He writes on automation i "What is automation? To me automation describes the use of 6% PAID ON machines to do tedious1 or ex­ acting jobs, formerly d'one by human labor. "A man who has just lost his job to a machine may describe automation -in more unpleasant terms while his former employ­ er regards it as a necessary tool in today’s complex world. ■ "Automation removes many of the problems’ that employers have With humans. Machines do not have unions. They do not demand shorter working hours, more pay, or a longer coffee break. On the other hand they have to contend With high pur­ chase prices, power' failures, and the fact that almost as soon as a new automatic system is in­ stalled it becomes obsolete. "Many people today think of automation as a menace to- em­ ployment. They fail to realize that it takes many skilled' peo­ ple to design, bulild, and install modem, automated equipment. While it is true that a few peo­ ple lose .their jobs, to-machines, it is not true they can do noth­ ing about it. "There are many oportunities far these people to obtain train­ ing in the operation and main­ tenance of these machines. “Automation is increasing the need for educated people, par­ ticularly engineers with a broad understanding of the social, technical and economic aspects of production systems.” Wesley-Willis UCW To Meet March 14 Monday, Marell 14, 8:30 p.m., Starlight Circle will meet at the church.

(RCAF Photo) Matter of Principle The Arab And The Camel J, Carl Hemingway I’m sure that the action tak­ en by the Farm Products Mar­ keting Board against the Ont­ ario White Bean Growers last month came as a shock to a great many farmers. While the action taken did not surprise me, the ruthless and dictatorial way >it was done was a decided shock. During my school days, as pupil and teacher, history was and still is a fascinating sub­ ject. Events don’t just happen. Rather one event leads to an­ other and it is. seldom that events are not the result of a subtle and well considered plan of someone or some group. The pattern of Government policy toward Agriculture has been unfolding so consistently over the ten ar 13 years' when I have been intensively active in Farmers' Organizations that I feel quite safe in forecasting that within ten years the price of our farm products will be set directly or indirectly by govern­ ment controlled Boards. . Many years ago in' the Second Reader there was a story of the Arab and the Camel: The Arab camped at the oasis in the evening and after supper went into his tent to sleep. As you know the sand of the des­ ert cools quickly and at mid­ night the Camel came to the tent and asked 'his master if he could put his head in the tent, out of the cold. The .master a- greed. Not long after, the Camel again wakened the Arab, com­ plaining that his neck was cold. Again the Arab gave in. Later it was the Camel’s shoulders, then his back was cold. Finally since he was in that far the Camel suggested that he might as well come right in. The Arab moved over to the edge of the terit and the Camel entered. However when the Camel went to lie down there just wasn’t enough room so in order to save himself from be­ ing crushed the Arab had to get but. When morning came the Camel slept comfortably in the tent and the Arab shivered in the cold outside. John Turner Stars In Thurber Drama John Turner, formerly of Clinton, played the leading role in "The Thurber Carnival”, a patchwork of Thurber sketches, soliloquies and dramatizations, put on by the Arts students at the University of Waterloo in mid'-February. John, who is the son of Mr. and Mrs. James Turner, Mary Street, Clinton, and grandson of Mrs. Margaret Farquhar, Clin­ ton, played James. Thurber him­ self. Reviewed in the Kitchener- Waterloo Record, the presenta­ tion was given excellent rating .—land praised with the state­ ment that "Thurber Would have loved ilt.” James Thurber is noted for his dimple genius with line sketches of out-sized rabbits, and strange floppy great dogs, and grotesque men and women Which accompany his humorous writings. >—h>-. ■--.-o---- - It lis expected that some 300 amateur groups from across Canada will perform at Expo 67. They will appear in five band ShOllS dotted throughout the exhibition grounds, Choral groups, dancers, bands and spe­ cialty acts will all take part. The Expo Corporation wants to give talented young Canadians a chance to show What they Can do in an international at­ mosphere. The take-over of the farm economy by government has, followed the same procedure' but since there is such a variety of products the path is more difficult to follow. The Ontario White Bean Growers was certainly one of the earliest Farmer-controlled Marketing groups and, I think, Would be second only to Honey Producers In processing their product and selling to the retail trade. Since the Honey Producers represent such a small' portion of the farm income, as far as I know, they have failed to at­ tract the attention of Govern­ ment and are still functioning unmolested, The White Bean Growers for many years, while providing a real 'benefit to the Growers, were not too aggressive and didn’t process a significant per­ centage of the crop and oper­ ated effectively unnoticed. The Hog Producers were the first to upset the status quo. Due to exceptionally strong 1 leadership and dedication of one man in particular Charles Mc­ Innis and the strong support of a comparatively small number of county farmers the hog pro­ ducers of Ontario, by vote, were able to gain ■ control of the miar- .keting of all market hogs in Optario.

The Plan effectively increased returns to producers but more important large and small producers re­ ceived equal pitice for equal quality to an unprecedented de­ gree. This1 Plan also effectively stopped vertical integrations by the 'hog processors' by which they could have regulated farm prices. The Packers complained so loudly that Government decided something had to be dope. Stops were taken. First, the Co-op­ erative had to be dissolved. Second, the method of sale had to be changed. Pressures ap­ parently were applied success­ fully to cause dissention in the Hog Producers Board of Direc­ tors and eventually a majority voted to accept both of the Government’s "suggestions”. Success! The Hog Producers' organization is held up as a model in Farm Marketing and the Packers no longer complain. A 'growing number of produc­ ers are voicing dissatisfaction but not very loudly because they don’t know what to do. The camel has succeeded in' warming his head and neck.
