FEDERATION NEWS New experiences are always in- teresting. Having a part in the organization of the "FAME" share sales campaign last week was no exception, Wherr something needs to be done we can always look to pee= pie who are busy to get the job done. The canvassers who turned' out to the information meetings were certainly no exception, Their enthusiasm was almost matched by their fear of their ability to go out and be salesmen. It was hard to understand this fear of selling something in which they had at least received some information which would certainly give them some advant- age over the prospective purch- aser yet these same men seemed to have little fear of their ability to sell cattle once a year to men who are in the cattle buying business every day of the week year after year. Farmers are no more match of the cattle buyer than the cattle buyer is a match all of theday,farmer in loading bales Then there was the meeting of people 'in the canvass. I had the opportunity of doing a little can- vassing in an area where I didn't know the people, In a situation of this kind I can't refrain from analyzing the people I called on, All were unanimous in the need for farmers to have improv- ed income, Those who purchased, and this was very nearly half of those called on, • seemed to consist of two groups. There was the youn- ger farmer who was really find- ing the going rough. He pinched a little harder and bought a share in order that his bargaining pow- er in selling would be stronger in order that the years to come would be a little better. Then there was the farmer who was nearing the end of the road. He could expect little fin- ancial benefit in the few years left but was only interested that the road be a little smoother for the younger feet to travel. Then there were those who didn't purchase and seemed to have no intention of doing so in the future. This seemed to be a very small group who. '.were quite confident that they could care for themselves. They were quite ready to agree that conditions were bad and there was real dan- ger of many farmers being forced off their farms but it also seemed that they were quite sure- it wouldn't be them. I wonder? From the promises received for future purchases the lack of ready cash. was all too apparent. While in some cases no doubt these promises will not be kept, there can be no doth farmers will be processing their livestock through their own plants. It will depend largely on a successful harvest whether we will have these plants in operation by this time next year.

Govenlock) Seaforth Local of the Huron County Farmers Union had four registered delegates to the recent Farmer Labour Conference at Port Elgin, Out, Because we en- joyed the Conference and thought the information might be interesting to others we sub- mit the following article from notes we took while there, We left early on a Saturday morning by car to drive to the U.A.W. Education Centre at Port Elgin, Out, As is true in most farm organization chores this was a labour of love as we paid our own transportation, We arrived before 9 a,m, at the Main Lodge and picked up our reservations and we were assign- ed ssigned to a cabin for each family. The motto at this camp is as follows "Owned and operated by the Can- adian Locals of the United Auto- mobile and Aircraft workers of America and dedicated to the advancement of good Unionism and good citizenship." On the 12% acre site on Lake Huron there are several build- ings, 10 cabins, a large motel, a large assembly hall and a small- er classroom building, also a mo- dern cafeteria style dining hall. The Conference opened at 9.15 a.nr, with remarks by Mr. Claude Jodoin C.L.C. President. He stat- ed that he supported representa- tions made by farm organizations with no ulterior motives, to know and understand our differences of opinion was of importance to farm groups. Legislation in re- gard to wheat pools in the West I should be amended. He had com- pleted a tour of western farm groups and provinces and stated this was the first time Labour had done this. He felt the chain stores tell the farmer what to grow and set the price. Collective bargaining by the farmer could combat this. In conclusion he said he had no quarrel with people wanting to go to the moon, but he person- ally would say to them bon voy- age we have enough problems on earth to concentrate on. Air. Russell Bell gave a lengthy de- tailed report from which the following remarks are taken. The greatest problem confronting our society today is .the precar- ious economic security of our in- dustrial workers and farmers. The reason behind this is clear enough, We have on the one hand a technologically dynamic society whose accomplishments in technology are accelerating the rate of productivity in both industry and in agriculture. On the other hand, we have not fac- ed up to the fact that if we are to have full employment under these conditions we must have a continually expanding economy. That these dynamic technological changes in both industry and ag- riculture will continue at an ac- oelerated rate in the future is inevitable. Following a coffee break, Prof. Ralph Campbell, in reply stated that Great Britain would join the Common Market and lower tariffs with respect to other European Countries. This would seriously affect Canada's competitive posi- tion. However Canadian Agricul- ture has improved its efficiency and should be able to compete, he said. In the past 10 years egg prices for example have gone down one and one half cents per dozen per year. Hog prices have been reduced 21 cents per 100 annually.. President Alel, Tebbutt of the Farmers Union said that the panel speakers had effectively proved that neither farmer nor labour are alone to blame for production cost in- creases. Mr. W. P. Oswald of Bruce County Federation said "We can increase production but we are putting too much stress on what we grow and not enough stress on how we market it." Mr. Wm, Boothroyd 0.F.L. Vice Pres. adjourned the meeting for lunch and recreation. At 1:30 p.m. Mr. E, H. Davidson, Chair- man of the Toronto Board of Ed- ucation spoke on "Education for the Future." The following re- marks were verychallenging be- cause many were presented in the form of a question, Free Education -Vocational and informal for three-quarters of man's history, parents took the foto' Seaforth delegates can be responsibility, Priestly groups were guardians of higher educa- tion. Scholarship owes a debt to. religion as it is only 150 years the state has been concerned, The U. S. were pioneers in free university education, Education as a political weapon. If we try to eliminate religion in schools morals and ideals will break down. How mechanical is educa- tion to become: TV is as effect- ive as live teaching in the U. S. and Britain. Machine turncrank lessons give skilled answers to pupils. Is a certificate a badge of honor or a passport? Mr, Gower Markle replied that Canada has the most obsolete education syst- em in the world. In Detroit one Polish Immigrant, an excellent teacher, teaches 60 4th graders French by TV in which they car- ry on a conversational course of study in which two classroom teachers participate. Saturday evening we enjoyed a banquet with speakers. The last speaker was CLC Public Re- lations Director, Jack Williams who spoke on propaganda as fol- lows: Appeal for Sympathy, Pro- mise of Reward, Repitition, Im- age, Plain Folk Appeal, Card Stacking, Join the Band Wagon. Because propaganda was so widely used today he said that he hoped his remarks would help us to weigh the facts, know the purpose, understand the tech- niques and get the facts and then forn, our own opinions when we ereganda, confronted with Propa- w Before the conclusion Mr. Jas. McDonald, of Labour, gave the following, "The inculcation of the incomprehensible into the ig- norant by the incompetent as a definition of Education".
