Back in the farâ€"gone date of Oct. 6, 1933, a Fort Erie citizen, Joey O‘â€" Connor, a 60â€"yearâ€"old resident of that place, prognosticated the winter we were about to have. It is now interâ€" esting to take tab on it and see how far out or in, he was. He claims he has been prognosticating for 12 years and never made a wrong prediction. Do#s Weather Tally with Forecast? _The past year has been parâ€" tTeularly difficult for our railâ€" M and there seems little reaâ€" about it. We see along the road leading to its end more clearly and further than we did a year ago. That fact has inspired conâ€" fidence and courage and has started us moving towards the better times that broadened prosâ€" perity will bring to all. ‘The road is not an easy one; there are long hills and difficult spots, but it offers no danger or problem too great to be surmounted by the «courage and energy of the Canaâ€" «dian people. We have before us zroblema that will tax the ingenuâ€" y and strength of our leaders in statescraft, finance and industry and make great demands upon the patience and understanding of our people, but if these problems are met with courage and dealt with in accordance with the laws of sound economics which are as reâ€" lentlessly unchangeable as the laws of nature, this country will emerge from the purging in far better shape to progress than it has ever been before, and indiviâ€" dual prosperity for all classes of our people will be more firmly established. _ I believe that the elusive corner we were hoping to turn through many weary months, #lipped past us all unnoticed some time ago, and that we have definâ€" itely passed through the worst and most trying phase of the qi Giifi in t th B ol th la‘s rail freight back to the Eigures of a few years ago.

Nothing that has since happened has tended to change my convieâ€" tion that in these proposals lies the only sound ultimate solution of the difficulty. _ I can think of nothing short of this that may be attempted that will offer adeâ€" quate relief from an economic drain that has in it all the possiâ€" bilities of national disaster. I have reason to believe, also, that the to be the only possible solution for that problem.

I do not believe that any thinking Canadian viewing nationâ€" al affairs without prejudice, will deny that the drain upon public and individual wealth consequent upon the general railway situaâ€" tion continues to overâ€"shadow all other problems, and it is by far the most important difficulty that has to be surmounted before the way to prosperity lies open before The thickness of the bark on the north side of elm trees.
