associate editor our editorial comment this friday night is important this friday night is one of the most important nights in the year for the ratepayers of stouffville its annual nomination night when citi zens have an opportunity to nomin ate those members of the community whom they wish to place in offices of importance for 1958 it is said that democracy is wonderful hut it is only wonderful so long as it keeps on finding fault with itself if you have faults to find or suggestions to make for your local government friday nights meeting in the legion hall is the place to be heard last years nomination night turnout was fair fair that is in comparison with recent years but it was far from good enough stouff ville has a population of nearly 2600 persons close to fifteen hundred of them potential attenders we are too easily satisfied one hundred or a hundred and fifty persons out to nominations from this number is not good enough surely more people than this are interested in an opportunity of hear ing current issues discussed or to listen to the 1957 representatives give an account of their stewardship the only conclusion that can be drawn is that only this few people care a hang about how their tax money is spent your council will spend next year some 150000 which is a lot of money even when you say it fast there are always questions on which differences of opinion are bound to arise and a frank expression of opinion by ratepayers is a guide to thoso who face the responsibility of office in the coming year the place for these opinions to be aired is at the nomination meeting streetcor ner grumbling is no effective substi tute for sincere views expressed in an open meeting if you dont like something this is your opportunity to do something about it if you dont attend and mistakes are made your criticism will be a little belated you should attend and on dec 2nd you should vote old hotels are gone motorists using ontario high ways find that the number of motels is multiplying official figures indi cate that one new motel is completed every 10 days in this province new buildings are more elaborate with such extras as broadloom from wall to wall and television sets for enter tainment most people think of these road side hostels as something new the name is a recent invention but the history of a century ago is repeating itself it was in the early 1850s that the first railway line ran through this part of ontario there was a station at guelph but for nearly 20 years the railway tracks did not ex tend into the north country farm produce was brought by wagons from all that territory which had been opened up in the queens bush in the fall and winter long lines of wagons and sleighs came down the roads through fergus and elora to guelph with loads of wheat oats and dressed meat to supply the needs of drivers and their teams roadside hotels mul tiplied there were three in the 13 miles between guelph and fergus seven in fergus village and three more in the 11 miles from fergus to arthur the extension of the railways to lake huron and georgian bay points in the 1870s changed the picture by eliminating the need farmers took their produce a few miles to local railway stations they no longer had to travel up to a hundred miles by road to guelph the number of these roadside hotels 100 years ago was greater than the number of motels in the same area today a few of the old buildings still stand but not one in the townships has been a hotel for years the process of evolution killed them all the hotels of the 1850s made most of their money out of selling whisky and oats neither product is available at the motels of the 1950s fergus newsrecord point for parents f parents who are too prone to find fault with the teacher and side with johnny or jane whenever they are punished at school probably do not realize that by doing so they are gradually losing mastery in their home the danger of this occurring was pointed out by mrs h j mclarnon president of the ontario parent- teachers association when she said that parents who undermine the authority of teachers by siding with their children also undermine their own authority it can be safely assumed in the vast majority of cases that when a child is disciplined at school he or she deserves it we have known instances where the parental policy was to give junior another trimming at home whenever he was punished at school this was probably going to the other extreme but it did make it easier for the teacher to exact obedience and com mand respect for parents only willing worker how often a small child watches mother or dad busy at some task his eagerness to be of use is a precious thing if childs offer of assistance is refused or postponed to some ojhcr day he will be less likely jo want to help another time children dont like to be rc- puffed any more than adults it does take time and patience rtjo include a little boy or girl in

not stop to delegate the beating of the egg or the j greasing of the tins to mary but how much junior and mary ll miss not only in training tp be contributing members of he work of the home but in the

may not realize it but a house where mother docs the childrens beds tidies up and picks up after them is an excellent training ground for her son or daughter to become a selfish husband or a helpless

begun to recognize the heroism of civilians by the bestowal of medals for courage one of the first was the firemans medal frequently called the firemans vc others fohowed for lifeboatmen miners and other callings where unusual acts of bravery were exemplified the idea which soon became popular was based on the knowledge that peace hath her victories no less than war medals have been awarded to humble and obscure civilians for deeds of quiet unspectacular heroism which in former generations would have passed unnoticed this stanza from a wellknown hymn expressed the idea the trivial round the common task will furnish all we need to ask room to deny ourselves a road to bring us daily nearer god there are thousands of names in history of whom we know practically nothing but wish we knew more names of those who flit across the pages and disappear forever this is particularly true of bible history which records the names of hundreds of important nobodies they resemble the people about whom edgar guest wrote they live in modest houses and they work from day to day and the papers never notice what they do or what they say the great mass of human beings never make the headlines of newspapers their honesty and decency is taken for granted and so is their courage and dependabil ity they go about their tasks often carrying heavy burdens and responsibilities about which nobody knows they are the salt of the earth although they themselves would be surprised to know it i knew fairly well the late dr charles gordon ralph connor whose hairraising stories of the cana dian west thrilled so many thirty or forty years ago he told me that he knew of settlers in the west who had adventures equal to his own lives full of colorful adven ture and daring courage but they had never recorded them the lives of millions seem dull prosaic and drab but to a higher intelligence they may be rich in purpose and achievement this is what merton s rice called the distinction of the undistinguished the vast host of ordinary humble people whose names would never be found anywhere except in a telephone directory and per haps not there christopher wren designer of st pauls cathed ral refused to accept the honor builder of st pauls he insisted that every workman on the job had an im portant part in its erection every mason carpenter hod- carrier and other obscure workmen it was a noble tribute of a humble man but basic ally true these men were like the foundation stones of the building itself unseen but necessary the british scientist sir leonard hill said re peatedly that hundreds of obscure men had made possible the advance of medical science by their willingness to be inoculated with poisonous germs so that experiments might be made and knowledge increased in many cases they had died horrible deaths their only motive being that the cause of devastating diseases might be discover ed and overcome a great philosopher once said that it would be impossible to exaggerate the insignificance of any human being no statement could be further removed from christian teaching the core of christs teaching was that in the sight of god all souls are precious the cynical scornful view of human nature is neither biblical nor true to fact even in the old testament that truth was understood and they shall be mine saith the lord in that day when i make up my

usual hour of 230 that afternoon but before that to pay tribute to canadas war dead in two world conflicts the governor general and the prime minister took part in ceremonies first in front of the national war me morial and later that morning in the memorial chamber the ceremony at the cenotaph marked the first for mr diefen- baker as the head of canadas government and as its prime minister mr diefenbaker is also the first canadian prime minis ter to have served in canadas armed forces the prime minis ter fought in world war 1 and was invalided home after fight ing alongside comrades from western canada in the trenches in france later that morning mr dief enbaker together with the gov ernor general and the speakers of both houses of parliament- went to the memorial chamber in the house of commons to take part in the ceremony to dedicate the book of rememb rance to canadas world war 2 dead the new book which has been prepared and beautifully illus trated by a team of canadian artists contains the names of 44891 men and women who died in world war 2 it seemed fitting that later that day douglas jung the first canadian of chinese extraction to be elected to the house of commons should rise to make his maiden speech mr jung a young lawyer and a world war 2 veteran from vancouver was elected to the house of commons june 10 and defeated in doing so the former minister of
