The Exeter Times-Advocate, 1974-12-19, Page 9Time;;-Advocate, De mber 19-, 1974 Pap Explain resignations. by .NFU .presidents Pork hostess Ls crowned District 6, Region 3 of the National Farmers Union at their last regular Board Meeting, discussed in detail the reasons for resignations of three Local Presidents within the District, Number 26 of the consolidated policy statements under "Land Tenure" which caused some of the disatisfaction was thoroughly re-examined and found to have been misunderstood. No, 26 reads as follows. "The NFU, traditionally the pioneer in new farm policy development, should take the lead in introducing new concepts of land tenure including revaluation of the principle of private land ownership com- pared to public ownership with tenure secured by leasing arrangements that would provide long term security of tenure and transfer from one geheration to the next within the family," A resolution from the floor passed the following day which stated: "Be it resolved that the convention instruct the National Board to structure a committee that can spell in detail for con- sideration at our next convention the new concepts in land tenure as is in section 26 of our con- solidated policy ownership." The NFU's main concern is to keep farm land for farmers and out of reach of speculators, also to provide opportunities for young people wishing to farm, but at todays ever increasing Move Snow The Easy Way prices are unable to do so. The increase in membership dues from $25.00 to $100.00 was also of concern for some locals. After debating the issue for hours and voting down a- mendments of $50.00 and $75.00 the constitutional amendment of $100,00 membership passed with 96 votes more than the 2/3 majority required for a con- stitutional amendment. Again the NFU has been successful in its efforts to aid farmers through a period of distressed prices. According to Denise Van Breda, director of district 6, region 3 of the National Farmers Union, members of the organization have been actively taking part in presentations to both federal and provincial governments in an effort to aid beef producers and request stabilization for all commodities including rate of inflation clause. WITH A TRACTOR MOUNTED One of their requests was that the Federal Government im- • program consisting of canned mediately implement a food aid' wolf lovers act quickly beef, which would reduce the ENJOY PURINA TOUR — A number of area dairymen and Purina dealers recently enjoyed a tour of Ralston Purina Research Farms at Conway, Arkansas and Grey Summitt, Missouri.
