Even :county roads are in a blocked .eondition. * e Guelph is afraid that other places, Louden and Waterloo, have their eyes. on the Winter Fair when it starts operations again. The Royal City has fostered this fair for many years and it would seem that it should be con- tinged there, A DESERVING RECOGNITION We wish to extend to Mr. Russel T, Kelley of Hamilton, congratulation on being named the most outstanding citizen of that city, Mr, Kelley is a uative• of Teeswater and is well known to many in this district, He is not only known here by what may be termed old timers, but by many others AS he visits his native haunts with great -regularity and though his vari- QM activities increases his friendships as the years go by. Mr, Kelley is head Of an advertising agency that bears his name and we have pleasant business relationships with him. during the time we have been in the newspaper business here. His efforts that gained for him the great honour from his fellow citi- zens are many and varied. Probably the most outstanding at present is his contribution to Red Cross work as chairman for Ontario of the Blood Donor Service. He is also active in sports and other patriotic endeavours beside his Red Cross activities. Al- though he has been thoroughly adopt- ed by the city he still retains his love of the soil and agriculture has no greater champion than he. We could continue to extoll his virtues but these are well known to most all in this dis- trict. So we close stating once again, congratulations on this most deserving honour. * * WE HAVE TO KEEP PLUGGING The news from the battle fronts of Europe are rinich better than we were receiving a short time ago, This has only been accomplished by the sacri- fice and splendid efforts of our sol- diers. It ,has been stated by high authorities that the German push into the Belgium bulge has set the winter campaign of the Allies back ';at least three .months. Many of us were too quick to feel that the war would be over before longhand with it came a let-down in our war effort. We now know how wrong we were and should put added effort into our 1945 activ- ities. There should be no let-down until Victory. is at hand.

The rectory is on a hill and overlooks the city, so that we al- ways have a picture of the rugged, majestic scenery, the very tapestry of God, Sometimes it is bathed in sun- light, sometimes hidden by the clouds, at others reflecting a mingled fantasy of colour. Dull would he be of soul who could pass by a sight so touching in its majesty. We find a remarkable loyalty to the Church heee. People come in from ten and fifteen miles regularly for services. On Christmas Eve the Church was crowded at 11.30 pen, and we had folks from San Carlos, 25 miles away, where there is not a Church. One Sunday morning I spoke to a man and his wife at the door, and they informed me they had come down from a lumber camp 70 miles away-for the service- and would be coming snore regularly now that avRector had come. Loyalty! A desire for spiritual help - these people prize it. There are many out- lying districts without a church, and the people want the Church. Globe is a picture of the Internation- al mind, A walk along Broad Street introduces you to Mexicans, Indians (Apache and Navajos) Spaniards, Ne- groes and GreelA, as well as the des- cendants of British stock. Originally many Welsh and Cornish people came here-and I also find many names such as Ryan, O'Neill, Casey, Murphy and Sullivan. I enjoy„looking into the faces of all these creatures of God's World. It is fine to note that the National Council of Youth Movements here are urging the study of Race Problems, There is a keenness to to create youth action with respect to interracial understanding. The school buildings here are splendid, modern and well equipped. Many of the teachers in the public schools are graduates of Universities. In methods, Arizona has profited by the mistakes of other states, I under- stand it ranks second in its educational standards. The school Lionel attends, has 700 pupils and 26 teachers. One is 'amazed at the buildings, Some 6 miles' away at Miami is a marvellous high school; and a public school cover- ing about 5 acres-in a town of •5,000. Lionel goes to school at 8,20 and is dismissed at 3.30. Patsy still goes 9 to 3.45. The books, scribblers, etc. ,are all supplied at the Public School. There are 5 Public Schools here. Customs here, vary considerably fromOntario. The moving picture theatres open Sunday afternoons, for the rest of the clay. Wines and liquor may be purchased at' drUg and grocery stores, and whiskey too. There is an open sale. So far I have never seen an intoxicated person on the street. But all this appears strange to us. All stores, close at 6 o'cloCk Saturday night, and all restaurants at 10 o'clock. Except for theatres and restaurants all TELLS OF ARIZONA 'is quiet Saturday night.

Orangeville Mayor Wants Recreational Centre At the inaugural meeting of the Orangeville council, Mayor McCulloch delivered a very fine address. Among other things, he said, "I suggest that as a definite symbol of our gratitude to the girls and boys who are serving king and country, and to those who have already given their lives, we should make a start on a memorial park and recreation centre containing swimming pool and other forms of suitable entertainment. Such an under- taking would fill a much-needed place in our community. I hope that 1945 will see a definite beginning to this worthwhile undertaking. Chesley Women 95 and 91 Chesley women have been celebrat- ing notable anniversaries of late, Mrs, Duncan Currie having recently marked her 95th birthday, while Mrs. McIvor celebrated her 91st birthday on Mon- Returns To Old Country Mr. T. C. Crouch, who reorganized and has been the manager of the Hesky Flax Products extensive plant in Seaforth for the past two years, left on Tuesday for Montreal en route to Great Britain, Mr. Crouch has been interested in the production of flax and flax processing machinery in Ireland, Belgium and other European countries the greater part of his life. When the war broke out he was living in Belgium, where he had extensixe flax holdings, and only escaped the Ger- man invasion of that country by a few hours. He will be accompanied by his wife and daughter-in-law, Mrs, William Couch, whose husband is in the army in England.-Seaforth Hur- on Expositor. Charter Granted To Blyth Co-Op.

It is said that the parents of the trio have promised to improve their living quarters but until such time as this has been carried out the young- sters' will be cared for by the Chil- dren's Aid. - Walkerton Herald- Times. Wounded In Hip Mrs. David Hastings,' Brussels, re- ceived a letter from her brother, Tpr. R. C. Fox, written. on December 18, four days after he was wounded in action. The letter, in part, read: "Old Jerry has put me away for a long time, It is very difficult writing be- cause I am flat on my back as he put a large piece of shrapnel through my right hip." Painful Burn Leo Goetz, an employee of the Teeswater Foundry, suffered a painful burn, He was in the act of "pouring" when some of the incited iron spilled onto his foot and clown into his shoe, Burns sustained to the foot will keep him off work for a few .days.--Tees- water News.

This has given me an op- portunity to interpret the Canadian mind to the people here. I have been able to meet the Lions and Rotary club at their meetings and to speak to them and to endeavor TO act as an emissary of good will. We had two R.A.F. boys for the New Year's week- end. One was Irish, the other Eng- lish-and they were quite pleased to be in a "Canadian" home-I think they felt were just a bit more of "home" than the American people are, They are stationed not far from here. Well, this is winter in Arizona. So far I haven't worn a coat or hat. The temp- erature has dropped to 26 a few nights but the Iris, and roses and mums and Narcissus are still blooming outside the door. The days are warm, There is practically no twilight, and at 6 p.m. it is dark and suddenly cooler. By 7 a.m. the sun is shining through the windows and it is , broad daylight. Arizona is frequently described as the Land of the Sun. Here, ages ago, the Great' Architect, created the peculiar combination of great open' spaces, of monntains, plateauserivers; and deserts. in just the right pattern to produce this land, Thousands of people are finding today, their "Fountain of Youth" in this land of mystery and romance: Man-made structures may come and go, but the life-giving sun- shine and the lure of the distant horiz- ons will be here for ages, for the re- juvenation and healing of all people from the vast reaches of this contin- ent.

Arizona has sometimes been deserib- ed as the last frontier of America. It is, of cotirse, the newest state in for- mation and its resources and possibil- ities are as yet undreamed of. The essential industry is copper rifting and thousands of men are employed at the Castle Dome, Inspiration and Miami Mines, All of these are quite close to lobe, as well as the Inter- national Copper Mining Corporation. They are working all the time, Sun- YOU HAVE?THAT'S SILLY!' FOUR STOCKINGS CAN MAKE THREE PAIRS... GET A PAIR' THE SAME SHADE AS THOSE AND MATCH THEM UP! OH, DARN!
