A- bout 50 members and visitors from neighbouring locals were in att endance. Melbourne Morton, pýresident of, the local, was chair- ma.Guest speaker was Walter Mfiler, second vice-president of the provincial organization, chair- mnan of ýthe OF.U. marketing board, and director of the organ- ijation. The Kmpvll onference grew out of.an. earlier convention at Vineland held at ;the time the farmers were using their tractors for a highway "slowdown" dem- onstration, and while it gained at that time, from some gouirces, the label "a bunch of banana' repub- lic reactionaries the speaker said, :it did focuis attention on) the fin- anifplight of th e farmers, "ad ad emharassing- effects on peopfle in higli places for it made J1ltqite obvîous that farrners wanted increased income, not in- creased talk." Mr. Miller glanced at the MPP. for Durham, Alex Carruthers, at this' stage. As a result of this convention the Ontario government had, at a cost of $80,000, a repart prepared -by a Winnipeg firm of economic consultants -, Hedlin, Menzies and Associates. In it a more com- prehensive study of possible sol- utosto farm problems was rec- ommiiiended. and Deputy Minister ofdAgiculture Everitt Biggs an- noiunced that a half million dol- lar is availPable for this and to hLelp el;iminate poverty la rural n 'passing, Mr. Miller mention- ed ,tbat the Kemptville conferenceý took place exactly ninemots to the day, from the date of the Vineland convention- ndti is the usual period the fariner waits to see resuIts." The speaker then began, to deal mogreseifctl illte pr'obf- le3ms confron.ting-., the beef prod- ucer. A large part of this. stems from the fact that, a farmner deal- ing individually With corporate seetors of4 the food industry, par- ticularly packers, is at a trading disadvantage because he lias no control of the flow of cattie to the market, he said. Packers through internai manipulation and 'back door' buying directly from, the farmsý and feed lots or from out- side the' province are able to con- trol and depress prices. Whuhe negulatilns of interna- tional trade woukl be a matter for federal action much could he donê provincially through a marketing board'that would give cattlemen corporate status, and ties improve their bar.gaining power, the CenennalBook The United Counie!-s of North- umberland and Durham ha luve nowv. for circulation' their Centeninial publication, "Two Centurie9 of Change" which wsediited, 'by CharlesCay The boo-k represents t 'he Counl- cil's efforts as a ÇCent'ennial Pro- ject.
