O.:AS-1115 qV 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.
