Milîson, a business graduate from the Un- iversity o! Toronto, had am- ple opportunity to study the workings o! the Federation. Does Good Job "Saine farmers don't realize what the Federation is and what it can do for them. It is set up to do an effective job. It's organized well enough now to foster more marketing plans to help farmers gain greater control of their products and ensure better returns." To achieve its objectives, the Federation needs the Àrhole hearted support of farmers, he said. Mr-. Milîson bas bee n close to the fanm scene most cf his life. fis grandfather and father were farmers in Durham and his brother is a farmer. He him- self has a smallish tree farmn from which he extracts between 2,000 and 3,000 first-rate Christ- mas trees every year. And bis wife, Olive, is a farm girl. Long Heurs Mi-. Millson said he enjoyed his work for the Federation despite the many nights and weekends he puts in after do- ing his regular work in the clerk's office.
