Ontario Federation Confirms Support
For Producer -Controlled Marketing
Members of the Ontario Federa-
tion of Agriculture in a meeting at
"Toronto recently, slashed at rum-
ours of non-support by the OFA
of farm marketing agencies and
boards by reaffirming OFA policy
-on producer -controlled farm mar-

stand should be made clear, partic-
ularly in view of the proposed
royal commission to be set up by

the Ontario government to inquire
into farm marketing legislation
and farm marketing board opera-
tions in Ontario.
The result was a resolution re-
affirming the policy of the OFA
to suport and endorse all the pow-
ers under the Ontario Farm Pro-
ducts Marketing Act. And further,
as the parent farm organization
in the province for commodity
groups, the OFA will fight to the
end for the right for producer
marketing groups to set up mark-
eting plans and administer them
as set out by the Act. Members
asserted that it is the policy of
the OFA to not interefere with
the administration of any farm
marketing agency or board, on the
assumption that the powers are
given to the producer boards and
not to the OFA. This policy has
been misinterpreted on occasion
which has let to the rumours of
non-support. However, the OFA
maintains that it will help any
member group to obtain the pow-
ers under the Act, but because it
(the OFA) does not control nor
sell any product, it 'will not pass
judgment on the methods of ad-
ministration of any member com-
modity group's marketing plans.
Members also approved a plan
to set up a rural safe driving cam-
paign in April, and to promote a
rural safe driving week for April
5 to 11. Reports were given on
other phases of federation and
commodity group work including a
progress report on the marketing
plan for commercial corn growers

Modern Etiquette
Q. What expenditures does the
best man have for the wedding?
A. Only the expense of a gift
to the bridal couple and the clo-
thes' he wears for the wedding.
His principal duties are to stay
with the groom most of the day
and see that he gets to the church
on time. He also takes care of
the bride's ring and the clergy-
man's fee, which the groom gives
to him in anenvelope and which
he gives to the clergyman im-
mediately' following the ceremony.
Q. When a 'hostess is serving
cocktails • and knows' that one or
two of her guests do not care
for them, what, should she do?
A. She should be prepared in
advance for any such eventualities,
and serve these guests some soft
drinks.
Q. When two men and two girls
are eating together in a public
place, at a small table, hots should
they be seated?
A. The girls should be seated
opposite each other.
Q: How may a woman know wh-
ether or not to offer her hand to
a man when being introduced?
A. There is no rule for this,
It is altogether optional with the
woman. She can remember, how-
ever, that the proffered hand is
her way of showing sincere and
genuine pleasure over the meeting.
in the province. Yesterday the
OFA Board of Governors met with
the agricultural committee of the
House of Commons to place before
it some of the requests made by
the OFA to cabinet just before
Christmas. In speaking for the
federation, president Gordon Greer
called for the establishment of an
agricultural development bank as
Means to provide credit facilities
to the provinces farm marketing
boards and co-operatives. He men-
tioned that the provincial govern-
ment could take a leading role
in this by setting up a pilot pro-
ject for Ontario farmers, which
could eventually grow into a fed-
eral project.
A discussion on increased effi-
ciency of farm operations centred
around the milk industry in part-
icular when Mr. Greer cited bulk
milk coolers on the farm as an
example of farmers not benefiting
from increased efficiency. "The
population of farmers has dropped
drastically in the past few years,"
said Mr. Greer, "but those still
farming in the country are pro-
ducing more food than ever. The
farmer increases his efficiency ev-
ery way he can, but the benefits
always seem to go to other phases
of the food industry. In the case
of bulk milk coolers, the farmers
have a high cash outlay when they
buy a milk cooler, but they do not
get any more money for their milk
when they must sell it. They do
not even get interest on their in-
vestment in the cooler."
Mr. Greer thanked the govern-
ment for its efforts to study and
promote farm safety as evidenced
in the conference held a Guelph
recently.
TRUCK LOSES WHEEL
(Clinton News -Record)
Fred Chappel escaped injury on
Tuesday night, though his car was
seriously damaged by a runaway
wheel from a semi -trailer truck.
Mr. Chappel was proceeding south
of Brucefield to his home at Kip -
pen, when the wheel "came at
him". It struck the left front
of the car, denting the fender.
smashing the light, damaging the
radiator.
The truck, owned by Ken Pas-
coe, Parkhill, continued on to a
stop just in front of T. A. Dut-
ton's store, where the driver re-
alized something was wrong. The
wheel was later found on the front
lawn of the parsonage, occupied
by the Rev. S. Davison.
The 22 cattle in the truck were
being taken to the barn of Roy
Scotchmer, Varna. Melvin Webster
was called to remove the animals
and take them on to that village.
No dal nage was reported to them.
Expropriation Seems More Popular
In Rural Area Than in Town.
(By J. Carl
From recent news articles I
have learned that the Post Office
Department needs to enlarge its
office in Clinton. Apparently this
could be most economically and
conveniently done by adding an
addition to the back.
This property is owned and occ-
upied by a service station ' belong-
ing to a large oil company. It has
been stated that this land is not
for sale and that seems to end the
discussion.
Has the Post Office Department
not heard of the right of "eminent
domain"? If they haven't they • are
a long way behind' Hydro'and-high-
way departments or gas or tele-
phone compainies.
When our forefathers wrested
this land from bush at the rate
of a few acres per year they had
visions of owning a property they
would be proud to hand over to a
long line of descendants for time
to come. Finallythey received
their deed from the Crown, giving
them all rights to the land subject
to the right of "eminent domain".
That is the Crown very gener-
ously, with one hand, gave a chunk
of ground covered with bush and
with the other retained the right
to take it back, at any future date,
regardless of the transformation
you have worked over many years.
By right of "eminent domain"
your property, which you say you
own, could "for convenience and
necessity" be expropriated by the
government and be handed over to
any public utility or private com-
pany. or, perish the thought, to any
party "heeler" without any obli-
gation to compensate.
Hydro and highways apparently
have a blanket right to exprop-
riate. Notice need not be given
to the land owner. Telephone and
pipelines are required to give two
weeks notice.
This is done by Hydro and high-
ways when they wish to cross farm
Hemingway)
land. Why then is the Post Office
Department unable to proceed in
the same manner in the' case of the
service station? Could it be that
expropriation isn't popular when
the victim is a large oil company
rather than an individual farmer?
