Former Perth County Fedgration of Agri- ` culture president Ron Christie apologized "for the disruption and inconvenience' his abrupt resignation caused the federation. Mr, Christie of RR 2, Staffs, made the apology at the federation's annual meeting in Atwood recently. His apology came after he was presented with a plaque in recognition of his years as federation president. It was at the federation's directors meeting in May when Mr. Christie stood up and announced he would resign as president, The action was Mr. Christie's response to the Ontario Federation of Agriculture's call for the resignation of Agriculture Minister Dennis Timbrell, Finance Minister Larry Crossman and other provincial figures. At the annual meeting,' Mr. Christie said that call shattered the credibility he had for the OFA. The resignation changed his life, he said. He said he was able to spend more time on his farm this summer, Mr, Christie said he hopes there is no hard feelings between himself and other Perth federation members. At the annual meeting, first vice-president and acting chairman Dave Smith was acclaimed as president. A Sebringville'area farmer, Mr, Smith said the federation has to get the agriculture message across to school age children. He said the federation is working with the Women for the Support of Agriculture in its attempts to have agricultutie taught in Perth Coupty schools. Bill Denham, RR 1, St. Marys was named first vice-president. Paul Verkley, RR 1, Atwood was elected second vice-president. Federation of agriculture To realize its, motto of "Farmers working for Farmers," the Perth County Federation of Agriculture needs financing, says OFA executive director Brenda Ward. In order to continue information meetings, the federation needs more money, said Mrs. Ward. She made her comments at the annual meeting of the federation in Atwood, after the 1984-85 budget which includes deficit spend- ing was presented. She directed her comments to representa- 'ives of Perth County Council who were present. Mrs. ,Ward slid the federation would like a grant from county council. in the past, county council has turned down grant requests. 'Your money would not be going astray•' He defeated provincial director Wayne Hartung of RR 1, Gowanstown for the position. Township directors were named and they are as follows: Downie Township: Ken Green, Tony Van Klooster and Jim Tyler; South Easthope Township, Andy Gras, Ken Reibling and Henry Klooster; North East - hope; Ron Hyde; Blanshard Township, Cliff Thomson and Bryan Bertrand; Wallace Township, Stewart Walters and Wayne Hartung; Ellice Township, Norval Priestap, Peter Bokkers and Paull Nyenhuis; Logan Township,' Cecil Rose; Mornington Town- ship, Norman Held and David Kropf; Elma Township, Doug Pebbles, Carol Thornton and Paul Verkley; Fuilarton; Clara Keller; Hibbert Township, Ron Christie and Rudy Jansen. needs money said Mrs. Ward. Warden Glynn Coghlin suggested that the federation approach county council again. "You will have to come and sell it to all of county council," he said. The federation has budgeted expenditures of $6,850 which includes executive members' honorariums of $1,150. Honorariums have not been paid for the past several years. An income of $4,955 has been budgeted for the coming year. The largest income is from OFA rebates which have been estimated at $2,300: Township grants of $1,200 are 'expected. N. Coghlin cautioned the federation that it cannot receive grants from both the county and the townships. Six of the 11 townships in Perth gave grants to the federation this year. A federation member from Waterloo County said he was surprised that the Perth federation did not receive more in municipal grants. He said the smallest township in Waterloo gives more in a grant than all of the Perth townships combined. Wallace Township Reeve, Hans Feldmann said the federation has to remain indepen- dent and should not be asking for money. Mr. Feldmann pr ented a motion that the Perth federation .cgect an additional $5 Hi addition to the pF membership fee. The motion was turned down. "It will probably cost 54.95 to collect the $5," said Mr. Verkiey. He said the federation is not a fundraising orgahization and it will survive financially by doing without.
