Cameras Magazi'nes Printing, Developin g Films Smiles n' Chuckles Chocolates Greeting Cards At a recent meeting of his org- anization in the Township Hall at Varna, OFU President Gordon Hill defended his union's program of deficiency payments. Advocated by the farmers.' union for several years, deficiency pay- ments are being adopted by the federal government in connection with hogs. However, the Ontario hog marketing board recently sent a vigorous protest opposing the scheme. Mr. Hill said it was most un- fortunate that leaders of some farm organizations, through a lack of understanding of how deficiency payments could be implemented or for their own personal prestige, have seen fit to denounce them. "This is hard to understand, when the future of the family- type farm never looked so bleak. Farmers are taking out larger loans, paying more interest, farm costs have spiralled, we are work- ing longer hours and accepting lower prices. Why should any re- presentative of farmers fight ag- ainst the first concrete attempt to get to the root of the agricultural Harvey McGee, North Bay, Is visiting, his cousin, Mrs. Maitland Allen and.

Graham, After the sports about 130 peo- ple sat down at the tables for supper, Straughan Family (By our Auburn Correspondent) The descendants of the late Mr. and Mrs, George Straughan gathered at Seaforth Lions Park for their 63rd annual picnic. This family emigrated to Canada from the northern part of England more than 100 years ago and set- tled in Colborne Township. The afternoon was spent renew- ing friendships and games were enjoyed by all. The sports com- mittee convened by Mrs. Donald McLean held races which resulted as: five and under, Heather Koso- wan, Ottawa; David Menzies, Stratford; eight and under, Chris Cowan, Auburn; Elizabeth Sturdy, Goderich; ten and under, George Cowan, Auburn; Keith McLean, Clinton; 14 and under, Danny Sturdy, Dwight Cowan (tied), Brad Dalgleish; young men, Bill Straughan, David Dawson; young women, Dianne Dalgleish; men's race, Roy McLean, Three-legged race, Dianne Dal- gleish and Joe Baker; kick-the- slipper, Mrs. Fern Menzies; throwing the rolling pin, Mrs. Hazel Dalgleish; paper bag race, Bill Straughan; oldest lady, Mrs. Mabel Straughan; oldest man, Jack Newcombe; youngest child, Master Clegg; coming the farth- est distance, Mrs, J. A. Kosowan, Ottawa. During the supper hour, the president, Bill Cowan conducted the business period and the new officers for 1960 were named. It was decided to hold the reunion next year on the third Wednesday in July at Seaforth. Officers are: president, Bill Cowan, Auburn; secretary-treas- urer, Mrs. Hazel Dalgleish, Strat- ford; sports convener, William Straughan, Auburn, Jack Clegg, Clinton and the lunch convener, Mrs. Ed. Farquhar, Clinton. Lunch convener for this year was Mrs. Helen Straughan, Gode- rich, assisted by Mrs. Dot Mc- Lean and Mrs. Annie Jervis, Clin- ton, and Mrs Helen Dawson, Dungannon. First is our export market; sec- ond, an increase in our percentage of Grade A hogs and third, spend some money in advertising our product. Our domestic consumption of pork has increased 35 percent sin- ce one' year ago and around 10 percent of our total production is exported to the U.S. This, along with the decrease in marketings, should change the picture inside of a year or so. I think if we were asking the government for any help we should ask them to change the premiums which they are already paying. Instead of the $2.00 premium on Grade A hogs and $1.00 on El's, would it not be better to take the $1.00 off the Bl's and put it onto the A hogs and perhaps add anoth- er $1.00 making it a $4.00 pre- mium on A's? Then I think you would see the percentage of Grade A's climb. They have slipped badly in the last few years. In regard to advertising our pork products, I think a few cents levy on each hog to be used for advertising purposes would be well spent. All other big companies spend thousands on advertising and selling and it pays off for them. Why shouldn't we? I agree with Mr. Hill fully in his last paragraph where he says that farm organizations should work together for the benefit of the farmer. I have always said the Federation of Agriculture and the Ontario Farmers Union should amalgamate to form one strong organization. Only then will the governments know what sort of help we really need.

Position Before Farm Union President's Recent Claims problem? • "At a recent meeting in Tor- onto, Hog Producer representa- tives met and were told to go back home and speak out against de- ficiency payments. This so called `producer-controlled' organization did not see fit to get their direct- ion from the producers, but were instructed from this meeting to discredit deficiency payment," said Mr. Hill. "Many farmers do not realize the threat of vertical integration to the economy of our country, Dr. Hopper stated recently in Huron County that 10 percent of the hog farmers could produce the pork needed for the' Canadian market. If this takes place, the other 90 percent will be compet- ing for jobs in industry where un- employment continues to be a serious problem. Ross Love, RR 2, Hensall, pres- ident of the Huron County Hog Producers' Association, defends his group's policies in regards to hog marketing. He also makes a number of suggestions for im- proving the hog situation. His letter follows: In reply to Mr. Hill's report on the Ontario Farm Union's pro- gram, I would like to say at the outset that I admire his ,courage in standing up and defending what he thinks is right whether it be right or wrong. I wonder if Mr. Hill knows who makes up the Ontario hog pro- ducers' organization? Every coun- ty in the province is represented according to the number of hogs they produce. These men are ap- pointed mostly at Federation of Agriculture meetings. The reas- on for this was because when the Ontario hog producers were first organized, the Farm Union was not active in Ontario. However, at recent annual meetings in Hur- on, the Farm Union has appointed their own representatives in demo- cratic elections. If the producers of each town- ship are not satisfied with their representative they have the priv- ilege of attending the annual meet- ings and apointing someone else. These men are invited to the an- imal and semi-annual meetings wherever they are held. (There have been as high as no produc- ers at some of these meetings). Mr. Hill says that at a recent meeting in Toronto the delegates were told to go back home and speak out against deficiency pay- ments. THIS IS NOT THE TRUTH. A motion for deficiency payments was put before the meeting, This motion was voted down after long discussion. Could anything be more democratic than this? I would like to ask Mr. Hill if he got the authority to defend de- ficiency payments from the ma- jority of hog producers of On- tario. Mr. Hill says many farmers do not realize the threat of vertical integration. May I say to him they have realized it and that realien1 ion has brought. about its downfall, He needn't worry about it much longer. In looking back over what has happened in the past 25, or 30 years, it seems to nee what We need most is a reasonable floor price on our products, just high enough so we won't lose our shirts in an emergency. From then on, let us organize and work out our own salvation. Instead of crying to the federal government for deficiency pay- moist; there are three things which I think are more important.
