PAGIE TM~ THE CANADIAN STATESMAN, BOWMANVILLE, ONTARIO THKJRSDAY, N*VzMEEm2W. NEWTONVILLE FORUM Newtonville Forum met et the home of Mr. and Mrs. Melville Samis. The broadcest and dis- cussion topic was "Cen we farre on shorter hours?" The panel discussion on the air brought ta aur attention the di!- ference bettieen working hours a! the farmer and the city work- er. The farmer begins work as soon as he gets up, While the city worker may be up an hour or two before he punches the time-clock and his pay begins. "How could hours o! labour be shortened on yaur farms with- out reducing incarne?" After much discussion we decided that much time and labour could be saved by baving better arrange- ment o! farm buildings and us- ing moderh canveniefices and machinery. This should increase 15 King St. the production thus gradually overcoming the i4itial cost of the machinery. Should the farmer try to short- en hours of labour on the farm or should he concentrate on increas- ing his income? This question was highly debatable since the desire to increase the income varies directly as the needs of each individual. We feit that the majority of people wish ta in- crease their income in order to provide for later years and ta give the family some of the little luxuries of life. Next week the Forum meets at the home of Mr. and Mrs. S. A. Rowe. Don't forget to study vour Forum Guide and be ready for a good discussion on »"Who should pay for soul conservation?" After al, conservation is every- body's business. PAINT & WVALLPAPER STORE W. Bowmanville PITTS1URGh PINTS Ëéý 4?Ut, ne, Durham County PROVIDENCE PARM FORUM Providence Forum met at the home o! Mr. and Mrs. Orville Osborne with 22 present. The discussion topic wvas "Cen We Farm on Shorter Hours." The following officers were elected for this year: Secretary, Robiýrt Hendry, Social Commit- tee, Mrs. Clarence Turner, Ethel and Douglas Wight and William Bragg; Lunch Committee, Mrs. Luxton and Mrs. Gordon Barrie. The host for each meeting will also act as chairman. It will be very difficult to shor- ten hours of work on the farm. To do so is going to cut your pro- duction and thereby raise your cost. Most of our best farmers do not work unreasonably long hours but they stili put in much more than forty hours o! labor each week.

DARLINGTON Our Forum beggn the new sea- son with a meeting et the home o! Mr. andLMrs. Lloyd Down with an atténdance af 21. Officers for 1950-51 season are: Leader, R. C. Pearce; Ass't Leader, Alvin MSt-_ caîf; Sec'y-Treas'., Alice Arnold. The subject for discussion was "Can We Farm on Shorter Hours?" The first question was how could hours of labour be shortened on your farms withaut reducing incarne? The last phase made this a difficuit question to answer. Some of the answers given were: modern machinery.. efficiency around the barn, warking harder when one is working, good hired help The dairy farmers with no help cannot shorten their hours o! labour. "Should a fermer try ta short- en hours of labour an the farm or should he concentrate on in- creasing his incarne?" Providing his incarne is edequate the man who concentrates only an increas- ing his incarne isn't living a worthwhile life. Meny farmers are flot farming for the money that is in it. but it is the occupa- tion of their choice. Meeting on Nov. 6th will be held et the home of Mr. and Mrs. Carl Down ta discuss the topic, "Who should Pay for Soul Con- servation?" A collection will be taken.

Claude Law Writes About Conditions Around Winnipeg St. VitalMan., October 24, 1950 Dear George: This manthly letter is a bit late. While this is elweys a busy sea- son getting the havesting cam- pleted and the gerdens cleared ready for winter, this yeer it is unusuelly busy when sa many are delayed in getting their homes repaimed and athei' things restored efter the disestraus 1950 flood. Following weeks and weeks of surveying and planning, work et building miles and miles o! dykes with trucks and truck- drivers from fer and near have set ta work hauling thousands o! yards o! soil, working around the dlock seven deys the week ta get ready ta ward off e passible flood repititian next spring. While weether has been mod- erately fine, some rein bas made this Red River gumbo quite slip- pery and bard ta handie. Severe frosts have generelly passed us and thet has been well for far- mers, gardeners and thousands o! horne-owners. Rivers are high, unusuelly high. An auto trip e week ega revealed that there are rneny acres a! ferm land up the river under water. There is real anxiety, but we will be better prepered for floods next sprwg. I arn having a complete new foundation under my house. Work is naw well ewey e!tem delays for materiels end men ta do the work. This short street, one long block (400 yards) wes nat bedly dam- eged es compared with scores o! other streets, but it has had at leest eight besements ta be re- peired. Sa the tesk o! restea- tien has been overwhelming with the expense in the millions. We are thankful thet the Federel Government has bomn a major part o! the expenses. Still, many hornehalders will be set back for years ta recover the expenses on top o! the aid meceived, for most people are modernizing et the sarne time. Harvesting is progressing very well. after the wet spell severel weeks ega. which ]owered the grade materielly. Feed grains should be plentiful, but choice flour-producing wheat will net be over abundant. Fodder craps are good and sugar beets, which are now being harvested, are good. Nursery stock bas not been in quite such demend because a! other necessary restoretion ex- penses and the lasses borne lest spring. Many nurseries suffer- ed severe damage. especially in the proximity o! Winnipeg. There will be much still ta be done in 1951 ta restome homes, ferms and gardon. But in spite a! all this very few people will leave this "hub o! the universe" except for promotion. For the pest several weeks the honk a! huge flacks o! Canada geese have been wafting their wey southward. They fly high avcrr the city, in flocks a! 50 ta over 200, epparently feeling safe. Most summer birds have left us for their winter baunts.
