HURON-BRUCE FORUM The Huron-Bruce Boundary Forum met on Monday evening, January 10, at the. hollie of Mr. and Mrs. Ross King, with an attendance of 17. Andy McKague acted as discussion leader. The topic for discussion was "A Matter of Policy" and in the dis- cussion that followed our Forum agreed that we got good value for our money in fire insurance because it af- 'fords the farmer "good protection in case of misfortune at a small cost. Likewise, automobile insurance,, be- cause without it a farmer would lose all of his savings if he met with an automibile accident. When farmers take out life insur- ance the purpose in mind is a form of protection for their loved ones and as a means of security in time of need. Most farmers do not buy life insur- ance because they cannot afford it as there are so many other investments to be made. Mr. and Mrs. Oscar Holmes invited the Forum to their home for the next meeting on January 17. The discussion leader gave a hum- orous reading' which was much enjoy- ed and Jane McKague then favored with a recitation, "If I Had A Hund- red Dollars".
