TORONTO--A request for a farm machinery act for Ontario was one of the important motions to be passed at the 25th annual 'conven- tion of the Ontario Federation of Agriculture in Toronto on Novem- ber 6, 7 and 8. If such an act is developed by the provincial government it will be the fourth farm machinery act in Canada. Alberta, Saskatche- wan and Manitoba already have farm machinery acts. The difficulty many farmers have had. recently in Ontario of getting spare parts, even at main distributing centres, prompted OFA delegates to make their move. The last session of the conven- tion on November 8, was a race against time in order to get through the gigantic task of delib- erating on more than 60 resolu- tions. As it turned out, a number had to be referred to future mem- bers meetings, but 49 resolutions did -receive the serious attention of the representatives from farm organizations throughout Ontario. One of the most far-reaching resolutions to be passed dealt with rehabilitation and resource de- velopment, a direct reference to Bill C77 (An Agricultural Rehabili-i---- tation and Development Acty in- troduced by Hon.

One, dealing with direct members, stirred: dele- gates to an hour-long. debate be- fore it was referred to the OFA Board of Governors. The second asked the Federation of Agriculture to take steps to bring agriculture im Canada under one united and strong organization to speak with one voice, and further requested all fanm organizations and com- modity groups to work to this end. This 25th annual convention was an historic one for the OFA in that it marked a silver anniversary of service to farmers. in Ontario. Its achievements in the field of legis- lative gains, rural leadership, and uniting the farm voice are signifi- cant. It has maintained non-politi- cal. and non-industrial ties through- out the years and presents an ob- jective viewpoint on all farm. prob- lems. Thursday, November 23, 1961 The Haileyburian Page 3, Hire Top Grader For Trappers Assoc. The staff of the Ontario Fur Trappers' Association has been further expanded with the recent appointment of Alex Shiefif. He is recognized as one of the top fur graders in Western Canada where he was for many years fur grader for a top fur buying company. My. Shier wit be attached to the permanent staff of the Associa- tion, and stationed at North Bay. Mr. Shieff, whose experience in fur grading and. auctioneering ranges over a period of almost 30 years, will now take on the duties of grading furs in-a near halfmil- lion dollar fur buying area. Closely following Mr. Shieff's ap- pointment to the Ontario Trappers' Association, pelts are already start- ing to. arrive for the 'first sale of the season in December. As grader and auctioneer, he will be handling furs which represent the work of some. 1,000 trappers across the province. Last year, Mr. Sheifif graded furs at all five auctions held im North Bay. Prior to his appointment. here, he was grader for one of Western Canada's largest fur sales companies. "Indications from all available information point out last. year's crop of furs have been completely absorbed," said Mr. Shieff, "and we are looking forward to a very active market this fall. "Long-haired furs, such as. fox are showing signs of recovery af-j ter many years of neglect while beaver and mink have also great- ly improved in demand," he said. Mr. Shieff pointed out that, bet- ter quality pelts combined' with better manufacturing process have played a major role in the up- surge in the fur industry. The establishment of the Ontar- lo Trappers' Association has great- ly aided this cause," said Mr. Shieff, "in that, trappers from all over the province have become ed- ucated to the fact that not only are good furs essential. but good pro- cessing of the pelts."
