RAMER & SON -’hlue The Farm Forum topic on De- cember 5 was “Retirement Plan for Farmers". and the discuss- ions centred around the ques- tion of whether it was better for the farmer to retire from the farm or to remain on the farm. and how farmers should prepare for retirement. Edgeley Farm Forum was hel at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Pau Snider and the members were of the‘ opinion that while the man- ner of their retirement is a decis- ion each couple must make, the recommendation of the forum was not to retire on the farm but 0 move to a nearby town where .hey can live comfortably with- )ut greatly changing their patâ€" .ern of living. In order to adjust satisfactor- ily from an active to a quieter way of life. the forum members suggested the couple should be- come interested in a hobby or a part time job. An active interest in community affairs is an ex- cellent way to offset boredom, the forum advocated. The manner in which the far- mer finances his retirement is an individual matter, but the forum agreed in order to provide an adequate retiring income, the farmer must do some long term Special Service At New School The 144 pupils of Maple Public School last Monday began their studies at the new four-room school when a special service was held as part of the regular mornâ€" ing exercises.
