Fairfield Farm Forum
Fairfield Farm Forum met
this week at the home of Mr.
and Mrs. William Schroeder
with 26 in attendance. “Schemes
for Marketing” was the subject
under discussion. In Ontario we
have the mamrketing board for
inmaketing liogs. Each producer
pays two cents a carcass. The
need of a board for maketing
eggs and poultry is felt. At the
present time’ producers are oper
ating at a lose as eggs are so
cheap compared to the cost of
feed. In other provinces there
are marketing boards for fruit
and other vegetables. If it could
be properly arranged a national
marketing board to meet the
needs of all the provinces would
be a good tiling. Games were
played hnd lunch served- The
next meeting will be held at the
home of Mr. and Mrs. Gordon
Wilson,
“This is the fifth time you
have been brought

WHAT PEOPLE ARE
SAYING ABOUT
Persia! Pl,
The B of M featured Personal Planning
in a test area recently. Here are a few of
the comments volunteered by Personal
Planners there:
”... a very workable budget. Your
service is much appreciated.”
"... great prospects for low-income- ,
bracket families.”
"... up-to-date and practical for pres
ent living conditions.”
"... have budgeted for years, but
found Personal Planning interesting and
different.”
"Thank you so much for showing us
the way to make a budget work. Have
tried for a year with no success, but
now I think we can really live and save
with Personal Planning.”
”... a wonderful guide.”
"... appreciate commonsense method
of handling money.”
- "Very helpful in planning a budget...”
“It’s not how much your income is . . . it’s how you
use it.” That is one of the chief points made in
the B of M’s bright little booklet on Personal Planning.
No matter what you earn — $25 a week or
$10,000 a year — this new, practical approach to
money management can help you get 100-cents*
worth of value for every dollar you earn.
There’s no money magic to it — it can’t make
$2,000 go as far as $3,000 — but it can give you
complete mastery over your own money
... and put the facilities of a great savings
institution at your service in attaining it.
Personal Planning is a completely personal
thing. You will be the architect — with an
assist from the Bank of Montreal. You’ll
tailor your plan to fit your income,
your hopes, your dreams. The outcome
will be strictly up to you.
Decide right now to find out how
Personal Planning can be your blueprint
for a brighter, more assured future.

Planning for Successful Home-makers” at
