Malcolm Davidson, Brucefield, chairman of the' committee, say$ that all who have a stake in the farming industry should vote on a general farm organization and on the form a GFO w.iil take. The younger people who are committed to fanning as an Occupation will be directly affected by the proposed GFO. Hence they should have a voice in forming such an organization. Many farm operators depend on the active help and participation of their wives, In view of this fact, wives must be encouraged to participate in setting up the GFQ. The Ontario General Farm Organization Campaign Committee maintains that the proposed GFO must represent people, must represent all farmers in Ontario and as a result of this conviction recommends that: PROCLAMATION TOWN OF CLINTON In accordance with a resolution adopted by Clinton Town Council and the usual custom; hereby proclaim that: DAYLIGHT SAVING TIME will be in effect at 2 a.m. Sunday, April 27 And revert to Standard Time at 2 a.m. on Sunday, October 26: And call upon all citizens to observe this proclamation. DON SYMONS, Mayor, Town of Clinton. 17b -• All farmers who produce and sell one pr more farm products should be eligible to vote; — Partners, wives and family members, over 21 years of age who are actively engaged in the farm operation on a full-time basis, should be eligible to vote. Members of the Ontario General Farm Organization Campaign Committee are; Malkolin Davidson, "Brucefield, chairman; Kenneth MacLeod, Owen Sound, Ontario Broiler Chicken Producers' Marketing Board; Kenneth McKinnon, Port Elgin, Ontario Milk Marketing Board; and Delmer Bennett, Foresters Falls, formerly on the executive of the Ontario Farmers' Union. John Dolmer, immediate past president of the Ontario Farmers' Union, has said that rumors of his supporting the GFO vote committee are absolutely false, and only made to intentionally mislead farmers. He said that as a former president, and now an active member at his district level, he wanted to emphasizehe fully agrees with the OFU provincial board's decision not to support the GFO campaign, which in his opinion is the government's farm income committee's proposals, "We believe we have been around farm organization long enough to realize farmers cannot be united simply by having a vote, and another compulsory deduction made on their production," he said. "The illusive groundswell being created now will not organize farmers — it may bring about an organization that will whip them into, position though, and even eliminate thousands," he predicted. Mr, Dolmer said he believed when the OFU entered into discussions many months ago it was on the basis of studying the formation of one farm organization, "Now," he said, "apparently the objective is only to have one less organization, and emerge with a revamped federation of agriculture with a two and one half million dollar budget."
