"Under the Dental Act, the Minister of Health and the Minister of Education are members of the governing body which must include a member elected by and from each body granting degrees in Ontario. "Under the Medical Act doctors can elect the governing body. However, the legislation specifies that there must be a representative of each degree granting faculty on that governing body. The Minister of Health is a member of the Council. "The lawyers are worse off. The Law Society Act provides that the Minister of Justice, Solicitor General (Canada) and the Attorney General of the Province must be members of the governing body which must include ex-treasurers and life benchers as well as elected members." Under the GFO legislation, farmers will be able to elect all the members of the Provincial Council, the governing body of the organization. The same people who are crying "government control" are telling farmers that the legislation to States report is misleading Vice President of the Ontario Farmers Union, Ellard Powers, said today that a recent GFO Campaign Committee Press Release is misleading. The press release stated that the Ontario Milk Marketing Board's decision to support the GFO proposals was unanimous, and that some directors of the O.M.M.B. were also members of the Ontario Farmers' Union. Mr. Powers said, "The O.M.M.B.'s decision to support the GFO was made prior to my election as a Milk Board Director, and I made my views clear to the Board that I do not support the present proposals for a GFO." Mr. Powers stated he objects very strongly to anyone misusing his name directly or indirectly indicating his support for the GFO. Mr. Powers said that the O.M.M.B.'s Board of Directors is well aware that if a decision to support the GFO was taken now that it would not be unanimous. "I do not support the GFO and will not support it until changes as requested by the Ontario Farmers' Union are made, and furthermore, when and if I then will support such changed proposals for a GFO, I am quite capable of issuing a press statement myself," he continued. "I am sick and tired of other people telling everybody what my decisions are," said Mr. Powers, "I am deeply concerned with the mistruths and half-truths that are being spread around about what the GFO really is, especially with reference to the One General Farm Organization hit. The proposals for a GFO as presently outlined are not for one farm organization as farmers are led to believe. The end result of the present proposals will be a multitude of organizations as we have had for years. I have no quarrel with a future decision of Ontario farmers if they really know and understand what they will vote for, The real question now, is what kind of a GFO, what will it do to improve farmers' incomes? With the present propaganda and half-truths, farmers are pitted against one another and the created cleave will be too large to bridge. We need to unite farmers as farmers. Some people are trying to scare and confuse the farmer by telling him that a General Farm Organization will be government controlled, Malcolm Davidson, Brucefield, chairman of the GFO Campaign Committee, said in Toronto today. "These people have either not read the legislation or they are deliberately misinterpreting it," Mr. Davidson said. Farmers will be asked in June to vote on whether or not they want a General Farm Organization to represent farmers interests. The vote is being planned because many farmers have become discouraged by the efforts of two under-financed organizations — the Ontario Federation of Agriculture and the Ontario Farmers Union — to speak for farmers. Some of those who are opposed to a General Farm Organization are concentrating on the cry of "Government Control". "Let them look at the legislation that governs the so-called self-governing professions," Mr. Davidson said. "Some of them can't even elect their own governing body."

Hensel! Phone: 262-2605 provide for a GFO will prevent the integration of marketing boards into the GFO, Mr. Davidson said. He added: "This is simply untrue." The Ontario Minister of Agriculture and Food has stated publicly that there is nothing in Bill 140 to prevent farmers from wiping out marketing boards, amalgamating them or integrating them within the GFO. "Our own lawyer, a farm marketing specialist from St. Catharines, has made the same statement to the GFO Campaign Committee," Mr. Davidson said. Producers who market farm products through a marketing plan can, on majority decision, have their products marketed through a GFO, Mr. Davidson said. "It is up to producers to decide the question themselves." Page 14 Times-Advocate, May 29, 1909
