There is no reason to believe that they would be any less successful in any other project they set their minds to. For some years now the de,. mends being made on the Fed- eration have been increasing to the point where finances will riot permit further services, The meeting felt that the par- ticipation in the TV and Radio programs provides a valuable service. Certainly many farm- ers have 'benefited through compensation from hydro, pipe- line, and highway easements as a result of the efforts of your organization. Many, too, have found the credit available through your township council for tile drainage quite helpful. Currently the Federation is making a study of taxation in order that a more equitable method may be achieved for rural property owners: In order that these projects may be carried on along with many more it was recommend- ed that either the township units increase their payment to the county so that it would equal one half mill or approach their -township councils with a request that the levy be in- creased to the one half mill. This would increase the Fed- eration levy by 50 cents on a $5,000 assessment.

A resolution passed at the OFA 1960 annual convention, and subsequently taken to the Ontario Government, asked for heavy penalties to be provided for destruction of farm 'live- stock and property by care- less bunters. The resolution also called for licensing of per- sons who carried firearms for target practice es well as hunt- ing- The proposed amendment to the Game and Fisheries Act reads: Every person is guilty of the offense of hunting care- lessly who, being in possession of a firearm or .airgun for the purpose of hunting, discharges or causes to be discharged or 'handles such firearm or air- gun without due care and at- tention or without reasonable consideration for persons or property, and is liable to 'a fine of not more than $500 or to imprisonment for a term of not more than six months or both. "If this amendment is fol- lowed up with good policing, providing it becomes, part of the Act, the OFA request will in large part have been met by the ,Legislature's action." Mr. Tilden concluded.
