ORONO WEEKLY TIMES, THUR$DAY, APRIL lst, 1965 r ' ciut of the Ontario Federation- ý5Ariculture Youth Committee Swhich l'mn a representative) ch following was conciuded: Quote:-First of ail, it has been Yinted out that the close re- ltionship betwecn fhe OFA and the Ontario Junior Farmers be- anto deteriorate aftcr the .,PA Anual Meeting was moved« -iorýward to November rather than hnuary wben the Ontario, Junior Farmers hold their January con- irnc.Their -annual meetings iere formerly held at the same ime and in the same hotel and te president of the Junior Far- ,,Ters was the guest, of fhe OFA rthe memnbers banquet. This committee recommends that the presideuf, or a proxy for ffe president, of the Onfario Juanior Farmers be invited f0 'ttend the OEA annual conven- Ion and be introduced as a ;peial guest at the banquet and tegiven the opportuni1cy 'f ad- dress the convention. We also suiggst that inemibers of the Juanior Farmers might appear on -rome of o'ur panel discussions if topies couid be chosen that were of inferest to them. Also, fhe OEA should, consider paying out 'of pocket expenses of any Juniors particinating in our convenfion -rogramme. A possible theme Ïor an OEA convention could eentre aro-und youfh and their 'i oie in farm organizations. The ýcommittee feels there is -eed for a broader pragramme that could reach miore young people at ftheir 'local club level. Many of their monthlly programs ~deal with some phase or.another of the production oif a produet. Firsf of ail, a meeting topie is ,elecfed and quite off en a speak- er is soughf. Here is where the OEA and ifs member bodies might offer assistance wifh mark- eting as a tDpie. Should this pro- gramme be undertaken, the In- formation Department would draft a brochure listing fhe vani- ous fopics available. These pam- phlets would then be distributed fo ail local Junior Farmer- and 4-H clubs through fhe Onfario Junior Farmer Association office /1 J' MAAPOO~f'IId /FygWANTYOS~TT/~~~ 00W4' 0241/C/I ~/2L or county federation offices. If the-yýoung people make use of this programme and finýd it ac- ceptable, it should pay handsome dividends to organized agriculture at the tîme of any future plebi- cite. That is fthe report from OFA Youth Committee, with a lot to consider. But a dloser fie to the Feýderation wili have f0 be more than jusf dollars. Durham County Junior Farm- ers have started for the first fime an inter column media befween our four surrounding counfies, Ontario, Victoria, Peterboro and Northumberland.
