No. 2, McKillop Farm Forum met at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Walter Scott this week. Topic for discussion, "The Farm- er and the Urban Worker, which is the better off?" The radio broadcast presented both sides of the picture fairly well. Turn- ing to our local groups, question. 1A, What factors do you think should be considered in deciding which is the better off, farmer or urban worker? We list, secur- ity, health, happiness and con- tentment, steady employment labor union headaches, cost of living, working hours, family life, fluctuating prices, and pride of occupation. Taking these factors into con- sideration, which of the two groups do you feel is the better off? We say the farmers are the better off. Question 2. H,ow do you think farmers and urban workers might get to understand each others viewpoints and problems better. One -group suggests through the Federation of Agri- culture and the Labor ,Unions,. another says, intelligent discus- sion .between individuals, and another says exchange •of occu- pation for a short period to get the actual facts. Summing Tip. we say that in the larger cities, especially in the factories mis- understanding is still quite pre- valent, but in the towns and vil- lages such is not the case. Our social hour was spent in progres- sive euchre: Prize winners were ladies most games, Mrs, Ellwood Clarke; lone hands, Mrs. Sam Storey; consolation, Mary Thom- pson. Gent's most gains, Tom McMillan; lone 'hands, Sam Storey; consolation, William Storey. Next meeting will be at the home of Mr. and Mrs. 'Se- eord McBrien. e less operators with a dial sys- tem.

Mr. Challies said the Ontario Government is going to buy out the small phone com- panies; I think that may be up to 200 phones." Mr. Kellar sup- plied the information that there are a lot of systems with 25 or 30 phones in the province. Mr. Eckert said it was easy 'to see now that our forefathers should have been farsighted enough in 1908 to have taken in Seaforth in the McKillop sys- tem. n1i;;. A 3tion by, Lewrs?olton and Stewart IDolmage that' commis: sioners' salaries 'be the same as last year, was carried.
