Churches Discuss

Labor and farm problems domi-
mated discussion conducted Satur-
day evening at a meeting of Michi-
gan Council OF Churches.
Twenty-seven representatives
from the Michigan Farm Bureau,
the Michigan FL Grafton of Teach
ers, UAW-CIO Local so, the Board
OF Commerce. the Junior Chamb Der
of Commerce, the churches. and the
Willow Run Community Council,
met in open forum under the lead
ership of Hans Schmidt. director of
the Willow Run recreational pro-
ject.
The discussion brought out the
fact that farmers were OF the opin-
ion that many Of the demands OF
labor were motivated by selfish
desires, and not consideration for
the we'll being of the community.
Labor, on the other hand charged
that farmers were not cooperating.
Discussion was rambling and gen.
eral and no definite solutions were
advocated.
Farmers we're OF the opinion that
labor with their increased income
could pay their own way" and
make the subsidy program unnec-
essary. Labor groups pointed out
that without the program, initiation
would result.
AS to the charge that farmers
were not working together, the
farm group pointed out that they
had organized community groups m

Inthly TO discuss the problems OF
their areas.

ed that continued activity in this
