windsor star has say on the subject irreparable damage can be done by skimming off the sod as it is imjwssible to do this without taking a bit of the earth with it soon there would be nothing left but the bare pan of subsoil good for nothing and we fear most of those who sell off the sod worry little about the results leaving what remains to grow a crop of weeds most of those who sell sod are after a quick profit and careless of the consequences the man who really loves his soil and understands its value would think very carefully before selling the soi such soil can be skimmed off in a few hours but the soil it represents cannot be replaced in decades or perhaps even centuries we think it would be in the interests of the pro vince if a ban were put on the selling of sod from farm lands

kwks dining boom is postwar casualty condition- arising from the second world war notably housing shortage and inflation have made a radical change in the domestic habits and practices of canadians and for that matter most of the inhabitants of this continent before the war home designing by architects mosi generally included a familysized dining room most families were in the habit of eating in the dining room with exception being made in some instances for break fast the kitchen was the locale for breakfast with many since the war localise of costs the smaller home has been favored to reduce floor space and cost the dining room was omitted a breakfast nook was pro vided in the kitchen plan the modern fiveroom house provides a living room a kitchen three bedrooms or two bedrooms and a den a gateleg table either in the den or living room allows for infrequent dinners with guests present mounting food costs and a growing aversion to too much work have resulted in the social plan being changed when there is reason to entertain at dinner the family eats out with the guest or guests these changes have come about gradually and almost unnoticed the effect however has been far reaching demand for dining room furniture has dropped ap preciably and furniture manufacturers have altered their production schedules the dining room is practically gone what will go next is difficult to foresee television is a new factor in the home and what domestic habits it will establish await future revealing perhaps it will reestablish the habit of genuine family life in the home with all its sacred associations it is to be hoped it will planning board was urged by county planning authorities the step which town council in stouffville look re cently in moving towards the naming of a town planning board is one which was urged at the recent public meet ing to discuss industry and town planning and which was attended by county planning officials and toronto industrial heads stouffville is now only eleven miles from the city of toronto the largest city in the dominion we are surrounded by municipalities which have planning boards which could work with town planners in stouffville richmond hill one of our neighboring communities is even more concerned with the rapid development than we in stouffville and the liberal in a current issue strongly supports town planning some cities and towns have been alert to the need for regulated growth while others have allowed then- expansion to proceed along haphazard lines the former are pleasant progressive communities the latter are full of headaches for themselves and everybody else every community regardless of its size has a pat tern which is the result of the social economic and physical forces which first molded it and are acting upon it some of the forces are obvious and measurable others may still neeo study a town plan cannot change the natural forces but it can guide them control the rate of change and smooth out difficulties the character of a village or town is determined to a large extent by the principal resources which led to its development a mining town is different from a market town a summer resort may spread along a shore line while a town whose industry is directly con cerned with imports and exports clings to the harbor area which itself set the original pattern in settlement and industrial growth the pattern of a town is also a result of its site geological situation hills rivers coastlines govern its shape and the uses of its land resources land subject to flood or incapable of being well drained may be de velop into park areas flat dry stretches invite indus try hillier land may become a fine residential area in this way a town is divided by geography into areas the manner in which the areas are developed should be the result of careful study and regulation if the town is to be something more than a haphazard badly organ ized collection of houses and factory buildings town planning therefore is simply a realistic attempt to study the growth of cities towns and villages and to prevent unhealthy and inefficient development its aim is to provide
