Cameron, Executive Sec- retary of Dairy Farmers of Canada. He spoke at the •an- nual luncheon meeting of the Ontario Cream Producers Mar- keting Board in Toronto. Mr. Cameron charged that too many farm organizations "in both Canada and the Un- ited States, •are clinging stub- bornly to concepts that were acceptable 25 or 30 years ago." One of the most dangerous of these is the belief that agricul- tural groups should be a com- bination of "an action com- mittee and a social club," he said. (Mr. Cameron recently re- turned to his native Canada after working with U.S, farm organizations for five years.) "If indifferent or self-seek- ing people are elected to boards of directors, we get ineffective farm organizations; if dedicat- ed, well informed men are el- ected to our boards, we get associations that blaze pioneer- ing trails for others to follow," the speaker noted. He said that "Canadian ag- riculture has an achievement record which is about average for any given industry," but that average effort has not been good enough. "The average effort has re- sulted in many farm organiz- ations developing a bad case of "governmentitis" or desper- ately searching for all-wise saviours who •are supposed to provide leadership. Governmentitis becomes a disease when organizations fail to act realistically, run to government for assistance, then find they can get help with the inevitable rider that an element of government con- trol must be accepted as part of the deal," the speaker said. Mr. Cameron noted that farm organizations have a responsibility to continue seek- ing the best possible prices for agricultural products, but FAME County and Township Meetings will be held at Exeter Legion Hall, Thursday, Nov. 17 at 8.30 p.m. Wingham Town Hall, Monday Nov. 21 at 8.30 p.m. Ripley Town Hall, Monday, Nov. 21 at 8.30 p.m. Clinton Legion Hall, Tuesday, Nov. 22 at 8.30 p.m. Charles McInnis will be at Londesboro on November 23 in the afternoon at the annual meeting, Huron Federation of Agriculture Your Future is at Stake ,EVERYBODY WELCOME A.

He charg- ed that waste is the inevitable result if subsidies result in in- creased production without in- creased consumption to take care of the added quantities of a commodity placed on the market. According to Mr. Cameron, many current agricultural prob- lems could be solved through "rural development or rural rehabilitation programs" rec-. ornmended by several farm. groups. He said these are based on the "simple truths" that much land now being used for spec- ific crops would' return better standards of living to .their operators if they were used for other purposes, "There is virtually no limit to the broader activities which farm organizations should be engaged," he said. "We need research into every phase of production •and mar- keting, vast improvements in information and educational programs available to farmers and realistic approaches to problems that should be solved without running to govern- ment." The speaker warned ,the many farm organizations will need to be rebuilt. "To rebuild, they are going to require dedicated, well-in-• formed leaders capable of look- ing at facts and acting on them without considering the external and internal politics involved. The organizations we need today must be controlled, governed and directed by con- scientious farmers who know what is needed and will work to get it," he said'. The speaker charged that "a peculiar, outmoded state of mind" is the only thing delaying the solution of farm problems. "You cannot work with this state of mind, because it feed's on indifference, is. fixed, im- movable •and dedicated to •the idea that things must be kept as they are because they are familiar and comfortable. "The effective farmer does not keep non-productive cattle in a herd. He should not be expected to keep non-product- ive farm organizations in ex- istence," the speaker said. SCRATCH PADS At News-Record 10 for 40c Carnation Will Build in Alberta Western Market Information has just been released by K. B, McRae, Clin- ton, through his superintendent K, B. Brawn, Aylmer, that Carnation Company Limited has •taken an option on a 24- acre site located at Wetaski- win, Alberta. Wetaskiwin ils 45 miles south of Edmonton. Present plans call for con- struction to start in the spring of 1961 and operations lantici- pated in the late fall. The plant will manufacture evaporated milk for the Western Canada Market. Aylmer will have a stake in the new operation as cans will be supplied from Carnation's Can Plant. This proposed addition is another step in ,Carnation Com- pany Limited growth in Can- ada which started at Aylmer in 1916. Since that time Car- nation have located an evap- orated milk plant at Sher• - brooke, Quebec in 1939, built the local can plant in 1951 and expanded at Alexandria, Ontario in 1952. The Alexand- ria Plant was converted to instant powder production in 1959. Mr. McRae has been with Carnation at the plant in Holmesville for the past 12 years.

It's Different Driving In Winter Weather Each year at this time, the fatality toll takes a sudden jump as early darkness and slippery roads combine to make driving conditions the most hazardous of the year, the All Canada Insurance Federation warns. Safe winter driving demands extra precautions and the Federation, representing more than 220 fire, casualty and automobile insurance firms, of- fers these suggestions to the motorist: (1) Slow down. "Normal" speeds are excessive on slip- pery streets. (2) Watch carefully for ped- estrians who may be dressed in dark clothing and unable to see because of scarves and parkas. (3) If you expect to do a considerable amount of driving under adverse conditions, in- vest in snow tires or chains. (4) If your car skids, turn your wheels in the direction of the skid but do not use your brakes. (5) When stopping on a slip- pery surface, pump your brakes rather than applying steady pressure. (6) To start on an icy sur- face, use second or high gear to maintain traction. (7) If you are not sure if the' road' is slippery, try your brakes while travelling not faster than five or ten miles per hour. (8) Beware of slippery spots beneath bridges or overpasses where the sun has not melted the ice. (9) Make sure that your car's manifold, muffler and tail-pipe are in goad condition, Each winter many are suf- focated by carbon monoxide which seeps into tightly closed cars.

TRUCKS — BEDFORD VANS urich THE CAR KING OF HURON COUNTY .. :.,,,A.J'',i,.•,,•i Exeter Taxes, Education, Vocational School Report By Federation Fieldman (By J. Carl Hemingway) Farm Forum has begun for against the land that is in the 1960-1961 season and re- ports have _already arrived at this office, Apparently the first subject "Rural Services, Who should pay?" was of top interest. According to the reports rur- al services are good and are appreciated and the ratepayers are willing to pay for these. However, school taxation still seems to be a vexing problem, School taxes do take a very large portion of our tax dollar and amount to a huge total. We can hardly say that the bill for education is too high when we are told that more money is spent on cosmetics than on education; also more is spent on alcoholic beverages than on all education. From' the Forum reports it seems •that it is •the portion of school tax that is, charged need of revision. Rest assured that your suggestions will be forwarded to those in author,- ity, Also with regard to educa- tion quite some time ago a joint resolution from the Coun- ty Women's Institutes and the Federation of Agriculture was forwarded to the County Coun- cil suggesting that a county Vocational School be set up. As a result of this the county educational committee called in the high school principals and representatives from the county high school boards to a meeting to discuss the feas- ibility of such a school. Ad- vantages and difficulties were pointed out and our County educational committee is gath- ering more information on the proposition. In speaking to some of the delegates to the irnecTenotroOnt.o I wasF,A.A guialven meeting in clerstandl that something of this sort is already in operation in frothem them, area so Perhaps we Can get some guidance With the Minister of Agri- culture's announcement that the Ontario Government in- tends to exert more control over the sale of hogs I was told of a letter appearing in one of the papers where a lady was urging the govern-• meat to prevent the producers from "Nationalizing" the sale of food', Isn't that confusing; One could imagine from re- cent statements that the sale of hogs at least, may be "Nat- ionalized" on a provincial basis but this will be by the govern- ment, certainly not by the pro- out the need for pro- ducers, This points all of us to be better informed before we speak, There are vast quantities of information avail- able, on a great many subjects. One suject of vitalinterestto all farmers in general and' to Hog Producers in particular is the question of the organization of producers processing plants. Information is available. Let us all make sure that we know the facts before we approve.— or—condemn.
