No. 2, McKillop Farm Forum met this week at the home of Mr. and Mrs, Ellwood Clarke with an attendance of 24. Subject under discussion, Public Relations. The Radio Broadcast stressed the fact that not enough information concern- ing the Federation was getting back to the individual farmer, al- though the Rural Co-operator does carry a good deal of the activities of the Federation, and can be read by any who so de- sire. Then coming to our own groups, we say, first, be sure we are well informed ourselves be- fore we attempt to present our problems to others, then thor- ough discussion by farmers and urban people alike on all mat- ters by which both may obtain benefits; also continue report- ing the activities of our farm forum in the local papers and on the radio. Three of our group SOY we should give the Federa- tion more support, while two I'moups say that we have not got alue for money already spent, and regarding the change in Broadcast time, we are in favor of having the farm broadcast during; the noon hour which is more convenient to farmers. Progressive euchre results: La- dies winners—Mrs. Stewart Dol - mage, Elsie Storey. Men: Wayne Doimage. Sam McClure, Robert McMillan. Next meeting will be at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Sam Storey, and will feature Farm Marketing abroad. CROMARTY Cromarty Farm Forum met on Monday evening with the larg- est attendance this season. Fol- lowing are the comments expres- sed by the members on the dis- cussion period. It was thought that town and country people should get together more in or- der to understand each better. We think our agricultural fairs are a great help in getting town and farm people together. Our community Farm Forum Review night are another way. We think more town people should be ask- ed to join our Farin Forum dis- cussion, If daylight saving time makes the town people happier farmers will go along with then, although it is of no use to the farmer. We also think-C,K.N.X. Radio Station, Wingham, is do- ing a very good job with having the interviews with the different agricu lit u r a 1 (representatives, Field Men, etc. Winners of euchre were: La- dies high, Mrs. Bert Riley; low, Mrs. T. Laing. Gents high, John 1Ioggarth; low, Filmer Chapple. Lone hands, Filmer Chapple. Mr. and Mrs. Bert Riley were in charge of the affair. PARR LINE The Parr Line Farm Forum was held at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Robinson with 25 members present. A discussion was held on the topic, " A Pub- lic Relations Program, (a) It was agreed by most members that if we are to have better relations with urban groups, we, the farmer should be well informed first of all, then a public relations delegate should be sent from every farm organization to meet with the various urban groups. This Forum feels that there is a better understanding between the farmer and his local village or town due to the closer con- tact between both groups. But the same vests not true for the larger cities where much could be done to enlighten and improve misunderstanding especially in relation to the problems of the farmer. (2) In regards to getting a better i u f or m e d community through the local weekly, we find that there is excellent co-opera- tion on the part of the weekly press. Farm Forums reports, Fed- eration of Agriculture reports and activities have been well covered by the local press. The local radio station has shared in publicity and service for many farm organizations, much of the time is free, Our township of Hay collects 2/6 of a mill for Federation purposes. We think that it should be raised at least another 1/5 of a mill, This would provide the extra money for a public rela- tions program by the Federation of Agriculture. Euchre winners were: Ladies, Miss Ruth Ann Jarrett. Gents, Gordon Love. Lunch. was served by the ladies. Next meeting at the hone of Wilfred Mousseau. HULLETT On Feb. 7th 22 members of the Fireside Farm Forum met at the hone of Mr. and Mrs. Man- sell Cook to discuss public rela- tions. These relations could be improved by meetings held with producers and consumers, Farm- ers should avoid going to town with dirty clothes and shoes as it gives a lower impression of country people. We should in- vite more town people to our meetings. Radio Stations give much talk of interest to farmers and we think urban people should listen. The hour for these farms broadcasts should be at a time when the majority of farm- ers, and urban people would be in the house to listen. Farm groups. should report their find- ings to local newspapers. We thank the radio station and our local papers for the time and space they give us. The groups were divided in opinion as to their willingness to provide more funds for a more adequate public relations program. Many believe if we spent more for ad- vertising we would have more interest in the cause and reap more benefits, while others thought if there were a large sum of money available it might not be used to the farmers' ad- vantage, If all local forums and farm groups made an honest at- tempt to promote public rela- tions it would eventually influ- ence the provincial and dominion relations. This would be more effective than money received The SaIvatio Army "FAMILY SUNDAY" This week ! February 13, 1955 We welcome to Seaforth, from London, Ontario, Major and Mrs. J. D. Sharp, and fancily.
