the tribune stouffviiie 0m thursday july 26 1951 the stouffville tribune established 1888 member of the canadian weekly newspaper association and ontario quebec newspapers association member of the audit bureau of circulations authorized as 9econd clais mail post office department ottawa lssued every thursday at stouffviiie ontario in canada 250 in usa 300 a v nolan son publishers notes and comments sewers definitely on the way while its only a guess by the writer the cost of a sewerage system to serve the needs of stouffviiie would be in the neighborhood of 450 per house or approxim ately 250000 basing our cost on those of richmond hill this town is right now in the midst of letting tenders for just such a project such a cost is not impossible for a place of this size and it is most assuredly coming in the not too distant future and if the town water system had been placed on a business basis years ago instead of supplying water to hundreds of tenants and all and sundry at less than actual cost a sizeable fund could have been accumulated today which might have been applied against a sewerage system nothing is so mtich desired by the ratepayers as a system of sewers that would do away with cesspools and septic tanks as well as being the answer to flooded cellars in the spring the council has only recently been called upon by the local health unit to give the whole matter very serious consideration several years will be required to develop the idea and accumulate costs whats wrong with a means test when a canvasser is soliciting subscriptions for a charity he should be prepared to answer some questions the prospective giver having only a restricted amount to give away after dominion provincial and municipal governments have been through his pockets is naturally desirous that his gift should go where it is most needed if the organization soliciting his subscription is one in tended to relieve poverty the giver wants to know how many cents of his dollar will actually go in cash or goods to the poor and how many will be diverted to the payment of office expenses investigators and other social welfare workers he may also want to know how the organization decides who should be helped and how the help should be given no reputable charity should object to such a means test it represents only common prudence on the part of the giver yet when ottawa decides to dispense charity on a lavish scale it is often argued that a means test is too degrading for the beneficiaries a question that might be discussed is whether it is more degrading to accept charity after a need for it has been proved or to accept it when it is not needed higher low heels high or low heels on womens shoes that is a never- ending controversy one school of thought believes that wearing stilt heels for special occasions is enough to ruin feet and another insists that a flatfooted generation may develop as a result of flatheel styles and low loafers both schools are wrong according to the experts most foot authorities agree that high heels worn for short times only are not harmful it is the constant use of high heels that doctors decry they should not be worn all day and especially not at business the average woman walks 70000 miles in a lifetime and takes 18000 steps in an average day high heels worn to excess tend to throw the body forward causing fatigue and squeezing the toes lowerheel shoes because they avoid this tendency of throwing the foot forward general ly maintain better body posture and foot stance a woman accustomed to wearing highheel shoes should make the change gradually as it otherwise might cause acute discomfort structural changes have occurred notably a shortening of the calf muscles and low heels are apt to cause postural discomfort and temporary strain women need have no fear of the ontheground mode if they make sure that they provide sufficient support this involves a good sole for a stable foundation combined with sufficient pliability to give muscles free play smart and youthful new styles in low shoes have suc ceeded in doing what lectures and sermons throughout the generations have failed to accomplish they have induced many women to come off their high heels for most occa sions passing stouffviiie by a recent report in the financial post states that a complete building report of the expansion of industry for 1050 shows that there is a definite turn towards decentral ization and that never before have so many plants been erecting additions and subsidiary concerns in small centres surrounding the city of toronto scarboro township which has enjoyed industrial ex pansion in the past few years rarely equalled in the dominion is still drawing a great influx of firms into that area a plant for the john inglis company which will require about 5000 workers is under construction a trailer com pany which will give employment to about 200 workers and which moved from windsor to scarboro opened its plant on july 3 two well known firms the thermos company and the lambert pharmaceutical company have begun construction of new plants the largest aeroplane parts manufacturing company in great britain is planning a new factory which- will eventually comprise 200000 square feet as shown by the latest census figures in town stouff viiie is growing and most rapidly in recent years however this growth if it is just making the town larger will mean little if its economy is not balanced with the proper amount of industrial expansion this residential population can bring very great headaches as municipalities such as markham township have learned the provision of schools alone without industry to help carry the load can be back- breaking the demand for additional services for these many new homes can also be crippling week by week the population is coming one can see it each time he drives to toronto it continues to roll northward like a tide and we will certainly need industry to cope with this tide as it reaches our town industry can be secured if the proper effort is made in that direction little or no strenuous effort has ever been made here to secure a share of this industrial activity whirh is forcing torontos outer rim further and further northward this is a question which stouffviiie municipal business and service club leaders might well give serious study to and definitely more so than in the past for parents only by nancy cleaver the old home town happy times outdoors by nancy cleaver 1 cant keep johnny in his own yard he is only four and

he grows out of his play pen he is still too young to be trusted to play near a busy road any parent reading a daily newspaper with its num erous accounts of small children who have been knocked down and injured or even killed by pass ing traffic will not dispute this a good sand box is one of the best investments for small child ren look at the picture of one in any large catalogue you will likely decide that it can be built by father out of large discarded wooden boxes at a fraction of the cost of a store sand box a low wall of bricks may be used instead of wood a little shade for sunny days is appreciated by the sand diggers if no kind tree spreads its limbs in the yard a sun umbrella or an awning shade on four corner supports can be constructed small seats either in the corners or built around the outside add to the childrens comfort a wooden box for small pails shovels and little cars should be nearby the box should be covered at night with a canvas or wooden cover in order to keep the sand clean a swing is another wonderful source of fun and provides exer- else for a variety of muscles the movement of a swing has a fascin- 1 ation for a child older children delight in a jungle gym or monkey bars for climbing and these too can be made by an enterprising j father i if no convenient trees limbs are handy for a swing plan to construct a safe durable frame- work if possible make it a double swing so two children can use it dig two holes for the posts and construct a wall for the under- ground cement base rocks add to the anchorage the cross bar must be firmly fastened to the up right posts side supports for the posts or guy wires are a help too i a childs play house made from odds and ends of lumber is another wonderful centre of activity for tea parties and house keeping with a doll family little boys glory in a tent or tepee and this can be made from ordinary potato bags if heavier factory cotton or tent material is too expensive other ideas for play equipment are described i in books on recrea tion in the public library take a look at them and see if there is something which you can make which your family would enjoy if possible visit a sports department in a store and look over their best sellers the old fashioned games like lawn croquet and horseshoes with rubber shoes for small fingers and quorts are much in demand there are also many customers asking for ham mocks and two seated lawn swings dont neglect the inexpenj sive items like skipping ropes perhaps you could stretch your budget to include one of these discuss plans for play equip ment in an informal family coun cil if your children are of school age let everyone share in the plans and the work and the cost of new recreation material because everyone will enjoy it

parts of the province for varying periods of time housing costs continue to rise prospective purchasers of new houses are finding that prices are at least twice what they were for similar struc tures ten years ago and that they are 1000 or 2000 higher than they were in 1949 officials of the central mortgage housing corporation estimate that the cost of building a bungalow type of dwelling is rising about 1000 per annum though this is sad news for families looking for new homes the reason for the increase in house prices is no mystery they have been following the rising curve in the wages of labor and the cost of materials just so long as these continue going up the public may expect to see a corresponding risein the price of dwellings the building industry has not been able to devise methods which would simplify building methods or reduce the cost of erecting a wall or laying a floor when comparing the prices of houses today with prices ten years ago it should be borne in mind that the weekly or monthly income of a majority of people is con siderably greater than a decade ago the number of dollars received has increased though their buying power has decreased consequently the higher prices being asked for houses has not prevented thousands of people in the artisan class acquiring homes and paying for them on a monthly basis a tour of the suburban districts reveals nev com munities with streets of new houses many of which are owner- occupied but with the price of new houses continuing to rise families in the lower middle income groups are finding it increasingly difficult to make the initial down payments that are asked the dominion governments suspension last february of the 1950 provision for higher loans on new properties has meant that many families are preven ted from buying homes because they cannot scrape to gether 20 per cent of the purchase price for the down payment the telegram alf collins on june 29th mr bruce morton the outgoing mis sionary
