Clayton Steckle, a Hay township dairy
.farmer, recently became the 2000th mem-
ber of the Ontario Federation or
Agriculture in Huron county.
Mr. Steckle's signing culminates an in-
tensive drive by members of the Federation
in Huron in recent months to put the
county over the 2000 mark in memberships.
The landmark membership was sold by
Ted Steinback, RR 3, Zurich and Vince
Austin, RR 1, Dungannon.
For Mr. Steckle, it was the first time he
had belonged to a farm organization and
the first time he had been approached
about membership in the Federation.
"I think a farmer should belong to some
farm organization," he said, He noted that
the OFA's work in gaining a tax rebate for
farmers for education taxes was one of the
achievements of organization by farmers.
Federation signs 2,000th member
He said he had been thinking of joining the
organization for some time now.
Mr. Steckle and his wife Shirley operate
100-acre dairy farm on Lot 28, Con-
cession 9 Hay township. Mr. Steckle pur-
chased the farm in 1958 and grows corn
and hay as well as keeping about 100 head
of cattle including a milking herd of 45.
Mrs. Steckle was raised on a farm in Hay
township and her husband grew up near
Blake in Stanley township, The couple
have three daughters: Mary Ellen, 13;
Darlene, 10; and Sherry, 6.
OFA membership in Huron has been
growing at a rate of more than 100 a
month in the last few months as Huron
tried to top the quota for the county set at
the OFA convention in Oshawa n Novem-
ber. Huron has the largest membership of
' any county in Ontario in the Federation.

Ontario St. UCW hears of facial care
As you know by now, we changed a lot of things last
year. We gave you a new return, a new Guide, several new
deductions and a few new rules. And quite honestly, we were
more than a little concerned about your reaction to it all.
(And very, very interested in your opinions,)
Well, now that we've had time to really look back at it
and assess it honestly, it appears that most taxpayers did
not seem to find it too difficult. The error rate did not ac-
celerate greatly or change drastically from former years.
Generally, most taxpayers seemed to handle their new
returns fairly well. •
However, Income Tax will never be the easiest or most
enjoyable thing in anyone's life. And it will always present
problems in some areas, for some people. That's expected
and understandable.
SO. What we want to do now is really work on those
problem areas. And the best way to do that is to work with..
you, individually, on whatever part 'of Income Tax that causes
you difficulty, •
And that's whM April Aid is all about. It's a help system
and its primary objective is to ensure that whenever or
whatever you need help with, you can get it. And know how
to get it.
nicomE And this is how it
GUIDE workst,
• • First. Your Guide is always the
best answer when you have a problem,
Read it, ronow it. It not only gives explana-
tiOns, but in many Cases, examples of just
how to figure something out.
