the tribune stouffville out thursday july 24 1947 lb touf futile rthunr established 1883 member of the canadian weekly newspaper assoctatoii and ontario quebec newspapers association member of the

publishers notes and comments planes fly too low privates aeroplanes ambling over stouffville on a sun day and at other times fly too low if anything happened the engine or engines there would be a mighty crash and from such a low altitude oftimes that the pilot would be powerless to guide his machine out of the path of buildings in other words if the engine failed the machine would drop what damage to property and life that could be caused may be well imagined and it all could be avoided if reason able action is taken now to stop low flying over towns and villages in ontario water bomb for vivian forest york countv reforestation committee have been pressing the dept of forest and mines for better and more adequate fire protection at the vivian forest now e have the answer to what should be done the discovery has just been made bv the us army airforce they have developed a water bomb big enough to drench an area of oo acres the development has been tried tried and appears to have been a success so all we need at vivian is a plane capable of carrying a water bomb from say musselmans lake one mile from the forest and which could be dropped on a growing fire inside of five minutes after the blaze is detected the reforestation committee has asked hon haroid scott to provide water pumpers and we hasten to suggest that they revise their request and step up the protection to a plane and a water bomb the st lawrence seaway and stouffville there are times when politices in canada and the united states play great harm to the general good of the two nations one can point to the st lawrence seaway project as an example of what we mean because powerful financial interest fear they would lose by a publicy owned development that would bring into existence thousands and thousands of horsepower so badly needed they are fighting the issue tn canada it is montreal interests that are opposed they realize that when the sea way plan is developed water freight would come direct from overseas right up to toronto by boat and montreal would not handle the transfer from boat to rail cars as they do now the saving in shipment would be stupendous but all at the expense of montreal these interests lobby our government and prevent passing of the bill that would start work on the great undertaking the development of the st lawrence seaway would even be felt in stouffville and the whole area here about thousands of dock hands would be required and as in montreal they would live 20 and 30 miles from the wharves thus bringing this district into the orbid of relationship to the scheme in a very material way everybody knows the hepc is short of power for even presentday demand and is pondering over how to meet increased needs the st lawrence seaway development seems to be the sensible answer if montreal financial interest could be brushed aside the province of ontario would receive a great blessing animal pride writing in our dumb animals jewell casey offers the opinion that animals like people take personal pride in being the biggest smallest toughest fiercest fastest slowest or whatever characteristic that best distinguishes each species this opinion is borne out of the proud toss of the swift race horses head the triumphant crow of the strutting cock o the walk and the awesome roar of the kingly lion largest of all the land animals is the elephant whose ringing trumpetcall proudly proclaims its boastful chal lenge for the whole animal kingdom to produce something on four legs more majestic in size in sharp contrast the shrew is evidently proud of be ing the smallest mammal and shows that pride in its fierce fearless and quarrelsome disposition proud as a peacock aptly describes the proudest of all the feathered creatures the peacock as it displays its vanity and brilliant feathers in a promenade of pride one can almost hear the raccoon telling his friends he is natures fussiest eater because he never swallows a morsel of food until he has given it a thorough washing the huge hippopotamus cannot possibly boast of good looks but can be justly proud that he has the thickest skin of any known animal and so it goes the writer of the article in our dumb animals says in conclusion nature seems to offer certain shortcomings by endowing each animal with a distinctive quality that makes each in his own way king of beasts one wonders in what superlative category man should be placed man too is part animal often he shows evidence of being the most stupid especially when it comes to plan ning permanent peace but there is no reason for pride in that at sunny valley musselmans lake saturday aug 2 sunday aug 3 midnight billy hole and his live wires dancing as usual every wednes and satur our capital correspondent written

certain wave lengths at high power but revenue minister mccann has declared the cbc was acting quite properly in carrying out its plans t it is quite true that premier king himself has declared that he does not think there will be a general election before there is another sitting of the house after this session but veteran observers do not consider this by any means as an out and out assurance especially stressing that when a member stated that the prime min ister would not go to the people on a particular measure which this member was discussing mr king remarked dont be too sure of course
