Canada Depa r tment of
AgriPPIWP, Gordon L. 11111,
president of The. Ontario
Federation -of Agriculture said
this week, adding that these
changes come when, returns are
already too low."
Mr. Hill .said he is very
disturbed with the proposed
-changes, especially with the fact
that dairy farmers will lose
about SO-million. in funds,.
The federation president
pointed out that "the hog
premiums will be an equally
serious loss" to producers, He
said that this will be especially
apparent when the hog
production cycle reaches its
peak,.
Mr. Hill went on to stress that
the government,. in a period
where inflation is a serious
reality, is unwilling or unable to
curb rising production costs.
"Yet they do not hesitate to
cut the incomes of farmers
which are already well below
those of other parts of Canada's
prosperous society," he said.
"Farmers are not causing the
rising inflation, . but they are,
being heavily penalized because
the government cannot control
it," he continues.
Mr. Hill suggests that a special
debate be held in the House of
Commons on the proposed
changes in agricultural policy.
Mr. Hill asked what
government plans are for
adjusting farmers' futures. He
said he wonders what the
government expects farmers to
be able to do to gain a living
elsewhere without assistance and
direction.

The effect of 'industry on
agriculture was the theme of the
meeting of the Huron County
Federation of Agriculture annual
banquet in Londesboro
November 26.
Over 200 farmers from Huron
County heard Don White, public
relations officer from Bruce
Nuclear Station, explain the
atomic energy plant at Douglas
Point.
President of the Huron
County Federation, Elmer
Hunter, told the gathering that
the federation as a whole needed
finances, and could and would
do a job for the farmers as the
one and only Ontario Farm
Organization, if each individual
farmer would give support such
as was in evidence at „the
meeting.
Bat Allan,' on the untario*
Federation board, with two
other members from Huron
County, Malcom Davidson and
Gordon Hill, felt that Huron
County was well represented on
a 16-man board. If all counties
were working as was Huron and
Bruce, then there would be no
need to have began the Direct
Membership setup now being
tried out. If this type of
membership is followed through,
then there could be local groups
rather than county groups such
as Huron County.
The farmers must become
aware of what the federation is
doing for them and a good deal
of public relations is needed.
Each Township Federation of
Agriculture can promote the
federation for farmers by
holding information meetings, at
which time the service

Pig pollution
said damaging
Kippen farm
' A'' TttckeismitIf `Township
farmer's wife told a court of
revision in Brucefield last week
that taxes on her farm will not
be , paid until water and air
pollution conditions affecting
the property are remedied.
Mrs. Edison McLean of RR 3,
Kippen, said an open piggery
sewage lagoon, 1,320 feet away
at a neighbor's farm, is a
"cesspool" which is detrimental
to her health and reduces the
valuation of the property to
"nil"
The court deferred its
decision.
Glenn Webb, a member of the
board said:
"We can sympathize with
your problem but we are here to
see that all properties are
assessed equally "
The century-old McLean farm
is located 11/4 miles west of
Kippen.

Sixty teachers of the

Association met in St. James

from his district and reminded
the teachers their association is a
professional organization —
complaints should be submitted
as resolutions through the local
unit to the Ontario Association

Toronto in March.
One complaint voiced at the
meeting was about the make-up
pf the,(,,economic policy (salary
negotiating) committee. Sister
Shirley explained that the
committee had to be set up to
meet a deadline from head office
and hence the members were
appointed. She promised in the
spring the members of the
committee would be elected at
an open meeting for the next
term,
Another complaint made was
that a principal's relief had to
pay the $60 federation fee for a
part-time salary, the same as a
full-time employee, Following
the discussion Sister Shirley
suggested a resolution be
prepared to cover the situation
and it would be submitted.
Following dinner at the
Legion Hall, reports on the
annual conference on Christian
curriculum development held
earlier this fall in,Toronto,
'Mass was celebrated following
the panel discussion.
The members later retired to
the Legion for a cheese and wine
party.

but was, only carrying 13 when
he signed his contract, The
board agreed to increase his pay
to $14 daily retroactive to Sept.
2.

reported on his progress in
updating the libraries in the
schools and plans to arrange for
libraries where none now exist.
