At the same time, as the -first days of 1958 arrive, there are clouds on the horizon that may result in additional problems in the months to come. In an international sense, there 'has. been ho easing of• world tensions --s-on the other hand, it became ap- - parent that in many,,, respects the - Western world has lost the initiative in its striving for a peaceful solution of the differences that exist. There were evidences that Canada was experiencing a slowdown in the booming development that had fea- tured the economy during the post- war years. This matter of a slowed.clown eco,- homy has been reflected in a greater number of `Canadians seeking em- ployment. Unemployed in Canada are at a new high for this time of • year. •. Probably the biggest event of the. year ended, from a Canadian .stand point, was the defeat of the Liberal. . Government in June and the coming --'into office of the Diefenbaker gov- ernment. Since then the govern- ment has facedthe problem of at - (—tempting to implement the many election . promises of the Prime Min- ister axad party workers during the election. While some changes have ben rpade—old age pensions increas- ed, $9 a month—the basic promise of _. lowered taxes and increased benefits has not been met. Such changes as were introduced were made without. benefit of a budget, so that it has not been possible to determine the extent of the deficit which the increases may create. It seems certain that when, finally a budget- is brought down, it will reveal that Ottawa is spending more money than it takes in, which is something of a Conserva- tive -habit during periods of peace. This, to.o,• despite the fact the most expensive of the election promised . remain to be dealt with. Farmers have found th'at the year brought increased .problems. The cost price squeeze has to a greater extent reduced their net income, .and despite a -good year insofar as crops Were"fN concerned. they find 'themselves with , less remaining when they have bal- ia'nced• •their books. There has been no indication of that bright new deal le t Pwob ems Increase for the Canadian farmer, the prom- ise of which proved so popular in the Conservativgelection platform. Cer tainly, as far as Huron and Perth beef producers are concerned, the proposal of the Minister of Trade and Commerce to Western farmers that they ease the wheat surplus by fin- ishing more cattle in the West, can only mean lowered returns' in 1958. Police Force Takes Over The first of 1958 saw the bringing into being of Seaforth's new police force. For the first time in eight years provincial,police will not be sponsible for law 'and order in Sea - forth. In taking a decision to establish a Seaforth. force, Council was concern- ed by the increasing cost of main- taining the provincials here. It was estimated the cost of the provincials during the coming year would be in excess of $12;000, since a third man was considered a requirement. There is no doubt but -that a muni- cipal force will cost less, particular- ly in the initial stags. The extent of the saving will not be, clear, how - 'ever, until the force has been in op- eration for some months. There are many factors, such as transportation, uniforms, relief ' help, holidays and insurance, which will have to be tak- en into consideration, and which were not factors when the provincials were, here. The provincial police provided' good service during ,the years they were in Seaforth. There was a de- gree of continuity, which is a big fac- tor in good policing and which is not always possible in small forces. There were personnel difficulties, of course, but these are inevitable, regardless of the nature of the police force. On the whole, the men who were sta- tioned here were conscientiouss, cap- able officers. The successful carrying out of po- lice deities in a community depends on the support which is "received by the police. As a new force takes ov- er in Seaforth there will 'be genuine assurances of co-operation on the part of citizens generally, and good wishes fora long a.. successful career for the two'officers who will constitute the police force,here.

Mc- Leod, which has lain at her moor- ings in the Bayfield River all year, broke her ties on Wednesday night or early, Thursday morning. The river was running strong be- tween 18 inches to two feet above the ice level. There had been about two inches of ice. The boat lodged in the crook on the north pier, and when first noted was over on its side .with the waves banging her against the pier and washing in and out of the cabin. Donald McLeod, who had been fish- ing at Port Burwell and Port Stan- ley for over 'a year, was notified and came to try and salvage the craft on Friday. -Clinton News - Record. • Long .Christmas Card Town Councillor -elect 3ruce Sul- ly lays claim to receiving the long- est Christmasseard in Goderich. It was well over 40 feet in length. When he opened up the calendar tube in which . it was packed, the card poured out of the tube like water from a geyser. It was from Jack Pemberton, of Toronto, vers- atile industrialist and •idea -man. One of the business ventures of Mr, Pemberton is the making of casing for sausages. So, he sent out Christmas cards along the, same theme. The representative sausage casing was made of ma- terial like cellophane and every foot or so on it had a Christmas greeting printed in red. Mr. Sul- ly says Mr. Pemberton goes in for things in a "long way." Far ex- ample, Mr. Pemberton had an of- fice party recently and among the prizes given were the following: one sausage 55 feet long; a 14 -foot cigar; a 28 -inch long lollipop; a 56 -inch long candy cane, and—a bag of dehydrated manure.—Gode- rich Signal -Star: HURON COUNTY' FEDERATION NEWS • By J. CARL HEMINGWAY I suppose most of you have read the item in the dailies which stat- ed„in effect that the Ontario Gov- ernment was "withdrawing from marketing' legislation". The first thing I would call to your attention° is the fact that this report was under• the Name of a newspaper correspondent. This re- lieves the Government of being accused of a definite statement. As one reads along in the report, it is quite evident that/the, Farm Products Marketing Act and simi- lar and supporting • amendments will not be withdrawn. Rather appears that the Governmen fish- es to give up the responsibility of enforcing it. It is difficultsee how this can be done, as the gov- ernment is the only source of power for law and enforcement, At the present time it is the 'responsibility of the producers' marketing agency to administer the regulations .,drawn up by . the Farm' Products Marketing Board— a government appointed body. ' When it mentions producers Entertain Bethel Sunday School Bethel Sunday School e Id their annual Christmas /concert with; the minister, Rev, W. H. Summerell acting ,as chairman.

These men would , then • be appointed by the government. This would seem to be logical. Due to the, increased number and scope of marketing boards in re- cent years, it is natural and de- sirable that changes should be made in the methods of admini- stration' of the Farm Products u arketing Act.
