publishers notes and comments 600 blind drivers imagine the consternation in the ohio department of bighwav safety caused by the disclosure that 600 blind citizens were listed as holders of motor vehicle drivers licenses an immediate drive was ordered to get tne blind drivers off the roads u c felt department director said records showed that about 600 persons who had drivers li cences also were receiving state pensions paid to tne blind a strange situation indeed perhaps the examiners are among the 600 also saint john telegraph- journal citizens can help the town of newmarket has banned further sub dividing within the corporation it has taken this step because too many houses are being built and too few commercial and industrial plants the building of more houses means more taxes for those residents already in newmarket while our situation in stouflville is not as des perate we too are badly in need of industry your planning board will investigate every lead possible in an effort to have some new plants located here but citizens too can help many of you every week meet people from otner communities and correspond with individuals and companies in canada and overseas you can be am bassadors for stouflville by suggesting that your town is a good place in which to locate their business more industries mean more employment and that means a better standard of living for everyone help yourself and help your community by putting stouffville on the map children have so little to do today three or four decades ago there were many chores for a boy to do even in town he had wood to split kindling to get ready sometimes chickens to feed these tasks kept him out of a lot of mischief with modern facilities in the home such work is almost non existent and it is quite likely that some youngsters get into trouble because of their idleness jobs before and after school are not so common either as they used to be the grocery store is swept out by one of the adult clerks nearly every family has an automobile and housewives pick up their purchases at the drug store and other retail establishments boys on bicycles used to deliver such items one of the few jobs remaining open to boys and girls too is newspaper delivery this is useful work that doesnt interfere with schooling pays well for the time put in and besides gives a youngster an insight into business practices for he keeps his own accounts collects from his customers and pays his own bills many successful business executives received their first experience as newspaper carriers this work for youth has gained in importance as chores for young sters have dwindled almost to the vanishing point w k kinks dol stouffville and markham snow has not been overly plentiful this winter nor in any recent winter but winter has proved tenacious enough to provide excellent outdoor skating in fact so far this year has been one of the best in many for this recreation and the situation has been relished by the voung folks nearby ponds have been patronized and conditions have been ideal for making private rinks and not in years have so many been apparent quite a number can be found along main st in stouff ville and markham as well as some on oft street yards youngsters have pitched in with a will to keep them flooded cedarena that popular outdoor resort at cedar grove has had one of its better years the result has been that few youngsters have had to go far this year to get skating and hockey practice and they have taken full advantage of it there is no more healthful recreation than skating and here there has always been a healthy love of it these little hockey and skating rinks are well worth the tinii and effort put on them the pity of it from the standpoint of the youngsters is that soon the sun will be getting in damaging rays and will make it difficult for the ice to survive laff of the week ft for parents oyly valentine hearts a sense of proportion sidney dark a wellknown english writer says the i reason there are so many discontented and unhappy people i because they lack a sense of proportion they take little things too seriously and exaggerate trifles if they could only laugh i at themselves their worries would vanish i know a man who is a good deal in the public eye frequently his picture was in the newspapers and the references generally flattering one day i asked him how he kept humble this was his reply my dear wife keeps me humble if publicity goes to my head she undertakes to flatten me out when she has had her say i am as flat as a pancake i know a minister who asked his wife if she noticed any difference in his sermons she replied yes some are worse than others but what about the man who isnt married or worse still the man whose wife flatters him and thus pours oil on the flames disraelis wife often said in public that he was the handsomest man alive btt it is in relation to conduct that we get lopsided a dying man was going over his virtues he said that never once in a long life had he forgotten his umbrella he must have been a fussy man thehe is a quaint passage in the bible which runs ephnam is a cake nrt turned that is a reference to the manner of baking in the east sometimes a cakj got overdone on one side neglected on the other that is why we refer to some people as halfbaked ir you put a fivecent piece close to the eye it will shut out the sun it would take billions and billions of nickles to equal the sun but it can block out everything because it is so close that is what paul meant when he wrote demas hath forsaken me having loved this present world that is the trouble with material things they are so present appear so real it is hard to know what is important to keep a sense of proportion a ladv once brought an ambitious lad to the painter joshua reynolds she said i thought my boy might do some little things to your pictures like painting the background reynolds replied anyone who can paint my background can paint the whole picture it seems to be that is the chief value of public worship it isnt so much what we hear from the pulpit that counts but rather that by quiet and reverent meditation we may get hold of ourselves these are busy times and we imagine we must hurry some people get mad if they lose one turn of a revolving door when a motorist passes me at seventvfive miles an hour i wonder if what he is doing is so very important perhaps when he gets there he will hang around doing nothing yes a sense or proportion is necessary the first time leny son sawstars through a telescope he said perhaps our leading families are not so important after all our quotation today is from isaiah 3018 in quietness and in confidence shall be your strength editors mail toronto ont february 7th 1955 editor the tribune stouffville ont dear sir i liked this opening note in your thoughts on plenty of cheese there are now forty- six million pounds of cheese in stock in canada a million more than at this time last year the surplus is worrying cheese pro ducers because in the ordinary operation of supply and de mand a scarcity raises prices a surplus lowers them one wav to reduce the surplus would be to sell it at cutrate prices 46000000 pounds of cheese would be only three pounds a canadian head the logic of the marketplace is not to be denied but on the other hand there is nothing permanent in the effort to force a given food product into con sumption at bargain or firesale valuations i know little about cheese and less about livestock but i well remember the factual warning of one of the farm leaders that believe it or not the human stomach is not very elastic that bargains in eggs and cheese would quickly be reflected in lowered demand for beef and bacon then if the livestock growers decided to get in and fight for their proper slice of the urban food dollar and authorized a pricecut the chain reaction would be felt in constantly wider areas until the surge of farm buying power commenced to be felt in the secondary industries from this later point to the bog of depression would be a brief step it seems to me there must be a safer and sounder surplus dis posal technique than we have yet discovered my under standing is that there are nudg ing 15 million automobiles of all vintages and types on the used- car lots of the united states and canada yet this fact does not seem to cause a ripple on the ocean of this years models thats the kind of salesman ship agriculture needs and would thrive on all along the line it takes the average can adian 6 months to eat 3 lbs of cheese buyerconsumer us defence secretary wil son describes the formosan cri sis as just a little ripple but ripples have been known to grow into waves instead of using
