SS 4 FORUM The SS No. 4, Goderich Township Farm Forum met at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Mervyn Lobb for the February 14 meeting. '.Farm Marketing Abroad" was the sub- ject discussed.. After listening to the broadcast, the discussion re- sulted in the following findings on the questions submitted. Do you thing farm price sup- ports should be designed to protect the farmer against disastrous. drops in price, or should they be high enough to encourage ;increas- ed production, or should they be. in between? We think that prices should be supported to the extent that the farmer is protected against loss hut that the support prices should not be set so -high as to encourage increased pro- duction of already surplus pro- ducts. Do, you think we in Canada should set,, support prices higher than prices in the available export going to town to: present a more, Can you have an effective price markets? Yes. FIRESIDE 'FORUM (luteaadeii for last week) The first February meeting for Fireside Farm Forum was held at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Mansel Cook, with 27 persons pres- ent, including Mr. and .Mrs. Ro- bert W. Riley as guests. They are former members of the forum. The topic for discussion, "A Pub- lic Relations Programme" :proved to be a lively and lengthy one running well, over'' the allotted time for discussion. Many inter- esting side -lights were. presented, and many good points were brought forth. In the opinion of this forum we should invite more townspeople to our meetings and show them how .our money is spent to raise the produce we sell. Meetings held' between producers and consumers would be of some aid in helping to iron out some of the problems on both sides, and lead to a.:better understanding between the . two groups. • Farm Forums should report their findings to local newspapers and , if -urban people would read them, they would have some idea of the work the farmers are trying to do.

Some, money could' be paid by the farmers to the Federation of Agriculture for advertising purpos- es, but if too much were made . available some white collar man would take the position and get the money.

Farm Forum met at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Donald Buchanan on Monday, February 14, with 21 present, Subject for discussion was "Farm Marketing Abroad", a subject dealing with price supports for , the farmer's products. In the opinion of this forum, there should be farm price sup- ports to cover disastrous drops in price, but not enough to encour age increased production, to cause surpluses. Prices, however, should be high enough to cover the cost of production. Our price supports would need to be higher in some parts or the world than others but not higher than .in the United States. We feel we cannot have an effective price support program without in- creasing barriers to international trade as the prices in Canada ,are far higher now, than they are in. other countries.

CITIES SERVICE DISTRIBUTOR YThosae •— Clinton 377 fW'ioderich 320-W THE Calvert SPORTS COLUMN &met 9e4904,04 (Tills is the first of two parts on Canada's polder sport of curling.) Part I-•- }IOW —IIOW CURLING CAIWE TO CANADA If you asked the average sports fan: "What 41s C anada's, most popular winter sport?" he midoubteilly would reply: "Ilockey": On the basis of participant activity, he would be completely wrong. Probably 50,000 boys in Canada play hockey in some form or another. But 200,000 men, women and children are curling addicts. It is questionable, indeed, Whether any other partici- pant sport in North America attracts se many ardent followers. It is well over a century ago that the Royal Montreal Curling Club began to issue franchises to members transfer- red tb different parts of Canada. The ancient club was then acting as headquarters of the Royal Caledonia in Canada. Since then other provinces have set up their owit curling headquarters 'although Montreal, the eastern part of Ontario and Quebec generally are still part 'and parcel of the Scottish organization, which' took the `Royal" title in ' 1842 when Queen Victoria visited Scotland, and attended a curling contest. Many .club in Canada can boast of having achieved the ripe old age of 100 years, or more. A popular tradition is that naernbers of a Scottish regiment, stationed at Quebec introduced the game to Canada, using cannon balls cut in half to spin along' the ice surfaces. ' Factually, it is known that the Montreal Curling Club' was founded in 1807, and records indicate • that the first inter- city curling match was, played in 1835, between teams repre- senting Montreal and Quebec, City. ` In proverbially Scottish eastern Nova Scotia, particularly in Pictou county, curling came into being more than a century ago. Scots who settled at Albion'Mines soon after 1827 were first to play the game in that country, and minutes of the: Bluenose Club in New Glasgow date back to 1853. e • The Hamilton Thistle Club is 101 years old. Before' this club was founded, there was some Scattered ending in the district As far back as 1338, Hamilton curlers were at a' loss how to get stones. A woodworker in' nearby Fergus inside a set of "stones" from curly maple, and these were ssi used for years.
