Hillcrest Fann Forum The Hillcrest Farm Forum met on Monday evening at the home of Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Paton. Discussing aid for under-de­ veloped countries, it was agreed that by helping them we are help­ ing ourselves. We should be con­ cerned about people who do not have enough to eat while we are well-fed. Our help will increase their ability to develop and ad­ vance and may keep them from becoming Communists. The sending of technical ex­ perts and machinery, which our government could finance on the instalment plan, industrial and religious education and the intro­ duction of the co-operative move­ ment and Credit Unions would be the best forms of aid.
