Everyone loves a party, and the directors of the Huron County Federation of Agriculture are no exception. They are inviting every­ one to their celebration of the 50th anniversary of the Ontario Federa­ tion of Agriculture. When the Ontario Federation of Agriculture was formed in 1936, it was called The Ontario Chamber of Agriculture. In 1940, the name was changed, but what has never changed is the mandate of the organization itself. Paul Klopp of Varna, president of Huron County federation, says that the organization has made major improvements in farming conditions in Ontario. Virtually every farm program in the past 50 years, he adds, has originated within the OFA. The challenge for the future, he says, is to find a method that will get farmers an adequate return for their produce. Last November, at their annual conference, OFA delegates com­ memorated 50 years of working to improve rural Ontario. This year, county groups all across Ontario are featuring special events to celebrate their years of support for the farming industry. Gordon Hill of Varna, a former OFA president who has researched the history of the Huron County Federation of Agriculture, reports that Huron County Council was instrumental in establishing the Hurongroup. The first meeting was held on July 7, 1941, Fred Watson of Bayfield was president that year, J. W. Gamble of Gorrie was vice-president, and Wm. J. Dale from Clinton was Secretary- Treasurer. The birthday party, an “Old Tyme Jamboree” and barbeque, will be held at the Seaforth Community Centre on Sunday, June 28. The entertainment starts at 2 p.m. and the barbeque is from 5:00 to 7:00.
