ff 1 the st0uffv31e twbchi tlanr septal 8 i960 editorial school days are summer vacation for the school children has run its course again and though in contrast with those of advanced years dont yet realize how time flies nevertheless finds the days between june and september have a way of passing quickly perhaps in this modern day summer vacation has a different quality for many children and young people because they can do so many iteresting things motoring with parents attending summer camps working at jobs that expand experi ence as well as savings no longer is summer mostly for fishing swim- here again ming and just plain loafing this world we live in has forced us all young and old alike into a greater seriousness of purpose as inhabitants of the free world we must show a dedication to educa tion dictators have shown us the value of education as it applies to their methods of indoctrination many boys and girls in stouff- ville and throughout this land are going back to the classrooms this week somewhat reluctantly but as a nation engaged in the struggle for survival we should be glad to see them back at the job of making the most of their aptitudes and capacities noise nuisance well founded for township councillors who held some fears that the installation of gckart tracks within the borders of their municipalities would create an uncontrollable noise nuisance their suspicions were wellfounded we visited such a project near vivian in the township of whitchurch on saturday afternoon we would suggest that the loca tion of this vivian venture is ideal since only one or two unfortunate homeowners are situated at close range to the track the site is heavily banked by trees which would help to muffle the roar of the two- cycle motors to suggest that these four- wheeld karts are noisy is the under statement of the year it would seem that the area was invaded by ten thousand hornets with each attempt ing to outroar the other the sound is plainly audible for a distance of one mile its degree of irritation would depend on the sensitivity of its listeners we would certainly agree however that a onehalf mile ban from any dwelling is not too extreme we would contend that the sport will just be another passing fad unlike the stock car races the go- karts hold little spectator interest we would agree however that the operating of these motor scooters would represent a real thrill for young and old alike only by placing them on a rental basis will audience enthusiasm be kept alive support crowns view we must definitely suport the view point of crown attorney harold sanders in his criticism of magistrate hollinrakes too lenient sentences however the leniency of this well- known magistrate is only an example of the type of sentences which are handed out by the other magistrates in york county as well as other counties the continuous stream of ten dollar fines which go out from the courts do little more than finance their existence and are little or no deterrent at all on the offenders in the cast which finally brought forth criticism from the crown the driver had been drinking he had set himself up as a potential murderer on the highway yet he was released with 150 fine and loss of his license for six months we would not single out our local magistrates for their lenient sent ences the same tendency is to be found in our courts throughout the land attacks on police officers and flouting of the laws on every hand find the offenders walking away with a reprimand and a 25 fine which is practically useless in putting a stop to such actions crime has been on the increase and there is little wonder when those who are caught are mollycoddled by the courts it may be true that severe penalties such as the strap may harden some offenders but it our opinion it would serve a much better purpose as a deterrent and the great majority would not be back for a second application of such penalties no one can deny but that the system of leniency is getting us no where surely the increase in the number of offenders should be suffici ent evidence of this fact the passing of the trade fair there will be no trade fair held in stouffville this fall some action may be taken to hold a fair in the spring but for the time being at least the trade fair is off stouffville was one of the first communities in the area to sponsor such an event and it was heralded as a real highlight of the season however like many other events the publc and the exhibitors alike soon tiiv after a few years and enthusiasm recedes to such a low ebb that it is impossible to organize the show in centres such as newmarket where a trade fair has survived some organization has thrown its weight behind the effort to make it a suc cess year after year originally in stouffville the merchants themselves formed the organization force in more recent years the arena manager alone has been left with the task without the help of some organized group behind the show interest has dwindled until this year less than a handful of former exhibitors indi cated any willingness to enter the show trade fairs are a good thing for the community they provide a real rallying point for business people of the town to exhibit their merchandise in addition they give the community much good publicity and a liveliness which are attractive to wouldbe residents the fall trade fair is gone lets hope it is revived in the spring home is your castle but qet a permit for a drawbridqe by gordon donaldson the handyman who has decid ed to go into the really big do- hyourself project bought all the tools the supplies and plans is apt to be considerably em barrassed if he forgets one small detail the local building bylaws nowadays you meet up with them in most big doityourself projects local authorities can be conservative creatures with a fear of the unusual and a hor ror of sudden change if they know you own a 3- bedroom house it will disturb them to find youve built an addition which is a copy of a famous english castle all on your own municipalities keep an eye on such things through a system of building permits there are of course some country places left where glor ious anarchy still prevails where you can stable moose in the parlor or dangle garbage cans from the roof but generally it pays to in quire about permits before be ginning any big job unless you dont mind the authorities descending on you to collapse your project like a house of cards the rule generally is that you need a permit for any outside structure of a permanent na ture this includes garages sheds leantos and almost any thing with a roof on it rian wanted the object of the permit is to ensure that the structure is of a permanent nature you have to provide a plan for it specifying size and type of material to be used it need not be an architects drawing if it seems sound enough and not too much of an eyesore the local council official will approve it a building inspector will then call around to watch the work in progress he can demand that you pull the whole thing to t fe jjsinhffttiiu ffiribune established 1isi a v nolan son

cleaver now to deal with youthful stealing a young chinese christian was asked why he did not take advantage of an opportunity to steal a sum of money his an swer was i would have to live with a thief the rest of my life in old china parents accepted responsibility for bad behaviour of a child and often a father was punished for a boys theft when a son or daughter get into trouble about stealing or anything else father and moth er are likely to be upset and ashamed how did their child give in to temptation most parents know that bitter re proaches piled on the young of fender are worse than useless he needs to feel that his par ents will see him through help him replace the stolen- goods and make a fresh start dealing with the young thief is puzzling to parents often a trained social worker or juvenile police officer can help both par ents discover some of the reas ons behind his mistake jimmie white has been caught by a plainclothesman in the act of stealing a pocketknife off a display counter there were sev eral boys who planned a thieving expedition and jimmie was ra ther flattered that the older boys included him he had been lone ly and now he was one of the gang he knew it was wrong to steal but it was sort of a game the big boys assured jimmie that it wasnt risky the loot in penknives they went off with was not very great now that he has been caught jimmie doesnt know why he was such a fool to be led astray bitterly he agrees that crime doesnt pay his parents can direct him in making good for his share of the loss to the store likely he will refuse to squeal on the other boys but it is important that he should receive help in finding more suitable companions boys in their teens naturally crave activity and fellowship lads who are in a scout troop a ymca group a junior far mers organization or some other constructive youth group have fun under able leadership they very seldom get into trou ble stealing because they are occupied with other interests in many cases of persistent stealing social workers or of ficers of a juvenile court have discovered after careful study that the offender is upset emo tionally his great lack is the knowledge that his parents love him and accept him as he is the child who feels he is un wanted or a failure may take to stealing to get even life has given him a raw deal so why should he care if he brings disgrace to his family boys and girls from homes in the low income bracket some times steal because there are things they want to own which they have not the money to buy a boy may covet a hunting knife like the other fellows have sometimes a girl not old enough to earn money baby sitting steals money to treat her chum to a movie whatever the cause of steal ing the young offender needs to be given a new start and continued moral support and af fection no effort at understand ing and guidance is too great to save a youngster from the shadowy path of stealing hes made a mistake a ser ious one parents teachers and friends should work together not to humiliate him further but to see he doesnt repeat the offence faith and real affection can help him in this time of need without making light of the seriousness of a black mark against his good name which stealing makes a youth needs to be given guidance in return ing and making good anything he has taken many a fine adult citizen had one thieving youth ful episode the boy who has stolen needs a second chance to get back on the right and honest road do give it to him copyrighted sugar and spice br bill smiley this week the old girl and i scramble after the home was will observe our 14th anniverl where old people went when sary you notice i didnt say they ran out of money family celebrate we just observe ties were neckwear i borrowed them rather coldly shes been from my brothers a little cool about anniversar ies since the time i brought the present and the card a few years back shed been beefing about her paint brushes being hard to clean on our anniversary i gave her a lovely little package of paint brush cleaner suitably giftwrapped i also handed her a beautiful anniversary card it cost me 40 cents and had flowers and cupids and all sorts of things on it only thing was that it was headed off to my darling husband on our anniversary id forgotten to read it these anniversaries are harder to take than birthdays the whole 14 years was brought graphically to the fore tonight at dinner when i looked around and realized that all these people belonged to me and were my responsibility for feeding cloth ing and housing among other things fourteen years ago i was a young veteran of the air force full of ginger and peculiar ideas with the aid of other young veterans and various wenches i had been successful in getting through all my gra tuities in a few months of high living i was broke free cyn ical selfish and happy as a trout i thought love was something made up by women and the those were pretty good days in retrospect all i wanted to do was read books eat drink and sleep when i felt like it and avoid personal entangle ments like the plague my chief ambition was to avoid work in any form and my only desire was to find some exotic land crawling with beautiful native women and there settle down in the sun but even as the walls of jeri cho i tumbled like most young men of that age i was just like an egg i thought i was hard- boiled but i wasnt even half- cooked one crack in the shell and i ran all over the place in short i got married and ive been running all over the place ever since our marriage in those 14 years has had its ups and downs and a good part of the time we seemed to be going sideways in those 14 frantic years however ive changed a lot my cynicism has become merely a healthy scep ticism i havent a hope of be ing selfish any more but some things havent changed im still broke and im still free oh not free in the old way mind you i cant go out with girls any more i cant sit up with the boys until the wee small hours and i cant throw all my worldly possessions in a bag and take off for kio not unless i want to arrive at the movies marriage and children airport with a kid clinging to were for the dopes money was each leg and my wife flying- something for other people to i from my neck like a pennant but im free in the tmngs that really count i can go golf ing or fishing any time i feel like it as long as the kids dont want to go swimming i can speak my mind freely on any subject around our house with out fear of contradiction as long as i do it down in the cel lar or while im mowing the lawn i can stop my son from wearing my tshirts and sox if i can atch him before he gets out of the house fourteen years ago i ab horred the idea of possessions i didnt want to own anything i didnt want to sink any roots since then ive collected an awesome assembly of junk and my roots are so far down they are blocking the sewers besides the ballandchain ive acquired two children who eat like sharks two mortgages a great big old house that swallows ev ery nickel i can raise and enough accumulated stuff to fill a couple of warehouses a lot of water has gone under the bridgo in those fourteen years and most of it has ended up in my cellar but theres plenty on the credit side too weve two healthy youngsters whose dally presence is a joy in our lives and also a great booster of sedative sales at the drug store was it worth it would i do it again youre darn right i would its been a wonderful experience and as we step off into the fifteenth year i cant help giving thanks for the gentle lovely steadfast help mate who has been at my side ever ready with a word of en couragement or a slam on the ear if that didnt work sunday school lesson pieces if you are not building it properly most types of upright con crete or brickwork require a permit you shouldnt need one for a patio or concrete path or barbecue but youll want one for a wall patios crack and paths heave but walls can fall on people a simple onedog doghouse doesnt require a permit but if you live in a onedog area you may fall under suspicion as a prospective dogbreeder which is bad dogs bring us to the subject of fences most jireas limit the height of fences built along property lines these bylaws were design ed to stop spitefences the spitefence a traditional old structure which somehow is never mentioned in the do-it- yourself books could be 12 or 15 feet high and shut out the hated neighbors completely to settle other disputes over fences many municipalities em ploy fenceviewers they dont decide the location of fences thats a surveyors job but changeover quietness reigns everywhere no banging door no thud on stair and so today says i to me a great deal shall

people and they shall beat their swords in to plowshare and their spears into pruninghooks nation shall not lift up sword against na tion neither shall they learn war any more isa 24 the lesson as a whole approach to the lesson the lord never intended world affairs to fall into the chaotic mess that exists today he is a god of order and not the author of confusion and as we look out upon the welter of confusion that prevails we can only conclude that his plan for the nations has been temporar ily set aside looking down up on this disorder a voice cries out an enemy hath done this what was once a garden has become a jungle the rootreason for this dis order is found of course in mans sin his original disobed ience of god in the garden of eden and his rejection of the prince of peace accepting in stead the robbermurderer bar- abbas man has suffered the dreadful consequence of diso bedience robbery and murder ever since however this is not to be the permanent order of things the day is coming when wars will be completely banished as an instrument for settling disputes and the very hearts of men and even the lower creatures will ba completely changed this will not be brought about by summit conferences the longrejected christ will be finally recognized loved and obeyed and only then will humanity having found its right relation to him be in right relation to itself tho heart of the lesson it is obvious that the bulk of this great prophecy still awaits fulfillment to attempt to press it all into any presentday mold and to allegorize its features is to pervert if not to destroy its plain meaning in prophecy however there is a frequent blending of both the near and the distant immed iate and remote sometimes the writers will envisage some im minent and local happening and then expand this into what is actually remote and universal this is often caused by common underlying principles again sometimes the sufferings of christ which are always con nected with his first coming appear to be blended on the same horizon as his second com ing in triumph todays lesson illustrates this the lord jesus christ is da vids branch he came to bethle hem as davids son he enjoyed the full and perfect enduement of the holy spirit he acted al ways in the fear of jehovah and never judged according to appearances this was ail true of him at his first coming but there is a further movement in this prophetic vision that must await his second coming in glo ry and power for he has not yet smitten the earth in his wrath nor overthrown the wick ed in his righteous aner he will do just this at his trium phant return then hell give these bodies vile a fashion like his own hell bid the whole creation smile and hush its groan what he did partiilly ard on the local level at his first ap pearing he will execute comj pletely on the universal level at his second tho christian of today should pray for all leaders and those who wield political authority he must yield subjection to the prevailing powers he must be an example of obedience and of christian sobriety at the same time he must recognize that the only hope of permanent world peace will be the return of the true king the lord jesus christ hence his daily prayer should be even so come lord jesus annuity plan for farmers ontario federation of agri culture members last week pro posed a retirement annuity plan for farmers at a members meeting in toronto the pro posed annuity plan is designed to fill the retirement needs of many farmers who in the past have not had any pension or re tirement plans to help them in their advanced years if farm ers give full support to this pro gram promotion and selling costs will likely be very low and the annuity will be an extreme- and 2 1960 in toronto ly attractive savings plan the proposal is in 3 parts one an unregistered plan that a farmer can borrow against or convert to cash if the need arises the unregistered plan will be preferable to most far mers but a high income farmer may prefer a registered plan under a registered plan the farmer can save 10 percent of his gross taxable income up to a maximum of 250000 per year and deduct it from his gross income for tax purposes if he dies before his annuity begins his estate will pay only 15 tax and the death benefit even though he may have saved a much greater rate of tax on his contributions he cannot bor row on his savings or convert them to cash except under a severe tax penalty the third part is to have one registered plan and one un registered plan premium on the annuity will vary according to age and the amount taken out ofa mem bers approved a motion asking cooperators insurance associa tion to set up the plan and give full support to it in encourag ing farmers to participate members also discussed mem bership problems and plans for the ofa annual meeting to be held october 31 november 1 h w sjpwhunrh n ipnr h q bt ww la alia h n klrk ba an b hub bksliex
