With The Farm forums SS 4 GROUP The SS No. 4 Goderich Town- ship Farm Forum held its first meeting of this season on Monday night at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Irvine Tebbutt, with an at- tendance of 11 members. Follow- ing the radio broadcast, Irvine Tebbutt was elected chairman for the season and Mrs. Ira Merril] as secretary. The topic for discussion was "Most farm wives, working - part- ners". "What should co-operation be- tween a farmer and his wife in- clude"? It was decided that co- operation should include planning the farm business. The man. usual- ly knows more about farm busi- ness, but this helps raise the man's confidence and keeps the woman's trust. Co-operation should also in- clude planning farm expenditures, helping with outside work when help is scarce, providing of course that health will permit, The group did not - think it should include legal partnership as such a situa- tion might become very much in- volved, but thought both parties should try keeping expenses at a minimum, waiting for extra com- forts until their could reasonably afford them. Should farm wives try to keep informed on (a) farming tech- niques, (b) marketing problems? It was decided that farm wives should certainly keep informed on farming techniques in order to make the most profit from their ventures in the shortest space of time and to be able to discuss in- telligently, improvements which could be effected in their busi- ness. Wivesshould know the mar- keting ar- ketind problems in order to n - stante husband's problems and be able to help him decided on the most profitable phase of farming. Wives can get market reports from the radio, sometimes when the husband is absent. There was a recreation period following the discussion and lunch was provided by the ladies, The next meeting will be at the home of Mr, and Mrs. Ira Merrill, FRIENDLY FEW The Friendly Few Farm Forum met at the home of Mr. and Mrs. William Dale with a good attend- ance. Two groups were formed for the discussion. Should there be co-operation be- tween the farm and his wife in farm business? Both groups de- cided the farm wife should be taken into consideration in all farm matters as well as legal rights. Should the farm wife know mar- ket problems? Both groups again decided in the affirmative, and also when to market and get good prices. Progressive euchre was played and prizes went to, Iadies' high, June Rodgers; low, Mrs. William Jewitt; men's high, John Jewitt; low, Murray Dale. The forum is invited to the home of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Riley for next week. 0 VARNA The Woman's Association of the United Church held a successful bazaar in the Varna Stanley town- ship hall last Saturday afternoon.

THECalVer# SPORTS COLUMN dyEefitet elfeedoit Where would Canadian football be, today, if the forward pass hadn't been adopted, in the face of very considerable opposition from, die-hards, in 1931? We guess it would still be a minor game, with few if any imported stars, small crowds, moderate enthusiasm. Certainly nothing like the gigantic structure which football has become today. Origin of the exploitation of the forward pass as an of- fensive measure carefully designed, is a matter of contention, not that this matters greatly to Canadians who by the hund- reds of thousands get their thrills from football today. It has been the custom to give to the late Knute Rockne, ,•and Gus Dorais all the credit for developing the forward pass into the spectacular play which Canada later borrowed. And 1912 was tabbed as the date. But that isn't the way we hear the story. Into the Legend of the Forward Pass comes another, and less familiar name, that of Edward B. Cochems, former coach of the St. Louis University football team of 1906-7-8. He is regarded by old timers as the No. 1 pioneer in the field of forward passing. Coehems, a graduate of Wisconsin University and a mem- ber of one oi; its greatest teams around the turn of the eentury joined the St, Louis University staff as head coach in 1905 and the next year, when the forward pass went into legal effect Cochems exploited the possibilities of the new offensive play to the fullest. • Cochems had brought two famous players with him from the Wisconsin squad, Bradbury Robinson and Jack Schneider, whose feats in passing and receiving are legendary. In the sumrner of 1906 Cochems took his squad to Lake Beulah, where they put in their entire summer studying the new rules, Before the season opened Robinson could throw the "pro- jectile pass", as it was called, unbelievable distances and Schneider, racing for the goal line, received the "blimp" as the early type of football was termed. They also had a short pass over the line and -other variations. In their early games they completely befuddled the enemy by first hammering the line or running the ends to pull in the defense, and then bewildering the foe with a shower of forward passes. By the end of the season they had mopped up all opposition, scoring 11 victories. In the course of their successes they fired what is regarded as one of the longest forward passes of all time, a flip that travelled 87 yards, almost the length of the field. roar comments and i vggesHahs for Mgt column wiff bo Mamma by linter Ferguson, c/o Calvert House, 431 Yong* St., Toronto.
