Car traffic is at a standstill on the back â€"roads and some on the highway are unable to get hrough heir lanes . Santa Claus was in Durham on Satâ€" urday and in his usual jolly manner treated the children to their candy BWA mag. vellev.le was halted by order of poâ€" lice. It seems a strange irony of fate that the railways had to send out special traing to transport passengers held up by motor bus blockades, to their destination. ‘ with a food shortage and the mail carâ€" rier made a hazardous trip Saturday to Wiarton, causing a Wiarton baker to do "business as usual" all day Sunâ€" day,to supply the northern district. Eastern Ontario from Port Hope to Quebec, was hard hit by the blizzards. For hours all road traffic east of The Bruce peninusula was locked tight in a snow blizzard for four days and are now only beginning to get in touch with the rest of the world. The village of Tobermory, at the head of the peninsula, was threatened _ One of the worst December storms in many years as regards snow and zero temperature, has been the fate of Ontario in general and sections of it in particular. The Niagara Peninâ€" sula has been through one of the worst blizzards in its history traffic being at a stand still for days. â€" The Government snow plows have been working overtime, in an effort to keep the highways open. f But these conjectures are merely street talk and the night of Dec.27th, is the night for the ratepayers to nominate their 1938 rulers, ald McQueen, Jas. Duffield, Bert Stoneouse, W, S. McGowan and Geo. McKechnie. They have all been faithâ€" ful to the town‘s interests, but the question is do they want the position again. _ Donald McQueen‘s name has been ment.oned for the Mayor‘s chair, also that of W. S. McGowan. A new name broached to us was that of R. L. Saunders. and all we can say to this suggestion is that should he prove as good a financier for the town as for himself, he is the right man for the place. The counc.1 board have been runâ€" ning but five strong since the death last May of one of their number,â€" Cameron Lauder. These five are Donâ€" But Durham‘s municipal aspirants ,am not worrying over their "Merry Christmas". as far as their municipal [aeats are concerned. In fact the right people for these municipal seats are ! not worrying enough. There is at presâ€" i ent a decided apathy as to aspirants | for the civic seats. To hold a civic ofâ€" i fice should be a duty of any business | man even though he (or she) attach | little honor to it. Personally we would | like to see a dozen aspirants for the :councfl positions and several for the | mayoralty and reeveship. We state | this, not because of any â€" dissatisfacâ€" | tion with the present municipal board, As far as we we can learn, Mayor Macdonald has no keen desire for the big chair again and plans to retire, though he has avoided the rocks and shoals quite well. As for the reeveâ€" ship, W. S. Hunter knows the ropes so well after several years in office, that no one seems keen to enter a contest with him. It looks like a return trip. . bit rather to see life and interest on election day and not so much acclamâ€" ation. Acclamations may let the town off in election costs, but too many of them are bad for any town. They do not register public opinion. The majority of the municipalities surrounding Durham have their nomâ€" inations and elections over and the officials elected are ready to act at the.r finst meeting in the new year.. To some electors, the early election is to their liking and to others, not so good. The city of Toronto tried the early date this year but has voted to revert to the New Year election date next year, Certainly the early elecâ€" tion gives a more "Merry Christmas" to a candidate, than he would have with an election pending a week hence.

We learned of many unions which took place in each of the three uniting churches of 1925 : the Pres. church, representing the reâ€" sult of some 24 sections in 1875; the Methodist having brought together 16 branches in 1884, and in the Conâ€" gregational church three independent organizations were included about the sime years.
