Ducharme, who has been confined to his room from an at- tack of pleurisy, is on the mend and we wish him a speedy recov- ery. Mr. and Mrs. Ross Love hosted the Parr Line Farm Forum on Monday night with the subject for discussion, "Market Expan- sion". Question 1 — Do you think it is possible to increase Canada's ex- port trade? What products and how? The present premium on the Canadian dollar is one of the stumbling blocks to our export trade. We suggest that the gov- ernment try to bring our dollar down to par. We could export more wheat and barley by allow- ing imports of products from countries to which we wish to ex- port. Our high standard of living makes it difficult to export, We could use a larger portion of for- eign aid to dispose of surplus pro- jects. Question 2 — How can Canada's farmers adjust their production to fit the market demand? We believe that to control production there should be equalized defici- ency payments to each producer regardless of whether he is a small producer or a large produc- er. Control of production can only be done by farmers working to- gether in complete agreement. Euchre winners were: ladies, Mrs. Eldon Jarrott, Mrs. John Soldan; gents, Gordon Coleman, another.

But since it is already many years ago you will realize that it is not easy for me to bring about all the movements which took place from that gloomy November 9 to 13, which would have added great- ly to this article. Still a few mem- bers of this parish of that day are living and well remember the tragedy, and to them this writeup is as near correct as memory per- niitted. I am glad to be able to respond in writing to those who asked for it. In some way I feel it is beneficial to me also, for it brings back memories and incid- ents that my pal and I enjoyed together those many years ago. This is the last part of the Charrette tragedy story. I am glad that I was able to sum it to- gether as near as possible relating to it. In conclusion I am grateful to the editor of the Zurich Citizens News for the privilege and space given me in his paper and espec- ially at a time of year when much business is transacted through the column of his paper. The Charrette Tragedy (continued from last week) Last wek I had told you that I had quizzed the driver about the team of horses used that morning for the trip to St. Joseph. He told me they were the span of horses used for funerals and such occasions as this one. We then drove to the station to pick up the victim's father and the silent passenger for his home in St. Joseph. It wasthen broad daylight ,the sky was clear, and a rather cold morning. We placed the old gentleman on the front seat with the driver and well cov- ered with robes to keep warm. Frank Denomme and I sat on the coffin with some covering but could not keep warm. But when chillde we jumped off the car- riage and ran behind, say perhaps a mile or so, running on hard fro- zen gravel roads and here or there going over a little patch of slip- pery ice or snow. When doing so the driver held back his horses to ease the speed to a slower gait. In those years gone by there was little traffic on the gravel roadway and during our trip we perhaps met half a dozen vehicles. We arrived in St. Joseph around ten o'clock that morning. There was much I could think of when going through St. Joseph, for less than two months before I and my pal had left that Burg. To be ac- curate it was the 29th day of September, late in the evening, driving to Parkhill to board a train the following' morning for Port Huron, then boat to Alpena, then to Millersburg, from which burg our four years of rambling together ceased. Frank Denomme did not stop at his home on the way, which was second neighbour to the Charrette hone, but stay- ed by me and gave me all the help he could. Finally we reached the little log house where the grieved mother with one son and one daughter were in waiting. Neighbours were expecting us that morning, and when we were noticed a few came to offer their assistance. Already the room was in readiness accor- ding to the customs of the day, with some white sheets tacked on the wall to drane some part of the room. The father walked in the humble little home to join the mother and the other two mem- bers within, each one trying to console the other. All that was heart breaking, for they were among the poorest family in the parish, withtheir supporting son. The coffin was then carefully tak- en in the little home and placed on two chairs, one at foot and head and where the remains rest- ed, until the next day. A few members of the parish entered to offer their sympathy and consol- ing words to the bereaved family. Arrangements were then made for burial. the next day, which was Tuesday, November 30, when his body was taken to the parish church for service, then to his native parish church cemetery. A few neighbours followed the hearse on foot, which was travel- ling at a walk pace, as that also was the custom of the day.

After a lively discussion the questions were answered as follows. Question 1—Do you think it is possible to increase Canada's ex- port trade? What products and how? Answer. Our forum agreed that it is possible to increase Can- ada's export trade on pork, west- ern grain and eggs; by exchang- ing our farm products for items we need; by greater negotiations with foreign countries; by pro-. clueing and exporting only top quality products; and by deduct- ing two or three dollars per hog for exporting at a loss. Question 2—How can Canada's farmers adjust their production to fit the market demand? It is hard to adjust because of wea- ther conditions. We should have advisory boards to study markets and advise farmers which and haw much of each product to produce. The topic for the next meeting, which will be held on January 4, at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Cl- are Geiger, will be "The Problem of Adjustment" and will be taken by Clifford Pepper. A social hour was enjoyed, in- cluding an exchange of gifts and a treat of ice-cream. The meet- ing closed with the National An- them.
