By the newly-adapted rotation meth- ods double this number ultimately will be enabled to maintain their families through the difficult months ahead. The workers will 'be recruited from the counties of Victoria, Haliburton, Peter- borough, Hastings. Renfrew and Lan- ark, “and the projects should solve the winter unemployment problem through- out that entire area,” said Mr, Croll. Both Mr. Heenan and Mr. CrOll stressed the fact that the road pro- gram made a major contribution to the province’s highway system. A new link between Peterborough and Pembroke will cut a full 100 miles from the motor- ing distance between Toronto and Ben- frew county centres; this road will pass through Burleigh Falls, Bancroft and Barrie’s Bay. The road from Madoc to Bancroft will be improved. and so give an additional means of access to the new northern highway. Paralelling the present highway No. 8, but 40 miles to the north, will be the Monck Road, built along the route of one of the first military roads in Ontario.‘ It will run from Orillia to Bancroft and Danby.

One of the six Grey municipalities holding municipal elections this year. the voters of Egremont Township cast their ballots on Monday of this week to choose their municipal representatives for 1935. Reflecting the general feeling which seemed to be against Iholding elections this year, the vote in Egre- mont was very light, not more than 50 per cent. of the registered voters tak- ing the trouble to cast their ballots. Those who did vote however were quite decided in their opinions and all those elected were given majorities of up- wards to 200. Reeve Himter was returned to office with a majority of 184 over his oppon- ent, John A. Ferguson, and Samuel M.

Staff, Friends and Neighbors: “I wish you all a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. I wish. to tell you my experiences in connection with beer and whiskey when I was a small boy, nearly 70 years ago now. At a very early age I joined the Temperance Union and I hope others do likewise. When I was living on Cork Town Hill, south of Durham I remember the beer pedlars going from Guelph to Owen Sound selling it from house to house by the keg. The people would sell butter at 10 and 11 centsapound,eggsat8c a dozen to pay for it. taking the bite out of their children’s mouths. When harvest came along they threshed the wheat with the flail in those days, to keep the children from starving. Then they would take it to the mill to get a little flour. There they would talk of the revenue, asking: ‘Where does it come from?’ For the amount that is got from those who drink when com- pared with the effect beer and whiskey- drunk men produce on society it would be better for them to throw their money down the river. “It was through a Christian Temper- ance friend who came along and told father that the boys would be drunk- ards and that he had better move back in the bush, that we moved. We bought a farm in the ninth concession of Ben- tinck. There was a temperance pledge in the church which I signed and for which I thank God. I was converted to God at that time. I was at logging and ploughing bees, stoning and mow- ing bees before the extensive use of machinery. where beer and whiskey were as plentiful as water. From what I have seen of the results I think a temperance pledge ought to be hung up in church and school house for old and 'young to sign. It would be a true aid to the ousting of the depression if peo- ple would spend their money. to buy food from the farmer, instead of boom. “I would not like to do without your paper as it is like a letter from home. I hope you are all well, as we are here. where the grass is green and the flowers are blooming.” We thank Mr,'1‘wamley for his kindly reference to the Chronicle, our only re- gret being that we have not the ability or ingenuity to make it an even bet- ter letter from home. “Now I hope this letter will help some. in making their decision to follow tem- perance as I have.
