FARM FORUM (Intended for Last Week) No. 4 West Forum met at Mrs. A. J. Oke's. In answer ta the question: "The Statement is some- times made national health in- surance wouid be a government handout, and that it is bettter if people have their awn initiative in obtaining gaod medical ser- vices for their own communities." We think that if it is contributary thraugh individual or corparate taxation it should not be consid- ered a handout, which in some cases is abjectionable. If the question of national heaith is kept ln mind we think that the govennment's shold han- die it ln co-aperatian. We des- pise the narrow provincialism ex- hibited by some af aur provincial leaders. After recréation period Mrs. Oke served lunch. There will be no forum meeting next week 0W- ing ta numerous Christmas con- certs.
