Pill. fllflliOll. i WHEN WAS lT ORGANIZN? ln March I941 by representatives of those organizations, to ce-oislingte their efforts and to act as the provincial unit of the C.l-'.A.‘

HOW HAS IT IEEN RUN AiND FINANCED SINCE i941?

leoause of limited tineiices and troubled thnee your directors, elected annually, worked with sincerity and perse- veranee on a voluntary basis since that time.

Finances were limited to contributions from local and provincial organizations. Those averaged about $700.00 per year. We pay $500.00 a year out of this to support the Ca- nadian Federation, so there was little left for much educa- tional work, expansion or publicity.

WHAT ARE THE FUTURE PLANS IN THOSE MATTERS?

l. To maintain a full time office and Secretary to pro- vide information and assistance to farmers with our organi- Izotionol, distribuliommaiketing and many unforeseen prob- ems.

Z. To present and keep the farmer's case and prob- lems before the consuming piblic so that each group will better understand and realize the position of the other.

3. Ta protect the interests of both producers and con- sumers from the influence and pressure of unfair business tactics.

4. To support and work with our Canadian Federation, in dealing with similar problems of National and Interna- tional scope.

WHAT CONTROL WILL EACH FARMER-MEMBER HAVE . . OVER THE FEDERATION?

He will have a voice and vote at all Federation meet- ings which will be held regularly at different centres in each county. Your annual membership card will show that you are supporting your organization and will give each an oppor- tunity of helping to direct palicy and elect directors.

HOW CAN l BECOME A MEMBER AND GET MY i949 ‘ MEMBERSHIP CARD? if you are a bona fide farmer contact your school sears-- tary and pay him your 1949 membership fee. You will late. receive your membership card direct. Don't wait for him ta contact youl

Stlll another native son. who was one of the later princlpals. al- so a pupil. ls Arthur Green, son or Mr. A. C. Green. Arthur Joined the R. C. A.

This brings the record up-to- dabe.

However, one of the former teachers ls the popular as- slstant to the past master Mrs". Waldo Matthews.
