FORUMS REPORT
FROM HURON COUNTY
The following is a summary of the
findings sent to the. Ontario Farni
Radio Forum office following the
broadcast, Jan. 13. The subject of
the meeting was "What should the
World Federation Do'?" The office
will appreciate any publicity you can
give to this article.
Twenty-nine Forums reported from
Huron County.
"The subject for discussion is too
remote from what farmers feel is
within their realm of effective action.
The discussion of the problems of
an international organization (IFAP
formed for the purpose of advisin
an advisory organization (FAO
which has no power to do anything
except make suggestions to govern-
ments is not particularly interesting
to the ordinary farmer." So spoke
South Williamsford Farm Forum in
Grey County on Jan. 13. With this
sentiment a goodly'nunvber of Forums
agreed, Yet even though the average
Forum didn't find the topic an - ex-
citing ono they did giveitmost care-
ful ,attention. Some 85 per cent of
the groups requested more informa-
tion on 1191APP. This information
should come through the radio, the
farm press, speakers at Forum meet-
ings, phamphiets• The noon hour
farm broadcast and "The Craigs"
have already brought news of the
International Federation to many
rural people, it's reported.
The findings testify that rural
people have already considerable
koowiedge of the world organization,
even the rather negative statement
quoted above indicates this, • Most of
their knowledge came through broad-
casts and farm' journals.
"How could the individual farmer.
help the Canadian Federation finance
its share of the cost of International
organization.?" Replies to this ques-
tion indicate rural people have more
than a mere passing interest in the
International Federation of A.grieul-
taral producers, No one feels the
burden of taxes, levies and assess
-
meats more than ruralpeople, yet
over 90 per cent of Ontario's Forums
replied to this question in a manner
indicating they are willing to bear
the -cost of belonging " to the Inter-
national Organization, Whitting in
Dtvfferin gives a typical reply, "The
fanners of this county are paying to
the •CFA through a levy in taxes,
this is the fairest way for everyone."
Should Canadian agricultural pol-
icy in the future talcs into considera-
tion the recommendations of IFAP?
Here again Forums are behind the
world organisation. .Ehuvale in ,Sim-
coe say this, "we think if everyone
fell in line and make it a world wide,
organization it would be much .better.
for every farmer and ;town and city
people would also benefit."
g
The Clydesdales, three` of them
rising three years and one rising
four, will be placed for service at
Experimental Fawns at ` which there
are groups of good, pure-bred,
Clydesdale mares sired by stallions
imported by the Department in 1934
and 1939. They will also be available
for mating with pure-bred mares
owned by breeders in the provinces
where they will be located
Of the six Thoroughbred stallions,
all purchased in England, two are
twoayear-olds bred in Ireland and
brought there as yearlings by English
buyers, one is a three-year-old, one a
four-year-old, one a six-year-old and
one a ten -year-old,
Fine Films to be Shown
In County Before Feb; 6
The following National Film Board
films will be shown in Huron County,
starting January 14, anti continuing
thrangh until February 6:
Canada's • New Citizenship Act,
which enables us ,to call 'ourselves
`Canadian citizens' for the fust time,
has macre most of us do some think-
ing about just what Citizenship
means. What responsibility have we
for the way other countries regard
Canada. Who is to blame if racial
and religious prejudice are found
here? How can the average Canadian
contribute to his country's industrial
development •and farming prosperity?
The flims on .Program I' have been
especially chosen to suggest a few
answers to these questions. "Every -
man's World," the featured film, ex-
plains .the importance of •each citizen
playing an active pant in choosing
the statesmen who will represent
Canada among the United' Nations.
"The House S Live In" drives home
the need for everyone to take a eortx'-
ageaus stand against all kinds of
prejudice or discrimination if our
nation is to be really( united. "Power
From Shipshaw" shows us citizens•
contributing to build Canada's incl
dustrial might. in "010 MacDonald
Had A Farm" we •see some of . the
methods by which fanners can main-
tain the high prodcsction standard
which has won Canada the gratitude
of millions whose own countries can-
not produce enough food.
Be sure to see these splendid films
and bring along your neighbours: to
boost the -attendance, which is neves-
sexy, if we are to continue to enjoy
these educational and entertaining
showings, advises W V. Roy, Londes-
bm c, secretary, Enron County Ped -
enation of. Agriculture. Eight Mind-
ed feet of film taken at , Huron
