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. aTtenert Farmers, preeident'Murray Hoover ex- blailied It was beCeining itiCreaS, .Actually, there are he tieW;e1110.

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.

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.
