school would definitely the community however Next meeting will be held at the home of Mr and Mrs A Berg on Jan uary Holt Forum on the other hand believes that for various rea sons such as community activi ties already organized a folk school would not be practical there They would prefer speakers on timely subjects and a discussion and debate to fol low The Farm Forum itself helps individuals to develop greater skills beneficial to the community The meeting was held at the home of Mr W F Hopkins and discussion leader was Mr A Harrison Twelve members were present The Dec meeting will not be

Sheldon Walker The forum felt that folk schools would be excellent for young people but that as most of the people in their community are older that short courses or night school ac tivities would be more suitable They suggested a back to church movement also that the practice of the golden rule would help to create more interest in community affairs Although many groups are not meeting at the
