Miss Laurie Calimente, from
Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, a
recent university graduate, told
the members why she became
interested and involved in the
National Farmers' Union
movement. While attending
highschool she joined a group of
students who sponsored school
dances and published the school
newspaper.
They published some of the
farmers and Indian's problems.
Immediately after this
publication the funds were cut
off from their group but they
continued by thoroughly
studying the courses offered at
the school. In the history course
they discovered there was
history of everything but
agriculture taught. The province
of Saskatchewan was built
around agriculture.
At university she and some
fellow students continued their
research, discovering there is
only one farmer on the board of
directors of the university.
By now she realized this
whole system would have a great
and undesirable effect on her
life regardless of what field of
endeavor she entered. At this
point she discovered what the
Saskatchewan Farmers' Union's
aims were so she joined in the
organizational drive at the
district level and has continued
with the National Farmers'
Union. She is now working at
the task of organizing on a
nation wide scale.
"A farmer has to realize he
has a problem then he can
immediately see that through
unity he can solve it," she said.
Also the young people have a
great deal at stake and must get
involved.
Peter Twynstra, National
Junior President from Ailsa
Craig, congratulated the young
people on their attendance and
the quality and quantity of
questions which they asked. The
percentage of youth in
attendance gives me more
confidence that we are on the
move and in the right direction

The Recommendation that
the first person named on the
committee to be chairman of
that committee was carried.
Mr. Roy Pattison of Wingham
chairman of the County
Development Committee told of
the sale of the new assessment
building in Goderich by the
Province at a rent of $19,002.00
to use as a Huron-Perth
Assessment Centre.
Two recommendations from
the executive met with approval
from the meeting:
1. If the resources of any county
are used in another county to
sell direct service memberships,
then that person should be paid
by the Provincial Organization.
2. That we invite all direct
service members in our county
to participate in our county
meetings. The secretary to send
each of the members, notice of
meeting, agenda and minutes of
the last meeting.
The federation approved a
resolution recommending public
liability and property damage
insurance on all implements of
husbandry that travel on Ontario
highways.
The resolution committee,
recommending the coverage,
noted that movement of
implements on highways is
becoming increasingly hazardous
because of the number of
high-speed vehicles.
The executive and
educational committee reported
it had reviewed the federal
proposal for tax reform and
approved in principle Mr.
Benson's white paper.
Lack of proper equipment to
fight rural fires was cited by Bob
Broadfoot of Brucefield. Mr.
Broadfoot levelled criticism at
area fire departments.
"These fire departments are
kingdoms of their own and they
won't call in another fire
department until it's too late,"
he said.
He was referring to a Tire
Tuesday which destroyed the
home of Mr. and Mrs. Donald
Lobb of RR 2, Clinton.
An official of the Clinton
volunteer fire department said
his men had the fire under
control when their 500-gallon
tank truck ran dry.
The meeting was attended by•
30 federation directors, four of
whom had suffered similar
disasters in recent years in which
lack of water was a major factor.
Mr. Broadfoot urged a
resolution be sent to Huron
County council recommending
radio-equipped fire vehicles and
better-equipped departments.
As an example, he said his
own community's (Brucefield)
fire department recently
purchased a 1,000-gallon tanker,
which can be manned by one
person, as a back-up unit for its
500-gallon pumper truck.
The Ontario Federation of
Agriculture must make a
concerted effort to explain, and
have farmers across the province
express opinions on, the report
of the Special Committee on
Farm income. To this will be
added to other reports, such as
the report of the Federal Task
Force.
OFA President Gordon Hill
has called on township and
county federations to have
special meetings to study and
debate the proposals and ideas in
the report. He also states that
the decision reached at these
meetings should be carried' to
the OFA to help form policy.
The Federation was led last
year by Past President Charles
Munro in accepting various
recommendations and proposals
of the report of The Special
Committee on Farm Income.
Mr. Hill hopes that "the
difference between 1969 and
1970 will be that we shall have a
little more light on the subject
and a little less heat."
The Federation leader says -
that he will be amazed if farmers
do understand the Farm Income
Committee Report, "in view of
the very definite efforts of a few
to mislead farmers about the
contents of the report.
"it is my hope that farmers
will make the necessary effort to
study the Farm Income
Committee Report," he adds.
He also believes that it will be
very helpful if those trying to
explain the report to farmers
take the necessary time to
understand the report
themselves before speaking.
He emphasizes that "this will
be one of the jobs of responsible
farm leaders."
Mr. Hill emphasizes that the
basic philosophy of the Farm
Income Committee Report,
"That farmers must decide what
policies and programs they want

Beef producers
to visit farms
The Huron County Beef
Producers have planned a bus
tour, for January 22nd to visit
farms in the south part of the
county. Stops will be made at
the farms of Jack Bell and Jim
McGregor at Kippen, Wm.
Rowcliffe, Hensall and Harry
Hayter, Dashwood.
A banquet and Annual
Meeting will be held at the
Huron Centennial School,
following the tour. Tour and
Banquet tickets are available
from your local directors or the
Ontario Department of
Agriculture & Food, Clinton.
Did You Know?
Only seven per cent of the
world'seople live in Canada
and the United States yet more
than a third of the world's
supply of beef and veal is
produced and consumed within
these countries.
More than 2,700,000 pounds
of cranberries were grown in
British Columbia in 1969.
And that the government should.

not impose policies on farmers,"
Voting rights
are criticized
Voting rights for direct
(individual) service members of
the Huron County Federation of
Agriculture were criticized at a
directors' meeting held in
Clinton, Thursday.
Gerald Carey of Cromarty,
fieldman with the Ontario
Federation of Agriculture, said
42 new members to date had
joined the Huron federation
under the direct service branch.
Direct service membership at
$25 per person, was introduced
last summer to keep individual
farmers in close contact with the
provincial organization. Under
the scheme, the OFA feels it has
a direct pipeline to the farmer.
Thursday's meeting approved
participation of these members
at all county meetings and
instructed federation secretary,
Mrs. Faye Fear of R 5, Brussels,
to forward, with meeting
notices, a copy of the agenda
and minutes of the previous
meeting.
But when the majority of
directors agreed direct service
members should have a vote,
objection was voiced by Bob
Broadfoot of Brucefield.
Mr. Broadfoot said these
members should be free to
attend meetings but he was
strongly opposed to their having
a vote.
"We could end up with a
loaded meeting by sending out
notices," he said.
For example, he said, one
township grant to the county
federation might amount , to
$1,000, giving that township one
vote. But with individual
memberships of $25 each such
person would receive a vote.
Following the meeting,
past-president Elmer Hunter of
RR 3, Gorderich said it was
decided at a recent executive
meeting that a motion would be
passed at each meeting giving
everyone present the• right to
vote, including individual or
direct-service members. This
procedure will continue, he said,
until the next annual ,meeting at
which time the practice will be
discussed.
"It is rather strange that the
Federal Government has to cut
the dairy subsidy by ten million
dollars because they are short of
funds but can turn around and
write off a debt of seventy-five
million dollars owed the
government by the Ford Motor
Co. who's profits in 1968 were
reported to be fifty million
dollars, stated Peter Myers. "It
just does not add up," he said.
Mr. Myers, who is director of
organization for the Ontario
Region of the National Farmers'
Union, was speaking 'at the
Regional meeting of the
National Farmers' Union held in
Oshawa, Dec. 29.,and 30, 1969.
"To correct such situations as
this takes a fight which in turn
takes a united front therefore
top priority is being given to the
membership drive this winter. It
is necessary to know who the
enemy is. All farmers must be
