BELL LINES by W.W.Haysom your telephone manager Bell Canada people are turning up everywhere these days — in Spain, Turkey, Greece, the Philippines, the Bahamas, the Barbados, Nigeria, Kenya, Uganda and the United States. And they aren't on vacation. It's all part of our rapidly growing consulting services program. Under this program, Bell Canada specialists in various fields provide advice and training on a paid consulting basis to foreign telephone companies. Negotiations for our most recent contract — with the Spanish Telephone Company — began in 1967 when Spanish telephone authorities were in Canada and gained first-hand information about this country's telecommu- nications. Last month, 10 Bell Canada men flew to Ma- drid where they will be stationed for about six months. They are responsible for recommending long range plans for the Spanish long distance network, the Madrid met- ropolitan network and for future methods of charging for custom-dialed long distance and international calls. While it's a fact that Bell Canada people are turning up all over the world, it's also true that people from all over the world are turning up at Bell Canada — visiting our Panorama of Progress in Telecommunica- tions. After just one year of operation, the Panorama has received more than 34,000 visitors hailing from Can- ada and the United States, and from such distant points as Australia, Kuwait, Russia, Great Britain, France, In- dia, South America. Particularly popular with students — they con- stituted some 40 per cent of last year's visitors — the Panorama puts sound, light, demonstration and nar- ration to dramatic use in telling the story of man and his communications through past ages, in modern times and into the future. A Bell Canada guide escorts each group of visitors along a fascinating journey through time. Each tour takes about an hour and a half and the narrations are given in either English or French. Even though the Panorama has only been open for a year, it is becoming well known as one of the prin- cipal tourist attractions in the city of Montreal. If your holiday plans include a trip to la belle cite, we hope you'll drop in to see our Panorama. It's open Monday through Friday and, since the Panorama is so popular, we suggest you phone or write to us first to make a reservation. That way you'll avoid any delay between your arrival and the time the tour gets under way.

"With this new Treflan, we can grow beans on dirty land as weir,' says Ken Mailoux. "Treflan gives me 100% control of foxtail, lambsquarters and pigweed," says Clifford Wildblood. Treflan is giving beangrowers the weed control they need to help lower labour costs and achieve better profits. Ken Mailoux of Comber, Ontario, found the worst weeds in his soybeans were pigweed and lambsquarters. Now "Treflan is controlling the weeds very well," he says. "This year, because of all the rain, I haven't been able to rotary hoe, and Treflan's really done the job for me," Clifford Wildblood farms a fertile clay loam that can really grow white beans — and weeds — at Chatham, Ontario. He's been using Treflan for two years now "with very satisfactory results." Clifford finds it pays to make sure Treflan is properly incorporated in the soil before planting time. And it's simple to do. "I work it in, disc both ways before planting .. that's all," he says. Treflan can help you achieve results like these.

PH: 262.5626 Times Advocate, May 15, 1969 Pape Campaign foresees a The Ontario General Farm Organization Campaign Committee considered that the enabling legislation to provide for a GFO gives Ontario farmers every opportunity to build and operate their own organization, consistent with minimum controls to safeguard all farmers. This was the gist of a statement made by Chairman Malcolm Davidson in Toronto on May 8, following a meeting of the campaign committee. The legislation in essence gives to the founding convention the power to establish the structure and membership of the organization. The bill establishes the fact that checkoff money collected by marketing boards and associations must be forwarded to the GFO. It also establishes the maximum checkoff that may be collected. If the vote succeeds, the legislation . provides for an interim management committee which will be allowed to do three specific things: conduct elections of delegates; conduct election of Provincial Council directors; and hold the first annual convention. The committee suggested that no member of the interim committee should be eligible for election to the executive of the GFO at the founding convention, and that all members of the interim committee should be farmers. Until the founding convention all Ontario farmers will be members of the GFO, and will elect three delegates per 1000 farmers on the basis of the 1966 census. The Campaign Committee foreseesa real danger that, should farmers fail to get together through a GFO, they will be Graduate at Ridgetown At the annual graduation exercises at the Ridgetown College of Agricultural Technology yesterday two district youths received their diplomas. Graduating from the two-year Agricultural Science course were Wilfred Riddell, R.R. 2, Granton and Bert Visscher, R.R. 1, Hay. Bert, the son of Mr. and Mrs. Peter Visscher received an Honours Diploma and also the Canadian-Imperial Bank of Commerce trophy for proficiency in Agricultural Engineering. Among those from the district that have successfully completed their junior year at Ridgetown are Henry Neevel, Hensall; Duncan Etherington, Hensall and Harvey Wernham, Denfield. WILPRED RIDDELL This week the Ontario Milk Marketing Board and the Egg and Fowl Producers Marketing Board joined the growing number of marketing boards and other organizations that have issued statements supporting the organization of a General Farm Organization for Ontario. These statements can be accepted by farmers as a genuine and important commitment to do everything possible to help the GPO in its efforts on behalf of all farmers, Malcolm Davidson, Brncefield, commented in Toronto on May 9, "It is this sort of cooperation that will ensure that producers will have the benefit of a marketing board that can concentrate on marketing together with a GFO that will have the wider responsibility for the overall welfare of the farmers of the province," Mr. Davidson said. "This is the sort of teamwork that will be needed, if the unsatisfactory income position of Ontario farmers is to be put right." The Ontario Milk Marketing Board has stated publicly that the board "is prepared to support the formation of the GFO and, in fact, has provided considerable support one way and another over the past 18 months toward committee danger driven from their farms by thousands. What this means, Mr. Davidson commented, is that four percent of the labour force can be easily ignored by society in general and by politicians in particular. To achieve equal recognition with other segments of society, farmers must make maximum use of marketing legislation and the legislation on a GFO which is now before the Ontario legislature. "Farmers must work together, " Mr. Davidson said, "using all available help to maintain an industry of independent businessmen who also recognize that some collective action is essential for their individual survival. The situation in agriculture is just that serious." The need for a single strong general farm organization in Ontario, was sparked ',by the report of the Special Committee" on Farm Income which suggested, among other things, that some farmers might be better off if they left the farm. The GFO Campaign Committee is pressing for a strong general farm organization but the committee neither approves nor disapproves other parts of the report. Indeed, the Campaign Committee believes that a new GFO should give priority to study of the report to determine which parts it can approve and which parts it must reject in the best interests of farmers. Reitoire Crops are going in slowly this year in Huron County due to the wet spring we are having. Very little corn is in as yet, but some of the farmers have started. Most farmers are over half done with their grains, but due to last weeks heavy rains seeding has been delayed. Some young stock has been turned out to pasture.

"It is prepared to cooperate with the GFO in all areas of mutual interest and, in Particular, to work through the GPO in representations to government." "The Ontario Milk Marketing Board is particularly interested in establishing at a very early stage a close and continuous liaison with whatever commodity committee of the GPO is to be charged with responsibility for dairy industry matters." The Egg and Fowl Producers Marketing Board Directors state flatly that "a GFO is necessary and will benefit egg producers." The board takes the position that producers must have the right to decide for themselves on a GFO, The Egg Board is critical of any group or person that tries to interfere with GFO campaign committee's efforts to inform Farm vacations are advertised The Ontario Federation of Agriculture has completed the first phase of an extensive program which will allow farmers across the province to "harvest" the only crop which thrives on wasteland, requires little moisture, needs no expensive machinery, and has a ready and growing market. The Federation is circulating a brochure throughout Ontario advertising Farm Vacations. The publication is a catalogue of Farm Vacation hosts. Each farm is described and special details are included. Rae Cunningham, Federation Director of Properties, has been working very close with the 0 F A Farm Vacations Committee. He describes the brochure as the first of an annual publication. Mr. Cunningham stresses that a growing number of people want to spend their precious vacation in the great outdoors. "A Farm Vacation is a better way to see and appreciate the open spaces as they really are," he comments. "A wide variety of activities are possible, depending on the preference of the guest and the facilities of the host." The brochure is also being circulated to government travel offices and outlets. The Federal Farm Credit Corporation provided approximately two-thirds of the farmers' credit needs in 1967 in the long-term mortgage field. farmers on the issues at stake. Egg Board directors are emphatic that a GPO should be well-financed and autonomous and should allow for the continued function of producer marketing boards, However, the Egg Board takes the stand that the relationship of Marketing boards ann the GFO can be decided after the establishment of the GFO. Earlier, directors of United Co-operatives of Ontario and United Dairy Producers Co-operative pledged the cooperation of these large co-operatives, whether or not the organizations are represented on the Provincial Council of the GPO. The executive of the Ontario Fruit and Vegetable Growers Association has also given the GPO a wide measure of support and has indicated that after the vote the organization will move rapidly to work out the best way in which the association can co-ordinate its efforts with those of the GFO on behalf of fruit and vegetable growers in Ontario, The GFO campaign committee expects that more organizations and individuals will come forward to assure farmers that they, too, will work with the GFO "to develop, perform, and carry out programs for the benefit of farmers," - to quote from the General Farm Organization Act.
