AU three men were members of the past executive of the federa- tion. Mr. Vos succeeds Doug For- tune of RR 1, Wingham, who served a two-year term as presi- dent. The greeting of over 150 federa- tion members also elected three directors -at -large: Wayne. Mil- lion, Bev Brown and Doug For- tune. They will compete, along with previously elected township directors, for the four seats as directors on the federation executive. The four directors will be chosen at the first meeting after the annual meeting Thurs- day. 1 In accepting the office of presi- dent, Mr. Vos spoke briefly on the challenges facing the federation in the near future. "It's with a very heavy heart I assume this post of president," he said, citing the lack of financial support from the townships as a major prob- lem. Mr. Vos faces a decrease in membership from last year and a deficit of about $2,000 in the 1975 ting budget. f n other business, federation members passed three resolu- tions at the animal meeting. The first resolution deals with the lack of standard►tjon of plates in cora planters. Although all seeds are graded on a standard test planter, supplying recom- mendations on use to the farmer, the seed plate design in indi- vidual'planter models varies with the brand, resulting in variations in the corn population. The federation voted to petition the Ontario Federation of Agricul- ture to review the situation and make recommendations to the corn seed companies. The second federation resolu- tion was short but all-inclusive, recommending that the OFA oppose "all revolutionary de- velopments on food land." The third resolution passed at the meeting petitions the govern- ment to drop the present system of hearing boards in favor of meetings with the residents of the municipalities where new developments are planned. The federation explained that hearing boards are "seldom influenced" by the reaction of those most closely concerned with the developments. They propose instead a municipal board headed by the local member of provincial parliament. Dep. minister speaker at federati�n meeting The Huron County Federation of Agriculture took a walk down memory lane last Thursday night led by Gordon Bennett, Deputy Minister of Agriculture for On- tario. Mr. Bennett was the guest speaker at the annual meeting held in Clinton. He reminisced about histime spent in Huron County as agricultural rep- resentative. Mr. Bennett noted that farming techniques were the major change he has observed, through- out the years: "Your main objec- tives really don't change, but what you do changes• a great deal." "Farming has changed,." Mr. Bennett said, a ting dif- ferences be ►een `the . amby farm" of the past and the present methods. He noted the tre- mendous dollar input and the changes in physical dimensions of farming while stressing the need ,to preserve the family farm—"the root of our society." "It's been good for this coun- try," Mr. Bennett concluded. He then. 'turned to a short review of the present and the future of agriculture, referring to the $120 million. grossed by the agricultural community in On- tario last year. "There are times ahead that will be very challeng- ing," Mr. Bennett prophesized, adding "all is solveable with the dedication of the people."

"I think there's a pretty bright future for agriculture as long as we stick to- gether," Mr. Bennett said, He spoke briefly on govern- ment aids, underlining research as one of the major ingredients; the proposed farm income pro- tection act; andgovernment policy on agriculture. Mr. Ben- nett stressed the need for a "har- monized national plan" for agri- culture to prevent interprovincial competition. "With a product marketed-. nationally;'_ he said,.. "no provihce should be in compe- tition wit] another'1" For his concluding statements, Mr. Bennett turned once again . to a call for unity: "I never ac- complished anything on my own. You as farmers havenever ac- complished anything alone. My major concern is a properly united farm voice. We must stick together."

Norma then introduced the guest speaker for the evening, Mrs. John Stinson of Fordwich. Her topic was "China—Then and Now". She told how the history of China could be roughly, divided into three parts: a., up to 1900; b., 1900-1950; c., 1950-1975. Prior to 1900, the family was the base of all and ancestoral warship was practised. The women of the upper class had their feet bound so they would be small and there- fore were unable to walk, the peasant women were slaves and the soldiers and peasants were treated very lowly. During the period 1900-1950 many missionaries went to China including religious missionaries, medical missionaries and ' edu- cators. They tried to teach the people to care for others outside the family and to educate the lower classes. During this period, women doctors. dentists and women in the professions were equal in number to the men. Around 1950 the Communists took over the country and while they promised freedom of re - 1 1 1 1 1 1 Silage Distributor-Unloader True 3 -Point Suspension No Drive Drum to Manhandle No Weights to Adjust Really Throws it Out Can't Tip, Can't Tilt Two Machines in One Gives You Faster Feeding YOU CAN COUNT ON US 1 LISTOWEL SILO & TILE LTD.
