Commerce will hold a rural- urban dinner meeting in March for the purpase of acquainting the farmers in this district with the work of the Chamber and promoting better relations be- tween the people of Bowman- ville and the people of the ru- ral districts.

There was a discussion on the establishing o! a park in the valley of Vanstone's Creek south of No. 2 Highway and improving thc present parks. It was felt that the' formation Mf a Bowmanvilc Parks Commis- sion might be a valuable step and this matter will be turther invcstigated. R. P. Rickaby asked whether John M.

Mr. Banting sta- ted that he had talkcd this aver with Mr. James and it seemed a question of which was ta came tirst-the chickcn or the egg?
