pee 7 the stouffville tribune twiy september 26 1963 editorial cant tell the married folk from the courtin kind numbers still latest statistics from the cana dian manufacturers association re veal that the problem of premature gchoolleavers continues to grow more serious although there has been some reduction in the last ten years the climbing school population means that each year there is still an increase in their numbers what makes the problem even more serious is the fact that we are in a period when the number of un skilled jobs is decreasing rapidly the report shows that in ontario 36- of those who left school last year lacked any specific skill less taxes if op governments at least the pres ent federal government has finally come to the realization that the pub lic will no longer swallow this con tinued nonsense that this and that handout from government is all for free the government has made it plain that the proposed increase of s10 a month in the old age pension will mean considerably more taxes this is something governments should have told their people from the beginning politicians have had the habit of trying to give the people the impression that they are able to give them a monthly cheque for this or that all for nothing as time has passed the taxpayers have learned the hard way that for every dollar the government gives climbing we only need to look around to see the rapid depletion of unskilled jobs eleators are now to a large degree automatic heavy machinery has taken over much of the construc tion work little by little the labour jobs are disappearing and more will follow in the years ahead in the meantime the battle to dissuade students from leaving school goes on with parents teachers and employers in the forefront however much more must be done to reduce the number of those pulling out if it is not done the price to the indi vidual and the nation will most cer tainly be a bitter one erated better out they will have their pockets picked for an equal amount there is just no other way the point we would like to make is that possibly the time has come for some government to propose an end to the wasteful practices which are attached to the payment of old age pensions we refer to the fact that pensions are now paid to thous ands of people who do not need old age pensions this is a waste of pub lic funds of the first order it just might be that if this needless pay ment of pensions was ended those who urgently require the assistance could benefit more in proportion to their needs and this could be achieved without recourse to increased taxa tion questionable on aug 5th of this year an ux- bridge motorist rammed his south bound car headon into a mobile crane that was parked at a bridge construc tion site on the brock road south of brougham in pickering township the driver only 24 years of age was killed almost instantly and his auto was transformed into a twisted pile of scrap metal a post mortem report showed that the victim had 18 parts per thousand of alcohol in his blood at the time of his death an amount of 15 parts per thousand is consider ed sufficient to impair a drivers ability last week a wellknown ameri- advertising can weekly magazine publication carried a full page colour advertise ment depicting a particular brand of whiskey the eyecatching arrange ment showed a partlyfilled glass of liquor positioned squarely in the centre of a main street thoroughfare with cars street cars pedestrians headed in its direction like the driver who crashed into the 28 ton crane too many motorists on our roads today have headed straight for the glass of liquor first only to take themselves and others straight to the grave a little later we would question the accomplish ments of this particular promotion signal for you modern automobiles are equipped with devices by which a driver may signal his turns but signals are use less unless they are properly oper ated it does no good for a motorist to switch on his cars turn signals after he has started to turn it gives the impression the driver believes the turn signal is there to help his car get around that corner or that the lastminute signals covers the let ter of the law it is no help to traffic in front or behind failure to signal in time could easily create an acci dent for example an approaching motorist seeing no turn signal ahead would believe no other driver intend ed to turn then make the turn him self to find another vehicle in front of him too late another peril occurs when the r own good motorist fails to turn off the signal a driver waiting for a gap in passing traffic to permit him to enter an in tersection sees a car approaching from his left signalling a righthand turn he is well within his rights to proceed as long as no other ob stacle is present then the signalling car fails to make the turn for which the driver is signalling and a serious accident results a motorist who stubbornly de clines to accommodate other drivers by letting them know his intentions can place himself in great danger signalling every moment well in ad vance is a protection to the motorist without a signal other drivers have no way of knowing his intentions and failure to signal or signalling too late can be disastrous a tribute to last week reeve wilfred dean praised the efforts of the markham township cemetery board for their untiring and successful efforts in reclaiming many of the old unused burying grounds in the municipality and returning them to a neat and attractive condition although this work was started several years ago and included areas throughout the entire township it is unlikely that many residents have viewed the results of these completed projects on saturday we took the time to visit such a plot on the former brownsberger farm concession 10 south of stouffville we were amazed at the accomplishment of this organ ization every grave marker fifty in all had been inserted into a giant hori zontal slab the stones some cracked and broken by time and tide had been repaired the names of the deceased dates of birth and death and accom- past pioneers panying mementos were still plainly visible on the majority of carved plaques a veritable lesson in history dating back to the year 1700 had been preserved through a few mens in genuity and determination prior to the inspection we were not aware that such a cemetery had existed we therefore did not have an opportunity to look at the grounds before the project was started but by comparison with some others in adjoining municipalities we would judge that it was a disheveled jungle of grass and weeds it has now been fenced off with the lopsoil neatly re- sceded if any relatives of these past pioneers should wish to revisit this or six other similarly improved ceme tery sites in markham township they would undoubtedly be amazed that such a small number of men could accomplish so much in such a short time this board can look back with pride on a project that has been completed without fuss or fanfare 1 he touffmib ertbiute established li member of the canadian weekly newspaper association and the ontario weekly newspapers

snuggle down to sleep and so of course we have now entered the season for proper care of those valuable blankets because they involve a major investment whether theyre old or new they must be protected and cared for so well continue to have the maximum service and comfort from them while theyre on the bed tor instance we protect them by having a generous folddown of sheet over the top of the blanket so the sheet takes the brunt of the pulling and tugging when we adjust the bedcovers to our satisfaction then too this overlap of the sheet protects the blanket from unnecessary soil from natural body oils and perspiration many women place a washable cover over top of their blankets on the beds so they are not soiled when the bed spread is turned down and this seems to me to be a very good precaution when it comes to laundering woollen blankets the same care must be taken as for any other woollen washing using only lukewarm water and mild soap or detergent thoroughly rinsing all traces of soap from the blanket and above all no wringing now that many blankets come in fibers other than wool if you have these to launder you may have to change the way you wash and clean them at least thats what the researchers found when they washed different kinds of blankets in the laboratory they worked with allwool blankets as well as those made of a nylonrayon blend still other blankets were made of acrilan and dynel three different cleaning methods were tried on samples of every blanket they were sent to a dry cleaner washed by hand and washed in an automatic washer the results of these tests may give you a clue on how to clean your blankets washing in the automatic machine for a fulltime cycle made all the blankets shrink even those made of the miracle fibers in some cases the blankets felt rough and scratchy after this washing dry cleaning or handwashing seems the best for wools and for the nylonrayon blends and washing by hand is definitely recommended for acrilan and dynel blankets as they are apt to shrink and lose their fluff during dry cleaning well our thanks to the researchers for this information to help us care for our blankets i have always found that when washing woollen blankets they dry soft and free from matting with a teaspoon of household ammonia for each gallon of water used in both the suds water and the rinse drying blankets properly is important too so heres a suggestion hang the blanket over two parallel lines so the air can circulate freely between the folds and stretching and sagging can be cut to a minimum when the weight is evenly distributed this way you know of course that woollen blankets should never be exposed to direct sunlight extreme heat or cold they should be dried slowly at moderate temperature for best results then brush them gently with a soft brush to restore the nap and be sure they are perfectly dry and well aired before folding them to put them away one point to remember no matter what type of blanket you prefer the warmth of the blanket does not depend on its weight but largely on the nap a good blanket is relatively light in weight it retards the escape of body heat because of the countless insulating air cells held in the nap which should remain resilient through years of wear and repeated washings thats what we should strive to retain when we launder our blankets their airy fluffiness which is what keeps us warm on a chilly night sunday school lesson golden text and if ye be christs then are ye abra hams seed and heirs accord ing to the promise gal 32ft approach to the lesson men of god come to the end of their lives on earth and go to their reward but the value of the record of those lives ab ides for the qualities of god- honoring and godused lives are the same in every age the lessons taught by these ancient heroes of faith are summarized for us in hebrews 11 the spir- itual qualities that pleased god and enabled him to use them are clearly delineated it will be noticed that each was char acterized by faith the word occurs 24 times in this one chapter faith demonstrates to the eye of the mind the real ity of those things that cannot be discerned by the eye of the body it is designed to serve the believer instead of sight and to be to the soul all that the sens es are to the body matthew henry the letter to the hebrews opens by reminding us that god has always been speaking to man that this divine deter mination to communicate rea ched a peak when he spoke through his son the writer goes on to tell us that not all men have listened to what god has said but that where there has been a response lives have been mightily blessed and used these persons have lived in vastly differing environments have had totally contrasting temperaments and have ac complished entirely different things but one thing common to them all was faith in the jiv ing god and in his promises to men we are taught at the very outset that before we can act and do and accomplish any thing we have to receive to be born from above to enter into life before we can obey we have to trust that though faith without works is dead yet woi- king without faith is death doubly distilled this order is carefully observed all through this chapter paget wilkes because god is unchanging his promises are invariable and his ways need no altering so that he causes the physical harvest to obey the same laws today as it did in the creation the laws governing spiritual blessing and usefulness that are exemplified in the patri archs in the book of genesis are precisely applicable to us physical laws have not changed with the running centuries and neither have spiritjal laws for this reason the writer to the hebrews could take those old genesis lessons apply them to his contemporaries and their situations and find they fitted exactly we can do the same heart of he lesson undoubtedly the heart of to days lesson is now the just shall live by faith 1038 no two of the heroes of faith por trayed here faced similar eh lenges or enjoyed the same op portunities in life abel who was murdered is a far cry from joseph who was deliver ed and went on to rule in eg ypt enoch who walked quietly with god until he was nor- is a totally different character from moses the brilliant lead er and lawgiver in war and peace that which was com mon to each was faith in the ving god they were enabled to abandon themselves to his will and to prove the richness of his promises we too may have this experience sugar spiee by bill smiley what qualities do young people want in a father youd be surprised and then again you might not i found out the other day when i asked about 35 teenagers to list the traits which they considered would make up the ideal father they dont want much really the modesty of their demands was almost pitiable all they want is someone with the looks and build of rock hudson the morals of sir galahad the loving kindness of st francis the sense of humour of stephen leacoek and the bankroll of e p taylor to namt only a few of the required attributes as i wrote down their suggestions checking them on by one against my own characteristics the hearty smile with which i had begun to write the list turned into a sick simper my wife has been telling me for years that im a lousy father and ive been retorting i yam not i may be a lousy husband but im a perfectly good father ask the kids and they depending on whose side the treacherous young devils feel like throwing their weight would answer hes not so bad mom there must be lots worse fathers than dad or shes right dad youre not much of a father but here was proof from outside the family i had only about four of the 39 qualities required by those teenagers in the ideal father it hurt i wont deny it for a moment i toyed bitterly with the notion of turning in my 16yearold union card in that great society of boobs the benevolent order of bewildered slaves whose membership is made up of the countrys finests its fathers fortunately as an old boob i have great resilience we come back faster than a cheque marked xsf just as i reached the bottom point in my disillusion i remembered that we were discussing not me or any ordinary boob but the ideal father immediately i brightened as i looked back over my life i realized that i had never been an ideal child student fighter pilot prisoner of war weekly editor columnist or school teacher i admitted to myself that i had been a disappointing child a lazy student a frightened fighter pilot a happy prisoner of war a slapdash weekly editor a columnist by- sheer accident and a school teacher because there was a shortage of same and as i pondered the matter further i remembered that most of the people whom i had considered ideal in these various capacities over the years had been a sharp pain in the arm and moreover hadnt had onequarter of the fun id had so cheer up fellowboobs i docsnl really matter whether you are kind considerate thoughtful loving gener ous rich or wellgroomed be honest dads do you really care whether you wear the pants whether you are industrious ambitious intelligent and brave does it pain you that you are not goodlooking sportsloving steady reliable a pillar of the community and full of fun dont give it another thought those teenagers are just like us dreamers wed like our children to be ideal polite obedient clever handsome quiet thoughtful kind decent thrifty and so on well have to accept our kids just as they are and a good thing too who after all wants to be an ideal anything extend rainbow trout season the extended open season for rainbow trout from sept ember 16 to november 30 ef fective in certain specified ar eas actually ushers in some of the best
