""we hear complaints of the rising cost of food," he said, pointing out though that the Canadian consumer was now able to buy a wider range of quality food at a more reason- able cost than ever before. Doubles visit County Home since :to maintain their standard of living. Quoting from another source, he said, "we've been forced to run like hell just to stay stand- ing still," uput we don't need sym. pethy," he quickly added, ""we need understanding, But how do we get them to understa.nd?gow do we communicate?" He predicted that if city peo- pie understood the situation they wouldn't mind payieg abit more for their food, adding that the consumer was confused and didn't know what the farmer received for his products. Ross said farmers were part- ly to blame in their lack of public reletions and also for being egotistical, He hinted the Federation of Agriculture may be hurting the image of the farmer by holding its annual convention in the Royal York hotel in Toronto. Noting it was the biggest and probably the best in Canada, he said he wondered what city people thought when farmers met there for conventions. They may think of the sub- sidies and the low-income far-. mer and may wonder if they're n or the FIRST time ever Hay and' Stanley F ederation of Agriculture held theI r emmal 104 meeting last Wednesday in the Community Centre, Zur" WO, with 250 people served hot turkey batique(catered toby the up ladles of prlot, Har- 01d. Campbell president of ggy acted as chairman. Guest ,speaker for the evening was Reg Black„ secretary-trea- surer of Hay Fire inserence who presented an interesting talk on the progress of science in the field of coAnnnieations from medieval times to the present atomic age, with a look into tomorrow. He stated that the installation, of dial system in the area was in keeping with the rapid ad- vancement of communications.. He said it was poseible to nave peeped circuit TV in Zurich in the near future. Mr. Black ex- plained, the use of DDD in the area also the electronic means of recording DDD calls on tape in Lendon which are shipped to Toronto for processing, then returned to London in ticket form which is sorted finally by electronic machines. Mr. Black pointed out the various changes in the insure ancp field and predicted insur- ance companies would probably consider the moral risks in- volved. Farmers who were once insured for $2,000 are now insured for $10,000, more than being led down the garden path when they see 300 to 40Q farin- erg spending four days at the Awn.' YPrk, he opined. ge even went se far as to pay some city people may wen, der if the farmers got to Tor- onto by driving their Cadillacs or by flying down in their own private eirplanes. Ross noted that .subsidies are degrading and cause embar- rassment to farmers, but, they are necessary to upee up through the change". He said he was fearful that if city people got the wrong im- pression they may bring pres- sure to bear that could hurt other farm programs. He concluded his address by noting the Canadian taxpayer has only three cents of his tax dollar go to agriculture end that this pays for the subsidies, research, operation of research farms food inspection services and administration costs. "I fail to see why people should be concerned and neglect to think about the other 970," he said, quickly adding it may be because farmers haven't done a good public relations job. -wilewoor OFFERS THE USED CAR BUYER IN WRITING By MRS.

' BOB TAYLOR 12 MONTHS OR 12,000 MILES littrOrt County farmers tending the annual meeting of their Federation of Agriculture, ''/..140.04Y,. 'Were -told once again about some of their problems especially in creating a Wore able image for themselvegl. But the guest speaker who outlined. the problems and the needs :failed to come up with many concrete ideas as to how they could overcome their prob., tems, The main theme .of the speech given by James V. Ross, direc- tor of information for the One tarie Federation of Agriculture, was that farmers have failed to do a good nubile eeletions job to overcome some of the felse impressions their urban cou- sins have of them. ',Maybe you have suggestions on how it can be improved," he stated in concluding his talk. No suggestions were and in fact no time was even given at the Lorideehoro annual for any suggestions from rnerne leers present. But at least members and guests left the meeting knowing they still have problems, just In ease some of there tied fore gotten since the lest time they heard similar speeches. Ross termed farmer-consu- mer relations one of the ""most neglected areas" concerning farmers, and said it was one of the most important facing them. After telling his farm audi- ence that they were called such defamatory names as ""hypo- critical beggars", ',greeters" and ',exploiters of labor", Ross encouraged the F of A members by pointing out he felt there was little difference between far- mers and city people. ',We're all Canadians and there's a bit of good in all of us as well as a bit of bad." He went on to point out that farmers have ahuge investment in comparison to other forms of industry and commerce in Canada. He cited figures showing that the average dairy producer has WARRANTY LESS PERCENTAGE Rose admitted that the con- Sumer is spending more money on food, but it is actually a smeller percentage of her hus- band's wages. To point this out he noted that $10 would buy enough food for a family of four in 1936, while it was now only up to $25 for a family of four. “But the take home pay has increased four fold in that time," he said. He also used figures to show that the Canadian consumer uses less of her dollar to buy food than the consumer in any other country, with possibly the exception of the U.S.A. ""We should have no shame in our efforts to society and the economy," the information director explained. The government subsidiza- tion of farm products was re- ported by the speaker to be one of the major causes of mis- understanding on the part of urban people, He explained it was direct subsidy and city dwellers could possibly be excused for thinking the farmer has his hand in the till all the time. However, he said that ""al- most everyone" is subsidized in one way or another, citing unemployment insurance, tar- iffs, etc. The Ariens with dependable 2,stage operation handles any kind of snow fast and efficiently under the worst blizzard conditions.
