letters to to the editor
1'o the editor; •
We are now in the last week
of the .campaign to build the
Jest farm.organization in Canada
today, We know that farmers.
from coast to _coast are watching
Ontario and are planning to
follow our lead. Tuesday, June
24, will be one of the most,
important days in both Ontario
and Canadian Agriculture. It iS
the starting point for farmers to
build a really effective provincial
and national farm organization,.
After 30 years of the OFA
and 17 years of the OFU, farm
incomes are much too IoW.
Another 17 years of either of
these two organizations will not
solve the problem. It is time for
a change and it's time for the
farmers to make the decisions..
That is what Will happen on
June 24. No farm leader is going
to tell the farmers what sort of
organization he is going to lrave-
The farmers will decide this by
the way each one casts his
ballot. Each of us has an equal
say.
y
There have beep a number of
wild and irresponsible'
,accusations and. claims which
have come and • gone like this
week's specials at the
supermarket: However, the last
of these, while it is typically
wild and irresponsible, should be'
dealt with before vote day so
that we reach June 24 with the'
air cleared of this red herring.
Let's be clear about this. The
OFU wanted legislation, the
OFA wanted legislation and now
we have the legislation with less
government interferencethan
with any other legislation used
by any other groupin our
society. But what is much more
important, the government
cannot dissolve this organization
or remove its checkoff powers
without going back to the
legislature to amend or remove
the Act. Can you imagine the
uproar in the House if the
government were to try that? I
hope that farmers are . not
confused and scared to the point
that they fail to take this
opportunity. Let's take this
legislation and .use it to our
advantage. If it is as bad as some
would have us believe, we can
drop it. Remember that we can
vote this GFO out every two
years if we don't like it. As they
say, "if you haven't, tried it,
don't knock it!" • mr,
I would like to make ori
final point about my own.,,
position. • I shall not stand, for
delegate..;;tre ,the,
founding convention and will,:
therefore, not be eligible for,
election to the provincial council
or the executive. This is 'not
because I am trying to avoid

some future responsibility, but
rperely because I hope that this
wilt dispel .any Idea that I am
trying to create an empire for

I hope that every farmer and

vote will get out ort June 24 and

farm m organization and a brighter

GFO Campaign Committee:
t< 4; 4:
You have discussed the
General Farm Organization in
your paper. Now the time has
come for the farmers, their wives
and families over 21 who are
actively engaged in farming to.
vote.
The three questions in brief
are,;
1, Do you -wairt one farm
organization?
2. Do you want marketing
boards to have a vote?
3. How do you want to obtain
membership?
We need one organization
strong enough to keep up with
agricultural advancement,
Two instances come to mind
where we are behind this
advancement:
Our production has surpassed'
our 'available markets, and dairy
and butter spreads are being
marketed but are still being
taxed for excise tax because
they are not on the list of
exempted goods,
Ladies, we have been given a
chance to say ,what kind of an
organization we want. We
cannot lice in a little community
any more. What we produce and
sell are affected by the world's
situations. Let's get out and vote
on June 24 and have a say in our
agricultural happenings.
If we don't turn' out in a large
percentage, we may not be given
another chance, So Vote on
June 24.
