The Bruce County Federation of Agri-
culture board and executive met on
Monday, February 28, at the OMAF
boardroom, Walkerton.
It was moved by Wayne Robertson
seconded by Fran MacAuley that an
alphabetical list of Bruce county ISM be
ordered for the office. This will be
useful for checking Rural Voice sub-
scriptions and other day to day busi-

Our fieldman Doug Gowanlock re-
ports that as of March 15 1983, the
extended health plan will only be sold
within 30 days of ISM enrollment or
renewal date. He also reported that
anyone who wishes to use the new
financial counselling service being set
up by OFA should call Dale Ferns
1-416-485-3333 in Toronto or get in
touch with our fieldman.
Some local municipal councils are
expressing concerns regarding farmers

been registering complaints with re-

themselves of the same price savings
as urban consumers

NOTICE
FARM AERIAL PHOTOGRAPHS
DELTA PHOTO
by Dale Ferns
OFA Director of Policy Development
Over the last number of months, approximately 25 OFA
members in south western Ontario have contacted us regarding
the failure of Delta Photo to supply photos prepaid. The cost was
usually in the area of $100-$150.
We have tried to contact the business by phone and through
the mail with no success. In addition, we have been informed by
the Ministry of Consumer and Commercial Relations that the
business has not responded to their inquiries.
Please advise your members that pre -payment for such services
is definitely not recommended and that our experience with Delta
Photo has not been favourable.
