(Expositor photo) , Women in agriculture The Ontario Federation of Agriculture wants to en- courage women to take a more active part in the organization, according to its president, Peter Hannam. "The women in our organization are a tremen- dous source of brains, talent and ability, and I don't think we're using them enough", Mr. Hannam said Thursday in a speech to the Huron F of A in Brucefield. Mr. Hannam said the organization's constitution should be amended to make it easier for women to vote and hold office. Under the present con- stitution only one vote per paid membership is allowed. The membership is usually registered under the man's name in a farming couple. meaning only he can hold office and vote. In addition, the constitution has forbidden proxy votes, to avoid the possibility of someone fathering a large number of proxy votes before an election, Mr. Hannam said, But the no proxy rule has also made it difficult for a woman to share her husband's vote and play an active role in the Federation. Mr. Hannam said he in- tended to seek amendments which would give women more chance to participate but would still prevent the possibility of pre-election proxy vote gathering.

Though no decisions on the matter were' taken, the councils agreed in principal that a joint committee should be set up to administer a survey. Further discussions will.he held early in October. Seaforth mayor Betty Cardno told the meeting there were two ways to initiate a survey of housing needs. Councils could pass a resolution asking the Ontario Ministry of Housing to con- duct the survey for them, or they could request that the Ministry provide funding for a survey conducted by the municipality. Mayor Cardno favoured the latter method, saying councils should use what power they can instead of passing things on the higher forms of government. The two Townships councils agreed the survey should be done under thesupervision of a local committee. Seaforth clerk Jim Crocker told the councils the Ministry would proviie up to $5,000 for the survey. The money would be used to cover the cost of an outside consultant.

A joint survey with McKillop and Tuckersmith could benefit Township seniors if it determined there a ne€d for subsidized was housing. At present, senior citizens from Tuckersmith and McKillop cannot be ac- commodated in the Seaforth complexes, because there is no loss sharing agreement between the Townships and the town. Under Ontario Housing Corporation guidelines, the town must pay 71/2 percent of any operating loss from a senior citizens housing project within its jurisdiction.
