Parr Line Farm
Forum
Parr Line Farm Forum met on
Monday night at the home of Mr.
and Mrs. Stewart Blackwell. The
subject was "Land Acquisition."
Question' 1—Have you had any
experience with any part of Land
Acquisition?
Answer — Some of the Forum
have had experience with the De-
partment of Highways and the
results seem to be. satisfactory.
Question 2—What part can farm
organizations play in representing
farmers in meeting land acquisi-
tion problems?
Answer—We believe. they should
have more voice, to be more ef-
fective in changing legislation,
with a reasonable approach, to the
farmer's problems. We feel far too
many 'eV expropriations are sign-
ed -by' farmers who never take re-
course to their farm organizations
such as Federation of Agriculture,
which can give valuable assistance.
Question 3—What do you rec-
ommend further to assist farmers
in obtaining satisfactory 'settle-
ment of acquisition problems?
Answer—We Ue1ieve if we had
an impartial valuator to see if the
farmer is getting 'what he should,
such as Federation of Agriculture
or Real Estate Agents. We believe
there should also be a speed up
in the settlement of such things.
Euchre winners were: Ladies,
Mrs. Howard Adkins, Mrs. Charles
Robinson. Gents, Glen Weido, Ch-
arles Robinson.
The next meeting will be at the
home 'of Mr. and Mrs. Keith Love.

The Groundhog
The little hibernating animal,
known as the groundhog, who so
accurately gave us the weather
forecast for the past six weeks,
should soon come out of his under-
ground cave, where we believe he
has taken his last sleep for this
winter.
It is nearly six weeks since he
made his last appearance in the
open, and being so scared of his
shadow returned to his ` cave for
his second sleep, which kept him
away from daylight. On the second
day of February most people had
their eyes turned to the sun in a
southerly direction. Whether' or
not they took an interest in the
old legend, they did so to follow
the crowd. Anyway, most people
have confidence in the prophecy
of the groundhog; there is nothing
wrong or out of place for anyone
to affiliate his ideas to signs and
signals. Both of them have long
existed in the past, and both have
proven their worth at times. This
groundhog theory was brought to
America years ago by Dutch im-
migrants. They are firm believers
in the idea, and they base their
plans for the future in the idea.
There is not much we can say
just yet, but we believe the winter
is well cracked and due for a
break in less than the next fort-
night.
