Union man stresses
care in organization
The guest speaker at
Tuesday's annual meeting of the
Lucan local 174 of the 'Ontario
Farmers' Union stressed great
care should be taken in forming
a single farming organization.
OFU's vice-president Ellard
Powers of Beachburg said "It's a
real concern to me that no one
jumps the gun before all the
issues can be studied,"
"The fundamental principles
and the things necessary for one
farm organization are a
voluntary direct membership
and a compulsory levy on all
farm products. The board of
directors must be elected by
farmers and to be truly effective
should be ultimately integrated
with all marketing boards,"
added the OFU ofRcial.
The committee on, farm
income agreed with the Union's
first two points but wanted a
board of directors that is
federated from all organizations
and that the purpose of the
general farm group is to establish
and advise the food supply
agencies.
This would be comprised of
people representing consumers,
government, marketing agencies
and farmers,
Mr. Powers also stated that in
the farm income committee
report some recommendations
were made without sufficient
research to base them on.
In closing, Mr, Powers stated
that the Farmers' Union is
continuing to negotiate to form
one provincial and ultimately
one federal farm organization
that would control all farm
products.
The election that followed
the meeting at the Lucan Arena
appointed the following to
govern business of the local for
the year 1969: president, Joe
O'Neill, vice-president, Joe
Vader; secretary-treasurer, Mike
O'Neill; board of directors, Ted
Giesen, Henry Giesen, John
Mcllhargey and John Martin.
