ko 1 tm stouffvuji twiwff tviaiy utfwb 53 r5 jbjditariul town loses fine thf untimely death of klmer daniel ha removed a fine young man from the stouffville municipal ecene mr daniels served this com munity well and packed into his few years much that was over and above the call of duty he served stouff ville on school board council and pub lic utilities commission in his term as reeve he served the community with dignity and distinction and was a worthy representative his obligingness and willingness to discuss points of difference were two of his trademarks he began his municipal career as a local business man operating at that time the central feed store over the years he gained a great deal of knowledge concerning the public utilities of this town and was a logical choice to manage the commission once this municipal department was organ- municipal figure ized quite apart from his service directly for the municipality mr daniels was an active member of the local arena company he was a mem ber of the lions club and active in the united church where he served for a time as a board member this community is the poorer for the sudden loss of this young man communities such as ours find it all too difficult today to interest young businessmen in municipal busi ness mr daniels stepped forward and became a great asset at a time of considerable growth at home he was a much beloved father a family man of the first order and the sympathy of all goes out to his wife and young family elmer daniels fought a good fight and has finished his course the good he has rendered this community will remain and we will miss him not much enth on november 8th the people of canada will go to the polls for the third time in just over three years and our guess is that it will be hard to whip up much enthusiasm for any party the reasons for calling the elec tion are apparently quite clear to prime minister pearson while most voters seem to think they are quite obscure the continual race for par liamentary seats is becoming quite worn there has been much talk for over a year that the conservatives need a new leader much of it by conservatives themselves while re cently there are comments that two new leaders are needed few voters will give heed as to whether pearson was afraid to meet parliament or not most conserva tives will be sure to include this in their talks it wont matter either usiasm likely whether diefenbaker is an aging power hungry politician angling once more for the right of himself and his party to lead the country most lib eral speakers will make some men tion of his age as well as some hints of illness the liberals say the new elec tion map could not be ready before next fall and this was doubtful while the conservatives protest that this is not so and it could be ready much sooner who is right on this state ment we have no idea it must be said though that had the election been held off for at least one more year at least one if not two leaders might have been re placed if for no other reason than age this would have forced new blood into the government stream and perhaps stirred interest among the voters which we predict will be sorely lacking in this campaign favour a united campaign the five united missionary churches in this district have just concluded a very successful religious campaign conducted for the past two weeks at dicksons hill on sunday evening a congrega tion of more than 700 attended it is apparent that the present tent facilities for such gatherings are no longer adequate and there has been some talk of purchasing a new one or completing extensive repairs on the old structure we feel that luch an expenditure is unnecessary we have an arena in stouffville and another in markham each of which could serve this purpose de pending on the availability of the buildings and the choice of location we feel that such campaigns should not be confined to united missionary churches only but include all other denominations in the area as well such a program was once practiced here and enjoyed much success perhaps there are reasons why this plan is no longer possible or practical we would be pleased to learn the feelings of resident pastors towards a combined campaign with all churches participating editors moil outrtack drivein stouffville oct sept 11th 1965 the stouffville memorial and ringwood christian churches tried a new venture this sum mer and hy all accounts it has proved must successful having tried open air services in previ ous summers without too much response this year it was de cided to venture forth in a seri es of drivein services during july and august this innova tion was particularly appreciat ed by thosp advanced in years and those whose health was not the best not to mention the mothers with young families the parkins lot of the stouff- ville arena proved to be an ideal xite with the cars facing toward the east looking upon a beautiful pastoral scene a slight lull rose from behind the platform and this was dotted with trees and hedges and here and there sheep munching contentedly the basis of our platform was a large truck very kindly loaned to us by the vachon cake company with the hack doors open wide and with the aid of a platform and steps or access to the truck custom built for us by mr fred steck- ley we had an admirable ar rangement those taking pan in the service were able to sit in side thus sheltered from any inclement weather the congre gation having the protection of their cars in addition to this mr ernie carruthers provided an excellent pa system which could be heard clearly even with the car windows closed in preparation for the event we had puhlic service an nouncements broadcast over cfrb and cfgm and as an added reminder advertising postcards were placed in all town and rural mail boxes at last after much prepara tion the services began there was of course no congregational singing thus we had much spe cial music and this was pro vided by an equal mixture of local talent and friends from further afield the preaching was shared hy the two mini sters of the churches rev c bass and rev a barry jones with an occasional visiting speaker an outstanding feature of the services was the personal testi monies given by our own church members indeed even our min- isters witnessed as to how they came to know the lord the very thing on which a minister should base his right to preach not to be outdone the minister- wives also contributed a word of testimony for several weeks there were as many as thirtylive cars in attendance and many of those who took part commented upon the remarkable spirit in the meetings having anticipated some difficulty in speaking or singing to impersonal wind shields it was evident that the lord was present all in all we can praise the lord for the interest shown in addition we want to thank the two head ushers norman nigh and harold powell for their practical assistance thank you too all those who took part in any way and in so doing helped to make this venture thoroughly worthwhile sincerely mrs christine jones box 26s stouffville i tips on winter storage of irrigation equip this years

of the equipment are given bv professor f r hore school of agricultural engineering onta rio agricultural college guelph inspect equipment for pos sible damage before putting it into storage it is wise to make repairs and replace parts in the fall or winter before the busy spring season begins next spring may be dry and your equipment should be ready for operation early in the growing season remove the sprinklers from lite pipe not only is it much easier to store the pipe with the risers and sprinkler heads re moved but there is less chance of damage to the sprinkler check the sprinklers for wear and place them in boxes or slring them on a wire in a dry location generally do not dip sprinklers in oil most sprin klers should not be oiled there fore check manufacturers re commendations

bill smiley day of kisses and roses i have the deepest admiration for those men who make a big fuss over their annual wedding anniversary my wife and i had another anniversary this week and as usual neither of us remembered it until three days after it was past too late to celebrate the reason i admire the anniversary addicts is the sheer boldness of their tactics usually they are about the rottcnest husbands in town on a daytoday basis but with one florid extravagant gesture they wipe out all their sins of the last 12 months and lay the groundwork for another year of getting away with murder few of these birds are the gentle meek timid humble henpecked husbands this era has spawned like you and me not they among their ranks you find ihe deer hunters the fishermen the hard drinkers the poker players the philan derers and yet with a combination of utter effrontery and incredible craftiness they carry it off every year a big bash of candy a flourish of ilowers dinner and a night on the town and the old lady falls for it every time this is the part i cant understand women especially women who have been married for a few years are not notoriously softheaded and yet these women who know perfectly well that the old man is a twotiming heel an incipi ent lush or a bigmouthed bum go all weak at the knees when joe waltzes in on their anniversary with a potted plant im not making this up lets take my pal charlie as an example hes real ill change nothing but the names charlie wouldnt be caught dead taking his wife to church or the movies during the year he takes his holidays in the fall when the boys are going deerhunting mabel stays home it gives her a good chance to rake ihe leaves and get ihe storm windows on when charlie finishes a days work he has a couple or six quick ones with the boys grunts at mabel a few limes during dinner grabs his curling broom or golf clubs and heads out the door charlies idea of a pleasant social evening for mabel is to send her over to visit her sister while he has the poker gang in alter of course she has made a huge lunch for the boys charlie has a lot of trouble with mabels extravagance heck he gives her thirty dollars a week to run the house and feed and clothe the kids and herself and she just runs right through it as though the stuff grew on trees sometimes she hasnt even enough left on saturday to buy his weekend case of beer he had me close to tears as he told me about ihe folly of letting women handle the money with golf and curling fees up this year and a new rille to buy for the hunting trip he figured he might just hafta cut down on the house allowance if they were going to make ends meet now charlie while a pleasant enough fellow to the world and a real swinger with the boys as a husband and father is not only a rat but also a link and mabel who is no dope knows it but you should have seen her the other night when she dropped in to pay my wife back the five bucks shes borrowed recently her eyes were shining and her poor harassed face was all lit up as she told us about the wonderful thrill of their anniversary celebration charlie had come straight home after work without drinks and with roses hustled her into her glad rags and taken her out to the golf club for dinner shed had to come home with some friends because charlie had wandered into ihe locker room and got involved in a poker game but she just couldnt express her appreciation of his thotightlulncss and kindness in leinrmbering their anniversary my wifes comment later id cut his throat this election necessary or not by eric w baker popular though it seems to be the label unnecessary elec tion doesnt fit the facts if we look at them closely for one thing an election was inevitable when bob thompson warned the liberals he could no longer support them because lie couldnt condone the activities confirmed by the dorion report the end of this parliament was in sight if they had reconvened this month as promised by pearson there would have been a series of censure votes in the house no matter which one re ceived united opposition support the result would have been the same a government defeated on a moral issue pearsons ad visors could not risk this or the even greater disadvantage that diefenbaker might have been given an opportunity to form a government and thus in herit control of the election machinery as in meighens day for another thing the future health of the liberal party seems to make this election ne cessary fortunately there are quebec liberals who are already say ing the public will not stand for the unsavory activities reported we must prove the reformers are right when walter gordon says this is not an election issue lie is challenging all good people to say he is wrong while the events are fresh they make a clearcut issue so the public must stand up now and be counted if we ignore the events we say to future politicians do as you wish we dont care if we discipline ihe liberals we warn those future politicians to be prudent perhaps such discipline seems a hit rough on the local liberal candidate who was not accused of complicity however the north york member has already had two terms to make such contribution as he could and he has not yet taken any public stand for reform within his party whether necessary or not this election offers an opportun ity to show our politicians we do care for office supplies business machines tribune office supplies bewiassaaaaaaasessessafe roamin around there were many things old but few things new that in brief is our criticism of history in action dav held saturday afternoon on the grounds of the brougham museum in pickering twp by new we mean somethinj different items and demonstrations of historical interest that have not been displayed before the novelty of four years ago tends to wear itself pretty thin when repeated time after time sawing wood threshing grain and making butter ha become rather common place one could not help but notice how dozens of children clambered excitedly over the broug ham fire truck although it could hardly be classed as an antique in contrast they hardly gave the steam engine a second glance unless frightened out of their shoes by a blast of its whistle what caught our interest the most we thought that the township deputyreeve stole the costume show matched closely by deputyclerk noel marshall and his charming wife clerk doug plitz outfit was also the talk of the grounds but unfortunately we missed him while making the rounds in summing up we would suggest that if this annual program is to become something more than a hand shaking reunion of old friends and neighbours the committee in charge will have to drum up more entries of more interest theres nothing like m sweater a pair of slacks and a little fingernail polish to add a touch of colour to a rural plowing match scene thats what we found on saturday when we visited the site of the york county junior match on ihe roy brilllnger farm at gormley linda ellas a blonde 18 year old completed a tine land with a rulerstraight finish she will represent the county in the furrow queen competi tion at the international she also plans to team up with ron botham of vandorf in the high school class both are stu dents at g w williams secondary school aurora in satur days contest she was coached by leonard wellman of queensville linda does not lind time to do loo much plowing on her fathers farm in fact she admitted that she had gone only one round since last season and they say that practice makes perfect this saturday the junior boys and girls in ontario county will test their skills on the joe tran farm we can think of several from that area that could qualify for the queen award whether or not they can handle a tractor and plow is another thing anyway we hope to see a few plowgirls in action there should be no shortage of coaches in that class while on the subject of tractors and plows floyd for syth and grant wells are the cooperative owners of a 2- furrow mounted unit manufactured in norway under the firm name of kvernelands they purchased the plow 2 years ago when the international was held on the connie smythe farm ken ward at claremont is now a distributor floyd a tractorclass competitor with mounted units for a number of years now claims that overseas the mounted boys have enjoyed a good deal of success not because they are better plowmen but because they use better plows we still have to go some to catch up he said he feels that in trailer plow competition canadian entries are as good or better than any in the world with reference to his own norwegian unit h called it temperamental it will show up the mistakes just as quickly as it will do a good job for you he said he noted that several plowmen in ihe district were now using them and he expects to see more at the international floyd himself will be there and his son wayne 15 will also compete a sixteen year old stouffville boy made all the old pros sit up and take notice at the annual mongolia open promoted by ted topping and held on saturday at the willows robt slack who works in his spare lime in the pro show at sleepy hollow counted a low gross score of 78 including a 40 on th front nine its just possible that pro fred swarbrick has been teaching him a lew tricks of the trade robert was presented with the dr jim stevens memorial trophy low net winner was hal gibson fret bros and harper sold 172 pounds of sausage over the counter on the grounds of the brougham museum on saturday afternoon the vance ambulance service in markham has added a second unit it is a 1959 oldsmobile a big machine that tips the scales at over three tons it is 4v4 feet longer than their chevrolet and is equipped to carry four stretcher patients both vehicles will be maintained as proof that an ambulance was required and is being used the vance unit has answered 74 calls since the service was inaugurated back hi june there were 89 individual entries in the international go- kart championships at goodwood karlways cone 2 ux- bridge twp on sunday afternoon only two of this number were ladies we talked briefly to one of them 18 year old lynda edmison of rr i langton wherever that is near longpoint wherever that is near mount forest shes been manipulating karts in competitions for the past 5 years and can hold her own with any boy or man in one heat she placed 1st in another she came 3rd when she comes out from be hind the weekend regalia of crash helmet goggles and leather jacket she assumes the more feminine role of a clerk in a branch of the imperial bank of commerce her father james edmison is confined to a wheelchair but is an expert engine repairman he keeps his daughters machine in tiptop shape and remained at the edge of the track to watch her put it skillfully through its paces the lord must surely have been riding in ihe back seat of a car from zephyr on friday night en route to the tent campaign service at dicksons hill that was our feeling after we viewed the remains of a 1962 ponliac parked at the rear of sanders ba station in the east end of stouffville the auto driven by harold andrew talt of zephyr was so badly twisted that its a miracle anyone emerged from the wreck alive it was in collision with another vehicle driven hy arthur ferguson of port credit the crash occurred on hwy 48 near the site of the commercial sand and gravel pit four young people two boys and two girls were admitted to hospi tal we attended the kiwanissponsorcd western show in ihe markham arena on friday night the crowd that we would estimate at 500 fell below our expectations it was a fastmov ing program with no delays between numbers the performers were most generous with their stage time including gordie tapp and his hillbilly second self cousin clem sandy cclsic sang live numbers at limes she appeared to be in compcti- ion with the band and in one number they almost drowned her out entirely for those who still argue the fact that local talent doesnt attract attention it would be hard to explain the applause accorded markhams own laura graham the 19 year old runnerup in the shclburne fiddle contest was brought back for an enthusiastic encore for those who dont know it laura has been living in markham for ihe past eight months previously she resided at goodwood and before that at woodstock the violin or fiddle that she plays would cost about 580 new she would like to make it a career the square dance part of the program that concluded the nights enter tainment was much enjoyed by the audience and many would have liked it to have continued for at least another hour all in all it was a great show and we only wish more folks had been there to enjoy it if you noticed a house on wheels parked on main street in stouffville last week and wondered what it was thats exactly what it is a house on wheels owned by john and florence matson of mcarthur ohio it was built by chrysler corp in the united stales and costs 12000 fully cqulppc by this we mean hot and cold water air conditioning refri gerator and stove washroom facilities in fact just about everything youd find
