Tom Pryde, Huron MLA, 'who commented on the middle east crisis, said he believed the world iVas at the most critical stage irt its. history. "If oil is cut off from Britain and the rest of western Europe, they’re sunk and the rest of- the world with them.” Concerned over the division among the free nations of the world in the Egyptian situation, Mr.- Pry de said the maxim "united We stand, divided we fall,” was as important in world Affairs as it was in agriculture.

Township nomination meetings held to date have been for the most part poorly attended. ■ What price efficiency? was the • topic for discussion in the farm forum groups on Monday night. The first question to be consid ered was "In yptn- opinion, is the need for increased efficiency a ; major problem in Canadian agri- : culture?. And secondly, "Do you [ agree with the opinion that there Ar* too many farmers?” Par Line Forum The Parr Line farm forum met i at the home of Mr. and ,Mrs. , Howard Adkins, with 22 adults present. In answering the first question the secretary' reported’ "This group feels that with the present prices of farm products and the small margin of profit derived, the cost of increased ef ficiency could not be possible. We think there should be more emphasis on the marketing of our products, both domestic and for eign. An example.of this is in the fact that hog prices a year ago were around $23; this year hogs are $35, with more hogs on the market than one year ago. -This we feel is due to the fact that the Hog Marketing Agency has been - set up in Ontario. -Better efficien- ; cy in marketing is the need of the farmer.”’ This group thought that there were "too many farmers” but too many of them are not real grass root farmers. There are too many urban farmers such as ’ feed dealers, who are,,.going in' for production of hogs, cattle and ■ poultry. They considered this j type of faimier created surpluses ’ Whether there is a .profit in the enterprise or not. "Farming is a way of.life and should be left to farmers,” was their conclusion. After the discussion progressive euchre was played. The winners were Mrs.. Ross Broadfoot,, Mrs. Dave Bailey, Ivan Reichert arid j Ross Love. Elimville Farm Forum The Elimville forum met at the j home of Mr. and MrS. Allan | Johns with 17 present. This group thought that in creased efficiency on the farm was just as necessary as efficien cy in factories. ' "There are not too many farm ers to do the work” was the opin ion expressed by .thE forum mem bers, > Unique Farm F*rum The Unique forum met at the : home of, Mr. and Mrs. Carl Oes tricher, with 25 members present. Mr. Oestricher acted .as chair man and led in the discussion. The members of this group thought that the need for' in creased efficiency is a major problem. They did not feel that there were too many farmers. "We would, have more say in government if we had more farm ers,” they reported. More of- the farm labor is done by machinery was the opinion they expressed. Mr. Oestricher conducted a short recreation period. The next meeting will be held At the homd of Mr. and Mrs, Herb Klopp, iri the form of a Christmas party, With an exchange of gifts. Fairfield Fbrum The Fairfield forum met at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Elmer Powe with 27 members in atten dance. The groups were divided in their opinions but all agreed that cheaper production makes larger profits and this applied to all branches of farm operations. Some thought there were not, too many farmers as there is not too much surplus except in a few provinces. .If a poor crop were produced all the farmers _ would be needed to meet the demand. If there were too many farmers this would adjust itself in time as the older farmers pass on and many young ones move' to the city. Mr. And Mrs. George Hepburn will be hosts for the meeting next wfeek. Hillcrest Farm Forum- The members of Hillcrest for um met at the home of Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Paton with 20 in at tendance. . In two discussion groups it was agreed that increased effic iency was needed while the third group expressed the opinion that i it wasn.’t -a probleiri, of Any. im- I portanep. "What could be done I with the surplus?” was the com ment.I All three groups thought there I were riot too many farmers pro vided those, who are already on, thfe.fafm, stay but . the high wages and shorter' hours of Uie I city worker is attractive.
