ture produces in the spring of the year,
and in other seasons.. We have the
copious harvests which leave promise
of more to come in the next planting

We have no huge problems with

religious beliefs • live in harmony, side
by side.
We have a great similarity even
in political wants. This may pose a
problem for candidates in election time,
but lead to friendly feelings between
the people who -live and work here.
This area has been remarkably free
from -the tribulations of unemployment.
Some of this may be due to the fact
that people without jobs tend to go to
the city to look for work, leaving a
good balance between jobs available,
and people in the area.. But on the
other hand the economy here is thriv-
ing: Businesses .existant are doing well.
Farms are producing as much profits
for their owners as probably anywhere
in Canada—though we accept the fact
that, their share of the nation's wealth
is not as good as it could' be.
. Somehow it seems evident that
candidates in the June 18 election will
have to look sharp to find any issues
on which to base their campaign which
will have much effect upon the "un-
decided" voters.
There are three contestants in the
field. We look forward to the hectic
month ahead as their campaigns un-
fold. Perhaps an evening -in the col-
