the tribune stouffville ont thursday january 29 1933 the stouffville tribune established 18s8 member of the canadian weekly newspaper association and the ontarioquebec newspapers association member of

notes and comments ratepayers should be hearing before long from their newlyelected council on the proposed action for a survey on municipal sewers as asked for last year through a petition presented by the local lions club local committees workhig towards interesting industry to settle here are finding it very difficult because of the lack of sewers ticks once a year a clock that will never have to be wound does not run by electricity and is expected to keep time for the next 100 years has been built at the museum of science and industry in chicago this highly unorthodox timepiece was created to be interred in a cornerstone laid at the centennial of engin eering celebration at- the museum it is not expected to revolutionize the watchmaking industry since it measures only years not seconds hours or even days the clocks movement consists solely of a bimetallic strip held fast at one end the other end is free to move backward or forward as the metal expands or contracts with temperature change when the mercury dips to 20 degrees the strip activ ates an odometer the strip then can fluctuate freely until the temperature rises to 80 degrees and then falls back to 20 at which time it will trip the measuring device according to scientists who carefully studied chicagos weather history this will happen once a year extra dollars for permits drivers of motor vehicles are this year being asked to pay an extra dollar for their driving permits the cost is now two dollars instead of the one dollar charged originally actually there is an increase of 50 cents over the cost last year it is surprising how many people there are who on being asked for the extra fee have questioned it and have shown complete ignorance as to the reason for it motorists however should be quite willing to pay that extra charge because the extra dollar may be the means of protecting them from heavy losses in future that dollar goes into the unsatisfied judgments fund which is maintained by the ontario department of high ways this fund exists for the purpose of meeting the costs of damages sustained in an accident in which the party responsible has no insurance and is unable to pay the damages in that case the innocent driver can sue- the uninsured party who is responsible and if he obtains judgment against him can collect his damages from this fund prior to the passing of the legislation setting up this fund the motorist could sue but could in many cases col lect nothing if the uninsured man had no assets there are thousands of motorists in ontario who because of unsatisfactory experiences in trying to collect accident damages realize the tremendous benefit of this legislation it is in effect a form of insurance against losses by accidents in which the party not responsible for the accident in unable to secure compensation from the party responsible at one dollar a year it is mighty cheap insurance against that kind of thing sausage sampling was the best part markham township mennonite families as well as pickering families have been famous for their sausage making we have never counted the different kinds but they probably reach two figures they range from blood sausage to head cheese no wonder they say the only thing that goes to waste on a hog hereabouts is the squeal the subject naturally has a local interest and the following experiences related by the country editor of the ottawa journal should start a train of reminiscences research does not tell us where or when our ancestors first discovered the secret of sausage making in ancient days men learned they could dry and smoke foods but presumably it is within modern times that husbandmen be gan to experiment with seasonings and meat mother was famous for her delicious sausage on sausagemaking day a boy didnt mind turning the crank of the grinder as the mixture of threefourths and one- fourth fat went through he was even willing to keep a watchful eye on the woodbox the important point about sausage day was that mother fried out a considerable number of samples before she was satisfied with her amounts of black pepper white pepper nutmeg salt and sage she used her famous and secret formula of certain herbs marjoram cloves and ginger father always came around to help test the samples the nostriltickling fragrance of the frying sausage filled the kitchen usually father cooperated well by suggesting a little more of this or a bit less of that so that several samples had to be fried not so much sausage is made at home today as half a century ago but there are still many who can recall sausagemaking time and the delicious salivastarting good ness of the sample patties that came from the old iron spider on the woodburning stove the o home town by stanley oh

the first book students at the public school were given monday afternoon off owing to the teacher being storm stayed at her home in claremont over the weekend there are 338 farms served by the rural

dogs in our town snail have a bit of it how many children have chant ed this taunt the tale bearer is anything but popular with his friends they despise htm because he renounces iiis kinship with his own age group and goes over to the side of grownups but they also dislike him and fear him what if his report start- an inquiry which ends up in offenders our teacher doesnt let us do any tattling in our room and i dont think you should allow jun ior w go wailing to you about every little thing why dont you stamp on him big brother asks belligerently mother wonders if this is the thing to do it sounds like a simple solution but is it right in every case what does a parent do when his child comes to him with a story about anothers wrong doing many mothers and fathers feel uncomfortable and perplexed when this happens they are not sure whether they should refuse to listen to the tale bearer at all and scold him for approaching them as well or should they hear the report to its end perhaps a brother or sister has been up lo some more or less serious mischief which should be attended to at once maybe a small boy or girl is being bullied by a larger stronger child and tejling seems to be the only way to seek protection naturally a parent is curious as to whether or not the story is cor rect every person colors his recitation of an event to some ex tent by his own reaction to it in stead of being true or false likely it is somewhere in between by a few skilful questions by checking on the answer and by taking time to hear the other persons version of the incident a parent can usually discover if the story is right christine may complain that patty has broken the leg off her dolly but maybe both little girls were having a tug-of- yvar for possession of it if a child is maliciously lying about another child he should learn that this just isnt done to a little child a regard for the truth may not be very clear nevertheless he must not make up damaging stories a child who lies about another in order to get him into trouble likely has a deep sense of hostility against this other child this may not arise from one incident but from a succession of small squabbles in which the tattling child has been defeated the tatt ling child is a child in trouble in trouble with himself and in trouble with others a parent will want to find out why there is this antagonism and see if anything can be done to promote a better relationship between the two youngsters once in a while a child neither feels hostile nor resentful to the child against whom he is talking he may not even know him very well perhaps he saw a child a couple of blocks away abusing a pussy although he has been allow- no pot of his own he has continu ed to ask for one he has been taught animals should be treated kindly as he recounts the other childs cruelty he is saying to himself i would never act in this way i would be good to my little cat why oh why will mummy not let me have a pussy of my very own parents have to guard against jumping to conclusions or getting all wrought up there is no truer proverb than there are two sides to every question an in former must learn that he is responsible for his own actions not his brothers or sisters or a neighbors child many families have found that a regular familv council has greatly diminished tatetale activ ities within the home circle if a boy or girl has a complaint to make he must have patience and state it there he will be more careful of his facts if the person against whom he is reporting is on the other side of the circle ready to defend his actions the knowledge that wrongdoing will likely hie discuss ed at a family council session also strengthens a childs resist ance to temptation it puts a check on bullying or greediness or care lessness or any other small irrita tions which poison a peaceful i atmosphere to the j whether it is at a family coun cil or in a private talk mother or dad can usually get it across to the tattling child that everyone has to work towards the goal of happy living together constant tale bearing is no help to happi ness but if a wrong must be told the parent and the children con cerned can together try to see how it happened what can be done about it and how that particular offense can be avoided in the future billy may tattle that tom broke the neighbors garage window but perhaps billy refused to go with tom to play ball at the park tom can discover that he takes the sting out of billys story if on his own steam he tells the neighbor that he broke the glass and with his dads help he will repair the damage it is easier to repair windows than it is to mend broken relation ships the tattle tale cuts himself off from his friends as parents we must encourage our children to face up to their own small troubles themselves they must learn to take it oh the chin at the same time if a child is deeply perplexed or terribly up set he should always feel free to
