Members were agreed that there was not equal- ity for women now hut the wom- en 'did not seem to,feel that they wanted to accept • full equality with men including their respon- sibilities: Fairfield Forum • In answer to the first question as to "What inequalities have bothered you?" Fairfield Forum members reported "Husband and wife build a home together, work equally hard bu.t the law gives the husband sole control of the monies they both have earned. A unanimous "no"'was the answer to both of the next two questions: "Would you accept 'full, equality with men?" and "Are . you willing to sacrifice your privileges as a, woman to obtain equality?" Asto the changes they wanted to see to obtain equality they said "Legal right to joint own- ership in what both have earned jointly. She should be his part- ner just as a partner in a busi- ness firm." They'.'inet at the home of Mr. and- Mrs. George Hepburn and next week Mr. and Mrs. Welling- ton Haist will be hosts for a Christmas party to which mem- bers are asked to bring books for c'arolsainging.

Is Members of 'Hillcrest Farm Forum meeting at the home of Mr and Mrs Newton Wasnidge tight I -he broadcast o which they listened "amusing if not edueational." They divided into two groups, the men vs. the women for dis- cussion. The men's group re- called the' statement of L. Mont- gomery, author of the famous "Anne" books, "I do not seek equality with men; I prefer to keep my superiority." The secretary- -reports "We be- lieve if women want equality they will have to come clown off the high pedestal' on which men have kept them for a long time and it Will be a terribje come- down. for them. The men cli- maxed their discussion with this truism. If you would live in gentle peace at home and love your wife; If you would like to gel along without doniestic strife; If you would dodge the Many jars along life's double track; Just let your wife say all she wants but don't . talk back. The 'women in their group re- port "The one inequality which burns us is - that, if anything goes wrong when the men are responsible it could not be helped but let the same thing happen to the wife it is a different story — she is careless, stupid, inef- ficient.

Should Co-op Sell Carcasses? alk New Ho Would Ontario hog producers solve their marketing problems by slaughtering all ", bogs and selling carcasses to the trade? This - idea was advanced. by Charlie Melnnis, the Ontario president, in speeches to farm groups in Iowa and Kansas last week. He said the proposal bad been "suggested" to the board. Although he didn't elaborate on the. plan, it would appear that the obvious advantages would be immediate slaughter, thereby reducing shrinkage, and a better bargaining position, since carcasses could be with- held, from the processors much, longer 'than the Jive product in the event of price disagreement. Producers Back Present Plan Meanwhile, the controversy over the present marketing plan continues in high gear. • At Toronto, county delegates of the provincial producer s' group defied' Agricultural Mini- ster Goodfellow's attempts to modify, the present marketing system by resolving to make no changes in it: While their decision may have 'been premature since no definite proposal has been forthcoming from the minister's talks with producer and meat packing of- ficials, the delegates indicated they weren't -very happy with the idea of someone tampering with a system they have worked years. to put into effect. At the producers' in eating, Charlie 'McInnis and other mem- bers of the executive put, the blame on the Meat Packers Council of Canada for the new Marketing .proposals and the secret meetings connected with them... The secret meetings in Toronto' have ,drawn consider- able criticism from producers, including those in Huron who protested the private talks at the annual meeting of the Fede- ration last month, McInnis told the producers that .the packers' cpuncil was trying to gain a better advan- tage by proposing, san auction 'System.

During a long discussion, mem- bers indicated they are satisfied with the- present system of sell- ing. Vice-chairman C.

E-40er Farm Equip.nr-serit EXETER., 'ONTARIO Schemes that the present Marketing sys- tem is enabling producers to get up to $40,000 a week more for their hogs. Agriculture Minister Goodfel- low .• shed sonic light on the packers' plan in a statement last week. Under the proposed system, information on sales lots would he relayed by teletype to auction rooms, with confirmation of sales by teletype to the yards together with shipping instructions. The producers' agency didn't like this plan because, obvious- ly, only the largest, probably six or seven, of the packing plants would be presented at such an auction.. Producers want all of the 35 packers bidding on the hogs to ensure top price. The producer o ficials suggest- ed that the smaller companies might be able to telephone 'their bids but the council. objected that' they would have a special advantage since it would assure them- of the last opportunity to bid. The council agreed, however, that an efficient system of tele- phone bidding could he worked out whereby both those, present at the auction and those- operat- ing by telephone could compete on an equal basis. The minister said members of the marketing board are now studying the proposal for com- bining an auction and telephone system of bidding and that their findings will be submitted to another meeting this month.

Who? • You know, I always had the idea that it was little boys that came up with` all .the questions that you couldn't answer, but re- cently I have begun to change my mind, and any minute I'll have to change tactics also, and know some of the answers. It happened the other morn- ing — oh, it, must have been week before last, because last week I spent in bed being waited on hand and foot by four he - males from four to forty, and a couple of little shemales not quite five and not quite six. Oh, what a wonderful feeling — at least after the first two day, those I don't want to remember. Anyway, to get back to this morning, the going on six and I were doing breakfast dishes, and talking away idly as people do when all of a sudden a small bombshell hit me square in the Huron.

Not believing my ears — and mostly because I had not answered the question im- medrately — I got a repeats - "Mummy, if God made all the earth and everything on it — WHO MADE GOD"? All right, you answer a ques- tion like that at 8:30 a.in. After a horrible morning of everyone not wanting porridge aftet it was made — of everyone being a lit- tle lee getting away to work or school, of not having enough sweet stuff to go into enough lunch boxes --- oh, just, that kind of morning. Then finally getting calmed down and gently starting into day's list of duties, to have something like that thrown, no burled, -into your rate. Could you find an answer on the spur of the moment — the only time youngsters expect an answer. Well, I couldn't either. I probably looked .like a goldfish in a pool trying to get something out, but finally even I had the grace not to try to find one and admitted that I didn't know for sure. SeP-eral ,times -during the' past -days this question has come be- fore my mind again; and' I• still haven't found an answer. And looking back a good many years I can't remember anyone giving me the answer. If I'd ever heard it I know I'd have never forgot- ten it.
