No. 9, Hulled, met Monday evening at the home of Walter Wagner, with 24 members present. After listening to the broadcast," a short discus- sion took place with Mrs. Tom Ilag- gitt leading on Co-ops in Canada. A social hour was enjoyed with euchre and • lost heir. Prize- winnervat euchre were: high lady, Mrs. Elliott Lapp; low lady, Joseph Verewey (playing as lady); high man, Earl Youngblut; low man, Tom Cunningham. , • PARR LINE FORUM Parr Line Farm Forum met at Adkins. The topic was on co-ops in Canada, "What's Next in Co- ops?" After, listening to- the broadcast, the foruin divided into groups and Services? --Forums discussed the questions in the pamphlet. The very considerable development of co-operative en- terprise in Canada and abroad dur- ing this century has come about because many thousands of peo- ple in their own communities have studied and taken action to solve problems and meet recognized needs. The co-operative movement still depends on men and women who are prepared to think and act. 1. What new service should the Co-operative in your community undertake next? We think that should be a co-op feed mill in Hensall. There is one in Zurich and Brucefield, but they are too far apart. These co-ops are all associated with one another. We think that there should be a co-op egg grading station in Hehsall al- so. Hensall is the' head of these co-ops, and so we feel the egg grad- ing Station should be there. .2. Generally Speaking, and in the larger view, what fields appear most fruitful for co-operative ex- pansion? The co-ops in this dis- trict have proven most fruitful in their expansion in ,the various fields such us the fertilizer, petro- leum, feed. co-op auto insurance, hospital insurance, etc. 3. Mainly with reference to question one, what special atten- tion should be given to problems such as financing and member ed- utation?' Special attention should bes,given to the organizing of a Credit Union. This, we believe, would be of great value to the co- ops and its patrons. We think al- so that There should be better member education and keep them informed on what the co-op is do- ing. • Winners of progressive euchre were: ladies, Mrs. Eldon Jarrott and Mrs. Charles Robinson; gents, Caen Weido and Orland Reichert. The ...neXt meeting will be held 'at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Stew, art BlackWell. The topic for' dis- cussion vcrill be, "The Gordon dom, Medan:" • , S45. 2. POlf, Y'4-cet um. when 18 adults were present. The forum topic was. "What's Net in Co-op," and in answer to the question, "What Service in your community should be under- taken next under Co-operative," some were interested in groceries and gasoline and oil from Hensall. The question', "What plans ap- pear most fruitful for co-operative expansion?" was answered by, in- surance fields, and in turn- Co-op financing through Credit Union, etc. In reference to the question, "What special attention should be given to problems. such as financ- ing and member education." the forum suggested by attending the Ontario Agricultural College or Universities extension courses for train.ing to be co-op managers and personnel. Prize winners for the evening were: most games, Mrs. Secord McBrien and Robert McMillan; lone hands. lVLrs. Stewart Dolmage and Nelson McClure; consolation. Mrs. Thos. McMillan and Thos. McMillan, The next forum meeting will be held at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Nelson McClure, JUVENILES TAKE THIRD Seaforth Topnotch Juveniles pull- ed the third game of their best -of - seven series out of the fire by edging Listowel 6-5 Saturday.
