Newspaper Association Year Ending Has Been Outstanding The year now ending has in many respects been an outstanding one for Canadian productivity, and there is every indication that the total value of the national output for the second consecutive year will be increased by more than 10 per cent. Economists suggest that unfinished work, cou- pled with additional programs now planned, ensure that the year ahead can be equally promising. On the agricultural front, some gains were . made during the year. Prices of Canadian farm products as a whole have strengthened by about Ave per cent over the past year and with the volume of mar'ketings reach- ing new records for some important products, the outlook for farm in- come in 1956 is the best in some years. At the same time. farm operating costs rose also, but at not quite the same rate, and it is likely net farm income in 1956 will show an improve- ment over the previous year. In many other ways, the year end- ing has been outstanding. Weather- wise, the farming community was faced with peculiarities which, at the time, gave every appearance of cre- ating serious difficulty. However, as the season advanced, the weather pattern developed in such a way that production was up to, and in some re- spects substantially better than aver - .age. 'The achievements of Canadian ag- riculture in the face of great difficul- ties, is an indication of the manner in which the industry is adjusting to changing conditions. At the same time, there remains much to be done to ensure that the agriculture econ- omy is •further improved. It has been, too, a year of increas- ing tension throughout the world, culminating in the Suez affair and the desecration of all semblance of free- dom in Hungary. As the year ends, the threat of war—very real a few weeks ago—hasp receded. This trend is dependent on such variables that only by the exrcise of restraint and prayer by all concerned can it be continued. Too Great An Interval? In the recent municipal, election here there was a period of more than two weeks between the time candi- dates were nominated and voting day. It has been suggested that this period was unnecessarily long, and that this contributed to a lessening interest in the vote itself. The public enthusiasm and interest engendered by the nomination proceedings had dissipated by election day. In Kincardine, the same situation arose and The News' of that town discusses the matter: "In some quarters the feeling is that the time lapse between nomina- tions and elections in Kincardine is too long. "It does not appear that election a week earlier would constitute any hardship, either for those seeking election or those doing the electing, and the change can be made by amending existing by-laws govern- ing the nomination and election of candidates." , ss SEEN.

The season's most despicable thieves—those who go about rob- bing outdoor Christmas trees of the colored lights placed on them —are active. • Several reports of thefts from the grounds of Gode- rich homes are reported. Police are investigating and if and when the perpetrators of these acts of vandalism are caught they will be given fines that will remind them that their behaviour is a losing game.—Goderich Signal -Star. Gather For Rally Wingham District High School was the scene of an interesting assembly this past weekend. Dele- gates from thirteen different con- gregations of Jehovah's Witnesses assembled for religious instruc- tion, On Friday evening the theme, "Happy People Serving the Hap- py God." was developed and ad- hered to throughout the various discourses and demonstrations, giving encouragement to all, aid- ing them to appreciate the value of Bible counsel in daily living.— Wingham Advance -Times. Water Pumping Station A special joint meeting of Town Council and Goderich Public Util- ities Commission is to be held to consider a draft agreement where- by the Ontario Water Resources Commission would build and oper- ate a new $550,000 water pumping station for Goderich.

Attempted Break-in An attempted break-in at the Shell Service Station, Highway 8, was reported to the Clinton Po- lice Department Wednesday morn- ing. The proprietor of the station, Len Cole, discovered the attempt that morning when he arrived to It's got what the experts call cc road sense" Tlie '37 Chevrolet can give lessons on taking curves and holding the road to just about any ear going- — no matter how much more it costs. Few ears at any prier- are so beautifully ,ba.laneed and .o smooth, sure and solid in action. The '57 Chevy's road savvy isn't surprising once you learn what's underneath it—new de- velopments in steering. springs and suspension. Chevy plants itself wide and low to the road, and with its pounds in the right places. That's why it sticks so surely and solidly around corners and curves. That's why it seems to follow the road as though on invisi- ble rails. Chevy's new V8 power (up to 245 h.p.') springs from what people who know have called the best performing pas- senger car engine ever built. And that makes the going even better! Snappier performance with more precise control! Come in and try it.

Refuse Operating Facilities Mayor R. E. Pooley charged Monday night that district resi- dents who donated towards con- struction of South Huron Hospital, "are not getting what they paid for," because the board refuses to allow doctors to use its operat- ing facilities, Speaking at the fin- al council meeting of the year, the mayor said local docters are not allowed to operate despite the fact that "everything they need is pro- vided at the hospital." People in the district have a right to all ser- vices the hospital can provide" he stated. Mayor Pooley urged residents to attend the hospital board's annual meeting whioh is held early in the new year, to find out why the operating facilities cannot be used. ._ tlf the public wants a change, it's their duty to approach the hospital board," he said.—Exeter Times -Advocate, Police Warn of Molester Police are on the lookout for a man who may be molesting small children in the district. Only one minor incident has been reported and there is no cause for serious concern. Police urged citizens, however. to be on the alert and report any similar occurrences in case the man may be dangerous. The incident occurred at Zurich when an unidentified man stepped' out of a car and approached an eight-year-old girl walking on the street. When he tried to grab her the child became frightened and ran to a group of friends walking ahead of her, The man hurried hack to his car and drove away.
