presumably getting things in readiness to spend that 15000 which the reeve has been informed is earmarked and set aside to be spent on this highway this summer the bulk of the money will probably provide a tarvia top as far north the railway track almost every day some one is en quiring at the newspaper office as to where they can obtain a house or an apartment in stouffville for rent the places are now all fairly well filled up and for some long time there has not been a modern place available if a dozen uptodate homes were erected they would rent very quickly and provide a very fair investment the situation locally is in sharp contrast to some places we have information on where there are too many vacant houses and property values stag nant for a town of its size and import ance stouffville is poorly publicized on the highways and over the im mediate district we have taken notice that stouffville signs are lacking in various places north of the town in the uxbridge district north and south of that place dir ection signs such as are put up by the ontario motor league are a won derful advertisement for any comm unity it creates in the mind of the motorist an urge to see the place if he is constantly confronted with the name to say nothing of the great convenience to strangers who are unaquainted with direction in the locality they are passing through irrespective of what it says in the scriptures about hiding your light under a bushel the village council or some other body should make it their business to tack up a few signs to replace those that have been bro

readers about a new kind of swindle which had been pulled off in this or that town and now it looks like our own people have been victimized once more a few weeks ago a chap called at local homes soliciting orders tor neckties better and cheaper of course than the lueal merchant could provide and from reports coming in he certainly cap tured the business strange to say in almost every instance thesoliciting agent collected for the ties in ad vance what is not strange is th fact that he never returned with the neckware and is still patiently awaited a search of the telephone directory does not reveal any inch firm name as was printed on the receipt form issued for the ties this swindle was more pronounced than that worked by a canvasser the week previous a chap went from door to door selling doughunts and when the housewife informed the salesman that they preferred to buy from the local baker he argued that if he could sell so many dough nuts that day he was in line for a real job with his firm the trick in variably worked for the housewife bought out of sympathy but when such an argument was given serious thought later it was believed to be a fake presentation aside from that pastry bought at the door this way may be made under unsanitary conditions in fact if the purchaser could see the inside of the premises from which the pastry came they might not accept it as a gift from every angle it is safer to transact business only with those you know or those who are regularly establish ed and are available to make good in case the goods purchased are not what they should bo know your town is a very good motto but we have to confess that we have lived in stouffville for 15 years only to learn last week that there are two streets here named frederick and manitoba according to the village plan how many read ers know where they are located ni even know what part of the village they are in both frederick and manitoba are off church street frederick is one street north of warriner street which is the corner on which mrs s m warriner lives on north church while manitoba runs east off church in the same locality probably many other citi zens are not conversant with fred erick and imanitoba streets and for this reason we call attention to the matter there has been no develop ment on these streets but they loom quite important on the village sur veyors plan stouffville lost a highly esteemed family last week when mr and mrs harold a sanders with their two children moved to weston where they have taken up residence at 59 john street since his appointment as assistant county crown attorney mr sanders has had to relenquish his law office in stouffville to de vote his whole time to the work of the crown which necessitates him being in toronto daily during week days both mr and mrs sanders have taken an active part in church work the former being secretary of the official board which will make their absence more keenly felt it is however a matter of satisfaction to know that they are not leaving the county and in these days of rapid transport are but a few minutes from the old home town cash for old gold this week will be old gold week at h
