Greenwood forum, located in the area west of Brooklin, is a typical example of such a group which .| has operated successfully for five years. Besides gathering together for intelligent discussion, members enjoy recreation and find through their associations together that a useful sense of unity is generated. Through the courtesy of Mrs. I. L. McLean of Greenwood, the following history of the Greenwood Forum is published and a picture of some mem- bers of the group appears in this issue, Greenwood Forum came Farm into being as the result of a unique roll call at the local Women's In- . In the summer of 1944 the ladies were asked to ans- wer the roll by completing the sen- "If we had $2 to spend for the good of our community, I would stitute meeting tence: suggest that we , . ." Naturally some ou the SE gestions . put forth were others were on out with define ite and permanent results for the betterment of the community. For example the suggestion that shrubs be purchased to beautify the school grounds, like the five barley loaves and two fishes with which Jesus fed the five thousand, multiplied by the) addition of don- ated plants, with the. result that the two local school wards were both landscaped. But, you say, what has this to do with Greenwood Farm Forum? Well, one suggestion at the WI meeting was that an open meeting for neighbours. from, three or four communities be arranged for the purpose of hearing about Farm Radio Forum. Later a very suc- cessful meeting was held with Wes- ley Neelands, then provincial sec- retary as guest speaker. From interested persons esent, Sa Forums were started that sea- son. Unfortunately the others pe- tered out after one or two seasons, : |but Greenwood Farm Forum has continued uninterrupted. FORUM PROJECTS Dusitig the years many and var- ied activities have been carried out locally through the Greenwood Forum, such as, well water-testing NOW fo BROCK EVENING SHOW AT 7 P.M.

A farm machinery course was organized by the forum three years ago. The interest shown in this series of lectures dem- onstrations pointed out to the Agri- cultural Representative the need for such courses with the result that something similar has been sponsored A the Department of Agriculture the following years at five different points throughout the County. The Forum has financially spon- sored a number of young jecpie attending th Crhtssimtr attending the Christmas short courses. Also Greenwood Forum members have actively supported the Folk Schools held for our County. In fact the 1952 School, which was held in this community was in a Forum home. The extra beds and other household equip- ment necessary for the large '"fa- mily'" were all supplied by local Forum members. Some of the For- um ladies helped in other ways to make the Folk School run smoothly. CO-OP MEDICAL SERVICES At the suggestion of Greenwood Farm Forum, during the winter and spring of '48, joint meetings of four or five Forums were held each Give Break To Lads In Gun Theft Two brothers from Ajax who stole eight guns from Huxter's Harware there last month, Russell (18), and Raymond (17) Candler, were leniently dealt with by the court yesterday when they ap- peared for sentence after plead- ing guilty, Because of their pre- vious good character, they were given suspended sentence and placed on probation for two years. They had been in custody for two weeks. Their partner in the crime, John Ward, 18, Town Line Road, was convicted of the same offence and also of having possession of offen- sive weapons -- two black jacks. He was remanded in custody one week for sentence, Crown Attorney Russell Hump- reys said the episode was caused by 'the immature workings of minds intrigued by magazine stor- ies. The sequence of events indi- cates that in their foolishness they were getting ready to commit some other type of crime." However, the Crown recommended leniency. Passing sentence, Magistrate F. S. Ebbs said: '"The Candlers have been in custody for two weeks while the Ward boy has been out on bail. I wouldn't want Ward to think he could get off scott free, so I will remand him in custody also. Because the guns were found in the possession of Ward and the black jacks, it leads on.to the be- lief that the intention of these boys was of a criminal nature, Pickering Sergeant Fred White, Provincial Constables Ray Williams and W, Partington told of the in- vestigation. Two weeks after the break-in Ward was . apprehended and led police to his bedroom where he had removed some of the wall- board to secrete the guns. Character evidence was introduc- ed to show that each of the boys had previous good records. John Greer: appeared for Ward fad. A. M. Wootton for the Cand- ers Review Night to study and discuss Co-operative Medical Services. This effort culminated in the call- ing of a county-wide meeting, and the setting up of Ontario (County) Co-operative Medical Services. This Medical Co-op received its charter in June 1948 and has grown so that now it is covering over 2,000 persons -- offering both pre- d hospitalization and surgical enefits. The Medical Co-op is one of the first projects that has been able to weld a county, nearly 100 miles long, into one unit. Even our Fed- eration of Agriculture has two County organizations -- one for the North, and another for the South. How wonderful to look back now and realize that this County unity is the direct result of a Forum un- dertaking. WHAT IT HAS MEANT The regular Greenwood Forum meetings are held in the homes of the members. Each Monday the host of the evening is chairman. When arranging e discussion groups, the chairman sees to it that man and wife do not land in the same small discussion group. This contributes to a freer discus- sion We believe that the sociability of the gathering is Jessy as im- GREENWOO! (Continued on A 15) Party Given For Mrs. G.

Miss Greig was introduced by Rotarian Vernon Rowe, chairman o hid Cribbled Children's Com- ttee of the Club, which has re- Hies very valuable assistance from her. In addition to VON his- tory, Miss Greig gave a brief review of nursing services as they existed in Canada before the Order came into being. THE WORK IN WHITBY Of particular interest to the Club was the magnitude of the work in Whitby with increasing demands. year after year, the branch was organized just 15 years after the first branch was begun. Last year, for instance, with an increase in Fopuiation of 300, the VON was called to give more bed- side nursing care, carry on the usual clinic work and take care. of expanding health supervision in the schools. With an enrolment of 885 school pupils, in five elemen- tary schools, the largest in the town's history, regular inspection and advisory work in the schools, which require considerable time and patience, there were 180 home- school visits. Thirteen chest clinics for X-ray work, and 49 child health conferences were held. In 1952 a total of 234 persons were nursed, with many of the beneficiaries un- able to pay, while the nurses made a total of 2,051 visits. Five out of every 100 citizens called on the organization Yor help duning the year, As the field of public health cal branch becomes greater. _ |Health Act, Workmen's Compensa- broadens, the challenge to the lo- | understanding. GROWTH IN CANADA Miss Greig noted that therv are in Canadas y 113 branches of the Victorian Order, with over 400 nurses who are also trained in pub- lic health work and must have an - | intimate knowledge of the Public tion Act and other provincial and Federal ordinances. Miss Greig, with the growth of Whitby and of the Dominion as a whole, visualized a growing de- mand for VON services, and, with the practical help and sympathy of such organizations as the Rotary Club, she felt that Order would be equal to the challegne. LOOKS TO FUTURE "From its inception 56 years ago the Victorian Order of Nurses for Canada has remained a national order with central office and chief superintendet in Oshawa. The governor-genera] is patron. At the same time it has achieved its strength and growth," Miss Greig | sald, quoting Chief Superintendent, Miss Christine Livingston, as say- ing: 'As we look for®ard with hope to another year, we can look back on the old days with satisfaction. When we do this, then, life is really worth while." VOTE OF THANKS In moving a vote of thanks to the speaker, Rotarian J. H. Ormis- | ton said that there was a danger | that in Whitby we might take the | humanitarian service the VON was | rendering in Whitby too much for granted, losing sight of this great value and the vital role it played in the promotion of the health and happiness of the citizens, particu- larly mothers and children and in the extent of its operations through- out Canada.

Kenneth n.d Wilson, 18, of Sharbot Lake, is charged with a number of crimes since. his es- cape on February 19. His dttitude in court seemed so strange, that Magistrate F. 8.

His parents have not been notified of his res- ent trouble, Besides escaping from Wilson faces two more charges of car theft and one of breaking and entering. He pleaded guilty to all. "If you send me back to Guelph, I'll take off again," he told the magistrate, "That's a vicious attitude for a young fellow to take --- why?' asked the Cadi. "I want to learn a trade in King- ston pen," replied Wilson. 'I had jonly two months and 20 days of my sentence to serve when I left Guelph. I want to get a peniten- tiary record.
