there were no couples who qual.
ified for that category..
The judge than was about to
ask for those couples whose total
ages would be over 130 years to
raise their hands. But before
he had finished, a couple near
-the back of the room came for•
ward to state that they had raised
their hands to the first question
and belong in the over 140 cate-
gory.

URGE BOYCOTT
The Presidentreminded the
members to fill out the opinion
poll that is found in the OFU paper
regarding a buyer's strike. It
would involve organized and non.
unionized farmers across the
North American continent to stop
purchasing new tractors, corn.
bines, cars, and trucks for three
months, after which the strike,
would be reassessed. This is con.
skived' necessary as machine
companies have said without apol.
ogies, that henceforth, farmers
can expect to pay 5 per cent mare
each year for machines -and equip.
ment. I t should 'be 'made per.
fectly clear that this is nota fight
against the local dealer or smallll
business man. In order that farm.
err maintain production they will
have to continue to buy essentials
'such as used ersquipment, repai
and services. The action program
is directed only at the new equip-
ment and appliances until such
time as agriculture gets a square
deal. "
