BELL
LINES

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. The
phone number is 870-8895 in Montreal or write: Bell Can-
ada, Panorama of Progress in Telecommunications, 601

Beangrowers find Treflan
ensures effective weed control.
"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.

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.

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

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.

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.
