Turning to the larger picture of rst-war problems, Mrs. Davidson d "Sooner or later we cannot avoid the consequences of our own inaction.

At Concession and Liberty Sts. a horse and buggy.owned by Olaf Hertzberg were in difficulties. Police as- sisted in repairing harness but no other damage was done. A short distance from home, Hiram Covert of The Pines had the misfortune to take to the ditch with his coupe which hit a tree causing damage to fender and radiator. His dog, in the coupe reached for a package of mince meat. Hiram reached for the dog and the car reached the ditch. Police and wreckers came ,to the rescue. Saturday night a soldier got into an argument with a local resident on King St. He was taken to the police station followed by an "artist's model" from Oshawa who made a passionate plea for his release. She taxied back home. He was let go on nominal bail. Leonard Harman Addresses Farm Forums at Maple Grove The second of the joint meet ings of the Lake Shore Farm Forums, convened at Maple Grov Church assembly room, Monday evening. The speaker was Leon ard Harmon, Director of Farrn Forumns, Toronto. The first o such general meetings took place at Shaw's wbere Dr. R. P. Vivian Minister of Health, was the speak er. Attendance of over 150 a Maple Grove attested the interes and enthusiasm of farmers in gen erai discussion of their probiems. The tapie nhof the evening wa "Farm Credit" a subject that had been discussed in individua Forums for the past few weeks. As usual, reports by radio from across Canada, preceded the ad dress and discussions. Findings were unanimous thai under our economie setup of today farners need, as do other business people, available credit on reason- able terms, for efficient business operations. Because of the nature of farmers' business, credit is more important than perhaps in any other class of people, and needed at the lowest possible cost. Following the broadcast, Mr. Har- mon, Director of Farm Forums for Canada and Editor of the Rural Co-Operator, official jour- nal of farm movements, gave his iddress on the Credit Union movement. Credit Unions in Canada, start- ing from a small beginning had become in a short space of time, a factor of mighty importance to farmers. But much more could be done in giving widespread ef- fecti the system, for many things are' t to be learned. He suggest- ed that a competent observer might be sent to the U.S.A. to study the experience there and report back. This information, combined w i t h our domestic knowledge of Credit Unions would serve to spread the plan throughout Canada and thus loos- en credit for farmers in all parts of the country. In regard to rehabilitation of the fighting forces, it should be remembered there are also young farmers with a farm background and experience who must not be forgotten in post-war plans. Com- bined, _they will be needed as leaders when presently aging farmers are no longer active. The leaders of the farm movement of today must be considered in the class of our pioneer fore- fathers who opened and develop- ed this land, where physical en- durance was capital and free en- - terprise the keynote. Easier n credit must replace that pioneer e capital, for farming has changed y and is ever changing'and we musi - change with it. It was also to be noted that the f youngfarmers whotead staye e with the land during war and would bave ta take over during reconstruction, wouldoalsod ave t to take over the farm debts which t were a problem of prime im- - portance. Farmers are the vitally import- ant people of a nation and must l realize their responsibility in pre- servng a democracy which must be preserved if wars by dictators - are to be avoided. Mr. Harmon sounded the warning that farmers t must be masters of their own fate; do their own business in their own way. It takes more brains and ingenuity to become successful farmers than in any other line of activity. Turning to support for farmers, the speaker noted that the weekly press was performing an import- ant service and that one of the foremost and most widely quoted was The Statesman, which had backed the farm movement at all times. He had observed in his travels in the Maritimes, that weeklies down there quoted The Statesman in support of the farm movement. Presiding at the meeting was Garnet B. Rickard, President of the Durham County Federation, who introduced Mr. Harmon and told of the vital importance of the Federation and its real achievements on the farm front. Forbes Heyland, County Forum Organizer, asked each member to do some missionary work for membership since his gas quota was running low. Rev. H. C. Lin- stead, a regular attendant at the Forums, told of his interest in the co-operative movement; what af- fected his people on the farm front affected his church which was supported by farm folk. An enjoyable musical program was given by Mrs. Wood, Mr. and Mrs. O. Bragg and W. J. S. Rick- ard, together with the Osborne Quartette. Community singingi was led by Walter Rundle with Leslie Collacutt at the piano. Thanks to the speaker were ex-1 tended by Messrs. Osborne and O.1 Bragg. Coffee and light refresh-j ments were provided by Forumi wives, which rounded out a splen-1 did evening of business, cultural and social value. Speaking of Weather General consensus is tha the weather has taken a turn for the worse.

Lionism As 1 See It Subject of Address Jack Connell, Genera1 Secr tary of the Hotel Association Canada, Toronto, was guE speaker at the Lions Club on Mo day night. Mr. Connell has be a Lion for 23 years. In that tir he has held every office in h club, has been District Govern and was also the first Internatio al Director from Canada. Taking as his subject, "Lionis As I See It," Lion Jack gave brief outline of the advance Lionism and what it means to community and more particular to each individual Lion. The service of Lionism is sprea in seven countries by 5,000 clu and is the largest service clu organization in the world. Hunc reds of years ago, the barbariar came out of the hills of norther Europe to lay waste the cultivate south of Europe. A small ban of men from Venice district gav their livesl in a successful effo to stop this marauding band. T their bravery was erected a statu in the forrm of a Lion, knowne the Lion of Venice. Later, whe Napoleon was on the warpath, h was halted by Wellingtonz Waterloo. Again a statue wa raised commemorating the coui age of the occasion and againj took the form of a Lion, know as the Lion of Waterloo. Whe Louis 14th was set upon by h people, a group of Swiss mercer aries fought to the end for the master. A statue was raised t honor the fidelity of these Swis again it was in the form of Lion known as the Lion of Lu cerne. Almost 2000 years ago, th Son of God was born, bringing new creed to the world, a. cree of brotherly love and tolerancE To the prophets, Jesus Christ wa known as the Lion of Judea. And so, when Melvin Jone5 the founder of Lionism and stil Secretary of Lions Internationa felt there was a need of a servic club in his district, without hesi tation, he chose the nam "Lions," for it embodied bravery courage, fidelity, tolerance anc brotherhy love. Lions, standini for Liberty, Intelligence, Our Na ion's Safety, has had as its mair objectivp, since the day of it ounding, the creed of Communit' Betterment. Lionism is non-sectarian an îon-politicah. It means servi in tbe broadest sense, it hehps you o help yourself. Past Deputy District Governo Chas. Carter introduced Mr. Con nell and Past President Tec Chant moved the vote of thanks Visitors to the club were F. W Bowen of Newcastle and Lieut M. Breslin, Kingston. !
