In addition, re- cords have been obtained in to- tal production of several crops, comments an Ontario Depart- ment of Agriculture official.

Red and 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.

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 charges, HTA, 5, 66; criminal negligence, 1, 8; dangerous driving, 0, e7; fail to remain at scene, 0, 34; drive while in- 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.

SEAFORTH MOTORS Phone 541 -- Seaforth r..` re r 7,* 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.

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. LOOK NO FURTHER !
