t9 2 th stouffviui wusht twvjjy fw 4 j965 editorial just plain bored at the amiuaj convention of the markham township sunday school association selected members in a panel discussion pointed with obvious frustration to the fact that while church school enrollment remained stable church congregation member ship was on the wane the reason is all too obvious as the panel agreed too many of todays young people are not regular churchgoers why are they staying away t we feel that the problem lies not with the young people as individuals or the congregation as a whole but with the man behind the pulpit the minister like an afterdinner speaker he can command the atten tion of his audience or lull them to sleep in their seats many are guilty of the latter we live in a modern age and the for future at a regular meeting of stouff- ville council this week tonight the members wiu consider certain rules and regulations as laid down in the present transient traders bylaw with the suggestion that changes are in order we are not denying the fact that there may be loopholes in the bylaw that need plugging but well have no part of any change that would dis criminate against one individual al ready in business here it would seem rather strange that the operator of a mobile fish and chip truck should be granted a licence in 1964 but one year later there is gome question as to the justification of this operation we feel that the council is with in its rights in taking a long hard church must keep pace or die many pastors fail to take note of this trend but still wonder at the reason for diminishing memberships many ministers preach solely from the bible without application to the day in which we live any lay man can read from the scriptures in the quiet of his own home many ministers attempt to frighten their congregations with quaking descrip tions of the sinful hereafter but todays generation isnt frightened so easily young people today are a practi cal people and they wish only prac tical guidance to cope with practical problems if they cant gain this type of information from the pulpit theyll go elsewhere and theyre going elsewhere at the rate of s6 per cent protection only look at this law for future protection but we feel they would be sticking their necks away out if they cut off one mans livelihood to quell a com plaint from a competitor it would be similar to zoning a piece of pro perty commercial land and forcing an established homeowner to move his residence to comply these kind of problems are bound to crop up from time to time this particular one is of minor im portance there is a principal here that is of major importance however and we would suggest that the mem bers proceed with care and caution perhaps the chip vendor should never have been issued a licence in the first place but in our books to cancel his permit now would only prove that two wrongs do not make a right the magnitude of the men and machines have already moved in to the site of pickering townships huge nuclear generating station few people realize the mag nitude of this new plant nor can any one judge the importance of this pro ject to the area that surrounds it the initial plan calls for a 2unit system but according to reports this could well be expanded to 6 units or more to put the program in lay mans language one unit producing 500000 kilowatts would service five highly industrialized cities the size of oshawa pickering project will this project provide an in centive for industrial interests to lo cate in pickering we would say yes and point to the generating plant at lakeview as an example the work there was started in 1958 there was little or no industrial de velopment in that area at that time look at it now the site is surround ed by factories ontario hydro has handed pick ering twp a real gift that could open the door to industrial growth that has been anticipated and promised for many many years spoiling the chance many people now use ballpoint pens where they formerly used pen cils this change has put an end to the earlymorning trip to the pencil sharpener and a start at the days work by doing nothing if he had several pencils giving the impression of a big plan to do a lot of work the sharpening operation could last quite n while well on towards the first coffee break a fellow could look busy and feel busy and this was good for the nervous system now with the ballpoint pen the only escape is that it may not write which has been to do nothing known to happen anyway theres always a hope otherwise immed iately at the start of the days first work period a man is in danger of being faced by the reality of needing to do some actual work this is well known to be bad for the nervous sys tem unless one goes ahead and really does the work those who have tried the system of working report that they feel fine there are cases where people found it so stimulating that they almost forgot to

suddenly a little twoseater scout plane popped over the horizon and squatted 60 feet in front of us the pilot climbed out we could see his airvicemarshalls stripes and grumbled our disgust for all brass then the back cockpit opened and a vast cherubic visage with a cigar in it beamed at us he came out of the thing like a baby whale coming out of a iiickens egg he stood on the wing grinning he stuck up two fingers in the worldfamous vsign but with just a sugges tion of the servicemans naughty gesture which looked much hie same hut nuaiit something quite different then he waved an embracing wave that said come on in closer our total complement of officer pilots was almost wiped out when the rear ranks surged through around and over us to cluster within touching distance of the old war-

success and deserves special recognition was the excellent cooperation and coverage extended by a number of news media during the peak mailing period grant ed mail volumes of such magni tude may be a newsworthy item in themselves but for organiza tions such as yours to provide a service beyond what normally would be expected is certainly commendable and appreciated by spreading the word of early mailing and by encouraging correct addressing and bundling of mail you have rendered a service of inestimable value to our postal operation conceivably the public may not fully understand or even ap

frostheaving conditions encoun tered in this city due to the frostsusceptible nature of the subgrade soils two 100foot sections of road in sudbury were selected for the tests one on bvng street and

of base coarse or fine gravel and this is topped with 3i inches of as phalt surfacing on ihe 100foot section on ryng street foamed polystyrene boards measuring two by four feci and two inches thick were placed 15 inches below the surface of the asphalt this means that the boards are in the subbase nine inches above the level of the subgrade soil the tests will show whether the polystyrene boards

in october of last year they keep long hours from 7 in the morning until midnight she said that during their more than four months of operation they have experienced ro problems she admitted that one or two known troub- makcrs were told not to frequent the premises she said that it was not uncommon for school kids to come in after four and complete some of their homework over a coke or coffee she denied that their patrons were 100 teenagers but during our saturday visit only three out of the eighteen present could be classed as senior citizens over 21 treat kids as adults and theyll behave as adults she said this may be ihe secret of their success anyway as one of those three senior citizens we could find no cause for complaint pickering twp road department employee lloyd fascoe found
