Home My WebLink AboutThe Huron Expositor, 1957-12-06, Page 13tie Qptirire .Gnvern7aaent was urged by the Ontario Federation AA Agriculture to revievf its' -form - We ts' form- ula for commodity' graup votes. This• recommendation was; con- tained, in the annual. Brief dof the Federation presented ' to. Premier Frost and lois Cabinet. tty Q.F.A. President, Gord"on Greer, and re- • presentatives of the O.F.A.'s 83- anember organizations. Under present government regu- lations for Ontario commodity groups, a minimum of 51 per cent .of the eligible voters must vote "yes", and those voting "yes" must be at least 60 per cent of all those voting. The brief stated that "under the so-called '60-51' system in the regulati:,ns it would appear that .a minimum turnout of 85 per cent of those eligible to vote \ ould be required tinder . ordinary circum- stances. •The . factor ,which has .aroused most concern is that the votes . of producers 'who do not trouble to cast a , ballot for var- ious' seasons are counted as voxes in opposition to the plan." e The brief pointed to tae narrow- ing, gap between costs and price; since 1951 in the farm economy. :Said the brief: "This is no new statement. It has been repeated Ion every public • platform in the country by speakers of every political hue and economic persu- asion. Moderate economists say that it is to be expected; • less ..orthodox .thinkers deplore it; most agree that something must be done about it. The Ontario Fed- ,eration of Agriculture believes that something can be done and • that the solution involves close co- operation between the government .and the farm organization." The brief made a wide range of recommendations, -including mat- ters relating to farm credit, land expropriation, compulsory motor vehicle insurance and government _ market research. 77, Y Yrs 911 iti a s i t!I r ,I+l Itr.

He had been in fail- ing health for the past few years. He was born March 27, 1891, on the 6th concession of Hibbert, a son of the tate George Henry Peart and Eliza Jane Parrish. He farmed all his life in Hibbert town- ship until moving to Mitchell a year ago. He was unmarried, and is sur- vived by one sister, Miss Myrtle Peart, of Hensall, and one- half- brother, Grover Pender, of Medi- cine Hat, Alberta. The late Mr. Peart was a mem- ber of eromarty Presbyterian Church. ' The fineral service was held on Monday, Dec. 2, at 2 p.m. at the Heath -Leslie Funeral Home, Mit- chell. Rev.
