tgt 7 the stourryttle tribune tiursdiy apr 9 m 1 editorial are you stili using that stringy kid stuff dont be too hard on mr cass dont be too hard on mr fred cass recently resigned attorney- general of ontario for the legisla tion which he proposed to deal with organized crime in ontario the ne cessity for the stern measures which the former minister brought forward may b egreater than many people would like to think we have seen the manner in which the law is flouted in the united states by big labour bosses racket eers and gangsters we make snide remarks about the sloppiness of the courts such as evidenced at dallas recently we dont like this disre spect for the law and think the stern est measures should be taken to curb these people who we know to be guilty and can get away with laugh ing at the law all this being as it is dont lets be too hasty in condemning our own legal minds with being too harsh there is organized crime in the pro vince and it will take the sternest laws to bring those involved to their just due unless we wish to be laughed at in the same manner in which our american friends are ridiculed in the united states this freedom of the individual has been carried so far that the law has great difficulty in curbing those who are a public men ace this should not be lets not overplay this individual rights cry until it becomes a detriment to the public as a whole there is no question but that much sterner measures are needed to deal with racketeer types than those whose crimes are petty and we are sure that the freedom to exercise this stern restrains on such individuals was all that mr cass had in mind those individuals who go about shouting their freedoms and carrying placards would be the first to shout equally as loud if gangsterism and its tripe was allowed to laugh at the laws of our land the big city news media are quick to crucify any government offi cial at the slightest provocation and delight in doing just that if the public behaves itself it has little to fear from the law its possible that parts of mr cass proposed changes needed a little watering but we dont believe that the stern measures which he believes are necessary are as far astray as many would have us be lieve individuals must take some responsibility we believe that whitchurch township council was quite justified in turning down any request to spend 11000 to place warning lights at the pine orchard railway crossing we dont believe either that they needed any excuse that they were already committed to three other crossings in the township individ uals must take some responsibility for their actions when approaching railway crossings it is hardly fair that just be cause some individual is negligent other ratepayers should suddenly be required to put up thousands of dol lars there are a host of sideroad crossings in the township where motorists must approach with ex treme caution if they are to see a train approaching a driver must take some responsibility if he fails to do so and drives blindly on when he is aware of possible danger the fault is entirely on his own shoulders in the case of the crossing in ques tion there is ample vision and cer tainly no excuse for anyone to be hit by a traain it is the same old story people will simply not take ordinary precaution and there follows a great outcry for more protection it would cost a fortune to protect people from their own carelessness at every rail way crossing in the township and council is right in not calling upon the ratepayers to make this expendi ture must know the facts the future status of the police village of unionville now rests in the hands of 300 eligible voters if the attendance at the public meeting on thursday evening of last week is any criterion then an estimated 275 of the electorate are both ignorant of the facts involved and disinterested in the fate of their community to remain as a police village or return to the fold of markham town ship is a matter of vital importance to the people and yet only a hand ful of residents could take the time and trouble to attend this lethargic attitude is synon ymous with our times and the popu lace of unionville is the same as youll find anywhere a couple of insulting comments were tossed about concerning a news papers lack ol publicity re the nom ination and election of trustees in the village ignorance is no excuse the trouble is people take the let joe do it attitude and all the publicity in the world will not force citizens to accept a responsibility if it can be shoved off on the shoulders of some one else every once in a while the good joes decide to call it quits and the municipal machine grinds to a halt if resident ratepayers are not interested in learning the facts of the issue at hand then there is no guarantee that they will be interested in marking a ballot in the forthcom ing plebiscite if however some ac tion had been taken without a ballot vote of the electorate then these same citizens who were absent on thursday would have raised a cry that could be heard to high heaven pressure from two sides the distribution of police costs across the municipality has caught the council of the township of whit church squarely in the centre of two pressure groups on one side is the farmer asking for a 90 exemption on his land on the other side is the urban resi dent voicing opposition to such a move in between the two is the council so far the council has elected to sit on the fence on the issue and let the hounds do their baying from below sooner or later they will be forced to put their feet on the ground and whatever the decision one group or the other will be nipping at their heels we feel that the police program should be worked out on an equal costsharing basis and the percen tage of the farm land exempted should be arrived at in this way ottawa report r by michael starr mp the time limit on the 500 bonus on homes constructed in

whose bones are as brittle as soda crackers who asks me did you have a nice easter holiday some school teachers have a nice easier holiday and good luck to them but english teachers are not among them english teachers have the same sort of holiday a bus driver would have if he were given a week off and old he was to drive a bus from halifax to vancouver in the next seven days when the holidays began i had examination papers to mark which represented a total of about 480 student writing hours they could have produced the works of shakespeare in the same time this in turn means that i have ttbout 100 hours of marking time no complaints its part of the job but things were a little more complicated this year the women of the house came down with flu just as the holidays began the result was thatinstead of silting quietly in my study and having countless cups of tea and coffee innumerable beers and sandwiches brought me to keep me going i found myself trotting up and down stairs about six hours of each day bearing up tempting little things on trays bearing down dirty dishes while my pillars of papers sat and gathered dust results of turning the old man loose with the grub for a few days was interesting my wife has almost decided to become a permanent invalid my kids realize that their father has an other brilliant unsuspected dimension the old lady was feeling horrible with ihe flu but there didnt seem much wrong with her appetite she gained about eight pounds of course shes not used to my lunches instead of the soupandsandwich routine shes accustomed to they consisted of something like this glass of sherry grilled sau sage with butterfried mushrooms and cheese omelette tossed salad blueberry pie and ice cream coffee brandy cherry- centred chocolates the kids weie a bit shaken by some of my casseroles perhaps the most successful was the lasagna basis a can of lasagna egg noodles in tomato and meat sauce simmer in oven for ten minutes add layer of mushrooms layer of strong cheese layer of thinsliced salami layer of onion rings layer of mild cheese bake in oven sprinkle with paprika parsley chives cinnamon nutmeg wild oats or anything else that will sprinkle serve with hot crusty rolls and stand back the reason there are no great women chefs theyve no imagination my wife hacks up some lettuce tomato and celery and calls it a salad if shes feeling particularly exotic she might throw in some sliced green pepper my salads besides these basics contained great chunks of cheese all colors whole green onions peeled grapes shredded lemon raw carrots quartered dill pickle jelly beans left behind by ihe easter bunny the whole doused in a dressing made of four raw eggs mixed with tartar sauce ketchup mayonnaise mustard and vinegar i have only two things to say about the grand culinary adventure a the food budget is shot for the next six weeks b where can i buy a good secondhand automatic dish washer the tnsfs m m anne ross nutritionists tell us that teenagers arent getting enough milk not just any teenagers but our own growing sons and daughters right here in ontario so perhaps ved better take a close look at our own family situation younger children probably get their needed pint of milk every day at least it is to be hoped they do but what about the teenage son or daughter their bodies need a pint and a half of milk a day how many are actually consuming ihis- daily quota if they arent chances are they arent getting all the nutrients they require for the demands they make upon their brains and bodies the problem is we cant just fell big johnny or jane they need more milk now than ever in their lives theyll prabably react with milk is just kid stuff so heres what they should know and what we too should know about how important milk is to them i got my information straight from the dairy food service bureau s its pretty realistic lets start with the calcium and phoiphorus in milk you could say these minerals are to bones what steel and concrete are to the structure of a building for strength and durability plenty of structural building materials are required teenagers are undergoing tremendous growth spurts at this point in their jives and if theyre to grow strong and healthy thsy need a good basic bone structure and calcium and phosphorus are the main building materials for the job milk and other dairy foods are the best sources of calcium needed for good teeth healthy hair and strong nails milk of course is a good source of protein now protein is an essential part of all our body tissues its needed for growth and for repair and replacement of worn tissue and this replacement of tissue cells goes on continually ait through life we all need plenty of protein if we had to select the most important material to maintain the human body irom infancy to old age protein would be first choice milk is also an important source of many other mineral and vitamins too so essential to good health and resistance to disease all this sounds quite technical of course but in a nutshell we can condense all the data to this milk is the most nearly perfect food required for growing bodies and to maintain good health and our concern is to re that our growing chil dren get plenty of it if they dont like to drink it wc should include it in the foods we prepare then well all fat our milk quota editors mail stouffville ont april 2 1964 editor stouffville tribune dear sir we the executive committee of york county federation of agriculture wonder if the rural people of ontario and our gov ernment realize the impact of bill 54 on our property tax bills we do strenuously op pose the additional taxation that will be forced upon the ag ricultural industry it is a gen erally accepted fact in york county that if the urban dwel lers taxes increase 100 the farm taxes increase s300 this is mostly brought about by the fact that a farmers land a tool of his trade is taxed for edu cational purposes whereas the machines in a factory or the goods on a merchants shelf or the books in a lawyers library are not taxed for municipal purposes the farmer has only the pro ductive value of his soil from which to pay taxes the returns that he receives for various types of farming operations an average o 175000 for 1034 of ontarios best farmers with an average of 219 acres is varified in the ontario farm management report processed by oac this proves the farm ers inability to pay exorbitant taxes the benefits of large area ad ministration may provide bet ter facilities we dont argue this but certainly not to the ex tent that the farmers will be required to shoulder more than the lions share of the cost the ability of the teacher determin es the quality of education giv en the children we may compare area schools with a new cadillac who can deny its qualities but then how many of us can afford them with an overall increment in teachers salaries full lime jan itors and maintenance men school buses operated by full- time union drivers townships having to hire 24 hour road sanding and snow plowing ser vices and general increased maintenance of township roads many many farmers face a tax increase of 100 to 300 in view of these points the york county federation of ag riculture prepared a brief and presented it to the legislative committee of the provincial government asking that they delay any action on the con solidation of rural schools into township areas until such time as a study of all the effects on rural taxation could be made a number of people from all sections of ontario were pres ent and spoke in support of our brief in effect our legislators turned a deaf ear on us and many other rural delegations and said without even consid ering the peoples ability to pay your tax problems dont con cern the department of educa tion we dont care whether you want area schools or not you are going to have them they then immediately passed the bill for the third reading this last view is personal but the recent proposed police le gislation is proof enough for me that the welfare of ontario cit izens is not the prime concern of our legislators they dont ask what is wanted or needed they dictate i believe this is reason enough that the present provincial government should be forced to go to the people of ontario for a mandate before continuing in office sincerely

on rural zoning held in the pickering twp hall at brougham on wednesday night of last week attracted a large turnout of resident ratepayers it is becoming increasingly evident that the farmer is taking a more active interest in items of personal concern in pickering planning director john faulkner appears to have an excellent grasp on nutters pertaining to zoning and related problems although

south and its use to the whole of the municipality would be limited his view was greeted by cries of contempt from the delegates but down deep many feel that the handwriting is on the wall while

coaxed away from their television sets on thursday night even with the future of their community at stake a move that would change the status of the police village back to markham township custody was
