Miller, prompts me to submit a
few minor items that might be of
interest regarding the 25% tax
rebate that is being paid to
farmers of Ontario.
I think it should be pointed
out that all Direct Service
Members of Ontario Federation
of Agriculture were contacted as
to whether this rebate was
acceptable, Seventy-five percent
were in favour of accepting this as
a first step towards more equal
taxation. I wonder if a vote has
been taken on the matter with all
members of the National
Farmer's Union in Ontario?
The Ontario Federation of
Agriculture is completely
democratic to the point that all
decisions are majority decisions.

reporting the levy of a UO fine
against a young man for littering
a highway.
According to the report, a
beer bottle had been dropped on
the road, but the youth was "in
the process of cleaning up the
glass when the police came
along."
Does it not seem odd that a
person should be charged with
littering while in the act of
cleaning up the litter; that he
should be fined for, in fact,
acting in a responsible manner?
Would you be able to find
out whether the police have
some other evidence which, if
reported, might help to explain
to the public this apparently
unjust decision.
Yours sincerely,
Constance L. Wilson
Dear Editor:
This is a sample of the
rag-weed which grows on the
road-sides in Southern Ontario,
multiplying its seed-heads
covered with pollen and polluting
the air.
Some people have to take
anti-histamine pills or allergy
shots during this late summer
season because they are sensitive
to rag-weed pollen.
There is a weed control service
or it could be a lot worse.
However I believe it could be a lot
better if everyone knew a
rag-weed to see it and realized it
was an enemy to fresh air.
Northern Ontario and Alberta
are boasting of their "rag-weed
free atmosphere" to attract
tourists and new settlers who
wish to be free of this pollutant of
the atmosphere!
The Grolier Book of
Knowledge claims the common
rag-weed is the worst offender in
causing hay fever.

Yours truly,
Mrs. M, Plumb

ED NOTE — Achoo! Sorry we
couldn't reproduce the mounted

Elect new slate
for Scout group
The Huron District Scout
Association met at the Bayfield
Arena, October 29 with Rev. R.
A.Carson of Lucan chairing the
meeting.
The Sea Scouts of Bayfield
presented the colours and the Sea
Rangers served the banquet. Mr.
and Mrs. Ted Gozzard are the
leaders of the two groups.
Dave Hutson, assistant
provincial commissioner and
Frank Spence, provincial field
commissioner addressed the
meeting and conducted the
election of officers.
Rev. Don Beck of Bayfield was
elected chairman of the council;
John Hoffmier of Goderich,
vice-chairman; R. A. Carson,
secretary; Joe Leger of Clinton,
treasurer.
Other members of the council
are Mark Dalton, Kingsbridge,
Gordon Sutherland, Ailsa Craig,
Budd Keechl, Clinton and Ron
Bushell, Goderich.
ED NOTE — The answer to
the rather mystifying news item
is the fact that The
Times-Advocate reported the
details incorrectly.
The court was told that the
youth in question did clean up
the glass, but it was AFTER
being apprehended by the
investigating officer and not
during the time he was cleaning
it up as we related.
The officer explained that he
saw the youth toss the bottle
onto the street, and after a brief
chase, apprehended the youth.
He explained to the accused
that the court might look more
favorably upon the act if the
glass was cleaned up.
The officer then provided a
broom for the job.
So, in fact the policeman
acted more than fairly in the
incident and we regret that our
news story of last week painted
a picture that indicated
otherwise.
Thanks to Mrs, Wilson for
drawing this matter to our
attention. The investigating
officer was concerned about the
story and also suggested that it
be fully explained.

Dear Editor ;
A letter appearing in a recent
issue of your paper from Maxine
What ow executive may have
wanted to do, makes no
difference, the membership gave
them this direction. I would
to hear what a similar vote from
National Farmer's Union
members would indicate, Also I
wonder how many, who reject
this rebate, will return their
cheque to the government?
I don't believe the Ontario
Federation of Agriculture has
given up on pressing for a system
of taxation that taxes people for
services to people. It may be
interesting to see what develops
in the future. First steps are not
usually last steps.
I thank Maxine Miller for
bringing one thought to my mind.
have been puzzled for many
years as to why the Farmer's
Union with its many members
and substantial resources, has not
produced more than it has in
actual economic gains for
farmers. It finally occurredto me
as I read her letter, that the reason
must be reluctance to
compromise.
A no compromise policy may
be an admirable policy, but I have
never seen it work very
successfully in business. Labour
unions have made many advances
over the years, but if you notice,
they do compromise.
Nearly every contract is
settled by compromise. They
then go on from there. It is not
reasonable to believe that Ontario
Federation of Agriculture is
practising the same principle?
When the Farmer's Union and
the Ontario Federation of
Agriculture set up committees to
establish one voice for farmers
two years ago, I could not
understand why that purpose was
not accomplished. I wonder now
if I'm just beginning to
understand.
Would not a compromise by
both sides have benefited Ontario
Farmers more than
Nationalization?
The farmers of Ontario still
need and want one voice, Are we •
going to be deprived forever of
this advantage by a few leaders
who will not compromise?
Yours truly,
Mason Bailey,
Vice-president
