Nb. 4,..Darlington Forum Findings for January Meetings It seems that we have been criticized by some for"not report- ing our forum 9ndings to tthe press so here is a'brief summing up for the January series. First meeting was at Art Found's with 23 present and sub- ject "Agriculture is a Rîsky Bus- iness." We all agreed it is risky with weather, pes'ts, fire, fluctu- ating markets and sickness to contend wîth but we thought that the shortage of làbor at a busy time was just as bad as anything else. Dept. of Agriculture is help- ing to control pests and' animal diseases, but more 'could be done, especially in control of Bang's Disease. Blood testing should be compulsory. Concerning a crop insurance scheme we were not very enthusiastic. We were pleas- ed to have Miss Dorothy Adam- son of Hampton, a student teach- er at No. 4 school, with us for the meeting. Next meeting was held at Wm. Bickles' with 22 present and sub- ject "What should the World Fed- eration do?" Said Federation is the International Federation of Agrîcultural Producers. We did not know much about this until we read our forum guide and lis- tened to the broadcast. We think page 3 of Jan. 13th issue is worth anyone's time to leead. More members for the Canadian F'ed- eratton is the answer to the fin- ancing problem. So let us all get behin'd the I.F.A. and the C. F.A. and help them do their part in making this old world a better place to live with less surplus here and less scarcity in some less fortunate part of the world. The third meeting was held' at Douglas Courtice's and our dis- cussion was on commodity agree- ments and> cartels. Our attendance was 23 and we needed another 23 to get to the bottom of this sub- ject. We have spent two evenings on this subject and there is still a great deal we do not know about it. The main difference be- tween the two is this-Cartels are formed by manufacturers for the purpose of keeping up prices by curtailed output, if necessary, without regard for the consumer. Whereas the commodity agree- ment is supposed to be fair to both producer and consumer. Cartels seem to be used to control goods that are in short supply, while commodity agreements are used where there are surpluses. Concerning the wheat agreement with Great' Britain the majority of our group feels that in view of existing world conditions the price has been set too low and for too short a term. To wind up the evening we heard' brief reports from the three boys who attended the short courses at Guelph, Brooks Pearce, Elmer Down and Murray Osborne. We held our meeting on Jan. 27 at Keith Ormiston's with 25 in attendance. As this was review night we concentrated our efforts on pre-testing the questions for March 3. The subject, "Have far- mers a stake in high wages?" The discussion was loud and long on the good &nd bad points of labor unions. We do not know which side of the argument won. An added feature for the evening was a shprt talk by Mr. Pinkham of Bowmanville on farm accounting. Mr. Pinkham was supposed to speak at Shaw's forum but some- how landed at the wrong place. So we heard the talk instead of Shaw's. We are planning for a pot luck supper on Feb. 25 and hope to have the entire staff from the Farm Forum office in Toronto with us for the evening.

At your grocer's-nowl Blackstock (Intended for Last Week) W.M.S. of United Church met at Mrs. Cecil Hill's with Mrs. Roy Taylor, presidient, in' charge. Mrs. Harrison, Mrs. E. Larmer and Mrs. H. Hooey assisted Mrs. R. Taylor with the devotional per- iod with Mrs. Pearl Hill playing the hymns. Roll cail was answer- ed by paying dues for 1947 and a New Year's resolution. Thank you's for 'Christmas Good Cheer boxes, fruit and cards were read. Treasurer reported Auxiliary had gone over their allocation of $135, which was very gratifying. Mrs. Carl Wright took charge of pro- gram. Mrs. Earl Dorreil gave Tyrone Women's Institute met at Mrs. R. Scott's with Mrs. N. Woodley presîding. Christmas card corn- mittee reported 20 cards sent; $3 was voted to cornfqrt commit- tee; gift box for Sick Children's Hospital will be open for dona- tions from members or others during next month. Roll call was answered by "My Project for the Year" and brought forth varied answers of ambitious members- perennial borders started or im- proved, hooked. mats, completing some handwork, home improve- ments and one member bravely voiced the ambition to do her mending every week. Devotional was given by Mrs. Rosevear. Mrs. R. Wright took over the meeting and introduced Mrs. W. Theisbur- ger, who spoke on fur farming. Mr. and Mrs. Theisburger own a mink and fox farm just north of Tyrone. Mrs. Theisburger spoke of the link that Tyrone has with the beginning of fur farming. Robert Hodgson who was the or- iginator of the industry and him- self came from Raglan, married Vera Virtue of Tyrone. The speaker outlined briefly how she, a teacher educated in Scotland and trained as a secretary in U.S. A., and her hu5band, an account- ant for a chemical company, both with a love for the outdoors, flrst ventured to buy mink and a little later start a fur farm. She spoke of the glamour of the mink fur, the most durable of ahl furs, of the kinds of mnink and -the value of the coats ranging up to $35,- 000. The speaker told of the diet of the mink, and a little of their care. She also explained and showed on a mink neck-piece how to know good, fur. It requires about 65 to 70 skîns to make a coat, according to size.- Foxes were also mentioned briefly. Al- together the talk was very inter- esting and. much enjoyed. Mrs. S. Hoar and Mrs. Wright gave readings with special thoughts for the new year. Mrs, Goodman gave a report of the convention in Toronto and gave several sug- gestions for our activities. The group served baked beans and brown bread. the study book "India at the Threshold;" Mrs. B. Harrison a reading on New Year's gives us ail the time and Mrs. Archer con,- ducted a hy'mn contest. Tea and cookies brought to a close a very lovely afternoon. Mr. and Mrs. E. Larmer opened their home for a crokinole party sponsored by W.MS., Jan. 22nd. About 40 were present. Mrs. W. Archer and, Arnold Taylor were winners. Lunch was serve& Cadmus, Yelverton and Black- stock Farm Forums made a break in the usual procedaire and on re- view night met in the Community Hall, Blackstock, for an oyster supper, after which they listened to the broadcast and then spent the remainder of the evening with carda ,and crokinole. About 60 were present. Everyone voted it a real time. PROPER POSTURE Posture is important in rela- tion to health. So, say many doctors at Ottawa, "consider your backbone.'" The Department of National Health and Welfare has this word of advice to health- seekers-"Don't slump in your chair as though it was a bed. Straighten up, whenever you find yourself becoming stooped or slouchy. If your spine is1 straight, your internal organs have a better chance to work in uncramped quarters." "SILVER FOX" by W. B. Herbert. The above illustration shows the. silver fox in his wild magnificence. > ilver Fox Fur wQs a prize worth more than its weight in gold and began a quest that led men into the bleak reciches of Canada's wilderness to wealth and sometimes to death. The silver fox was king among the fur-bearers in a trcide which gave shape to young Canada's economy and colour * to her history. *"mhe future well-being of our fur-bearing animal, may depend on the widespread application of wildlife manage- ment principles . . . we can help by giving support and * *~ ,' tencouragement to both private and government effort in thiz new and promising f içd." * An excerpt from-CONEEVATION AND CANADA'S M. pulINGANMAd by C.
