ZURICH Citizens NEWS WEDNESDAY,, APRIL 30', 1958
Agriculture in Huron needs a
strong voice in the Legislature.
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."

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."
