How big is your stake in your town? Is it just a place in which to eat and sleep and do your work or is it a place of which you are proud; a place that spells home to you every bit as much as your own back yard? You will get out of life exactly what you put into it and so it is with your town. You will get out of it exactly what you put into it. You can reach out to your neighbour, get to know him and to your fellow busi- nessmen, or you can retire within your- self and never know what is going on a- round you. If you reach out to be friendly with your neighbour in a town our size, ten to one you get a friendly reply, but you do have to reach out first. Don't ex- pect the other fellow to make the first gesture all the time. The rewards for this kind of living are "very great. You get to know all kinds of people you would not ordinarily choose as friends. You do not have to be constant- ly intimate with them but you do learn why they do what they do. Yow do find that your own troubles may not be nearly as great as somebody else's. Then you begin to get together with your -acquaint- ances to make certain situations better when you have learned to see that co- operation will accomplish. what no one in- dividual can. In just such a way our fine schools were born, our churches establish- ed, our hospital made a reality, our rink built and our lakeside parks beautified. - In the same way countless needy indi- The Irgn Man We have something to learn from the lives of all men, but some men in parti- cular lead lives that seem to epitomize some outstanding charcteristic and such was the life of Foster Dulles. ' In many ways Foster Dulles was more suited to be a leader in a totalitarian state ..... It is easier to see him leading a So- viet mission than opposing it. For above all Dulles was a man who believed implicit- ly in the righteousness of his own cause. He knew he was right because he was Dul- les. Ordinarily such a man with such con- victions in a democracy suffers the fate of a McCarthy or a Townsend, but not Dulles. And the reason for this had to . do with his absolute integrity. The power of conviction based on sin- cerity demonstrates the awful greatness of the human spirit. Looking back in history we come on such men in the per- sons of Savonarola, Calvin, Martin Luther and countless others. They made their marks in history not only because of their avowed convictions but because these con- victions were held deeply and sincerely. { 4 viduals have been helped when disaster struck in one form or another. Our lib- rary lady and her assistant have been men- tioned in a letter to the editor, and we our- selves have commented on the value of books and reading many times in these co- lumns. Scout and guide leaders, music teachers and trainers in the various fields of sport all deserve to be mentioned in a town like ours for the contribution they make to the real enrichment of life, Participation is.the key to this enrich- ment, not spectator sport or entertainment but actual participation. Our choirs did very well in the music festival. Our teams hold their place well in baseball & hockey. We have hobbies developed and developing throughout the area. Maybe we are not as professional as the television shows but we have a lot of real values packed into our own lives when we take our place, how- ever small in such community living. It is in communities like ours that great men are often reared. We cannot begin to mention names of Port Perry's famous sons, we might leave out someone that you know, but we can say that when you strug- gle to your feet to reply to a toast at a 'local banquet, when you pitch ball, when you sing in a school choir you may be mak- ing your first bid for a self-confidence that will stand you in good stead someday in broader fields of endeavour. If not, at least you will be living as an individual in a stream-lined mechanized world and - therefore you will be Somebody and your town will be the better for it. Dulles saw himself as the champion of the free world. He believed that he alone knew and understood the real menace of communism; he believed that God had se- - lected him to fulfill this particular mission. In spite of pressure, ridicule, and opposi- tion from the most powerful and highly placed of his allies he never wavered. Slowly but surely he brought the Ameri- can people around to a point where they accorded him a grudging support; Eisen- hower from the beginning had complete faith in him, Nothing stopped Dulles save death. As a sick man he still carried on and assumed .burdens of work and responsibility that most men would not have dreamed of ac- cepting. He was made of the stuff that Carlyle says is truly heroic and as a heroic figure he won the respect of both friend and foe. The vigor of his assertion was the strength of the man and this will be re- membered long after his mistakes and blunders have heen forgotten.

LACROSSE : PETERBOROUGH -- Peterborough Petes opened their Ontario Lacrosse Association Senior A schedule Friday night before 1,000 fans, taking a 13-5 decision from Welland, Petes led 6-2 at the end of the first perid and 7-2 going into the third. Welland took nine of the 16 penalties. Moon Wooton was outstanding in " the Peterborough net. . Petes played most of the players suspended in 1957 and re-instated this spring, holding a good margin of play over the 1958 eastern champion Wel- lands. Bob Allan counted four for the win- ners, Paul Parnell three, Bud Me- Dougall and Larry Ferguson hit for two each and singles went to Lou Doing Nickle and. Roy Wood. For the losers Ron Roy scored a pair, Ted Howe, Jim McMahone and Mike D'Amico singles. UXBRIDGE BLOOD CLINIC AMONG BEST What has been termed by one offi- cial as one of the most successful blood clinics ever to be held in a town this size, is the reputation given Ux- bridge as a result of the Red Cross clinic held here on Friday. 285 per- sons turned up at Trinity United Church as donors and the clinic went as smoothly as clockwork. This number exceeds that expected in the first clinic to be held in: peace time and bespeaks well for the people of the district. Donors came from Port Perry, Sun- derland, the four townships and the town and the (Red Cross executive are more than pleased with the fine res- ponse, BOWMANVILLE'S TAX ARREARS--$80,110.00 Bowmanville's town council is hot on the trail of $80,110.00. This sizeable amount represents tax arrears which in some cases have- n't been fully paid up since 1048, Most arrears are for the period 1956-68. Last week, Clerk Robert Reynols| had the unenviable task of sending ra ther stern letters to those who have- n't paid. To date, no information has been released on how effective the requests for payment were. The $80,000, if paid this year, could, mean a reduction in taxes of some- thing over 10 mills, provided, of course, other expenses did not in- crease. This is believed to. be the first con- certed effort at tax collecting in sev- eral years and it is understood coun- cil intends to follow through with ac- tion on those who pay no attention to the clerk's letter asking for pay- ment. Methods which could be used to for- ce collection include recoyery of taxes by action in the courts, a comparative- Clipped Comments A CURFEW, NOT THE ANSWER Stouffville Village Police Chief, Frank Edwards, has made a formal request to Council that a midnight curfew be imposed on all restaurants in town. The Chief's suggestion was made "to help end hooliganism in Stouffville", Council declined to take any immediate action on the request. Although we feel that Chief Ed- ward's action on the matter is sincere and may even have some merit, we contend that other methods should be employed to quell Main Street rowdy- ism. A three-point program should be instituted which would include the restaurant operator, the police and the council. If co-operation is lack: ing from the former, then the police must take rational, but firm steps to contral the situation. The licensing of such establishments is in the hands of council. It should not hesitate to act if the matter warrants such a move on its part. It is likely that the identity of the trouble-makers is common knowledge both to the operators and the police. It is also true that every town and village in the Province is plagued by such a problem. Barring such pat- rons from their premises is the usual practice. If the owner fails to recog- nize the urgency for such action then it becomes a matter of law enforce- ment. It is regrettable that a half-dozen "kids" should be responsible for the recent bad publicity that has been di- rected at Stouffville. It is a matter of serious concern for every business- man and parent. We feel, however, that a council-approved' curfew would only worsen the situation. - --Stouffville Tribune. CBC NEWS PLAN WOULD ADD TO COSTS, DANGER "J. W. Pickersgill, the boy wonder from the prairies who became a salty Newfoundlander when he was drafted {rom the civil service into the Liberal party, is not one of our favorite poli- ticians., But we agreed wholeheart- i edly with him this week when he told . CBC vice-president E. L. Bushnell that I'he had "grave misgivings" about a "plan under consideration by the CBC to have its own reporters in Ottawa to cover capital news. Mr. Pickersgill put the case against + the CBC plan very neatly. He noted that in the 'past the CBC had prided itself on getting its news from news services and keeping itself out of "thus quite dangerous field" of re- porting the news. The Canadian Press, a co-operative news-gathering 1 organization, provided "an excellent news service", he pointed, and added: "For the preservation of the political independence of the CBC it would be very much better not to enter this field and not to duplicate this expen- diture". He had "grave ' doubts' whether the public would get value from the CBC's expenditure when The Canadian Press and other news agen- cies were doing a comptent job. Mr. Pickersgill was on firm ground. The CBC is a crown corporation, and its estabilshment of its own news a- gency would not only lay it open to charges of political bias but would in fact provide an unscrupulous govern- ment with a ready-made propaganda ly easy and not too costly method for; 4 nent. the municipality to follow. The town can also collect by what' is called the 'distress" procedure. This method involves seizure of the personal property of the taxpayers in- cluding goods and chattels and also rent owing to the taxpayer where the lands and premises subject to arrears are rented. The third method which has been found to be efefctive is the sale of land for taxes, Some years ago, this method was almost standard proce- dure, but has not been used here re- cently. Taxes must be in arrears for three years before this method may be used. -y . SL a A A Sn Lattin as 5H ip A i There is reason to believe that at least some CBC officials would dearly love to give their corporation its own news service, not merely in Ottawa but right across the country. The { Ottawa plan could be considered the first step. These people do not care about costs--the poor old taxpayer al- ways has a little more in his pocket-- even though the CBC is costing the country $40 million-now and will cost ,a lot more in the near future unless someone puts a curb on its ambitious schemes. The getting up of a news-gathering organization is an extremely expen- sive bit of business. Newspapers i know this from costly experience--and newspapers must watch their costs much more closely than the CBC, which makes up its deficits from pub~ lic funds. The CBC could scarcely be described as being cost-conscious. In most cases it loses money even on its { commercially - sponsored television programs, according to Mr. Bush- 'nell's testimony this week before the Commons broadcasting committee. In one show the CBC received only $7,- 947 from the sponsor of a produc- tion that cost $22,100, and in another case it received only $12,607 for a show that cost $21,983--which means that the taxpayers are subsidizing the CBC's TV advertisers. If this sort of thing goes on in so- called commercial TV, one's imagina- tion boggles at the thought of what a CBC news-gathering service would cost, g | id TI0KYO HONG KONG THAWAL = ANTIPODES = 5 1 \ VANCOUVER ~ << -- STIS S AMERICA NEW CANADIAN AIR SERVICE: On of Canadian Pacific Airlines new 400 m.p.h.

Everything seems so much more hopeful when the sun shines into the morning. Monday has dawned bright and fair, with the promise of a real summer's day. It matters so much, the atmosphere in which we make our decisions. The best time is in the morning, when the sun shines, and the world of nature is alive. There are many interesting events of last week which are worth record- ing. Scugog Grace W.A. had a mar- velous "At Home" Wednesday after- noon. There must have been at least one hundred ladies present. We are real proud of our president June Crozier for the friendly atmosphere, fin which the program was carried out. |Our three guest speakers were Mrs. { Wright, Mrs. T. Jackson, and Mis. Allen Martyn. Mrs. Jackson had come to the Island as a young teacher, and took office in the first W.A. Group formed sixty years ago. As is cus- tomary in rural areas; she soon be- came the bride of one of the local boys. Mrs. Jackson was just bubbling over with humour. Murs. Wiight had been the wife of Rev. Cook, and had served the island, and so able to bring that personal touch which we all enjoyed. Fven though she is living in Prince Albert, we keep on thinking of Cath- erine Martyn as belonging to us. Murs. Maurice Fralick gave a history of the W.A. and presentations were made to Mrs. Burnham, Mrs. J. Demara, Mrs. C. L. Fralick and Mrs. Robert Prentice. Full particulars will be given later. On Wednesday evening the Cub Mothers gathered at the home of the Witherspoons of Manchester to elect their new executive and to honour our Cub and Scout Leaders. A very en joyable social time was spent. Jean Holtby read the following letter ad- dressed to Allen and Catherine Mar- tyh, Jack Witherspoon, and Rev. Mr, Braham: "For the past two years our boys have enjoyed the training and good clean fun that go with Cubbing and Scouting, and all this is due to the kindness and generousiny of vou, thei leaders. Your kindness is evident in the pleasure our boys derive from the Tuesday meetings, and various outing 'i- and we parents can appreciate your | generosity with your time. Iach of you already had a busy schedule, but | managed to crowd one more task into it. 1 expect there are times when you | must wonder if we appreciate all vou do for our boys, but we surely do. Per: haps we never go farther than to dix- | cuss it among ourselves; but to-night | we want to take that second step and | and tell you how very grateful we are. These little gifts can only express om gratitude in a very small wav; but our heartfelt thanks go with them. May God bless you. Signed on behalf of the parents: Jean [HHolthy." Rev. Mr | Braham received a belt with Cub in signia on the buckle: Jack Wither spoon cuff links: Allen Martyn a wal- let; and Catherine Martyn a utility bag with flash light.
