commission has done considerable o promote this very fine feature the lighted christmas tree and the colored lights on the street have added a great deal to the lighting of the main streets the plan of business places joining in the scheme has however not made a great deal of progress possibly one of the reasons is that there are too many making collections of christmas color ed lights with a cessation of some of the vandalism there would be an incentive for an extension of this splendid christmas lighting effect perhaps a few more homes would enter the schermoo it some assurance was to be

impediments that had to be surmounted to make the way easier going sgain as editor of actons paper we have appreciated these many things that mark the closing year as a pleasant one to ennumerate them would be impos sible to say that we can at the moment recall every one of them would be stretching the truth but as 1037 closets we say thank you saturday we open a new book a year of oppor tunity for

affects the life yes more than even happi ness health and prosperity how much more if ontario has a liquor control board it cer tainly belies its middle name there isnt a doubt about it that liquor in this province is badly out of control the horror of last christmas was belittled by what occurred this year toronto hamilton and other large centres have a record that is pot any cause for pride and the government that sanctioned sale for liquor so promiscuously has the major share in the disgrace thank goodness we in rural ontario were not obliged to minglejn city traffic with its drivers in all sorts of conditions but we saw plenty of the effects of the present policy of selling liquor there was a splendid crop of young drinkers brought on during the holiday they were a sorry sight and parents who have to raise young people among such condi tions are to be pitied wc dont profess to know where they procured the intoxicants but evidence- was not lacking that they had been procured perhap3 if they had seen themselves they would not be so anxious to appear again in such u state if ontario has to stagger about in this state to balance the budget it is time that the welfare of its citizens is put ahead of financial gain the present liquor sale policy hadnt done one of the good things claimed for it andhas lived up to all the dire pre dictions made by prohibitionists surely we have had sufficient experimentation surely sufficient young folks have already been enmeshed surely each christmas cannot continue to be more black than its predecessor t h e d e luxe the standard

from hydroelectric developments a feature of hydropower which is not so gener ally recognized has to do with the utilization of low- grade ores in these deposits the margin of profit is narrow and the price of power is often the- determin ing factor in making successful operation passible canadas abundance of lowcost hydro power has made possible the development of many of the lower grade ore
