Leaders stress need — Continued from front page ed out the need of the farm or- ganizations to work closely with the resource people to fulfill the needs of the people in the or- ganizations. He called for the establishment of more schools such as leader- ship schools and folk schools to give people the opportunity to work with these resource People and broaden their views on life by discussing different topics among themselves. He also stressed the need of keeping in touch with Junior Farmers and 4-H programs so that we are always aware of the development of our future farmers. C. H. Thomas, president of the Federation supported these views and suggested education should be made available to those who wished to take advantage of it. In his statement he said: "When surpluses disappear society will demand more ef- ficient production which will tend , to make agriculture a more regu- lated industry to the detriment of those farmers who do not wish to become more efficient. Efficient use of land will become more and more the interest of governments and groups representing the non- ,farm segment of our society. In order to increase efficiency we will have to turn to more sophisticated forms of technol- ogy. Since the war we have moved rapidly toward the type of farm- ing which relies on big tractors, combines, chemical weed con- trols and insecticides, and build- ings engineered for very specific purposes. We are already learning to apply the new technology of the data processing machine to our management in the fields of re- cord keeping, financing and breeding and may soon be in the field of production. These ad- vances not only make capitaliza- tion more difficult but also creates the problem for educa- tion and retaining of farmers in the best use of these techniques. Farmers of the future may have to spend several weeks each year attending courses and tours just to stay abreast of new developments. The Dept. of Agri- culture is already offering many such courses but I believe other farm organizations should bear most of the responsibility for organizing and conducting such programs so that the Dept. could devote more time to resource material and personnel. The future of agriculture looks Very bright for those farmers who are now established and are operating efficient well managed farms. The future looks less bright for the new individual trying to start with too little capital and education." Phone bldg. — Continued from front page Dashwood to connect in with a main cable to allow for extended area service. When the change- over is made next fall there will be no toll charge for residents calling Grand Bend, Exeter or Zurich. The switch to dial is expected to take place about the end of October, 1966. This will be the last exchange in the Hay system to be changed to dial. Plans call for the framework to receive the terminal cables to be in- stalled at the new building early in the spring and new telephones installed in homes later in the summer. The actual d i al i n g equipment will be installed in the new building in August. The new building and equip- ment will handle some 360 ser- vices when the new operation starts with room for expansion in the building to handle double this many as needed without hav- ing to expand the building. Most species of sharks bear living young, called pups. This year at RCAF Station Centralia, has been a year of changes.

S/L GR Hol- linshead took over the reins of Primary Flying School from S/L RA Caskie who assumed duties at the Air Force College, Tor- onto. The year 1965 was also one of many visits and tours. Among these were high ranking service officers on official inspections of the Station's facilities and informal visits from neighbour- ing service clubs who were in- terested in the activities of this station. Lt. Gen. S. Walsh CBE, DSO, CD, Vice Chief of the Defence Staff was the first of the VIP visitors. He was followed by A/V/M CH Greenaway, then Commander of Air Force Train- ing Command, Air Commodore LJ Birchall, Commandant RMC, and later in the year, Brigadier Anthony Bailey, Deputy Com- mander of the new Integrated Training Command. Air Com- modore CW Burgess, the Air Officer Commanding, RCAF Training Command, made his official inspection late in Octo- ber and just recently the new Commander of the Integrated Training Command, Air Vice Marshall R.

These sports were competed on the inter-mess as well as inter- station level. There were some unpleasant memories as well. Two fatal air crashes took the lives of three of our pilots and motor vehicle accidents claimed three lives. A third aircraft crash was narrowly avoided when one of the training aeroplanes was hit by a rifle bullet which barely missed the control cables.
