against Hitlers bombers and fighters We saw a report that the last Spitfire went out of service a few months ago Hurricane are probably out of service now although a year or so ago they were being used by the Portu gese government We hope a few are saved for museums and keep some of them flying for sentimental reasons The recent flypast of jet fighters over London was led by one Spitfire and one Hurricane The names of the pilots were not known We were aroused that the caption on the picture referr ed to these aircraft as being ancient Although they are called an cient the engines that

WORKERS Deserving of praise are the people in York County who are working on the York County hospital building fund campaign It was reported this week that cash and pledges excluding all government grants total 125000 but the significant fact is that the cost of rais ing that amount of money was only and some cents most of it for postage According to the cam paign workers there are more contributions coming in which have not yet been reported Campaign workers have been giving many hours of work and the commun ity will be indebted to them when the new hospital wings are built Had the campaign been put in the hands of a professional agency a good percentage of the total contributed by citizens of the county would have gone to pay canvassers to pay for bookkeeping advertising general administration of the fund and profits to the agency A chairman of the campaign announced recently that a total of has been raised includ ing personal and corporation contributions government and municipal grants still to be collected in order to reach the objective of UuO000 Until the full plans and specifications and a tender for construction are obtained thexactcOf the hospital expansion program will not be known but the hospital campaign committee is certain that the total objective of will be needed NEGLECT OLD BURYING GROUND South of the community of Sharon not far from Newmarket is an old cemetery which is being cared for by the descendants of the pioneers who were buried there and by others of the community who arc interested in preserving the burying ground An association was formed by these people for the sole purpose of restoring and maintaining the cemetery An iron fence now surrounds the property and the grave stones have been repaired The grass is kept short and the cemetery is a pleasant spot on the side of the highway Unfortunately there does not seem to be an interest in Newmarkets history as there is in that of Sharon There is a vacant plot of ground on tingle St some of the first pioneers of this district were buried Jn fact its history goes back beyond the history of Newmarket as a community All but two of the many stones which marked the graves of the have been removed and the plot of land is merely another vacant lot surrounded by subdivisions It is unfortunate that burying ground The property is owned by the Anglican church but we do not blame the officials of the church it requires money to restore and the cemetery and churches do not always money available is the responsibility of the cffiOKnuilitS1tt ciftKr- was probably there before the A started the sometUiog be done to restore thin old site make it landmark it should be USELESS there are who AfeU because by passes Newmarket they arc losing business One merchant said that Street loses out because the city people driving to their collages skirt the town They say that something should be done to bring this traffic through Newmarket It is a perfectly reasonable that tourists and highway travellers shop in thus promoting local prosperity but any effort to bring traffic through town is Contrary to modern road planning and contrary to the provinces policy of building bypass roads around builtup areas It might he said that Newmarket was the first community to have bypasses because it is not situated mi a main highway two well travelled routes provincial highway 1 along the western outskirts and Toronto and York Commission Route 12 along the eastern outskirts carry a large volume of northsouth traffic We should be thankful that all that traffic does not pass along Newmarkets Main Street Considering our narrow street little or no business would be done It is said that thousands of motorists who pass within a short distance of Newmarket never see it A few years ago the construction of the Queen Elizabeth highway brought about the same conditions at With Torontos new bypass thousands of tourists will never see Toronto With the building of highway thous ands of cottagers and tourists never see But one thing is certain people who want to do business in some of these communities now have a better opportun ity to move around in their automobiles under better traffic conditions Newmarket businessmen may worry about losing transient trade We believe they would do little business with the occupants of cars picked at ran dom out of the heavy flow of Yonge St traffic Some of the mental energy used up in worry about transient trade could be expended in more profitable ways in the trading area surrounding this community There are plenty of potential customers who are not on the move in places where personal contacts can be made Some merchants have been doing this work for a long time with outoftown fashion shows displays at fairs in the district and by using advertising media which reach these areas HUMOR IN SMALL TOWN We like to live in a small town because we know many of the people we see on the street We know the fellow who makes a homerun for the home team In a small town one makes a purchase at a store and has a friendly chat with the proprietor and hears the news of the day We like to hear old timers tell of humorous incidents that happened in the community in days gone by a small community seems to have a sense of humor of its own That is why we liked the bit of fun at Fairy Lake last Friday night when the socalled Slim made his swim in the mud and weed IS The large crowd was an indication that Newmar ket people will go along with a bit of humor As for the point about the community needing a swimming pool the humor in Slim swim did more to promote the idea thai Ait editorial lecture But ail evetit like Slim swim can only bo carried out in a small town We felt that it was keeping up Newmarkets old spirit of the past Well I suppose you are sat isfied with yourself now that you have focused all the atten tion in town on yourself I said to Slim today I should think that ego of yours is about to burst I went on Theres something about being in the limelight that goes to peoples heads Alter all you didnt make the swim across Lake you failed to complete the last feet so I dont know what you have to be so conceited about Slim leaned back in the chair put his feet up on the shiny oak top arid an El Pando cigar his favorite people what lives a drab and dull existence what dont know what it is like to be a public what Just goes about the routine mun dane duties of work you people dont understand what a problem it is to be popular Take me instance- famous see Overnight become famous Tore I made that swim was a nobody Now Ive got a lot to contend with public appearances probably auto graphs probably endorsements of products pictures radio and all that stuff probably said Slim Now you cant say that all that dont change a person a little I Jest cant on independent no Ive got me public to consider after Slim added Welt If you are to be public figure I said A REGRETTABLE PRECEDENT Congress has passed and President Eisenhower has signed a law which obliges stthwrsive groups in the to register printing presses and duplicating equipment It is not an example for Canadians either of wise legislation or effective says the trade magazine the Canadian Printer and Pub lisher product of this jaw is more likely in the to curtail the rights of people than to frustrated ytwedent it can only In encourage repressive laws it has precedents of its including the nolo ions the earlier licensing of the press by the Star Chamber Heaping con fusion upon con fusion Congress and President have ttlSo outlawed the Communist party Ho thrust beyond the pale of law by one measure subverting Communists are called upon by the other to register their printing gear Merely to tabulate the absurdities of all this would ha a sizeable task it should suffice to note the impli cation of a law which recognizes the possession and use of printing equipment by subversive groups while re quiring its registration It is like letting a killer have a gun registered of course AntiCommunist legisla tion per oven when rigorously enforced seems fated to help rather than to hinder Communism it was tried without success in Canada a generation ago Mussolini outlawed Communism only to be kilted by Commun ists whose organization was so effective that they had 10000000 votes in Italy within a couple of years his death S Hostile propaganda cannot be stilled by reducing the propagandists shout to a whisper because measures automatically magnify the importance the propaganda increase its impact and stimulate wits of its purveyors Within the taw unrestricted circulation of the New York Daily Worker and of the Communist press in Paris has shrunk greatly during the past few years In time it might be expected to shrink more but now that the New York Dally Worker has the added distinction of being illegal its messages whether delivered openly or covertly will be read with far more interest If not inhinmnt on in not of to on national It octMHoti j it- pears to me is wee re our friendship stops Ill be no party all this fuss After if it were not for rue and my column you never would have made that swim At least there have been crowds no glory no fame It was I I the most popular colum nist in this newspaper who promoted the swim and pub licized it True said Slim True
