NO LETUP ON FARM Discharges from the armed forces at increased rates, labour released from war plants, the reconverfsion of war plants to peace time production and unrationed farm machinery are factors tending to ease the farm labour situation, states the Current Review of AgricuDtural Conditiiomls in Canada. The high levels of agri- cultural production achieved during the war years through the efforts of Canadian farmers with insuffi- cient labour and machinery have been phenonmenal. With sufficient labour and machinery, their efforts cannot be relaxed now that hostili- ties have ceased, says the Review. Food must be provided for the people of Europe until their own farm's are able to produce the neces- sities of life.

TH E BRITISH AMERICAN Ol L COMPANY LIMITED Make Recommendations At Springhill Forum Monday evening, a group of about 26 gathered at the home of Mr. and Mrs. J?mes Allen to listen to the weekly flarm forum broadcast. The difscussion centered around the ques- ticin of a satisfactory agreement be- tween a fathbr and son, who remains on the fawn. It was decided that the written agreement should state that all business be done on a 50% basis including the original investment. The forum then discussed ways and means of getting all fanners out to register and vote on the Hog Mark- eting Scheme and decided to mak<= everybody responsible for getting a.<; large a majority in favour as dos- teible. The third question dealt with attendance at the township nomina- tion on Friday, Nov. 30. The forum goes en record on making a strong effort to get lepresentation on the council from the southern part of the township. The next meeting will be at the home of Mr. and Mrs. W. Johnson. Lunch was served and the meeting adjoiurned. .VIeatless Day Restrictions Relaxed For Christmas and New Year's Meatles's day restrictions will bt Si;t aside for Chi-istmas and New Year's day, which will fall this year on regular meatless Tue'sdays. W Harold McPhillips. price's and sup- ply representative for the Western Ontario region of the Prices Board, said in making the annoucement that the amount of meat c;nsumed other than fowl on these two day â-  was relatively so small that the an- noyance caused by the regulation being maintained wolild be greater than the smaller saving would warrant.
