page two the tribune stouffville ont thursday oct 26th 1939 jj tmiffmu wxbnm established 1888 member of the canadian weekly newspaper association issued every thursday at stouffville ontario eight to ten pages average circulation 1375 subscription rates per yeari in advance in canada 200 in usa 9250 a v nolan jp editor and publisher editorial comment life has many strange mysteries the midland free press points out that a young woman with heavy re sponsibilities at home went to britain to bring home an aged relative whose state of health made her a burden when the athenia was torpedoed the young woman was drowned and the aged lady was saved an idea to work out an item from the winnipeg tribune which strikes first of all as a bit of joshing is perhaps worthy of more serious study it reprints a report from the montreal standard that a new sort of festival had been laid at devon new brunswick- a cooperative tonnage festival in which doctors and nurses and other assistants contributed their services and the womens institute supplied either gaze and other requisites and the town hose station was utilized as a hospital accomplishing the removal of 62 pairs of tonsils in two days the patients were children of the dev on district and all were reported doing wel at the close of the meeting it is a picture that conjures up a lot of ideas most of them on the lighter side but the tribune and with some reason takes the thing pretty seriously it is all in favor of introducing the festival note into tonsilectomy den tistry and so on and fees that in this way poor communi ties might be able to obtain services of expert physicians and surgeons whom they could not ordinarily hope to get church edifice used to fashion show it is never the function of this paper to criticize the church in all the fine work it is doing in this country of ours and through the mission organizations but a few days ago a tribune reader handed in to this office a clipping from the daily press which was impressive if not start ling the item carried the heading plan fashion show at simpson avenue united church one would think that the church had gone pretty far afied when it conducted fashion shows and permitted pictures of women displaying latest model costumes to appear in the papers under such a caption our friend a good churchman protested lodly and we thought his argument was not far astray if the church of god has to be used for fashion showg and resorts to this kind of thing which is all right in its proper place it is a visible sigh of weakness and one of the things which is hurting the church today we know that many churches of this denomination would not countenance fashion shows as a part of the church work indeed we doubt if any of them woud and we hope that in the instance referred to it may be shown that the church had only been rented or loaned for the purpose- however in a great city like toronto halls are very plenti ful and are the best place for sch secular undertakings the implication in the toronto paper certainty is bad and if not correct should have brought forth an explana tion leave it to the leaves dont burn them its wasteful to burn leaves they are now lying in millions about our gardens fields streets but conservation ists and agricultura chemists all say that burning them is just burning up nutrition for the soil which needs to be re stored to mother earth every autumn leaf mould is not alone a cosy comfortable blanket with which to cover flow erbeds lawns vegetable garden or fields it is natui own food to enrich the and when gathered this fall they should be put in neat piles in back yards moistened and weighted down so they wont blow away and in the course of time there will be a quantity of rich fertilizer that will make the land glad always remember that when leaves are burned there is a serious robbery of soil potentials and that wilful waste of it will eventually bring woef want which even chemical fertilizers wont entirely or half as satis factory provide now then having given our readers a bit of informa tion vouched for by agricultural professors we want to say that leaves are knee deep around the residence of the writer and they may be had by any of our neighbors who wishes to secure more of this food for the soil otherwise they are doomed to the bonfire cooperation among garage owners barrie garage owners have announced that all gai except one will be closed on sundays- a different garage wil remain open each sunday the purpose is that em ployees may be given a clay off each
