While many parliamentarians
have been recipients of strong
criticism from farm groups over
the past year, such was not the
case when the Huron County Fed-
eration of Agriculture presented
their briefs at their annual meet-
ing with area members of parlia-
ment in Clinton, Wednesday.
Most of the briefs contained
only a summary of the past year,
and some contained praise for
federal and provincial govern-
ment assistance.
Only two parliamentarians at-
tended the meeting. They were
Huron MP Robert McKinley and
Huron- Bruce MPP Murray
Gaunt. The Hon. C. S. Mac-
Naughton and Marvin Howe did not
attend.
Federation president Elmer
Hunter suggested that regional
planning of land use may be
needed to protect farm acreage.
Land use planning may not
seem important in a predom-
inantly rural county such as
Huron, he noted, but said lack of
such planning is forcing up the
price of Huron farm land.
"As farmers from other count-
ies are either forced off or priced
off their land, they come to our
county to buy land, hence the price
goes up."
He said Huron was in a fav-
orable position to do something
about land use, but added it would
take "a lot of co-operation at all
levels of government and a lot of
understanding on the part of the
people to get the job done.
"We cannot afford to go on
in this helter skelter use of
land," he concluded.
Hunter also made comments
regarding pollution, noting this
was everyone's problem, because
everybody contributes to it.
He suggested there was some
buck-passing among government
departments who kept passing the
problem along to other depart-
ments.
"This is a problem for all
government departments, so let's
see all departments forget their
jealousies and work closer to-
gether to solve our problems,"
he said.
Concluding his brief remarks,
Hunter said "it is about time that
we in farm organizations came
down off our pedestal and start
working with each other, with
government, with industry, with
labour instead of opposing all
others, and as a result, getting
nowhere'',
"I believe through co-opera-
tion and understanding all our
problems in agriculture can be
met," he said.
WANTS PARTS
Federation secretary Mrs. Ed-
ward Fear submitted a brief
On behalf of farm women, urging
legislation to force appliance
inahufaetUree to carry replace=
Ment parts for their products.
She Said Many women find 'ap-
pliances suffer breakdowns
quicker than what is often rea.‘,
ebnable, and to add to the
tress. the costs of repairs are
Multiplied many times because
manufacturers do not supply siin ,
pie parts for replacement, 'but
Offer only a Complete mechanical
Unit for repairing the machine.
"DeaterS and repairmen red=
ogrilte the waste in thiS system
but 'are helpless, as far as
Correction is concerned," she
explained.
She'gave two ekatriples, one
being a repair for an eleitent In
a toaster, While the elements had
previously been available for
$2,60 the Manufacturer now Only
tuPPliee a complete new toasting
unit at $6,00.
The ether concerned a heating
Unit ter a clothes 'dryer, The
element, if available, would cost
OM, but the unit tepid -dement
which is available is approxi-
mately $50.00.
"We think that once the buyer
is committed to a purchase, she
has a right to expect the manu-
facturer to supply her with repair
parts at a reasonable cost," she
said. "We think the practice now
in effect is a deliberate attempt
to influence consumers to buy
new equipment."
Mrs. Fear said many women
were not in a financial position to
do this, and many were forced
into a position of an unsound
credit position.
"We can ill afford this waste
of consumers' money, not to
mention the waste of manufactur-
ing man-power and materials,"
she concluded.
The Huron Plowmen's Asso-
ciation, through Simon Hallahan,
asked the provincial government
members to discuss t h e possi-
bility of allowing students time
from school to attend coaching
sessions and plowing contests.
He said one day of coaching
was required before the boys
could compete on a better basis.
"It does seem rather queer
that they can get out of school
to play ball and other sports, and
as Huron is an agricultural
county, let us train good plow-
men which in turn will enable
them to plow a straight furrow
in any profession that they may
follow later.
END OF COW
One of the most unusual state-
ments made at the meeting came
from Roy Williamson, chairman
of the Huron Cream Producers.
"The end of the dairy cow
seems to be in sight," he said,
after noting the growing number
of butter substitutes, imitation
milk, coffee cream, etc.
Martin Baan, chairman of the
County Milk Committee, suggest-
ed governments have a respon-
Sibility to protect the producer
and consumer in this regard.
icMany feel legislation should
be passed so that we can have a
combination of both, so that filled
milk can be made with skim milk
powder, or half butter and half
margarine; etc."
"Pure milk and milk produce
are still the best source of pro-
tein for children and yoUng people
and it should be made available to
all," he said.
He commended the government
for the milk testing program,
suggesting this will bring about
a more economical prOdUctiOn of
dairy produce which in turn will,
like the milk subsidy, benefit
the producer and consumer.
Baan concluded his remarks
by repOrting that the farm Capt.
tal grants were most beneficial
and Urged that they be continued
"for some years to coine ,o,
GOOD PROGRAM
Warren Zurbrigg reported for
the InettranCe CoMmittee and
Urged the parliamentariant to
"give every considera=
tion and study before you lean to-
wards a government type of auto
agency",
He said there was no other
company he krieW that is operat ,
ing at costs turning profits back
to the CO,•Op'S _policy holders.
He said that while some laver
government control of auto In-
surance because of the rising
insurance cost's,. he stated this
would Would alwayS be the eaSo as 'long
as accidentS are More numerous
and more people are bespitalited.
Zurbrigg pointed but that cars
are more eXpeinsiVe and So are
parts.

Announce New
Healing Substance:
Shrinks Piles
Exclusive healing substance proven to shrink
hemorrhoids and repair damaged tissue.
A renowned research institute has
found a unique healing substance
with the ability to shrink hemor-
rhoids painlessly It relieves itching
and discomfort in minutes and
speeds up healing of the injured,
inflamed tissue.
In case after case, while gently
relieving pain, actual reduction
(shrinkage) took place
Most important of all—results
were so thorough that this improve-
ment was maintained over a period
of many months.
This was accomplished with a
new healing substance (Bio-Dyne)
which quickly helps heal injured
cells and stimulates growth of new
tissue.
Now Bio-Dyne is offered in oint-
ment and suppository form called
Preparation H. Ask for it at all drug
stores. Satisfaction or your money
refunded.

ingly difficult to conduct meetings
because many members were in
school and couldn't devote the
time required.
Very few married couples are
staying in the five county clubs
and "because this situation has
developed the local clubs are
finding it increasingly difficult
to organize any programs re-
lated to farming or even in some
cases to secure enough competent
people to fill the offices of the
club".
"It is therefore difficult for
the county organization to for-
mulate any policies that might
be related to government action
or to speak on behalf of the
younger farmers of the county," •
he concluded.
The other reports heard at
the session in Clinton came from
Elmer Powe, chairman of the
Soil and Crop Improvement As-
sociation; J. R. Henry, chair-
man of the Wheat Producers;
Robert McAllister, chairman of
the Hog Producers.
Powe reported that soybean
test plots were set up in Huron
for the first time this year.

List winners
from contest
Mrs. Art Frayne, who makes
decorations as a hobby, turned
it into a prize winning venture
when her home at 251 Carling
Street was judged the best in the
annual house decorating contest.
Most of the elaborate decora-
tions featured around the house
were made by Mrs. Frayne and
her husband and she estimated it
took her about one and a half
months to make the various
decorations in her spare time.
A dozen choir boys stood
around the house and another
eight were set in front of the
garage door, which also featured
an organ, a picture of the nativity
scene andi a sheet of music en-
titled, "We Wish You a Merry
Christmas".
Another manger scene was
erected south of the F rayne's
house and the doors were gaily
decorated and adorned with bells.
Mr. and Mrs. Dave Cross, 60
Hillcrest, had a large nativity
scene on their garage door and
a• huge "Silent Night" over their
home. It was judged second.
Third prize winner was the
home of Mr. and Mrs. Doug Wed-
lake, 186 Huron West. It too
featured a large mural on the
garage door and a walk rimmed
with candy canes.
The judges found their task
most difficult due to the increas-
ing number of decorated homes
and listed a large number of
honorable mentions.
They were: Russ Broderick,
Cal Wein, Fred Darling, Hilton
Laing, Fred Huxtable, Murray
Brintnell, Doug Harrison, Bob
Pooley, Ted. Jones, Eugene Beav-
er, Tony Relouw, Harvey Pfaff
• and Harold Taylor.
