BEST WELC M • ONE of Canada's continuing needs is more - people. There is still room for many millions more than we now have. The ' best welcome we can give to those who come to Canada from other countries is to have here a country where there are: 1. Political freedom 2. Economic freedom 3. Incentive for the ambitious 4. A, legitimate reward for all willing and able to work. We,,must be able to show newcomers that Canada is a better as well as a bigger country than the one they came from. ' THE STEEL COMPANY OF CANADA LIMITED MONTREAL GANANOQUE HAMILTON BRANTFORD TORONTO (DY 'VS 1C+, iCAINgra, RCAF .St4titm Clinton), Although. thundershowers were 'forecast - for the night of the 18th and 19th of NOvernber for the lake Huron Region, none ,occured in the region at that time, However lightning and thunder were respon- sible for the destruction of property on a 'farm near Stratfordville' in able for the destruction of property on a farm near Straffordville in the southwest part of the province on the night of the 20th of Nov- say the least, the frequency of occurrence of thunderstorm activity for the month of November in this region has been seven thunderstorms from TM to 1957, with the greatest occurrence being two which oc- curred during the month of November 1955, at Centralia, From the information gathered it appears that the month of November 1957 has been slightly ceoler' than, November of 1956i, but with K. greator amount of precipitation both in the form of rain and snow, The November 1957 rainfall exceeded the November 1956 rain- fall by ,67" and the November 1957 snowfall exceeded the November 1956. snowfall by 4.2", The greatest snowfall for any one day during November of 1956 was 3.5" which occurred on the 22nd, and the great- est snowfall for- any one day during November was 7.5" which occur- red on the 9th, 1,957. During November of 1957 there were 23 days in which the imum temperature registered 32° or lower as compared to 24 days for the sarne'period of 1956, Also during November of 1957 there Were 7 days in which the maximum temperature failed to register above 32° as compared to 8 days for the same period in 1956. In summary we find that even though the month of November 1957 'has proven to be slightly cooler than the month of November 1.$56, the fact remains that on the average the 11 month period has been warmer by 0.2° and also less rain arid more snow has fallen.
