Misinformation, misinterpretation and straight misrepresentation of the General Farm Organization legislation presented a difficult problem for the Ontario Farmers Union in its campaign against GFO proposals, Walter Miller, OFU president, said Friday night in Guelph. He charged the misinformation was deliberately broadcast, while the misrepresentation occurred by GFO speakers appearing under OFU guise. If farmers were fully aware of the hydra-sided nature of the June 24 ballot there would be a resounding `NO' vote. Mr, Miller said GFO propaganda, alleged that Plan A of the OFU would be incorporated into GFO if that plan won approval. That was completely untrue, completely unrealistic. There was no way for Plan A to be reconciled with Bride feted by friends Mrs. Gordon Schwalm and Marjorie were hostesses at their home for a miscellaneous shower for Miss Verlyn Miller, RR 1 Hensall, a bride-elect of this month. Twenty fuur relatives, friends and neighbors attended last Friday evening. The house was tastefully decorated in pink and white motif. Mrs. Harry Caldwell, a former school teacher of the bride-elect read the presentation address, and Dorothy Kipfer, Dorothy Skea, Ann Bell, Shelly Kipfer and Marjorie Schwalm presented the lovely gifts.

McEwen who compiled the bride's book presented it to the bride-elect. Luncheon was served. Out of town guests were the groom-elect's mother, Mrs. Huston and her two daughters from Sarnia. GFO proposals which had resulted from the government's farm income committee's recommendations and which, apparently, received the blessing of the Ontario Federation of Agriculture, an organization whose aims were at variance with the interests of the grassroots farmer. Plan A, he said, would ensure that farmers retained with their organization control of their products, while GFO would separate the farmer and his production and would be government-controlled, and would be administered for the benefit of agro-business and the private industrial sector. The only change under GFO would be to worsen the farmers' position. "The whole point is, nothing will be changed except extra millions of dollars will be extracted from farmers by compulsion. This will be decided before farmers know what kind of organization they will have," Mr. Miller said. "Any farmer who swallows the idea that there is any possibility of Plan A being included in GFO operations is being led down the garden path and will be taken for a long walk," Mr. Miller declared. Mr. Miller said the issue was clear cut. "Is the new farm organization the brainchild of government, to be operated for the benefit of farmers or for the benefit of the establishment?" He felt the answer was simple, and he said the farmer should not be fooled by rosemary promises that Hensall UC on vacation The concluding service in this church will be next Sunday, June 22 until service again the first Sunday in August. During this period, the congregation will join with the Presbyterian congregation for their morning worship when they will then worship with this church for the month of August, Rev. H.F. Currie and family will be on vacation for the period the church is closed. everything would be lovelier under GFO. He saw no hope of anything under GFO but continuation of the same depressing factors for farmers that existed for many years, and that, he alleged, was the intention of GFO. "GFO," said Mr. Miller, "is merely holding out a carrot before what it regards as a donkey." `Grass roots' to take part For the first time in history each constituency will have "grass roots" participation in a planning policy conference to be held by the National Association of the Progressive Conservative party in October. This remark was made in Clinton Wednesday by National Association president Frank Moores, who was the guest speaker at the annual meeting of the Huron County Federal PC Association. Frank Walkom of Goderich was re-elected president of the Huron group and the vice-presidents are Clayton Laithwaite, RR 1 Goderich; Eddy Powell, RR 1 Wingham; Fred Heaman, RR 3 Parkhill; Mrs. Bob McCabe, RR 4 Goderich; Barry Wenger, Wingham and Harry Hayter, RR 2 Dashwood. The secretary-treasurer is Mrs. Harvey Andrews of Clinton and the directors are Robert Chaffe, Exeter; Valentine Becker, Dashwood, Ivan Hearn, Lucan; Earl Mills, Walton; Jim Donnelly and John Hardy, Goderich and Gordon Grigg, William Dale and Mrs. Fred Thompson, all of Clinton. Named as honorary presidents were Huron's MP Robert E. "Bob" McKinley and Elmer D. Bell of Exeter, past president of the Ontario PC Association. In explaining the change in planning conference policy, Mr. Moores said that if the party is to be s ;:cessful, policy must come from the people. The PC party now has almost evolved into having an opposition state of mind, be said. "This must be changed if we are to form the next government." Moores also said that national headquarters in Ottawa is in the throes of establishing a speakers' bureau which will make speakers available for any PC function in the country. Headquarters will also do surveys and data processing as a method of making known what people are thinking. Teach-ins for campaign managers will be sponsored, he said. The emphasis will be placed on special programs and policies for the youth "so they may be comfortably involved with our party." Give talents at Dashwood By MRS.
