It is a period that we look forward forward to, in general, with hope and optimism. Looking ahead into 1984 the indicators appear appear to be one noting improving economic conditions conditions and this is being noted both by U.S., European and even Canadian economists, as individuals and in their respective organizations. Canada heads the list in moving ahead in 1984 of all the industrialized nations. nations. But it is not all economic conditions that have the concern of citizens around the world. There are the matters of violence, civil conflict, internal wars, threats of war, warmongering and the escalation of nuclear warheads. 1983 headlines from around the world would lead one to believe that the year was one of the worst and that the world was in fact falling apart. By late 1983 relations between the superpowers superpowers were at their lowest ebb of the past twenty years. The fact does remain however that most of the world is at peace. We do need and. hope we can look forward to an improvement in the superpower relationships. relationships. Surely the two capitals are not to be left to decide the future of mankind and more involvement is needed other than the U.S. and the U.S.S.R. Surely, however, we can be optimistic over the future and the year 1984 especially since Reagan in the U.S. will be facing an election in 1985 and the U.S.SR. leadership now in limbo warmongering may well subside for the time being. We do have some predictions to make for the new year. Trudeau will announce his resignation as Liberal leader and Prime Minister sometime in February or March. Jean Chretian will take over leadership of the liberal party as the. grits endeavour to keep their hold on the voters of Quebec and still bring forth a man with some stature and ability to communicate with the west. (That may be a personal preferance). The car industry will continue to advance through 1984 as car owners play catch-up with their model year of vehicle. » Due to the fact we have a deep freeze in the early part of winter we kx?k forward to and expect to get an early, warm spring. ' Thê Town of Newcastle will bring in an early budget and under the rate of inflation. Past experience experience over the past two years have shown a great improvement in the budget process for the Town. * The Towri* will form their Recreational and Cultural Planning Committee as suggested through their Recreation and Culture Study, The committee will find it has no real.purpose and after a year it will fold. World leaders will, by the end of the year, realize that peace and nuclear disarmament cannot be left entirely to the two world powers and its leaders to dictate. May your; new year, 1984, be one of peace, fulfillment and prosperity. Kendal .

May 1984 have lots of good things in store for each and everyone. They tell us that this has been the coldest December in fifty years. I remember well the December of 1933. I had to walk a mile straight north each morning west of King City. Every few steps I would stop and rub my knees to keep.them from freezing. Ski pants were not fashionable till later. In December 1943 I was on the R.C.A.F. station at Defoe, Saskatchewan. Then it was 40 degrees below and the girls wore skirts. Several had frost bitten knees. However the M.T. drivers wore warm woollen pants. One evening one M.T. driver said, "This has been quite a day." I asked why! Two u.c.w.

Three R.C.A.F. men had been killed. She said, "Today an aero-engine Inspector Inspector had been sent in to inspect inspect the wreck." I was the only one who knew how to drive to the wrecked plane. I know these trails like a book. I grew up here and rode horseback all around the Little Little Quill and Big Quill Lakes and marshes. I started out with the Inspector in a little pannel truck; on the highway about six miles away it froze up (no anti-freeze then). I phoned back on the intercom and they said, "All trucks are out but wait there and soon a big truck will be coming back, take it." So she took the big truck and it was fortunate fortunate because it was higher up and more powerful. She drove to within a half mile of the wreck then she told the officer it wouldn't be safe to drive any closer, he would have to walk. He had only low shoes. Wouldn't you think he'd have worn warm footwear? He was pretty cold for it was 40 degrees below. When he returned and when they reached the highwaÿ he had her stop at the first eating place and paid for a full course meal for them both. By way of contrast in weather last time we had Christmas on Sunday, it was ' in 1949, a perfect Christmas Day. Monday and Tuesday were mild then'on Wednesday Wednesday it rained hard all day. On Thursday it was cleat and cold, a perfect day for a wedding, wedding, our wedding, December 29th.

On New Year's we, attended church in GananoqUe GananoqUe and had a turkey dinner. Then in Belleville we had a turkey supper. We continued on with perfect road condi- • fions until we reached Car- sons when we put on chains to get home. Strange how different different it is to get along without one of our main articles articles of food. On Monday I forgot to put oatmeal on the shopping list. No porridge! What shall I do? Then I thought of my mother. When we ran out of oatmeal on the prairie Dad would go to the wheat bin and bring in à lard pail of wheat. Then We would get down the little hand grinder that came from Eaton's and grind ' some wheat, into whole wheat flour, Then Mother would stir it very fast into the salted ' water, cream of wheat porridge. porridge. That's what I made for five days. Then on Friday my husband took the Christmas letters to Kendal. I said, "Get some oatmeal"; but ai the song says "Yes, we have no bananas, we have no oatmeal today," was the result. I thought, I'll make pancakes for breakfast. Pancâkes, maple syrup and applesauce. They tasted grand but they take too,long. Farmers want • to get to the barn soon. There might be'a çew calf. I think I'll serve hot milk on shredded shredded wheat tomorrow morning. We have had two men callers,'■ both' without hats.
