Fireside Farm Forum
(By Mrs, William Dolmage)
The Fireside Farm Forum of
Hullett, met on Monday evening,
at the' home of Mr, and Mrs. Eric
Anderson, with a rather small at-
tendance, possibly due to dis-
agreeable weather. •
The essay on "safe driving" was
discussed and a plan was outlined,
The period of discussion dealt with
the situation arising from a fath-
er-son partnership. Co-operation
is the first essential and after that
there shodld be a mutual under-
standing in temperment Both
father and son should be willing
and able to give and take. They
should not have any business sec-
rets.
For income tax purposes, ar-
rangements should take a legal
slant, but as long as both are
willing to co-operate a verbal
agreement - should suffice.
There are several families in
this forum with father and son
agreements,
.Several games of euchre were
enjoyed and prizes were: high,
Mrs. H. Taylor, Bert Hoggart;
lone hands, Mrs. J. Howatt, Mar-
ilyn Riley; consolation, Mrs. J.
Babcock and Elda Riley,
A delicious lunch, concluded an
enjoyable evening. The next meet-
ing is to be held at the home of
Mr. and Mrs, Bert Hoggart.
