Highlights of the Huron County
Federation of Agriculture direc-
tors' meeting March 10:
In reporting on compensation
for Hydro line from Seaforth to
Clinton, the secretary stated
that as yet Ontario Hydro had
not replied to the request of
the farmers concerned to have
a representative of hydro, who
had authority to make definite
offers, to meet with them.
Resolutions were brought in
by the committee protesting the
expenditure for straightening the
curve east of Auburn and a sec.
and requesting' legislation by
which anyone selling grain to a
dealer would have the right to
demand the cleanings from grain
sold to the dealer.
Grey township presented res-
olutions which were approved -
first, that the federation con-
tinue to'> press for compensation
for livestock lost from rabies
and, second, that more assist-
ance be givenby the OFA in
providing speakers for county
and township meetings.
Bob McGregor reported that
the bus tour to Fulton county
by the beef producers was now

all seats in the bus were taken,
Mrs. Alex McGregor and Mrs,
Frank Yeo reported on the lead-
ership training course they at-
tended. at Vineland. A three-day
course will be held at Hanover
next January. Mrs: Yeo, who
was representing the farm for-
ums said the farm forum TV

better get out to one of these
meetings and learn the 'rules of
the road before we lose too
many points.
As the meeting cl8sed there
was some rather heated discus-
sion on the advisability of farm-
ers publicizing the exceptionally
low feed costs per pound of gain
on. livestock. It was pointed out
that while farmers realize that
these figures generally fail to
allow for labor, capital invest-
ment or depreciation the con-
sumer is more likely to protest
the seeming high cost of food.
Support continuation
of immigration .policy
Mondaynight's forum meeting plans for a turkey banquet on
concludethe program for this --
season for several of the forums.
On the topic "Immigration and
Emigration" the majority of
members favored the continu-
ance of Canada's policy of die
criminating against immigrants
on the basis of color, nationality,
education; religion and health.
Health. is reason
FatiJfield •Forum, at the Home
of Mr. and Mrs. Earl Haist, with
26 members entering the discus-
sion, felt that Canada's policy of
discriminating against inuni-
grants should continue especially
for health reasons.
Their concensus was "If Can-
ada considers her responsibility
to assist the people of other Mr. Carl Oestricher led in dis-
countries she should be as gen- cussion for the Unique Forum at

ing the problem of immigration
concluded that, as long as there
is as much unemployment as
there is,' a tight control of immi-

"Canada should continue the
policy of immigration as she has
been doing" was their verdict.
Continue control
Parr Line Forum members
were in agreement that Canada
should continue to control immi-
gration suggesting they consid-
ered it better for not too many
immigrants of one nationality to
