Over 500 of the community discussion groups will meet in schools and halls across Canada to listen to a special one and one-half :hour broadcast over 51 CBC stations, dealing with their problems. This year the emphasis will be placed nn the major adjust- ments which farmers are being. required to make in order to re- main in business. The first broadcast, which will originate at the Royal 'York Hotel in To- ronto. will deal with the small farmer and ,his special prob. lems.
