Farm Forum To Discuss Organizations Farmers have organized at local, provincial and national levels to reach objectives which they cannot reach alone. But as times change, the goals of farmers and their organizations change also. What are the goals of Can- ada's farm organizations? What can members expect from the Are members getting what they want? What can your farm or- ganization do for you? This question; "What Can Your Farm Organization Do for You?", is the subject of Nation- al Farm Radio Forum, Monday, January 25th. It will examine the effect of rapid change on the goals of farmers and their or- ganizations. Featured on the panel will be J. M. Bentley, president of the Canadian Federation of Ag- riculture; Roy Atkinson, presi- dent of the National Farmers' Union and John R. Stewart, a farmer from Strathroy. ANCIENT FREE ENTERPRISE A writer in a public relations journal has an article asserting blandly that free private enter- prise as we know it began with the denunciation of the Stamp Act by the American colonists in 1765. That's only two hun- dred years ago. What about those fishermen on the Sea of Galilee? They seemed able to cast their nets without consulting any govern- mental authority. -The Printed Word. Only a Tenth Have License Plates Ontario owners of passenger and dual purpose vehicles and motorcycles are lagging badly in their purchases of 1965 li- cence plates says Transport Minister Irwin Haskett. "Unless the pace picks up there will be long lineups late in February just before the old plates expire," Mr. Haskett said. New plates went on sale December lst. At the end of December, with one third of the total time gone, only one tenth of these owners had ob- tained theirs. This means that of the province's 1,700, 000 passenger cars, 1, 500, 000 still lacked the new plates as the year ended. On and after March 1st, drivers using 1964 plates will be liable to a fine of up to $50.00. There will be "abso- lutely no extension" beyond the February 28th deadline. 1965 plates for trucks and trailers go on sale March 1st, 1965, and the 1964 truck and trailer plates expire March 31st, 1965. THREATENING LETTERS An angry little man bounced into the postmaster's office. "For some time," he shout- ed, "I've been bothered by threatening letters, and I want something done about it." "I'm sure we can help," soothed the postmaster. " Thats a federal offense, Have you any idea who is sending you these letters'?" "Certainly," snapped the little fellow. "It's them pesky income tax people!" HOW/CK TWP. COUNCIL Many Items of Business At Inaugural The inaugural meeting of the Howick Township Council for 1965 was held in the clerk's office last week.
