caldwell singers in the local high school auditorium last week 3aw what we trust will be onlv the first of a long line of fine concerts which should be enjoyed in stouffvihe now that modern stage facilities have been provided musical programs var iety programs debates and drama should all find their place here in the years to come stouffvihe has been woefully lacking in this de partment for a long time and it may take time for enthusiasm to return however as local talent is de veloped in our school the picture will change and we look forward to seeing many a packed auditorium thrill and enjov fine stage presentations ie future manv were visiting the auditorium last week for the first time and marvelled at the spacious seating accommodation the modern stage setting with its up- todate theatre lighting affects ft ft deterring reckless driving a recent editorial invthese columns called upon the attorney general to review the light penalties im posed on motorists convicted of drunken or reckless driving it would now appear from a report to the civic traffic committee that some drivers involved in accidents and who were held responsible were not even prosecuted let alone penalized this report from the police department showed that in 1953 60 drivers involved in 75 fatal accidents were not prosecuted of the 15 that were prosecuted only four were imprisoned receiving short terms the others were either dismissed or fined of the 60 cases where no prosecution took place 44 drivers were exonerated by coroners jury in 11 instances an inquest was deemed unnecessary but five were held responsible by the jury yet were not charged light sentences when cases are prosecuted and no prosecutions in several cases this is a report which should arouse the concern of- the attorney general safety campaigns serve a useful purpose but if the courts are lenient and if the crown attor neys office neglects to press charges when they should be pressed little progress can be expected in reducing the shocking toll of automobile fatalities the telegram ft ft ft the little things a husband generally suffers in silence those ir ritating little habits which make his mate somewhat less than angelic in his eyes from time to time however one of the worms turns such was the case the other day in copenhagen when a danish husband won a divorce on the grounds that his wife persisted in squeezing the toothpaste tube in the middle after he had taken pains to see that it was emptied in orderly fashion from the bottom the judge observed that such an offence would not normally be a ground for divorce but the husband had shown himself to be sensitive on the matter and still the aggravation was continued this case could serve well as a warning to those wives who persist in goading the poor beast he may yet show that he has fangs conversely it should also warn husbands for many of them have a tendency to throw n wet coat on the banister in the hall andto dispose of their soiled linen in the most outlandish places in canada of course such offences would not be grounds for divorce but there is always the rolling pin 5r baseball bat it is not our intention to set mar riage partners eyeing each other malevolently while mentally cataloguing lists of faults thus setting off a great wave of discontent our purpose rather is to show that little things can and do mean a lot and that a tardy addition lo mend some of those habits which vex ones mate so sorely would do no harm and pos- siblywould do much good hamilton spectator ft ft ft many parents still believe in spanking a few generations ago there was little argument about whettier a child should be spanked when he did something seriously wrong the old adage about spar ing the rod and spoiling the child was more generally jccvpied than it is today some modern child psychol ogists maintain that whipping a child makes him more spoiled evidently there are still many parents who are oldfashioned enough to give an offending youngster the woodshed treatment surveys have shown that about twothirds of american parents whack their provocative offspring probably that holds true for canadian parents too even the tolerant experts dont condemn physical punishment dr benjamin spock a noted adviser on child care believes that constant nagging is worse for the youngsters than a mild spanking im not advo cating spanking but it is less poisonous than lengthy disapproval he says but spanking by others than parents by teachers especially sometimes leads to disputes yet we have known fathers who punished their children whenever they got the strap at school in britain they believe that the piddle or cane should be used more frequently upon the pupils legs and adjacent regions recently a london woman teacher who admitted using a blackboard pointer on 38 of her third grade boys and girls went to trial on a charge of assault she was found guilty but on appeal she won some time ago viscount montgomery speaking on education at colombia university in new york had a good word to say for corporal punishment i was well beaten and i am the better for it he was quoted as remarking monty being an army man is naturally strong on discipline but discipline is a necessity even in our day if it can be managed without the cane as is often the case that is all the better but to rule out corporal punishment even when its deserved is often just asking for trouble tommy is our srs baby and he isj quite two but it upsets ire to see him become so mad several times a day he hies into a terrible rage often he shouts no no no i seam to have lost my happy contented baby and i have a small hornet in hi place why does he get m angry many mothers of little chil dren know exactly how tom mys mother feels life was so much simpler for her when her son was a docile tiny baby now he has a will of his own when hi determination to show his independence is block ed anger and resistance are the natural results often a child ha- a temper tantrum because his play is suddenly interrupted mother insists that h come for a meal or go to the toilet if he has received a warning that he is soon going to have to stop his piay often he will accept this interference more gracefully a little child who is very tired or very hungry is likely to he emotionally upet these physical conditions make ad ults prone to crossness which is another way of showing irri tation tool a routine which pro- vides sufficient rest and meals spaced not too far apart may bei a real help in reducing angry scenes around the age of two a child is very ouy exploring his new and exciting world beyond the play pen tin command of lang uage is still jure limited some times because he cannot easily explain how he feeis or what he wants he gets mad and shouts a- he grows older it will be easier for him to ex press himself and he will not be o likely to have a temper tantrum confusion upsets a child it is no fair to him if his ar- ents rules vary from day to day nor can he understand if mother tells him that candy must be eaten only at the end of a meal while father or grandmother give him sweets at other times parents find it hard to live with a small child who is in a continual state of resistance they should try to put them selves in his place they will see that he gets mad when he hears frequent dont do that they will ob serve that if he is a healthy normal youngster he is burst ing with energy if he is re stricted at every turn in his natural desire to explore wouldnt they get mad if they were in his shges it seems on ly good sense to reduce the rules he mut obey to the mini mum and as far as possible avoid headon collisions copyright items from bygone days 30 years ago from the tribune feb 19 1925 the town hydrants ought to be examined after the severe weather some of them may be frozen mr george storey of the standard bank staff nearly lost the first finger of his lefthand by having it badly jammed in the safe door of the bank vault last week the accident is a painful one the end of the fin ger being badly mutilated we notice by some of the pa pers coming to the tribune of fice that bread is advancing from lie per loaf to 12 cents the staff of life is still ob tainable in stouffvihe at 10c per loaf despite the stiff ad vance in the price of flour while cutting ice on wm ratcliffs pond on the 8th con cession of whitchurch for hugh anderson of stouffvihe one of the blocks came out with a nice trout fish frozen into the centre of the cake markham village council has decided to return to the old curfew bell again which will shortly ring out each evening at nine oclock warning all chil dren that they must be off the streets 28 years ago from the tribune feb 21 1927 perhaps the largest skating carnival ever held in stoultville was that on thurs night at the arena it is estimated that nearly five hundred people were on skates and some 42 people were in costume to com pete for the prizes mr sam p foote of bethesda carried off the honors and the prize for be ing the oldest skater on he ice he is just past his 70th birthday the contest for the largest family on skates went to the sons and daughters of frank steckley of whitchurch when nine of his ten children clasped hands and rounded the ice to the admiration of the spectators while ontario potatoes were i selling a week ago at 110 a bag off cars at toronto a dea ler in goodwood loaded a car last week for which he paid 115 a bag several inches of snow fell on sunday which u very bene ficial to the fall wheat the fields were exposed to the ice and cold through lack of snow just on the hour of ten o clock sunday morning a fire alarm was sounded and the bri gade hastened to the christian church where overheated pipes threatened to do serious damage mr abe lehman had the menace in control before the fire fighters arrived al though they answered the call promptly 24 years ago from the tiihiinc feb 191931 there will be 15000 persons taking the census of canada this year at the unionville carnival held on wednesday evening of last week miss hazel boyd was awarded the first prize for best dressed lady impersonating miss canada motoring to toronto one day last week to participate in a curling match mr w r san ders the local photographer was unfortunate in being dum ped out of his car when it turned over in the ditch just south of the school house at dixon hill as the snow was deep the car came oir without a scratch and the driver es caped injury also lust 52 days after being ad mitted to the toronto east general hospital mr walter davey of toronto was able to be removed to his home in the city on fob 10 on dec 20 last he was struck down on the street in the city by a hit-and- run motorist and was found to be suffering from scalp and head wounds with his right leg broken in four places the fractured limb is still in a cast and it will be several months yet before he will be around once more a rudder of the day thi late henry ward beeher said the first hour of the day is its rudder it was a shrewd remark but we would so further and say that the first few minutes are extremely im- poiant and often decide the kind of day we will have the old saying about getting up on the wrong side of the bed is more than funny it is true the olb proverb your fet will follow your thoughts means that if you think about a thing long enough you will likely do it thought precedes action there is a remarkable verse in the old testament which reads i know the fruit of your thouchts thoughts are like seeds which grow and develop with the inevitable results in action lcg before i read that brief sentence by becchcr i knew that in my own case the first few minutes of the day set a pattern and it was like getting started on a railway track there is good advice in an old admonition start the day risht some maintain that you cannot select your thoughts they will come in spite of your wishes that is only true to a limited extent life is made up of habits and there are good habits that can be built up until they are tenacious people say bad habits are hard to break but good habits are even stronger you can select your thoughts and the power to do this will grow with custom a lady began to work in a bank but was obsessed with the fear that some day she would fail to detect counterfeit money she confided her fears to the manager he said the first time you handle spurious money a cold shiver will run down your spine just as if you had a cold shower on your spine u that manager may or may not have the right idea but what i do believe is that by the help of god we can all build up a thought life that when negative thoughts beset us fear worry envy resentment or any other a healthy mind will rise up and resist them over the years i have known a vast number of people high- minded and wholesome it was a natural for them to think good thoughts as it is for an expert pianist or a firstclass typist to strike the right key with them healthy cheerful thinking had become a habit strong as steel i am not saying that such people rise above all temptation but what i do believe is that evil whatever form it takes has very little appeal for them we all know that with a ritle there is a distance within which a bullet is dangerous or deadly but after that point the bullets are harmless the dead point of the pullet has been reached the shots are harmless when people start the day right trusting in god and be lieving that he is with them they cannot go far wrong and that other attitude will grow until one is well nigh invincible do you remember that lovely prayer by robert louis stevenson the day returns and brings us the daily round of irritating concerns and duties help us to perform them with laughter and kind faces let cheerfulness abound with industry help us to go blithely on our business all the day bring us to our resting beds weary and content and undishonored and grant us in the end the gift of sleep our quotation today is from psalm 175 1 shall be satisfied when i awake in thy likeness business directory dental neil c smith lds- dds graduate

the sunday school les son 1 know of a number of people who receive much help from it in the issue of february 17 the golden text is illustrated by a picture of christs baptism where john is seen pouring the water on our lords head i thought it might be of in terest to you mr editor and to many of your readers to know that the word the xew testament uses for baptize a greek word baptizo means only one thing immerse when the ancient greeks spoke of a ship sinking they said the ship was baptized that is immersed in the sea that immersion of believers was the practice of the primi tive church is an indisputable fact even the roman catholics who do not immerse admit this fact some years ago in an art icle in one of their leading magazines the sunday visi- torthey state that it is true lhat immersion was the prac tice in the primitive church the practice of pouring or sprinkling water on the can didate came into many of the churches of christendom at an early period because of its con venience not because of scrip tural teaching 1 hope this information may be of help to all concerned thank you mr editor yours trulv 1 rev harold f branton lifce everything about it except she shape
