In the spirit of the new year the layout staff has been attempting to provide a more at- tractive appearance thal wiil altract your atten- tion and gel away- from a routine, stereotyped look. Many other changes will take place during the year in an effort to always keep The Statesman up-to-date. t. t t t t NO JOKE - One rural correspondent sent a f ran tic message to the Editor on Tuesday to delete one item that had been sent in. Apparentiy, some joker had thought il was funny to have il in the paper thal a couple were moving out of the area when in fact il was not true at ail. It was nlo joke for the correspondent who takes considerable pride in being accurate. t. t t t t NO NEWS - Mrs. Minnie McHolm, our octogen- arian correspondent fromn Morrish advises that she wiil be spending the next few weeks out of the area. Il would be appreciated if Morrish residents wouid send in any news direct to the office in Bowmanviile untîl Mrs. McHolm returmis. t t t t t DISGUSTING - Florida correspondent Alan Knight, formerly of Bowmanvilie, writes that he, bis wife Helen and son John enjoyed Christmas Day silting oulside their apartment in shorts with the temperature at 74'. He may be interested to, learn that Doug Carter spent part of Christmas ieve galhering dew worms bere and the Editor washed two cars oulside on Christmas afternoon. But, il wasn't any 74'. T T t t t MAY LOSE - The several hundred farmers in Durham County who have invesled considerable amounîs in FAME, the proposed meal packing projecl, must be quite worried at the present time. An additionai $20,000 was raised at a meeting in Orono recently, but they stili were unable ta meet the million dollar payment on the Fearman plant on lime. However, from reports, il wouid appear the door is stili open, so they niay yet be able to raise sufficient fîînds to float the project. Other- wise, a ]arge amnount of money will have gone down the speculative drain.
