eaor our editorial comment making its presence known during the past few years the local legion branch has been the subject of some criticism both from non patrons and former members they have been criticized for inactiv ity they have been criticized for a lack of interest in community better ment they have been criticized for their disinterest in welfare work to many the legion does not retain the meaning that it did more than a decade ago we do not propose to criticize or praise the work of the stouffville branch because we do not possess a fair knowledge of its operation either in the community as a whole or with in its own organization critics should remember however that many of the members who comprise this unit have contributed more than their fair share to stouffville and yes to canada many offered their very lives for our community how much more should we as citizens really expect it is only correct to assume that the erection of the legion hall was statistics show with the school term drawing to a close probably many students and their parents have already reached the decision that this is it and that the time has come to step out into the workaday world however second thoughts are in order on decisions of this kind where two years of high school sufficed as grounding in education to hold down fairly good jobs a generation or so ago that no longer holds true today the more education one has the better is the chance to keep out of the a big financial undertaking for the local veterans it is possible that their funds would not permit any ex tensive community projects be this as it may it now appears likely that the legion intends to make its pres ence felt in the village on friday evening it conducted one of the finest fireworks displays- ever held here the colorful show attracted hundreds of children and adults to the park in addition it brought one of the largest presummer crowds to town this spring it is true that financial assistance was forthcoming from the lions club and local businessmen but it was the legion which promoted the performance the legion is now hoping to em bark on another campaign the erection of a war memorial in the park as with the fireworks financial assistance will be needed from other organizations such a cairn should have been built here many years ago it would indeed be gratifying to see the legion get the green light and proceed with the plans education pays ranks of the unemployed latest findings by the national employment service show a definite relationship between unemployment and educa tion

to advertise in your paper running from store to store trying to find what i want wears me out and wastes hours commented a local housewife when visiting this newspaper office i wish nearly all merchants in this town would advertise their pro ducts so that busy people could sit down in their leisure moments and read their advertisements which would tell what they have for sale and where we can get it ive sent to mail order houses many times for things that after wards i found i could have bought at home the city people put a cata logue in my home and tell me what they have and how much it costs i can see why people get the mailorder habit it doesnt always save money but it saves time not many people i know and i wouldnt think of it myself buy groceries that way because the groc ery stores put advertisements in your paper i think that if more merchants advertised every week there would be more people trading at home i know it would sure make a difference with me not necessary

years or so because some parrots live so long it is possible for one bird to have half a dozen homes this is where problems can arise one of the exhibitors who work in a pet shop made his business sound like a child ad- option agency he must show great discretion lr placing his parrots r the distressing thing about a swearing parrot is that it will probably live 100 years and nev er give up the habit it seems you can scold him starve him and threaten to slay him and that cursed parrot will still swear like a drunken sailor so it is not surprizing that re spectable parrot lovers should take a dim view of pollys im purities a group of them got together when their parrots went on dis- ition of cage birds and while the judges listened to these talking birds go through their nice clean nursery rhymes the owners chatter about their problems the environment means everything said one exhibitor a parrot reared in a decent home will develop a similar tern- peramant and vocabularly another suggested that par- rotpsychoyogy should get top priority when he says some thing nice let him know you like iififf of the week umfcse-ie-s- mike rice of detroit i have just been reading again some facts about mike rice of detroit he was rev newton s rice dd pastor of metropolitan methodist church in detroit one of the largest church congregations in the united states with over 7000 members when rev newton rice went to detroit it was a com paratively small town known for its beauty the impact of world war had not yet come and changed it into a dynamic rapidly growing city with a cosmopolitan population the local board of commerce arranged one of its lake cruises and among invited guests was merton rice tall handsome young blackhaired giant few detroiters had ever seen him before but they liked him from the start friendly goodnatured easygoing an extraordinary good mixer with a big head a big voice and a big heart he was more like an overgrown schoolboy than a clergyman but he was perfectly natural no cant or self- conscious piety during the trip it was announced that he was to give the customary address here is an account of it as it appeared in the detroit free press they gathered more out of courtesy and because it was the thing to do then dr rice began speaking right then and there something happened to detroit the handsome giants magnetism the power and the glory of his vision held his audience spellbound and among these was the late ed ward h doyle leading catholic layman of detroit and one of the most sincerely devout christians ever to walk our streets though never quite able to overcome the rough and ready speech he had learned as a boy in the lumber camps when dr rice had finished one of the first to grip his hand was mr doyle my god he cried if you were a member of my church i would nominate you for pope whats your name ms rice answered the startled clergyman could that m by any chance stand for michael de manded doyle no its merton well its mike to me roared the gorgeous e h youre too good not to be irish by eyienfcg dr rice was known as nothing else on ship board but mike and it remained with him unto the end at rotary he was mike and to the vast world which was his larger pulpit he was never known as anything else from then on until his death over thirty years later dr rice was one of the most useful and best loved citizens of detroit there wasnt a good cause with which he did not become identified he could be depended on to throw his weight into every movement for human betterment he never was negative this is why i am writing this article he never ran down anybody if he couldnt say a good word he remained silent sizing up people by the religious group to which they belonged was the last thing he thought of he loved people because they were human beings irrespective of their race or creed when the great drive started to build the metropolitan church the doctor announced that he would not preach in it until it had been paid for every brick and stone the cost was around a million and a half toward the end of the long hard struggle there were days of discouragement the sun day on which it was scheduled to open was just a few days away they still owed 30000 with no place to turn for more aid dr rice went into the church on thursday night alone and in the darkness he prayed to god for guidance and help to finish the task and when he had finished he walked down the long corridor a door opened and there he met one of detroits wealthiest men i had to come over to see you doctor he said i under stand you need more funds here is my signature on a blank check fill it out for what you need to finish the job our quotation today is by dr w s atkinson god needs men just as a tree needs branches here is just on example oc casionally we get a parrot that has been raised in a pub and a clergyman might drop in and take a ifking to the bird now theres a problem mate he said he wouldnt sell it to the clergyman tt wouldnt be fair to the par rot he explained that a parrot used to the noise and crowds in a pub would be bored in a quiet home and there is likely chance he will have picked up such phrases as fill er up guvnor and shut the bloody door dealing with parrots is a highly specialized job he said i proudly the exhibitors say that al- i though parrots are traditionally the worst offenders for swear ing all talking birds have equal potentials for developing the art but it seems other species like the budgerigar usually spend more time with the lad ies their language is more re- j fined i to illustrate this point one j exhibitor took a reporter on a tour of the talking bird section plqr at londons national exhibit and when he starts to swear wanted more cream shippers for best results
