Mrs. Jack Pat- tison and Mrs. Helen Nicholson, FURROW AND FALLOW (By FAIRBAIRN) This may be the busy festive season but for many farm or- ganizations leaders it is just plain busy—and very few holi- days for them! Frankly, we of- ten wonder how some of these people manage to carry on the farm business when they are away so much on the business of the many organizations in which they are active. In many cases that's where the wives enter the picture and our hats are off to both sides of the fam- ily who make terrific sacrifices in order that farm people may be represented and heard in the places where it counts. For example, the Ontario Federation of Agriculture met the Agricultural Committee of the provincial legislature (a week ago yesterday), the next it held a Members' meeting (the first open one incidentally) and on the following Monday the OFA Governors met the On- tario Cabinet. These are big meetings, not just the execu- tive, and they keep a lot of people away from home for quite a long time. Of course, the executives usually manage to sandwich a few meetings in around these sessions. The OFA got fast action on its request that the Ontario government do all in its power to further development of an international food distribution program—such a scheme was approved by the United Nations two days later. That is a facetious statement because this latest presentation could have had very little, if anything, to do with the vote in the UN but it does point up the effect of constant repetition. Without go- ing back over every brief to cabinet in the last ten years to make, sure, we think a similar request had been made in each of them. This is something farm peo- ple have been urging for years for selfish as well as humani- tarian reasons. The plan most recently presented by Agricul- ture Minister Hamilton to the OFA in Rome is the basis for what has finally been approved and the fact that Canada offer- ed to provide cash that could be used to purchase foods pro- duced in other countries, as well as surplus food had a great deal to do with its adop- tion. Many nations were fear- ful of a plan that would simply be used by nations with sur- plus food production to dump their surpluses and upset the economic balance of world trade. Getting back to the local scene, the OFA brief to cabinet reiterated the request for a farm machinery act and at the members' meeting references were made to the special ses- sion earlier with the commit- tee of the legislature. We ga- ther that OFA members who attended that one, were not too happy with the results and we can't blame them. It was bad- ly handled and too many mem- bers of the legislature were too concerned with making politi- cal hay—or trying to. The meet- ing never got down to any ob- jective discussion of what a farm machinery act should ac- complish. However, we also noticed ODORLESS CLEAN BURNING FURNACE OIL STOVE OIL D.
