ECHOES OF THE U. 1
CONVENTION
(13y a Delegate)
The Convention of 1925, which was
held in Massey Hall, Toronto, ort the
week of December 91.h,, will go dawn
as one of the most sgceessful in its
twelve years a history. The meeting
of the co-operative shareholders was
held on Tuesday of the same week..
Th;ir report made a good showing af-
ter the slump of war time they have
turned the corner and are Well on the
road to prosperity.
The Convention opened with a good
attendance, delegates being there
from all parts of Ontario, even as far
north as Algoma.' The Convention
'lasted for two days, 3 ses,signs each
day. The interest and attendance
keeping tip till the last.,
The U. F. W. O. met along with..
the U. F. O. and took part in all dis-
cussions, none but bona fide delegates
were admitted to the ground floor,
Visitors have to take the,galleries the
lower one being pretty well filled.
There were 46 resolutions on the pro
-
;gramme, some were passed with hard-
ly any comment, but those relating to
Township School Boards, came in for
quite a • debate: After putting an
aamendment to the amendment, the
whole thing was tabled for further in-
formation. Miss Agnes McPhail, M.
P., spoke to this resolution, which ac-
cording to her views didn't go far
enough, not even the amendment.
She thought the sectional school bo-
ards had done good work in past and
would be better left as they are.
The resolution bearing on the U. F.
0. going into politics, stirred the au-
dience from back to front. Woods 'of
Dufferin, Oke of Larnbton: and Hal-
bert, spoke to this resolution. The
last named got so excited I thought
he was going to jump off : the plat-
form. After a lively debate an
amendment to the amendment was
carried.' Thisdidn't suit J. J. Morri-
son who jumped up and said "Is this
Farmers Political effort for represen-
tation or is it a broadened out effort
by everybody"
The mover and seconder „said: "It
is a political organization, no broaden-
ing out."
The first night the final debate for
the Burnaby Cup was staged. It was
between the U. F, Y. P. O. of Haldi-
rna,nd Co., and: U. F. Y. P. O. of Nor-
th Oxford. The first named had the
affirmative, and the, last named had
the negative The negative won. --
