'District Doings HEAVY FINE FOR DUMPING . - THE STAR EDITORIAL PAGE SPRING! Spring is very much in the air these days and to some extent we are all caught up in it, Along the highways and the by- ways where the spring freshets gurgle and gush we find the kids probing .the depths, runhing along the shores, shifting logs to 'improvise ready-made bridges, loosing bits of wood to gambol along be- side their newly launched ships. Spring for the kids is a time of muddiness and: new-found activity, a time of discovery away from swiftly palling television sets that engulfed them with life and entertain- ment throughout the winter, 'And for their older brothers and sisters it is 8 time for walks and talks; a time for pairing off as ageless as the story of man himself. | It's hard to tell whether this ro- mance business springs from eternal urges - or simply surges to the fore as a result of man's imagination, but whatever it is it has a long history and one that has caught the fancy of poets and songsters and writers--and even Hollywood has an oc- casional go at the theme of spring when it lightly touches the young man's fancy. 'But there are those for whom spring romances are a thing of the past. They still feel spring but they feel it in a differ- 'ent way, Tagged out in their oldest togs THE ELECTION Last June on the eve of the former - election we sat down to the typewriter and in a very clear and precise manner told what: was going to happen on election day. Unlike Maclean's magazine we were able to pull the editorial before the cock-eyed pre- + diction got out in the paper. So we learned our lesson, not to prophesy. It is Sunday as this editorial is. being written. To-morrow about nine million Canadians will have the right to cast their ballots. . Probably not more than six mil- lion of them will do so. It is doubtful if the general vote will reach two thirds of the total possible vote. When the returns are all in and the whole election is over it is possible, but not 'probable the Liberals will be in power once again; if they aren't the Conservatives will be; this is more probable. How many seats of a majority the winning party will } " "Notes and Comments / they start in to clean up the garden, clean up the yard, to paint the house; in short, to bring forth beauty and order where once there was just the awful aftermath of a bleak and bitter winter. They are roman- ticistists too. They feel somehow that spring is a kind of resurrection, a time of new life, and of new hopes and aspirations. There is only one thing to do with such feelings, of course, and that is to find an appropriate outlet for them. But the old people, how does spring af- "fect them? Well, in more measured terms théy get the spring fever too. Now the rocking chairs find their way to the verandah and there in the rays of the spring sun the old sit and talk and sit and rock, Sometimes when the fever is very strong, they walk down the mainstreet to 'see how the village has faired and as they pause to exchange a word here and there there is the suggestion of new life in the old bones. And so spring if it doesn't quite wipe away all the cold of winter goes far to warm our hearts and kindle new hopes and aspirations. Let the atomic bombs do what they will with our Canadian' winters but let's never try to get rid of our blessed. Canadian spring. ' "have is a matter of the widest conjecture. Some experts say that the party returned to, power will have as many as 60; others as few as 20.. We think it is probable that one or the other will have a majority. How- ever, on the basis of the campaign of the two .parties we don't think it will make much difference which party is returned to power. In major issues they think and act alike; in minor things their differences are more obvious, Whichever party gets in, one thing is certain--that it will have to come to grips with inflation, most likely in a rear-guard action by trying to deal with unemploy- ment, : Ea Whatever one says about the election, the fact remains that it did attract con- siderable public attention dnd if this keeps up people will certainly begin to take politics seriously. ' Commission announces. Vice-President is Allin Franks and GARBAGE ON ROADWAY -- MARKHAM--John McSween, 203 Rosemount Ave., and Douglas Law- rie, 126A Spadina Road were fined a total of $122.00 in Buttonyille Court 'on Wednesday of last week for dumping garbage on two Mark- ham Township roads. A portion of ." the load was left on Sideline 19 and the remainder on the 6th_concession. Markham Twp. Police obtained sufficient evidence to pick up the . Toronto "pair. They were employees of Bill Shields Motors. They ~had been instructed to take the refuse and deposit it in a legitimate garbage dump. Chief Clarence Wideman of Markham Twp. said that the garb- age wag left right on the travelled portion of the roads. Both MsSween and Lawrie were fined $50.00 plus $11.00 court costs. STOUFFVILLE REEVE STRESSES NEED FOR LICENSING REST HOMES : Reeve Elmer Daniels stressed the need for an investigation into the possibilities of licensing all rest homes in Stouffville. Reeve Daniels opened discussion.on the matter at a meeting of Council on Thursday evening of last week. The Clerk was instructed to check into the validity of such a plan. The Reeve said that, to his know- ledge, there was no Provincial law that forced the licensing of such premises, : . Reeve Daniels informed the Tri- bune that he expected the matter J" would be dealt with by York County Council at their next regular session, 'He said he had contacted 'County Warden Fred Armstrong concerning the. problem." He noted further, that the issne might also be aired on a Provincial level. "This incident here has started the ball rolling," he said. A Stouffville rest home, operated by Mr. and, Mrs. Bernard McGinty, Ston- ffer St, was closed recently follow- ing the death of a patient.

The resolution as. passed by the Council unanimously, is: "This Council will proceed with the proposal of issuing debentures for a grant in aid of installing artificial ice in the Community Centre." » During the past few weeks consid- erable discussion has taken place on the proposed project for artificial ice at the arena, the building of a curling rink also to have artificial ice. There Has been varied opinions on the subject and it has been batted around like Mickey Mantle batting out home runs. All the pros and cons regarding the project are good. Those who opposed the idea are looking into the future with its possible pitfalls; and those who favor the project, see nothing to be alarmed about even in the future, le, sheep and calves $66,952.

Friday, DISTRICT CHURCHES - : Prospect United The response to our Young Peoples Church came up to all expectations: for we really expected a full Church. It may be, that many-things fail be- cause we do not expect very much, The_order of service was arranged for Canadian Youth by the Dept. of Christian Education of the Canadian '| Council of Churches. Nettie Aldred conducted the Service, and was assist- I ed by Ruby Roach and Betty Reader. We are so sorry that Wesley Johnson got bogged down somewhere between Manchester and the Island, and could- n't just make it. The following boys and girls took part in the reading of the Scripture. Ericka Benschop, Linda Fralick, Margaret Dearborn, Lilly Harper, , (Seagrave), Carol Smith (Greenbank), Stephen Fralick, Terry Braham, Gerry Emm, Don Al- fred (Prince Albert), Geo. Mahaffey (Port. Perry). We were led in song by the junior choir under the leader- ship of Florence Fralick, also the Couves Sisters, from Greenbank, sang "In the Garden." We were happy to have Rev. E: C. Linstead of Port Perry who led us in Acts of Affiliation and Commitment, and Rev. Roscoe Chapin who pronounced the Benediction. Mrs. Chapin was alse with us. Our Minister gave the message, and emphasized the following: 1. That all life comes. from God, and is beautiful and clean as it | comes to us. 2. That God wants us to keep life clean. 3. That the Kingdom of God is here, it is big ¢nough to hold us all. The possibility was held out of organizing next winter, a Youth' Church for the Port Perry area, and meeting once a month in the various Churches. After the service, we had a lovely and friendly time together, when refreshments were served. As nothing happens by chance we would thank all who made this service pos- sible, and for the wonderful co-opera- tion of Port Perry, Seagrave, Green- bank, Prince Albert, and our own 3 churches. The social 'hour was brought to a close by the joining of hands, and singing of "Taps".

That Royal Com- mission was praised by our own Can- adian Labor Congress for its fairness. It, too, found firemen are definitely not needed. It said the railroad was extremely generous in protecting each man's job. Now it would have been understan- dable and useful for the Firemen's Union of the United States to call a and Mrs. G.

But that is not the purpose. Instead, union boss Gilbert has the gall to announce that he has, according to the dispat- ches, "rejected the Report as grossly prejudicial, because it completely ig- nores the position taken by the em- ployees and follows the company's proposals to an alarming degree." Well, when an American, whether Big Labor or Business, challenge the integrity of three of Canada's most respected judges. he leaves himself open to our resent- ment. If he thinks a big Chicago meeting, with only a handful of Can- adian representatives, can decide the fate of our transportation or inflict on us unnecessary costs of more than $20 millions a year, he underestim- ates us considerably.
