the tribune stouffviiie out thursday august 7 1962 the stouffville tribune established 1888 member of the canadian weekly newspaper association and the ontarioquebec newspapers association member of the audit bureau of circulations authorized as secondclass mail postoffice dept ottawa printed and issued everv thursdav at stouffviiie ontario in canada 250 in the usa s300 a v nolan son publishers for parents only i in bygone days the old home town b stanley notes and comments special issue appreciated the tribune has received a host of complimentary notes and expressions on the special 22page issue turned out last week the largest on record the publication was one of the few references of a historical nature in evidence during the celebration along with the several merchants who gave window displays and some of the floats during the parade the special issue formed something ot the opening gun for the celebration and many copies have been se cured to send to friends and relatives friends of stouftville who could not be on hand for the special occasion the tribune is pleased to have been able to bring to its readers the historical sketch of stouflvilles municipal background and appreciates the appreciative words passed on to the publishers farm labor two handicaps confront a farmer seeking workers first he cant always pay industrial rates for labor secondly farming is hard physical exertion and the average ablebodied man is likely to take something else if he can get it those are the principal reasons that the new bruns wick agricultural scene is so laborhungry despite the fact that there are about 10000 registered unemployed in the province immigrants might be the solution it they could be brought over from europe but the fact remains that many riew settlers are no more anxious than native canadians to work as agricultural hands and regard the farm only as a quick steppingstone to something more gainful saint john telegraphjournal security found in wanted skills i talked with a farmer who still works his own farm though he is well beyond the age at which some men retire he finds the work rather heavy but he keeps at it and when someone offered to buy his land for cash sufficient to pay for an annuity that would enable him to enjoy a well earned rest during his remaining years he replied that he couldnt see much fun in rest as a full time occupation he preferred to rest when he was tired and go to work again when he felt like it but this is not his only reason for continuing to work he is working for security his own security in his old age when 1 asked him what better security he could want than an annuity guaranteed by a dependable company or by the government he asked me where i had been in the last ten years didnt i know that the canadian dollar had lost half its value during that time and was there any assurance that the other half would not be lost in the next ten years dollars he said are no security when they no longer represent real value the best security a man can have in a disturbed world is the skill to render some service for which mankind will pay and the only way to retain that skill is to continue using it day by day for that reason i work and i hope to be able to work as long as t am here farm wealth of ontario in spite of the great development of industrial and mining activity in ontario the major factor in the wealth of the province is still the natural result of its- having for many years been devoted to general agriculture better known as mixed farming the average ontario farmer combines the growing of grains roots and grasses the raising and feeding of live stock the production of milk for the dairy the cheese factory or the creamery or for the city market and the cultivation of a few acres for fruit growing he converts a large portion of his grain root and fodder crops into live stock and animal products beef bacon poultry eggs and the various dairy foods from these sources the farmers obtain nice cash returns and under this system of farming the productive ness of the soil is maintained and the prosperity of agri culture is prolonged since old ontario can successfully demonstrate the benefits to be derived from diversified agriculture the lesson should soon be learned by new settlers who take up virgin soil- in the more recentlysettled parts of the province it is significant that ontarios farm wealth great as it is comes from less than 14 million acres of land now under cultivation this means that above seven per cent of the land area of the province is now producing as operated farmland there is still available in the clay belts of north ern ontario much more land than all the cultivated land in the entire province at the present time therefore when we speak of the natural wealth of ontario we should not overlook the fact that its main roots are to be found in the rich agricultural soil with which the province is blessed the outstanding summer event sutton horse

when i roil lh- fil- of the tribune x year ago i you may think my dear you grow quite old vou have left camp das behind but i know the scent of wo 1- smoke will always cat to mind little fires at twilight and trail- you used to find mary s edgar in to an old camper there is magk- about camp which casts a spell over boys and girls which they remember all their lives their loyalty to camp is deep camping can be a wonder ful experience for them enthus iasm about camping is very con tagious many a youngster as summer approaches pleads with parents do send me to camp this holiday but there are certain questions which mothers and fathers want to ask about any camp before they entrust their child to its care parents investigate a camp- re cord most easily by making in quiries from parents of campers of recent years they can also tell a great deal about a camp from the personality of the director and the maturity and type of counsellors employed perhaps this measuring stick in evaluating the suitability of a camp in question form will be useful to you in selecting a partic ular camp for your boy or girl the first question is will camp be a safe place for my child as a parent you want to know that a camp has an excellent health and safety rating is the food nourishing and is adequate provision for rest made you want to lie sure that the camps record for the past seasons has been free from a seri ous accident on land or in the water you will also discover the camps regulations for an outbreak of polio or any other disease is the camp director and are the counsellors the kind of people with whom i can entrust my child you want to have no misgivings about the integrity the training and the suitability of the personnel of the cam staff are there enough counsellors for the number of campers are these counsellors keen about their job and fitted for their responsible positions will my child learn more about getting along happily with other youngsters at camp is another question you will want to ask camp can be a wonderful experi ence in democratic living the council hour can give a child a fine introduction into thinking not just of his own wishes but of the desires of the camp as a unit a canoe trip an overnight hike a camp craft project a learning setting under the wise direction of an able counsellor campers plan and carry out an activity where each camper must take turns and carry his own load is it likely that my child will discover a new hobby at camp this is still another question to which you want a satisfactory answer you want to know whether there is a fairly good chance that your child will come home from camp full of enthus iasm for a fresh hobby and with sufficient skill to continue his new interest by himself will my child learn more about campcraft and nature lore you will be particularly keen about your child learning to live com fortably out of doors building of fires safely and well hiking cook ing out of doors are all taught through activities in a good camp nature lore includes adventuring into any field birds flowers trees animals of the woods a camp might as well be in the middle of a large city as a lakes edge among the trees if nature lore is not an integral part of the days program last but not least most parents want to know will my child learn to swim or make progress as a swimmer and diver and become more proficient handling boats boys and girls most of them are very keen to excel in water sports but mothers and fathers want to be reassured that as well as being careful about safety rules the campers receive competent instruc tion swimming usually is one of the most outstanding and satisfy ing experiences of the camp day boating runs a close second camp any good camp is a marvellous investment it pays big dividends in health in growth in skills and character if at all possible do plan to send your child to camp this summer there is no finer way to spend the baby bonus the years when he longs to go to camp pass so quickly and there is no good substitute for a creative satisfying camp experience copyright a petition has been drafted and will be circulated almost at
