That has be- come a habit of ours, and you `know habits Remember the New Year's resolutionyou made this January to stop chewing pencil' ends? Anil the other one about sleeping -in mornings? And what has happened those resolutions? It. has, eh! Then you'll know first hand; just what we've been able - to do about our snoopy habit. *. This time, in snooping about the front office (which we do but seldom, because of—well, because of the feelingthe oc- cupants of that, place have for mice) we paid particular at- tention to the day's pile of mail and muddled through the usual government circulars; accounts of parliament doings;'. requests for a wee mention in the fine Clinton News -Record; a reminder about a meeting in Toronto; a time table of events at the British Empire Gaines in B.C. , In fact the front officelast week received a copy of 'the 1954 budget presented on Thursday by Premier -Frost, It 'was fully an inch thick and as long as the arm of the law. But the item we're coming " to gradually, (and in fact, after eating our way througn all of these other folios) is an invitation to tour Europe: ` By air, train, bicycle and by motor coach, the plan is to visit Salzburg, 'Bayreuth, Stratford -on -Avon and Edin- burgh and this dreamer's dream of a tour is toleave Montreal on July 31 and get' SPWNG SUITS 29.50 - 34.50 WEEKEND SPECIAL LADY ANNE KNITTED SUIT 2O% off LADIES' BLOUSES 20% off Plastic and Leather HANDBAGS 25% off THIS SALE IS FOR THIS WEEKEND ONLY FOR c jaeter' THINGS f ! r SMART 14abteti' TO (A, ear WEAR SE ith the Farm forums PARR LINE FOILUl1i: The Parr Line Farm Forum met at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Gor- don Coleman on March 8. Topic for discussion was 'Safety on the Farm". First question: The tractor is. the greatest single cause of -acci- dents on most farms. -Why is this so? What can be done about it? The answer: We -believe that the main cause of so many 'accidents with farm tractors is due to care- lessness on the part of the driver; for example, turning corners at too high a speed; applying brakes attoo high a speed; cranking, tractors while still - in gear; too long hours on tractor causing fa- tigue. We think the Department of Highways should prohibit child back there, early in August. Wonderful! * * H The description of the trip is larded will with such romantic terms as "lorelei", "The Louvre", "Anne Hathaway's cottage, and (equally intriguing)' it states a TOTAL of „THREE tickets will be provided for the festival in Edin- burgh, ,.FOUR for the festival in London, and others for ,a variety of concerts in. Bayreuth and Salz- burg. * '„ Were very sorry, though, that we'll not be able to take the trip We understand that no one in the front office will be going. For that matter, none of the fellows' from the back shop plan to make the tour. * 4 Way down at the bottom of the long list of places, trips • and (no doubt beautiful) tickets, two lines in clear understandable English read: "$1,285 '.(full tour as listed above). $768 (join tour at Salz- burg, terminate tour Edinburgh". We'll not be able to take advant- age of either rate. Then on the last two pages, this missive ' offers a few consolations, well -meant in every respect. But we'll not be able to take advantage of any of it. Of course, the $1,285 is a matter for consideration. But as we see it, the main thing is the matter of getting off for a month. And then the largest difficult of all: we don't belong to the ORMTA. And we fear they wouldn't be interested in training a mouse for membership either. ORMTA? That's the Ontario Registered• Music Teachers' Association. reh under 16 years of age from driving tractors on the highway. We also think parents should not allow children under 14 to drive a tractor On the farm. Second question: What kind of project should your Forum work on this spring to prevent acci- dents or improve farm safety? Answer: Insist that all fire in- surance companies engage anin- spector to inspect, all wiring in farm buildings. A fire extinguish- er should be kept on hand at, all times. Farm ponds 'provide an excellent supply of = Water, in case of fire. Clean. up all fire hazards around house and barn. .We sug- gest that farmers should procure• the various bulletins on farm trac- tor safety operations and first aid. Winners for progressive euchre were: ladies, Mrs. Glen Weido, Mrs. C, Robinson; gentlemen, C. Robinson, Carl Reickert. Lunch was. served.' The next meeting will be held at the home of Mrs. John Baker. FIRESIDE FORUM (By Mrs. Jessie R. Tebbutt) Mr. and Mrs. Harvey` Taylor entertained the members of Fire- side Farm Forum at their home on March 15 with 21 adults pres- ent. The topic for the evening was "From under the Earth," a subject dealing with our mineral resour- ces. As farmers, we do not know whether or not the different min- eral resources were being used for 'our best interests, but do think coal could be used more extensiv- ely, more, used oil could be refined and thus help save for the future. We feel that the oil wells already drilled should be pumped, not cap- ped and it would help in lowering the price of gasoline and oil in our community. Wilful waste should be stopped. Also there is too much speculation. At the conclusion of the discus- sion period, a few games of euchre were enjoyed. Winners were: ladies, most games, Mrs. Robert Jamieson, lone hands, Mrs. James Howatt, consolation, Mrs. Robert Dalton; men, most games, Mrs. J. Tebbutt, lone hands, Oliver And- erson, consolation, Lawrence Tay- lor. Lunch was served,. The forum will meet next Mon- day at the home of Mr. and Mrs, Robert Dalton, when the annual questionnaire will be answered and plans made for the final annual get-together, which usually takes the form of an ice-cream and pie party, before breaking up for the season. Will all members please try and get out next week to help us form our plans for nett year." inth1y alas 0 il tile iria-rcli moving developments in B, C. . • - great new chemical P as • new factories . • new in - new products .. dusaies .• • ' d fromfertile farms aom xtiJ GlisAS LAKES theo the Arctic Circle, Ecom t Atlantic to the Pacific, Canada arch • .'. developing mote too waters is, the m'bar- teeming endows resources, fish (tom en o in$ more its -stem ower...- mote people 1 Y chis fashioning ssiitsia stolabof progress a story benefits of better living —this rex that of any of Cordal the most Than is the story in the world more exciting ,world today.• story exciting other nation in the Cacti diens wog'.

The radio topic - for discussion was "From Under the Earth". The question: "Do you, thing that our mineral resources, including oil, arebeing used in the best inter- ests -of all Canadians:' Our answ- er was "Yes," although we feel that the mining industries, in Can- ada are still in the early stage of development. Walter Forbes was present at this = meeting, to discuss the new medical co-operative insurance plan with the forum members. The annual "Farm Forum Ques- tionnaire" was discussed and an- swered. There was a recreation period, and lunch was served, Plans were made for the final meeting of the season, which, is to' be a pot -luck supper, to be held at the home of Mr. and, Mrs. R. E. Thompson. next Monday night, March 22, FIRESIDE FORUM (By Mrs. J. R. Tebbutt) The home of Mr. and Mrs. Ro- bert Jamieson was the meeting place for Fireside Farm Forum on Monday, March 8, when 18 were present, The topic ,"Safety on the. Farm" brought to light many accident hazards on the farm, some ver and ideas Y good werset forth to prevent them. We feel that carelessness is one big factor for so many fatal trac- tor accidents, .as well as driver's fatigue, machine in poor mechan$ ical repair, riders other than the' driver, no- shields kept on power take -off, and the fact that so many do not stop the machine completely before making minor adjustments. A little education in 'the art of driving may help to keep down the accidents; only licensed driv- ers should be allowed to operate tractors. ,Keep all passengers off the tractor. Wear tight fitting clothes, so there is no danger of a loose wrist band, trouser leg, etc., getting caught in movable parts of tractors. Each family could look around its own farm, see what accident hazards are present, and take steps to eliminate them. A study .of electrical installations would be helpful in spotting electrical faults, which are a potential fire hazard. Neighbours should know more about the other fellow's place, be more familiar with the location of water supply; where a pump can be foundand the place where fire extinguishers and sand buckets are kept. Observe strict caution at all times. At the conclusion of the discus- sion period; a few games of euchre Were played, winners for the even- ing being: Ladies' most games and lone hands, Mrs. James Howatt; consolation, Mrs, Arthur Colson; men's most games, Mrs. Joseph Babcock; lone hands, Bert Hog- gart; consolation, Oliver Anderson. Good wishes, In the form of an autographed card, was sent to Mr. and Mrs. Matthew Armstrong, Seaforth, former members of Fire- side Forum, on the occasion of their 66th wedding anniversary on March 19.
