Farm Forum Will Begin November 2
The Farm Forum movement
is a world-wide system of study
groups. 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.
