Forums now meet re- gularly to discusssocial and ec- onomic, farm and cultural, life and death issues. In each country where Farm Forum op- erates, radio stations provide thought-provoking programs, voluntary organizations or gov- ernments provide stimulating pamphlets, and local people supply enthusiasm, time for study, and opinions aired in discussion. Forum reports are carefully summarized and the results transmitted to government and hack to the people themselves. Often, government spokesmen are asked for answers to ques- tions posed by the forums. Canada's Farm Forum con- tinues on November 2nd, with its weekly Monday nightbroad- casts. Leading off the season is "The Price of Life", an ex- amination of the recently pub- lished Royal Commission on Medical Services Report. Corning up during the au- tumn will he "The Sunday Farmers", a study of the effect of part-time farmers on Cana- dian communities; "Farmers in Transition", an examination of the rigours of change on fast- moving Canadian farms; "Two Roads to Market", a discussion of co-ops and marketingboards as they fit into the farm picture. January will feature "The Outsiders" , a look at those rural young people who have no skills, little training and a bleak future. It will he follow- ed by "The Farmer's Image" and "The Split Personality of Farm Organization", two pro- grams designed to generate plenty of discussion in any rural group. The season includes a look at Centennial plans, at freight rates and their effects on Cana- dian farmers, at the conflicts between churches and their communities, the problems of aging and finally, examines the potential of Canada's rural areas for a variety of uses, aside from agriculture. If you would like to organize a farm forum, write to your Provincial Farm Forum Secre- ary, or to National Farm Radio Forum, 113 St. George Street, Toronto 5, Ontario.
