Gives Report At 3-0-F-A Meeting "~The South Ontario Federation of Agriculture met last month at the home of John Hamer of Myrtle, the newly appointed, secretary. Discussion of the financial report -hrought--about-the feeling -that--too- many. farniers are ignorant of the great effort put forth to aid and im- prove the well-being of agriculture. Too many farmers are refusing to share the cost of the benefits already received. - An individual, laborer pays more a_month to his union than a farmer is asked to pay in a year to his 'Federation of Agriculture. All farmers benefit when the OFA starts an action as was only too well proven last month in our Ontario govern- ment, so why do they not support their organization with funds and ap- preciation. Various committees were delegated -to approach the township councils which were not paying their share and this press report asks the co-operation of all engaged in agricul ture. they be sent to all absent directors. The monthly publication "The Co- operator" was ordered to be subserib- ed to for each director. Anson Gerrow of Scugog Island re- ported on his attendance at a direct- or's meeting in Toronto. Discussion took place as -he told of. the. Edible Oils bill .and the feeling of the meet- ing was one of great appreciation for the far-sighted and wise move made by the. members of our government. Gerrow told of Mr, Ferguson's re- port of several recommendations made concerning-the Municipal and Assess- ment acts, The Ministér of Municipal Affairs had suggested that when the act comes up for revision a. member of the Federation's Assessment com- mittee might sit in with the Depart- ment officials to consider. the poposed: changes.- Mr. Gerrow weporied. that. Mr. Black, -Manager-of the United Live- stock Sale Agency told "of satisfact- ory progress fo date in administra- tion of the new central sales ageney. Since the hog producers are pioneer-. ing in this field he said they 'could expect some problems in the beginning but generally spaking progress is be- ing made and prices have Improved to producers, A report was given concerning the handling of strikes in packing: plants. It had been suggested that agriculture generally speaking, should be declar- ed an industry in the national interest and those engaged in the handling and processing of food would sacrifice the right to strike, It was felt that this was a timely recommendation against the time that railway émployees or economy."

Dymond -in delivering 0 stimulating address to the Port Perry Lions Club at their Monday ev- ening dinner at Del Restaurant. "I do not think our public relations job is good enough for this country," said the former past-president as he spoke to his club members for the first time. "It would not be wise to let this job to a government agency Most Canadians suffer from an inferiority complex . . . it is up to you and I to tell the world of the size and greatness of this land." The speaker said that when the world and ourselves realize this we would be proud to protect what we ihave and hold dear to ourselves, A Promised Land - In his opening remarks Dr. Dymond looked back to his pre-medical days when he studied theology and recalled the Biblical passage about the laid of Canan, the promised land of niilk and honey where no oné wanted for any- thing. = "Canada is not the land of my birth,"--said the native of Scotland; "But it is the land of my adoption... and these words from the Bible quite closely describe Canada as a promised land." .. -- He pointed ont that Canada was not a promised land when John Cabot landed on the eastern shores in 1497 or when Jacques Cartier or Wolfe made their mark in history, "The true greatest of this country started in 1887 during Conféderation." He traced the steady but slow develop- ment of the country in the last half of the 19th centurySind referred to Laurier's famous statement "The 20th century belongs to Canada". With some startling facts and fig- ures the speaker told of the great pro- duction-of Canada in pulp and. paper, wheat and the development of mining: and the new discoveries of oil, Bigger Than Texas! Dr. Dymond said there were many that knew so little about our country and pointed out the ignorance of many. in facts about the country in other lands, especially in the United S0 DR. M. B. DYMOND States, He illustrated this by telling about a boastful Texan "telling a Can- ndian audience-that his home state was bigger and better than Ontario and the Dominion of Canada.
