three per cent of gross sales hence to make ithe deal profitable a merchant must be abje to boost his total sales volume by 25 per cent or be prepared to hike prices to cover the extra cost of stamps if he is unable to meet either of these conditions then the stamp plan is merely added cost that the merchant himself must absorb that being the case then the merchant serving a limited territory and facing keen competition may find that instead of rejuven ating his business the trading stamp plan has brought him a lot of trouble finally warns this report like the hunter with the tiger by the tail it is difficult for a merchant to drop stamp plans once they are started thursday november mffjgj a worthy activity safety need project result with the completion of the towns paving program approaching there seems to have been little but commendation of the project undoubtedly the improved rdatl system leads to better driving and less wear and tear on the vehicles that use the local streets roads and road conditions have been a problem of municipalities since the wheel was developed we imagine the speed with which the wheel revolv es has been a problem that can be attributed to the improvements in travel no doubt the speed at which wheels on acton streets will revolve will be increased considerably by the new pavement parents will have to exercise more care in keeping children off streets just as motor ists will have to subdue the urge to travel at maximum speed on the new pavement the erection of signs urging safety will have little effect if motorists do not exercise proper care in watching for children simil arly if parents dont keep closer watch on children a low accident rate may get higher the improvement of the towns road system has evoked a surprising number of favorable comments it would seem that of ten municipal projects garner their share of criticism and praise but so far we havent heard any serious objections to the road pav ing program the urgency of safety following the pro gram is the most direct outgrowth of the pro ject however picture indeed confused now they sail and now they dont per haps that might sum up the situation of con fusion that has existed in reports of the mid dle east crisis the sailing of course refers to the onagain offagain plans for canadian troops to go to the middle east as part of the un police force the thousands of words that have been written on this crisis that can quite easily develop into a third world war have not cleared the picture for the onthestreet ob server like ourselves if the heads of countries become a little crusty with the constant barrage of questions poured at them by reports we can under stand just as we can understand the job of the newsman in reporting every event to an anxious people it does however become increasingly clear to us that britain arid france acted wise- thai ly although the wisdom of armed interven tion is always open to challenge it does seem however that the armed interven tion far more effectively than words at the un prevented a buildup in the rtuddle east that would have resulted in the annihilation of israel it would also have ignited the tin der of world opinion that could haveexplod ed into world war iii it has how been revealed that the arms and vehicles captured in the israel advances were far greater than had been anticipated and the only thing lacking seemed to be the men to operate it all it would seem most unreasonable to com pare the englishfrench position with that of russia in hungary the problem there was not one of threatened annihilation but one ot a desire for freedom from the position of subservience that has been forced on them as a sattelite the world confusion is indeed confused it is not possible for us to determine the wis dom of all the present moves from all the flood of words poured at us over the radio and through the daily press it might however be a time to look at our local civil defense organization it is the men who take the time out from their leisure hours that give the youngsters of the community an opportunity to play hoc key it is a wellknown fact that the majority of hockey stars playing in the big leagues come from the smaller communities it is the same smoh communities with men working hard and lonja hours that are giving these young hopefuls their big chancegeraldton ont times star the annual interest in public speaking and debating generated through the schools as well as through the junior farmer organ ization is an effort of considerable merit there are many indeed who certainly do not welcome an opportunity to startdon their feet and thank a speaker or introduce one faced with an audience even though they are all personal friends there is always a cold shiver when one has to stand and speak certainly in this age where expression of opinion is of such vital concern public speak ing is a necessary study naturally some excel at it while others continue through life with that cold shiver that runs up and down the back when they are called on the training young people get through the school contests and junior farmer contest can not help but be beneficial in later years when they may be called on to accept posi tions of responsibility in various organiza tions probably more hours are wasted at meetings in a year through inability to ex press oneself adequately than for any other reason for that reason itself the activities of these groups in fostering public speaking and debating are indeed commendable emim bsfis vtmbt- the good old days back in 1936 back in 1906 photo by em her taylu and indians chronicles of gin farm young old enjoy santas parade county committee wise the formation of a county committee on who are the real children tho youngsters or tho grownups sometimes we wonder take the santa clans parade wity arc mo thers and fathers yes and even grandparents so willing to take youngsters to watch the parade that heralds santa clans entry in to town why indeed unless it is planning with representatives from each municipality in the county is a wise one its wisdom will be proven however only when cooperation on the part of all municipalities has been indicated planning and zoning are not things that can adequately be handled simply within a municipalitys boundaries it is essential that the boundary line not become a kind of high board fence beyond which no one is par ticularly interested not only is it imperative that planning be well integrated between municipalities but it is just as important that some spirit of co operation exist in the planning for the mutual benefit of all towns and townships the decision not to hire a planning con sultant for the county group is based mainly on the fact that each municipality already is paying well for their consultants and the ad ded expense would not seem justified on this point we can agree since the problem as set out becomes one of cooperation between neighboring representatives and that is some thing no consultant can alter no doubt some areas will hesitate to be gin planning sivice it cannot be done without some expense in most cases where plan ning has been in action for some time the reaction has been that money could have been saved if it had been started earlier rath er than wail for development to force its consideration a surprising number of people want a home in the country and in some cases this can lead to complications establishment of a number of houses in rural areas can lead to school fire protection and other administrat ive problems with halton one of the most rapidly de veloping counties in the niagara peninsula it is imperative that county planning establish firm channels for consideration of mutual boundary problems but cooperation is the only way brief comment admitting that the danger of inflation which the rise in the bank rate was meant to alleviate is present in some areas officialdom now must face the problem of whether this particular cure is not worse than the disease it must also consider some other antiinfla tionary measure might better achieve the de sired result campbellton nb tribune one reason that makes winter so objec tionable to many people is that they spend all fall worrying about it to follow the ad vice of one person who has overcorne this objection and now enjoys all seasons is very simple and effective this person simply dresses warm when it is cold and cool when if is warm rainy river ont record that kiddies and grown ups toooo enjoy equally well alt the fun and excitement of the big v- enl even if it is only possible to watch it on television you find just as many oldsters u as young sters among the viewers i must admit partner and i are among those who share in the fun saturday morning for instance we dropped our work and spent part of the morning watching eat ons annual santa claus parade- for the children there is all the excitement and fan fare but i really think it takes an adult to appreciate the beauty the pageant ry and the ingenuity that makes the parade what it is and what a wonderful touch of fun and fantasy it brings into our everyday world a world which of late has brought little but anxiety and distrust to the minds of men particularly to those who remem ber the pattern that preceded two former world wars we must perforce carry on with our daily work but we certainly welcome any distraction that takes us out of ourselves and makes us feel gay and carefree for awhile what a dull world it would be if we lacked the power of enjoyment imagine seeing a beautiful sunset a painting or children at play and yet not have tho awareness to en joy any of it or imagine living on a farm and only able to think of the work involved actually every season has its work and its pleasure on most farms at present there is the usual activity livestock that has been free as the wind all sum mcr must now be driven or cajoled to the shelter of the barnyard so they may be shut in at night stumld the weather get rough but cattle are peculiar creatures they resent sudden changes they balk at being tied up in strange stalls and will do everything but stand quietly while confining chains are slipped into place but once that has been done even a young heifer becomes as tractable as an old cow apparently she rec ognises her boss and the next day she puts up no resistance at all unless she has been illtreated a beast that has been beaten in to submission is liable to give trouble for some time that hap pily seldom happens on canadian farms today almost every farmer loves his livestock particularly his cattle and horses if he has them he may call them ornery creatur es and make other uncomplim entary remarks but just let one of them get sick and the farmer will forego a nights rest to keep watch over his sick animals at any time and yet neither the farmer nor his family can afford to get overly sentimental about the livestock be cause the time inevitably comes when age or barnroom makes it necessary for some of the stock to be sold that is the situation we ire faced with this morning at this very moment a truck is down i at the barn loading cattle all of whom partner has raised from heifer calves born right here on the farm we hale to think of them ending their lives at the stocft- vards
