Hillcrest Farm Forum Hillcrest farm forum met on Monday evening, December 7, at the home of Mr .and Mrs. Gor­ don Banting in Lucan with 20' present. Questions for discus­ sion were: (1) Do you think the 4-H Clubs and other youth programs in your province have been suc­ cessful in producing community and farm organization leaders? The answer was: We think that 4-H Clubs and Junior. Farmer organizations have been success­ ful in producing leaders. (2) Some people say that if .a young man is a good farmer he is making sufficient contribution to the community without taking part in farm or other community organizations. What do you think? The answer was: A young man should take an interest and play an active part in farm and other community organizations. It would help him to be unseL fish and more broadminded. (3) How can the interest of young people be developed in . such problems as Canadian pub­ lic affairs and international re­ lations? The answer was: By join­ ing Junior Farmer organizations, public speaking contests and by taking part as trustees and coun­ cillors. After the discussion, Mr. Earl Atkinson gave a report of the Federation of Agriculture ban­ quet held at Ilderton Wednesday.
