* a 4~-~ ' ~"~¶ '. t j ta n You Figure What This Picture Shows? ;FARMERS Iý I>,Supporters of the proposed General Farm Organization in Ontario were unsuccessful in their bid ta obtain 60% of the f arm vote yesterday. The Durham County vote f ollowed the provincial pat- tern very closely, just over 42% voting ta adopt the new GFO. This has been one of the bitter- est political batties in some time with f eelings running high, and TURN sometimes violent, between GFO supporters, mainly f rom the Fed- eration of Agriculture, and oppon- ents, most of them members of the Farrners' Union. In Durham County, 692 voted for GFO and 901 were opposed, with 20 ballots spoiled. Total vote was 1614. Results of the 12 polis were (Yes - No), Hampton 134-75, Black- brnaibtan t4ea~n Pleasant 37-88, Bethany 38-79, Pan- typool 25-78, Millbrook 46-108, Eliz- abethville 31-56, Welcome 29-119, Newtonville 28-59, Orono 89-69, Agr. Office 117-42, Advance Poli 3-1. As the balance of the ballot was- conditional upon the GFO receiving the 60% required, the results now have little signif i. cance, but will be reported more VOLUME 115 20 Pages BOWMANVILLE, ONTARIO, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 2.5, 1969 --y P r oD N-J BE Courtice Corner Store 'Closed Again ..
