The evening included an outdoor wine and cheese reception and VE 50, a musical revue. Huron F of A elects directors LONDESBORO -"I have visions of the Ontario Federation of Agri- culture being the only creditable voice for general agriculture." Those were the words of Doug Lisle, the newly appointed general manager of the Ontario Federation of Agriculture speaking at the Hu- ron County regional OFA meeting September 7 in Londesboro. Lisle with over a quarter century of mid -to senior -level management experience in the public and private sectors has previously served as president and chief operating offi- cer of Tradewinds International Consulting Ltd., and agrifood pro- cessing associations operating at national and provincial levels. He continued, "In three weeks in office I have been overly impressed by the capabilities of your staff not only in Toronto but in the field and by the work they do. In your re- search and policy departments, nine people are doing a better job than 41 I had working for me in Sas- katchewan." Lisle concluded, "We in Toronto will stay on top of issues as they emerge and not when they become open. What we will provide to you the membership is service, service and more service." In thanking the guest speaker, Huron's past president Bill Wallace said, "You gave us a good report card and our steering committee did a great job in choosing a head man." Huron F of A president Stephen Thompson who was chairman for the evening reported on a number of things the executive has done to be of benefit, not only to F of A members, but to everyone in the ru- ral environs of Huron County. He continued, "We met with new MPP Helen Johns and one of our most important concerns was that agriculture not be treated harshly in any upcoming budget cuts. We were told that, consistent with cam- paign promises, there were no cuts envisioned for agriculture." Thompson said he had met the new Agriculture Minister Noble Villeneuve when both were credit advisors for the Farm Credit Corpo- ration in the early 1970's and found him to be most fair and reasonable when dealing with issues of the day. The Huron president added that he and Ken Knox, the Deputy Min- ister were both members of an ex- tremely small graduating class in Ag Economics at the University of Guelph. He continued, " Ken's abil- ities to see both sides of sensitive issues and his abilities to make the right, rather than the popular deci- sions will certainly be put to public scrutiny over the next several years. Regional directors for Huron are: Jeanne Kirkby, Huron Central: Neil Vincent, Huron Northwest; Bob Down, Huron South and Will Staf- ford, Huron Northeast. Doug Lisle commended the Hu- ron Federation on the recent release of a very newsy newsletter and ex- ecutive members voiced thanks to Pat Down of Usborne township for her leadership and planning in pre- paring the newsletter. Down is also second vice-president of the Huron Federation. The annual meeting and banquet of the Huron Federation of Agricul- ture will be held on Friday, Novem- ber 10 at the Goderich township hall in Holmesville at 7 p.m. The executive for the Huron Federation of.Agriculture is shown at last week's regional meet- ing.
