r9 2 the stouffviui towns limit umtn 5 yma editorial conservation parks there are many projects and pri motion approved by metro boards which although they absorb a share of the focal ux dollar are of little visible benefit to the average citizen we honestly feel that metropolitan toronto and region conservation authority is above this type of crit icism we contend that this organ ization has done a marvelous job one need only to drive a few miles to the west north or east to witness the results of a few years foresight and planning it was therefore with some considerable surprise and dis appointment that we heard the policy of the authority come under rather sharp criticism from the reeve of pickering township mr sherman scott we realize that he must protect the interests of his taxpayers but we feel he should look a little further than his own backyard when he con demns the present policy of the con servation board we agree that hun dreds of cars weekly from urban areas travel over the road leading to the greenwood park but by the same token do not hundreds of pickering residents commute daily to work over roads in toronto and oshawa if each municipality wishes to retain something is cedarena the popular pleasure skating rendezvous at cedar grove has been in full swing for a number of weeks now but something strange ly is lacking in the saturday night program that has been a familiar part of the openair activities in past winter months- piping hot coffee and sugarcoated doughnuts are no more at least not for free we do not know the reason be hind the cancellation of this late- evening practice the rinklong coffee lineup was as symbolic of cedarena as the glittering stars the full moon or the frosty northwest wind the majority of skaters would have even sacrificed the stars the moon and the wind but there is little replacement for hoi coffee and doughnuts on a cold an important project its roads for residents only perhaps a system of toll gates might solve the problem to date the authority has kept a very elos count on the number of cars and passengers that frequent the parks every year it might prove interesting if it was learned just how many pickering twp residents make use of the greenwood park we agree that no country side- road is constructed to withstand the abuse of bumpertobumper traffic but it should be made known to one and all that the entire expenditure for construction and maintenance of the greenwood road is not squeezed from the coffers of pickering township a liberal government subsidy ja made available to assist in such pro grams it has been suggested that a park similar to the greenwood pro ject will come up for approval before the conservation authority board very shortly it will be located south east of claremont reeve scott will hold an important vote on this scheme his stand on the matter could transform some 300 acres of property into a recreational play ground or leave it stagnant as it now stands today missing winters night one could always smell the coffee brewing around ten oclock at 1015 almost in unison every skater young old and in between would form a queue separated from the doughnut loaded sleigh by a trusty sling rope it was strictly cafeteria style if you missed your turn you returned home both hungry and thirsty quite often the coffee was enriched through the addition of a woolen mitten or a cow hide glove but no one ever cared that was the cedarena of 1959 the cedarena of 1960 still attracts the capacity crowds the moon still 3hines the stars still glitter and the northwest wind still blows but coffee laff of the week and doughnuts past are a thing of the little attention paid it was never more obvious than during this present winter that resi dents pay little or no heed to the town bylaw in stouffville which re quires them to remove the snow from their walks by ten oclock in the morning following a storm we must certainly agree with defeated council candidate allan sangster that bylaws without teeth might as well be scrap ped and that our snow removal by law might as well have the heave ho unless council is going to see that walks are inspected and residents re quired to abide by the law his com plaint that some folks had to shovel and some did not of course has no foundation in fact we make this statement as we happen to know that an ablebodied relief recipient in town has never shovelled his walk and he eould i scarcely be put in the sacred cow class be that as it may there certainly is a serious lack of attention given to the walks and we should have some action along this line in larger centres repeated refusal to wield a shovel on fallen snow will bring a court summons burying those following the recent ice storms which struck severely in this part of the province much has been said again of the proposal to bury all over head wires most people agree that it would be a wonderful thing but there seems little concrete done about it while to tackle the immediate burying of all present overhead wires would present a colossal task at least a start could be made by burying all new installations and working on the remainder on a longterm basis to clear the streets of all over head installations would not only re move further hazard in ice and wind storms which are costly but would remove the threat of expensive in terruptions in power and telephone snow bylaw cities have found it highly effec tive to have a policeman sent to the home of an offender and inform him that he is liable to a charge the strain on aching backs in removing snow and ice in case you are one who believes in obeying the law can be eased by following a few simple rules it might seem obvious that you need a snow shovel to remove snow but a lot of folks have been observed using spades coal scoops and even brooms so first of all get a snow shovel andor a snow scoop the scoop works well on unpacked fresh snow use the shovel for heavier stuff if you get only one pick a light weight shovel with a reinforced edge for breaking through hardpacked snow keep the shovel waxed or even lightly oiled this prevents snow from sticking eases and speeds the job if you find the snow frozen underfoot it may be wiser to scatter rock salt and calcium chloride on the surface of the ice overhead wires service to say nothing of the im provement in the appearance of the streets this latter benefit is very noticeable in the old country where at least since the war few overhead lines are visible in a town such as our own we are presently operating a similar plan on roads all new roads must be paved which means that little by- little the remaining gravel thorough fares will be replaced by permanent top roads a scheme to bury hydro lines was proposed almost three years ago by ross strike ontario hydro vice chairman little has been heard of the idea since- the problem has been given new urgency by the recent crippling

ordinarily there is always a special excitement in starting on a journey ive been on a few in my time and on each occasion there have been the same sensations anti cipation stimulation and some thing akin to fear ive started another one and recognize the symptoms my first journey was when i was sixteen and got my first job it entailed hitchhiking 400 miles all alone to get to it that was quite an experience for a kid whod never been any where or seen anything its a good way to see a fair chunk of life in a hurry hitchhiking across the country with 285 on your pocket there was no letdown in the climax of that journey the huge boat was there tied to the vast dock the stevedores were filling her innards hundreds of people were bustling around knowing what they were doing and i was standing there mouth open stomach churning with the knowledge that id soon be part of it and a whole new life was beginning then there was the first trip to colloyc what a deal that was for a smalltown boy clad in a cheap suit and a deep inferiority complex those other freshmen looked so sophisticated those girls looked so unapproachable there was no anticlimax then either soon there was the exhil arating exploration of the minds of great men living and dead and the fun of playing in the varsity band and being on the college football team and work ing on the varsity newspaper and making all sorts of odd friends and falling in love once or twice a week all of it was heightened by the beginning of war and the certain knowledge that college days would be brief the next trip a short one to the recruiting office triggered several years of exciting jour neys and not one of them was a disappointment the first was a hilarious hitchhiking jaunt fo new york with three other potential air heroes we had about 20 each and did the city up brown one of my mates can still boast that he spewed the entire length of broadway out a cab window we averaged 3 hours sleep a night a cigarette girl in some joint promised to write me and never did next excursion was a big one across the atlantic the only salt water id ever seen before was some my mother made me gargle with when i was a kid all i remember of the crossing is seasickness submarine scares and a big 24houraday crap game but what a thrill it was to see the coast of ireland just as it was when my greatgrand father shook its dust off his feet which were probably bare at the time then the first journey to lon don on leave i thought i was a blase young man but my heart was pounding like a maidens as the train rolled into that vast smoky metropolis the heart of the empire what a city k was then before the yanks took over by sheer force of numbers sailors and soldiers and airmen of every allied nation beautiful women everywhere and in the very air that special excitement which only a war can produce sadly enough and more journeys each stim ulating in lt own way meeting new people finding old pubs in scotland and wales and six cor ners of england and soon en ough the short trip but the big one across the channel and into normandy no anticlimax there but the solid satisfaction of cul minating interminable months of training by smiting mm toe hip and hrftb smiley then the rapid long leaps to lllle to antwerp and the first vivid impressions of the bub bling life of people newly freed after four intolerable years ah lita where are you now then into a plowed field in holland sans wheels and be ginning another long journey across a bitter hostile land a miserable trek but not without its high points of excitement attempted escape in holland being strafed in a german train by one of ours rolling in a locked railway carriage through a night bombing raid on frank furt meeting old friends long since believed dead in the camps this is getting monotonous but there was one more exciting journey it was made on foot through about 100 miles of coun try crawling with drunk rus sian soldiers and bloodthirsty exslavclabourers and was ac complished with no other wea pon than a big scared grin what i really started out to say was that ive embarked on another journey which prom ises to be as exciting as any of them after a certain amount of armtwisting im launched on a journey of exploration in short im taking confirmation classes reading the bible after io these many years and on the way toward a figfiting chance at getting to heaven a friend suggests that you cant swallow anything whole with your ton gue in your cheek but im going to give it a fair trial editors moil stouffville ont jan 22 1960 tribune editor stouffvilfe ont dear sir i read with interest the edi torial that appeared in the tri bune issue of jan 14th under the heading should join for ces i heartily agree with your stand on the subject it would seem rather ridiculous to think that two congregations of the same apparent faith could not forget their differences and meet under one roof especially when one group has been deprived of their church through loss by fire if these members really and truly believe that all chris tians are headed for the same heavenly home surely the rea sons behind uch a split in their baptist ranks must appear petty and foolish this same story is true not only in the hamlet of whitevalc but in dozens of other towns and villages throughout the pro vince its bad enough that our protestant faith is divided into so many sects without having these divisions extended still further i commend the tribune for fearlessly stating its views on a rather touchy subject your editorial has my complete endorsement yours sincerely i a reader laugh more if you want to live longer advises a physi cian following this advice should have a cumulative effect in achieving longevity as the

stouffville s2 ninth line main st mt albert ont jan 21 1960 editor the tribune dear sir the north seems to have vast opportunities for employment for single young men such as radar lines mining uraniumn excepted considering the cur rent market for the ore lum ber and construction i believe there are many single men such as myself who would take a chance for employment in the north if they had a chance to begin whom would they contact how do they get to the areas where employment is possible how can they get the required training to pass the heavy screening that blocks the pass age into northern employment i recently saw mr h d whyte of the newmarket un employment commission about this matter according to him a man must be of a very special type that is one who is very highly skilled in the first place or at least a semisuperman he must have experience before he can get employment in the north unless the prospective em ployers of the north are willing to take a chance on training more men and lift the heavy screening a little then the de velopment of canadas north is going to be considerably slower than what it should be i remain david birch for parents only children can enjoy
