comments better equipment needed a couple of weeks ago the stouffville municipal council authorized the attachment of a grader blade to the small tractor purchased by the community centre board several seasons back to cut grass in the park however it does not appear to be money well spent since the outfit is too small to be effective on the rough side streets in town the purchase of a larger tractor that could cut grass grade the streets sweep main street pavement and load snow in the winter is the real answer however should the cost of such a changeover be deemed pro hibitive by council they would be wise to procure one of the hand graders frequently used in this area by the county and which could easily be pulled at the rear of the town truck si 000 per ton an eastern newspaper takes exception to the 1000 per ton increase being applied to newsprint on april 1st bv most of the producing companies in the past few years the newsprint companies ot canada have steadily increased the price of their pro duct and the amount is always the same 1000 per ton many canadian papers have attempted to carry these increases but the new increase which was added on april 1st may break the camels back there is almost certain to be an increase in subscription prices manv publishers are suggesting that there is no need for the april increase in newsprint prices and they point to the profit recently announced by the bowater newfoundland pulp and paper mill whose net profits rosd from 4069829 in 1951 to 4617474 in 1952 nor will the publishers be called upon to shed any tears for the howard smith paper mills limited which recently announced earnings for 1952 of 9811721 after deduct- 4241107 for depreciation and depletion net profits for the year were given as 3826882 if these companies are having a hard time getting along their net earnings do not show any cause for tears postman looks twice on stamps with evitas face if you have had mail from argentina lately you probably noticed that the stamps bore the portrait of evita peron you also may have noticed thsit these stamps were cancelled very carefully at the bottom so no ink touchd her face this last is the result of orders from dictator peron he told the post office that under no circumstances must a cancellation mar evitas picture this is just another of many evidences of the desire of peron that his wife in death shall be treated with respect and reverence beyond that very rarely accorded to royalty in other countries regarding this the philadelphia inquirer comments oddly enough this is nothing new nearly a hundred years ago king bomba formally known as ferdinand ii of two sicilies had stamps issued bearing his portrait he too gave orders that no cancellation was to touch his face and so a special framelike cancellation was made which marked only the edges of these stamps confusion over coronation day a considerable amount of confusion exists regarding the actual status of coronation day on june 2 as to whether it should or should not be observed as a general national holiday in toronto and other places merchants and business people are at a loss to know just what they should do regarding it they are waiting for some sort of official pronouncement from ottawa before they can come to a decision it would seem as if the federal government has been somewhat lax in making its official desires known with regard to coronation day one announcement was made that may 18 would be observed as the victoria day holiday and that june 2 would be a holiday for corona tion day but as the federal government knows very well there are various degrees of holidays there are those statutory holidays which everyone recognizes there are also those holidays which are observed only by government establishments banks and schools but are not a general holiday so far as industry and business are concerned there is a need therefore for an official proclamation or some other guiding edict from the government to clarify the status of coronation day this is important from the standpoint of arranging coronation celebrations regardless of what announcement the government may make of course it is still possible that many lines of industry will be in full operation on coronation day according to the urgency of their production needs it would however clarify the general situation to a mater ial extent if the government would tell the people of canada what it expects them to do on that important day the old home town ihm v f 0t by r luceeftia youd bettev watch 5ampaw ox evere snce
