Charlie MacNaughton, who has been directly associated with the farming industry all his working life, can speak for Huron farm- ers with authority. Here, in his own words, are the PC candidate's views on the farm economy: "I firmly believe that the great- est single problem confronting agriculture today 1 of marketing. I believe I am quali- fied to speak on this subject be- cause marketing, both domestic and export, is the very essence of the business with which I am associated. "The Farm Products Marketing Act, designed by the Frost gov't to allow farmers to organize their own 'self-help' program, has pro- vided the authority to proceed with measures designed to im- prove the system of marketing farm products. However, a great deal of work is yet to be done before we can safely say that we are close to a solution to the many problems which affect this phase of the farm economy. "Practically everything the farm- er has to buy is produced by or- ganized labor. I endorse the right of labor, to bargain collectively with management to determine the basis on which the working man shall be remunerated but I fail to. see why the farmer should not have a similar collective voice in determining the value of what he produces. "I do, however, believe this — that no legislation or set of mar- keting regulations will succeed unless it comprehends the inter- ests of producer, processor and consumer alike. "I will direct whatever energies and talents I possess to the end that, in the shortest possible time, marketing legislation at the pro- vincial level can be co-ordinated with the provisions of our new federalbill which will eliminate or at least alleviate the present insecurity which attaches to so many branches of the agricultural jndustry." Vote Charlie MacNaughton AND HURON'S MOST IMPORTANT INDUSTRY "I Hold Agriculture To Be Huron's Most Important Industry. Directly Or Indirectly, There Is No County In Ontario Where A Prosperous Agricultural Community Means More To The General Prosperity Of An Area Than It Does Here In Huron."
