The regular monthly meeting
of the Huron County Federa-
tion of Argiculture was held
on December 10 in Clinton
with newly-elected' president;
Alex McGregor in the chair.
McGregor welcomed a number
of new directors and asked for
their support,'
Elmer Hunter, who had at-
tended Folks school at Orillia
in October thanked the direct-
ors for nominating him as • a
candidate to attend :and re-
ported an interesting week. He
reported. that the suject ARDA
was discussed at great length.
ARDA is a program to pro-
vide provincial or federal as-
sistance to Rural Comrriunities
who want to make specific
plans to help themselves.
Alex McGregor was nomin-
ated to attend the Rural Lead-
ership Forum in Orillia in Feb-
ruary. Elmer Ireland will at-
tend the Co-operative and
Marketing Workshop in Guelph
on January 2 and 3.
A number of directors ex-
pressed interest in Farmers'
week which will be held Feb-
ruary 24 to 28 at Ontario Agri-
culture College at Guelph.
Programs for this can be ob-
tained from the Agricultural
Office in Olinton. All farmers
are invited to attend one or
more days.
Alf ,_Warner, director of the
Ontario Hog Producers Market-
ing Board, gave a very inter-
esting report and stated that
they were having a number of
dead and bruised hogs arriving
at the processors' plants which
they were' reluctant to pay for.
Early in the year a commit-
tee was set up to make a study
of the situation. The result of
the committee's work, as re-
ported to the last meeting of
the board, is a sharing of loss-
es by an assessment of three
percent of the trucker's rate,
contributed by the processor,
producer and trucker. If this
does not cover the loss, the
trucker to make up the balance
on a penalty basis.
"Your board feels this will
finalize the problem, and we
hope to get this in operation
early in the new year," Mr.
Warner said.
The annual meeting of the
Huron County producers will
be held on February 11.
The Federation of AgriCul-
ture is again sponsoring a
meeting with the four area
members of the federal and
provincial governments on De-r
camber 27 at Clinton.
HOW are Opinipns formed?
I suppose we could say that we
form our opinions and arrive
at. decisions on the 'basis of in-
formation at hand.
But 'how do we assess the
value or the soundness, of the
information available?
Perhaps the next step is to
investigate the source of the
infermation. What is more im-
portant to yoe—what is said or
who says it?
I think most of us agree that
the "Who" carries art least as
much weight as the "what".
What about the people or
firms, with whom you do busi-
ness? ' There is a great deal
of emphasis placed on the relia-
bility of brand names, company
names; these indicate a quality
and reliability of the product
or perhaps .the opposite.
If I suddenly began doing
business under the name of
Spruce Lane Farms for ex-
ample, would it mean anything
to the general public? Even if
I wrote letters signing my
name under a Spruce Lane
Farms I might just be a secrd-
tary-treasurer, manager or pos-
sibly owner.
All very nicely confusing to
the people with whom I might
be dealing.
I wonder how many farmers
realize how many corporations
are conducting business under
a multiplicity of names?
From the Survey of Indus-
trials for 1962, published by
the Financial Post, I find. that

There are several 'hundred

pect if I were to condense

would be amazingly small.
Just how much then does
the farmer know about the
buyers of his product and how
much does .the consumer' know
about the manufacturers of the
commodity which he buys?

:? •
Here are looks, luxury and comfort you'd expect to set you back
plenty if they, came from anybody but Chevrolet.
-Fresh-minted styling with clean uncluttered lines that give the
'64 Jet-smooth Chevrolet its feeling of new length and lowness.
Rich new interiors with supple fabrics, (sink your hand into the
new vinyl upholstery• of the new Impala Super Sport Series, for
instance, and ask yourself if yOu'Ve ever felt softer seat covering).
Here are the niceties of Body-by-Fisher craftsman-
ship such as you'll find on expensive cars. And styliSh
touches like the vinyl-clad roof* you can order on the
Sport Coupes,
ury CHEVROLET
'''.71:4*MirMkretc.
Door-to-door carpeting and foam-cushioned front and rear
seats are standard now in all models, including the modestly
priced Biscaynes.
And there's a wealth of power to pick from. Engines from a
peppery 140-hp 6 to a 425-hp V8*. Transmissions that are refined
for smoother, more silent operation. Fourteen power tennis in all.
Then, with all of that going for you, you've got the '64 Jet-smooth
ride at Work to cushion you from road noise and vibra-
tion such as few other cars can at any price.
— Been promising yourself luxury like this someday?
Your someday is here, as your dealer will gladly show you.
