for instance is not a bad idea now the germans are stepping tor- ward with educational plans of merit the minister of education of that country has just issued an order which have farreaching effects it is something quite revolutionary but its effect on the future of the german race ought to be quite marked the latest order of the education al chief is that german girls who do not know how to cook will not be admitted to college or universities after the spring of 1937 10year old girl students must pass an examina tion in the fundamental duties of housewives before being allowed to proceed to institutions of higher learning and their mothers musz be their teachers what a relief this will he to the young men of germany who five or six years from now are looking for wives they will be able to make their selection from college or uni versity graduates with perfect as surance secure in the knowledge that added to a university education will be thorough training in the essentials of

oconnor toronto candy manufacturer and owner of exten sive farm acreage at wexford was appointed to the canadian senate last week to succeed the hon chas murphy deceased the new job carries a life salary of 6000 per annum hence mr oconnor will not have any worries about the future should he lose the millions which are now in his possession senator oconuo will represent the irish roman catholics in ontario he was the first appoint ment to the senate by the new king government and there are no more vacancies mr oconnor was iu ottawa last week when the an nouncement was made public but it came as no surprise as his name had been prominently mentioned for some time not long ago the ontario govern ment created some surprise when they appointed mr oconnor to the job of road commissioner on the toronto and york road com mission there is about 1000 per year in this for mr oconnor and because of the small emolument the appointment could never have been made for the sake of putting an extra thousand in his way thus the wonderment and surprise at the appointment it is only to be ex pected that senator oconnor will now resign from the commission which would be more properly represented by one of the members from the county of york sitting in the ontario legislature qjjl for the whole family radio communications do your 1 christmas shopping 1 at shaws christmas shopping with christmas

his signature to the petition but claims he was not aware that a bylaw would be re quested of the council this is rather hard to understand as the matter was fully discussed with some merchants a few days previous- and with others im mediately preceding the signing and in addition it clearly stated on the petition in a special clause that a request would be made of the council for a bylaw in support of the rules contained in the petition are we to understand that this person would sign what is termed a gentlemans agreement to close up during certain hours and then hang around to take advantage of his compeitor who adhers to the agreement it is on account of such taetics that towns have to adopt a bylaw i have my own opinion of persons who sign a petition then rush into print to do the opposite the main contention of fair play another writer last week is that ibig business should hold sway over smaller businesses oh no mr fair play just turn around and play fair we are not living iu italy or germany where dictators flourish although it can be said of the latter that the law there is one of compulsion for a holiday one day in seven to be spent on sports and physical exercise we live in a country where democracy prevails and every oitizen regardless of his financial standing has a right to be properly represented i learn from several of the signers of the peti tion that they have suddenly be come aware of the importance of their business concerns and are wondering who this apparently self appointed judge as to the impor tance of business concerns is fair play slipped a little in stating that the chief boosters are noninvestors the two who circulated the petition are quite large investors in the mercantile business in stouffville in addition to other valuable property oh no mr fair play this country is just emerging from an overdose of big business principles no one is seeking to do any harm to ibusiness wo wish them every success and general welfare of busi- nss concerns and theirs staffs is the point in view as pointed out in the tribune two weeks ago the public today realize the fatal results of long hours in doors and will he reasonable in their attitude and they will wo feel play square no hardships arc intended to the public and no objection to emergency cases being taken care of some are endeavoring to trot out the big toad wolf in the way of penalty for selling after hours while certain hours are mentioned in tho statutes reasonable opportunity is allowed to dispose of pending business and only those who flagrantly disobey the law need have fear fair play mentions something about this village of peace and in tho next breath intimates civil action regardless of the wishes of the majority we wish it distinctly

stouffville ont phone 102 hepburn may stay i tggiggggggtsggggtgsg by the watchman toronto dec 10 there is a dis tinct possibility that premier hep burn will remain at the helm of the government and continue to render the calibre of service that brought the liberal party from the shades of opposition to the seat of power if the if is important there is no doubt that the premier must per manently retire from politics unless he is able to continue without en dangering his health if his cabinet colleagues are able to so lighten his burdens that he would be relieved of the burdensome detail which has al ways ibeen loaded on the leader of a government then he will continue to guide the destinies of the pro vince aud it goes without saying that his colleagues will move heaven and earth to keep him at queens park even though it would mean that he would not be at his desk more than two or three days a week premier hepburn would not be the first ontario premier to do this sir james whitney many years ago guided tho government from an advisory standpoint rather than an administrative one premier hep burn would be of even greater ser vice to the province were he relieved of many of his jdbs which can be done by departments under capable deputy ministers the premiers ex perience and knowledge his un-ler- standing and sagacity would he free and unhampered under these con ditions of comparative freedom the destruction of health is too heavy a price to pay for political position and the premier like a wise man is prepared to carry out his intention of resigning rather than aggravata his already injured health and find an early grave nothing is definite concerning the premiers future but his colleagues dismayed at the prospect of losing him are ready it is said to submit a plan to their chief along the lines outlined above what the premiers answer will be remains a secret in his own heart ontario needs the vitality and dynamic energy which he has in fused into the conduct of affairs opponents as well as supporters ad mit that he has reshaped political affairs to the advantage of ontario by the time this is in print the pre mier will have attended the inter- provincial conference at ottawa and further enhanced his reputation as a leader here is hews cobers radio sales and service store at hunters cabin burns announcing the opening of their new 1878
