TURN OVER A NEW PAGE This Week ushers in the New Year and regardless of the prospect for the future the flight of time is as inevitable as the grave. The old year has been a good one withal and a certain measure of earthly happiness has been meted out to each and everyone. Greater stabiliz- ation in business and industry and increased prosperity are some of the material benefits which the goddess of plenty has brought in her cornucopia. The farmer has had a bountiful harvest and ours is more than ever the granary of an empire. Our country is at peace and we should be thankful for this fact. Our Canadian money has returned to its proper place among the currencies of the world. These things are material blessings but as to immaterial or spiritual gains we can- not say, it is an individual matter. The joys and blessings brought to Canada as a whole are reflected in miniature in the happiness and prosperity of a community. With the old year, however. we are now finished except for the experience gained from its errors or satisfact- ion in the memory of its triumphs. To many the advent of the new year is disheartening inasmuch as it marks the passing of another milestone in the race, with little accomplished yet. To the great ma- jority it is expressive of the contentment of the toiler who views his work when it is well done. The coming year may bring its sorrows, but it will also bring its joys and all earthly happiness is mingled with sorrow. To those whose efforts are directed to a ligitimate objective there can be no doubt that success will be theirs. May the new year bring to those people still torn by war and internal dissension, some settlement of their differences and a return to peace without which there can be no progress or prosperity. To the citizens of York County may it bring peace, harmony and prosperity. To the manu- facturer and laborer may it herald the coming of the day when they may work in co-operation and unison. Let us turn the page with Father Time and commence anew. I pray Almighty God that the words I write in this house may be pure and honestâ€"that they be dictated by no personal spite, un- worthy motive or unjust greed for gain; that they may tell the truth as far as I know itâ€" and tend to promote love and peaceâ€" amongst men. There is more than a grain of truth in the following, written by one who has made a study of human problems, and it is particularly appropriate at this season as a good resolution for the NewlYear. “As I grow older I find myself less disposed to find fault with other people. Can we not all learn the lesson and find less fault? Just who are we and where are we going, that we should spend our time criticising the other fellow? If we could all of us but find some way to spread a little more sunshine â€" to add a little more happiness to the lives of our fellow humans, what a wonderful thing it would be!” This is also good advice for the citizen Who makes it a pracâ€" tice to criticize the work of his fellow‘ citizens who are giving their services in public office. The Canadian government has undertaken a praiseworthy effort towards the education of the people of his country in knowing the beauties of Canada. Announcement has been made that a series of films, “Know Your Canada” has'been released by the government for showing in the principal motion picture houses throughout the country with the idea of placing before Canadians something of the beauty- spots of their own land. Patrons of motion picture theatres have become accustomed to the travel films which are shown in nearly every theatre, but which usual- ly deal with scenes in other countries. These are highly entertaining and educational, and are greatly enjoyed. The Canadian travel films are apparently intended to perform a similar purpose, with the added objective of helping theatre-goers to realize that in their own country there are scenes which are as great as can be found in any other. The government is to be commended in taking this means of advertising Canada’s attractions, and the theatre managers will find an appreciat- ive public Will take kindly to the innovation. More than usual interests surrounds an appeal which was heard recently by Judge Gould at Hamilton, and which he dismissed. Mag- istrate Jeffs had imposed a fine upon a motorist convicted of driving a car with glaring headlights, and the offender took his case to a higher court, only to have the conviction sustained. Prosecutions of this kind, in spite of the oftâ€"repeated warnings, have been few and far between in Ontario. Police officers have ap- parently been unwilling to enforce the law in this respect, and the re- sult has been that little attention has been given to it. Magis- trate J effs example is a good one to follow, for there are few things which are more likely to cause accidents on the highways of Ontario than the use of headlights which temporarily blind drivers coming in the opposite direction.
