As of mid-December, the RCN had 62 warships in commission. These included the aircraft carrier Bonaventure; seven St. Laurent and seven Restigouche class destroyer escorts; 11 older destroyer escorts; 18 frigates, ten minesweepers, two mobile repair ships and six smaller craft. There were also Royal Navy submarines on loan to the RCN and based at Halifax for anti-submarine training purposes. Five new anti-submarine destroyer escortsâ€"HMC Ships Gatineau. Kootenay, Terra Nova, Columbia and Chaudiereâ€"joined the fleet during the year. Returning to service in 1959, but in new roles, were the former maintenance vessels Cape Scott and Cape Breton. Converted into repair ships and stationed on the east and west coasts, respectively, they will give increased mobility to the fleet by providing repair facilities for ships away from home ports. Also commissioned-during the year were three modernized anti-submarine frigatesâ€"the Cap de la Madeleine Vietoriaville and Inch Arran. In the air, there was no increase in numbers, but conspicuous ' progress-was~made_ ln~developing anti-submarine proficiency of both fixed wing and rotary aircraft, and in sharpening the intercept capability of Ihe Navy's guided missile- armed Banshee jet fighters. On December 1, the personnel I strength of the RCN totalled 19',-! 933, consisting of 2,581 officers, I 1.7,187 men and- 165 wrensr-Jâ€"In j addition, there' were 413 officer cadets and 252 technical appren- j tices und<jr training. Serving at sea were 9,831 offi-: j cers and men, 49 per cent of the i ! RCN total. This was probably j the highest proportion everto • bp-serving"at'sea","in "war or. in peace,and one of the highest sea ' shore ratios in any navy. Backing up the regular force were 3,550 officers, cadets, men aiid women of the RCN (Reserve), attached to the. 21 naval -divisions that serve as-training establishments for the naval reserve in cities across Canada. More Canadians • $aw their Navy in 1959 then ever before, first during Ihe Royal Tour, then when 19 - NATO warships j ei(fl>t of litem Canadian-assem-i bled at Toronto for Seaway Year ! celebrations at the Canadian Nh-I lional Exhibition. ! The opening of "the. seaway i permitted major warships of the | RCN to enter the Great Lakes for the first time, and wherever j I hey appeared they, were objects I nf intense interest and warm ; hospitality. r Most-of- theâ€"diips- of-tlltv;flePI had Ihe honor of taking part, one way or another, in the Royal Tour. 'The first and last duties fell to those thai maintained guard along the route of the royal plant's flights across Ihe Atlantic. In-between, and over a period of seven weeks, Canadian wardships escorted the Royal Yacht Britannia olf 111? east coast, in the St. Lawrence and through thr seaway and Great Lakes; to6k part in an international fleet review in Lake St. Louis: carried and escorted the Royal couple from Vancouver lo Na-naimo: provided a brilliant il- lumination and fireworks display off Victoria, .and formed a mile-long avenue of ships past which Hoi; Majesty and His Royal Highness proceeded to'their point of departure from Canada â€" the naval air station. IIMCS Shearwater. Ashore.'.•naval contingents undertook numerous ceremonial .duties, including:the parading of Ihe Queen's Co|or al Victoria and tiie presentation to the RCN of a new Color by Her Majeslv at Halifax. Tluâ€"side-of the Navy tht'public did not se6' in 1959 was the side that received most Of the Navy's attention. This was the training of ships, aircraft and personnel, always with the object of improving efficiency and effectiveness. Continuous training programs (we're carried out,' al sea and ashore, throughout ' the ' year, while during Ihe summer months, special training was provided, on the Great Lakes for members of the RCN (Reserve). In Ihe,Atlantic, RCN ships and aircraft took pari .in several-exorcises wilh units of other NATO n.avies, while in the Pacific, Canadian destroyer escorts p'rac-l.ised with elements of the United Slates Pacific Fleet and a frigate squ idron_visited such places as Hawaii. Fiji and Samoa on training cruises for officer cadets. SERVICE STATION FOR LEASE ___ ; British. American Oil Co.i.XtcL^. ^^__ Bxeellent location in Newmarket.

New Year Superstitions Persist In Modern Age New Year's Day brings a fresh outlook for most people but it also brings numerous old superstitions that have-clung throughout the years. Traditionally, the New Year is the Scots time of celebration more so than Christmas and they are among the most superstitious people of the world. But not only the Scots indulge in this pastime as the idea has infiltrated the minds of almost everyone, regardless of their racial background. ^ I Ranking, first in New Year's beliefs is the first visitor of the year.' According, to the custpin ' Ihe-visilor must be a man. dark â-  for Rood luck, and he must bring ; a" "gift" no matter "wlieilier Ti is' great or small.

What we mean by it varies according to our sense of values. Jesus had much to sav about the secret of real happiness and taught that true happiness is directly related to and dependent on the possession of certain moral and spiritual qualities. These are listed for us in what we call the Beatitudes in St Matthew, chapter five, versus one to 12. These qualities were complete in Jesus and-so-it. is that we cannot but feel that He was the , happiest man who ever lived. True, 11c was "a man of. sorrows and "oquaintcd with grief". 11c knew physical suffering; a crown of thorns was,put on Hint. He knew disappointment: His disciples deserted Him wlieli^Hc needed them most. Yet in spite of everything, in every page of the gospel-. His joy and peace arc evident. What .was the secret of- this i abiding happiness that no ad- ' verse ci iti i iiistaflccs_couidâ€"lake! away? It can be summed up in 1 these:' His absolute trust in God, His boundless hope for the future, His consciousness that He was doing God's will, His knowledge that He was serving others and His sense of God's presence with Him. For us all, this is the road to real happiness. This is the type of happiness we wish for our friends when we greet them with "A Happy New Year." F. A. HARDNAN Keswick representative.
