cession roads had a telling effect On
both the exhibits and attendance at.

tions, however, there was a good dis-
play ' of exhibits .which the judge pro-
nounced as good as any he had seen
in the .Province this year, and also

luck this year, as every 'seed fair he:
had judged had •a very reduced entry,
some as much as half,and even the,
recent Provincial Fair at Toronto" was
no exception.

Mark 25th Anniversary
One .of the most interesting Farm
Radio Forums of the series was ,held
at the home of George Campbell on
Monday evening. William,Storey was
chairman and introduced Dr. E. A.
McMaster, who spoke on;,"A Plan For
Hospital Care" and. other 'health ser-
ies: The speaker advocated that
more attention be given to this very
essential part of community activi-
ties.
Dr. McMaster explained several
plans for community healt'h.services,
including the proposed plan ' for a
form of state medicine, under consid-,
eration by the present session of par-
liamen' He stressed .the need} -,,,.,";.or
school nurses end. the necessity for
corrective , measures—measures being
taken With those children found to
be physically deficient. His explana-
tion of a plan for "prepaid. hospital-
ization" was of particular interest to
,the. group, epee;lViycllsiter's speech
was ofeapeciah,.lntee,est, because of the,
fact that the fosum.' ie discussing the
Ken projeect,.: The Municipal Doctor
S-ystaiffa?° A'4ieai`tg-=,cite. oP "Chaut'cs
was tendered to the speaker at the
Close of his address.
The general. topic for the forum
]vas "Selling Together.". Those- pres-
ent have not had much experiduce
with co-operative selling and it was
rather bard to decide on some of the
questions under discussion. It was
felt, however, that the primary pro-
ducer was not getting a large enough
share of the consumer's "dollar. Some
of the- -services • -in - connection.- -wit
distribution and' processing agricul-
tural products" were thought to be ex-
cesve, and it was' the opinion of the
forum that some form of .co-operative
selling cia?organized bargaining would._
eliminate some 9f theseundesirable
features. The question of ,a strong
producers, . Organization - victimizing
consumers was taken to be a remote
possibility if the management Was , ef-
ficient and far-seeing.
At the close of the meeting -a bas-
ket of 'articles was sold by "Chinese
auction" .and the sum of $10.30 was
reali'ze.de..This fund is to be used to
send 'cigarettes to men in tbe armed
forces overseas.
The next forum on Monday, March
9, will be at Mac Scott's with. John
Kerr as chairman. _
