who presided at the annual
meeting of the organization
when a year of progress was
reported.
Reith and Walter Stuart, had done.
He pointed out the dollar volume
had been achieved, despite ab-
normally low prices for poultry
and eggs, and the declining pur-
chasing power of the farmer.
R. S. McKercher, chairman of
the finance committee, reviewed
the building and expansion pro-
grame which had been carried out
during 1954 at a cost of $45,000.
He said major alterations were al-
most completed and the program
would be finished as soon as
weather permitted. All costs had
been paid to date.
A question period and discussion
followed, led by Mr. McKercher
and Mr. Schenk. Ross McGregor
expressed appreciation to the lad-
ies who had catered.
Farmers constitute 13 per cent
of the population, but obtained by
8 per cent of the national income,
Alden McLean, vice-president of
the U.C.O. Board, of Muirkirk,
who was guest speaker, told the
meeting. This compared, he said,
with 18 per cent of the national
income being realized by invest-
ments.
Mr. McLean stressed the impor-
tant job being done by the Federa-
tion of Agriculture, and the fact
that it was recognized as the of-
ficial voice of agriculture. De-
spite the accomplishments of the
Federation. it was operating on a
budget based on a 50 cent assess-
ment per 100 -acre farm.
Community groups. he said,
were expanding and playing an
increasing role in assisting under-
privileged nations. In this con-
nection. Co-op development was a
big factor. The speaker told of
(.'o -op advances in the field of
insurance, feed-. fertilizers and
oil. The appreciation of the meet-
ing was expressed by Alex Mc -
G regor.

Congratulates
Lions Pool Pian
Backbone is the most valuable
asset an individual may have, Rev.
M. Thomas, Walton, told Seaforth
Lions Club Monday evening, as he
related various bones of the body
to the attitude held towards life.
He went on to congratulate the
club on the pool project that was
being undertaken. It was the reg-
ular meeting of the club and was
arranged by Harry Nesbitt and
Willis Dundas. Mr. Dundas pre-
sided.
While backbone provides afnbi-
tion for aims in life, the wishbone
suggests wishful thinking, which
gets us nowhere, the speaker said.
The direction of movement is
much more important than the
position in which we stand..
