The resolution was 'dis- cussed at length with some mild disagreement, but eventually pass- ed with the support of the meet- ing. This convention was relatively quiet, compared .to previous OFA meetings, butit was not because of disinterest. Few controversial topics came up, and the delegates devoted their time and energies to considering the future, in line with the convention theme of "The ,ext 10 Yeats in Agriculture." Both panel discussions probed the future- in agriculture, with some tthought-provoking ideas express - d. One panel ,chaired by Dr. H. H. Hannam, president of the Cana- dian Federation of Agriculture, ex- amined future relationships be- tween Canadian farmers and Unit- ed States farmers. The panel was given the job of deciding if the future was a question of survival of the fittest, or whether a com- mon market might be the answer. No definite conclusions were reach- ed, but F. J. Rossiter, Agricultural Attache at the U.S. Embassy in Ottawa, did suggest that his gov- ernment would not only be inter- ested in the possibilities which a common market might have, but would even welcome discussion on it between the two countries. He thought this was a subject which farm leaders might delve into on their own. Other panel- members, Dr. W. C. Hopper, economist for the CFA, Dr. ,John Brown, Secretary of the Ontario Fruit and Vegetable Grow- ers Association, and Ken Stand- ing, Secretary -Manager of the On- tario_ Soyabean Growers Market- ing Board and the Ontario Wheat Producers Marketing Board, were not agreed with Mr. Rossiter on the future of a common market insofar as Canadian farmers are -concerned. Mr. Standing referred to the six nation common market established in Europe, and said he thought they were building a tariff wall around themselves, in- timating it could happen with U. BETIIEL WMS, WA Bethel WMS and WA societies mgt at the 'home of Mrs. Stanley Hillen. The theme was "Mission." Mrs. Everett. Beuerrnan and Miss Tennie Dennis had charge of the devotional exercises. The topic from the study book was prepared by Mrs. N. Stimore and presented by Mrs. Don Dennis and Mrs. Percy Dalton. It dealt with Ecumenical wear with re- gards to the refugee problem in Europe and the Holy Land. Mrs. Charles Boyd gave a de- tailed account of the morning ses- sion of the Sectional meeting which was held in Duff's Church, McKil- lop. She used a flip chart in order to bring a clearer picture to the members. Mrs.- William Roe also gave a full report on the after- noon session, the highlight being the address by Miss Stevenson, a missionary on furlough. Miss Ethel ,Dennis gave a talk on Christian Education by means of a flannelgraph. Mrs. William Roe also„ gave a report on the Christian Education meeting which was held in Clinton, the theme be- ing, "We Promised." Mrs. C. Boyd-- is to send the bandages, which are to go to Nigeria. Mrs. William Dennis presided for the WA. meeting ,which follow- ed. The minutes of the last meet- ing were read and theroll call was responded to by 25 members. The Hallowe'en social netted $28.10 and a very successful copper con- test was concluded. A motion was made that all officers remain the same for another year, and this was agreed- upon. The Holiday Bags are to be brought to the December meeting and the reports are to be made ready.

Dr. Brown thought that removal of tariffs between Canada and the U.S. would be a detriment to Canadian producers because of the ability of American farmers to produce more cheaply from larger units. A second panel, chaired by Geo. McLaughlin, a well-known dairy farmer from Beaverton, with Wil- liam Tilden, new OFA president from Harriston, A. H. K. Mus- grave, OFA vice-president, of Clarksburg, Grant Hudson from Lyn, and Dr, H. L. Patterson, Di- rector of Agricultural Economics, Ontario Department of Agricul- ture, as panel members, devoted its time to the future for Ontario agriculture. Some of the conclu- sions reached by the panel was that planned production would be necessary for at least some crops, that farmers will feel the impact of mechanization and improved techniques more than ever before, and that farmer co-operatives will be needed to help the farmer in his business. Mr. Hudson went fur- ther with suggestions that the Federation of Agriculture could offer specific services of farm management advice, legal assist- ance, estate planning and income tax calculations to members. He felt that the federation could help with such problems as smoothing out transitional periods for farm- ers forced out of agriculture or forced to make serious adjust- ments within the industry. The wrath of a few delegates was directed at careless hunters when a resolution was brought forward to amend the Game and Fisheries Act. Cases of livestock killed, human lives threatened and farm buildings being fired at were cited, and delegates called ,for stifferpenalties for trespassing on farms and for licenses for all fire- arms, even when used for target practice. Another resolution call- ing for open season on deer, which in some areas were causing $1,000 - damage a year,to fruit trees, was tabled by delegates, consistent with the above resolution. Cream Producers Seek Marketing Aid Cream producers in the Huron - Perth zone have decided to urge the Ontario Cream Producers at. their annual meeting November 15 in Toronto to press for some type of marketing board to market all dairy products. Such a board, members felt would be in a pre- ferred position to export whatever product was in oversupply. The provincial meeting will also be requested to group all vege- table oil products (other than soap) with lard and that they be listed together for government pro- duction figures 'released to the press. The zone gave support to a mat- ter regarding "inadequate portions of butter served to the public in restaurants"—as brought up at the recent annual meeting in Toronto of the Ontario Federation of Ag- riculture. A resolution was draft- ed by Friday night's meeting to be forwarded to the provincial meet- ing, asking that appreciation be ex- tended those restaurants which provide a suitable portion of but- ter.to customers. Prior to the last war a pound of butter was cut into 48 servings, said one producer =while today that same pound is cut into 96 servings. The group will also request the provincial body to ask that the federal price support for butter fat be not less than the present 64c per pound, over the winter months. The Legion Corner (By JACK HOLLAND) Well, Comrades, here we are again with some more news for you. The annual memorial church parade was held last Sunday to First Presbyterian Church. De- spite the weather there was a fine turnout. Under the leadership of George Hildebrand, the SDHS Band led the parade. They cer- tainly looked sharp in their new uniforms and are a credit to the town. Well, our Poppy drive is over for another year and I am pleas- ed to report that it was quite suc- cessful. Now, you readers who might not know the reason for the Poppy Campaign, I will describe briefly the reasons, and for what purpose this money is used. The Poppy Fund can ONLY be used for one purpose, and that is to help Veterans and their families who are in financial straits. The help from the fund comes in the form of food, clothing, fuel and accom- modation. So, when you buy a Poppy you know that you are helping someone else fortunate than you. Our regular monthly meeting comes up this Thursday evening, and since it is our nomination meeting it is quite important that a large attendance will be on hand. Armistice Day is on Friday and the Legion will be having their annual parade and the placing of wreaths on the Cenotaph. There will also be short religious services held at 10:15 a.m. Rev. C. E. Sul- livan is holding a service in St. James' Church and Rev. D. Leslie Elder is conducting the service in the Legion auditorium—both ser- vices at the same time. The Ladies' Auxiliary—God bless 'em—are holding a pot -luck sup- per Friday evening. Time will be announced on parade. On Satur- day night there is the weekly bingo and the jackpot is worth $60, so let's see you there. Before closing we'll jot down the schedule again for your conveni- ence: Nov. 10, Thursday: Regu- lar and nomination meeting, 8:30 p.m. Nov. 11, Friday': Religious services at St. James' and'Legien auditorium, 10:15 a.m., followed by parade to Centoaph; pot -luck supper in the evening.
