tomorrow evening friday is nomination night in stouffville and it behoves the ratepayers to turn out to the public meeting in the municipal hall the lack of interest in municipal affairs is deplorable it should not be left to half a dozen councillors year m and year out and who are apt to become rusty with long service there are interest ing and important developments for stouffville just ahead and ratepayers should learn the views of wouldbe office seekerson these issues since there will be some new faces on the council next year come out and help nominate a good slate so that the choice will not be restricted to those few who slip in un opposed we all believe in the democratic system and in so doing there is not room for the man who says he wouldnt have anything to do with the matters of municipal councils or school boards whether you feel qualified to serve or not may be one matter but everybody should feel it their duty to help choose held the position of under secretary for foreign affairs recently he has been the centre of stormy debates and his book sums up his life time of diplomatic service and in it he tells how britain and america allowed themselves to be fooled by germany in which his words are theatrically the wolfs makeup as little red biding hoods grand mother was never convincing and we may wonder how so transparent a wolf got away for five minutes the author does not go into details of this childs story but the similitude is obvious after the last great war germany posed as the sick grandmother and like little red riding hood the british and the americans took pity on her and brought food and all kinds of nice things for her recovery what big eyes youve got and what big ears youve got the better to spy and eaves drop on you replied the grandmother but what big teeth youve got what do you want with this big army and all this military equipment this was the final ques tion at which the wolf threw off his disguise and shouted the better to eat you with that in brief is the story of what lord vansittart describes as the greatest swindle in the world noth ing like it he says has ever been perpetrated in history or fiction the way the germans gotaway with their deception than a fairy story town planning x the town of barrie has increased the size of its chamber of commerce to 300 members and everybody on it is pledged to promote a town planning scheme many other towns are formulating plans for development of their respective places stouffville should not lag behind in this idea this community needs not only a public hall but more paved streets beginning with obrien ave- and church street obrien avenue for instance could be made a much more inviting thprofare than it is if properly graded and laid with a tarvia top it is one of the best revenue producers from a tax standpoint and ought to have early consideration instead of the patchwork of former years tarvia is not more ex pensive over a period of years than gravel and by doing a street at a time with frontage charges these main thoro- fares could well be put in the condition they ought to be in with the same road expenditures we are now making it is such planning as this that a lions club or chamber of commerce or some other service organization can le useful in promoting little red riding hood a challenging book written by lord vansittart en titled lessons of my life is drawing a good deal of com ment at this time the author was for thirty years a civil servant in the british foreign office and for many years make do do without mr donald gordon of the wartime prices and trade board warns that even though the war situation looks brighter we must still curb our spending and do without to our forefathers this was an artjhat needed no war to instill here is a description of furniture given by a pioneer himself a bedstead roughly hewn out with a fellingaxe the sides posts and ends held together in screeching trep- idation by strips of basswood bark a table that might be taken for a victuallers chopping block four or five bench es of the same rude mechanism and what of the house into which they put such furni ture it was made of logs fourteen to sixteen feet long notched at the corners sufficiently deely to hold firm and not leave too much space between to be filled with mud and moss or wedgeshaped bits of wooclin one of these four walls a doorway was cut in which they could hang a blan ket if they had one or an animal skin as for the roof this might be made of elm bark since they had no nails the pieces of bark were tied with withes to polerafters dont run away with the idea that the pioneers were content with this rugged discomfort one of the house wifes greatest ambitions was to possess an iron cooking- stove so that she could give up cooking at the open fire place the smoke by way might go forth through a hole in the roof that is if they had no clay or stone io make a fireplace with chimney and what did they use for sweeping the floor a cedar or hemlock broom made by tying a flat bundle of boughs to a handle and trimmed broomshape with an axe or for stronger work such as cleaning the rough wooden floor they made a splint broom of green hickory splintering one end with a knife if you are interested in seeing how the sturdy pioneers began life in ontario and how they gradually progressed and added to their comforts by their own efforts see the models illustrating pioneer life now in the royal ontario museum why the ixax succeeded canadas seventh and greatest victory loan went soaring over the top because canadians on the aver age chipped in about 2000 more per person than in the previous sixth loan says the financial post final figures forthe loan are ex pected to hit the 15 billif ns jack pot of this total probably 725 to 750 millions will come from small individual cash applications to the two factors realization oh the part of mr and mrs average can adian that the war was far from won secondly the tremendous cumulative effect of systematic sav ing by the rank and file of the people and one very important fact victory loan campaigns have been kept scrupulously away from politics- the cabinet crisis didnt seem to phiz on the loan organ ization as far as could be deter mined perhaps it came too late anyhow it didnt seem to matter- already the national war finance committee is planning ahead for the eighth loan adds the post business directory dental serve the heart of the lesson ever since the fall god has de creed that man shall earn his bread by toil either with his hands or with his brain the christian should readily see the wisdom of this realizing that honest work is in itself a safeguard against the many temptations that beset man kind he will not be disposed to quarrel with the declaration that if a man will not work neither shall he eat whether he be owner or manager of a business- or of some agricultural project or an artisan or mechanic an office helper or a labourer he is required to be conscientious in his service doing all as unto the lord this insuies a care for the rights of his fellows and will keep him from overreaching or underpaying those m dependent positions sunday school lesson lesson for nov 26th golden text let him that stole steal no more but rather let him labour working with his hands the thing which is good that he may have to give to him that ncedeth eph 428 the lesson as a whole approach to the lesson as christian principles have per meated the nations the whole in dustrial and economic life has felt their impact gradually leading to an evsrdeepening recognition of the relative rights of employers and employed until today it is al v most impossible to conceive of such conditions being tolerated in any nation as prevailed in the roman empire when the books of the new testament were written every great reform movement hav ing in its objective the improve ment of labour has been originat- ed by men who have drawn either consciously or unconsciously from the teaching of christ and his immediate followers even where leaders personally have ignored or opposed the gospel plan they have paid homage to what they are plea sed to call the social teachings of jesus karl marx may decry christ ianity and declare that religion is the opiate of the people- because of its tendency to make them con tented and happy even under ad verse circumstances yet he and his followers have drawn in large measure from the principles enun ciated in the sermon on the mount as they have endeavored to put before mankind what they thought of as an ideal social condition of life where the gospel is believed and the christian program acually accepted employers become con siderate of those who work for them and employees give conscien tious and adequate service in re turn forwages received the bible and particularly the new testa- mentever recognizes the relation ship of what we call capital and labor and never hints at the neces- sityof overthrowing this order but rather regulates according to the law of love and principles of righteousness if men are rich they areto hold their wealth as subject f no godhimself and to use it for ciqhisfglory and the relief of those g3fgindistress if men are dependent ontheir owntoil for daily bread they are to be honest and faithful tin meeting their obligations the historical setting the book of deuteronomy from ft which the first part of this lesson is drawn was wntten by moses fif teen hundred years before christ the gospel of luke and the book of acts were both written by luke as their opening verses make plain luke the beloved physician a companion of paul for a number of years paul himself wrote the thessaloman letters shortly after the founding of the church td which they are addressed verse by verse luke 1915 he commanded these servants to be called that he might knw how much every man had gained by trading 3vhile this parable has to do especially with the return of our lord to reward his servants it neverthe less suggests or recognizes the rightfulness of earning money by legitimate business ventures these servants were responsible to use what had been entrusted to them as honest stewards who had the owners interests in view v verse 16 lord thy pound hath gained ten poundsby wise and careful investment the first servant had made an excellent profit on what had been committed to him verse 17 thou hast been faith ful in a very little his integrity and trustworthiness was recogniz ed by the master and he was re- ful servants will be compensated at his return for all they have ac complished for him in his absence verse 18 lord thy pound hath gained five pounds all have not the same business acumen nor the same talents and abilities but this man too had acted wisely and with concern for his masters in terests verse 19 be thou also over five cities the reward was not so great as in the other case but it was in proportion to the gain that had resulted from the serv ants business activities verse 20 here is thy pound which i have kept laid up in a napkin it was an inexcusable fault thus to have failed in the trust committed to him not real izing that it is required in stew ards that a man be found faithful yet how many christians are fail ing in the same way not using that which god has entrusted to them clean straightforward bus iness methods are as important in the lords week as in secular af fairs verse 21 feared thee because thou art an austere man if the servant really believed this it was all the more reason why he should have been diligent in business in order that he might have pleased warded accordingly this of course the one who employed him suggests the way christs faithl verses 22 23 out of thine own the old home town afttr u j fit omet by stanley mouth will i judge thee thou wicked servant sternly the mast er rebuked the slothfulness of his servant pointing out that if he feared to make any investments he might at least have placed the money where it would have drawn interest and thus not have stood idle it is a salutary lesson in the right use of capital which god has put in our hands and the spiritual lesson is even clearer we shall be held responsible not alonefor our acts of evil but for sins of omission also verse 24 take fiom him the pound that which is not used will profit nothing rather shall we suffer loss whereas they who wisely use what they have will be further rewarded verses 2526 unto every one which hath shall be given and from him that hath not even that which he hath shall be taken a- way the first half of the verse is clear enough and requires no comment the latter part may be better understood if we paraphrase slightly so that it would read from him who hath not used that which was entrusted to himeven that itself shall be taken opportun ities neglected are lost forever 2 thess 310 if any would not work neither should he eat there is no excuse for laziness in this strenuous life of ours he who de liberately refuses to labor has no right to enjoy the fruit of the of others voluntary pauperism is obnoxious to god and opposed to the principles of christian ethics verse 11 there are some which walk among you disorderly work ing not at all but are busybodies evidently here were those in the thessalonian church who were obsessed with the idea that since the lords return is ever imminent it was useless to work for daily sustenance they preferred to be supported by their brethren who were in better circumstances than themselves such demonstrated the truth of the saying satan finds some mischief still for idle hands to do living careless idle lives they become thoughtless in speech and were troublemakers as they went from one home to another expressing themselves with undue freedom verse 12 we command that with quietness thay work and eat their own bread god has ordain ed that- man should live by labor to attempt to go through this world as a parasite subsisting on that which others have earned is to bring dishonor upon the name of the christ whom they profess to stouffville floral roses wedding bouquets i funeral
