stouffville ontario thursday august 4th 1938 ty imtffmll ribun established 1888 a member of the canadian weekly newspaper association issued every thursday at stouffville ontario subscription rates per year in advance in canada 200 in usa s250 a v nolan jp editor and publisher notes and comments every farmer is affected bowmanville statesman ontario farmers are up in arms and very rightly so at the discrimination shown by the canadian railways to ward foreign wheat being shipped through this province at rates far below those paid by the ontario farmer who exports his wheat it is perhaps not generally know i that canadian railways haul argentine and south african corn from montreal to western ontario points for 13c per hundred pounds while the ontario farmer must pay for shipment of his wheat corn or wheat products as the rate of 21c per hundred pounds to montreal this discrimina tion of more than 50 per cent when the same rolling stock and same rails are used is not only unfair but is decidedly depressing to the farmer it means in reality that he must pay this added rate out of the price of his wheat and is then expected to compete in world markets it also means that the ontario fanner who exports wheat even if in directly is helping to sustain the fanner of the argentine and of south africa this reciprocity might be a good thing if it did not hit the ontario fanners pocket to the extent that he must find it difficult to carry on it apparently is not the governments duty to set railway rates but rather the duty of the dominion railway board considerable pressure however can be made on the board by the united action of farmers through approaching their federal member the fanner who believes he is not interested is only fooling himself every fanner who has grain to sell is interested he does not know whether the grain he sells to a dealer is to be exported or not but one thing is certain that as long as the dealers and exporters are faced with this unfair competition the farmer even if his grain is not exported is going to suffer to the extent of several cents on every bushel as a result of this the differ ence in these freight rates is 5 cents per bushel which means on an ontario crop of 20 million bushels a direct loss of one million dollars to the ontario farmers every farmer if he values his own living should pet ition the department of agriculture the federal and pro vincial members insisting that they demand of the rail ways an end to this unfair discrimination against the on tario farmer should i have an xray it is quite evident that many persons have the idea that in almost every condition from which the human body suffers an xray examination is required to enable the doctor to understand the case it is also apparent that there exists a popular idea that by means of the xray the physician can see all parts of the inside of the body and study their action just as clearly and simply as he views the skin with his eyes the majority of those who enter a doctors office whether becausethey are ill or because they want to keep well can be examined thoroughly and satisfactorily by the doctors using such instruments as are found in any proper ly equipped office and making such tests as can be made with his ordinary equipment by any qualified physician when the ordinary procedures are inadequate for a particular case and when the doctor believes that certain special examinations or tests will be of assistance he will not hesitate to so inform his patient the public should understand that in any case a diagnosis of disease is not made by special tests xray or other examination what these do is to supply additional information which the doctor considers together with the other facts which he has gathered from his questioning of the patient and the result of the examination which he himself has made physi cians do not make a diagnosis on one symptom or one test or on what is shown by an xray but upon the accumulation of all the findings the xray is in many conditions a most valuable aid b p k h increased its field of usefulness but it still has certain limitations and its use and the interpre tation of its findngs are not as simple as is commonly thought it seems necessary to refer to this because it is apparent that some persons rather feel they have been cheated when their physician does not order them to have an xray physicians know when special tests and examina tions are needed and they will use them when they judge them to be necessary wheat markets our big need y vs 1 of the pen

friends june does it seem possible and i have passed six happy months here alone having come in november last year but with the break of one month in kian during christmas and the new year and so i thought i would give this letter to a more de tailed account of the work here ta kai ticn men and so the words greet us as we go to the prison on sunday after noons about 200 open heavens gate and they are followed with and you must all come to hear so the doors of the inner prison are opened and all who wish to come may and assemble in the main room where we are all locked in together the reason for the rather unusual state ment at the beginning is due to the fact that the hymn there is a gate that stands ajar was one of the favourites of the pastors and used almost every sunday there the lord has certainly been blessing this work and we praise him for the 30 or 40 who gather every sun day some who can read and are more interested have been given gospel portions about 20 and so now the pastor is taking up matthew with them please pray definitely for this work when asked whether they want to be lieve and do believe they all say iao want may they really know what it is to be loosed though bound the wounded soldiers hos pital work is at a stand still at present due to the fact of the old batch of soldiers having re turned to the front but they are expecting more to come here from there shortly there is also the difficulty of not being able to find a suitable time to visit them sometimes going there only to find that they are all out somewhere none of them are confined to their beds we are hoping that some definite time can be assigned to us every week and then all who are interested will know that at that time we will be there and they can hear please pray for this and also for the several hundred who have passed through the hospital here and have heard something of the gospel either by mouth or print ed word praise god for one or two of the doctors who are real ly keen we are certainly looking for ward to mr and mrs brown coming here tc take up the work they are being married this wednesday in hankow and then after a short time on rul ing will be coming here to take charge oh sunday mornings the womens side of the church is almost full with a good num ber of the better class amongst them and at present this work is just waiting for someone to come and take charge on tuesday and friday even ings we have rebegun meetings in the christians homes in the different parts of the city and thus in this way hope to be able to reach more people in the city here do pray that the lord may use this small effort for the saving of souls to his glory wednesday is bible reading night with the pastor leading and saturday is prayer meeting night we wish more would come and join us on these two nights and will be looking to you for help by prayer previously this year we have had a praise ser vice on sunday night but with are beginning interest may this continue and grow now you will know a little clearer how the work is divided up and i trust will be able to pray more definitely for each phase of it and we know your prayers will be answered
