If F of A and Union Join
John Phillips,, farm business
editor of the Rural Co-Opera-
tors, said farmers of this area
would be better off if th,e two
farm organizations, the Federa-
tion of Agriculture and the
Farmers' Union, cembined to
form one forceful group.
Details of Mr. Phillip's speech
at the Zone two conference of
the Ontario Federation Of Ag-
riculture, held in Listowel, on
Tuesday, were given to Huron
members at their annual meet-
ing, Thursday, by Charles
Thomas, president. Mr. Phillips
said both groups have the same
objectives but use different
techniques to express themsel-
yes He said in 1961, at the
OFA members Meeting, in Tor-
onto, a resolution was passed
that in five years, the two
groups would be one. "How-
ever," he said, "the five years
are up and things are still the
same."
He also criticised the farm or-
ganizations because so many
farmers were leaving. their
land. He said if many more do
this, Canada will be faced with
a food shortage because of the
rapidly-growing population.
Mr. Phillips then spoke on
the Farmers' Union in Britain.
He said the organization was
similar to the Federation. He
added it provides more ser-
vices to Britain's farmer and on
an average represents a mem-
ber ,at One .court case a day to
assist in the settling of disputes.
Another speaker at the con-
ference was Murray Young, in-
spector of agricultural classes
in Ontario. He told the Federa-
tion members, school boards
should look into the matter of
supplying , agricultural, class-
rooms before buildiog new
schools.
He said 'school boards teild
to overlook agricultural class-
rooms when planning a school
and forget large grants are av-
ailable from the government if
such classrooms are built. He
pointed out agriculture was not
just a subject for future farm-
ers, but would he useful to any-
. one who becomes a food hand-
ler or people just interested in
keeping their lawn in good
shape when they buy their
own house.
Mr. Young added they were
trying to establish a type of
agriculture for the changing
60's. He said the two aims of
agriculture as taught in secon-
dary school was to encourage
students to stay in school and
to show some indication what
is involved and what jobs are
open in agriculture. He left
the Federation members with
this question, "Can we be cone
tent with the type of agricul-
tural education in this space
age of today?"
A Panel discussion about the
County Federations was also
part of the conference. A. H.
Daynard was moderator and
panel members were Charles
Thomas, Jim Jacklin; Ed.
Dearing, and John Black. They
discussed providine more ser-
vices for menibers. Some of the
services mentioned Were to
,have a lawyer or accountant in
the office for legal matters, to
have income tax consultants
and to have people trained in
property matters.
'Mr. Bill Urqunart, Manager
of the Mid-Western Develop-
ment Association spoke on re-
gional .development and the
part that the Federations can
play.
REPORT FROM
QUEEN'S PAM
Murray Gaunt M.P.P.
Huron-Bruce
During the debates in coanecte
ion with the Department of 14111-
cation• it was suggested that Ont-
ario's history books should be
rewritten to stimulate interest
among students for Canadian
history.
A number of the Opposition
members said that more emphasis
be placed on the struggle for res-
ponsible government and the roles
plIyed by leaders in the movement
for Confederation and by later
federal and provincial leaders.
Unfortunately, in,ost Ontario
students have never heard of
fornier provincial premiers such
as Oliver Mowatt or George
Drew.
An inadequate Canadian hist-
ory course is offered in, Grade
10 and an optional course is
offered in Grade 14,
The Canada Assistance plan
has been introduced by the Fed-
eral Government and will make
$`85,000,000 available to the pro-
vinces this year to help expand
welfare services, This will in-
clude increases to old age pen-
sioners where the need for such
in orease is apparent.
The cost of the program will be
shared on a 50-50 basis with the
provinces.
The Legislature is now consider,
ing the estimates of the Depart-
ment of University Affairs. After
this there will be three depart-
Tnental estimates to approve,
namely; Public Welfare,,
oulnre and Attorney General.
