Country folk, are going to watch anxiously to see the progress of the new year. One thing is sure we don't expect it to be worse behaved than the one which left, rather shamefully looking back at the gloomy faces of the farmers, the hog raisers and the beef cattlemen. No, it may not get better but we don't look for condi- tions to get much worse but then farmer folk thrive on the gamble which we have learned to live owned a calf or had our own patch of garden. with from the day when we first It's no wonder that that old bird in the hand tale appeals so much to farm folk.

If be as beneficial to our Canada as ball players, for he has made 1952 'a big year for Canada's place in the United Nations organization and brought Canada to an enviable position -in world affairs. All of our country mourned the death of the late King George of England not only as a sovereign but also as a man who had fought a good fight and finished his course and-it-is-with-the-same-interest------- and admiration that we look forward to the coronation in the new year of our Queen. Not long ago we followed with interest the visit of this girl and her husband across our own land. We looked for and found happy signs of a good marriage partnership. We loved her in her most lavish gowns for in them she took us back to our "childhood -and fulfilled any delayed dreams of fairy princesses, We watched her husband and were happy to find many signs_too that showed that Philip was definitely an individual and not to be passed over lightly as the man who married a queen.

Maybe we will make a few re- solutions, perhaps some- of the same ones that we -made--last year-- ¥ but it is better to Ary again thaw either to feel-that resolutions are---- of no value or that we have no:need to put forth any effort. Heaven help us if we are satisfied with ourselves as we stand at the thresh- "hold of the new year, rather may- we keep--reaching-out-for-some--- "thing better, more lasting and farther reaching.
