Carl Hemingway) Democracy has been a popu- lar word for many years but I wonder what it means to most of us. Does it simply mean go- ing to vote for one of the candi- dates on the ballot on election day, If you didn't have any op- portunity to name the candidate you haven't much choice, have you? Let's start over again. Demo- cracy originated in the small community where every mem- ber had the opporunity to ex- press himself. However, as our area of government grows it be- comes increasingly impossible to have each member express his opinion. We then turn to the delegate system to give us some measure of control over our government. The same thing applies to large organizations. The an- nual meeting of the OFA will be held in the Royal York, Tor- onto. How can we, as farm members of this province wide organization, retain democratic control? If we follow the recom- mended proceedure of this or- ganization we, will begin with our township units. At the annual meeting of this unit it is possible for every member to attend and it is with- in his reach. Here the member should have the opportunity to vote to elect the representative of his choice to the larger Coun- ty unit. To be truly democratic the nominations for this person will be by secret ballot. This pro- vides the candidates for the el- ection to follow and you do then have the opportunity to vote for your own choice. Balloting should continue unitl one has a clear majority.

The same method is then used at county level to elect the County representative to the OFA. Yes, it is a lot of trobule but just remember that a good many people lost their lives to give us this method of governing ourselves a n d it should be worth some inconven- ience to preserve the fruits of their sacrifice. Having done this you are still not free from responsibility._' It is still your duty as well as your privilege to make suggestions at all levels through resolutions. If this is done we will be as close to true democractic gov- ernment as is possible in a large society. But let it be fully un- derstood that the opportunity to nominate is just as important, if not more important, than the right to vote. If your leaders provide the op- portunity for you to speak and you say nothing they are justi- fied in thinking you have noth- ing to say. A good example of this fail- ure of farmers to speak was the hearing on crop insurance that was held in Mardale last Friday by the government crop insur- ance committee. In spite of personal invitations to a large number of representative farm- ers and organization leaders, only four attended. Are farm- ers in favour or opposed?

We Passed a few shacks here and there along the way but did not want to awaken the people for information, But to our good luck in the near distance we spotted a small shack with a dim Kerosine lamp burning, and no shades in the small wind- ows facing the road. The dis- tance inward from the road was about 100 yards. When we got opposite it, I and one of the trio went to- wards the home, where a young couple of Indians were Mr. and Mrs. Percy Bedard, Mr. and Mrs. Leon Bedard and Mrs. Edward Bedard, motored to St, Clair, Michigan, on Thurs- day last, to attend the funeral of the late Edward Mireau, who had died at the home of his son- in-law and daughter, Mr. and Mrs. Claud Bedard, of St. Claire His wife died August 15, 1963.

Ducharme was a Thursday last visitor with Mrs. Sarah Geoffroi and family, of St. Joseph. OUR NORTHERN VENTURE (continued from last week) After we had crossed the stream of water to land on the Island in the late afternoon, we had then about 20 miles to go to reach the port where the boat would be leaving at the fixed hour of 6:00 o'clock the next morning. We considered it a short jaunt giving us plenty of time to reach port. It being dark and the roads on the island were twisty, so we had to be careful not to go astray.

They calmed down to a stand still, then the man opened the door. His young wife caution- ed him to be careful not to get hurt by perhaps ruffians. The husband advised us we were only about two miles from the port, but the woman came to his help and said a little more on account of a jog in the road. We told them the direction we were going and they said we were right. We thanked the young coup- le and pretended we didn't hear their scrap. Perhaps it was the means of establishing peace in their little home. We reached the boat in plenty of time. At the fixed hour we sailed over rough water, as it was already fall and with high winds. W e reached Owen Sound the fol- lowing mid-day, After having a lunch in the town, we started southward on the home stretch.
