The feud was particularly noticeable in Huron County, where Alex D. McGregor was the president of the liFA and also of the county FAME com- mittee. At that time he backed FAME's policy, Also last year, shareholders were notified no plant construc- tion would commence until $4,- 000,000 was raised. At the Huron County "urgent meeting" in December, many farmers were of the opinion that the fall of FAME would be a disastrous blow to all farm or- ganizations and agriculture in general. That remains to be seen. Forum debates farm problems Twenty four members of Fairfield Farm Forum met at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Her- man Powe, Sanders St., Mon- day night to discuss "The Out- siders" by which term rural young people are meant. It was noted that rural com- munities have higher school drop-out rates and lower col- lege graduate rates than urban young people. Members felt if the youth in this community were ambitious enough they could get sufficient education for a good living in our district. One group pointed out that most farm boys are satisfied with the living on the farm and can take a greater responsibility than urban youth either on the farm or in the city. One member suggested that "We must live simply to enjoy living so many on the farm do not need a college education." To the question "What changes need to be made in your community's approach to education?" several members suggested that more vocational training could be useful to both adults and young people on the farm. Next week the group will meet at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Wellington Haist, town.

Johnson The bid by a segment of On- tario farmers -- including about 1,500 in Huron County-- to es- tablish their own livestock pro- cessing plants appears to have failed with a report this week that the Farmers' Allied Meat Enterprises Co-operative have been forced to forfeit a$1,500,- 000 down payment on the F. W. F earma,n Co. Ltd. in Burlington. An additional payment of $1,- 150,000 was due on the plant Monday, and when it did not come through the processing plant went back under direct control of the former owner and he has been reported as saying he would not refund the down payment to the farmer-owned group. It is expected the loss will bankrupt FAME, but officials of the organization have de- clined comment in this regard, Meetings were held throughout Ontario when it was first an- nounced that FAME needed twice as much money as it had, but only an estimated $250,000 was realized in an "eleventh hour" bid to raise enough cash to save the investment. Huron County shareholders asked FAME directors to seek help from other farm organiza- tions, but the leaders of seven of Ontario's largest farm or- ganizations declined to offer any assistance when asked to do SO last week at a meeting in Toronto. Uncertainty clouds the fUture of four slaughter and feeder plant sites at Ayr, Mariposa, Mitchell and Neustadt, on which about $368,000 has been spent. The figure includes the cost of the land and money spent on con- struction costs, land prepara- tion and architects' drawings. Construction had not started on any of the sites and it is believed mortgages of $30,000 are still outstanding on the Ayr and Mariposa sites, FAME was organized f iv e years ago with the aim of rais- ing $10,000,000 through the share of 100,000 common shares at $100 apiece. Only 14,000 or so shares have been sold. With the money, it was hoped to establish a chain of seven meat processing plants across Ontario. Last year FAME ran into criticism from the Ontario Fed- eration of Agriculture due to the fact FAME would not answer questions about its program and finances from the organization supported by 100,000 Ontario farmers. "We feel that Ontario agri- culture cannot afford to stand by in a disinterested manner while FAME attempts to go it alone," the OFA declared, "There is too Chats with brother first time • in years of Woodham with Mr. & Mrs. Fred Roger.
