Miss Brown and her ,sister, Jean, were employed at a print- ing and packaging business in Toronto where Bev had been working in personnel for 12 years. However, they decided the busy city life was not for them so decided to look to the country for something more rewarding. Their final decision was` to go into pig farming and they looked for land in this area as it was suit- able for growing corn crops. After considerable research, talking with a few farmers, agri- cultual- representatives and top swine experts, a deal was made to purchase the William Dettman farm on the fourth concession of Turnberry Township. In spite of prophecies from local people and those of other areas, that the "pig girls" and their farming business would be short-lived, Bev and Jean have come through on top, after steady progress during the past eight years. Their experiences, as told by Bev, were most interesting and amusing to their rural audience. Besides success in pig farming, they have also enjoyed becoming involved in community activities. Mrs. R. Chambers thanked the speaker and presented Bev with. a small token of appreciation, ?Presidlent Mrs. Stan Hays opened the meeting in the usual manner and minutes of the Oct- ober meeting were read by the secretary, Mrs. John Rutherford, Mrs. Hays reported on the Bruce County rally held in Sauble Beach Community Centre on October 19.
