Mr. Steckle's signing culm- inates an intensive drive by members of the Federation in Huron in recent months to put the county over the 2000 mark in memberships. The landmark membership was sold by Ted Steinbach, R.R.3, Zurich and Vince Austin, R.ft, 1, Dungan- non.

He noted that the OFA's work in gaining tax rebate for farmers for educat- ion taxes was one of the ach- ievements of organization by farmers. He said he had been thinking of joining the organ- ization for some time now. Mr. Steckle and his wife Shirley operate a 100 acre dairy farm on Lot 28 Concession 9, Hay Township.
