ForumsSeekMeans To Aid Community FIRESIDE FORUM Seventeen adults gathered at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Dal- ton Monday for the regular farm forum meetine. Topic •under dis- cussion was "Rural Communities." The forum felt that the area covered by Fireside Fort= would be about 10 square miles, populat- ed by about 25 to 45 families. Sociability, neighborliness and social activities were considered points that make a good commun- ity. However, it was felt that banding together of some persons In' religious aspects sometimes tended to keep them away from social activities. The forum felt. that:there, were plenty of activities in the, com- munity for the younger people. Next meeting wighe held at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Oliver An- derson. Euchre winnerl were: high, Mrs. Bert Hoggart and Oli- ver Anderson; lone hands, Mrs. Joe Babcock and Mrs. Eric An- derson; low, Mrs. George Carter and Joe Babcock. PARR LINE FORUM This forum thought their com- munity would also cover about 10 square miles, including the closest towns. It would contain about 40 famffies. The forum felt that the differ- ence in' a good community could be obtained by applying the- "gold- en rule" and be a good neighbor, then it was thought they 'would have good neighbors. Other things which work toward the good of the community are the churches, Wo- men's Inatitute4 , 441 Clubs and community centres. Parr Line 'Edna met at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Eldon Jar- rott with 19 adults in attendance. They thought..,tha,t the forum had helped the rneMbeti get better ac- quainted. They also thought that good roads were a necessity for a good coinninnity. Regarding a cit'i va.'t i e s, they thought that the majority of the young people in the area covered by this %rill* ;,Were too small to take, part in outside activities.
