The only people dissatisfied with the new arrange-. ments being worked out are the followers of Kashani, the Majlis who claims a sell- ie ead, put of which Abadan is capable would he present market as a glut. It now appears that the five major American oil Anglo-Iranian, Royal Dutch Shell and the companies working with are prepared-to make a deal dersians themselves of 5 imperialists.

INDIFFERENCE OR : OVER-ORGANIZATION' The indifferent attendance at some public meetings concerning the wel- fare of our business, lead one to pon der the question as to whether we are over-organized - and that the simply too many demands -being- We have pre. sently, one service club, one business-' men's organization and' one athletlo organization. However, there are niany and varied other smaller groups both within and without the large number 'of church organizations. Many of our readers will say that we are over-organized, but the writer is inclined to put: much lack of attend: __ance_ down _to_ indifference. True there are too many organiza- "tions for m eople to find time to attend all, but have found that many who are only iqiterested in pos. sibly one or two, are not to be found in their places very regularly at the - meetings. Although this: situation is not pe- culiar to Stouffville, it is regrettable that the few organizations which we have directly working for the advance- ment of our town, from a business, recreational and welfare standpoint, are so poorly patronized at their meetings: Tn iia The community will not progress in these departments of itself but only through the whole-hearted support and interest of every eligible citizen. Through the organizations we have, this' interest should he channeled in a tangible way, We must have con- colidation and unification of effort. a community not us for the organi- tion, is a fact which many seem to forget. :: organizations are working for us --Stouffville Tribune a. "DR. MUTCHMORE DRAWS CRITICISM ~~ on The speech by Dr. Mutchmore de- nouncing working wives has drawn strong ciriticlsm from the fairer sex "as well as from many husbands and other men not yet blessed by the state of matrimony. These criticisms are well founded as the Reverend, gentle. men must realize if he takes time'to read of the thousands of people who are struggling by on less than is ne- ~cessary to afford a decent living and "on that same pitifully small wage en- deavouring to raise and. educate a family. Surely it is no sin to want to own a modest home, to dress and eat well and to keep a family unit together, In many, many cases none of this could be accomplished if the © wife was unwilling to undertake some extra outside work to supplement her husband's earnings. © © «© Concerning fur coats, we respect- fully submit that the Dr. is outside his territory and also, unless his re- marks wefe being directed only to this country's southern-most residents, that a fur coat is not considered a luxury. If the Dr. has ever spent a winter-in_the sections of' this country. where zero weather is the rule rather than the exception, he will know whereof we speak. This, of course takes in the northern sections of all the larger provinces as .well as the majority of the prairies and Quebec. Even on a cold day in Toronto when Lake Ontario breezes freeze their way up Young Street we think the deliver- er of thé criticized remark would have to concur that a fur coat would be more of a comfort than a luxury. Admittedly, the ladies could fl don a suit of men's long woolies which could keep them as snugly warm as their cosy furs but does beauty, of which the world is full, need to be complete- ly rejected? : 1 We feel that the majority of mar- ried women have no great desire*to take outside employment after mar- riage and would be much more con- tent spending their days busy with baking, babies and brooms. However, if one wishes to own a home in which to put these things it is all too fre- quently necessary. for both members of the marriage partnership to work in order to get it.

The other night an article appeared in one'of the papers telling of a nrem- ber of the, Ontario legislature's feel- ings in the matter of cars and safety on the roads. He suggested that manufacturers: should be required by law to equip all cars with governors which made possible a maximum speed of 60 miles per hour. "The Post" ad- vanced a similar- suggestion a few. weeks ago and it is satisfying to note that there are others who share the view that ears are capable of going at speeds faster than the average in- dividual is safe to drive them, The staggering toll of dead and injured which is resulting from highway tra- vel is all the evidence that is needed to confirm this beliefs and more evi- dence than should be required to prompt apthorities to take adequate action to curb the trend. There is a growing feeling among many people that car manufacturers have an obligation to the motoring public to do more than they have been in the interests of safety. One very good idea which was advanced the 1 | other day suggested that entire cars be urrounded by a band of thick rub- ber or other shock-absorbing material so that a head-on collision would pro- duce a bounce instead of a crash. Still another suggestion concerned the in- terior construction of cars and advo- -cated--a-foam rubber, or similar cu- shioning panel across the top. to break the force of impact in an upset. More adequate protection across the dash- 'board area was also recommended, plus general construction improve- ments which would _get away from the "sardine can" features found in many cars today. There is great need for improvement in automobile safety and great should be the acclaim of any manufacturer who takes the initiative in pioneering some much-needed safety features. As for the need for governing the speed of cars by automatic controls, there is a very definite case to be considered by provincial and federal authorities. --Lindsay Post District Doings > REFORM COMMITTEE ADYVO- CATES BUILDING NEW SCHOOL BOWMANVILLE --= The report of the select committee on Reform Insti- tutions tabled in the Ontario Legisla- ture on Monday recommended that the buildings and 1and at the Ontario Training School for Boys at Cobourg be sold and a new sghool on the grounds of the training school at Bow- manville. The committee recommended that these new buildings 'be built as far '| from the existing buildings as possi- ible. It also proposed that the train- .ing school. for boys at Guelph be dis- continued and the inmates be quar- tered in_a proposed industrial school. BOOST RATE AT LINDSAY HOSPITAL ~~. _ The proprictor of the Lindsay Pri- vate Hospital, Mr. J. Holtom, had many complimentary things said about. his etablishment at the Tuesday af- ternoon «session of Victoria County Council. Council also complied with his request for a raise -in the daily rate for indigent patients. ; Mr. Holtom had requested earlier that the daily rate paid him for indi- gent patient care be raised from $3 to $3.60 becausé of rising costs of food, supplies, ete. A special advisory committee of County Council com: .»--=L mended that they would agree to pay the extra 25c. per patient per day, if the municiaplity would do likewise. County Council concurred with the advigory committee's report, setting March 1st as the day the new rate would take effect. MINDEN AREA COTTAGERS ARE STAKING TOO iv ad Minden, March 8--Cotthgers along the highway north of Minden, Ontario, are staking thém from urapium,hung- ry prospectors. 3' The staking is inspired by a search for. uranium which has spread: north from the Kinmount-Norland, arca to the district near the summer resort at Miners Bay. There also has been °| staking activity at Crystal Lake. Mining companies are yrging Hali- | burton and Minden businessmen to get behind the search for uranium in the Haliburton Highlands.

' My, Tolmie will, be at the exhibit of the Department for the full 10 'days of the show. STILL GET._NO*WATER i IN SUNDERLAND DRILLING Police Village trustees of Sunder- land hit.a steady string of - failures ih drilling for a water supply that was hoped would give the village a fire- protection quantity as well as water supply for homes in the area. al Water Supply Company tried in five or six places, but could not get beyond a strita of bedsrock at levels from 48 to 70 feet. Sufficient water was found in some of the drilling to service half-dozen properties, but nothing like a supply for municipal reservoir. Engineers opinions from the drill- tests would seem to show it impossible for Sunderland to get water by arte- sian wells, The possibility remains for Sunderland Trastees to pump vri- ver water from the Beaver River up to a reservoir for a water supply for fire purposes and then in later years to install the costly filtration" plant necessary before it could be piped into homes.

Council de- cided to hold over any decision with regard to the opening up of new suh- divisions in the municipality. The Planning. Board had requested direc- tion from council concerning such matters. . .

Other requests came from Kinsale, Green River, Ajax, Cherrywood and Cone. 2. In 1952 Council and Planning Board decided .that no subdivisions be ap- proved until the proper level of indus- try was induced into the municipality to cover education costs or sufficient govt. grants be obtained.

A com- munication from_the Ontario Munici- pal Board draws attention to the: fact that a $25,000 capital expenditure for new rooms was made in 19563 on this school without the sanction of the Bd: Markham Township appears quite in- nocent of the matter since no request for this expenditure cver came before council. , Reeve LeMasurier stated that he was aware that new building was taking place at the school and from conversation with the contrac- tor believes that the expenditure was closer to $10,000. © Learning To Do Ry Doing 5 4-H Club work for rural boys and? girls is a definite and important part of Agricultural Extension program: mes and may be defined as a volun- tary educational movement designed to provide, through organized groups, a practical training in Agriculture and Home.
