Four new directors for F of A The 1-luron County Federation of Agriculture elected four new members to the executive during the November Director's meetin€ recently in Clinton. The new members are Maurice Bean, Auburn; Alan Walper, Grand Bend; Howard Datars, Dashwood, Jack Stafford, Wroxeter. Bitter complaints against tactics of Ontario Hydro in deal- ing with farmers were voiced at the meeting and strong langu- age was used to denounce these tactics. Some samples of the complaints; first hydro stated they don't need Inverhuron, now they've got it; first they state at public meetings that they . don't ontend to export electric- ity, all those power corridors are for Canadian use, now they apply for export permits; first they tell the farmer they need 540 feet of his land, now they are surveying another 3(30 feet, to make it a total of 900 feet. They stated that only one line will go through Morris, llullett and McKillop townships. The farmers are wondering now how much truth there is in that statement. Head office in Tor- onto told the OFA hydro commit tee that from now on only offers to purchase would be offered to farmers. Two weeks later their fieldmen are at it again, offer- ing offers to sell, thereby malt- ing the landowner a willing seller, which he isn't. Martin Baan, president of Gay Lea Foods, speaking as a milk producer expressed grave conc- ern about the future of the milk industry. He stated that deliv- ery of industrial mills, which is used for the production of dairy products other than fluid milk, is down 42 percent in the first three weeks of October. Man- ufacturers have to go out of bus- iness, for the expensive equip- ment is sitting idle eating up capital costs. Why do milk producers go out of business? Baan thought there are many reasons. The seven- day week, the many strings and regulations. Quota such and quota so, subsidy such and subsidy so, equipment require- ments, inspection, testing. All necessary but very tiresome. On top of this the good price received when cattle are sold, combined with the high cost of feed in the last year, makes it LICENCE RENEWAL The Ministry of Transport- ation and Communications has announced that commencing December 1, 1973, renewal registration for passenger motor vehicles and trailers will go on sale at 284 licence Issuing Off- ices throughout the Province. As in 1973, the fees are $23 for a 4 -cylinder vehicle; $32 for 6 -cylinders; $40 for an 8 - cylinder car and $5 for trailers. This year marks the first time that Ontario will be issuing a licence plate sticker instead of new plates to signify that the vehicle owner has paid his ann- ual registration fee. No new permit will be issued for renewal --the present permit will be used for five years. Under the new system motor- ists will not be required to fill in an application as in the past, but rather need only present their permit with the fee to the issuer. The issuer will then ask the motorist to sign an insurance declaration and will return the multi-year permit on which he has affixed a sticker. He will also provide another sticker the motorist will be required to attach to the plate on the rear rather attractive to switch to something else. He warned that if many more went out of dairy- ing the export market in breed- ing stock would be in serious jeopardy. Mason Bailey reported from the directors meeting in Toron- to that due to a stripe by work- ers of Texaco, UCO was out of propane for drying corn just when the harvesting season was about to begin. Through imm- ediate action with the help of the Canadian Federation of Agriculture, by OFA in Ottawa the dilemma was resloved. UCO provides for more than 50 percent of all propane in Kent County for corn drying. LOVE'S LAST GIFT EMEMBRANCE ' IWONU LET Whothsr It's as TENT • MARKER .
