NORTHUMBERLAND FEDERATION OF AGRICULTURE MEETING Publicity Officers should act Information and Public Relations Officers b«tldes press work according to a report given by Shirley Johnston at the monthly meeting of Northumberland Federation of Agriculture held at the Johnston's, Grafton, 25th. Until recently, provincial pro-ams planned under ARDA had been under the jurisdiction of the Department of Lands and Forests but strong representations by the Ontario Federation of Agriculture hich has whole-heartedly endorsed the ARDA program, may been responsible for this change in policy. An OFA committee under the chairmanship of •president, A. H. K. Mus-grave recently discussed the role of the federation in the ARDA program with the minister and his deputy. Great emphasis is placed on the importance of local committees of people from rural communities who realize the needs farm people in developing ARDA projects. Recent top level changes in the Ontario Department of Agriculture reflect the continued emphasis by the government on farm marketing. This swing from production to marketing was first noticed under former Agriculture Minister Goodfellow with the appointment of Everett M. Biggs as Director of Marketing. Mr. Biggs is now Deputy Minister under Honourable Wm. A. Stewart who assumed the agriculture portfolio the new cabinet formed by DEER HITS LOCAL CAR ON HIGHWAY 401 A deer which ran out from the north side of Highway 401 survived for the open hunting season in the counties on November 5, 6 and 7, after it leaped against the rear of a car on Sunday evening.

However, no report -- even an interim one -- is available as yet. Nor is there any indication that the provincial government is considering bringing in any kind of legislation regardless of the committee's findings.
