The Women's Institute met in the church basement on Thurs- day, March 7th, with a very good attendance. The president, Mrs. E. H. Cole was in the chair and opened the meeting with a short sing-song. The opening Ode and Lord's Prayer followed. Duming the business period letters froru boys and girls of the foi ces and also froru sick and "shut-in" folk were read. Arrangements were muade for the play "Aunt Minnie From Minneouta," to be given by the Biackstock people on Mamch lath. A discussion on how to spend money to improve our park took place and it was decid- ed that we have the hydro in- stalled in the bungalow and booth. It was decided aiso to con- tinue light refreshments at the close o! our meetings. The sum Mf $5 was voted toward the Prin- cess Alice Fund. Mrs. Lorenzo Truil presided for the program in charge o! the west group. "Oid Folks at Home" was used as an opening selection. Mr. Kitson of the "Locker Systeru" Bowman- ville, was the guest speaker for the atternoon and thanked the ladies for the privilege o! speak- ing to them, and gave us much valuable information on the pro- cess o! the !reezing o! the var- ious foods before being placed in the iocker, and pointed 'out the difference in the quick freezing and the common coid storage sys- tem. Meat, he said, was the most extensive food stored. Mrs. Kit- son was present and assisted him and they had brought along a !ew samples o! food which had been stored, including vegetables and aspberries. This muade an in- teresting discussion. Mrs. M. Mountjoy !avored with a piano solo. An expression o! thanks was given Mr. Kitson for coming and assisting in the meeting, a!- ter which the National Anthem closed the meeting. The group in charge served dainty refresh- ments and a social hall hour was spent. Toronto, Ontario Farm Forums' NO. 4 -WEST FORUM No. 4 West Farm Forum met at L. J. Courtice's, March 4th. Dis- cussion was on how to increase our export markets. () Increasing our imports would thereby provide other countries with the means of buying our goods, and thus increase the vol- ume o! our exports. (b) From the viewpoint of ex- port trade it seems unwise to try to produce goods that can be produced much cheaper else- where e.g. to try to export but- ter which can be produced much more cheaply in New Zealand. For export market we should specialize in goods we can pro- duce most economically. Inter- national trade agreements seem to be the best means o! increasing our export markets and main- taining a continuous demand. Bet- ter methods o! production, pro- cessing and distribution are a must, to maintain supply econ- omically. Subsidies and tariffs should be used only in special cases and only as temporary mea- sures. Education in nutrition in ail countries would help to in- crease demand for .foodstuffs in other countries. Number present il. No. 4 West Farm Forum met this March il at H. Muir's. To- pic for discussion "Who Will Ex- port Our Farm Products?" Gen- eral opinion favored government boards because private agencies were concerned mainly with mak- ing profits for themselves with lit- tie thought for the farmers. People seem satisfied with the operation of government boards in wartime. We think the Feder- ation of Agriculture should rec- ommend a certain number of members o! the board. These boards should co-operate with the F.A.O. of the United Nations. We do not favor a combination of government and private agencies. Co-operative handling of pro- ducts might easily remedy exist- ing difficulties, for it seems that as soon as a co-operative enters the picture the overall price im- proves, for example the "Cana- dian Wool Growers." Number present 14. PARLOR ORGAN One doesn't see them anymore. Apparently the old-fashioned par- lor organ has gone to join man- kind's other outmoded accoutre- ments. But a generation ago the parlor organ was a treasured part o! the family life. On a cold and stormy winter's night or on a Sunday evening, Mother would sit at the organ and play ail the old favorite songs. It wasn't great music, but it was good music. As the family sang the beloved folk songs, carols, and hymns, ail the world seemed saf e and secure. Mother would manipulate the stops to fit the with fascinating names: Dulciana, with fascinating names: Dulciane, Vox Jubilante, Salicional, Vox Celeste, Flute D'Amour, Trumpet, and Aeolienne. A "sinfi" was an eagerly wel- comed joy in those days. Some- times the neighbors would come in and then there would be good four-part harmony. Plain, un- pretentious recreation, yes, but the solid stuif on which many boys and girls were raised before they le! t home to try their wings in the outside world.-St. Louis Star-Times. Wlîat a Strike Costs Until the General Motors strike ends, it will not be possible to es- timate what it will cost the Un- ited States in Cash; even then, it costing individual workers. A clearer realization can be gained from the case of Mr. Elmer Essig, o! La Grange, Illinois, as reported in The Chicago Daily News. Just before the strike began, Mr. Essig had bought a car. Wtien the walk-out took place, he sold it for $1,125. When the strike was 101 days old, Mr. Essig had only $26 left. It has cost him a dollar a day to keep his oldest boy in high school; his wife has been ill ever since their youngest child was born four months ago. The strike has cost Mr. Essig his car, the money he obtained from the sale of it-and he was unable to make the payment due on his house this month. The strike that cost Mr. Essig so dearly has remained unsettled because of a difference of one or two cents an hour. It will take him a long time to recoup his losses from that difference in pay. -Kingston Whig-Standard. Soldiers trained to fight may fight for the wrong thing when they come home, unless they find us fighting for the right one. We're thinking about laws to control strikes-laws to control employment. What about a love to control people? Standing in the other fellow's shoes won't help him if you your- self are off on the wrong foot. Plan Detter Drainage for Park New Members Added to Lists When submitting the latest fin- ancial statement o! Bowmanville Memorial Park, the secretary, Norman J. Scott, gave out infor- mation o! the work and plans pre- sentiy carried on which will, giv- en a f air break, find the park in excellent condition for the sum- mer season. Funds have been used wiseiy and economicaiiy and with much of the work having been done by voluntary labor, the progress achieved has been all that could be desired. Mr. Scott told that the reason that water now covers a portion o! the grounds is due to the amount o! earth thrown up by contractors laying mains aiong Li- berty St. As soon as filîs are made the Park Committee plans a drainage system, using what are cailed "weeping tiles" in a way that will guarantee dryness in the park at ail times. This system embraces installa- tion o! a complete absorption bed by means o! a tule system sur- rounded with crushed stone or similar product o! absorption qualities. Technicai advice on this has been received from com- munities where it has been prov. ed effective. Main worries were- over wheu the town arranged for a 16" outlet into the main sewer and provided for three or four manholes to connect up with.
