jas thomas associate editor our editorial comment are we priced out of the market is the land in and around stouff ville becoming too expensive for in dustry to buy we only pose this question as a number of facts have come to lisrht this year which causes one to wonder as far back as last fall a mem ber of pickering township council asserted in a public council meeting that farmers were pricing their land out of the market for industrial pur poses last spring an oshawa firm visited stouffville with a view to establishing a plant here the firm representative later visited this writ er and stated that the land here was double the price which serviced land could be obtained on the outskirts of oshawa needless to say the factory went elsewhere again this spring a new plant was established on the 8th con of markham in a rural area efforts to locate this firm within the boundaries of the villages of markham or stouff ville came up with the same result the land was too expensive it would appear that the honey moon is over and the day of fabu lous prices for local land has passed true such agencies as schools are still paying a big price for land they have no alternative but when it comes to industry which has a choice its a buyers market and unless the land can be made available at a reasonable figure it will not be sold a large developer of both resi dential and industrial land advises us that millions are being held in various city banking establishments by for eign industrial firms ready for the movement of their concerns to this country however these investors are looking much farther afield than toronto and stouffville for cheaper land he tells us good serviced land can be bought in western ontario towns for less than a thousand dol lars an acre only recently we visited one of these ontario towns of some 3500 population where 60000 had been invested in a farm on the edge of town and this land was being offered with services to the property line to industry this is tough competi tion for municipalities such as stouff ville which has little land to offer and what there is is in the higher price bracket patronize local tradesmen its much more economical whatever the outcome of the case against the london man who is charged with false pretenses in con nection with the repair of chimneys and roof of a hensall home the in cident proves again that it is always wiser usually more economical and certainly more satisfactory to employ a local tradesman to do your repair ing rather than hiring a firm with which you are not familiar whether the man is guilty or not the price he charged was more than three times the estimates sub mitted by two district tradesmen who were witnesses for the crown the city man charged 451 the es timates from the district men ranged between 140 and 150 in this particular oase it should be pointed out that the proprietors of the house did negotiate with a local man to have the job done when he did not appear at the prearranged time to start the work they employed the london man in good faith a number of people in stouffville have had to pay excessive charges for work done by transient trades men it is hoped that these exper iences in addition to the one in hen sall have been sufficiently publicized that no other resident will become a victim to these opportunists we hope all homeowners will be careful about gfving authority to unknown firms to perform such services part of the problem of course is that such unethical incidents cast suspicion on all tradesmen or firms who do similar work this is most unfair because the majority of them are responsible and honest probably the most satisfactory and economical protection for the homeowner in such cases is to secure references from the person who is bidding for the job a quick check with those who have had experience in dealing with the firm will usually reveal its reliability high moments in life once when the scotch philosopher thomas carlyle was in charge of the humble cottage in the highlands where he lived with his parents a shabby beggar came to the door seeking assistance the lad was too young to prepare a meal but he had a moneybox he opened the box and gave the distressed man all he had many years later in thinking of his life he wrote that out burst of childish goodwill was my first idea of heaven i have seldom been as happy as when i poured into the beggars hand all i had in the world probably the lad did not realize the connection be tween the two but the old philosopher knew that the generous impulse was the meaning of heaven and it was a lesson he never forgot it is when we forget ourselves that we enter into a condition that brings supreme happiness i once talked with a man in england who had been used by god to do much good he told me that when he was a little lad he was sent by his mother to buy some tea he saw a church door open and a missionary meeting was in progress the speaker gave some idea of conditions in africa where he had spent several years the boy was carried away by the speaker and put the price of the tea on the offering plate and had to try to explain to his mother where the money had gone she was a sensible woman and commended her boy on his generosity we all have high moments and later we recognize they were occasions when we were at our best when the famous writer a e benson was very near to death during a serious illness he wrote that which gave me pleasure was not the fact that i was the author of several books and was distinguished in many ways but that over a lengthy period i had taught a class of boys in a local sunday school and had given them all i had in the way of downright service many seemed deeply signi ficant the philosopher herbert spencer discovered a de vice by which he could stop his ears and remain deaf to the people who bored him no doubt we have often felt the need of closing off meaningless conversation perhaps we shut our ears to much that is important and engage in mere trash we read that god gave solomon large ness of heart m it is a great gift when god opens the hearts of men to sympathy and understanding and makes men quick to respond to the cries of those who need them hlfh moments come to all of us but only god can reveal that is worthwhile and important our quotation today is by dr hugh black end ef life is the test of life the london letter london england august has certainly contin ued its record of being one of the most unreliable months of the year for weather here in london for we have practical ly experienced the lot except for frost and snow this year rain plenty of it storms extremely heavy at times and gales almost to hurricane force just over a week ago causing floods and damage almost everywhere warm even hot days and cold days but despite the weather there has been plenty to entertain everyone sport naturally has taken first place the 5th test match at the oval which eng land won easily the great ath letic match between great brit ain and russia which was a real treat for all of us who saw it at the white city where the running of farrell in the 400 metre hurdles of wood in the 1500 metres higgins in the 400 metres pirie and ibbotson in the 5000 metres and diane leather in the 800 metres brought the crowd of forty thousand to rheir feet in tremendous excitement also the serpentine regatta not forgetting the opening of the football season on aug 24 yes its certainly been a month packed full of interest of course if one wanted other attractions there is the festival ballet at the festival hall and the bons at the albert hall not forgetting the tattoo or go with me to the happy atmosphere of hamp ton heath to see the boys from 8 to 80 sailing their boats of all descriptions on the white stone pond which is near jack straus castle then just a short dis tance along the road is the at tractive open air display of paintings hundreds of them where you can get a black and white portrait or a colured one xo need to go away without a souvenir of your visit to happy hampstcad unfortunately we seem also to have each week some small little girl missing and often they are found too late another one missing from norwood se and in spite of hundreds of po licemen and thousands of help ers no trace has yet been found i of this 4yearold edwin taylor j best wishes to you all wal i laff of the week every day reveals nmt fasclnaunjr aew leet of yor yeraonalitj for parents only children and money have you often agreed with the quotation used by bacon money is a good servant but a bad master is your child learning this money is import ant in a childs world as well as in an adults how does your child get the money he wants by asking you for every cent at the time from an allowance from gifts from relatives by earning it another vital ques tion which you as parents should consider is how does your child think of money his ideas are bound to be colored to a great extent by your own atti tude to it in your home do mother and father work together as part ners in planning the family bud get are you good managers do you spend too freely are you on the miserly side do you act as if money is the most im portant thing in life which can buy everything you want or do you look on money as a tool to be used wisely in building a good life parents keep coins out of a babys reach so he wont put a copper in his mouth the dan ger of choking is too great mon ey fascinates a small child he likes to handle it put it into little piles pretend to count it it is fun to play store with real money but being a child he is apt to hide it in a safe place and forget where he put it or lose it altogether children soon learn that grownups attach special import ance to money little margaret finds her mothers purse on the bureau one day and takes the compact out to play with it mother is amused at the powder on her chin the next day mar garet is delighted to find coppers to play with loose in mothers purse the child is surprised when mother is annoyed and scolds her for touching her money mother and dad should not leave purses or change lying around the house a small child with no real idea of stealing may be used by an older neigh bours child to take this money out to him then they both can go on a spending spree with the younger child warned not to tell children realize at an early age that money gives them by ntncy cleaver the power to purchase candy or ice cream or other desirable treats children learn to handle mon ey through their own experien ces that is why an allowance begun about the time a child starts to school is so important even if it must be a small am ount five or six cents a week junior should receive a definite sum at a certain time on a set day he can do as he likes with this money his allowance is not taken away as a punishment nor is he forced to set aside part of his money as savings when children are given an allowance they do not have to whine or bargain for spare cash parents should not pay money as a reward for good behavior or high marks neither should a child be paid for home chores these are part of the childs contribution to the family wel fare but payment can be made for extra tasks quite apart from regular home duties it is unreasonable to ask a child to save for technical train ing or a college education a child discovers that he must de ny himself the pleasure of buy ing one thing if he wants to save and have the fun of pur chasing a different object impatience is a youthful char acteristic and saving has to be for a goal which can be reached before too long the total am ount of savings for a young child should be small the les son of discipline is lost if the child borrows the additional sum he needs from and indulg ent parent pay as you go is a sound slogan financial authorities in can ada are concerned over the rap id expansion of consumer credit last year consumers borrowing reached a record high of 2469 million if children are pressur izing parents into buying art icles they want on time the june bulletin of the canadian association of consumers lists important points to consider be fore borrowing the pros and cons of buying on credit would make a good topic for discussion in a family council where there are older school age children in the home copyright

factually expresses it farm machines designed and built to make farm life more rewarding and productive havecost our agricultural in dustry a great deal in terms of lost fingers arms time and even lives with the revolution taking place down on the farm in the direction of mechanical power especially during the past fifteen years the above editorial warn ing is apt and very timely only last month i saw a ghastly farm casualty list prepared by the wellposted us dept of agri culture spotlighting the dismal fact that within the 5year per iod 19511955 no less than 70000 people on us farms lost their lives on the farms on rural roads and in farm homes ie a yearly accident death roll of 14000 americans men women and children at work in the nations fields barns and rural homes farm journal much is appearing these days in the newspapers daily week ly and farm press intimating that the farm people in the us and canada have not been sharing as they should in the general prosperity i think this fact merits top level attention now rather than permitting things to drift into the valley of depression but the point i want to make clear stems from the above edi torial dealing with the mechani zation of agriculture perhaps i can compress the picture into a few lines thus a value of farm capital invested in imple ments and machinery 1951 fig ures is officially listed as being 51334000000 on canadian farms from coast to coast from quick canadian facts 1957 and yet one of the farm editors quotes the farm implement sales in canada at wholesale prices according to the dominion bu reau of statistics as follows in millions of dollars for the years shown 1955155 1954146 1953238 1952250 and 1951 235 making a total for the period of 1024000000 in addi tion the farmers invested a fur ther 150000000 on repairs and spare parts and retail markup in those same five years both in terms of lives and money our mechanized agricul ture is both costly and increas ingly dangerous cheap
