thomas associate editor our editorial comment cant voice opinion we do not feel qualified to voice an opinion on the important farm plebiscite to be held this friday with our limited knowledge of hog market ing such an opinion is something which must rest with the producer the marketing board and opposing forces it is up to the voters who will have to abide by the outcome to de termine what they wish to do the one thing we can do in con nection with the matter is to urge all farmers to participate in the vote they are familiar with the situation they know from experience its merits or demerits and it is up to them to act in their own best interests a full turnout at the polls in each surrounding township will de cide the issue as fairly as democratic procedure permits by majority vote the marketing plan requires a sixty- six and twothirds percent yes vote if it is to stay in effect a small vote in a matter of this kind is most un satisfactory because it gives minority a chance to take advantage of apathy and carry a cause which may be gen erally unpopular or not in the general interest the teachers job education minister dunlops re cent suggestion for an 11month year for high school teachers in the pro vince is not likely to meet with en thusiastic approval from the teachers themselves to the ordinary citizen the pro posal seems to have some merit a vacation period lasting over two months does seem to be just a little too much of a good thing while the ministers suggestion that certain special tasks could be handled while the students were on holiday also might have value the argument is bound to be ad vanced that a teachers job is a tax ing one especially on the nerves and that a longer holiday is needed or that the extra time allows many to improve their scholastic standing mr dunlops idea is probably only being considered now and ex haustive study is necessary before any concrete moves are planned hair metro expansion recent predictions by dr e g faludi the noted town planner and suburb designer regarding the future development of metro should certain ly be food for serious thought by everyone throughout this area he forecast that by the time todays pre school children graduate from high school metro toronto will sprawl over 6000 square miles from lake ontario to georgian bay and from oshawa to the credit river dr faludi also predicted giant helicopters for commuters atomic factories in big parks through ways circling the city to skyscraper gar ages and 3000000 metro citizens living in new homes new highways may bring a num ber of established urban centres closer in travelling distance to each other and to the metropolitan area of tor onto it will have a profound impact upon the form size and character of most of the villages and towns in the regional area and may give rise to a completely new urban concentration if indications are this noted planners predictions are accurate then its none too soon to begin con sidering appropriate action to pro tect the local autonomy of the indi vidual municipalities throughout the county of york any move to push the present metro boundaries north ward to georgian bay should be strenuously opposed by everyone making up the continuing county of york the expansion of metro can only result in a definite curtailment of local selfgovernment in favour of a large overall super government the province should guarantee the rights and revenues of the smaller municipalities located on the fringe of the metro area the municipalities themselves should band together and prepare to present a united front to any annexation move by metro however apart from the threat ened loss of local autonomy the muni cipalities can to a large extent decide their own future barring a serious turn in our economic fortunes we can expect greater growth both in and outside the metro area in the years that lie ahead in order to guide this growth along proper channels and balance the economy the fringe muni- cipalities will have to apply them selves with diligence and persever ance if the municipalities handle their affairs in an efficient and busi nesslike manner then it cant be sug gested that they be absorbed into metro in order to solve their financial difficulties this was one of the main arguments behind the decision which resulted in the setting up of metro in 1954 no municipality should allow de velopment to advance to a point where it experiences difficulty in pro viding essential services develop ment should be orderly with proper balance between residential and in dustrial growth now is the time for the fringe municipalities to plan in telligently and decide how they will face this future growth whatever the future brings it will require dyna mic and spirited municipal leadership from the tribune files from the tribune july 22 1926 haying is well advanced and the yield is much better than was estimated three weeks ago the stouffville planing mill

ship of farm safety week farm life in ontario has be come increasingly complex due largely to the intensive mechani zation of the industry as a re sult emphasis has been placed by the department on the hand ling of farm equipment through 4h tractor clubs and the agri cultural engineering extension service a further step toward ex panding our program of service has been taken with the estab lishment of a farm safety com mittee within the framework of the department of agricul ture one of the first steps to be taken was the decision to institute a farm accident survey on a provincewide basis it is hoped that the information gained will materially assist in the development of a program directed to safety on the farm under the direction of a farm safety council it is my sincere hope that by this means and with the co operation of all safetyminded citizens that the tragic deaths and accidents on ontario farms will be materially decreased is the recession receding laff of the week im only cnfeocoai mii seat wouldnt kelp yoa micu btt jju6-se-lye-s- gentle men i have been thinking of an old man i knew when a lad he was bent nearly double and walked along the streets with hands behind his back he seemed to suffer from curvature of the spine or some kindred ailment he was a great favourite with everybody but especially with children i have never known a kinder and more unassuming person he had no ambition to be thought of other than as a humble christian yet by sheer transparent goodness he became probably the bestloved man in a town of about 30000 people i left england before he died but friends told me that his funeral was one of the largest ever held there he was a member of one of the prot estant churches but children from all the schools in cluding the roman catholic followed his body to its last restingplace in a local cemetery he never held office in any of the local organizations he was the humblest man in town he did teach in sunday school sometimes sophisti cated lads would draw his attention to passages in the bible that seemed vulgar he looked pained but patient as he tried to explain their place in scripture but his sheer purity of life shamed the youths and increased their respect for him i had at that time some office in a band of hope temperance society several times he came and spoke to the children he was no orator but i shall never forget his earnestness as he stood before the children modestly dressed but completely carried away with his subject by some strange law of the spiritual life even restless youngsters understood he spoke as did the master with authority the word gentlemen has come to have a meaning suggesting social prestige old tommy herron never earned more than enough to keep himself in decent clothes and maintain a frugal style of living but if by gentlemen we mean kindness culture and goodwill he qualified one hundred percent all kinds of people sought his advice although he had very little formal schooling no man i have known made me think so much of that striking sentence saint paul used when writing to the corinthians love seeketh not her own that was it he never would have said ill have my own he did not insist even on his rights it wasnt what he did or said but what he was that counted he lived a selfless life he was that rarity a gentle man i have known quite a lot of men like this obscure humble but dependable they are the salt of the earth although they would be the last people in the world to think it but there they are like the foundation stones of a bridge unseen but necessary people like tommy herron whether they are men or women make me think of jesus a lot of belligerent- minded people try to make us think that jesus was assertive and capable of anger they are constantly quoting that incident when jesus made a scourge and drove the money changers out of the temple from that they work out a system in which jesus was a heman as they term it subject to passionate outbursts not long ago a man who heard me preach on the gentleness of jesus wrote me a pretty scornful letter in which he said i made jesus out to be a sissy he went on to say what he thought jesus would say and do in certain emergencies it was a different jesus in which i had always believed jesus was gentle and forgiving tolerant and selfless he was quiet patient and strong with a sensitive regard for the weakness and frailty of others furthermore i believe that those who live closest to him will likewise be gentle a bombastic christian is a contradiction in terms
