The National Farmers Union
and the Ontario Federation of
Agriculture are following similar
policies in the fight for a fairer tax
system.
The decision of the Ontario
members of the National
Farmers' Union to join the
Ontario Federation of
Agriculture members in the fight
for a fairer tax system was
welcomed by OFA President,
Gordon. Hill. The Ontario
Federation of Agriculture has
been telling the Ontario
government that the farmers were
united on this issue and have beep,
receiving a great deal of support
from Farmers' Union members 'n
the fight to ease the heavy tax
burden.
Tee main difference between
the position of the OFA and NFL
is that the Federation membere
are taking their stand against the
education tax load, and are urging
farmers to with hold the
education portion of their taxes
only. The NFU have apparently
decided to urge their members to
withhold all municipal and
education taxes.
"We are not blaming or
condemning municipal
councillors," said Mr. Hill, "they
are administering the local
municipal services as
economically as possible, we do
not feel that farmers should
withhold taxes from the
municipal councils. But, that is
President speaks
to F of A group
The Director of the Home
Economics Branch of the Ontario
Department of Agriculture and
Food, Miss Helen McKercher, was
elected president of the Canadian
Agriculture Extension Council at
the Annual Conference held
recently in Winnipeg.
The Canadian Agriculture
Extension Council was
established to provide directors
of agriculture and home
economics extension services
with an opportunity to study new
approaches in conducting
extension education programs in
rural areas, and to discuss
common goals, programs and
policies related to current
adjustment in rural Canada. The
Council's membership includes
directors from the ten provinces.
Miss McKercher feels that the
Council is of vital importance in
furthering the development of
assistance programs for rural
areas. It gives each province the
opportunity to consider the value
of proven programs for use in
their province, to increase their
awareness of the problems
encountered in current programs
and the type of programs needed
in today's agricultural
communities.
The value of rural
development programs, as Miss
McKercher pointed out, is
evident in the success of Ontario's
programs for rural homemakers.
In the last ten years, the number
of women and girls enrolling in
the Branch programs has
doubled. Part of this increase is
the result of program changes
based on a survey in which some
350 rural homemakers comment
on the attitudes, values, interests
and way of life in rural Ontario.
"Rural development
programs," Miss McKercher
stresses, "must be more than just
a means of passing out
information. They must help
each person in the rural
community make better use of
time, money, abilities, and, where
necessary, help in adjusting to the
changing patterns of life."
Fee is reduced
for track use
Monday night the Middlesex
County Board of Education
agreed to charge a reduced fee of
$25.00 for Ole use of Dorchester
High School track and equipment
for an eight-week summer
program sponsored by the North
Dorchester parks and recreation
committee.
The reduction, from a normal
$2.00 per session, was made at
the request of the Recreation
Committee. The program is a
pilot project with a very small
budget.
The board also ratified a
five-year agreement to purchase
education from Perth County
Board of Education for students
living in part of West Nissouri
Township who normally attend
St. Mary's District Collegiate. The
agreement is retroactive to
September, 1969.
up to each. farmer. We are
confident that the vast majority
of farnlers will back the action to
Withhold education taxes. We are
pleased that the Farmers' Union
Members have joined the fight."
The Ontario Federation of
Agriculture have been urging for
a system of taxing for education
which should be based on the
ability-to-pay. Owning property
does not prove ability.to-pay
taxes.
Ina report from a government
source Tuesday, the Ontario
government is prepared to take
over the major burden of
education taxes imposed on farm
land.
Name president
of Ag council
About 80 persons attended
the July meeting of Huron
County Federation of
Agriculture to hear Gordon Hill,
president of the Ontario
Federation of Agriculture.
Mr. Hill in his remarks
suggested that farmers withhold
the education portion of their
taxes "for 20 years we have been
trying to get a more equitable
levy of school tax" he said
"education tax should be based,
not on property assessment, but
on income, which is "a true
indicator of your ability to pay."
The OFA backs the
withholding of the education
portion of the tax and Mr. Hill
went on to point out examples of
unfairness.
Mr. Hill also commented on
the issue of the importation of
the powdered milk from Ireland
and said the OFA is supporting
the Ontario Milk Marketing
Board and the Nation Farmers
Union in their demands that the
imp ortation be stopped.
Mason Bailey, individual sales
co-ordinator, reported that sales
had risen 10% over last month
and that there had been requests
from three townships for sales
blitz, as a result of the successful
blitz in Grey Township, where
over 1/3 of the farmers joined the
organization.
Other business, the directors
turned down the proposal for 5
districts in the county preferring
to stay on a township level.
A resolution dealing with
asking CPR and CNR railways to
maintain their fences in a
satisfactory condition was
passed.
Cost of the government
propdsal, said to have received
unanimous support by cabinet,
would be about $25,000,000 in
1971.
It would be in addition to the
government's announced
program of increasing its share of
municipal education costs to 50
per cent from 41 per cent. The
first step in that program, taken
this year, was to increase grants to
municipalities so that the
province now pays about 50 per
cent of education costs.
The federation and the
National Farmers' Union have
been urging farmers to withhold
the education share of their
municipal taxes next year to
protest what farmers believe is
the unfair burden they bear in
_elation to urban dwellers.
The government source said
that although the federation is
insisting it wants the province to
bear 100 per cent of education
costs, surveys by rural members
of the legislature in their ridings
indicate most farmers would be
satisfied with the provincial
With school now out, 4-1-1 is
just getting into full swing.
For the past week, (June
21.26), three of Huron County's
top members were at 4-H
Leadership Conference held in
Guelph. The members were Doug
Harding, son of Mr. and Mrs.
Elmer Harding, RR 1 Gorrie; Paul
Passmore, son of Mr. and Mrs.
Lorne Passmore, RR 3 Exeter;
and Brian Miller, son of Mr. and
Mrs. Edwin Miller, also RR 3
Exeter.
There are several events
coming up in the County that will
take in many 4-H members, not
only in Huron but also in other
parts of the Country.
A 441 member from
Shawville, Quebec, will be visiting
in the County from July 9 - 20.
His name is Ron Eades and he will
be spending a week at the home
of Mr. and Mrs. Ross Trewartha
and family, and another week
with Mr. and Mrs. Cliff McNeil.
Also in July there will be a 4-1-i
exchange between Glengarry and
Stormont Counties in the east
with Huron County. The
proposal to remove the taxes
froin land but not from the farm
dwellings.
The effect of the withholding
tax .policy in the south part of
Huron County is hard to assess.
The deadline for collection of
interim taxes for the year 1970 in
the townships of .Stephen, Hay
and Usborne was dune 30.
At Stephen, ,clerk Wilmer P.
Wein reported to his eouncil at
Tuesday's regular meeting that
63.5 percent of the interim taxes
had been received and no. one had
deducted their education portion
when making tax payments.
Hay township clerk Wayne
Homer said about 70 per cent of
his municipality's interim
payments had been made. He said
one education tax had been
deducted from the payment.
Both clerks said they had no
way of knowing how many
farmers held back their complete
tax payment because of the
education levy.
In Usborne township, clerk
Harry Strang said 76,4 per cent
of interim taxes had been paid.
Exchange will take place from
July 13-25 with the Huron
County club members travelling
to Glengarry and Stormont on
July 13 and returning with club
members from the eastern
counties on Sunday, July 19 and
would return home on July 25.
The members participating
this year from Huron are Marlene
Stewart, Neil Hemingway, David
Bean, Beth Passmore, Gord Lobb,
Fred Phillips, Teresa Devereaux,
Nancy Lapp and Rosemary Eedy.
On July 23, a county bus trip
will be heading for the North
country in the Collingwood area.
Different farms will be visited as
well as different sights of interest.
A different type of meeting
will be held this year. It will be
held in the form of a Farm Safety
Meeting. There will be two
meetings held, one in Brucefield
and Centennial School on July 27
at 8:30 p.m. and the other in
Belgrave Public School on July
30.
Anyone interested is invited to
this meeting, and we urge all
members, leaders and especially
parents to attend this meeting.
