Among those seven was the name of Walter Miller, the vice- president of the National Farmers Union, which is at odds with the OFA on most farm polic- ies. Mr. Hill just completing his first year as head of the reorganized federation. He is a former president and now an outcast member of the rival On- tario Farmers Union. I have no doubt that for the president to carry out his obli- gation, he must have your support. I thought an election would be a good way to find that out, but your attitude today shows that we are united," said Mr. Hill. "We will have a better year next year than we did this year by going down the road together. We laid the foundation last year n now we are going to pile the ocks on and up until farme s have a real say in their indust y." . Hill became fully involved in e federation only last year after the defeat of the General Organization plebiscite in Ontario. As a member of Ontario's special committee on farm in- come, Mr. Hill was a strong advocate of a GFO to unite all Ontario farmers Outside the convention hall, Mr. Hill said he hoped the new year would see increased par- ticipation among farmers and a much stronger membership. He hoped revenue could be increased through the sale of more memberships to enable the fed- eration to hire additional staff with legal, economic and socio- logical skills. REINSTATE TAX PROGRAM At the same meeting,Monday, OFA members authorized their executive to reinstate a tax- withholding action next year if suitable education tax reforms are not instituted by the pro- vincial government. Federation members con- ducted a summer-long program teartearwsIMIN CHRISTMAS TREES .,*0mx.bc Nicely Trimmed. GORDON NOBLE Phone 527-0840 — We Deliver -L- VISCOMMOVIX of withholding and threatening to withhold the education portion of their municipal taxes. The action helped lead to a 25-per cent tax rebate on farm proper- ty announced by the provincial government October 6. Cost to the provincial treasury is about $20 million. It took members nearly an hour to decide whether to con- gratulate themselves for winning the first round in the education tax issue. The convention finally agreed it "spearheaded" instead of won the first round. A resolution on tax reform noted the Ontario government has admitted that the current tax structure is not fair to property-owners and asked that support be sought from other property-owners for further changes in education tax policies. At an evening banquet, Agriculture Minister William A. Stewart reiterated his govern- ment's commitment to eventually remove education taxes from farm property. He said farmers should recognize that the 25-per- cent tax rebate is only an inter- im measure. He reminded the convention that the provincial government has spent over $400,000,000 in the last two years to reduce the tax burden on municipalities through such programs as the provincial takeover, of costs for the administration of justice and the implementation of the home shelter grants. The convention tabled a resolution asking that all school facilities be provided at minimum cost to farm organizations for farm'meetings. Earlier, president Gordon Hill, called the tax rebate one of the largest single benefits ever won by farmers. While the rebate meant an extra $20 million for Ontario farmers, "an even greater bene- fit is the assurance and confidence it has give n farmers in their ability to solve their problems by working together," he said. "Although this (the rebate) is not what we requested, farmers recognized it as a step in the right direction and indicative of government intention to resolve the matter soon," said Mr. Hill. However, the Varna farmer said, the education tax issue is by no means settled. "Government has not accepted the principle of education tax based on ability to pay. This is vital, and we must continue to press this issue." Reviewing the past year, Mr. Sarkilttle, federatrananhastinow sold more than 5,800 indiVidual service memberships which he said represented more "direct members than any other farm organization in Ontario." He said the OFA's objective of 10,000 individual memberships ca n easily be reached before Sept. 30, 1971, if everyone gets behind the sales program. Looking ahead, Mr. Hill said pollution, pesticides and the disposal of animal waste will be of increasing importance. Correspondent Mrs. Wm. Walters U. C. W. The Christmas meeting of the U. C.

The Economic Atlas of Ontario published by the Univer- sity of Toronto Press for the Province of Ontario has been chosen "the most beautiful book In the world" in competition with volumes published in any country in 1969. 27 countries were re- presented.

The atlas is especially com- mended to all those who' would probe deeper into the economic, geographic and social structure of Ontario.
