conducive to high quality in
crop production, the success of
these farmers is an indication
that Ontario farmers have had
a favorable season in relation
to other areas. In addition, re-
cords have been obtained in to-
tal production of several crops,

ment of Agriculture official.

white blossoms are top favor-
ites f or conveying holiday
greetings . red sta .tding for
joy and laughter; white for
spiritual calm and purity.. Bai-
sam and fir branches, trimmed
with\bells, are other popular
holiday decorations. The greens
represent everlasting life. The
bells are supposed to be a re-
minder of those which tolled
ominously for one hour before
midnight on the first Christme,s
to warn Satan of the imminent
birth of the Saviour.
But ali'kinds of flowers real-
ly carry the true spirit of the
holy holiday, for it is said that
every bush and tree burst into
bloom and bore fruit on the
night that Christ was born.
There are dozens of ways to let
Merry Christmas bloom
throughout the house. For those
who have always liked to disre-
gard "don't open before Christ-
mas" stickers, florists have a
catalogue of floral arrangements
for every taste and mood. You
select •th'e arrangement you
want by picture and see in ad-
vance how it will look when it
is delivered to friends hundreds
of miles away. The prices for
the catalogue arrangements suit
all budgets from blue jeans to
haute couture.
UPON 'MOON]
Whether or not we have a
white Christmas, you can bet
your snow hots we'll have a
blooming one! Poinsettias and
mistletoe, Christmas trees and
holly have long been the high-
lights of the family room at
Yuletide. But in the last few
years folks have used brilliant
floral arrangements to light up
the living room with carnation
and rose centrepieces, begonias
on the buffet and chrysanthe-
mums for the mantel.
You can thank the jet age for
the rapid transportation of flow-
ers from America's Southland
and from the West Coast, and
from as far away as Australia
and Europe, which enable your
front room to be a blooming
beauty while your garden is
deep in snow.
The most familiar greenery
of Christmas is, of course, the
Christmas tree, whose origins
are buried in the ancient world
of the Druids', - Mo'dern popular-
ity probably stemmed from
Queen Victoria who, wishing to
please her husband, Prince Al-
bert, had a green pine brought
to the palace each year to be
decorated for the season.
Flowers and greens with spe-
cific Yuletide messages have be-
come especially popular in re -

the Counties of Huron, Bruce,
Grey, Wellington, Waterloo and
Perth, known as No. 6 District,
Mount Forest, were released

Al Bowering, of the Seaforth
detachment. The first column
covers District 6, and the last
column is the total for the
whole province;
Motor. vehicle, accidents, 188,
2,542; fatal accidents, 7, 85;
persons killed, 7, 100; persons
injured, 60, 1,170;- vehicles
checked, 6,257, 47,662; warn-
ings issued, 2,694, 24,696; charg-
es preferred, 606, 9,115; regi-
stration and permits, 12, 275;
licences, operators, chauffeurs
and instructors, 37, 561; gar-
age and storage licences, 0, 1;
defective equipment, 102, 1,213;
weight, load and size, 29, 423;
rate of speed, 197, 3,449; rules
of the road, 133, 1,876; care-
less driving, 67, 707; fail to re-
port accident, 2, 60; fail to re-
main at scene, 0, 10; other

toxicated, 2, 71; ability impair-
ed, 15, 242; drive while prohib-
ited, 4, 92; uniform strength,
139, 1,874.
Constable Bowering reports
that statistics in No. 6 District
show motor vehicle accidents,
fatal accidents, persons killed
and injured are down anywhere
from 9 per cent to 25 per cent
from 1960. He pointed out that
it was felt this was because
the highway traffic law enforce-
ment has been kept at a reason-
ably high level, and this shows
it must continue on a high lev-
el to keep the rate at a mini-
mum in the area.
When you set about your an-
nual Christmas shopping chores
and you want to make sure you
will get just the right present
for everybody on your list -
give your gilt ideas the "peace -
of -mind" test.

If you've never looked at
presents to be bought with the
thought of "peace -of -mind" or
"non -peace -of -mind," consider
this: a toy drum for junior may
satisfy his bent for banging, but
a box of molding clay may make
him just as happy -and even if
he's too young to worry about
peace of mind, his folks sure
will appreciate your thoughtful-
ness.
"Peace of mind" gifts may
take many forms depending up-
on the recipient of your gener-
osity; it could be a jig - saw
puzzle, a record album, a photo-
graphic dark room kit -or even
a "baby-sitting" certificate.
NEILSON'S ICE CREAM
puzzles, solitaire games, almost
any kind of do-it-yourself kit , .
these and many other gifts fall
into the "peace of mind" range.
'rhel•e you have a few ideas,
and you can probably add a lot
more to 'your shopping list. No
matter what you select, you can
be sure of giving "peace of
mind" if you'll remember these
two basic rules:
1. Picture the individual you
are buying something for;
think about his (or her)
hobbies, interests, taste,
personality.
2. Get a gift that matches,
or will give outlet to, one
or more of these charact-
eristics.
Painting, mosaic, and wood
inlay sets are popular gifts that
can be bought for under a dol-
lar and up. You can get 'em for
all ages and both sexes. They're
based on doing -it -by -numbers
and come in styles ranging from
simple cartoons to reproductions,
of great masterpieces.
Many a happy amateur has
been started on the way to a
rich creative experience by one
of these sets. Just pick the set
to suit the receiver's personal-
ity . . . maybe a wood inlay
serving tray or cigarette box for
the woman who likes fine house-
hold accessories, or a scenic
painting for an outdoors -man.
"Quiet books on nature, re-
ligion, music, geography, as-
tronomy and the like may be
better than tranquilizer drugs -
though there are no statistics to
prove it. Here again, the secret
is to pick, a gift to match the
interests.'of the intended reader.
Certain kinds of record al-
bums also make ideal "peace
of mind" gifts ... not the ones
with jumpy cha-cha tunes, but
the albums containing soft, ser-
ene music. Give your friends
music to erad by, or play cards
by, or just daydream by, and
your present will be remember-
ed for years.
Most people like to look at
pictures and many might like
to make them as well as take
them. All it takes is someone
to get them started , .. and that
someone could be you, with a
gift of photographic equipment.
Today, photo equipment man-
uffcturers make the job of buy-
ing equipment easy, even for
someone who knows nothing
about photography. For instance
there is a quality darkroom kit
that contains everything a hob-
byist needs for developing, en-
larging photographs. Called the
All -in -One Darkroom, this kit
contains the chemicals, papers,
trays, enlarger, accessories and
instruction book that will open
a new world of relaxation and
accomplishment to the user.

Beat Loose Smut
Loose smut in barley can be
controlled, or at least reduced.
by selecting healthy seed.
The farmer who buys regis-
tered seed knows that it would
not be accepted for registration
if more than four per cent of
the kernels were infected. Such
seed can be tested at the Can-
ada Department of Agriculture's
Plant Products laboratories at
Ottawa, Winnipeg and Saska-
toon.
Commercial seed can he
cleaned up considerably by
screening out all but the large
kernels for seeding. It has been
found that the percentage of in-
fection in large kernels is less
than fn the smaller ones.
