P. Roberts, Tuckersmith Township, urged farmers to end their "attitude of defeatism" and change their pol- icy from the defence to the at- tack. He said agriculture today is suffering from a penalty of ab- undance, and it is time to attack with determination for a just share of the consumer dollar. The event was the annual meet- ing and banquet of the Hay and Stanley Township Federations of Agriculture, and those present en- joyed a delicious turkey dinner served by the Ladies Aid of the Evangelical Church in Zurich. In opening his address, Mr. Ro- berts paid special tribute to the women, claiming that it is the hard work done by the women which makes farming acceptable to most men. With a glitter in his eye, the speaker also said women are smarter than men. Penalty of Abundance Referring to the sliding farm prices, the speaker related how the net returns this year are down 15 percent, and how, next year, they would be down another ten percent. "This is what is known as the 'Cost Price Sq- ueeze'," he added. Mr. Roberts went on to say, "Neither the Conservative nor Lib- eral governments • want to solve the economical problem of agri- culture. They are only interested in the urban centres, and are not worrying about the farmers." "It is time both the govern- ment and industry realize they must be dependent on the farm- er," he went on to say. "When there are surpluses in industry they are bought by the govern- ment, so why should there not be equal treatment for agriculture. We as farmers are helping to pay high industrial profits, surely We have the right to deniand an equal share." Mr, Roberts stated he feels there should be a national agri- cultural planning board set up, since there is no problem in econ- omics that the human mind can- not solve. Unfair Taxation In connection with taxation, the speaker pointed how educa- tional costs have risen in the Last ten years. "The Federation should press the provincial government for exemption of farm land from the public school tax," he said, "since the farmer ie paying five times more tax on his land than the urban dweller is on his pro- Ipierty,." He explained how the farmer should only have to pay 03y our Hensel' Vervesporident) On Tuesday evening, in spite of inclemeet weather a good number of members attended. the meeting of the Senior Citizens Chtb, After a few words of wo. be by election, as for councillors and other boards. E. A. Featherston, Bayfiekl trustee chairman spoke briefly of the trip to Ottawa, and the work to be done on the Hayfield har- bour, He said the village trustees have appreciated the co-operation of the township in every possible way, and appreciated the work done on the roads by Bill Tay- lor, "We are well satisfied", he said, Frank Falconer brought greet- ings from Tuckersmith Township, He took the opportunity to refute opinions expressed in an editorial In this paper recently concern- ing the system by which inunini's palities raised money. He said the province has to take every precaution to save the people's money—they should not have to pay a grant on road that is not paid for, He said that interest paid is high, but is at a cheat rate. He said that few people could afford to pay taxes in ad- vance, and even if they did it would only save a little bit. He seated his belief that financing of municipalities is sound and' good, Elgin Thompson. also of Tuck- el-smith, spoke briefly. Gordon Hill, resident in the township, arid president of the Ontario Farmers Union. asked, several questions. He received thrs information that there were 90 miles of road in the township, Cost of snow removal per mils. wes aheut $55, There were 80 miles' of road kept open. and tot- al cot frrqn janeary 1 to nre- sent in 1959 was $4.436.

However when they found that news re tes financial arrangementshart' he"" made public in the daily Papers 'the nuestion was disenssest Lyle Hill said he did no" fe"l it was right for the county to maintain the airport "foe outsel- ers to fly in here and desecrate our county."

In concluding this impressive talk, Mr. Roberts said it is time someone tells the farmer's story in comparison with the industrial story. The guest speaker was intro- duced to the gathering by J.
