THE EDITOR, Concerning a Letter to the Editor in last week's newspaper, it's com mendable that A.L., of RR 4, Wal ton takes the trouble to speak on behalf of his retired friend who wished to cancel his OFA member ship. But without telling OFA, nat urally the automatic membership deduction was made through the banking system as originally agreed upon. This arrangement could have been cancelled at any lime by a simple phone call to the Huron County Federation of Agriculture (HCFA) office in Vanastra. The telephone number is provided in the issue of The Rural Voice which HCFA sends to every farm home in Huron County. What's an automatic membership as opposed to a regular member ship fee deduction? When you join OFA, you can authorize the annual fee to be deducted automatically from your bank account without separate billing. If you choose man ual billing, you'll be billed annually and can then remit your payment. We like the automatic system. It cuts down the mailing costs for OFA, which is very cost-conscious because it's financed by the mem bership fees of the farm families who are proud to be part of a farm ers' association. It frees a volunteer canvasser from having to phone or call on you because you forgot to renew, and therefore that volunteer is free to contact more new mem bers. But it is your choice which one of these options you wish to use. According to some people, man ual renewal gives them a chance to find out what OFA is doing through the volunteer's visits, and we always like to visit our friends; but if they infer that that's all they see of OFA in the course of the year, they haven't been doing their part to keep up. By reading Farm and Country magazine and The Rural Voice, both of which we send 'free' to all farm families in Huron County, they arc kept up-to- date on agricultural issues. Regular HCFA meetings arc always advertisted on the back page of the Rural Voice, so if you want to hear more about OFA activities, attend the meetings. Most are lively and free, and we'd welcome you.
