FOA meeting best attended yet
There was a lot of
active discussion at the
monthly Huron
Federation meeting last
week. Over, 40 members
attended the general
meeting making it one of
the best attended
meetings in ages. The
subject of severence of
corner lots on farms
came under heated
debate as members
questioned a resolution
submitted by Stanley
,township to have severed
lots termed rural
residential, which makes
owners aware of
nuisance, noise and smell
of farm operations.
It was pointed out that
in some townships
retiring farmers who
want to build on the
corner of their farm,
don't need a severence to
obtair, a building permit.
There were many
members who argued
that the land should .be
left zoned as agricultural.
Gordon Hill, Varna,
and Mason Bailey, Blyth,
were both vocal against
the resolution. Mr. Hill
felt the resolution was
asking members how
they stood on severences
and wondered if farmers
needed to be that drastic
here in Huron County.
Mr. Mason pointed out
that the restrictions
proposed would penalize
farmers more. He cited
the 'example of the far-
mer who owned a 400 acre
farm and was denied a
severence to build a
retirement home on. The
farmer ended up going
down the road and paying.
$14,000 for a lot to build
his house on.
"People who have
money will fired a way to
live in the country," said
Mr. Mason.
The resolution was
referred to the land use
committee for ironing out
before, submission to
Ontario Federation of
Agriculture.
Bev Brown, Bluevale
pointed out to members
that there is talk that the
import duty on twine may
go up in the spring.
Complaints have beery
received that twine is
being dumped from
Tasmania . and Mexico.
If subsidization is proved
in those countries then
the case is brought before
the Anti dumping
Tribunal.
Ms. Brown pointed out
that the Agriculture
Canada doesnot know
about the situation but
the Ontario Federation is
aware of the problem.
Huron members passed a
resolution to ask the
Ontario F of A to become
actively interested in the
case in Ottawa and to
make sure that no import
duty is put on twine.
A request for support
for an erosion study by
four area youths was
received and members
recommended support
with the understanding
that the students explore
possible solutions rather
than problems. The
students are applying for
a Young Canada Works
program to develop an
educational .Aide . show,
and cassette that will be
offered to groups for
viewing. The presen-
tation will be self ex-
planatory. -
Maurice. Bean and
Norman Alexander, both
members of the Erosion
Committee felt that
groups did not know what
they are looking for when
undertaking a study of
this nature.
"I am into the 18th
showing of my slide show
(on erosion)" said Mr.
Alexander, "and people
want slides of results".
The , members
recommended that the
students contact the
erosion committee for
further information.

ep
reported on the public
speaking lessons
members are presently
taking with ten enrolled.
From the last class the
federation has given two
speaking engagements
and have two more
coming up. The
federation does speak to
service clubs, and
members of course are
invited to speak.
Members were offered
lessons, on writing press
releases ,and reports. The
course is three Saturdays
long and anyone in-
terested may contact
Brenda Mclritosh,
Brucefield. Members
divided into regional
groups and discussed
membership drives and
communications with
current members and
recruiting. Update of
farm and country data,
foreign ownership and
dealing with local con-
cerns were among the
major topics of
discussion.
The discussion was
started with Tony
McQuail, head of
program and education
committee, throwing
ideas out to the members
for discussion in groups.
Louise Marriott,
federation member and
co-ordinator for the Rural
Developmental Outreach
Program gave a brief
history of the Federation.
The big problem many
found was with members
getting old ones out to
meetings and enlisting
and signing up new
members is a problem.
Many members felt they
needed more information
before going out to sell
memberships,, but others
disagreed. Mason Bailey
found that being sincere
sold a lot . more than
statistics.
Jim McIntosh
suggested that members
watch for new farmers
moving into the area.
Suggestions varied frorri
annual dances, as a
'reward fbr a year of
effort for members, to
showing films available
free from the libraries to
spark interest in mem-
bers at the township
level.
Workshops and kitchen
meetings for county lines.
were emphasized and
members from north
Huron agreed that the
kitchen meetings got
interest going on their
secondary planning
committees in Turnberry
township.
On the subject of
foreign ownership,
members were told that
