Hill, Varna, as the most ser- ious and most successful conven- tion he had ever witnessed, the eighth annual CFU convention, with 300 registered, concluded last Wednesday night. Ed. Morden, Riverview, was elected vice-presi- dent, and Frank Gamble, Chats- worth, second vice-presdent. Mrs. Merle Hopkins, Fenelon Falls, was re-elected women's president and Mrs. Elora Parker, Rose - math, women's. vice-president. lienneth Marisett, Picton, was el- ected junior president. Results of some of the resolu- tions dealt with brought about some changes in Farm Union pol- icy. Foremost, was the stand tak- en in regard 10 the Ontario Hog Producers Marketing Board. While the convention upheld the princi- ple of producer controlled mark- eting hoards and were satisfied with the work of some, a resolu- tion was passed expressing com- plete opposition to the present method of hog marketing and an early vote is to be requested. Op- position. to the Ontario Hog Pro- ducers Marketing Board appears to be directed at the Board of� directors who they feel are not concerned with the wishes of the ZURICH CITIZENS NEWS WEDNESDAY,. NOVEMBER 4, 19t5c3• producers. With the present set- up, when avote is taken, farm- ers must vote either for the entire plan, or against it, and a resolu- tion was passed asking for legis- lation, that would give producers the power to vote out any undesir- able feature of a marketing plan. The principle of deficiency pay- ment's was strongly upheld throughout the meeting although there was great dissatisfaction ex- pressed over the government's implementation, at present. The Farm Unions have never accepted the use of the ten-year average. in arriving at the support price. which completely ignores the cost of production. Also, the Union does not favour the limit put on each separate commodity but are working for a unit system where- by a farmer, with specialized pro- duction, can obtain the maximum benefits allowed under the plan, even though he produces only one or two commodities. It was felt if all farm organiza- tions could work together to over- come these obstacles, a great ser- vice would be rendered farmers of Canada. A first-hand description of the plight of western farmers, due to early snow. was brought to the BUY NOW! .® and SAVE! During Our First Fall Discount For November 11% Discount McKEE SEE:.. The One -Man Harvester LOUIS THIEL District Representative for McKEE BROS., LIMITED Zurich Phone 67 meeting by President Rudy Usick, Manitoba, who had spent most of the previous day getting through the snow banks into Winnipeg (a distance of some 100 miles) to get. a 'plane to Toronto. He explained 50 inches of snow had already fallen on parts of the province. Mr. Usick, although active in the Farm Union for ten years, is the youngest president of a pro- vincial farm organization. He told how prices have dropped during the past ten years and costs have spiralled. This cost -price squeeze has taken its toll of prairie far- mers. "Had we been receiving ade- quate grain prices, this recent snow may not have bothered us too much, but the situation has sounded the death knell to many farmeds in Manitoba," Mr. Usick said. "We find in Manitoba, too," he continued, "If a crop does not make enough in one year the far- mer tries to increase his efficiency and produce more the following year, thus creating surpluses and lowering prices even more." Here she said, she met with 1,000 women from 30 different countries and how they endeavoured to work for the things that united thein and forget about the things that separated them, She said at this meeting they concerned themselves with the two-thirds of mankind who are hungry, the poor, sick, illiterate and stateless. At present 300,000,- 000 people have malaria and 40,- 000,000, through no fault of their own, are stateless. Mrs. Trew concluded by telling of her visits to farms in the Brit- ish Isles and Germany. She told of one farm in England where three families were deriving an excellent living from 700 acres. These people credit this to their Farm Union, whose membership is about 100 per cent, their mar- keting boards, co-ops, and defic- iency payments. She said that she returned to Canada convinced that if agriculture is going to get its rightful place here, we will have to work for it, Mr. Usick said that it was es- sential that some new program be introduced to keep the family farm alive. He suggested that sup- port prices should be based on cost of production, and that there was a need for deficiency pay- ments. He continued by saying, "Farmers must have a strong bargaining power and this can be achieved through a strengthened Farm Union. You have the means by which you can correct this grim situation in agriculture. We'- ve got to get to the farmer before there is no farmer." Mrs. Beatrice Trew, president, Saskatchewan Women's Farm Un- ion, addressed the convention Wednesday afternoon. She said that it didn't matter much wheth- er men or women took office pro- viding they had the qualifications, respect and dignity to maintain the position. "Farm women are too well a- ware that there is not enough money left to support the family farm after expenses are paid," Mrs. Trew said. 'This is why women in Saskatchewan took an active interest in the formation of farm policy. We realize, too, that it takes more than money to make the farm a good place where young people want to live, so we Faun Union women in Saskatche- wan concern ourselves with the arts, good literature, health, hone economics, which all lead to grac- ious farm living," she said. She told of the cancer equipment they bought in 1957, the wing of a mental hospital they furnished in 1958, and the research program to assist retarded, children they are working on this year. Mrs. Trew told of attending the tri-ennial conference of the As- sociated County Women of the Word at Edinburgh, Scotland, as a representative of the Farm Union. WHO ADVERTISES ? LOOK AT THE BUSINESS PLACES IN ANY COMMUNITY THEN CHECK THE WEEKLY PAPER FOR ADS. YOU'LL FIND MOST OF THE PROGRESSIVE BUSINESSES REPRE- SENTED IN THE ADVERTISING. The people who manage these firms believe in advertising because they have studied the history of business on this continent and they know the vital part that advertising has played in its growth. They've studied the local picture too and they know that advertising space in their local paper, when properly used, is a good in- vestment. They know, too, the part their newspaper plays in building their community and they value this bonus service received on top of a profit- able return from their advertising dollar, OR YOU CAN LOOK AT IT THE OTHER WAY and you'll find that the consistent advertisers are all successful business firms. A firm that advertises consistently will do one of twd things. If it offers good value in its merchandise or services, it will grow because the advertising brings new customers who soon become steady customers. If the advertiser doesn't offer good value, the advertising brings ,new customers who go away dis- satisfied and spread the word and soon the firm isn't advertising any more. So the ads in this newspaper are a guide to reliable service. The firms that advertise every month, year after year, must be giving good value. NOW, PLEASE DON'T GET US WRONG! Nothing in this ad is intended to imply that a firm which doesn't advertise in the Citizens News is necessarily a bad firm to do business with. Not at all. What we ARE saying is that firms which DO advertise consistently in this newspaper are firms you can rely on—firms supported by a great host of satisfied custom- ers. This is our claim and nothing more.
