Many years ago I remember of writing a letter for my father to one Mr. Burpee, a seedsman of. Philadel- phia, Penn., enquiring, amongst other things, how to pollenize corn to pro- duce a new type or variety. 1.became very much interested and never forgot that part of Mr. Burpee's let- ter in reply telling how to pollinate THE RED CROSS ,IT STRUCK.

MacKenzie, Chairman) For some reason (the propriety of which has yet to be proved) the writer has been asked to assume the chairmanship of this district for the pending annual Canadian Red Cross Drive. What I have to say will not be news to many of you. But the aver- age person, like myself, had a -well, a more or less hazy idea that the Red Cross Societies are necessary and commendable, but that they were getting along. We just threw in a dollar or so once in a while and corn to produce a new variety.

About forty mem- bers of the Groups East and West of Seaforth joined in a community sing song at the opening of the meeting, Mrs. Hillebrecht, who was in charge of the . meeting called on Mrs. Goudie for a reading, "School Days". Mrs. Nixon read a poem on the A.B.C.'s, Mr. Goudie then introduc- ed the subject of the evening, "The Rural Youth Problem," by reading from "Rural Life in ' Canada," by the Rev. J. McDougall. An excellent synopsis of the Farm Forum Radio broadcast on Monday evening was given by Mr. T. Govenlock. Four groups were formed for discussion.' It was decided that rural youth had many advantages over urban youth. Not the least of these is the fact that they belong to a more closely united family group, therefore there is little juvenile delinquency. There was considerable discussion on the subject of a community hall which should be situated in Seaforth. It was felt that there is a very real need for this and rest rooms for the benefit of those who live in the sur- rounding country.- The Forums were privileged to have Mr. Ballantyne of the Colleg- iate staff and Mr. Kinkead, school inspector, with them. Mr. Kinkead said that he was a regular attender of Farm Forums and felt that they were filling a vital need. He thought that they could do much' to arouse more interest -the education of our children, Ile stated that it was very difficult for a school board to func- tion to the best advantage when they received little co-operation or int- erest from the parents -or ratepay- ers. The annual school meetings could be better attended, he stated. He said that those in charge were 1927.8 and 9, Ipollinated the Burpee the peace.

He thought that we should urge our government to pay a large enough grant that country school teachers could be paid salaries conl- pnrable with those paid in urban centres. It was felt that Mr. Kinkead brought a better understanding of what our schools are endeavoring to do for the country through the edu- cation of its young citizens. Mr L.
