COUNTY COUNCIL
IN FINAL SESSION
The Department of Highways is
putting four rotary snow -plows in
Western Ontario, Dr. 1t. H. Taylor,
M.P.P., informed Huron County
Council on Wednesday afternoon.
Besides these, extra large cater-
pillar plows will be available in
Huron County, according to word he
had received from the department.
This heavy equipment will be moved
in where the snow is heaviest, and
left there provided' there is a heated
garage.
Resolutions are good for govern-
ments, he asserted, as they give an
over-all picture of.the wishes of the
communities. He said he was per-
turbed at the general trend toward
centralization of power. Government
closest to the people is best, said the
Many reeves were of the opinion
that the committee was qualified to
make the apointment. Members of
the committee are R. Raiz, S. Sn-
der, E. J. Parrish, Cecil Johnston,
and George Mathieson,
Reeve George Armstrong of Hay
launched the debate'by requesting
that the committee, which had done
good' work, be given an opportunity
to find a qualified man and employ
him.
Reeve Rate pointed out the im-
portance of employing a fully quali-
fied assessor. If the county •expects
a report from an assessor in 1950,
ed on or the way things suite
individual.
Convenors of standing committees
must work all year on their particu-
lar committee. Do: not get up a pro-
gram for one meeting then forget
all about it for the rest of ,the year.
The pres. may call on the convenors
at any or all meetings for something
pertinent to their- subject. Take an
interest in your \work and come to
each meeting with something worth
while to passe on to others.
The secretary's work entails a
great deal of thinking and plain
hard work. Every member should
co-operate with her. The pres, also
has to be able to give a resume of
the year's work and needs every W.
I. member's aid.
The records in the minute book
should contain actual facts and every
motion whether carried or not. They
should contain special rulings and
branch' by-laws for reference. Fin-
ancial statements and al) records
are. available for any paid member
to look over at any time deemed
necessary.
When an office changes hands, all
records, papers etc., must be turned
over to the successor immediately
and the former officer has no more
to do with that office or business.
All bills roost be brought before
the members to be passed before be-
ing paid and they should be :paid
by cheque. The secretary is not on
every committee by authority of her
office.
In conducting discussions, remem-
ber the rules of democracy. Each
member should be given an oppor-
tunity to express their views on any
discussion. They are'not to be mon-
opolized by one person or a few. The
pres.• should call on those who are
not willing to express themselves
voluntarily. This gets an exchange
of ideas and suggestions. A topic
should not be dropped or voted on
until every phase has been discussed
pro and con. Mrs. Duke gave a num-
ber of ways of conducting discus-
sion. These include panel discus-
sions, synposiums and groups. The
president's chair should never be
left vacant. When the pres. wishes
to make a suggestion she must take
her place as a member and the vice-
pres. occupies the chair. However
the pres, must not take sides. She
can express her opinions and com-
mon sense should rule in all deci-
sions. Praise and encouragement will
get more from anyone than driving
and force. Any suggestions that
members have should be stated at
the meeting, not before or after. If
they are worth considering they are
worth telling all members together.
Mrs. Duke believes racial religious
prejudice is the root of all the un-
rest today..These prejudices spring
from ignorance. When a committee
has been named and have done their
best to fulfill their duties, criticism
is not called for. If such arises, put
the critics to work the next time and
see how efficiently they take over,

COUNTY FEDERATION HAS
•
Talk of farmers' strikes, and of
a mass march on Ottawa, was heard
at the annual meeting of the Huron
Federation of Agriculture, held at
Clinton, during open discussion of
the current upswing in feed grain
prices. Moderate counsels prevailed,
however, and the meeting finally
was unanimous in endorsing a reso-
lution that the Dominion Govern-
ment be asked to put coarse grain
prices under control, and to renego-
tiate contracts for sale of farm pro-
ducts overseas.
"I should like to appeal to you to
hold down for a while - not to get
too drastic," said W. R. Lobb, Clin-
ton, who was elected president of
the Huron Federation. "Let us con-
duct our business with pride and
dignity."
Pressure from farm organizations
in other provinces for organization
of a mass delegation of protesting
farmers to go to Ottawa is becom-
ing very great, Arthur Stewart, Al-
monte, president of the Ontario
Federation of Agriculture, said in an
address. It may become difficult,
he said, for the Ontario Federation
to resist the urging of farm bodies
elsewhere in Canada for a national
protest trek to Ottawa,
"We're not showing enough
strength, even yet," said Wilfred
Glazier, Clinton hatcheryman, dur-
ing open discussion of the resolution
to ask the Dominion Government for
action. "I think it's time weook a
little more action," said Mr. (lazier.
"It seems there are only two things
the federal Government will listen
to, - one is the ballot and the other
is the strike."
"What's the good of our resolu-
tion," one farmer at the meeting
shouted, "if the 'Government is go-
ing to let the strikers run the
country7"
The feed grain shortage in Sep-
tember and October of this year
was not the fault of the western
farmer who produced the grain, de-
clared Charles Coultes, Belgrave,
who was elected 1st vice-president
of the Federation.
"I feel the Government made a
drastic' error in this matter," pro-
vincial president Stewart agreed.
"It was the most untimely thing
were lots of other things they could
have played with for a while, and
left this alone,"
The action of the Government.in
lifting the lid from feed grain
prices, Mr: Sewart said, " was a set-
back to mutual confidence. Ap-
parently very little consideration
was given to the rights and interests
of farm people, - which has re-
sulted in very heavy loss to live-
stock producers." •
Western grain -growers do not
want, to see Ontario livestock farm-
ers put out of business by high
prices for feed grain, Me. Stewart
declared. On a recent trip to West-
ern Canada, he said, he found that
Manitoba farm organizations were
"definitely not in favor of having
controls removed from coarse
grains;" Saskatchewan farmers were
almost solidly in favor of holding
the ceilings on eoarse grain prices;
officers of the Alberta Federation of
Agriculture to whops he talked said
they felt that anything done to in-
jure the eastern livestock producers
would eventually react against the
western grain -growers.
Officers elected were: Past Pres,,

•Coultes, Belgrave, 1st vice presid,
ent; R. S. McKercher, McKillop, 2nd
vice-president; Victor Roy, Londes-
boro, secretary -treasurer.
Two Member's of Parliament who
attended the meeting undertook to
present to the Government any re-
solutions forwarded Iby the Huron
Federation,
"The whole problem of controls,"
said William H. Golding, Seaforth,
M.P. for Huron -Perth, ' rias been a
vexed question from the time they
were started." The government is
subject, he said, to strong pressures
both for and .against. It had been in-
tended by the Government, he told
the meeting, to lift .coarse grain con-
trols at .the end of July, but the
lifting was deferred because of the
packinghouse workers' strike.
"The Federation of Agriculture
is the best organization the farmers
have ever had," said L. E. Cardiff,
R.R. 4,' Brussels, M.P. for Huron
North. "The farmers are being forc-
ed out of production," he said, "at
the very time when production is
needed. My advice to those of you
who can afford it is: hold your
breeding stock if you can. It will be
valuable. This situation will be cor-
rected."
The provincial hog producers'
organization, Mr, Coultes reported,
has, this year ironed out difficulties
with truckers who refused to take
out licences, under the hog market-
ing regulations, to carry hogs to
market. The truckers argued, .he
said, that if they had public com-
mercial vehicle licences, they did not
need any other licence to carry hogs.
The regulations have now been clari-
fied, Mr. Coultes said, so that truck-
ers can be compelled to take out
licences either as buyers, processors,
or producers, before they can legally
handle hogs.
The negotiating committee of the
hog producers'' organization, said
Mr. Coultes, was responsible, during
the packinghouse workers' strike,
for getting an agreement from the
packers to put a $23 -a -cwt. floor
under hog prices when the strike
ended, and so avert a collapse of the
market when a pent-up flood of
livestock came on the market at
strike's end.
The organization is now working,
