Farm Forum Meeting
The S.S. No. 4 .Farm Forum
met Monday night at the home
of Mr. and Mrs. A. Hebden, with
nine members present.
Following the regular radio
broadcast there was a discussion,
and the annual Farm Foruin
Questionaire was answered.
Plans were made for the final
meeting of the season which is
to be held at the home of Mr.
and Mrs. Robert E. Thompson.
Community Club
The S.S. No. 4 Community
Club met at the home of Mrs.
Lorne Tyndall for the March
meeting. The president, Mrs. Les-
lie Pearson' presided, and the.
Lord's Prayer was repeated in
unison. The minutes of the last
meeting were read and approved.
The roll call was "Myr, grand-
mother's maiden names and their
birthplaces," which _ was respond-
ed to by eleven members present.
The treasurer's report showed a
balance of $34.83. A nominating
committee, Mrs. L. Pearson, Mrs.
C. Tebbutt and Mrs. S. Farquhar
was appointed to bring in a slate

During the business session
plans were made for the bazaar

Mrs. C. Tebbutt and Mrs. W.
Churchill.

home of Mrs. W. Biggin. The roll

Attractive Farmsteads
The topic for National Farm
Radio Forum on Monday, March 7
was "More Attractive Farm-
steads." This topic was discussed
by the S.S. No. 4 Farm Forum,
which met at the home of Mr. and
Mrs. Bert Lobb, Holmesville, for-
mer members of the Forum.
It was decided that the appear-
ance of the farmstead is very im-
portant, as it reflects the degree
of prosperity of the property own-
er; it gives an impression of the
character and ability of the oc-
cupants, and it raises the morale
of people to live among attractive
surroundings.
It was suggested that farm
people clean up rubbish, brush, old
implements around buildings,
weeds, etc., keep fences repaired,
laneways tidied up, keep barn
doors on hinges and glass in win-
dows; also make a lawn; keep it
in good condition; plant trees
(those from the woodlot help to
make attractive surroundings).
More costly improvements niay
be planned to cover two or three
years as finances permit, setting
aside the profit from some special
crop or livestock.
The Forum members have done
some of this work in the last three
years, and a rural beautification
project would serve a useful pur-
pose in any community. This pro-
ject should include the school and
school grounds in any municipality.
It was decided that improve-
ments to roads would also be an
incentive to farmers to improve-
ment of their farmsteads. At the
present time No. 8 Highway from
Stratford to Goderich is badly in
need of improvement.
There was a recreation period
and lunch was served. The next
meeting will be at the home of
Mr. and Mrs. A. Hebden.
