totter to the editor Woman fractures ribs
in Saturday crash To the editor;
am probably the least
qualified,: person in Clinton tq
say "tfiank you" to Malt Edgar
and his family, but that la
exactly why I am going to do it.
fs It goes without saying that
'Clinton'a loss is Petrolia's gain
and wherever Malt goes, in his
quest for new teaching
challenges, the community will
have a man who believes it is
better to wear out than rust out.
He is a man of action and one
who gives freely of time and
energies, to community and
church.
A generation of Clintonians
have grown up since he began
teaching here 23 years ago and
many of today's citizens sat in
his classroom at one time or
other during, those years.
I came to know the Edgers
three years ago by the curious
coincidence of a Canadian
Forces transfer and a real estate
deal engineered by Danny
Colquhoun. We have since come
to be good neighbours and
friends.
This short closing poem by
Daniel Webster Hoyt sums up
my thoughts and why I am
publicly saying "thank you
Edgers for coming by this way."
If you have a friend worth
liking,
Like him. Yes, and let him
know
That you like him, ere life's
evening
Tinge his brow with sunset
glow.
Why should good words ne'er be
said
Of a friend till he is dead?
John Jerdon

To the editor:
It was a delightful surprise to
receive the clippings from The
News-Record concerning my
request for information on Dr.
Worthington. Several weeks ago,
I received a very nice and
informative letter from Mr.
William M. Hart but he did not
mention the newspaper article
and I did not know of it until
today when your letter came.
The courtesy of your
newspaper and the
thoughtfulness of the people
who responded is sincerely
appreciated. I am wilting to„each
of them personally.
Thank you again for your
help.

(Mrs. Charles E. Friemel),
Shreveport, Louisiana,
August 12, 1969.
Continued from Page 7
Mr. Munro said some farmers,
who were in areas with county
federations, might also find it
advantageous to join the
provincial group directly.
Financing under the new
structure will be from a number
of sources.
Individual members will pay a
fee of $20, possibly more, which
will split by a pre-arranged
formula among the local or
county organization, the OFA,
and the Canadian Federation of
Agriculture.
Corporate members will pay a
nominal fee, to be decided at a
meeting next week of the
executive and leaders of the
marketing boards, for annual
membership. On top of this will
be a service fee, to "cover the
cost of maintaining basic services
of the federation."
Services paid for by this fee
include lobbying the provincial
and federal governments,
handling resolutions, liaison with
corporate members, and "such
other services as have currently
been provided out of federation
general revenue,"
The plan also calls for the
OFA to do contract work for
commodity groups and
co-operatives, the kind of work
that is currently done by
consulting firms. Its information
department might also do
information work, on contract,
for corporate members.
Id? ;the Pasta the OF,;.A "hag*
drawn a line between" farm
groups that were members, and
received services, and those that
were not members, and received
none. It drew no line, however,
among farmers, on the grounds
that every farmer in the province
contributed indirectly through a
county group, a checkoff on
products marketed, or an
interest group of which he was a
member and which was in turn
an OFA member.
Now, only farmers who take
out memberships will be entitled
to receive services. This is the
same approach as the rival
Ontario Farmers' Union, which
also charges $20 for
memberships. The OFU now is
the Ontario region of the new
National Farmers' Union.
Services available to the OFA
members have not all been
arranged, but the following were
suggested in yesterday's plan:
- A membership card, and a
three-ring binder to hold
management digests, production
and management information,
product news, information of
legislation, and the like, all of
which would be mailed out by
the OFA;
- Some form of insurance
(the OFA was one of the
founders, 20 years ago, of
Co-operators Insurance
Associations of Guelph, and
later of a related life company,
and is a shareholder in both);
- An , ombudsman service,
expanded from the present
properties department;
- A special deal (as yet not
negotiated) on classified
advertising in Farm and
Country, a' farm newspaper in
which the OFA has a major
interest;
Importation of low-priced
farm machinery by Ontario
Farm Machinery Agency Ltd., a
wholly owned OFA subsidiary;
- Six addressed business reply
envelopes for the farmer to ask
for information or service from
the OFA.
Farmers would be expected to
buy memberships for the whole
year, not just when they want to
benefit from special services
offered.
Malcolm Davidson of
Brucefield, who led the ill-fated
GFO campaign, said the plan
adopted is a sound approach to
the problems facing the
federation. Mr. Davidson
represents the OFA's smallest
member organization, the
Ontario SPF Swine Association,
a group of about 25 producers
of special disease-free hogs.
One thing he learned in the
GFO campaign is that "farmers
want all the i's dotted and t's
crossed."
The GFO committee made
the r' mistake - ot„leityirtg 411. the
details- ' to the A founding
convention, and got heavily
criticized for it. "You have to be
more specific on the services
offered to the members."
"When it comes down to the
guts of it in the field, to selling
it, you have got to be a lot more
specific; otherwise people will
write it off without giving it a
chance."
Another speaker said the only
way to bring the farmers along
with the leaders would be to
allow each member organization
to consider the proposal and
come back to another meeting."
Bottle attack
leads to jail
Donald Oak, 19, of London
has been sentenced to 18
months after pleading guilty to
assault causing bodily harm. He
slashed the face and neck of
19-year-old James Gautrau of
London with a beer bottle July
26.
Gautrau, whose father
Norman G, was an armed forces
sergeant stationed at CFB
Clinton until his retirement
earlier this year, has been
released from hospital, but
doctors say it will be six weeks
before they know if the damage
is permanent.
Facial nerves and a neck
artery were cut during the
attack. If damage is permanent,
the left side of his face would be
expressionless.
Mr. Munro said maybe the
delegates should "take it home
and discuss it. But there is
nothing new in this proposal
that has not been discussed
before."
Mr. Davidson said the only
way to find out what the
farmers want is to ask what they.
will pay money for. "Change the
program enough until you have
one worth enough to collect
enough $20 bills to have an
organization.
"We've spent three to five
years doing this talking bit, let's
do a bit of acting."
The members finally accepted
a resolution "that we accept
these recommendations and act
on them as soon as possible."
Mr. Munro says the job now is
up to the executive, to round
out the package that will be put
before the farmers. This will be
done by the beginning of next
month, Sept. 11 at the latest.
Later in. the meeting, it was
agreed the board of governors,
an executive body within the
federation, should be reassessed
to see if it still fulfills any
worthwhile function.
Opera holds
performance
for-students
For its 21st season, the
Canadian Opera Company will
present productions of
"Elektra," "La Ferza Del
Destino," "Die Fledermaus,"
"Rigoletto" and "Turandot" -
productions that are expected to
attract capacity audiences to
O'Keefe Centre, Toronto, during
the company's tenure from
September 12 to October 11.
Of all these masterpieces the
one that may create the most
excitement (indeed the.
excitement can already be felt)
is Puccini's enigma, "Turandot."
The story of the icy princess has,
also been chosen for the student^
performances on October 2 and'
9 when students have the'
opportunity to see the opera for
$2 per ticket. What better choice
to present? "Turandot:" filled
with great theatrical climaxes,
big choruses and colourful
pageantry "Turandot:" filled
with soaring melody, searing
paSsion, tender love.
Students and adults alike will
enjoy one of the most thrilling
experiences in Opera. Those who
do not see "Turandot" will not
only miss the experience - they
wilt miss a truly satisfying
evening or afternoon of colour,
music, drama and entertainment.
After all that is what Opera is
really about!

OFA leader
wants world
wheat pact
Western wheat surpluses will
have an impact across Canada,
but particularly in Ontario,
according to Charles G. Munro,
president of the Ontario
Federation of Agriculture.
"Mountains of wheat rising in
the prairies," he says, "will soon
start hurting this province's
farmers in the wallet ... farmers
will continue to be caught in a
squeeze until there is an
equitable sharing of wheat
markets by world agreement."
Mr. Munro, in a statement
released this week, said
long-term OFA thinking has
been that "certain commodities
must . share a common
marketplace so all can gain
profit. The law of the jungle,
when carried out by even one
group, will mean financial failure
for all concerned."
The federation president
called on the federal government
to "develop a realistic program
to bolster the prairie economy
for the sake of all Canada,"
pointing out that effects on
Ontario farmers may include an
increase in western rapeseed
production and the building of
feedlots on the prairies so cattle
will be finished there instead of
in this province where the
Markets are.
