Thus it ap- pears possible immediately to mann- facture and sell margarine in Canada without serious threat of prosecutiOn. The ruling also held that the Domin- ion Government has the right to con- tinue its prohibition on the import of margarine into Canada.

Five minutes ef document signing by top-level rep- resentatives of both countries opened the way for the transition of New- Vh76100sTao- A the country, While it is undoubtedly true that the majority of Newfound- landers voted for confederation with Canada on the referendum last sum- mer, yet it is equally true that the delegation from that country draw- ing up and signing the terms of union would have had more prestige if they had been appointed by an elected gov- ernment. However, it is the will of the ma- jority that governs democratic coun- tries, and,beyond doubt, the majority of people in Canada and Newfound- land are in favor of confederation. Both countries have so much to gain by the union that, through time, all NeWfoundlanders willl be proud to call themselves Canadians and all Canadians will be proud of the pro- vince of Newfoundland. Newfound- land will bring 320,000 people and Over 160,000 square miles of territory into the DOminion giving Canada ,a total population of 13,203,000 and an area of 3,842,000 square miles, • * * * MERRY CHRISTMAS Another Christmas will have come and gone before the next issue of' this paper and the joy of Christmas Day will be but a memory.

When the first stores were built on the east side of Joseph- ine from Diagonal Road corner south, their back doors were eight or ten feet above the ground and water stood in their back yards all summer, WESTFIELD The Farm Forum met on Monday evening at the home of Mrs. Frank Campbell with an attendance of 28, The Radio Broadcast and discussion was on "Let's Go to the Movies". It was decided it would be much better if there were more Grade "A" pictures shown, instead of so many crime and drinking pictrucs, as in so many pic- tures there is either a bottle in sight or a gun, and often both ,are in evi- dence. While these may not have a bad influence on people they certainly do not have a good influence. The social activities were under the di- rection of Cecil and Laurence Camp- bell. Christmas Carols were sung, The Co-Operative Hospitalization Plan was discussed and enough mem- bers were secured to form a unit in the Westfield Farm Forum, Anyone wishing, to join may do so at the next Meeting.

Prime Minister St. Laurent and De- fense Minister Claxton were the Can- adian signatories and six of New- foundland's seven-man delegation signed for Newfoundland. The seventh Newfoundland delegate, .Chesley A. Crosbie of St. John's, rebelled at the last moment and refused to put his name to financial terms which he be- lieved to be inadequate. Thus with the signing of the terms of confederation between Canada and Newfoundland, only the legislative procedurenecessary to make the con- tract binding remains. This will re- quire several months' judicial and parliamentary work in Ottawa and London framing' the proper constitu- tional amendment to the British North America Act, But the final and irrevocable step has been taken by Newfoundland and she is now committed into the Canadian union, for better for worse. Both countries should profit by the union. Perhaps the biggest crowd on the. horizon of future relations between Newfoundland as a tenth province and the other nine provinces of Can- ada will be the result of the manner hi which the Newfoundland delegation was given its authority to represent iearAOAV-Ploi orn-rek-riaMpf-Nda.
