the tribune stouffville oat- thursday october 22 1953 the stouffville tribune established 1sss member of the canadian weekly newspaper association and the ontarioquebec newspapers association member of the audit bureau of circulations authorized as seondelase mall postoffice dept ottawa printed and issued everv thursdav at stouffville ont in canada 250 elsewhere 300 h nolan editor jas thomas sport assist a v nolan son publishers c notes and comments are we luring industry other towns newmarket aurora uxbridge ajax have been wooing industry by various means according to recent daily newspaper reports the city papers also reveal that the trade and industry department of ontario house london england pointed 68 new indus tries toward ontario towns and cities the secret is to tie in an industry with existing facilities and point out immediate benefits from location in the community stouffville is registered with the toronto industrial commission which knows the type of industry this town can best absorb in serving several hundred british and european firms with ideas of expanding in ontario within the next four or five years ontario house officials know that industry overseas is as eager to move to the province as the province is to have it during the past year 68 british firms have obtained permission from the bank of england to finance expansion in ontario towns some have already established themselves in the provinces communities while others are about to do so according to reports all this brings up the question as to whether or not we are doing enough to bring industry here merely by waiting for something to turn up which the tic sees fit to send our way whether or not- the local plan ning board whose members will be officially appointed shortly will take steps to lure industry this way remains to be seen certainly stouffville should be on its toes in this regard easygoing turtle the national geographic society gives interesting information on the longevity of animals the turtle which often attains the age of 100 years has been proved in one case to have lived 152 years elephants also have a long life span and probably never forget to act their age man rarely lives for more than 100 years the gorilla sometimes lives 35 years and one may assume that other great apes are about the same lions for all their roaring only live 20 to 30 years horses 20 to 35 dogs five to 15 and the domestic cat from seven to 15 some parrots live to be 60 pigs have been known to live to be 30 but sheep are lucky to reach 10 and cows 15 it is easy to understand why the turtle lives to a great age he is an isolationist and if he sees an enemy he pulls his head and feet inside of his shell moreover the turtle takes it easy he doesnt have a worry about shelter because he carries his house with him he doesnt have to build one pay rent or taxes probably he isnt bothered with gastric ulcers or arth ritis he just ambles along takes life easy and lives to a ripe old age tractors without licenses fatal accidents to persons driving farm tractors continue to be reported with disquieting frequency as noted in these columns some of the victims are boys too young to be operating equipment said to have more potential hazards than a motorcar observing that many farmers not only permit mere children to handle tractors on their farms but also on the roads belleville intelli gencer says the legislature ought to consider whether a boy or girl of 16 is old enough to handle such an un stable vehicle on the public highway it contends that the lawmakers ought to impose restrictions on the driving of tractors on farms as to operating on the highways an interesting question is raised the highways act provides a mini mum age limit but as a matter of legal interpretation a farm tractor is not a motor vehicle consequently is not subject to licensing that curious situation is underlined at the moment by a case in kent where a farmer his driving license suspended five years ago has been convicted for a third time of driving a farm vehicle while drunk he was piloting a tractor on a city street in chatham sober he could lawfully drive a tractor on any public thoroughfare the crown attorney of kent has called attention to the desirability of legislation to take care of such cases but as to regulation of farm operations the validity of any such law certainly would be challenged and in any event it probably could not be enforced there is some opinion to the effect that fewer young persons meet with farm accidents now than when all equipment was horsedrawn of course any avoidable accident is one too many an occasional inquest into a tractor fatality would be useful in collating rural public opinion as to causes and remedies the telegram suggests blood be deductible the printed word has a good suggestion regard ing the donating of blood it says securing sufficient blood donors to keep the red cross services going is a continuing headache above all it means that those who work for the society without pay must in turn be constantly pleading with others to volunteer their blood here is a suggestion that might help considerably given the cooperation of the govern ment of the management of the society and the public at large why not make blood donations deductible for tax purposes blood certainly has value back in the days before the red cross got into the business a handful of healthy canadians used to let their blood for cash and were thought kindly of for it it would be returning charity with justice if the pint of vital fluid now given free were considered as a donation in kind to the societys treasury there shouldnt be too much trouble setting a value for each donation in earlier days a donation of 100 cc was considered worth 25 at todays prices that would be about doubled but a price of 35 should be agreeable all round between wars the red cross calls on each blood donor only twice a year it would be deserved and appreciated if these volunteers could add another 70 to their charitable donations on the income tax form for parents oiuy clothes are important by xancy cleaver oliver goldsmith once wrote a modest woman dressed out in all her finery is the most tremendous object of the whole creation quite a number of honiema- ker spend most of their mon ey and thought on clothes worn when they step out to a social gathering to shop or to church hut the clothes worn at home are just as im- ikrtant but in a different way from their sunday best washable attractive dresses for home wear

her mother hap pily making garments usually catches her enthusiasm she wants to sew for her dolly her eagerness to make doll clothes is often the first step in becoming a good amateur dressmaker the girl who has a mother who encourages a sewing hob by has a future asset training in this art should not just ibe left to the schools it is true that in many places a fine job is being done of teaching sew ing to the upper grades in pub lic schools and in collegiate courses in home economies xight classes for adults in sewing are very popular and a number of shops such as the singer sewing centres feature short day time courses for be ginners and more advanced sewers at the canadian in ternational hobby and home craft show held at the colise um toronto in february of this year one of the most at tractive corners was called buttons and bows there professional seamstresses dem onstrated the newest dressma king ideas and the latest gad gets for those whose hobby was sewing but there are some women who have little knack for sew ing or who find they simply have neither time nor the de sire to make their own things the woman who buys her clothes often finds the lure of the bargain sale a real pitfall a bargain no matter how much reduced in price is nev er a genuine bargain unless it fits into the wardrobe and is becoming and suitable for the particular woman who purch ases that special article there is something pathetic as well as humerous about helen hok- insons cartoon which pictured an eager shopper asking a clerk where is whatever is reduced fifty percent clothes can be

occasions even a small girl as well as grown woman can thrill to what she sees in her mirror when her clothes add to her pleasing appearance when- her mirror not just on special occasions but on ordinary days gives back the reflection of a happy person pleased with what she sees and when mem bers of her family or friends indicate by an admiring glance or a compliment that they like what she is wearing then a girl or woman realizes afresh that clothes are important eaks i cannot see inside my ears nor yet around behind and its so hard to keep them clean theyye such a wrinkly kind and

the tall nickel- platevl insinglass door parlour stove moved to the back shed where it sat through the sum mer securely covered with a tattered old patchwork quilt- but when it came fall she held off as long as possible on the return trip a wood burn ing stove in the living room meant dirt and ashes no mat ter how careful one was but when september was well a- long and nights were getting frosty there came the inevitab le day for moving the stove the actual moving operation on the peeled maple rollers was simple but a man dread ed the job because after the stove was adjusted on its zinc mat there came the task of fitting the metal pieces of the stove pipe together patience we are told is a primary virtue and in few life situations is- it more need ed than in putting stove pipe together father went at it methodically all the angles were considered and the ends of pipes arranged carefully then when he figured every thing was secure he gave the pipes a final pat and one or more joints came apart it may be that life was on a more stable keel a half cen tury ago because men display ed commendable patience and forbearance when they moved in the stove and somehow in retrospect when the
