With this tournament being

year, it should be recognized

Federation Angry
AtCounty Counciil
Directors of the Huron County
Federation of Agriculture react-
ed bitterly Thursday night to the
news that Huron County Council
had refused to support a resolut-
ion from Perth County calling for
legislation to stop the importat-
ion of "cheap beef" from Austral-
ia and New Zealand.
But it wasn't so much the
failure to approve the resolution
that had the members of the
farm group angry, but the re-
marks made by some councillors
in turning the resolution down,
Heaviest criticism came to a
remark by William Elston, reeve
of Morris Township who claimed
importing and exporting was a
two- way street.. He was quoted
in newspaper accounts of the
council session as saying 40 per
cent of the hogs produced in Can-
ada were exported.
Jack Stafford, president of the
Federation said he had seen the
quote in the paper and hoped it
was a misprint. He said the
figure should have been more
like four per cent. Other speak-
ers were equally appalled by the
figure and the implications they
felt it would have on the general
public. (Figures supplied by the
Department of Agriculture and
Food show about 500, 000 hogs of
the total number of 10 million
hogs produced in the country are
exported, approximately five
per cent).
Members were also incensed
over the remark of Tuckersmith
reeve Elgin Thompson who had
said, "we've neverl ad it so
good."
"Do both of these gentlemen's
wives work?" wondered vice-
president Mason Bailey.
