Forum Conference Largely Attended The annual Farm Forum Confer- ence for Grey County was held in thp Town Hall, Flesherton, on Monday evening and Tuesd'ay afternoon. Oct. 6 and 7, with a splendid program presented at both sessions. On Mon- day evening, Mr. Ed Lang, Feder- aition of Agricultiire Fieldman pres- ided and spoke briefly and introduced Mr. Norman Lindsay of Toionto Director of Community Programs, who led the gjathering in a rollickinir sing-song with the words and music being thi-own on the screen. He also explained the value of singing and music, how to. conduct sing-songs, roxmds, part singing, etc. Addresses were given by Mr. Clare Burt of To- ronto, the new Provincial Farm For- um Secretary and Mr. M- A. Gar- land of London, Director of Adult Education. The gathering then west to the basement where Miss Louise Colley, Recreational Director for Simcoe County led them in a most enjoyable "Play Party." There were games, songs, folk dances, etc. She also explained the value of recrea- tion and how to conduct it as they went along. At the session on Tuesday after- nooai, Mr. Wes MagTvood, Federa- tion «f Agriculture Secretary for Grey County, presided, and addresses were given- by Mr. Clare Burt, Provincial Forum Secretary and Mr. Wm Mc- Carthy of Shelburne .Chairman of tbe Provincial Farm- Forum Exec- utive and Fieldman ft)r Dufferin County- Both addresses were except- ionally woirth while and dealt with Farm Forum and the problems '>' rural living. An hour was then spent in divising plans to forward the in terests of Flarm Forums during tiht^* coming season, which start-s on Nov- ember 3rd. Money For Libraries Is Money Well Spent Dr. J. G. Althouse, chief director of education, in addressing the Sim- coe County Libi-ary Association at Barrie, stated that this year the pro- vincial treasury is spending more than five times as much on libraries as it did in 1SW4- This is one instance in which i: creased expenditure should not annoy taxpayers- Mon«y spent on libraries is money well spent. Such expenditures can be particu- larly valuable when it serves to in- crease library facilities in the rural communities. In tihe larger centres there already exist well-stocked pub- lic libmries. Then, too, imost of these cities and towns have privately- operated' lending lilbraries. Even if no such libraries existed, it would still be m^lchâ-  easier for urban resi- dents to bonxiw ibooks fi-oon friends and acquaintances, than is the case in the counftry- Slipping around the block to a friend's home for a book on an evening is an easy walk in town, but if you 'have to walk a counti'y block to get a book the chance is you will stay at home. Orne of the most encouraging fea- tures of the increased expenditure for lilbraries is tihe fact that the need' of the rural communities for librar- ies is being recognized and met. As yet, however, only a start has been made in providing the services r quired. Much work remains to be done. All should encourage the Gov- ernment to continue with its pro- gram. â€" Sun-Times.

Aged^Osprey Man Was Lost In^Marsh .r. â-  (By Stephens Corners Reporter) Once again on Friday night tbe friends and neighbors of this comr munity were called upon tu take part in a search for a missing penon, this time for an 84-year-old man, Mb. David Winters, who had disappeared from his home. This marked th« second time in less than a week that this coanmunity was sumimimoned to hunt a missing party â€" ^last Sunday night aid Monday morning for litli* two and a ha'f year old Heifois McM^ater. Mr. Winters, who ig in goo^ healtii but suffers from lapse of meonoiy, is in tbe habit of going for a walk ervery day and usually returns haaM by supper time- When he had no4 returned his son, Clarence, wttil whiom he resides, becaime alaimed and started out to look for hinu On learning thai he had been seen on the Third Line at four o'clock, sol*- posed to be making his way to the home of his daughter at Wareham, it was feared that he had become confused and had made the wroa^r turn. Before long a large numbeir of men were out on the search. After combing the roads and fields, the searchers decided to turn their hunt to the huohleberry marsh and it yn» here tbat the aged man was found after he had answered the calls of his son, Clarence. Mr. Winters was on bis hands and knees, still holdjng; his cane, but other than being tired, seemed to be as good as usual. It was in thic same marsh that Mr. Winters' mother was lost some thirty-two years ago and was nerer found. Artemesia F, A.
