In a recent interview he explained Why the Uggen tired the race and he Dis cussed the Over All situation. The ugg impression he said was that the election was intended As an Opportunity for Farmers to elect fellow farm ers. The ugg decided to stay out of the race but to w atch the situation. Then earlier this year it be came evident that other organizations had the officials would be nominated for the committee he said. Pressure came from ugg members for the company to enter the fray. It was decided to Field at company candidate. Or. Runciman who owns a farm entered the race. It s a strange situation be cause we did it and because ugg farm members Felt the need for representation. Yet he still finds that the committee should be Strong support for the View made up of Farmers elected by Farmers. Our people s View is a Little bit different from he said.

The meeting sponsored by the school s Home and school association will be held at 500 Shaftsbury Boulevard Tuxedo. The main topic will concern the integration of deaf children in regular classrooms. As a result even if or. Run Ciman had stayed out of the election the farm Public prob ably would t have accepted that the ugg had stayed out he said. However considering the relatively Broad slate of candidates running in each of the 11 election districts one per son is to be elected from each Farmers can turn thumbs Down on wheat Pool and other Grain and farm organization Candi dates and elect a purely Farmer committee. Or. Runciman said one Mes Sage the ugg is trying to spread among Farmers is that you still have control of who sits around that committee if a majority of organization officials were to be elected in april he said it would be defeating the intended purpose of the election if a wheat Pool National Farmers Union dominated committee is elected or. Run Ciman said there would be a great Many unhappy Farmers feeling that there was in deed a sort of philosophical Block on that advisory commit tee and feeling that to the extent the committee can exert influence either on govern ment or on the wheat Board that you would have strength ening of the controlled Market ing Board i m inclined to believe a blending of the two Farmers and organization officials might produce the Best re Many of the officials on the current government appointed advisory committee to the wheat Board have a Broad Range of experience. But he said there also Are capable knowledgeable people running for the new committee. Don t discount what the local elected Farmer representative might be Able to do. I have no fear about a Green committee being unable to do the it could Settle in quickly and do Well. One possible shortcoming of such a committee he said is the Lack of a pipeline to feed information Back to the Broad spectrum of Prairie Grain producers. But what bothers the minds of most Farmers most is the fact that particularly regarding the representatives of the Grain organizations that they have a vested interest. If a question came up where it was the interest of that elevator company or the Best interest of the Farmer quite conceivably the decision would go in favor of the Best interest of the ele Vator company. Or. Runciman who is on the existing advisory committee said he had t been faced with such a queston but that such a situation could arise. This is what lurks in the minds of Farmers. Do the Grain company officials particularly or even the farm organization people for that matter always reflect the Farmer viewpoint or do they tend to reflect organization viewpoint i think it s a perfectly valid b u t Here again perhaps there s a place for a blend on the committee the first time around he said. Or. Runciman said the advisory committee does t have anything to do with the wheat Board s Selling function. That responsibility rests with the Board and thus it is free to accept or reject the committee s advice. Prairie Grain producers will vote april 4 to 21 in a mail in election.
