Endorses
recycling
pr9posal
'Walter Miller, vice-president

source.

posal for a dump in Minto town-
ship.for garbage train Toronto,
called for 'legislation to make
recycling of garbage mandatory.
His call won support from the
Huron County Federation of
eAgriculture Thursday night at
a 'meeting in Clinton. • In dis-
cussing the situation, in neigh-
bouring Vhllington county, the
Huron .e'ounty farmers felt Mr.
Miller's suggestion Was the long-
term answer to the problem of
,dumping. ,
• ,As to supporting the Wee of
the vice-president, of the long
time rival NFU, Peer Chandler,
a edirector from East Wawanosh
declared' that if the Federation
ever^ hoped to have a general
farm eirgeanization it must be wil-
ling to support the NFU when the
Union had a pod idea.e
President Mason Bailey of
Blyth said he wondered if at
times the government wasn't glad
to see the two farm groups at
each other's throats because it
kept farmers from getting
together to voice -a united stand.
The motion carried unani-
mously.
