Almost every news release and survey fro m authoritative sources indicate that Ganada in 1956 had its most prosperous year and that 1957 should be even better. This should b. good news for everyone. While locally there have been varying reports of business activity during the past year, most retailers and other businessmen will show imhprovement over 1955, al- though ixýcreased expenses may offset a large portion if not al cf their grass gains In sales. Christmas trade here was excep- tionally bright in most lines, a factor grati- fying ta merchants who, fearful of the Impact cf Oshawa's new shopping centre, invested money in new Christmas street lighting and other promotional endeavours. This trend toward expanded co-operation among merchants' under Chamber cf Com- ierce auspices should improve during 1957 as results show it paying off in attracting customers te the Bowmanville shopping area. The smugness and indi- viduality cf past years by some merchants has gane, we hope, and a new era cf joint effort towards boosting Bowmanville gen- erally should resuit in several promotional 'schemes which will net only improve the town's appearance but also produce more business. There is every reason ta assume that employment locally will be maintain- j 1 It's lnteresting ta note that odor, its presence or absence, is big business in the United States and is growing rapidly.

Canada-wide and locally, there lias been some complaining about tight credit, but the year ended with a record grass national product cf 2914~ billion dollars, 1117 above 1955. The economists say this will rise in 1957, but, at the moment, no definite predictions have been made. Naturally, in this expanding produc- tion, there have been a few soft spots such as textiles and farming, but these may improve during the coming year. The demand for TV sets was not as strong as in 1955 and no great "splurge" in this field is expected for this ye'ar. In this area, we feel that, barring a major conflict, there will be considerable growth in the coming year. House build- ing may not be as strong as in 1956, but there is plant expansion at Goodyear and every likelihood that new industry will decide ta locate here. This district shculd continue ta expand in population, emplay- ment and business opportunities. In short, we in Durham have every reason ta feel optimistic about the immed- iate and long-term future. This district is one cf the most fortunate in Canada in almost every respect with a future as bright as our individual and collective efforts wish ta make it. 25 YEARS AGO (1931) Heaviest vote in years was polled in the municipal election with W.

Gordon Coti To Orono Sc The annual meeting of Orono Public Scbool was held on Wed- nesday evening, Dec. 26, with 40 ratepayers present. Mr. J. C. Gamey acted as chairman and Mr. H. E. Milison as secretary. During the election of Trustees for the Board, Mr. Gordon Cot- ter was elected to replace Mr. F. E. Lycett, the retiring Trustee who stated that he had served on the Board for six years and wished ta be relieved of anotber three-year term. Mr. Lycett de- clined his nomination as did Messrs. R. J. Taggart and R. C. Forrester. The résignation of Mr. John Tamblyn was also re- ceived and a vote of thanks was tendered Mr. Tamblyn for bis 30 years on the Board. A motion was passed by Mr. C. T. Miller and Mr. R. R. Wad- deli, nominating Mr. F. E. Lycett to fili the vacancy created through the resignation of Mr. Tamblyn. It was the feeling of the meeting that tbey would like to have two members on tbe Board *who bad previously held office. Mr. Lycett accepted his nomination for the one year terin. The Board for 1957 will be Messrs. Fred Lycett, Horace Best and Gordon Cotter. The Chairman, Mr. F. E. Lycett, spoke of the financing of the new addition which is now completely paid for. The gov- ernment will assume 40% of the total cost of $12,031.38, the Dis- trict High School Board 4/7 and the Orono Section 3/7 of the re- maining 60%7. Mr. Lycett feit that they had been fortunate that no debenture bad ta be issued and that the High Scbool hacl agreed to pay their share in the one year. Tbe chaîrman also drew attention to thc factI th at the Iast debenture pavnenti of $715.17 for he east wing had 49 YEARS AGO (1908) Mr. Alex Taylor announced that he had fitted the Drill Shed for a skating rink.

Mr. Dent asked about the. future accommodation for stu- dents to which. Mr. Lycett re- plied tbat it is expected that the new pupils for 1957 will total around 30. This was founided1 on tbe fact that 31 cblldren were vaccinated for polio this year from the village who were cf school age, ta start this coming September. Mr. Lycett stated that tbey were going ta have ta open another classroom a year from. this coming September. No definite time. He did men- tion the possibility that plans were laid for this at the. present, of opening a classroom. in the north basement. A discussion followed on chUl- dren being able ta go ina scbool at noon bours from 12:30 ta 1:15. At present public school cbildren are not allowed in the. school during this period and sorne felt that cbildren brînging their lunches sbould have access ta at least tbe lunch room during the period and especially on days of inclement weather. After considerable discussion a motion by Messrs. J. Rickaby and G. Cot- ter was passed that those con- cerned bring this matter before the Board at their next regular meeting. Christmas mail.
