Wednesday evening. Shawn here are Gil- bert Smith (left), who was elected President. and Alvin Dodds, re-elected as Secretary -Treasurer. MUST PRESENT UNITED FRONT,: McKILLOP F. OF A. IS ADVISED" Necessity of farmers speaking with one voice was stressed by Gordon Greig when he addressed the annual meeting of McKillop Township Federation of Agricul- ture in S.D.H.S. Wednesday night. Mr. Greig. from Bluevale, is the former secretary-fieldman of the Huron Federation. Mr. Greig .traced the history of the Federation in Huron County. What lies ahead, he said, depends on farm organizations. All units, he said. should join to- gether as an organization. Point- ing out that there were critics of the F. of A. who say the organiza- tion is dead, Mr. Greig contended that the last three years have proved it is not dead ..and that it will last a long time. Success, he emphasized, depends to a large de- gree on the work within the town- ships. Gordon Scott introduced Mr. Greig to the meeting, and Robert McMillan thanked him. Alvin Dodds, secretary -treasurer, reviewing • the activities of the group, indicated that 'last year was a successful one. Mr. Dodds re- ported a balance at the end of the financial year, which ends each November. amounting to $926. County Federation President Douglas McNeil spoke to the Bath= ering and told of the meetings in Toronto with other county repres- entatives. He pointed out that the Federation is expa'hding rapidly in the North and is 'getting well 'or- ganized. They are working on a membership basis rather than the assessment levy. Mr. McNeil commended the various media on the splendid job of informing the public in the matter of farm af- fairs. Bert Lobb, president of the Hur- on County Hog Producers' Associa- tion, remarked that progress is being made, with 60 to 9Q per cent having signed to ship_ to the open market. Gilbert Smith, acting president, informed the meeting that town- ship committees have the canvass well under way. Secretary-fieldman Carl Hem- ingway stressed the fact that com- petition of other products had to be met by "advertising our pro- ducts". The -aim is to get more hogs on the open market, since the farmer wants to sell to the SLIGHTLY INSANE? Another blast from a very well known Toronto column- ist—"If you were selling a pro- fitable commodity, would you not think it paradoxical, or ev- en slightly insane, to warn cus- tomers against it?" Thus he writes about one aspect of the liqubr policy of the Manitoba Government. It has set aside $50,000 for adver- tising that points out the dan- ger of indulgence. He quotes the head of the advertising committee of six appointed by the government—"Our aim Into reach the broadest possible audience with factual and un- biased material that will at- tract and hold reader interest." "Slightly insane?" Most sens- ible, surely, on all counts. "A profitable commodity?" To the trade, assuredly. To the Government? No! In On- tario, indulgence in liquor costs the province two and a half times as much as the liquor tax teeeeived. This ecoe nomic and social cost of indul- gence, in terms of extra po-- Iice and court costs, and so- cial services, is staggering, to say nothing of the awful cost of human misery' entailed Well done, Matlitobat— XAdvt•,), highest bidder. Stanley Hillen reported on the 'McKillop 4-H Grain—Club. There were 30 members last year, and 90 per cent of these completed projects. Members decided to sponsor the grain club again for 1957. Arthur Bolton. Huron County as- sistant agricultural representative, spoke briefly and commended the McKillop F. of A. on their suc- cessful year.
