SINGLE COPIES — 5 CENTS EACH Authorized as Second Class Mali, Post Office Department Ottawa Bros., Publishers Member of Canadian Weekly Newspaper Association SEAFORTH, ONTARI 0, NOVEMBER 2, 1956 Fine October Follows Wet The months of July and August, generally thought of as being the summer months, were anything but summery this year. Not for some time has this district experienced as much cold, wet and unseasonable weather as that which was with us. Nature has a habit, however, of balancing things, and so it is that the month of October, now ended, has been all that even the most critical and demanding could wish for. With many days in the mid seventies, with bright sunshine predominating, the Building Highways is Slow During the past two or three weeks a ribbon of smooth black asphalt has been stretching out from Seaforth eastwards. This week the layer of hard topping has reached al- most to Mitchell. To the motorist who for three years has bounced from rut to rut and from hole to hole, in his .travels from Mitchell to Seaforth, the pav- ing appears to be a simple operation. In a matter of mere days, almost ov- ernight, a road that at times has been practically impassable, be- comes a smooth paved thoroughfare. But the truth, of Course, is that the thin strip of paving is but the final in a long series of complex dirt moving operations. It is like the paint on a newly -built house. Paint- ing takes a relatively short time to complete, but it can't be proceeded with until all the work from digging the basement to shingling the roof A Brighter Picture Canadian chartered banks keep a sensitive finger on all aspects of the Canadian economy, and are among the first to sense a change—for better or worse—in the financial well-being of the various elements that go to make up our population. So it is when one of the banks sees a definite improvement in three sec- tors of Canadian agriculture—grain, meat and dairy products—there is good reason to anticipate that re- sults will prove just such an im- provement. In its October Business Re'view, the Bank of Montreal points out that preliminary estimates show that farm income during the first six months of this year amount to $1,188 million, a rise of 13 per cent over 1955, and the highest first-half figure recorded since 1951. While much of this increase stems from increased wheat sales, there are other substan- tial factors operating to the benefit of the Canadian farmer. Describing the absorptive capacity of the Canadian market for meat, one of the most encouraging features of the agricultural situation, the re- view points out that per capita con- sumption has risen from 140.5 pounds in 1953 to 151.5 pounds in 1955. It believes there will be another rise this yiar, despite increasing competition from poultry, per capita consumption of which was 29.7 pounds last year. . In the dairy industry, the problem f large surplus stocks of -butter and cheese still remains, says the B of M, but this' year the trend haschangedfrom aecnroulation,to a moderate de- letion of inventories. ' Pointing out that the marketing spects surrounding grain, live - tock And dairy products, which col- • Vey account for 70 per cent of farm cash income, ate funda- tat to any appraisal 'a the out.- okfor Canadian agriculture, the of M says that with developments j� improvement in each of • this year, it would 1ialfof,- , • Summer month has been one which seems to have given people new energy and a new zest in living. The farming community, discour- aged after months of wet, cold wea- ther in which work got behind and crops were almost impossible to han- dle, found new hope in a bright Octo- ber. The situation wasn't nearly as bad as it had looked earlier, and while there had been a lot of extra work involved in harvesting, the re- turns were found to be at least aver- age, and in many cases better than average. Work has been finished. So it is with a new road. The months—even years of work saw the Construction of new culverts, the acquisition of enlarged rights-of- way, major changes in grade, and the movement of thousands and thou- sands of yards of earth and gravel. It has taken time, but the result should be a smooth new highway that will serve the travelling public for manytyears to come. They Still Trust Louis (The Toronto Star) Whatever Canadians may think of the federal government's handling of the pipeline and Speakership issues, they still trust and admire Rt. Hon. Louis Stephen St. Laurent. That is evident from the results of a Gallup poll. No less than two-thirds of the public approve the way he is hand- ling his job as prime minister of this nation. That this is no mere party ver- dict is shown by the fact that more than half the Conservatives inter - 'viewed and 40 per cent among the C.C.F. approve Mr. St. Laurent per- sonally. As was only to be expected, his popularity is greatest in Quebec, where 65 per cent of he men and women registered their admiration. But this is only one per cent above the national average of his popular- ity, a fact of outstanding significance in the light of the expectation of a federal election before very long. It may well be that in holding him- self aloof from many recent parlia- mentary discussions Mr. St. Laurent has strengthened rather than weak- ened the Canadian people's admira- tion of him. In any event, the friend- ly, urbane and dignified head of the national government was never more personally popular than he is today. He is often referred to by opponents and supporters alike as "Uncle Louis." 'Those familiar with psychol- ogical jargon use a different term to explain his political success; they say he is the perfect "father image" to Canadians, as President Eisenhower is to Americans. Sobriquets and jargon aside, the esteem in which the prime minister is held is in large measure a response to his warm personality and obvious sincerity-. No one -has ever questioned his inflexible integrity. These are qualities that have stood him in good stead in his public life; no less than the brilliance of intellect which so largely accounted for his eminence in the legal profession before he join- ed the wartime government of the late Mackenzie King. Despite opposition rumors to the contrary, it ean be taken for granted that Mr. St. Laurent will lead the Liberal party in the next election. He will be 75 next February.
