Cold, hard facts replaced the usual election banter and bare truth took the place of convenient exaggerations and omissions. A rather shocked gathering at Hay Township voters' meeting heard that edu- cation costs are high—and they are going to remain high—and get even higher. They heard that children are not receiving the best education possible and that there is no reason why they should not, They heard that school student transportation is not something that can be avoided — it is here—and will stay here, They heard that the calibre of the school teachers is not good enough—that more qualified teachers must be sought and paid accord. ingly. They heard that special classes for `exceptional' children must be considered, can be included in Hay Township's educa- tional system and will be expected very soon. The assembly there learned that the fivev candidates were not taking up vital time in fault finding with the department of education, It was quickly sensed that all candidates were convinced that educa- tion of the young is not anything to be taken lightly, nor is it something that re- quires no change. The candidates agreed to a man that the time is ripe for ratepay- ers to accept the •challenge—not looking back with a nostalgic sentiment that breeds lazy thinking and slow movement—but with an eye to the future that fathers keen perception of the urgent needs and decis- ive action today. Only four of the five will be chosen to represent Hay Township on the School Area Board that will include two members .from Hensall and one member from Zurich. Voters in Hay should be proud that men of this quality are willing to accept all the headaches that accompany nomination, B of Review Year's Business New records in almost every phase of the Bank of Montreal's local, national and internation- al operations are reported in the bank's 147th annual state- ment. The figures were pro- vided by J. E. Bannister, man- ager of the Zurich branch, and V. M. Pyette, manager of the Hensall branch of the Bank of Montreal. They said that at the October 31 year-end B of M assets had risen by $393 million to a rec- ord $4,668 million. At the same time, loans to individuals, businesses and municipalities totalled $2,729 million, Total deposits were at a new of $2,030 million. The savings figure showed an increase of $$92,5 million in the year, pass- ing the $2 billion mark for the First time. Earnings Up The bank's net earnings, 00 operations of 960 offices at home and abroad also reached a new record of $17,854,883, the managers reported. The figure is $1,107,855 more than in 1963. Provision for taxes is $18,211,471. The total loan figure of $2,'729 million includes an increase of $317 million in the key category "commercial and other loans". N.H.A. mortgage loans and call loans were $211 million and $267 million, respectively. The bank's more than 23,000 shareholders are receiving divi- dends of $2.20 per share, or a total of $13,365,000. This is high of $4,340 million, includ- five cents a share more than in ing Canadians' personal savings 1963. Turkey and Fun For Family Night Friday, November 27, was family night for the Kippen East Women's Institute when members entertained their hus- bands and children, numbering over 100 to a turkey banquet with all the trimmings. The dinner was followed with a program arranged by Mrs. W. J. F. Bell and Mrs. Glenn Bell, consisting of a sing -song, an instrumental and solo by Joan Sinclair, a trio by Diane, Darlene and Douglas McKay. The children played bingo and the adults euchre, Prizes for the euchre were: ladies' high, IVIrs, Charles Eyre. low, Donna Whitehouse; men's high, Ross Broadfoot; low, Charles Eyre. The travelling lone hand was won by Mrs. Ken McKay. ZURICH Citizens NEWS PRINTED BY SOUTH HURON PUBLISHERS LIMITED, ZURICH MRS. SHIRLEY KELLER, Editor HERB TURKHEIM, Publisher J. E.

Frankly, it makes me sick. Christmas should be a ,joyous time of the year. Instead, it is the season when some irrespon- sible St. Nicholas makes either liars or paupers out of parents. I think this Santa Claus bit is going just a little too far. The be -whiskered elf from the North Pole appears an televis- ion late in November. He holds the kids spell -bound with his yarns about making toys and filling orders. Each day he gives a progress report 'on the manufacturer of electric trains and the holdups in the doll de- partment. He warns little innocents that they will .have to be very, very goad or Santa will not grant their every wish. So what hap. pens if the kid knocks himself out to be a model child and still doesn't get his expected quota on Christmas morning. Who gets the blame? You guessed it. Moira and Dad. "You didn't leave the porch lights on," the child scrames. "You forgot to leave cookies and milk for the reindeer. You plugged the chimney." Ever try to explain to a child that the Santa on television is just working, the same as Dad- dy? Ever try to reason with the child that 'Ir. Claus can't possibly give everything to every boy and girl? "Yes, he can, mummy," says the wide-eyed victim of elf- landitis, "John Brown asked for alotta stuff last year and Santa brung it all. He's got lotssa money and he likes to give it away.

Then to top it all off, Santa comes charging into town with a bag full of cantly and some coloring books Even though tiny tots are stricken with panic and older kids titter and tee-hee about the fake whiskers, they listen with rapt attention when he promises to see them all Christmas eve, adding that he remembers each and every re- quest they have made. Santa is as much a part of Christmas as snow but he has to be kept in line. Either Santa must put-up or shut -up. Even the toy shop at the North Pole should have a limit.
