the tribune stouffville onl thursday december 15 1949 the stouffville tribune established 1888 member of the canadian weekly newspaper association and ontario quebec newspapers association member of the audit bureau of circulations b authorized as second class mau post office department ottawa issued every thursday at stouffville ontario in canada 200 in usa 250 a v nolan son publishers notes and comments stabling the stock late fall is a time of adjustment the period between the hard frost that kills the grass and the fust snowfall that covers it for the winter is a time when the faitn animals become more and more willing to seek shelter in the stables finally the onset of continuous cold makes it necessary for them to remain in shelter nearly all the time there is a definite order of precedence followed when the livestock are stabled at the top of the list are the milk cows not only are they more delicate but they are the im mediate source of revenue therefore they get most atten tion and most herds have been in the barn at night for some time now next come the young stock halfwild some of them from a summer in the back pasture half wood half stoney field too rough for the plow these will take per suasion before they learn to tolerate the closeness of the stable but even these have been let into the meadows after the crops were off and have shown a tendency to huddle close about the barns as the nights got longer and the frosts keener last and most tolerant of the cold are the young horses the tall shy colts which have not felt a halter since may they seem willing to tolerate the cold and shelter un der the spruce and cedar browsing the frozen grass they will be left to their own devices till the snow comes and even then getting them home will be no light task fewer and fewer farms however raise colts any more the beasts all know the power of king winter no mat ter how long they keep up a show of independence the cold drives them in and the older ones know enough to seek shelter if they can get it only the young stock make any show of reluctance on entering winter quarters once the chill winds bring warning of worse to come cornwall standardfreeholder improper shoes it is rather surprising to read that industry in the united states is paying a 600000000 bill annually because of the sore feet of its employees according to a recent sur vey contributing factors are the costs of absenteeism ac cidents and lowered efficiency no doubt a similar situation i exists in this country it is pointed out that a great deal of this trouble could be avoided if the persons concerned wore shoes that fitted them properly and were a style suited for their feet the survey further revealed that nearly 70 per cent of all industrial workers complain of foot ailments the fact that one out of every four men and two of every three women workers have shoes that are too tight for their feet contains the basic cause for loss of work due to foot ail ments it is a wise person who when buying shoes listens to a trained salesman when being fitted and be sure he or she is a trained hoof ologist otherwise an ignorant salesman may cramp your foot into an illfitting shoe that will cost you endless trouble in years to come the wrong toys the wrong toys like the wrong pictures are too often available to youngsters and we hesitate to make this state ment coming christmas lest we be styled a killjoy at any rate it is something that needs to be said and cannot be too deeply impressed in the minds of parents toy guns and pistols are instrumental in putting wrong ideas in the mind of very young boys in this connection the st thomas timesjournal says something that should be given careful consideration by parents a few days ago a huntsville woman answered an im perious knock on the front door and on opening it found herself faced by two small boys who pointed realistic look ing guns at her and said stick em up she just smiled at them and produced some candies after which they went away satisfied maybe it was just a little fooling on the part of these boys but fooling or not they probably expected to get some thing undoubtedly they were old enough to read the news papers and knew that by pointing a gun at someone men or youths got money we have sometimes felt that it is a mistake to give young boys toy guns because we have been held up in the street by mere children pointing their guns at us and telling us to stick em up it has caused us to wonder if some day these boys will develop a lawless complex and really stage holdups when they are old enough to know what it means do such children join the delinquent class or do they bypass it when they grow older it is hard to understand why parents with a sense of responsibility give toy pistols and guns to their children at christmas why encourage them to play robbery and murder all social students agree that the practice is much to blame for real holdups in later- life the parents only do not seem to realize it more and more people are beginning to think that the sale of these toys should be prohibited free travel for mps the financial post is not greatly impressed with the effort made on behalf of canadas mps trying to get free transportation on canada airlines these favored gentlemen already get free transportation on canadian railways from coast to coast although they get better salaries as mps than most of the people who have to pay railway deficits it is argued that if free transportation were given them on airlines paying passengers would be crowded out and during i sessions especially would the free riding legislators burden the traffic and the finance of the airlines we know this item will be mighty popular with all our readers yet we hope that jack smith mp doesnt see it no military service it is significant in the changing trend of world affairs that in a recent poll conducted in germany 602 per cent of those questioned declared that they did not want any more military service under any condition for years the german youth had been trained to become a soldier and this compulsory training was responsible for many german emigrants making their home on this continent it looks as though the strong influence of the other major powers since the war is bringing home to the german people the folly of any future wars the german people need to have it impressed upon them that they can live peaceably with the rest of the world if they continue to turn a deaf ear to the rantings of leaders saturated with greed and ideas of conquest from the tribune of sixty years ago the stouffville royal tempters will hear a toronto speaker we hope to list the local adver tisers appearing in that issue of go years
