SCORE BUILT-IN OBSOLESCENCE AS ADDING TO MACHINERY COST (Contributed) At a Huron County Farmers' Un- ion meeting in Clinton on March 24, members expressed concern that many local implement busi- nesses are losing their dealerships. Since this trend is expected to con- tinue, it will become increasingly difficult for farmers to obtain ma- chinery parts and service when needed. This, in a busy ,season,. will cost farmers a great deal in time, money and inconvenience. Ontario Farmers' Union Provin- cial President Mel Tebbutt, attend- ing the meeting, said that imple- ment manufacturers are continual- ly changing models and design, thus making it impossible for local dealers to keep an up-to-date stock, and increasing the cost of new machinery. A recommendation is to be for- warded from this meeting to the National Farmers' Union asking that they, in their brief to the Farm Implement Investigation Committee, ask for some provi- sion to be made so that implement parts and service be available to farmers at all times. With regard to a recent meeting with the Minister of Education con- cerning a vocational -type school, Mrs. T. Govenlock said that a de- partment head has requested a meeting with the five district high school boards in the near future. Mrs. George Clifton introduced the guest speaker, Mel Tebbut, Provincial President of Ontario Farmers' Union. Mr. Tebbut ex- pressed concern that many farri- ers are being forced off the land. "Fifteen per cent of our farm- ers are so efficient that they pro- duce 80 per cent of our food. What will happen if another 5 per cent can .be -Jiiirluced to produce on the same scale?" The average age of the Cana- dian farmer•is 54 years, and since industry is reluctant to hire older men, Mr. Tebbutt felt that any in- crease in the flow of farmers from the • land could only mean more unemployment. The speaker continued:- "Decline in farm prices, rise in costs, and lack of purchasing power experi- enced by farmers have contribut- ed largely to unemployment. When the country's basic industry is not prosperous, it reflects on the eco- nomy as a whole," Mr. Tebbutt criticized Agricul- tural Minister Hamilton's Rural Development and Rehabilitation Act, saying it brings no relief to present-day farmers, Legislation is available for parity prices, but governments don't want to use it, he said. Mr, Tebbutt felt that the Gov- ernment is being more success- fully pressured by other groups e than farmers. He urged -farmers to keep their local Members of Parliament abreast of their prob- lems. Mr. Tebbutt expressed con- cern that the Government is con- sidering increasing the amount of the commodity available for de- ficiency payments, rather than the base price. When questioned about colored margarine, Mr. Tebbutt said em- phatically he was against it and said that he regrets many chil- dren are growing up today without having tasted butter. Ray Hanna thanked Mr. Tebbutt for his address. Lunch was served by the Walton local. OBITUARIES MRS. ALBERT GUEST Mrs, Albert Guest passed away Saturday in Lansing, Mich.
