A`donation of $85 will be given to the Goderich Psychiatric Hospital to be used towards sending emotionally, disturbed children to camp. The plebiscite on a general farm organization scheduled for early June will give farmers an opportunity to vote on the type of membership requirement they want for. • the new organization. Farmers will be offered three alternative forms of membership, Malcolm Davidson, Brucefield, chairman. , of the Ontario General Farm Organization Campaign Committee, announced - in Toronto. • The committee is campaigning for a single provincial organization to speak for Ontario. farmers. The June'. ballot • will ask voters three questions on meMbership: • --Should membership require a voluntary payment regardless of . the amount of checkoff paid by the individual'? (If farmers vote in favour of this a payment will be required in addition to the money ,paid by checkoff to receive membership. The level of payment will be decided by the founding convention. --Should membership be automatic if a farmer pays a checkoff whether large or small? (If a majority of farmers vote in favour of this- alternative, individual farmeks will receive a ,lm �ybership automatically regardless of the amount of money contributed by checkoff.) --Should membership require some minimum, level of contribution toward the GFO which could come from a combination of a checkoff and a voluntary payment? (If a majority of farmers vote for the third alternative the • founding convention would set a minimum level ' of payment required for membership. A farmer who had paid in checkoff H�I'mesville Hams The Holmesville Hams held their 6th and 7th meetings on March "31 and April 7, The two meetings were combined because of such a long meeting. There Were discussions of Variety Meats, Processed Meat and Planning Family Menus: Cooked liver and onions. The next meeting will be on April 14. • the amount set at the convention would automatically be eligible for membership without further payment. If the money paid through checkoff did not reach that level the farmer would be required to pay enough to make up the minimum in order to receive membership.) Mr. Davidson points out that regardless of the form of membership chosen by ballot, every. farmer who produces and markets one or more farm products will be eligible to become a member of the proposed GFO. -The Ontario Farmers' Union has drafted a`, proposal for one integrated provincial farm organization which is circulating throughout the, province. The proposal covers purposes, methods, structure, finance and establishment of a single provincial farm organization. Recent moves by the Ontario Farmers' Union have been aimed at persuading the Ontario government to place this proposal on the ballot. The Ontario General Farm 'Organization Campaign Committee is opposed to placing the OFU proposal,` called P, A, on the ballot. The important points of Plata A can be voted on by all fanners on the ballot proposed by the GFO Campaign Committee and at the founding convention by their delegates, according to the committee. A comparison • of Plan A with GFO Campaign Cominittee proposals, by the committee, indicates that: — Plan A calls for a, plebiscite of farmers. So does the GFO proposal. — Plan A calls for a checkoff on all farm products through the use of legislation. ;;,g, does the O FO 'proposal. — Plan A calls for voluntary membership requiring a payment by the individual:oyer and above his checkoff: This is possible. under the GFO proposal. The level of voluntary payment would be decided at the Founding Convention. — Plan A says the marketing boards andco-operatives should not have a vote on the provincial organization. This will be decided on the ballot by all farmers. — Plan A calls for integration of the marketing boards into the G I I I f SIOikiAL -STAR, THURSDAY, APRIL190 GFO when a Inajprity of 'the '-roombok and *. member of .the. producers of 4 product vote in. 0E0 ornpalow Cotte, favour of such Integration, Th„e, 00104 out that COM —GF,Q proposal dogs not toarce or mime 4.4oor that the :t - prevent such integration, but ^ partsor Tann Aa • :,al y' suggests that the decision should availabble throughthe_ GFO be left to the producers of each proposal., :The prop!osal ballot commodity. • �� makes it PoSsible for tamers to Delmer Bennett, Foresters vote for. an. organization. which Falls, former' OFU executive is, iti effect; Plain' A.
