page 2 the tribune thursday apr 10 1969 iiniiiiiihiiiiiiiiiuiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiimiiiiiiiiiiiiimiiiimi uluiiuuluiiiuluiiiuiiiuiuuuuiiiluiiiiiiiiiulhuhiiiiiiiiiiiuiltllllllll the city of stouffville stouffville a part of century city or century city a part of stouff ville as a result of a meeting between representatives from the fourteen municipalities in york county and hon darcy mckeough minister of municipal affairs it would now ap pear possible that the latter could be true it was in reply to a question posed by reeve ken laushway concerning the future status of the village that mr mckeough recommended the cre ation of a greater stouffville area should this come to pass it would be safe to say that century city would be part of that area the benefits of such a decision would be twofold it would mean that stouffville as a borough within the greater county region would re tain its identity in addition it would tend to ease the pressure of opposi tion against century city voiced by some members of uxbridge twp council and county council we fully support such a plan and anticipate no objection from the de velopers themselves several of its promoters never were completely sold on the century city name right from the start under an area expansion program it would be the town of stouffville and later the city of stouffville as development proceeds and population buiidup con tinues with the reported purchases by revenue properties limited of farm lands located entirely within the stouffville limits it would indicate now more than ever that the present boundary separation will ultimately be dissolved conflict of interests the stouffville skating club car nival one of the most colorful of lo cal recreation events is scheduled for two successive nights this week april 11 and 12 the program which includes close to 200 participants will play to an audience of about 1500 persons its unfortunate that the iceshow here and in markham should fall on exactly the same dates this conflict of evenings has occurred before many people here in stouffville and in markham who enjoy this kind of thing have expressed disap pointment over the clash no one seems to know for sure how it all happens perhaps in the future the execu tives of each organization would bp wise to consult one another before the show times are finalized too much time and work is involved to lose even one potential patron keep them down on the farm a check through stoufevilles dusty bylaw books will disclose a council order forbidding the pasturing of livestock on the boulevard areas of the village main street are horses included in this edict if not they should be it has become common practice here for young riders to parade their steeds along the sidewalk through the business section of town and while considered somewhat of a nov elty at first it has now become a nui sance the condition of the walk on the north side of main and east of mill street saturday was nothing short of disgraceful shoppers out in force by the dozens following the friday holiday must surely have viewed the mess with disgust others who didnt see it but walked through it were evei less fortunate we think its a wonderful thing that so many teenagers in this area have suddenly become such enthusi astic equestrians their enthusiasm for displaying their horses in public must be con trolled if not then the towns street cleaning program will have to be ex panded to include also the sidewalks shades of the days of a i pryne

sugar and spice students are after me by bill smiley if you hear that my house has been burned or that student rioters have occupied my study and taken axes to my typewriter dont be surprised the student militants are after me their hackles were raised when i suggested in a recent column that they get away with everything but murder i said it and i mean it there shouldnt be one law for the rich and another for the poor and there shouldnt be one law for some poor devil of a kid who gets six months for stealing something worth 555 and another law for students who commit arson destroy property and are hailed as martyrs from halifax one barrie sandham launches an attack after condescend ingly telling me that he is not a regu lar reader of my column but glances over it once in a while while admitting that he is not one of them says he nothing would be accomplished in getting rid of the dead hand of administration in the universities in that case why are you not one of them young barrie are you one of the hundreds of thousands who sit back and let a few do the dirty work and then get on the gravy train when the smoke has cleared theres a mixed metaphor i defy even an irishman to better his letter is too long to quote but he adopts a familiar type of logic in it when you cant refute the argu ment attack the speaker so he ac cuses me of writing nothing ser ious being a subscriber to time mag azine hiding behind someone elses opinions writing for rightwing fa natics mudslinging and worst of all being doublechinned that gives you an idea of the coherency of the letter dear boy you are 120 percent wrong i often write seriously never read time except in the dentists of fice never hide behind others opin ions write for canadians from plum ber to politician doctor to ditchdig ger teacher to teenager dont sling mud though sometimes rocks and have a chin like a shovel thats 100 percent the other 20 percent is for spelling and grammar errors though perhaps this is unfair as you are ob viously a college student as though this werent enough comes a searing letter dripping with sarcasm from a young lady in red deer alta it encloses a paragraph from my column out of context and is on behalf of all militant students somehow i emerge as the villain we have destroyed parks universi ties and computers but you and your gleeful following have broken the mental barriers and destroyed the values and inhibitions that held us back someone had to unleash the hounds and i dont think they should go unnoticed who the hounds then she compares me with her dad who apparently wasnt strict enough then we kids let ourselves go sometimes but what an orgy of unrestrained jealousy your genera tion has had dear girl say it isnt so i havent broken a mental barrier or destroyed any values or inhibitions including my own for years and i have never yet unleashed a single hound i too let myself go sometimes but unre strained jealousy pity is the emo tion i feel most often toward young people then she attacks newspapermen you sure know how to use the old axe if we stole their politicians car theyd have it back tomorrow you can take their name and reputa tion and get paid for it nonsense love if you stole a car youd be ar rested if i stole a name or reputa tion id be sued for libel final excerpt the smart ones work behind the scenes and let oth ers go to jail besides youve solved the problem of eternal youth im afraid i dont get the connection but id be happy to serve a jail term if the latter statement were true you should have my bursitis kid along with my falling hair teeth and ar ches all i can say is student activism yes student terrorism no jtimtotkfcmyo dear sir in your editorial the innocent need not fear of march 20 you in dicated that i have taken an over cautious approach to the everpresent problem of drinking drivers and com pulsory breathalizer tests you indicate that if i would accom pany you on accident scenes in the area my opinions would change this gives the impression that i am op posed to compulsory breathalizer tests or in fact that i am not very much concerned about the problem of drinking and driving neither pro position is an accurate statement of my views i am very much concerned with drinking and driving and feel that it is imperative that legislators take ac tion to lessen the carnage on our roads i intend to vote in favor of compulsory breathalizer tests for this reason the fact that i have a reservation in respect to the shortcomings of the law does not in any way leave my self open to the charge of being dis interested in the problem best personal good wishes i am norm cafik mp ontario riding many thanks for printing letters pro and con the humane societys opposition to bills 73 and 74 i have read all the letters and editorials and the bills themselves and i feel there are still one or two points not clari fied a money donated or bequeathed for a specific purpose cannot honestly be used for another purpose least of all for one which would bring about the very thing the donor hoped to av ert it would make one think twice before giving or bequeathing sums of money to any charity if this were actually permitted b isnt it a great oversimplifica tion to say that all research benefits mankind the united states and canada on a smaller scale spend a great deal of money on research into biological warfare this means the misery of thousands of animals and what human beings benefit c some have said that nothing should impede medical progress no methods should be forbidden but consider the parallel case of war even at the height of a war when the safety of thousands may depend on one piece of intelligence the tor ture of prisoners of war for informa tion is not allowed by the geneva convention this is felt to be too in tolerable what we want is a geneva convention that will say some things are too cruel to be done to any ani mal pet or otherwise because hu manity is degraded by some actions whatever the material gain if the medical schools and hospi tals would collaborate with the hu mane societies in working out and applying such a code both science and the humane movement would gain ethelwyn wickson kettleby ont fc me shfctne wr establish 1888 c h nolan publisher jim thomas editor noel edey advertising published every thursday by the stouuville tribune

than average but what i lacked in natural ability i attempted to re place with enthusiasm participation that was the thing as a spectator i still get as excited as the next guy and i lose patience with the hehum fan who seems con tent to sit on his hands in the stands all night this im sorry to say is the kind of attitude displayed by the majority of stoultvilles sideline viewers and its not only confined to hockey folks here just dont get overly en thused about anything were a con servative crowd mr trudeau take note and its a hard thing to shake its not necessary for stouffville fans to visit other sports centres to take lessons in team support the truth is were often outshouted right in our own rink that hurts since im no longer directly associ ated with the sports beat for the tribune i dont get to see as many games as i would like the arena used to be my second home and i miss it with the season rapidly drawing to a close i assigned myself to the co verage of an ontario rural hockey association playoff semifinal in ux bridge friday night claremont facing elimination was hosting ayr a dot on the map midway between brantford and kitchener at twenty minutes before game time the line up at the arena entrance was half a block long inside they were jammed together like sardines i worked my way down to a strategic spot behind the penalty box police anticipating trouble were out in force one tubular officer with a twofoot night stick dangling om inously at his side stoo3directly be hind two others both from the opp were close by it was obvious they meant business and ayr fans concentrated in that section were well aware that any shenanigans would result in an immediate heave- ho physical violence was thus replac ed by vocal exuberance and from the oral fragrance of the area it was evident that the vocal cords of many had been well lubricated prior to game time while i dont condone drinking at sports attractions the comments voiced by hockey inebriates can sometimes be amusing one such con versation went as follows how much time left joe dont ask me i cant see the clock 1 think were near the end of the third inning wrong game joe say youre in bad shape no worsen you sam wed best stick together i wonder if theyve got a hotel in this place no shes dry as a bone i already asked sure is one of a place to hold a hockey match thats what i was thinkin i guess you cant win em all i hear we play wainfieet next maybe they got a hotel there lets hope so thats the trouble with these lit tle hick towns like claremont this isnt claremont its ux bridge just as bad no hotel here either i wonder if theyve got a jail i don know and don intend to find out sure got a lot of cops look at em all over the place guess they heard we was comin eh sam guess so kinda quiet here tonight no fights or nothin sure some different from the last one we was at you should know you started it all is that right dont remember a thing no wonder they had to carry you out you know its kinda hard to be lieve the seasonll soon be be over a good thing i say youll need six months to re cover
