the tribune stouffville ont thursday nov 11th 1943 5ie t0uffuiue urthunp established 1sss member of the canadian weekly newspaper association and ontario quebec newspapers association issued every thursday at stouffville ontario eight to twelve pases average paid circulation 1900 subscription kates per year in advance in canada 200 in usa 9250 a v nolan son publishers notes and comments strikes may cause real hardship nothing could better illustrate the present and pre carious position of the nations 194344 coal supply than the strike events of recent days says the financial post until mine workers went on strike in alberta b c and u s fields a few days ago canadian officials were beginning to breathe a little more easily and feel that prospects for 194344 were not too discouraging now the loss of tonnage in the canadian west and in the u s mines if it persists long enough upsets the bal ance and may cause real hardship in short the coal supply situation hangs this year on a precariously fine balance which may easily be topped one way or another depending on strikes severity of the winter transportation difficulties ottawa officials believe canada has never entered a winter when there was better coordination and organiza tion to meet the exigencies of a mounting wartime emerg ency demand for fuel not only have plans been laid with the greatest care to avoid or remove bottlenecks but it is thought that the public has been carefully prepared both for conservation and for action which will make the best possible use of what tonnage is available give the matter some consideration we note that towns with the best police protection are not immune night police can be trailed and the robbery committed whenhe is in the other part of the town and so the merchant that is wise will not depend too much on the night patrol the surest way to deal with these scoundrels and jackals in addition to maintaining a vigilant watch is to secure your store premises against entry merchants should bear in mind that only the modern stores built in very re cent years gave any thought to security against thieves and improvements therefore must be added to 95 per cent of the stores to make them more burglar proof windows in the rear of stores should be covered with heavy screen the weight of strong guard rail wire proper ly installed it is almost impossible for robbers to get by it unless they carry special tools which take time to work and are not noiseless y outer rear doors made from medium guage sheet or steel with hinges to the inside and strong hooks inside repel the aveiage burglai- for he cannot get by it with any hack saw such as is used on wooden doors these in stallations well planned are not expensive and will give the merchant a reasonable sense of security from rear door breakins which is the place of attack in eight out of ten cases many local stores we know of have improved locks on their front doors these will do much to retard a front- entrance breakin and if an electric alarm is attached the chances of repelling the robber is a great deal better the merchants cannot afford to sit back like the banks and let the robbers have full fling time to act on time farm groups in hans county n s are petitioning the government to revert to standard time again as soon as possible when you stop to think isnt it amazing that farm groups in ontario have remained silent on a question like this which so vitally affects farm life now that winter is approaching there is good reason for resuming standaid time until spring again shortly we will witness the spectacle of children starting off to school in the gray dawn and protest has been made both in towns and rural districts against this situation some boards even put the school on standard time for the winter to overcome the difficulty and while this is feasible in school sections where children all take their lunch it is not workable in places like stouffville dad coming in to dinner at one hour and the children at another just wouldnt suit anyway what is there to be gained by fast time in the winter the saving of electric current has pretty well been exploded so let the farm groups stir the powers at ottawa to give them back gods time for winter seasons rural merchant must plan against robbers rural business places in this district are suffering heavily again this fall from robberies committed by strang ers who come m cars and carry off the goods in the im mediate district 2500 in stolen merchandise has gone in the past few weeks fortunately for stouffville merchants they have not been singled out for assault yet but it could happen here and for that reason it might be well to the profit motive what shall it profit there is a lot of loose talk in these days about the profit motive socialists speak of it as if it were the original sin the fruit of that forbidden tree whose mortal taste brought death into this world and all our woe they tell us that we will never regain our lost para dise until we get rid of this satanically inspired profit motive indeed there may be something in that content ion for when one comes to think of it the motive that prompted our first parents to partake of the forbidden fruit was one of profit eve listened to the reptiles sales talk about the big dividends that would accrue from the investment but most of the socialists of my acquaintance dont believe the story of the garden of eden and those who do contend that it is a parable and that the fall of man was in reality a fall upward if that be the case then their argument against the profit motive resolves itself into a plea for mankinds return to primitive conditions on the same basis the capitalists could argue that the profit mo tive was the first incentive to mans progress it has un doubtedly been a powerful motive in the development of industry and the expansion of trade and commerce there would have been no such development without it when jesus asked what shall it profit a man if he should gain the whole world and lose his own soul he acknowledged the profit motive as a vital factor in religion as well as in secular affairshe was not condemning the profit motive but rather the abuse of it to the extent of making material gain the sole aim in life that the profit motive has been and is being abused in business there is no denying it has been the whole world to some people but with most business men what is called the profit motive is chiefly a matter of bookkeeping of making sure that their profits exceed their losses profit is essent ial to success in business for without profit the business must close down a weekly eb5toii looks at ottawa writttft tptaauy i r a whiv nmpopr of camb by jim oreenblat ottogossip the city of
