Mr. Lavern Morley, Middlesex, guest speaker took as his subject "Protect the Family 'Farm". He deplored the fact that farmers leave the burden of looking after their business to -offic- ials. They do nodt take enough per- sonal interest in their own organiza- tions, The position of Agriculture is deteriating at a rapid arte. Vertical intregation is taking over, forcing smaller farmers off the farm. The only possible hope for the fam- ily type farmer to survive is to sup- port his own farm union. He deplor- ed the fact that too many farmers do not do their own thinking/--they be- lieve anything they read -- Farmers to-day need a strong programme with full parity prices-on all farm commo- dities paid in deficiency payments. But there must be a ceiling on the amount paid out to individual farmers. He also stated that unemployment could be traced directly to lack of buy- ing of farmers. Also farm people are taking jobs from urban labour |and more farmers: would be taking part time or full time jobs elsewhere if more jobs were available, The Farmers Union presented their Annual Brief to the Frost Government and then to the Opposition Party on Wednesday with -some 70-76 Farm Union directors present.

The Head won the banner again, As Mr. Macdonald was unable to come he promised to be at the Centre in March. 'We must therefore make an effort to show our appreciation by attending. Our faithful president also needs our moral support. Anyway, the evening under discus- sion was well spent. Bulletins from the Home and School Association were brought to our attention. Many ex- [cerpts were read and discussed. One recent controversial article was the benefits derived from the Association itself, We were reminded of tne present Education Week wherein we may hear special broadsasts over CJBC, 4:00- 4:10 pan It may bie interesting to note some of the basic differences in other coun- tries. In the U.S.S.R. the aim 1s to acquire knowledge consistently, in or- der to be of service to one's country. QUALITY is stressed. In the United States, universal edu- cation has been the goal resulting in quantity, a lowering of standards. In Canada, there seems $0 be a lack of concern about the world in which we live. The more confused we become the greater our tendency to return to the past. We should clarify our goals, purposes and objectives in education. In" US.S.R. one_out of every four is studying something. They have one curricitlum with the emphasis 6n mem- ory work. Schooling in general is for 10 years with a six day week and hours the same as ours. Vast sums of money are spent on education and the educated receive the rewards of the best jobs and salaries. If a pupil fails for 2 years he is sent to a different kind of school. There is tremendous pressure on students to secure an education and parents organization is compulsory. Sunday morning the Head Church agaln opened its doors and snowbound entrance to the faithful Sunday School on Tuesday night. officers and scholars, Though our numbers are small we are a determin. ed lot, Occasionally we become dis. couraged as attendance drops from various reasons, residents move out, some can serve better in other centiés, some prefer other surroundings and atmosphere, some are plainly indiffer- ent, As we study our lesson God's love and Man's Refusal to-accept his duty and opportynitiés through pure neglect, we considered what it could do to our little white church on the hill as we approach its centennial, We are made to realize this church has been handed down to us as a trust from its former pioneers.

"Introducing Belgium" portrayed its customs and industries; Views of the United Nations at work and glimpses of the island in its protectorate, River Watch, which shows navigation along the East Coast and its aid to almost inaccessible places "Wings to Haiti" was a flight to a colorful island in the West Indies, showing the beautiful flowers and customs.

Switzer of Haliburton has been spending the winter at the home of her sister Mrs, Earl Heayn, Irene Carter was a busy girl on Wed. night when she found herself as chief counsellor with the H.C proup at Pros- pect. As we look north to the other end of the island we find there are some more honoured gentlemen who have attained a respected age: Mr. Jim Crozier could have been a boyhood friend of Mr. T. Redman, as their ages are so close. Then we also remember Mr, Charles Pogue and Mr. Jonathan Aldred. It just goes to show what a healthy spot the island must be.
