Bringing Canadian Christmas to Sunny Hawaii el i --Central Press Canadian Crew of the tribal destroyer H.M.C.S. Nootka will bring Canadian atmosphere to snowless Hawaii, where the ship's crew and officers will spend Christmas. Seamen carry Christmas trees aboard, complements of Mayor S. Kinley of Halifax to the mayor of Pearl Harbor. Nootka left Halifax for duty in Korean waters. Left to right in the picture are: N.S; OS Reg Garland, Woodstock, "Butch" Butchart, D.S.M., Halifax; Farmers have a- machine to build economic stability for their industry, if they will only 'use it, declared Vivian Milburn, secre- tary of the Ontario Federation of Agriculture, addressing the an nual meeting of Halton County Federation in the Town Hall, Milton. Because they have that machine, the speaker pointed out, they must know how to use it wisely. Meetings such as this help farm people to guide and develop their thinking and to re- dedicate themselves to a job that needs to be done. "We need to know how to live that we may continue to live in freedom," said Mr. Milburn. Mr. Milburn gave a resume of the year's activities, remarking there had been a good deal of fear and uncertainty when it be- came evident that our export markets were in danger. The Gov- ernment had warned that farm prices must be reduced, while nothing was said about reducing prices of other commodities. The Provincial Marketing Act had proved inadequate, and the Fed- eration = is working for better marketing legislation and hopes for an amended Act. The speak- er pointed out that Government policies today are being establish- ed by pressure groups. If agricul ture is to have its fair share, it will have to develop well-infor- med, loyal, strong pressure groups. Mr. Milburn declared that if the Federation is to do a job it must be adequately financed. The officers for the ensuing year are as follows: Past presi- dent, Paul Fisher; president, M. J. Brown; 1st. Vice-president, A. R. Service; 2nd. Vice, Clarence Ford; 3rd. Vice, Vernon MacAr- thur; 4th Vice, Bert Davidson; Sec.Treas, R. S. Heatherington; Auditors, W. J. Robertson, Wm. Hume; Delegates to annual O.F. A, Ivan Richardson, M. J. Brown, Fred Near. The chairman of the meeting, Paul Fisher, whose resignation came after ten years of loyal ser- vice to the organization, quoted in his opening remarks from the words! of a labor leader who had stated farmers do mot collect enough money to finance an ef- fective organization, nor do they give enough study to or accumu- late sufficient data on their pro- blems. The Secretary's and Treasur- er's reports were presented by R. S. Heatherington, who traced the history of the Federations ten years through its development of Hog Producers, Beef Producers, Co-operative Hospitalization and Insurance, the placing of the "Rural Co-operator" in every farm home, the sponsoring of a Nation- al Film Board circuit, and the provision of a fieldman, and other activities, The Wheat Producers Committee, Poultry Producers, and Assessment and Taxation Committee are now working to improve «conditions for the people affected. The Federation had sav- ed Halton county producers some $43,000 through the efforts of the Wheat committee. The Medical and Insurance Co-ops had return- ed funds to the people to the amount of at least $150 above the cost of the fieldman's salary. If it hadn't been for the efforts of the Federation, there would not have been a floor price under hogs at $42.50, on eggs at 38c, or on but- ter at 58c. In commenting on the work of the fleliman, Mr. Fisher expressed appreciation of Mr. Heatherington's services and pointed out that the counties that do not employ a fieldman are the counties where Federation work has not made much progress. J. B. Whitelock also addressed the gathering, speaking strongly in favour of Workmen's Compen- sation for farm owners and farm workers. Mr. Karl Parr, manager of Milton District Co-operative, told the meeting that the Co-op. Is a part of the Federation.
