The brief was presented. by Robert Taylor, of Varna, county president, and the delegation in- cluded Mrs. G. Clifton, E. Rath - well, F. Nesbitt and R. Hanna. The presentation discussed a number of topics as follows: Ontario Farmers' Union has al- ways supported the principle of producer controlled Marketing Boards, but firmly believe that these boards must be national in scope to achieve the proper results. The OFU believes that the inter- ests' of the agricultural industry would be best served by one gen- eral farm organization which would be responsible for formulating ag- EGMONDVILLE Mr. and Mrs. Albert Clark and family, of Muirkirk, were Satur- day visitors with Mrs. Clark's mother, Mrs. J.

Marketing would be done by commodity committees of the general organization, one committee for each commodity, i.e., meats, milk, poultry, cash grains, etc. We are also concerned regard- ing the opposition and the general confusion with Bill 86, which we believe was designed to regain some of the faith and support in marketing boards. This is another case where leaders have been suc- cessful in influencing farm people to the detriment of agriculture in general. In all such controversy, the Ontario Farmers' Union has had a free hand to point out to farmpeople the pros and cons of legislation and how it may affect producers. This organization has always endeavored to uphold the cause of farm people and has done so in many cases without support from any other farm group, in fact, has received opposition in an attempt to bring stability and equality to our farm people. Transportation Ontario Farmers' Union believe the license fees for farm trucks are unreasonably high. Farmers do not object to paying a fair share of highway maintenance but feel the present system is not equitable, Records indicate that 22 per cent of all farm trucks, 21/2 tons ande•up, in the province of On- tario,.,belong to farmers. They av- erage .only 3700 miles per year and they travel two-thirds of the time empty and are used to ca- pacity only 25 per cent of the time. Ontario farmers being primar- ily livestock producers require a truck at various intervals of the year, and a seasonal licence which has been suggested by the govern- ment 'would be of very little bene- fit. We therefore recommend that a special classification be set up in Ontario for farm trucks with the licence fee considerably reduced. Several neighboring provinces, in- cluding New Brunswick, Manitoba and Saskatchewan, have already established a special reduced • lic- ence. A great number of school chil- dren are transported to and from school by bus and with the trend to consolidated schools we antici- pate an increase in this trend tri the future, therefore it is neces- sary that the rules and regulations be established to provide the ut- most safety for our children. We have recommended that: (1) School bus drivers be requir- ed to pass a special driving test. (2) All school buses be equipped with stop signs, both front and back, and all traffic be required to stop when students are leaving or entering a bus. We would point out that the ex- isting regulation which requires farmers to obtain a permit before moving farm machinery over 110 inches wide on the road, causes in- efficiency and inconvenience. Con- sider . the plight of a farmer who makes a special trip to town to secure a permit, then because of bad weather or breakdown is un- able to complete the job as sche- duled, the time specified on the permit has lapsed and he must re- apply. We seriously question the prac- ticability of this regulation and have recommended that farmers be allowed to move machines free- ly between sun -up and sun -down, and have also recommended that the shoulders on roads be built up so as to enable 'machine operators to pull off and allow traffic to pass. Insurance We recognize the benefits which the Unsatisfied Judgment Fund has provided. However, this is not entirely satisfactory; we believe all automobile owners or opera- tors should provide proof of insur- ance when applying for motor ve- hicle permits. We also believe in- surance should be provided at cost, and suggest this could be -best provided... through._ a.. govern•. ment automobile insurance plan. The Ontario Farmers', Union have endorsed the principle of a Provincial Hospital Plan but note ith disappointment that in our resent plan there is no provision ade for senior citizens' care in ursing homes, and we have sug- ested that this group be included the plan while patients in a gistered nursing home. w p m n g in re Education It is quite apparent, with the in- crease in popi}Iation and the need for higher education of our peo- ple in all walks of life, that there will be a need for more and larg- er schools. It is disappointing to note that although our average at- tendance, cost and facilities have doubled in the Iast few years, that a small percentage of the students are completing Grade. 13, or get- ting the education that they re- quire to take advantage of the present-day positions and oppor- tunities. In a recent survey by the unem- ployment department In the prov- ince, it was found that 70 per cent of the present unemployed have only had public school education. Considering all these facts, the Huron Ontario Farmers' Union have named a committee to meet the Minister of Education request- ing that a survey be taken within the county as to the need of a vocational school. WINTHROP The annual meeting.of the WMS and WA of Cavan Church will be held Wednesday, Dec. 7. Circle I will have charge of the lunch, and Circle II, the program.
