if 3 Our Readers Write Letters editor are always welcome but the writers must be known to the editor of The Editor January 18 Id answer to a letter appeared In the issue of January 4 about real good enter tainment especially a theatrical play as a member of the New market Dramatic club would like to inform the writer and pub lic that our club has been in ex istence for a good number of years producing good plays well enacted but at times poorly at tended by the public These past two years approxi- seven of our active mem bers left town or left the group for personal and business reasons Consequently there was no def inite dramatic club for that per iod am now happy to say that we have at the present approxi mately members and volun teers We have a temporary provisional committee and next week we hope to elect a com pletely new executive and start casting for a new play for a ten date in early May So once again our Dramatic raised its head and sights for a comeback and we hope that with the encourage ment and enthusiasm of the town people and the surrounding towns that we will be able to produced two plays a year Anyone interested in joining any one of the various phases of the group will be very wel come Sincerely Lillian Dear Sir May I have a spot of your val ued white space in which to say that if the predictions reported in the daily newspapers dealing with the findings of the Gordon Royal Commission on tomorrows Can ada in the material- OPTIMISM BY REN STEPHENS Promise yourself to forget the mistakes of the past and press on to the achievements of the future from the Optimist Creed The joys and festivities of a wonderful holiday season arc ov er We find ourselves encircled by many New Years resolutions some practical some far away some broken some still remain ing yet for others some which will soon be forgotten In spite of ridicule these reso lutions have a definite place in our lives They have been termed selfimposed and selfcorrected examination papers We review our mistakes and our successes what we have learned and how we have applied it We check these over against what really should have been and what we should have done The result gives us our marks In the light of this yearend standing we decide what we shall try to do in the coming term Thus evolve our resolutions New Years resolutions arc in a way our firm decisions

Optimism Ken Stephens our farmers look like continu ing the unhappy role of the ex ception to the general prosperity rule If I remember correctly al though there are likely to be a- 26000000 Canadians calling for the farmers products both food and fiber according to the above experts agricultures slice of the nations gross national pro duct is to drop to about six per cent from the current From my viewpoint this doesnt look so hot if one may say so as my neighbor put it What a contrast to the findings of one of your fin ancial contemporaries The Post Toronto after querying ex ecutives across Canada As re corded in your editorial columns as we moved across the threshold of concerning the outlook for the New Year The majority look for higher sales higher wage rates and employment steady-to- higher prices of the products they sell and higher costs for the mat erials they must buy Of course I realizethat there is power in the weathermans plans to send the bestlaid schemes of clever little Man into the waste- basket but I suppose it would be fair to assume that the learned commissioners predictions are based on normal conditions as to weather and an era of a quurter- clear of major war or economic depressions What bothers me in this mass ive problem is that it is hard to see tomorrows welltrained big rural businessmen fewer farm ers and larger farms willing to remain at the foot of the income class after supplying food and fib er to another 10 million Canadians in town and city Even today according to my reading every third industrial plant in this resourcerich no less in the industrial empire to the southl wouldnt turn a wheel automation or not until their raw materials come in from North American farms Is the rural laborer not worthy of his hire PUZZLED t f The Newmarket it Library A puppet show is fun Last Saturday at the Story Hour in the Newmarket Public Library we had one and boys and girls come to enjoy it The story was taken from The Adventures of Robin Hood how Robin be came outlawed his meeting with Little John the shooting match at Nottingham Town and how Robin met Friar Tuck About two months ago a grade eight boy asked at the desk for a book on puppets and we gave him Easy Puppets by Gertrude Pels A week or so later he returned with a pal and they had each made a papier- mache puppet head and painted it They were really well done and we suggested that they manufacture hair and clothes for them Somehow our repeated conver sations just grew the idea that they prepare puppets and a stage and that we would produce some story When we looked closely at the puppets one of them loojted like a good Robin Hood and away the boys went full of enthusiasm They made the stage scenery costumes and seven puppets You should have seen the swords the hats the staff and the clothes worn by the characters Then too they practised manipulating the hand puppets until they almost be came alive We say thank you to these fine puppetplay ers Bob Paige and Terry Walker In February there will be an other show produced by another group of children and in Marsh an experienced puppetplayer will do a show Every Saturday at am we enjoy a story hour together at the
