No. 10 Highway has been open since Tuesday morning, but not before a large number of motorists were snow bound during the nigbt when rettirn- ing from the dance' at Flesherto-n New Year's night. All country roads were filled full and travel on them has been nepUgible ance. The Eugenia road w»s opened up this Wednesday a£te*noon, but the Sing- hampton road' is impassable for cars. The McCauley snow plow attempted to keep the road open Monday night and reached Badjeros when the storm became so heavy that they were un- able to keep to the road which filled in behind them. Wednesday they were still at Badjeros. The storm continued most of Tueaitoy and again broke out Wednesday ^no-ming in an intense blizza»d, but »q*erists have been enabled to use most of the vill- age streets since Tuesday altemtfonw Rural mails have failed to operate since last Saturday, having had New Year's day as a holiday, and since then it has been impossible for them So travel. Difts on the street in the village are very deep, and it is esti- mated that there is twice the amouirt of snow as we had at the same time last year. However, a blizzard here has not the demoralizing effect as in a larger centM. Toronto has not yet recovered;}fi|^ the terrific beat- ing it toak,i%,<Decemlber. . Only one accident was reported due t-: the severity of the storn\. As- Art Proctor was on his way home to Eugenia from the dance he ran into the rear end of Ted Collins' car, which was mired in a drift at the sand hll, east of town. The force â- >* the blow sho-^ed the Collins thre.u«:u the drift and he was abjj? to k^^:'-. his' haven at the power "Muse. Art wu not So fortunate; as he had to return to town with a bashed-in front end. At the time of the acei'- dent visiBjility was nil and Art had jno idisa what he had hit until he investigated.

When men are suffering and dying â€" when whole po^niations are fac- ing war, starvation, civil conflict, death from- the skies, the wish that their new year shall be a happy and prosperous one seems to be just a little sanctimonicjug! and uot-of place.

Therefore we emiploy them again, in spite of conditions, to ex- press to our readers a wish that ris- es paramount to the Calvary of a world at warâ€" the wish that the year to come may see, through travail the birth of better things which mean, for all mankind, happiness and pros- perity in their best and truest sense. Perhiaips, at the beginning of a year which we trust will see the final triumph of Right over Might there is no better way in which the wish can be expressed than by connecting with it those words so fittingly and beautifully employed by His Majesty the King on his Christmas broad- cast a few years ago, when, things wejB at their blackest: 'T said to a man who stood at the gate of the year: 'Give me a light that I may tread safely into the un- known.' And he replied: 'Go out into the darkness and put your hand into the hand of God. That shall be to you better than "ght and safer •â- '• flie known way!' " The darkness is still' ahead. But in the east the dawn is breaking. May the hand of God go with all those who, at home and on the battle- fronts, are helping bring it to full (Jay as a New Year dawns.

The orange subsidy was allowed two years ago when there was no ceiling price on oranges in the United States. According to Board officials the discontinuance ci the subsidy will not aflfect the sup- ply or the quality of oranges sold in Canada. Substantial supplies of al- ternate sources of -vi-tamin C, includ- ing tomaito juice and vitamized apple juice wUl, it is anticipated, help control prices. V BUTTER RATIONS The total supply of butter in Can- ada on January 1, the date the new six ounce a week ration became effective, was three pounds per person. During the first four months of this year the total amount of but- ter produced will aipproximate five pounds per person holding a ration book. This make a total of eight pounds per person. From this sup- plies for the Armed Services, hos- pitals, the Red Cross, public eating places and other non-coupon- users mus(t be taken. Every prisoner-of- war package contains one pound of butter. The total amount which must be set aside for non-coupon users reduces the amount available to th-cse -with coupons to six pounds. This spread over four months permits a ration of a pound and a half a month.

Really, we don't believe anybody can at this time propfiesy just what is going to ha{^pen after t&e war. It is •all very well for the politi- cians to shoot a lot of tripe about post-war planning. Apparently we are to ei*erge from this war and go right baak to peace-time conditions without even a jolt, except, of course, it is expee^ there will be a couple -of weel^ o^;=o betweeft times. Wc hope nobody is foolish enough to be- lieve all this aiiff, for this is all it is. The politicians haven't said how employments win I'e -issurjjjyr" ivfio is to employ them ? OE'"*iffjrowrnment, in true governmental fasfilon, create a few hundred thoi^acd more government positione-? • The w^ole thing boils down to the fact that "In- dustry", which has always supplied employment, will *> it again. There is no other way. Anybody who ex- pects a politician to - "un anything other than a bluff is a dreamer. About all governments can do is find new things to tax and t&at is" what is the matter with them, now they can't find aqy news sources taxes. And governments never of economy! The great truth of the whole t'onvj; is that Indhs-try and Labor will have to solve their own troubles â€" and they can do it, if the governmeivt and the politicians keep out of the -way. These politicians who -want to have the government take over the majority of industry may be talking good politics from their standi>.int, but it will be fatal to industry and labor. '^he average government couldn't run a wheelbarrow factory successfully. Most of the politicians have too many wheels in their heads as it is. â€" Durham Chronicle.
