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 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.
