MANITOBA PROBLEMS

Manitoba is currently embroiled in its own organizational problems. A JOIIIL committee from the 31.838- member MI-'lt and the Manitoba I-edcration of Agriculture and Co- Operaiioii, which claims a 45,000 farm-family membership. is talking amalgamation.

John L. Canart. chairman of the MFU sub-committee. said that while substantial agreement its been reached within the Joint com- mittee on nearly all issues, "some matters remain to be resolved."

Heading the list of unsolved is- sues is the makeup of the board of rlirectors of the organization. tentatively called the Organized Farmers of Manitoba.

DELI-ZGAl'I-I FROM EACH

Mr. Canart said it is proposed that the board include one dii.-c.o. from each of three farmer-owned and controlled co-operative mark- eting organizations-the United Grain Growers Lid,, Manitoba, pool Elevators. Manitoba Dairy and Poultry Co-Operative Ltd.

Observers see this problem iiig: How can a grassroot group like the MFU team up
