The Community Centre
Board met Wed. evening,
April 5, as the guests of
C airmaln John and Kathleen

Clerk, Gordon Graham and
board member George
Telford. In the absence of the
secretary, Ed Oddleifson

It was learned that a letter
had been sent to all clubs and
organizations in and around
the area asking them to
choose a representative to
send to a meeting to be called
regarding the repair or
rebuilding or closure of the
Arena. -
A public meeting will be
called after many aspects of
the -building are checked; ie
costs, expansion, checking
piers under each truss,
lighting etc.
John Siertsema offered 'to
talk to other arena board
members, such as Blyth and
Goderieh, who were in the
same situation as Bayfield.
The Lioness Club. was given
permission to paint the
auditorium and recoat the
Village to seek fire area
Council met in regular
session on Thursday April 7
and talked with members of
the Bayfield Fire Department
regarding several aspects of
the take over by the Village.
They discussed the idea of
setting up an area board with
floor. Board member i• rank
McFadden and chairm-an
John Siertsema offered to
make the necessary repairs
to the double doors into the
auditorium.
It was decided to have signs
printed restricting the age to
18 when there is a bar in
operation on the premises,
and to establish some rules
and regulations as guidelines
for those people using the
building.
A lovely cup of coffee and
cookies was served by

As we look hack in
Agriculture we see vast
changes in producing and
getting it to the consumer,
there is better relations
between the producer and
consumer. Hill said, but we
should know more. Some of
the changes are from when
farmers plowed with oxen,
then to horses, to modern
tractors and from oxen to
modern age computers
putting man on the moon and
bringing him hack to earth
safely.
Mr. Hill said the Ont.
Federation of Agriculture
was established in 1937 and
Was established , as a
federation organization of co-
operatives, agricultural
societies, county Federations
of Agriculture. These were
broken down into township
Federations, pork producers
marketing hoards, Bean
producers, milk producers,
all tied into the county, then
became a member of the
province. An organization of
organizations as an educated
organization e.g. Junior
Farmers, beekeepers, etc., to
carry problems to the
government.
During the late 30's they
tried to get established and to
get organized with con-
stitutions etc. During the
early 40's . (war years)
everyone was interested in
working their farmns, help
was scarce and the thought
was of the war. When the warms
was over, the economy
started to boom in the years
'45, '46, '47 and the farmers,
were not complaining;
rapidly rising prices pleased
. them. They were not much
interested in the Federation
of Agriculture. In the 50's an
outbreak of hoof and mouth
disease affected the hog and
cattle industry. They were no
longer allowed 'to ship
livestock to the United States
of America. They produced
more than Canada could
consume and relied on the
export market.
The ban on export caused
the prices to drop drastically
and triggered a decline in
agriculture generally, Hill
said. The farmers then turned
to the Federation with 'their
problems. Municipal councils
appointed a , representative
from each school section then
the county appointed to speak
to the Province. There was
not very much of a clearly
defined system as to input
into the area of farmers.
During the rather dormant
what they needed was a union
so they formed what was
called the Ontario Farmers
Union. Of course this was ndt
entirely new ; it had been
going on in the Canadian
West, in Manitoba, Saskat-
chewan, Alberta and even-
tually B.C. Mr. Hill said there
was great animosity between
the farmers in both
organizations. Hill said hegot
drawn into the new group and
that there was a good •
organization in Huron
County.
They entered into bringing
about, supply management, to
produce the quantity that the
market demands in the 60's.
(eggs, turkeys and tobacco in
1970's). The Ontario farmers
'union is no more affective
with ,its small membership.
Some of the members decided
that the poor decrepit
Federation of Agriculture,_
with no, enthusiasm left
needed a boost. Mr. Hill said
_he.y decided to give the
ederation "all we've got."
Some who had become in-
volved in the Farmers Union
became very much involved;
fights between the two
executive went directly to the
farmers to get their ideas and
Hill said it had been a most
worthwhile experience for
him, although very
demanding.
Hill said the Federation
now encompasses 23,000
farmers representing all the
members of the marketing
hoards, co-operatives etc. It
is a big organization with a
great deal of influence now.
The Farmers Union has•
declined to less than 500
members.
In the business session,
Brig. Fred Clift'presented the
new Constitution and Bylaws
to govern the Historical
Society which is affiliated
with the Ontario Historical
Society. The presentation was
accepted by the meeting.
It was announced that
Douglas Richardson, author,
art historian and lecturer at
the University of Toronto,
will speak at the Architec-
tural Conservancy meeting,
April 28 at the Little Inn.
The society would be most
appreciative of any in-
formation on the old Library
Building.
