The schools and school grounds should certainly be made more attractive, road sides im- proved, weeds kept down, roads wid- ened and hydro installed in every home. The question of labor at the present time makes • extra improving very difficult. As a means of aiding- such a project it was suggested by one group that our forum sponsor a con- test for improving home surroundings. Our forum discussed the questions well but more and more members are dis- cussing the various other problems and difficulties at our meetings and the possibility of making rural communi- , spirit of neighborliness and friendship is being cultivated and nurtured as at no other time in bygone years.
