organized and ready for
their next meeting, ex-
plained new president Gerry
Fortune. .
After committees met for
an hour ,they gave reports to
the president.
Merle Gunby, reported on
the plans for the Absentee -
ownership of far-
mland committee. It was
suggested that the group
take a harder- look at the
absentee part of the problem
but be aware of the danger of
_ diffusing the focus- of their
program.
One of the points to watch
the group • decided, is the
concentration of ownership
which could create vertical
integration.
The committee agreed to
look into more documen-
tation concerning the effects
of absentee ownership . on
communities.
The intent's -tin -the problem
is to be expanded to take in
more than Huron county and
begins with a Rural Lear-
ning Association seminar in
Guelph in January and the
matter is to be discussed at
the Rural Ontario
Municipalities . Association
convention in the spring.
The properties and land
use committee is really a
service committee, reported
Gordon Hill and plans to
remain alert and aware for
requests or directions from
the local federation to attend
to specific matters. '.'This
would be better than looking
for a topic to champion said
Mr. Hill. •
A resolution was prepared
by the committee asking that
the OFA study the
Aggregates bill and inform
the federation of advantages
and' disadvantages ad
report on the progress made.
This resolution will be made
to a directors' meeting in
Toronto in January.
The program committee
has several meetings
planned in advance with
topics and speakers lined up.
The January meeting will
evolve around the new Pits
and Quarries Act, and at the
February meeting the paper
The Farmers Right to Farm
will be discussed. A paper on
the topic was presented at
the recent OFA convention.
The public -relations
committee has sponsored
another public speaking
seminar January 24,31 and
February 7 in co-operation
with Conestoga College. Eric
Clark will be the instructor
and anyone interested in
learning more about public
speaking may meet at the

ween agricultural engineers
and farmers on drainage and
soil problems was suggested
by the committee handling
such problems. The group
agreed that nobody knows
theland better than the one
farming it and with more co-
operation more problems
can be eliminated.
The drainage and soil
erosion committee'feTt here
should be more study and
publicity about change of
weed classification with
more control of weed seed in
bird and grass seed.
The young farmers
committee is planning to
write to provincial depart-
ments and financing
agencies to obtain more
information on availablity of
grants and cheaper finan-
cing. The biggest problem
facing new and young far-
mers in financing.
Market value assessment
is still under scrutiny by the
municipal liaison and
taxation committee.
The member relations and
insurance committee plans
for a questionnaire to be
circulated that will allow
most farms to be visited and
memberships sought. The
questionnaire would be
similiar to one circulated
five .: years ago or could be
made up of questions sub-
mited by the committees.
Convention reports were
heard and recommended
actions of the committees
were approved.
