The object for discussion "The farm - r and the Urban Worker," was.. lot as interesting as some topics, tit a worthwhile discussion took, lace nevertheless. In the forum's opinion, prosper ty°makes people more contented wh erever they live, but we think armors as a rule are better off. hey can choose their own work s e b p f T lours, are their own boss, arid country life does not travel at such a hectic rate. Sociability is more apparent among farm people, You work with,your neighbour during the, summr and enjoy his company socially during the win- ter months. Often in the towns and cities, you dont even know your next door neighbour's name. Country life the forum feels, is better for children too. They can play on their own property with- out traffic hazard's found in the city. Towns and_ cities do have more police and fire protection however which is something the IT 'ALL PAY YOU, TOO!

When urban workers. with their families come visiting, on vacat- ion, let them help the farmer at his work and he might get to un- derstand how much work their is to -farming. Farmers, in turn, should try to understand the work done by urban people. A few games of euchre were en- joyed, followed by lunch, served by Mrs. George Carter, Mrs. Rob- ert Dalton, Mrs. H.

Canada; men, women and juniors. Of the senior male group, at least 20,000 entered the lists last fall in the maid hope of reaching a chance at play for the dworld's most sought- afterd curling trophy." But, -as in -other sports, only the cream of the crop survives when, in the battle that starts at Regina in early forty-four good curlers and true, re resentin Canada Mfo Newfoundland to' British Columbia, fightiit out for te C Can- adian title in this sporting round robin. Last' year, Edmonton had the Brier, the Grey Cup and the oil millions ja rich collection.. There's high drama iu the Brier. Founded in 1927,.it was suspended for three years during World War II, resumed in 1946 at Saskatoon. On the final day of the meet, a three- way deadlock for first place developed, necessitating a sudden - death -playoff between rinks representing Alberta, Northern Ontario acid Manitoba. - Almost 5,000 curling fans, with nothing but- their own red-hot enthusiasm to keep them warm hung on grimly until two o'clock on a bitterly -cold .mo"ening• to see the first post-war champion in Canada crowned. It was the rink skip- ,. ped by Billy Rose from the tiny village of Sedgewiok, Alberta. Canada, There are 35,000 school students playing the game in grounding themselves in the inherently sporting char- acter of the roarih' •game, And the national school champion_ ship brings out some fine curling, as youngsters from every province in the Dominion compete, Women curlers have theirtournaments in every province, In Quebec province, there is, among other winter meet- ings, the Lieutenant -Governor's Trophy and the Seagram Bowl, Awarded annually to the province's international bon - spiel, the Seagram Bowl game is rated one of the classics of the curling world, attended by representative rinks from coast to coast. But perhaps it is the club matches, the hundreds of; lesser 'spiels, that make curling great in a social and sporting sense. For Ws a great g'2une, a mune devoid -0f'inquests, where the skip's decision, right or wrong, Is never questioned; the game of true sportsmanship.
