Toronto, has attempted to take a telegraph poll from newspaper editors and business executives across Canada, as to what was thought of our Government or what might best be done now to improve matters.Naturally the answers are varied.Some business leaders look to 1942 as being a very difficult year for industry.due to the fact that essential supplies for manufacture will not likely be available in quantities or at the time when desired.Others feel that the necessities for war supplies will see some lines of business overtaxed.As to the political arena at Ottawa the newspaper publishers.selected at random.gave varied expressions.The recognized Tory publishers who started harping on Union Government at the time of the 1940 election are still supporting that attitude.perhaps to save their faces as much as anything else.Then we find newspapers that were always regarded as Liberal-minded.but who were swinging toward Unionism.recognize today that Premier King is the man to carry Canada through this war: as Churchill will do for Great Britain.Editor W.R.Legge.Granby Leader-Mail and President of the Canadian Weekly Newspapers\u2019 Association.has been regarded as conducting a newspaper with Conservative leanings.yet here is what Mr.Legge has to say on the question:\u2014 \u201cI feel that changes at the present time in the directorate of our war effort should be kept to a minimum and should only be made when gross incompetence is shown.I am convinced that the present government is making a sincere effort and it is doubtful if a change could result in any improvement.If all political parties were to be included, considerable confusion would certainly result.\u201d H.A.Graybiel, Border Cities Star, Windsor, Ont., one of Canada\u2019s greatest daily newspapers, is highly regarded for his writings and wisdom in political judgments, and here is what the editor of that paper has to say in The Financial Post:\u2014 \u201cCanada\u2019s war effort should undoubtedly not be restricted by party limitations, but there is, in my opinion.little basis today for the charge that the government is making this a \u201cOne Party\u201d war.While the Cabinet is predominantly Liberal, the most recent appointment demonstrates the Prime Minister's sincere desire to obtain representation of all classes, irrespective of party affiliation.Ap- printments to senior positions in the various boards directing economy and production also display a lack of regard for politics.I would hesitate to give support to any move for \u201cNational\u201d government in any such vague or general terms.Too often such coalitions are formed with the one aim of giving a certain proportion of representation to each party, and are thus essentially political in character.Wouldn't it be a good idea for all Canadians to forget politics and get on with the war?\u201d Many newspapers expressed almost opposite opinions as to the two here reproduced.If, as an individual, you would go about this town, or any town you wish, and ask individuals if they are in favour of supporting Premier King and the Liberal Government, you would be surprised how many Conservatives as well as Liberals would say yes, and also that they are satisfied with the progress Canada has made in the war effort.We make this last statement not based upon idle guess work, but upon actual contacts made during the past two months when we asked folks just such questions.The Gleaner contends that Canada needs party government in order to maintain a constructive opposition.Our survey findings prove to us that the rural public in general feel the Liberal government under the leadership of Premier King is keeping abreast of the times and is making what changes in its Ministers of the Crown that are essential and at the psychological time.Premier King's deferred trip to England demonstrated his political astuteness.A united working Canada, to win the war might well pin its faith in the Liberal Government without wasting time and effort through creating a new Government at this hour.The British Government is standing firm behind Premier Churchill; let us not break faith with the party Canada elected to office s0 recently as March 1940.Let's not change horses when in the midst of battle, or because the Conservative party has selected a new leader in the Hon.Arthur Meighen.The Conservative party under the excellent leadership of the Hon.Arthur Meighen can certainly perform a real war benefit work through offering constructive criticism rather than being united in a Union government.As to Union Government here is what Mr.Hugh Tempiin, Fergus, Ont., has to report in Financial Post:\u2014 \u201cI have recently returned from months spent in Britain and feel Canadians must do more and will do 80, if they are awakened to the need.I remember the last union government and don't want another.\u201d Producing Cash Crops N 1942 farmers will want cash and more cash than in past years.Dairying is admittedly not as lucrative as it ought to be; consequently, many of our dairy farms are not stocking as large herds as their farms can support.Our farmers are loyal citizens to the Crown and it is but natural they should want to do all that is within their power to aid in this war against the Nazis.Producing cash crops that will aid to feed the people of Britain and the armed forces is therefore going to be part of the chore for our farmers to perform.Labor problems face our farmers and as dairying is a form of agriculture that requires efficlent help many of our farms will just have to devote fields to producing crops that can be marketed to advantage.Mr.G.E.Govier of Howick, who is general manager of the G.E.Govier & Co.Reg'd., along with the secretary-treasurer, Miss C.A.Newman.and their Agricultural Representative.J.R.L.Marshall, were in Huntingdon recently and are laying plans for the contracting of acreage with local farmers with a view to produce pea seed on our farms.The seed will in due turn be shipped to Great Britain where it will be planted to produce food for our staunch Britishers and the army.Britain must have its pea seed so here is one way our farmers can produce a cash crop and still perform a war service at the same time.1941 was not a very good season for producing field crops and the returns for pea seed were not as commendable as might naturally have been expected.Ordinarily this district has plenty of moisture and lean crops are rare: if 1942 is average in this respect our farmers who contract to plant a seed pea crop with the G.E.Govier & Co.Reg'd.they ought 10 reap commendable returns for their effort.From what we have béen able to learn from Mr.Govier.their company supplies the necessary seed whilst the farmer supplies the land, and cultivates the crop according to the instructions given by their agricultural representative, Mr.Marshall.In 1941 approximately 400 acres of seed pea seed was grown in the Beauharnois district for this company.Most of the seed was planted on heavy clay land and it is felt that if it were planted on the lighter soil, such as we have in the upper part of the Chateauguay Valley, the returns would be greater.In 1941.it was a dry season.Two growers received financial returns that made nearly $60.per acre; three growers received nearly $50.per acre and seven growers between $30.and $40.per acre; 50% of the local growers received approximately $20.per acre.This latter figure was not as high as would have been the returns if the season had been more normal as to moisture, Farmers who are interested in learning more about producing a seed pea crop would do well to get in touch with Mr.J.R.L.Marshall at Howick.A Happy and Victorious New Year \\TEXT to the wish \u201cA Merry Christmas,\u201d there is no greeting as sincere and universal as \"A Happy New Year.\u201d This year we must add to this greeting \u201cVictorious\u201d for without victory to the cause we are now fighting to obtain we cannot hope to be overjoyed or truly happy at all times.The Christmas spirit of friendliness, goodwill and good humor carries through to the New Year, and the hope is honest and strong in the hearts of all that success and happiness shall be the lot of each and all during the new year.Even in these times of war there is sincerity and faith in the wish.To the many who faced a joyless Christmas the seasun has been one of deep pleasure because of the kindness of others and the conviction that they are remembered and cared for.A year ago we all felt there was a strong probability that Hitler would attempt to raid Great Britain as he so accomplished raids in European countries and also attempted upon Russia.Though the tempo of war increased during 1941 no attempt has been made to land troops in Britain, consequently, the toll of death amongst our soldiers has been greatly curtailed; for that we are certainly truly thankful and for which we might well be happy.In Canada our responsibility is growing every day, if we can only clear away that mist of unimportant things, in order to see it more clearly.We in Canada have never been used to thinking about any serious international situation that might change our fortunes in the world, before.It is a new thing to this nation, but we should, in this new year of 1942, make an effort to see clearly what this war really means.We shall have to see that the war is not just bombs killing people, or torpedoes sinking ships, or the armies taking prisoners, but of an attempt by a fanatical group, backed by a sheep-minded people, to destroy our religion, our government, our mode of life, and every institution that we in the British Empire hold dear.The more we think of this factor, the quicker we shall understand many things.One of our main responsibilities is to think deeply and quickly, and then act decisively! The new year also brings with it a further and also a very important responsibility.It calls upon all Canadian citizens to work, encourage, save and fight for the cause more than ever before.We are faced with the responsibility of aiding the war effort with all owr might; of putting all the physical, mental, moral and persuasive strength into the war that we possibly can.True there are other things that will engage our attention in the new year, but the winning of the war is the main one, for unless the war is won, what will religion, social position, possessions, culture and accomplishment mean to any of us?The new year of 1942 brings with it a challenge to us all to see this war through, until.1852 if need be, but certainly to see it through with sacrifice, hero-, ism and true British courage and efficiency.That is our outlook for 1942.Can we measure up to this great responsibility?Hemmingford Constable Duncan Lindsey and family of Toronto, spent the Christmas holiday at Mrs.Lindsey\u2019s home.Mrs.Harold McNaughton returned home on Wednesday from the General Hospital, Montreal.Mrs.S.D.Cunningham has returned home from Montreal.The following are spending the Christmas holidays at their respective homes: Misses Edna Hadley, Montreal, Millicent Orr, Montreal, Gladys Smirle, Betty and Huntley McKay, Bernice Smirle, McMasterville, Marjorie White, Beech Grove, Ann Reid, Stanstead College.Mr.and Mrs.Earle Martin of St.Johns, are spending a few days at the home of Mr.W.P.Fisher.Miss Norma Hamilton of Mooers, N.Y, is guest at the Reid home.Mr.and Mrs.R.H.Monk and son Allen, of Montreal, are spending two weeks at their home here.Mr.and Mrs.Robert Akester and son Norman, of Roxham, spent Christmas at the home of Mr.and Mrs.Robert Hadley.Miss Laura Cookman of Montreal, is visiting her mother, Mrs.Wm.Cookman.Christmas Tree.\u2014 At the United Church Hall, a large number of friends gathered on Tuesday evening, Dec.23rd to attend the Christmas concert under the leadership of the Sunday School pupils, teachers and ofticers, Rev.Burt, B.D, DD, acted as chairman and everyone enjoyed the lengthy programme prepared and executed by the 5.8.pupils and friends.At the close Santa Claus appeared and unloaded the laden tree, and candy was distributed to each child in audience.Powerscourt Mr, Alex.Wallace of Toronto, is spending the Christmas weekend with his parents, Mr.and Mrs.J.M.Wallace.Mr.and Mrs.Melvin Myatt spent Christmas Day with his parents, Mr.and Mrs.Amos i Myatt.i Miss Margaret Hendrickson of | Montreal, is spending the Christ- | mas holidays with Mr.and Mrs.i Wm.Coulter and Mr.and Mrs.Wm.Hendrickson, | Mr.and Mrs.Arthur Thompson of Chateaygay, NY.were | Christmas day guests at tlre home of Mrs.Alex.Durward.Master Eddie Perjil of Mon- | treal, is spending the Christmas i holidays at the home of Mr.and ; Mrs.Koski.Mr.Koski is also ; SPending his holidays with his i family.| Miss Marjorie Ross of Mon- i treal, is spending her holidays | with her parents, Mr.and Mrs.J.!

* LETTER TO * * THE EDITOR * The question of having more | suitable bridges built on Chaus- see St, Valleyfield, is a matter that has occupied considerable attention of the Valleyfield City Council, The Montreal Cottons Limited and Mr.Maxime Raymond, K.C., M.P.,, for Beauhar- nois County.Correspondence has been brought before the City of Valleyfield Council on many occasions dealing with this matter.Reports of meetings and letters have been published and the | following is one that has been sent to the Gleaner for publication.The letter is from The Montreal Cottons Limited addressed to Maxime Raymond, K.C., MP, and although such has not been brought before a public meeting, it is a letter that explains the bridge question as The Montreal Cottons Limited views the situation.A \u201cround - table conference\u201d with a number of the essential interests represented might bring about an amicable solution toward improving the bridge situation, but correspondence and public meeting utterances being issued as of recent date are not likely to bring about any commendable solution to the desired new bridges on Chaussee Street.THE EDITOR 23rd December, 1941 Mr.Maxime Raymond, M.P., House of Commons, 59 St.James Street West, Montreal, Que.Dear Sir: Yours of the 15th inst.to hand.You either do not understand, or do not want to understand the situation with regard to the bridges on Chaussee Street.We, therefore, will try to enlighten you thereon.The Agreement as signed on the 8th January, 1895, states that the Cotton Company shall construct and maintain a certain roadway bridge leading from the lower dam to Grande Isle over the headrace and approaches thereto, and shall at all times leave same free and unobstructed and open to the public; and during the construction, repair, or reconstruction of the said works, the Cotton Company shall not intercept any portion of the said bridge or roadway without first providing a suitable passage or roadway to Grande Isle.The bridge referred to in this paragraph has been constructed and maintained.There has never been any question about the maintenance of the existing bridge, but where we do disclaim any responsibility is in the building of a new bridge, or bridges, designed to accommodate the demand of today's traffic, and this was the meaning we wished to convey in the first paragraph of our letter to you, dated the 6th December.There is nothing in the Agreement which would oblige the Cotton Company to reconstruct! the present bridge (and which was built for the horse and buggy days) to accommodate the requirements of present day trafic.In the first copy of the proposed three-party Agreement, it is stated that at the expiration of the sub-lease Nos.27877A and 27879A, the Beauharnois Light, Heat & Power Co., and/or The Montreal Cottons Limited shall amongst other obligations, replace the fill or fills so removed, follows: | by a bridge or bridges which shall be as good and of equal capacity as the bridge or bridges now existing, was or were when first constructed, and thereafter shall at all times maintain the said bridge or bridges to the satisfaction of the General Superintendent.From the above it is quite evident in the opinion of the | Federal Government that our only obligation is in respect to ithe maintenance of the present bridge.| While it may be only playing lon words to call this a three or four party agreement, a reference to letter from the Department of Transport, dated Ottawa, the 11th February, 1941, agreement submitted to U, clearly refers to \u201cproposed three- party agreement.\u201d The last copy of the draft of the three-party agreement did not in our opinion, nor in the the obligation to which the Cotton Company objected in the first draft of the agreement submitted to them by the Department of Transport, Ottawa.The remarks contained in the last paragraph of your letter are so silly and childish for a man of your age and position in life to have made, that we will disregard same entirely.Yours very truly, The Montreal Coitons Limited .E.Aird, Managing Director Howick Mrs.John Ross spent Christmas in Montreal with her
