tm 1 the stoohyiui ttbume tburujay my w 1 annexation n stouffville will mot likely lose another industrj l week becaue of the lack of land or to be more correct the lack of land with the exception of a few small parcels for which the owner ask fantastic prices as soon as omeone wishes to buy the industry which we mention is an american firm with a good poten tial for employment it will undoubt edly go to one of our neighboring towns where land can readily be pro vided unless council gets into action soon and moves along with anexation another year will be lost unless annexation does take place and until it takes place the matter of industry might jurt a well be shelved the town must own or at least control some land which it can provide for industry at a reasonable figure ft i not necessary that council buy land but it can require a subdivider to give such land to town in lieu of lot fees or a portion thereof progress towards annexation eeds a speedup has staggered along now for months it is presently being held up and ha been for some weeks as council mem bers bicker over providing the necess ary drainage plan to complete the total survey of the proposed annexa tion area industry is a real prize today competed for by municipalities from one end of the country to the other here in stouffville we have the service- but no locations the few small parcels of land available are being held by owners who are out to make a killing and industry does not have to pay through the nose for land there are plenty of other municipalities who will provide them land with open arms annexation has been dragged along here now for three years over that period at least three industries have had to turn their back on stouff- ville and go elsewhere now we have lost one more opportunity lets put a little more determined effort into this job of providing land so that next time we will be ready order in the council room on numerous occasions we have witnessed rank outbreaks of criticism and accusations levelled by irrespon sible ratepayers to members of town and township councils but the dis gusting scene that was staged in the chambers at brougham last week ranked above and beyond all previous exhibitions putting it mildly it was a poor piece of showmanship at its best to anyone who could see past the end of his nose the verbal on slaught from the floor was a direct attempt to embarrass the council members who it seems have little defence against such unscrupulous attacks at the level of municipal govern ment there will always be a faction of faultfinders who appear to revel in this type of censure although such persons represent a small per centage of the rank and file rate payers across a municipality their undaunted efforts if unchecked can make the operation of organized council business exceedingly difficult some three years ago when reeve lawson was at the helm of pickering township the council of that day was faced with a similar problem he suggested that a pro cedure bylaw should be prepared it was never put into practise we would suggest that such action be taken immediately such a bylaw has been enacted in other municipalities and the efficiency of their councils has been noticeably improved we are not opposed to inter- council discussion and debate we agree that ratepayers with specific personal complaints or problems should b heard we cannot how ever condone the unannounced ar rival of delegations without prior notice being forwarded to the clerk at least twentyfour hours in ad vance no interruptions should be permitted from the floor during the completion of regular council busi ness it is perhaps regrettable that a reeve must resort to such tactics to retain some portion of dignity that his office signifies but following last weeks shameful episode it is plainly evident that some drastic measure must be taken for those persons who may be regular attendants at weekly sessions of pickering council the barrage of verbal insinuations and accusations from the floor was by no means an unusual occurrence we felt however that there was little or no foundation behind the most recent volley of critical comments for those persons who were attending their initial ses sion of council last week and there were a number it must have indeed been an eyeopening experience is it any wonder that it is becoming in creasingly difficult to obtain good candidates to serve in municipal positions certain ratepayers will always have an axe to grind with councils this motive was plainly evident last week the members were sitting ducks for a round of trumped up charges that looked as phony as a bag full of three dollar bills stirely the time has come for the reeve to assert his authority he has re frained from acting the role of policeman in the past but some havt stretched his freedom of speech policy a little too far if resident are not satisfied with councils hand ling of township business let them speak at the polls in december per sonally we feel that the present members have little cause for con cern we would contend however that last mondays exhibition is councils concern not for december but now no municipal meeting should be transformed into a circus sideshow it was just that type of performance music festival time this is the time of the year when music festivals blossom forth in communities such as stouffville and the talents of hundreds of public school pupils come to the stage all these young people through the func tion of music in our schools have the opportunity of displaying their tal ents they also have the chance to receive constructive criticism and en couragement to pursue this cultural activity the communities awe a debt of appreciation to those who take charge of these festivals to organize and direct since the small beginning of such concerts some years ago marked progress can be seen demon strating good training and careful music selection some of the groups in the recent concert in stouffville have been prize winners at the kiwanis festival and the confidence and poise given these young performers will pay dividends in later life in the

appearance but the lxr looketh on the heart 1 sam 167 tiie lesson as a whole approach to the lesson the words of our lord were as sorely needed in his day as in ours the pharisees who op posed him were notorious for their religious hypocrisy else where christ denounces them scathingly see especially matt 23136 here he warns his hearers against their shallow pretense and explains clearly the difference between hypoc risy and sincerity sham and genuineness external show and internal reality the pharisees observed out ward forms scrupulously they gave alms prayed and fasted their religious exercises im pressed their fellow men but thoroughly displeased the lord something crucial was sadly lacking true sincerity of soul something base had been added insincere self centered hypoc risy the pharisees have their dis ciples today people may join the church follow her prescrib ed ritual put money in the offer ing plates sing in vested choirs and yet be totally unacceptable to god if ones heart is far from the lord if he has no true faith in the saviour if re ligion has become a matter of convenience form and show all his piosity genuflections recit ing of psalms and prayers are futile god detests any practice that savors of hypocrisy he wants our hearts before out gifts ourselves before our pos sessions our love before our alms our personal devotion be fore our formal prayers the heart of the lesson the difference between re ligious hypocrites and sincere worshippers may readily be seen first in their attitude toward sin the hypocrite is more inter ested in parading his virtues than in confessing his iniqui ties in listing his good deeds than in deploring his faults the sincere child of god recognizes his own failings confesses them with sorrow and turns to god for mercy second in their appreciation of gods holy demands the hypocrite has the audacity to believe that the almighty is sat isfied with his paltry gifts when his heart is far from god that the lord is impressed with his prayers or placated by his fast ing the sincere believer is aware of his own shortcomings and desperate need of forgive ness i eggs improvement in prices with strong prices in the

cracker bar- rel occasionally the conversa tion came to an abrupt halt just long enough to set wes up again after the board had slip ped and the tailor was wedged into the crackers with only his hat and the soles of his shoes visible for a hoit period in the ls90s johnny murison ran the store and during his occupancy a handbill was circulated to ad- little j vertisc a clearance sale to nvike 1

this time when most folks are thoroughly enjoying the burgeoning of spring some of us are going through the harrowing destroy ing experience of the music fes tival each year it puts another splash of silver in my wig kach year it carves another line in my alreadyfurrowed fore head and each year 1 am posi tive the old lady wont get through it without complete nervous collapse but the human constitution seems to be made of a compos ite of old rubber boots and scrap iron i have already recovered to the point where my head is no longer thudding like a bongo drum and mum has once again tottered back from the brink of insanity and is her usual brisk bullying self this year our kids played in sevon different piano classe that meant seven trips to the j festival centre and alkiul 30ft miles on the old it ituick which gives us some i gallon is miles to hie the editor stouffville tribun dear sir after reading your editorial under the heading whatever will be will be i could not help but feel disturbed about the passive undertone i thought to detect in this article it hfttu obvious that the writer is not over enthused about civil defence operation thereby sharing in the general lethargic attitude of 99 of the canadian people tl would uke to know where this figure comes fromk granted we all know that such an attitude ex ist hi thi part of th world but i believe that a newspaper should not only be informative but thould also play an educa tional role the mere acceptance of existing lethargy i not help- tag the cause of our national and personal aafty just hoping that the bubble will never break is to be interp reted as living in a fools para dise we take polio vaccinations have medical checkups light ning rods on many of our build ings insure our properties car ry llfesaving equipment in our boats etc etc why just in case whatever will be will be is not good enough sir at the outbreak of world war 2 i lived in one of the countries where a lethargic at titude towards the possibilities of war was also very dominant it sounds unbelievable now but i have seen people leaving their homes and standing in the streets in order to have a good look at enemy aircraft they did not know any better and had never been prepared many paid for their ignorance with their lives i have also seen the panic of unorgantoed mass evacuation i resulting in chaos and again un necessary loss of lives we all know of the unpreparedness of the british people during the dark days of 193940 it took years of blood sweat and tears of this great nation to correct this although i know that only a comparatively small number of canadians witnessed the great and unforgettable miseries of war from nearby their experi ence should serve as a lesson for every man and woman of this country it could not only happen again but with more dis astrous results it is my belief that our news papers should take an active part in fighting the existing neg ative attitude towards clvh de fence let us be prepared i thank you for letting me use some space in your weekly 27 manitoba st lou meydam stouffvlha however i dont mind the expense its the bedlam that gets me down just trying to keep those kids in clean clothes for a week is enough to drive a saint straight up the wall and somebody was always late or had lost his shoes or had got mud on her dress we snarled and hurled recriminations on every trip until we were five miles out of town the festival hall is always the same beneath its apparent qui- y biu smiiey el and orderliness seethes a angled current of conjecture hope and fear women sil quiet ly ajout nothing except heir laity hair wild eyes and chewed lipstick to mark them as festi val mothers kids giggle and squirm with nerves as the big moment nears the girls are all fussed up in their best dresses with fancy bows and sparkling eyes and shining hair the boys are qui eter stiffer pale and tense their hands are sweating and they rub them on their pants scattered here and here are the teachers outwardly calm inwardly churning this is the culmination of months of hard work for hem and tan bring relation or dejection depending on how tlielr charges come through then the adjudicator rings his hell dead quiet reigns the first contestant feeling as awkward as an elephant mounts the stage and the tension rises one of those distraught mothers isi holding her breath her heart j pounding painfully sometime one of the kids will get stuck shell hit a wrong chord pause try it again play a discord and panic she sis there looking at he keyboard as hough ii was a document in chinese she pokes at a couple of notes looks desperately at he adjudicator and tries again her despair and agony are al most matched by hose of the audience this year our adjudicator david ouchterlony of the con servatory told a story abaut 1 this sort of thing it happened at a festival in a fiveandunder class this little guy started off well then got stuck he fum bled around for a minute then got going again but the second time his right hand had started one note too high and the whole piece went like that he knew what order to play the notes in and he was flying along in greal style but after a minute realized l sound ed like a cat on a tin roof he slopped dead put his hands on us hips and stared at the piano in silence then he piped hey whats the matter with this pi- ano in a clear treble a when a class has finished playing everyone sits looking as calm as a canary at a cats convention the adjudicator scribbles notes then lie walks to the front and the aficionados lean forward slightly strung like wire and the moment of truth arrives when its all over you hate the man bitterly or think him an exceptionally dis cerning type depending on how he has treated your offspring tears lurk near the surface for the youngsters who have worked hard for months then made a mess of he piece be- nanse of festival nerves mature women feel ie screaming the odd father present slumps as though hed lid a heart attack oh its a grand business the music festival but martyrs un like cats have only one life next year at festival time i shall enter a monastery for a week and let he chip and the tears fall where they may store at cedar grove dry goods and groceries is the heading and the list includes hats caps boots and shoes hardware agricultural equip ment paints oils putty glass coal oil pure spices druggists groceries patent medicines and a full line of goods usually kept in a general store the adver tisement finishes with a lure for the ladies our stock of no tions ladies dress goods prints cashmeres etc is complete and will be sold very low unfortunately for mr mal colm the store burned down du ring his regime and the next owners we know of were henry and jim kennedy tt must have been at this time that the cream ery at locust tlill burned down and the kennedys further ob liged the local farmers by sell ing basket after basket of fresh ly churned butieci by 191s the eatty family owned cedar grove general store and after that arthur of ten and son proudly lent their names to the business fire continued to make his tory for our village store and on a bitter winter night with the temperature at 2 above iero the offens lost their house and business mr and mrs offen and their four children escaped but it was a rush exit with no time for warm clothes against the winter night that was in 1945 and the loss was estimated at 15000 dollars recently the store was oper ated by mr and mrs loxton jack and mats walton and th mcintoshs- mrs loxton not be ing a country woman at heart longed to see a streetir pass her window and eventually mov ed closer to the ttc marg and jack walton went into farming and the mcintosh family moved farther north last saturday night the last owners and operators of cedar grove general store closed the dors for good karl reesor who ran the business for frank sew- ell left on much the same note that johnny muiison held his sale goods sold at your own price the stoic in the village will be missed by many people in many ways the dash across the road for a loaf of bread the pleasant walk down the road with the days shopping the rounds of soft drinks to wet the whistles of the hot stove league the friendly atmosphere that has pervaded that shop for a century the loss to the child ren is inestimable hardly a child was driven farther than the store on his way home from school karl had a way with children that made him a friend he enjoyed their jokes and kidding he treated them on their birthdays he knew the limits of their pocket books and he remembered them at christ mas and halloween yes per haps the greatest loss at the closing of the store will be suf fered by the kids how the village news will spread from now on is an un solved problem dropping in at the store to catch up on events in the village will be a hard habit to break we will all miss the occasions when earl took a day or two to go fishing and left byrl and frank in their own delightful price quandry the rink and the garden par ty will note the closed doors with regret from here supples were constantly on the move to help community fund raising efforts here the money was kept in safety it was only a small group that stayed to see the last few minutes of business at cedar grove store hut the group was
