Dear Editor,
You have discussed the
General Farm Organization in
your paper.
Now the time has come for
the farmers, their wives and
families over 21 who are actively
engaged in farming to vote.
The 3 questions in brief are:
(1) Do you want one farm
organization?
(2) Do you want marketing
boards to have a vote?
(3) How do you want to
obtain membership?
We need one organization
strong enough to keep up with
agricultural advancement.
Two instances come to mind
where we are behind this
advancement.
(1) Our production has
surpassed our available markets.
(2) Dairy and butter spreads
are being marketed but are still
being taxed for Excise Tax
because they are not on the list
of exempted goods.
Ladies we have been given a
chance to say what kind of an
organization we want. We can
not live in a little community
any more; what we produce and
sell are affected by the world's
situations.
Lets get out and vote on June
24 and have a say in our
agricultural happenings. If we
don't turn out in a large
percentage we may not be given
another chance.
So vote on June 24.
Yours sincerely,
Mrs. Ed Hunking

Dear. Sir:
After attending many
meetings held by the G.F.O.
campaign committee I am
completely convinced that the
idea they are promoting can not
improve the farmers income.
This is the main problem with
farming today.
As I see it, the G.F.O. is
aimed at protecting the
government cheap food policy
from the Farmers Union's
collective bargaining effort.
Through one of these bargaining
programs I have saved my Union
dues for one year. This is the
kind of action I need.
I don't need help with my
social life. Mr. Gerry Long
claimed the G.F.O. is to help
farmers socially and not worry
about prices. I can't condone the
collecting of a checkoff to pay
for this type of an organization.
I urge all farmers to go to the
polls June 24th. The only way
The majority of the top
awards at Tuesday's Hensall Calf
Club show held in conjunction
with the Hensall Spring Fair
went to the Passmore and
Coleman families.
The award for the best finish
and the grand championship
along with the Times-Advocate
trophy went to Paul Passmore,
son of Mr. and Mrs. Lorne
Passmore of Usborne township.
The reserve championship
was won by John Coleman, son
of Mr. and Mrs. Bill Coleman of
Kippen. Placing third in the
same event was a calf shown by
Beth Passmore, a sister of Paul.
The Coleman family was back
in the limelight when a 979
pound calf owned by Les
Coleman showed the most net
gain of 493 pounds since it
arrived in the area from Western
Canada last fall.
Top showman of the 43
members that showed their
calves was Bob Kinsman while
Les Coleman received the junior
showmanship award.
Darling's IGA of Exeter
represented by Jim Darling
purchased the grand
championship calf owned by
Paul Passmore for 46 cents per
pound. Canada Packers of
Toronto paid 461/2 cents per
pound for John Coleman's calf.
The top price paid at the fair
one year ago was 401/4 cents per
pound with the average being
321/4 cents per pound. According
to Bill Coleman of the Hensall
Calf Club this year's average
price was about 36 cents.
The recent favourable
weather has produced good
growing conditions. Most of the
spring grains are up and growing
well, plus a lot of the spraying of
grains and corn has been done.
Almost all the beans are
planted now. Some farmers have
started to cut hay for haylage.
this vote will pass is by lack of
interest on the part of farmers.
Make sure you and your wifes'
opinion is heard. GET OUT
AND VOTE. I AM VOTING
NO.
Yours Truly,
Joe O'Neill
R.R. No. 3,
Lucan, Ontario.
Placing behind the Passmore's
and John Coleman in the best
finish department were calves

Market, Hensall; Merner's
Market, Dashwood; Denfield
Livestock Sales; Ray Bell,
Kippen; Ray Ingram, Hensall
and Huron MP Bob McKinley.

junior point getter and received
a trophy donated by Lloyd
Mousseau.

4wartz and George Beer was
taken by Nelson Bilyea of
Granton as the top senior
