Last Sunday •Sunday in the United Church Sun day School Miss Ila Lamport gave an appropriate reading for the be ginning of the year, entitled “Be of Good Cheer.” Winter Roads Ten years ago the maintenance of open highways and secondary roads for motor traffic during the winter months was not considered econ omically feasible by highway bodies. Today the increasing use of high way transport services for the move ment of foodstuffs and merchandise passenger traffic over established bus routes, rural mail deliveries, as well as ordinary commercial and pleasure driving have made the open winter road a necessity and also a permanent road policy in this pro vince. Whereas a few years ago a snow plough was considered adequate machinery, today the whole prob lem is handled on a much more systematic and scientific basis. The greatest hazard of winter driving has always been the Icy condition which follow a thaw or rain, and to counteract • these conditions the road engineer. and the chemist have collaborated to produce simple and efficient machinery for spreading an abrasive mixture such as sand and salt, which clings to the ice surface, thus adding a safety factor to winter driving and reducing very materially the number of serious accidents. This column extends to its readers my best wishes for a New Year full of Happiness and Prosperity. As I extend these sincere greetings, I would like to gratefully acknow ledge the many courtesies and evi dences of good will that have made service to you a pleasure for me. That our relations have been so friendly I am thankful and my earn est hope is that the same spirit may spread throughout the world to re main sion. New sings ings there are bound to be in clouds now shadowing the world. Evangelical Mission Circle The Evangelical Mission Circle held its annual meeting on Wednes day evening Meleeta Wein present.
