A great deal has come out of this conference, which was closed shortly after dinner on Sunday. Conclusions were arrived at in two days which otherwise might have taken months or years to formul- ate. The visitors took home with them final decisions which may have far-reaching effects in this field. Copies of the proceedings and results will be available to other counties of, the province. (By our Rayfield correspondent) •The Little Inn, Bayfield, was chosen for a two-day conference, sponsored by the Lambton County Co-operative Council from Friday everang, September 17-19, which may well be of tremendous im- portance not only to Lambton County but to the rural and many urban centres in Ontario as a whole. Perhaps it will some day be chronicled as an historical event. Lambton Co-operative Co-ordin- ating Council is composed of rep- resentatives of all the Co-opera- tives of that county including In- surance, Medical, Credit Unions, Storage, Farm Supply, and Mar- keting Co-ops, It was organized in the spring of this year when the need for a liaison between the various groups was felt. A few other counties have also formed councils. But this conference is the first of its kind in Ontario at which local farm organizations, on a county level, have gathered to- gether for a period of two days to attempt to bring about a great- er co-ordination of their education- al programs. Forty persons were present, In- cluding delegates from the Lamb - ton organizations of the Federa- tion of Agriculture, Farm Forums, Folk Schools, Women's Institutes, Film Council, Mutual Life Insur- ance, Junior Farmers, and the County Chapter of the Credit Un- ions. Leonard Harman, United Co- operatives of Ontario; Douglas Hughes, Co-operative Union of Ontario, Toronto, and Ray Her- gott, Federation of Agriculture, Guelph, were visitors. Ai The purpose of the conference r was to determine ways and means of developing greater co-ordination of educational activities between the farm organizations of Lambton County. Much time was spent on the need for greater educational work, and in particular amongst the new Canadian people. A pro- gram of future activities was dis- cussed. The Saturday morning session dealt with the place of the Co- operative Co-ordinating Council and the Federation of Agriculture in Lambton County. It was ad- dressed by Ray Hergott of the Ontario Federation. This session developed the particular purpose of the Council working in a co- ordinating or liaison capacity as part of the larger area of Federa- tion activity. On Saturday afternoon there were two sessions: one on Com- mercial Co-operatives, in which the problems of liaison and pro- motional activities were covered; the other concerned the same type of liaison problems as found among credit unions both in the rural area of Lambton and in the city of Sarnia. These two sessions were chaired by Lloyd Ackert and Ed O'Dell, respectively. Saturday evening all enjoyed a walk along the Bayfield harbour. This was followed by a demon- stration at The Little Inn in film presentation techniques by mein- bers of the County Film Council, assisted by Ed Hunter, Strathroy, of the National Film Board. The session on Sunday morning led by Leonard Harman on educa- tion was undoubtedly the highlight of the conference. He traced the history of the farm organization movement to the present day, when it was. possible to bring 40 Be Sure to See the Original 3 -Season Coat with Zip-in/Zip-Out Lining Now in stock in the latest styles and shades for fall. , New FALL SUITS . . . including.

They in turn were rnost'appreciative of the work, in arranging to accom- modate them,. of the proprietress, Miss Ruth E. Hayman, and her courteous staff. This, and the quiet atmosphere in the midst of the attractive surroundings of The Little Inn, contributed greatly, they felt, to the success of the conference. Most of those present had never been in Hayfield before but they left with a good impression of the village. It will now be more than a dot on the map to 40 persons from our neighbouring county.
