Under the supervision of their teacher, Mrs. Dorothy Williams the class sang a number of their songs, performed skits and a puppet FARM VOICE t',4" show, and danced, giving the audience some idea of the kindergarten program. Above, from the left are Jess Cook, Chris Shearer, Tracy Coloquhoun, and Donna Drury. (continued from page 1) the prices the farmer receives for his produce are only 18% higher and his actual take-home pay declined by 21.1% in 1967 over 1966," he said. Mr. Bennett reviewed the steps leading up to the formation of the 16 Man Committee on One Farm Organization and their report presented on May 21; 1968. One of the recommendations made by this Committee was that an independent study be made to to tally integrate Marketing Boards and Commodity Associations into the One Farm Organization. He went on to say, "I believe, as does the Farm Union, that all farm organizations should be integrated into One Farm Organization; at the, present time you have almost 80 farm organizations and 22 Marketing Boards. We believe there should be one general farm organization to serve everyone, not just one less organization, not do away with marketing boards completely, they should be secondary or brokers in the ,general farm organization marketing the product but not setting policy. The general farm organization would set policy and then you would not have one marketing board working to the detriment of another commodity." A further recommendation from the report was that the One Farm Organization should be sufficiently financed to engage and maintain a research staff to keep under constant study such matters as farm prices and income, both domestic and export smarkets, production, tariffs and new products; such responsibilities would complement, not duplicate or replace responsibilities presently carried out by Commodity Organizations or Departments of Agriculture. ' "We must give the figures to the Government and not the Government giving them to us," Mr, Bennett'said. The report, vghich was accepted in principle by in ajority of the general assembly, was handed 'to the six than committee set up to "put meat, on the skeleton", When this is cOmpleted the Farm Union and Ontario Federation Of Agriculture will each call a convention to enable the farther to voice his' acceptance or rejection of organization. In closing he said "If and when the one farm organization comes into being in Ontario, it should begin working towards one national organization. We must have national marketing legislation to curb import of food into this country — of the one and a half billion dollars worth of food imported, one billion dollars worth could have been grown here.", Mr. Philip Durand, Zurich, Director for District 2 and a member of the six Man Committee, conducted the question period which followed.

Few people, if any, have chased a golden eagle as it soared through narrow mountain passes, or climbed a skyscraper from the outside, or watched a football game while hovering over the heads of the players. Helicopter Canada, the National Film Board's highly-praised colour documentary produced and filmed by Eugene Boyko, as the Bdard's Centennial Project and which gave Canadians the first opportunity to see their country I from above, will be given its world TV premier on Sunday, June 30, at 9 p.m. on the CTV network. Helicopter Canada is the first feature film ever to be shot. entirely from a helicopter. Star ting from the most eastern points of Newfoundland, the film proceeds across the country covering those things which are rarely seen by the average Canadian. The familiar is there too, but from a different viewpoint. Among the highlights of the film are the entrance to Quebec City high over an incoming luxury liner,' an inspection of the vast Manicouagan Dam project; a few moments with a lone prospector in the barren North; a slow ascent up Place Victoria in Montreal; a look down on Toronto's • futuristic City Hall; an aerial experience of Niagara Falls; the outstretched fields of the Prairies, and a few runs down the ski trails of the Rockies, There is no limit to the maneuverability of the helicopter. It lofts aside the tallest peaks, pursues a mountain deer through the Rocky foothills and follows the plays of a football game. It took 18 months, 542 air hours, 16,000 Miles of travels and 18,100 feet of film to do this, the proposed
