Roy The season for Annual Farm, meetings is just around the: corner The annual County meet­ ing has been set for November 23rd in Clinton, with the an­ nual Banquet in Seaforth the same evening. Farm Radio Forums will go into action on November 1st. Rian to get your forum off to a good start. The writer just returned recently from a week’s tour of the State of Ohio, and had the privilege of sitting in at one pf their Advisory Coun­ cil meetings, which are much the same ad our farm forums. These Councils meet once a month the year round. Ohio has 1500 Advisory Councils, the membership is invited and is not open to everyone in the neighborhood, consequently the groups are possibly more con­ genial. The meeting starts with roll call and the reading of the minutes of the previous meet­ ing. Then the Chairman calls on the discussion leader to take charge of the discussion guide, but the Council of ten ignore the guide and discuss local problems, which to them seem more important. A collec­ tion is taken for the group's own activities. The council pro­ gram is financed by the Ohio Farm Bureau, each member of the Bureau pays $5.Ob member- ' ship fee annually, which covers Advisory Council expenses." The meeting concludes with lunch and usually finishes before mid­ night. Mrs. Lloyd Taylor, of Exeter, Chairman of the County Women Directors is striving to have a woman directoi’ appointed in each School section, with the sincere hope that these women directors will attend township directors meetings, and make their voice heard in striving to improve rural health and better living conditions for all rural people. The men usually devote their time and energies to ec­ onomic problems and with more women in the Federation we should have a stronger all round organization.
