newspapers association member of the audit bureau of circulations authorized u mcon4uu null pojtosea depl ottawa printed and issued every thursday at stouffville ont in canada 350 elsewhere 5450 c hkohn publisher lis thorns associate editor laff of the week cnr granting concession here possibly very few residents of stouffville are aware that the canadian national railways express department is presently granting a concession to stouffville in the fact that express parcels will be delivered into new subdivisions despite the fact that the houses are not numbered this fact often works considerable inconvenience on the express man who cannot be expected to know just where all our new- residents live or to keep up with the rapid changes of both owners and tenants the present railway express contract was based on the municipality of stouffville prior to any annexa tion or the establishing of any subdivisions and in the rapidlyexpanding area around toronto and it is an unwritten rule that they cannot deliver to un numbered homes in new subdivisions which are grow ing up by the score however since stouffville is not a large municipal ity and it appears to be cutting the line rather thinly to discriminate against the residents in our sub divisions the railway has agreed to deliver anywhere in the municipality the idea or request that the houses be numbered is not an unreasonable one when one stops to consider the growth and fluctuating popu lation and it is a matter which may have to be con- aidered on a municipal scale before too many years on reading newspapers p g hamerton in his little book intellectual life tells of a man who told him that he did not believe in reading newspapers he made the charge against them that they dealt too much in sensational matters and claimed that the 500 hours or so a year which he ordinarily spent on reading them could be used to better purpose in more select reading someone has said somewhere in stating the value of the newspaper that ones mind needed checking up as the business mans ledger did and that this could be done best by the information given in the press in some ways there is no more welcome visitor to a home than the paper people read it who do not read books and who do not attend church indeed for some it is their most important point of contact with their community province country and the world at large it is a regular and friendly visitor and its various departments have something to interest the several members of the household mr hamerton in the book referred to shows the place the newspaper fills in the life of people for one thing it is to the public what the conversation of a home is to the inmates of that home there they discuss domestic affairs exchange ideas discuss vital matters so the newspaper provides a medium for the exchange of ideas and matters that concern all the people are ventilated besides it tells the achievements of our day registers progress the cares the thoughts and the aspirations of the great families of nations are spread out upon the printed page we read of the adventures of the people who made what we now call europe and america these places are still in the making we see them reaching out their hands to one another and we follow their great trade routes and note their reactions to the crises of our time the french peasant of hamertons day did not read the papers and so was out of touch with contem porary life the paper is an auxiliary to history in fact what the african traveller did for the mapmaker the paper does for history and the historians of to morrow will search the files of the papers issued today it has been pointed out that people respect history when bound in leather and overlook the chronicle of present day affairs among the services rendered is that of friendli ness it tells the people of one another and has done as much as any agency to end isolation then what contributes more effectively to what we may call a profitable entertainment that leads us to another valuable service rendered by the newspaper the advertising columns of the favorite family newspaper not only stimulates sales for business people but saves time and money for those who buy as a result of advertisements many are able to do their shopping in the comfort of their own home here they can compare values at their leisure consider their needs and prepare their shopping lists it is a wellknown fact that best values will always be found in the advertisement which is held up for comparison car insurance rates up motorists generally will not be very happy to learn that the cost of automobile insurance is to take another jump in 1957 already the insurance com panies have announced that the new rates will be seven per cent higher than the present figure we hope however that this increase in the cost of operating a motor vehicle will cause many automobile owners to ponder over the question of why periodic raises in these rates are necessary the cost of automobile insurance bears a direct relationship to the incidence of automobile accidents on the streets and highways of the province when the amount of the claims paid for such accidents reaches a point at which the business is no longer actually sound then the rates have to go up it can be assumed that every car accident means the paying of damage claims sometimes when there are deaths and injuries involving medical and hospital costs the amounts which have to be paid out by the insurance companies reach a sizable figure these are the things which cause insurance rates to go higher year by year it would therefore seem that in order to keep the eost of insurance down the incidence of accidents must first come down but motorists are the most inconsistent people in the matter of insurance they would not go out and murder a relative so as to collect inaurance money as a beneficiary they very seldom burn their houses down to collect the insurance they do not invite personal accidents just to cash in on insurance policies yet these same people for some strange reason lose att sense of judgment regarding their car insur ance they will drive without regard for others using the highways and streets they will take all kinds chances and deliberately drive at excessive speeds nd the limits allowed by the law then when have an accident and are questioned about it i- syirug their shoulders and say so what jrsured oshawa times k see end of cold lunches the soggy lunch box sand wich may wind up as a museum display of how grandpa used to i new years day

that often we shall meet situations which harass and distress us we ought to know that much of the worry is futile and unnecessary in the book of acts chapter 12 there is an account of peters deliverance from prison by the assistance of an angel with a heart full of fear and misgiving the apostle passed through the first and the second gate and then approached the iron gate here is the scriptural account of what happened they came upon the iron gate that leadeth unto the city which opened to them of its own accord and they went out and passed on through one street there are hundreds of books written about the utter futility of worry and thousands of sermons have been preached on the subject the sad truth is that many of those who write the books or preach the sermons often find it hard to take their own advice that doesnt mean the advice is futile it does indi cate how much harder it is to practise than to preach not only is it useless but it is dangerous it unfits us to meet the very experience we dread i once knew a student in england who had to face a difficult examination it was a critical one for him in more ways than one as the day drew near he became more and more nervous and soon after the written exam began he was taken ill had to leave the room and of course was not allowed to return it was a perfect example of how worry saps the strength we often say that some are born worriers it is true that there are men and women who have that tendency yet in their better moods these people laugh at themselves they know from experience what they have previously suffered from scare crows and so hope begins to glimmer one of the loveliest poems i know on this subject is by karle wilson baker i love the friendly faces of old sorrows i have no secrets that they do not know they are so old i think they have forgotten what bitter words were spoken long ago i hate the cold stern faces of new sorrows who stand and watch and catch me all alone i should be braver if i could remember how different the older ones have grown we must learn to live one day at a time otherwise we shall have no peace of mind it is certain that we cannot carry todays burden and tomorrows burden with todays strength vs newspapers told recently of an old couple who happily celehrated the sixtieth anniversary of their wedding supposing on the morning of their marriage day they had been shown a list of all the troubles that lay ahead of them it isnt likely they would have had courage to go on with it but the trials came one at a time and they were given strength to meet them all jesus taught us to say give us this day our daily bread dr archibald alexander a scottish preacher tells this story the railway into edinburgh from the east goes through a long tunnel just before coming into the city now there was a certain old lady who lived in the country who had a great dread of this long dark tunnel and so though her friends laughed at her and tried to tease her out of it she always used to get out at abbeyhill before the tunnel and go into town by car one day when the train reached abbeyhill she was sleeping and her friends did not wake her so she passed through the tunnel she so much feared in her sleep and never knew it and when she opened her eyes she was in the midst of the city during the next few days millions will pass on the wish a happy new year i like to hear it even if it does become a little perfunctory in spite of all the talk of war and rumours of war there is more good will in the world than ever more desire to understand each other and bear one anothers burdens to all who read this i say a happy new year and god bless you ures the town is getting trade on the toronto train christmas today that a few years ago eve loaded with citv
