
a market he would be if he was
in a healthy financial position with
adequate income, rather than be-
ing as he is today, the low man on
the totem pole."
To bring the economy back into
gear the Farm Union leader sug-
gested, expanded markets, both at
home and abroad. "We have the
land, resources and technical know-
how. What we need is the people
to make use of our abundances
and let others share it, both at
home and abroad,
Alvin Hamilton, Minister of Ag-
riculture, delivered his first .pub -
Ifs address since his appointment
to the delegates. He told the audi-
ence that since he feels emotion-
ally involved with the field of ag-
riculture, he promises to do all in
his power to solve the many prob-
lems facing the farmers today.Mr. Hamilton said that it is his
belief that the farmers will have
to go through a period of transi-
tion into' other forms of produc-
ing commodities from the land.
As an example, he cited the fore-
cast that by 1965 pulp and paper
requirements in Canada will be
increased by 60 per cent. He sug-
gested that many farmers can in-
crease their future by planting
trees and moving into this field
p of production.
A spirited question period fol-
lowed Mr. Hamilton's address. It
reached a climax when one of the
delegates referred to some of the
Minister's remarks as nothing but
"wriggling around the facts". Vis -
4 ibly angered, Mr. Hamilton rose
and defended his position, saying
that the government under John
Diefenbaker had ,done more in the
last three years for farmers than
any previous government had in
• 25 years. •
Mrs. Mary McIntosh, women's
president of the Manitoba Farm-
ers' Union and former school
teacher, delivered a dynamic ad-
dress to the convention on Wed-
nesday. In her opening remarks,
she said that• there is no division
between eastern and western farm-
ers. Their problems affect one an-
other, and they must present a
united front in the interest of ag-
riculture. Mrs. McIntosh said that
in Manitoba the cash income is
down 4.4 per cent in the first six
months of this year. "Women and
children have provided the "slave
labor that has kept farmers in
business for too lona" she said.
"Farmers have constantly been
told they must become more efflei-
ent, and this has resulted in in-
creased production, greater sur-
pluses, and lower prices," the
speaker continued," "Steel mills
run 50-75 per cent capacity, but
this doesn't mean lower prices,
and can hardly be termed effici-
ency," she said:
Mrs. McIntosh strong con-
demned the system of acreage pay-
ments for western farmers. She
said it was strange that the num-
ber of farmers, according to sta-
FIRESIDE FELLOWSHIP GROUP
The regular meeting of the Fire-
side Group of First Presbyterian
Church was held Tuesday even-
ing in the school hall with Rev.
Gordon Chambers, of Stratford, as
the guest speaker. Rev. D. Leslie
Elder announced the hymn and
led in prayer after which he and
Mrs. Elder favored with a duet,
entitled, "He That Winneth Souls
is Wise."
Mr, J. Hoelscher introduced the
speaker, who told of his work in
the Belgian Congo, and:of the mir-
at!ulous-escaped when the enemy
Was on their very threshold. They
had thought that the missionaries
were safe, but - word was brought
for them to flee without their be-
longings. He felt that God had
been with them all the way, and
that He bad brought them safely
to Canada again. Rev. Chambers
is planning to return as the work
is being carried on by the natives.
Mrs. John Hoelscher thanked the
s1►eaker and Rev. and Mrs: -Elder.
The meeting closed with a hymn
and prayer by Rev. Elder.

ber of permits issued for acreage
payments had increased by a
large number. •
Agriculture, like education, has
become everybody's business-• To-
day, farmers are at the mercy of
too many cold calculating bands -
people with no compassion, She
,cited an example in the gummy,
sodden mess knQwn today as bread.
"The wheat germ is removed;
maturing agents, preservatives,
bleaches, etc., are added," She
suggested if the processor did as
well as the producer, we might
have a product worthy of the
name.
Mrs. McIntosh said she believ-
ed the increasing number of farm
organizations were not in the best
interests of agriculture, but the
result of a desire for power. She
advocated one strong organization,
with representatives from all com-
modities. "Too many little groups
tend to weaken us and are too cost-
ly to farmers," she said.
The election of officers resulted
as follows: President, Mel Teb-
butt, 'Markdale; firsvice-presi-
dent, Edwin Morden, Shelbourne;
second vice-president, John Dol -
mer, • Dundalk; women's president,
Mrs. M. Hopkins, Fenlon Falls;
women's vice-president, Mrs. Al-
tna Parker, Roseneath; junior
president, Ken Marisset, Prince
Edward County.
Of all the resolutions discussed,
a ten -point resolution concerning
hog marketing came .in for a lot
of discussion and comment before
being adopted. It asked for a
marketing board of 11 members,
each representing one of 11 zones,
and elected at a meeting of hog
producers in his own zone. The
resolution asked also that the On-
tario Hog Producers' Marketing
Board have non connection, . direct
or indireest, with any processing
plant -co-operative or not.
Results of other resolutions will
be heard on Thursday night, Nov.
3, at a meeting'in'the agricultural
board rooms in Clinton, when
Charles MacNaughton, MLA, will
be present. Education will also be
discussed, and anyone interested
is invited to attend.

Well, October is over and No-
vember, our examination month,
has arrived. "Have you began
studying for exams yet?" is a
common question these days.
Recently we had the pleasure of
a visit from two Y.C.S. leaders
from Chatham, who have devoted
a year of their time to Y.C.S. pro-
jects. They spoke to the students
of the increasing need .of prayer
and good Christian example among
fellow students in all student and
adult activities. A community does
look to its youth, really, for pro-
gress!
On Monday, Oct. 24, Grade 10 -
diplomas were given out to the
present Grade 11 students, by
Father Durand. On this occasion
Father Durand stressed the need
of educated adults in the world
today. • Speaking of the dislike of
many for school, Father said:
"Every school day can be, and
should be, a -holiday, if -we make
it so." He stated that everyone
on earth, including the student,
has a place to fill'and if he does
not fill it, it will remain unfilled.
In closing, Father expressed his

For thousands of widows and war orphans there are
pensions. But no pension or allowance can hope to provide for
life's emergencies. Most of us have some form of insurance
against sickness, accidents and hospital bills. But where would
your wife turn for help if she were a widow or if you were
disabled ?
The Canadian Legion's Poppy Trust Fund is the answer
for thousands of war widows, orphans and disabled veterans.
It is a comrade's enduring answer to the eyes that talked !
