ity Council will make plans for a UN
control and inspection agency, which
will be subject to any vote; and atom
bombs and other weapons of mass de-
struction will be outlawed.
The Session was also notable be-
cause the attitude of the Russians be-
came more co-operative than in the
past, and they showed more respect for
the Assembly. Disappointing features
of the session were the failure to take
any positive stand against the misuse
of the veto, and the weak motion re-
conimending a general diplomatic
breach-with Spain. •

To tfie Editor:—Never probably in the
history of this country, have the de-
mands Made upon the strength, time
and patience of our postoffice officials
and express agents, been greater than
this year. Tb,e, rush and labour in the
Wingbam postoffice has been intense,
and must have) been an exceeding
strain upon the lady attendants, in
their cramped and crowded apart-
ments; r and yet their wok has been.
done in a most kindly and obliging
way. We desire to render them this
public recognition of their services,
and our grateful thanks.—Yours, W. G.

LIEUTENANT-GOVERNOR
LAWSON
On December 26th., Ontario will
have a new Lieutenant-Governor. Mr.
Ray Lawson of London, will succeed
Mr. Matthews as Lieutenant-Govern-
or. His selection was announced re-
cently by Prime Minister King, Hon.
Albert Matthews ably upheld the tra-
ditions of the office for nine years.
Mr. Lawson has long been promi-
neat as an industrialist, whose inter-
ests have ranged far beyond his native
city. He has taken an active interest
in philanthropic and educational pro-
jects, principally in connection with the
University of Western Ontario.
"With the able co-operation of Mrs.
Lawson, the traditions of the high post
will be ably and faithfully maintained
by Mr, Lawson, He should prove a
worthy successor to such distinguish-
ed Lieutenant-Governors as Colonel
, Harry Cockshutt, Hon. W, D. Ross,
Hon, Herbert A. Bruce and Hon. Al-
bert Matthews. / v *
UN PROGRESS
The United Nations Assembly has
adjourned after an eight-week session
in New York, the first to be held on
American soil. Some progress has
been made in that the delegations are
getting to know each other better and
show ,s ome signs of mutual trust. Un-
der the skilful and brilliant guidance
of chairman M. Paul-Henri Spaak of
Belgium, efficient methods of proced-
ure and rules of debate are being
worked out. The Assembly is becom-
ing more capable as a world forum.
The most dramatic achievement of
the session was the step taken toward
disarmament. The Assembly agreed
to a resolution embodying several re-
volutionary proposals. All States will
cut armaments and armed forces ac-
cording to an agreed plan; the Seem-
An outstanding feature was the final
choice of New York.as UN headquart-
ers, accepting the splendid site Offered
by John D. Rockefeller. Four new
members of UN were elected, Iceland,
Sweden, Afghanistan and Siam. Eight
trusteeship agreements were accepted,
but the future status of the Pacific Is-
lands and Palestine remains unsettled.
WEEKLY THOUGHT
Time, and matter, as we know them,
began "In the Beginning" of . this
world or universe. None of us believe
that something can come from nothing,
nor that the greater can come from the
lesser. How 'vast, timeless and won-
derful must be the IGodland of which
our universe is a new and minute part!
If one star had been made each
night since our world began, that
would only account for a few of the
stars in our universe. How appallingly
large and marvellous must be the sour-
ce of our universe!
KNOW WINGHAM
Now that the distant landscapes are
unhidden by the foliage of trees, it is
possible to see many picturesque views.
A stroll to the end of almost any street
is worth while to see the scenes that
are presented at this season of the
year. For instance, north-west, across
the "Pond," the terrain rises sharply
in the distance, and buildings and
farm homes can be seen that were hid-
den all summer.

RED LAKE ROAD
At last the thriving mining commun- -
ity of Red Lake, consisting of a fair'
sized town and a number of gold mines
which have produced some $48,000,-
000.00 gold since 1929, has been linked
with the outside world by a through
road. The district was discovered as
rich in gold and other minerals in
1925; and since that time all food,
mining supplies arid equipment, gold
and passengers had to be transported.
either by water in summer, tractor
trains over the ice in the winter or by
air.
Several thousand people live in the
progressive town of Red Lake and sur-
rounding mining camps in this district
of North-western Ontaorio, which lies,
by road,' 1.65 miles north of Vermillion
Bay on the Trans-Canada Highway.
This southern terminus of the new
road is linked by an existing highway
to Quibell on the C,N,R,
Previously it took two days and two'
nights to cover the 200 miles of land
and water route to Red Lake from the
railway, The view road was built in
the record time of six months and at'
a cost of $3,000.000.00. Thus, at long
last, the 'town and raining district of
Red Lake get road facilities and reas-
onable freight rates,
Freight shipments had cost $100.00
per ton by air, $40.00 by winter trans-
port and $20.00 a ton by water. The
new road will cut the costs to $5,00 per
ton and save more than $800,000:00
year on the district's present freight
bills.
