Meeting at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Elmer Powe, 26 mem­ bers of Fairfield Farm Forum 'agreed that free trade with the United States in some products, such as machinery which came from the U.S. free of duty, was been beneficial to Canada. How­ ever, free trade for all farm pro­ ducts would injure the sale of some of our goods such as vege­ tables, some kinds of fruit, cattle and hogs. Seme members warmly ex­ pressed the opinion that the long time effect on Canada as a whole, if we had complete free trade with the United States in all products, would not be bene­ ficial to Canada. In summing up, the members felt we should stand on our own feet. Our country is just begin­ ning to wake up. With its won­ derful resources and the St. Lawrehce Seaway, when com­ pleted, Canada will go ahead on a gteat wave of future prosperity without free trade with the U.S. “Do you ever lose yourself in your work?” ‘■Oh, yes!” “What is your work?” “Exploring central Africa.” * Receives Appointment Mr. Lome Hay, of Hensail, was appointed secretary-treasurer of South Huron Agricultural So­ ciety at a meeting of the direct­ ors held in Hensail, to replace Dick Etherington who resigned.
