Ontario Farmers Union
President, Walter Miller speaking
to a full hall in Rodney outlined
the main problem facing the
farmers of today. He stated that
agriculture is made up of two
sides, the industrial side and the
farmers.
It used to be that the
industrial side had two parts, the
input side and the output side
but now both sides are owned
by the same company,
The farmer is told what to
pay for his inputs and what he
will receive for his outputs all by
the same company putting the
farmer in the squeeze in the
middle.
Mr. Miller quoted from a
New manager
for Exeter Co-op
Jack Schell has been
appointed manager of the Exeter
District Co-op. He replaces Ron
Andison who held the position
since last summer,
Mr. Schell is a native of Port
Elgin and has been with
Co-Operatives for the past 22
years. Eighteen of those were
spent in Port Elgin.
He has been active in
community affairs in Port Elgin
and served on the recreational
committee. He is a member of
the curling club and Legion and
is a member of the United
Church,
He is married and has two
sons and two daughters, two of
which are in high school.
The announcement of his
appointment as manager at
Exeter was made by Donald
Bray, RR 3 Exeter, president of
the local Co-Op.

novel by Carl Wilkins, a well
known economist, called "All
New Wealth Comes From the
Soil" in which it stated that
every dollar earned at the farm
level multiplies itself seven times
as it passes through the economy
of the country.
Therefore, if the farmer is
short changed by one dollar, the
economy is short changed by
seven dollars. Under these
circumstances the concentration
of economic power is controlled
by industry. Therefore
government is controlled by
industry,
We can't expect government
to set up an organization that
will help us against industry.
Why was the value for duty
taken off corn? The department,
of agriculture said the Americans
didn't like it. Mr. Miller when he
was in Ohio speaking to twoi
thousand farmers asked ifit were
they who didn't like it and it
wasn't them so it had to be the
industrial side.
When the truth is known it
was a case of an American
company sending their corn
across the lake to their depot on
this side, not a Canadian
company importing American
corn. In view of this the Union

Lucan and district Lions Club
held the regular meeting in the
Anglican Church basement with
77 percent attendance. The
guest speaker was district
governor Lion Herman Rahn,
London, who was paying his
official visit to the club.
Three members of London
East Lions Club, three from
Mount Brydges and zone
chairman Joe Kovacs, Strathroy,
also attended as guests.
The district governor
reported on club activities in his
area and also on Lions
International.
He mentioned that Lions
International works closely with
CARE and they recently made
arrangements for one airplane a
day to be flown into Biafra
where 25 to 50,000 persons a
day die of malnutrition. This
one airplane carries 12,000 cans
of high protein liquid food and
one half an ounce is sufficient to
feed one person per day,
He also reported where a
Mexican Lions Club with 987
members had one committee
comprising 50 members which
had build ..15 schools in the last
10 years and another committee
of 50 members which had built
six hospitals. The average
attendance at a meeting is 2,000
including the wives and children.

Mr. Miller also commented on
the two recent meetings held
with the Ontario Federation of
Agriculture. The Union rented
the room and set up the
meetings at the Lord Simcoe
Hotel in Toronto. At the first
meeting most points for the one
farm organization were agreed
upon. It was agreed five to one
that all autonomy go to the
organization.
At the second meeting the
0.F,A. reversed their decision
and laid down the plan drawn up
by the farm income committee
as the only plan they would
accept and refused to negotiate
on anything else. This leaves the
Union to unite the farmers of
Ontario and Canada.

An ageless question asked by
most students nearing
graduation is "What career for
me?" Agricultural students at
Centralia College may have the
answer by now after attending a
Careers Symposium at the
College on Tuesday night.
The program, jointly
sponsored by the Ontario
Institute of Professional
Agrologists (Western Branch)
and Centralia College, brought
students and representatives
from agri-business, farming and
government service together for
discussion of this question.
Senior students interested in
choosing a career or furthering
their education heard speakers
describe the opportunites
available to them. Later they
were able to meet in small
groups with the speakers to gain
further answers,
Discussion leaders in these
groups were: Ian McAllister, P.
Ag., Zurich; Michael O'Shea,
Granton; R. A. (Sandy) Forsyth,
P.Ag. London; Philip Clark,
Goderich; Helmut Loewen,
P.Ag., London; Gerald Klopper,

Don Pullen, P.Ag. Clinton; Dave
Inglis, Clinton; Bill Baxter,
P.Ag., Springfield; Neil

Each speaker stressed the
importance of gaining an
understanding of the basic facts
upon which agriculture operates.
All felt that the diploma course
in agriculture provided these
along with training and practices
in clear logical reasoning.
