HULLETT 22 adults of the Fireside Farm Forum..met at the !home of Mr, and Mrs. Ken Hulley. The chief difference between farm and labor organizations that (keeps tiem from getting to- gether is the fact that farmers 'have a large capital investment in their (business while labor has none. If assured seasonable re- turns for their labour, farmers would be willing to work extra long hours to increase their fin- ances, whereas labor is constant- ly demanding shorter hours. If leaders of farm and labor organ- izations would have joint meet- ings to discuss their problems they would have a better under- standing and might overcome some differ'elnces. Farmers qr- ganizations should unite under' one head, then they would have better 'bargaining power. As the farmer is an employer, not just a laborer he should talk business with :managers of oth- er businesses. Majority of city people are not interested in farm problems and do not un- derstand about price spreads. Don Buchanan invited the group next week. Most games, Mrs. Geo. Garter, Bert Hog- gart; lone hands, Mrs. (Harvey Taylor, Eric Anderson; consola- tion, Mrs. James 'Howatt, Joe Babcock. Euchre - Dance Sponsored by Seaforth W.I.

Children 50c Produced by special arrangement with Samuel French McKILLOP S. S. 'No. 2 Farm Forum meeting was held at Mr. and Mrs, •Secord McBrien's with 16 adults present. The forum top- ic was: •Is there a common eco- nomic meeting ground for' farm- er and labour? Farmers are cap- italists as well as labourers, also farmers are dependent soley on wages. We don't think the la-, hour members have equal say. Labour •members want to buy cheap food and ,farmers need more money. Can these differ- ences be overcome? If so, how? A thorough understanding of eadh other's problems might ov- ercome some of the difficulties but we feel that farmers should stand :together and fight for their own interest. The next forum meeting is to be at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Sam Mr- Clure. Prized , were won Iby: .$Jost games, Miss Pauline Dol - mage, Mr. Nelson 'McClure; 'lone hands, Mrs. Sam McClure, M2.
