Farmers CIrganize
To Battle Hydro
• By Keith Roulston
Farmers in Bruce County and
the northeastern part of Huron
County have organized to fight
for a better deal with
regards to a proposed power line
to run from Douglas Point Nuclear
Generating Station to Seaforth.
Adrian Vos of Blyth, a mem-
ber of the property committee of
the Huron Federation of Agricul-
ture told directors of the Feder-
ation Thursday that the Huron and
Bruce Federations, through their
property committees met with
proposed high-voltage line except
those in Htillett township and
there has been complete agree-
ment on setting‘up a negotiating
committee to fight for the best'
possible deal for farmers. The
ne_gotiating committee will be
people.
Mr. McCallum said only a few
farmerS feel they can stop the
line from going through,their area
while most are interested in see-
ing that their best interests, Ind
those,of their municipality are
looked after.

LETTER TO' THE. EDITOR
Organizing Is Only
Hope For Change
Lucknow Sentinel.
Dear Sir; p
Mr. J. A. McMurchy brought
out two interesting facts in his
letter of December 6th, "one
hour's work will buy more farm
produce than at any time in our
history", and "some of our prod-'•
ucts like' apples , tomatoes and
other products go to waste in the
fields for lack of profitable help."
Financially, labor has made ,
progress in the last 25 years, and
farmers have not. Let us not
condemn the man who is bargain-
ing
.
collectively, and improving
his financial status; rather, let us
improve our own.
A labourer hires for a certain
salary,, and a storekeeper:has the
_tights° mar.k_up his merchandise
over his wholesale cost. A farin-
er, however, has .first the elem-
-ems to contend--with;-„if_he has a
good crop and can afford to get .
it off, he'must then compete in
I the marketplace. often with
icheaper, impOrted subsidized.
I products. ,A business man would ,
not operate with-5116h odds. The
!
produce in the fields should .be
worth a labourer's wage and.a
profit for the producer;
-0n-sumer
with plenty Of food available.
Only through organiling, as other
segments of society have, can
farmers hope to change this sys-:
tem.'
Sincerely,
.MRS. JOHN AUSTIN.
