My mother is going to East Africa and my uncle, the Duke of Gloucester, and his wife, will be travelling as. my representa- tives to Nigeria.
My aunt, the Duchess of Kent, and my cousin, Princess Alexan- dra are also undertaking long Journeys. Together they will be visiting Central and South Arme— rlca in the spring and later Prin- cess Alexandra goes to Australia to attend the centenary celebra- tions of the state of Queensland.
In June, my husband and I W111. be going to Canada once again. You’ll remember that my Sister, Princess Margaret, was there earlier this year.
This time we go primarily to open the great St. Lawrence Sea- way but we shal lbe visiting many other parts of the country as well.
year—awe are going to Ghana and on our way back we intend to visit my people in Sierra Leone and the Gambia.
So, between us, we are going to many parts of the world. We have no plans for space travel—at the moment.

So it‘s a good time to remem- ber those around us who are far from home, to cling perhaps. strange and lonely.
My own thoughts are with the men and women and children from other parts of the Common- wealth who have come to live and work in the great cities of this country and may well be missing the warmth and sunshine of their homelands.
In, recent years the Common- wealth countries have been mak- ing a great cooperative effort to raise standards of living.
Even so, the pace of our every- day life has been such that there has hardly been enough time to enjoy the things which appeal to men’s minds and which make life a full experience. . After all, our standard of liv- ing has a spiritual as well as a material aspect. ‘ i
The genius of scientists, inven- tors and engineers can make life more comfortable and prospo ous.

philosophers, men of ideas and poets, artists in paint, sculpture and music, the whole company who challenge and encourage or who entertain and give pleasure.
To their number I would add the teachers in church, school and university, whose enormous job it is to awaken the minds of the younger generations and instil into them the essence of our accumulated civilization.
I am sure that many of you have thought about these things before. But it seems to me that Christmas is just the time to be grateful to those who add fulness to our lives.
Even so, we need something more.
We all need the kind of secur- ity that one gets from a happy and united family.
Before I return to mine let me once again wish every one of you a very happy Christmas from all of us here at Sandring— ham, and may God’s blessing be with you in the coming year.

AMONG THE FARMERS
Federation of Agrlculture Newsletter
While pessimistic people may claim that this province is not making the progress it should or may even be going back in some respects, there are plenty in- stances of real progress an certainly much evidence of im- proved living standards during the past twenty years.
Possibly the most striking Im- provement has come about dur- ing the past five years with the advent of more general electrifi- cation In the days of the kerosene lamp the winter country side was one of almost complete darkness only broken by the moon and the stars and the feeble glimmer of the kerosene lamp in the farm kitchen window.
However, wide areas of this province are now assuming in the winter evening the appear- ance of a scattered village. Yard lights show up the farm build- ings and the brightly lighted rooms of farm homes are a cheerful contrast to the darkness of years ago. At this season of the year lighted Christmas trees and decorated homes give a cheerful touch to rural life and contribute much to making the season one of joy and happiness. GREAT STRIDES
In yet another department great strides are blng made in the removal of snow from our winter roads. With the rapid disappearance of the horse, fab mers are increasingly dependent on motor transportation and if the economy of the province is to stay in high gear during winter months. ,cars, trucks and trac- tors must be able to move. As re- cently as ten yeras ago while there was considerable snow re— moval yet there was little guar antee that even our main roads would be continuously open. Now this is changed and with modern equipment it is possible to keep traffic moving except during severe storms and roads can be opened up no matter how badly blocked.
A third feature in the develop- ment of this province is cl a cul- tural nature. It is the coming of television to rural homes. Educno tlon, entertainment and culture of a high order are broadening the horizons of views and the effect upon rural attitudes is almost impossible to estimate. Even though these developments may not have the most desir- able effect upon the rural com- munity, nevertheless rural isola- tion is rapidly becoming a thing of the past and the rural family
friends hope to see him back at home and well soon.
Joseph Pineau of Duvar is now ill at his home suffering from pneumonia. His neighbors and friends wish him a speedy “Get well."
Thursday nights train on Dec ember 18 didn't arrive in Howlan until 7.30 Friday morning. any one travelling on that night would be very late arriving at Tignish. with Friday morning train going East at 10.30 a.m. here.

PIUSVILlE
Friends extend sincere sym - pathy to the family of John F. Gallant whose death occurred at his home on Wednesday, Dec. 10, in Piusville. The funeral which was held on Monday morning at St. Anthony's was largely attend- ed. Rev. Clarence Pitre officiated and also performed the services at the grave.
Mrs. Thoff Gallant is spending some time visiting relatives in Toronto, Ont.
Mr. and Mrs. John T. Gallant left recently for Halifax where they intend spending the winter months.
Dr. and Mrs. Blanchard of, Charlottetown attended the wakcl o fthe late John F. Gallant. Mrs. Blanchard is a sister of Mrs. Gal- lant.
Euclid Gallant, Eugenie, Noel- la, and Elise all of New York, were here for the funeral of their father, John F. Gallant.
The annual school concert was held in Piusville hall on Thurs- day evening under the skillful management 'of Mrs. Joey Gal- Is It and Walter Callaghan, the teachers. which was very much enjoyed. Old Santa put in his ap- pearance and gave treats to the children, which created quite an excitement. Prior to the concert the teachers distributed the gifts which enabled old Santa to be on his way without too much de- lay.

If, judged by the Christmas trade, by purchases of new auto-
some farmers were even paying their bank loans before due, 1958 appears to have been an in:-
years in economic activity. The big potato crop of 1957 kept over until the first half of '58 and while the market ended up flat on its face yet potatoes did put substantial money into circula- tion both at the bginning and end of the year.
FEDERATION PROSPERS
The dairy people had an ex- cellent season with butter pro- duction probably being the greatest on record and satisfac- tory amounts of fodder on hand. Cattlcmen enjoyed good income from the sale of bed. dairy cows and breeding stock generally. Hog prices were encouraging until the end of the year and qualify hogs for breeding pur- poses sold readily not only on this continent but even as far away as Europe. Adding it all up there had been certainly

Among the numerous farm or- ganizations in this province the Federation of Agriculture con- tinues to be the one in a position to mamt' aln a provincial office financed by the voluntary contrio butions of individual farmers and supporting organizations. In Its present form of organization the Federation dates back to 1950 at. which time we recall a pro- minent public man making the statement that the organization could look forward to a life ex~ pectancy of three years. Pro- phecy 13 of course a dangerous pastime as there are always those Who are determined to prove prophecy Wm ,
While the Federation did suf- fer a decline both in interest and financial support following the difficult developing out of at- tempts to aid the potato indus- try. That trend now appears to have been reversed. More far- mers are apparemly dasposed’ to recognize the Federation as a necessary piece of farm equip- ment and to recognize also the influence which it exerts not only on provincial levels but on the National one as well. This acceptance is demomtrated by a marked increase in mem‘ bership, by improved financial support and a sounder financial position as the year draws to a close. However no one should be complacent so far as the future of the orgaquatlon is concerned. Much remains to be done, great» or support financially and more interest on the part of indivi- duals and officers will be requir- ed if farm people are to stand in the light of continued progress rather than in the shadow of apathy and stagnation.
On behalf of the President and of all directors very sincere ap- preciation of the support provm- ed, for confidence displayed In the Federation is expressed at the close of this old year. FREIGHT RATES

Seaway Open
OTTAWA (CPI —— Canada-US. discussions of plans for the offi- cial opening of the St. Lawrence Seaway have been completely amicable and free of contro- versy, a Canadian official who has sat in on the talks said to- day.
Robert Dunn. press officer for
the special government commit- tee chargcd with arrangements for next summer‘s visit to‘Can— ads of Queen Elizabeth and her part in the Seaway ceremonies. was commenting on a story in the Ottawa Citizen that the talks “have developed into a hassle." The story went on to say that Canadian planners had hoped the major ceremonies would take place at Montreal with the Queen and President Eisenhower partl- cipaiing, and that they would join in a second ceremony at the Eisenhower Lock on the U. S. side of the Seaway near Corn- wall, Ont.
But, the story said. this was unacceptable to the Americans and as a result the royal yacht Britannia carrying the Queen would sail past Montreal without stopping and proceed to the Eis- enhower Lock. The official Sea- way opening would “take place almost entirely on American soil, with only a few side gestures in Canada's direction."

Deadly Poison Still Missing
WINDSOR, NS. (01’)- An RCMP spokesman said Thursday they had made little progress in their search for an undeter- mined amount of deadly potas- sium arsenste missing at nearby Newport Station.
A police spokesman described the poison capsules as looking like “hard candy.” He said it would cause instant death if con- sumed by a human being.
The capsules were in a package which has been missing since a truck collided with In train last Tuesday at a level crossing at Newport Station.
Following the accident several packages were reported scattered around the truck.

Order Probe Of Statement Re US Atlas
OTTAWA (CM—Mines Ministu Comtois' office has ordered an in- quiry Into a reported statement at Victoria by a departmental offi- cial that the launching of the United States Atlas space satel- lite was just a “rubbisth propa- ganda stunt."
Edward Argyle, a member d the staff of the Dominion Obser- vatory at Royal Oak. B.C., ne Victoria. was quoted as mahnl' the statement.
"We are looking into the nub for and will have a full report as soon as possible," said Jacquu Richer, executive assistant to Mr. Comtois.
He described Mr. Argyle u a junior technician in tho utmphy- sics branch of the observatory. Mr. Argon was quoted in an interview at Victoria as saying the "Atlas is a gross ammo- sentstion done deliberately to de- ceive the US. public."
The Atlas has broadcast back to earth a recorded message by President Eisenhower.
Mr. Argyle was reported to have said: "I'm disappointed in President Eisenhower allowing his name to be linked with such a venture."
Dr. W. E. van Steenburgh. director - general of scientific services for the mines depart- ment which handles the Dominion Observatory, described the re- revported Argyle statement as "utterly ridiculous."
He said Mr. Argyle is a "very junior technician” and lacks the staff standing and professional stature to make "any statement on such a subject."
