Three advance polls set for Sept. election The Chief Election Officer of Ontario, Roderick Lewis, has extended the advance, pail for the Ontario general election. In addition to the dates designated by The Election Act — Saturday, September 13th, and Monday, September 15th — advance polling will be held Friday, September 12th. The extension follows representations that the Saturday advance poll would be during the Jewish Sabbath and the Monday poll falls on the Jewish holy day of Yor. Kip- pur. "Also, it has been pointed out that many people are stili away from home on weekends in mid- September, so the additional day will be a convenience to voters wishing to cast their ballot early," said Mr. Lewis. Hours for the special Sep- tember' 12th advance poll will be 9 . a. m. to 8 p.m. EDT. Normal advance polling hours, prevailing September 13th and 15th, are noon to 9 p.m. EDT. Advance polls are held "for the purpose of receiving votes of voters who expect to be unable to vote on polling day in the polling subdivisions for which their names appear on the polling lists," states The Election Act. In addition, the Act sets out the Saturday and Monday immediately, preceding election day • as advance polls. • It was 'PO an' old denten-shed barn burning, That's .what the brigade Clinton Fire Labor Day when nt they were called to the scene on the Base Line. There was n # faunal s' ' Record photQlt► damage. (News - ' Federation told arms no piacefor asserts' h► ly line People who call for - more efficiency on the' farm as a method of combatting high food prices just don't know what they're talking about, ac- cording to Jim McGuigan, a director of the Ontario Federation of Agriculture. Mr. McGuigan, from Cedar Springs in• Kent county, said editorial writers on large newspapers, ' university professors and others com- menting an the cost of food. often think- the assembly line principle which has done so much to revolutionize industry can be applied to agriculture. He told Members of the Huron County Federation of Agriculture meeting in Hensell, that ever since Eli Whitney invented the cotton gin, there has been a production truism that every time you double production, you can cut the per unit cost by 10 percent. But in farming. he said, there is no assembly line. Farmers work in batch units where every hour there is a different set of circumstances. "You don't get economies of scale with doubling of production". he said, "The agricultural road is littered by family farms and corporate farms trying to apply the theory." The idea of getting bigger and getting more ef- ficient is a lie, he said. He said he would like to take those who tanked about ef- ficiency down to Kent county and show them S60,000 tomato harvesters bogged down in one cornu of -tomato fields as large as 100 acres while the farmers tried to salvage what they could by hand picking on the wet fields. He'd Like those experts to have been along, he said, when the farmer of his area used to 'have to dig sugar beets out of the ground by hand because their mechanical pickers couldn't get on the wet fields. or when he helped harvest 75 acres of corn one spring by hand because the fail had been so bad the pickers kept getting stuck. Specialization on the farm ean bring many problems he said. He remembered when his family planted 40 acres of strawberries. First the weather was dry, then came a wet period followed by an ex- tremely hot spell which blew the berries up like balloons and made them practically useless. They managed to salvage some money from the crop by picking the berries and selling them to peddlers in Detroit, he said. but most of the time. money and effort was lost. "We don't have the climate to carry on these huge crop operations" he said. Only in a place like California where the climate is ' constant, there is little rainfall and nearly all water comes from irrigation can conditions be controlled enough for large operations. And there, he pointed out there were mammoth labour problems. "We have to knock down this lie that we're inefficient" he said. But this was going to be a Ord t1'�f•Ir. itn rworlir•teri because it was hard to get people to tell the true facts about farming. He recalled a meeting held in Toronto by one of the large papers to discuss the price of food. Several of the OIA executive went to the meeting and made some pretty serious charges . to the members of the panel discussion which incltided large supermarket chain executives. The next day. he said. there was a large report in the paper about the meeting. but not a word on the farmers' charges.. The food chains, he pointed out. are large advertisers in the daily newspapers. The only way to combat this sort -dr thing. lid Said',- was.. for farmers to support their farm nrgoeizations. If the grain did something the farmer didn't like. he said, the farmer should try to change that policy, not give up the organization completely. :+enee, la A, Radford in'us fined $150 and had bbs li nse taken away for three ninths after ham' was found guilty of an impaired driving : ha gge- lttW Hildebrand of Kit- chener was fined $75 or seven dais in Jail on a possession of narcotics charge.
