Harrison, The Colborne Chronicle, COLBORNE, Ontario. Dear Bill: It is always a pleasure to have the opportunity to extend my best wishes to the readers of The Colborne Chronicle as we approach another new year. While the advent of the New Year is a joyous occasion, it is also an appropriate time for stock taking -- it is a fitting time for a review of pur successes and failures in order that we may profit in the future. During the past decade Canada has become a powerful and influential force in world affairs and it is a source of great satisfaction that the farm and urban people of Ontario have played such a large part in the development of our country. The loyalty and industry of the people of this great Province have provided a firm foundation on which we shall continue to build. We in Canada, and particularly in Ontario, have been bountifully endowed by nature with productive soil and the wealth of our forests and mines. We are fortunate too, in that we have been blessed with peace and plenty in a world that has seen far too much of war and too little food. I would indeed be remiss if I did not make some mention of the industry that to me is of paramount importance -- that, of course, is agriculture. Generally speaking, 1960 has been a satisfactory year for the Ontario farmer. While seeding got off to a late start owing to unfavourable weather conditions, a good growing season and an open fall compensated for the unfavourable start. It is anticipated that final production figures for the year will indicate that the farmer will be in a somewhat better position than in 1959. While steady progress is being made in agricultural science, there still remains much to be done. As each day passes it is evident there is ever-increasing recognition of the economic importance of our agricultural industry. We must maintain this appreciation by continued improvement of quality products accompanied by sound marketing practices. May I wish you all a very happy and profitable New Sincerely yours, BILL GOODFELLOW DOVE'S LUNCH Day and Night Service Phone 131 Colborne Try Our Lunch Room for good food with prompt & courteous service 24 Stools and Tables A Full Line of Soft Drinks and Smokes ALL POPULAR TYPES Generator & Regulator Exchanges EXPERT REPAIRS ON Automotive Electrical Units, Radiators Electric Motors GRAYDON ELECTRIC Phone 239 Toronto St. COLBORNE
