041 of Blyton was
president of the
ty Federation of
i$t Thursday night
meeting in C'' ton.
!t,cted to the executive
Alan Waiper of RR 3, Park -
11. as first' vice-president and
Mattrite Bean of Auburn as
send vice-president.
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." He

called for a unified front of the
agricultural community, prais-
ing the Huron County Federation
of Agriculture for its efforts to
work collectively. "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

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 -

You don't have to live on a farm to have
a comfortable home.
A CO-OP. petroleum driver serves
o lot of customers who live on
forms. That's true. But he also
supplies quite a few town and
suburban homes as well, and
with the some kind of dedication.
After all,keeping a form house
warm and comfortable isn't
always easy. Bad roods, weather
and longer distances con make
the job a little wore challenging.
It takes a guy who is dedicated
to the job.
The important thing for you to
think about (whether you live in
the country or in town) is that the
CO-OP petroleum driver is there
when he shautd be. with quality
CO-OP fuel oil, temperature
formulated to the' area where
you live. Get to know your
CO-OP petroleum driver. He's
reliable. He delivers warmth you
can rely on, wherever you live.
