Two-DayConference At Guelph College By E. Ireland Again this year the two-day Marketing and Co-operative Conference, which was held in Guelph in the War Memorial Hall on January 2nd and 3rd, was a very successful one and attracted some sixty farmers from across Ontario representing all farm organizations. I was very pleased to have the op- portunity to attend this interest- ing and informative conference along with six other Huron County farmers. The first morning we listen- ed to four addresses t the fol- lowing men: "The Agricultural Marketing System and its Prob- lems", B. P. Perkins, 0.A.C.; "The Need for Collective Ac- tion in Marketing". David Kirk, Canadian Federation of Agri- culture; "Marketing Co-opera- tives as a Method of Collective Action", J. E. O'Meara, Co- operative Branch, O.D.A.; "Marketing Boards as a Method of Collective Action", R. G. Marshall, O.A.C. Following lunch the entire group spent about an hour's time on discussion of morning talks, We were then divided into seven workshop groups with a designated leader and secre- tary. We were given an oppor- tunity to resolve the specific questions pertaining to the problems concerned. The many points raised by the members of the workshop groups were well taken and very interesting. The second day was spent James Elston Is Chairman Of Morris Bd. 'At the inaugural meeting of Morris Township School Board, James Elston was elected as chairman and Ralph Shaw, secretary -treasurer. The school buildings and their contents were re -insured with Howick Mutual Insurance Company for a three-year term with a premium of $619.00. All school caretakers for Morris schools were re -hired for 1964. At the regular meeting on February 6, the members of the hoard plan to visit each of the Township schools.

These reports were all recorded and will be made available to all participants in the very near future and will likely appear in the Federation News column. Professor Lane, O.A.C„ was chairman throughout the two days and made this state- ment: "It will be good manage- ment in Marketing Farm Pro- ducts that the salvation of the farmer will be achieved". I was surprised and interested to see so many well known farm- ers of Ontario who are large operators attending the confer- ence. All agreed that this confer- ence was well organized and the best yet and were unani- mous in requesting the O. A. C. that a similar conference be held again next year. Funeral Saturday For A.
