comment th same old story about the same old school the old bloomington public school will get its new oneroom addition from the stories that came out of thursday evenings meeting it would appear that the final rate payers approval has come none too oon only seventeen ballots were cast out of a possible total of 132 although the vote was unanimous it is hardly a true picture of the feeling throughout the entire section those who stayed away will no doubt dis cuss the matter thoroughly over the back fence and into the partyline telephone not being present at previous meetings conducted in the school we have not heard the reasons that were voiced in objection to the project no doubt they were many and varied and perhaps some were well founded from what we observed on a visit to the sixtyyear old structure last week the conditions for both the teachers and the students were the worst in a radius of many miles it is time that rural ratepayers started taking a more broadminded view of their backwood educational facilities at best the bloomington school is nothing more than a mod ernday firetrap it is little wonder that the trustees have had difficulty in obtaining qualified teachers the lighting in the north room is totally- inadequate the washrooms should have been condemned by health au thorities blackboard space is cramp ed and poorly lighted fiftyeight pupils are herded daily into two small rooms separated by a floor to ceiling partition in these days when an education is a must if boys and girls are to develop into mature citi zens of tomorrow we find ratepayers who are willing to sacrifice such a priceless- possession rather than ab sorb a mill rate increase on their tax bills it was plenty good enough for me and its good enough for them thats a wellworn slogan that has been repeated many times at district ratepayers meetings times have changed however in the past quarter century a solid public school edu cation is now considered only a step ping stone along the path toward an enterprising career or profession our arena is envied by other townsfolk the stouffville arena has been the centre of many an envied glance cast by residents in comparable towns throughout the district since its erection some nine years ago the local winter sports palace has con tinued to prosper and this summer the final mortgage debt was com pletely wiped out while other com munityowned arenas continue year ly to wallow deep in the red ink the stouffville rink has shown a good annual profit in addition the town gains over 700 per year taxes from the centre when plans for a new arena here were first proposed a decade ago there were those who cast a pessimis tic eye on the sanity of such a multi- thousand dollar proposal since its erection many similar rinks have been built in metrotoronto and sur rounding areas but the influx of arti ficial ice has had little or no effect on stouffvilles busy winter schedule last year ice rentals alone netted the rink a total of 1340635 man ager w t rennie informed the tribune this week that current re quests for ice time next winter sug gest another excellent season i in the offing in order to give credit where credit is due we feel that manager kennie should take a bow he is the man who books ice time for visiting clubs and arranges the weekly sched ules for home town teams at times he has been severely criticized for his tightfisted moneyontheline pol icies like any other business the arena must show a profit at the end of the fiscal year we all should be proud of our arena its interior is as immaculate today as it was when completed nine years ago both adults and children alike have enjoyed many hours of funfilled recreation within its doors from its ice lanes have come cham pions finalists and semifinalists all this and more must be attributed to the foresight of a few staunch citi zens a gamble that paid off knowledge or ignorance we the common ordinary public are supposedly a race of experts at a fire we are all qualified firemen at an accident we are all graduate phys icians at a collision we are all ex perienced police officers if the case history of each individual is known it would no doubt be learned that the majority of us are rank amateurs at best on sunday afternoon at shadow lake north of stouffville an eight year old lad was a drowning victim it was rather pathetic to learn that the boys chance of survival might have been greater if public interfer ence had not interrupted the adminis tration of artificial respiration when the youth was first brought ashore it was just another case where the knowitall public turns out to be professional knownothings in this instance it may have cost a boy his life that bull can kill safety makes sense is a slogan for farm safety week which is be ing observed from july 13 25 with the object of reducing the toll of farm accidents in canada an es timated 1200 dead each year and 100000 injured one elementary bit of safety sense which is often over looked is that powerful animals should be handled with caution at all times an angry bull or a frightened horse can snuflf out a mans life in seconds if handled carelessly or in competently even smaller farm ani mals can inflict serious injuries of fatal accidents that occur on farmlands and around service build ings one in twenty is caused by ani mals two obvious ways to reduce the danger are check and repair all livestock equipment and keep child ren away from animals at all times wild carrol i i although wild carrot dau- eus carota may be a thing of beauty to city people to the j farmers of ontario it is a real problem states the field crops brnch ontario dept of agrij culture in ontario its spread has been alarming and where only a few plants show up in any year very soon we find that this serious pest has taken over and can be found in abundance tn the early stages wild car- rot resembles the garden car rot butas it grows none of the m or virtue of thi plant persist during thp latter part of may and early june it can be found close to the ground j cluster measures up to four inches and being white is a thing of beauty at a later date i it folds up and resembles a birds nest the seeds arc spread by wind water and drifting snow it can generally be found on rough land or unworked fields and in older hay meadows i and fence rows it thrives onj roadsides and from these loca tions spreads to adjoining fields i is rarely seen in cultivated land cutting is not the best method of control as new flowers will be produced on very short stalks spraying with 24 d using from 12 to 16 ounces of acid per acre will give control in j most areas but some plants resistant to this treatment are readily controlled by the same rates of brushkiller enough material should be used to pene- j irate to the young leaves hidden by the grass after a first -ppli- j cation in early june a second spray can also be used early in september when the young plants can be found at ground level in this way the following years crop of carrot can be de- stroyed if we can keep wild carrot from setting seed we can control this serious post i here is

clergyman of a generation ago said there are two kinds ot blushes of which people are capable personal and social if a man upsets a bowl of soup over a ladys dress he is ashamed of his awkwardness and blushes furiously that blush is personal the culprit humbly apologizes on the other hand if a man lives in a city which has a bad reputation say a high criminal record he is more or less sellconscious about it he feels that in some vague way he is responsible for the citys condition this is a social blush and it is a healthy sign to what extent are we responsible for the moral health of the community in which we live the apostle paul said we do not live unto ourselves our lives arc interwoven and interlocked with other lives they influence us and we influ ence them even if we wanted to do it we cannot disclaim responsibility if someone does a praiseworthy siiing all his neighbours feel that in some degree the glory falls on them they say proudly hes from my home town even though they didnt take mitch notice of him when he was here they are keen to make up for it everybody wants to get on the band wagon in the first book of the bible there is the sordid story of cain and abel and cains question am i my brothers keeper has been reechoed by millions since his day the answer is yes each one is his brothers keeper we have no more right to ignore him than the priest and the levite had to pass by the wounded man in the parable of the good sam aritan if it were known that a man saw his neighbours house on fire and ignored it because he didnt start it everybody would condemn him for his selfish indifference and his own conscience would make life a hell for him there such a tiling as the sin of omission dr frank boreham says that all the villains in christs parables were people who did nothing when they should have done something they were people who sidestepped respon sibility by saying they preferred to mind their own business think of these the rich man and lazarus the servant who buried his talent in the earth the priest and the levite in a typical story a villain is a man who does what he ought not to do in the parables of jesus a villain is one who leaves undone what he ought to have done there is a deeper sense of responsibility today than at any previous time fewer people believe that religion is en tirely made up of singing hymns making prayers and preach ing or listening lo sermons practically all the service chilis and fraternal organizations have worthwhile projects which call for sacrifice and generosity it is all to the good whether it be helping a widow and her children or cleaning up a neglected cemetery they supplement in a fine way the work of the christian church tjhoy confirm that old testament say ing there is a spirit in man and the inspiration ol the almighty giveth them understanding every man belongs to every other man and there can be no such thing as spiritual isolation if ever a church or a group of churches thought only of themselves their deathknell would be sounded as wendell philips said we please god not by selfish endeavours but by forgetting ourselves into immortality our quotation today
