members of the Provincial
Council. No Minister of the
Crown will sit on the Provincial
Council as is the case under the
Medical and Dentistry Acts and
under the Law Society Act.
"The Founding Convention
and subsequent annual meetings
of the GFO must ratify, modify
or reject bylaws made by the
Provincial Council.
"The legislation provides for
the holding of annual and special
conventions and for the election
of delegates to these meetings.
Bill 140 specifies that the
Provincial Council must make a
full report to annual meetings,
including a certified financial
statement. The legislation even
provides for dissolution of the
organization at the request of
producers.
Examples like these say a lot more about
Treflan than we ever could.
Take Louis Ducharme, He found himself in a
situation where hoeing labor costs were cutting
deep into his profits. Now careful incorporation
of Treflan to the right depth into his white bean
crop has eliminated the need to hand hoe.

County GFO campaign
committee and their township
affiliates wasted little time in
setting up election procedures
after June 24 was officially set
as the date farmers of Ontario
will go to the polls to decide on
the type of governing body they
wish. If the vote, which is called
an opinion poll is carried by at
least 60%, the provincial
government will establish One
General Farm Organization.
At Clinton Tuesday night,
more than 40 township
committee members met with
the County committee and
Huron Agricultural
Representative Don Pullen to
designate polling places and
other election procedures for the
County.
Pullen has been appointed
Chief Returning Officer by the
Department of Agriculture and
Food and will be selecting three
deputy returning officers in each
poll. He will use a list of
previous election officials as a
guide in making his choices.
Wherever possible, the deputy
returning officers and other
election officials will be farmers,
The vote will be held on June
24 and 39 polls serving 16
townships in Huron will be open
from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. An
Advance poll will be held at the
Agriculture Department Offices
in Clinton on Thursday, June 19
from 9 a.m. to 5.15 p.m.
In this vote, farmers are not
restricted to vote in their own
poll but may choose to cast their
ballot at any convenient
location. Some polling booths
are set up in locations to serve
more than one township.
Usborne farmers may vote at
the Usborne Central School or
the Township Hall at Elimville.
In Stephen, ballots may be
marked at the Dashwood
Community Centre, Stephen
Township Office in Crediton or
the Shipka Community Centre.
Polls for the convenience of
Hay township farmers will be
open at Zurich, Hensall and
Blake. In Tuckersrnith, the
polling booths will be located at
Brucefield, the Township shed at
Egmondville and Ken Gemmeil's
farm, northeast of Kippen.
All voters will be required to
sign forms saying they are in the
farming business. According to
Bill 140 which was passed by the
Ontario Legislature last week
authorizing the vote says, "any
person, other than a body
corporate, who is the owner,
part owner or tenant of a farm
in Ontario or who is a
shareholder in a body corporate
that is the owner, part owner or
tenant of a farm in Ontario who
is engaged on the farm in the
production of agricultural
products" is entitled to vote.
Added to this is "his or her
spouse and any person related to
him through blood relationship,
marriage or adoption, of the age
of twenty-one years or older and
actively engaged in the operation
of a farm. Farmers do not need
to be Canadian citizens in order
to cast their ballot.

The June 24 vote on a
General Farm Organization
offers the best opportunity to
date for individual farmers to
participate in setting up a farm
organization to serve their needs.
This was one message
Malcolm Davidson, Brucefield,
chairman of the GFO Campaign
Committee stressed at a meeting
in Arthur on June 6.
The meeting of county
committee chairmen and
committeemen in the area was
one of a series to officially
launch the final drive in the
campaign to urge farmers to set
up a GFO in Ontario.
The kickoff meetings across
Ontario will be followed by
public rallies with top flight
speakers in every county in Old
Ontario,
The ballot offers farmers an
opportunity to vote on
representation of marketing
boards on the GFO Provincial
Council and on the form of
membership and financing for
the new organization.
At a press conference
following the meeting Mr.
Davidson emphasized that after
the vote farmers will have a
second opportunity to influence
the structure and financing of
the new organization.
Farmers must elect delegates
to the founding convention and
members of the Provincial
Council, the governing body of
the GFO.
"Farmers will surely vote for
delegates and members of the PC
who represent their opinions on
the ballot questions," Mr.
Davidson said.
"Two rumours are circulating
in Ontario which are obviously
untrue," Mr. Davidson said.
Some people are saying that a
GFO will be government
controlled. A very few people
are saying that there will be no
provision for periodic elections.
"People who spread these
rumours have either not read the
legislation or are deliberately
trying to confuse farmers.
"Farmers will elect all the

At the same time, a similar

with members of Marketing

the speakers. Both meetings are
slated for 8 p.m.
Chairmen of the township

Elmer Hunter is chairman of
the County committee and other
members are George Robertson,
George Smith, John Stafford
and Phil Durand. Mrs. Faye Fear
is secretary of the group.
In organizing a publicity
campaign, chairman Hunter and
public relations officer George
Robertson stressed the need for
canvassers to get out and tell
farmers of the upcoming vote.
Hunter added, "Apathy is
worse than fighting a known
enemy, we have to get the
information out to our voters."
There will be three questions
on the ballot facing Ontario
farmers on June 24.
First and foremost is, "Are
you in favour of a general farm
organization with compulsory
checkoff?"
A complete copy of the
ballot facing farmers on June 24
will appear in all weekly papers
in Huron during the week of
June 19.
