Eleven families with 15 children are intending to form such a community provided tho provincial government will grant them land for the purpose. The Calgary City Council has agreed to supply to these unemployed famil- ies relief grants for a year. Their rent allowance which the city of Cal- gary has been paying will he applied to the purchase of lumber and build- ing materials. The fathers of the 11 families are experts in a number of trades In- cluding carpentry and poultry raising, and they will exchange their services in establishing the co-operative com- munity. The wives will be just as ac- tive as their men folk in furthering the community plan and will help each other with dressmaking, light gar- dening, canning, pickling and other household accomplishments. is known to admirers of her poetry, for the signal honor accorded her in her nomination for the Novel prize for literature by the Swedish critic,' Florence, Loretta and Jessie Whelan, recently became bridea in a triple wedding at St. Charles Church.
