fa i the stoubvtlu twwhc twj an w60 editorial the price tag it wa rather interesting to note hat in a recent case that appeared before a magistrate in buttonvjlie court a couple was fined 125 for reading in a mobile trailer for a per iod greater than provided for in a markham township bylaw the de fendant pointed out that temnorarr residence had when new sported a price tag of 830000 we would suggest that it would little matter if their twowheeled trailer cost ten time this figure it is not assessable and therefore pays no taxes into the township coffer- the owner had already been granted a liberal extension on the specified time limit her counsel contended that in the cases of fire etc the un fortunate parties should be allowed doesnt count certain considerations we would suggest that a municipality might iend a sympathetic ear to such a situation if the persons had made some noticeable attempt to replace the burnedout structure with a per manent dwelling in this particular case the owner was apparently con tent to sit back and live comfortably in a taxfree trailer this type of residence unfortunately does not assist in the building of schools and the construction of roads no one can dispute the fact that some models of mobile homes are beautiful oven luxurious they may tend to enhance any country com munity but unless they pay their way with that allimportant tax dollar they are merely a burden on the neighborhood too many another drowning victim was added to the lengthy list of water fatalities at mussulmans lake on saturday evening last summer six persons died at the local resort centre kor the number of men women and children who flock into the area on weekends the accident rate is poss ibly not abnormallv high we would contend however that bathers are too dependent on the arrival of life- saving equipment from stouftville should a mishap occur a ten minute dash by firemen police or doctors is sometimes just ten minutes too long it may not be ft may not be generally known but ontario provincial police do wel come the assistance of the public at the scene of a serious highway acci dent until sunday we were under the impression that any offer to assist an officer at the scene of an accident might be regarded a inter ference but apparently this is not the case however fche fact that the police would welcome needed assistance shouldnt be misinterpreted it is not a signal to everyone and his brother to flock to the scene of an accident and clutter things up if is an invitation to those who happen to be passing to fake a look and see if drownings every second is extremely vita in such an emergency ir d 1 petrie of stouftville has put forward a suggestion that we feel has merit he feels that a plastic hose used in the performance of nioutlitomouth artificial respiration should be available in the home of every cottage resident the purchase price is extremely small and its oper ation is quite simple this could be a fine project for each of the active ratepayers associations to undertake one of these instruments valued at 200 could save a life generally known help is needed this isnt hard to de termine and if help is not needed the most helpful thing to do is drive on there is a chance that help might be required to do that very thing keep traffic moving or divert it while the officer carries out his investiga tion apparently aboul one of wis most helpful things the public can do is to avoid asking needless questions of the officer at the scene hes trying to find the answer to a number of things himself in a nutshell if you come upon an accident see if your help is needed and if it isnt dont add to the con fusion by loitering or bothering the investigating officer teenage ambition weve nfl read and listened to the modern day tale of woe concern ing our spendthrift teenagers and their easy come easy go allowances that are weekly doled out by overly- generous parents perhaps to a cer tain extent it is all too true but we are quite confident that a certain rank and file of young people have learned the value of the almighty dollar through the experience of physical labors on monday morning a holiday we visited a local market garden farm in the district we were more than pleasantly surprised to see more than thirty boys and girls ranging in age from 14 to 17 years working strenuously in the field- on busier days we learned their numbers would be increasaed to fifty their job was piece work they were paid according to what they could produce how much greater the satisfaction for the son or daughter truly an indelible lesson in economics that could last a lifetime hospital rates to go up in fall doctors are n favour ot health insurance stated dr lohn h mckinney ot brooklin when speaking to members of ontario county coop medical services recently at their an nual meeting at greenbank we have been watching the saskatchewan elections contin ued the guest speaker and there is no doubt health insur ance will come but not too sud denly and we hope it will be in a form acceptable to both the doctors and the people dr mckinncy spoke of cer tain safeguards that the medical profession consider important first the doctors fool it is nec essary that you should have free rhoicc of your doctor second they see trouble if the doctors ate paid on a stated salary or paid at so much per head they think that the medical profes sion is entitled to fee for serv ice they feel that doctors should be paid for what they do for instance if a doctor wants to take night calls he should be paid accordingly the speakers topic was the changes in medical practice in the pas twentyfive years he 1 spoke of some of the difficult house visits in his early prac- j tice births were generally in i the home instead of in hospital lab tests xrays new drugs i new surgical procedures and an- j acsthesia techniques and im- j muniation have changed the health picture the doctor pointed out that l you cant judge the worth of 1 a drug by its cost a good deal of research and study is behind i one little capsule in his duties as medical ofti- cor dr mckinney has noted la change in the year end re- poits when slating the causes 1 of deaths it used to be that the top three killers were pneumon- j j ia tb and infection now the i three main causes of deaths are j heart cancer and accidents the medical co operative has i always had a good reputation j staled dr mckinncy prior to the ontario hospital insurance becoming effective in january 1959 only the blue cross and j the

only when one of the par ties to the marriage commit theres no doulit about if though our divorce laws need a drastic overhauling and id be happy to sit on the com mittee in charge of drafting the new ones id certainly change a few things first of all id put the cost of divorce on a sliding scale based on your income there would be a s2s bottom for the small wage earner running up to as much as s100000 for the hollywood star who is making a million a year this would give the ordinary joe a chance to knock off the shackles when he arrived at the desperation point and it would also put a crimp in the marriage merry- goround among the neurotic rich to adultery as the sole ex cuse for divorce 1 would add incurable insanity desertion and alcoholism deserters and boozers would get two chances o pull up their socks if rhey cniildut make if stick theyd get a fast divorce and five years in jail nothing like a stretch on the stone pile to cure a hangover or that wandering adultery with witness

that does not eneourafie the prewence of witnesses yon have to sort of make believe yon hire a whole lot of people like detectives and lawyers and a nice lady who will pretend shes a shady lady all this oos a lof of money and thats why fellows like you and me seldom get a divorce winslow was relieved ya ger that many men would be hnppy to do five in such a cause and we might have to build a lot

a large sheet with a printed list on it this would he pinned in a prominent place in heir new home the list would be niede up of such mis- j demeanors as bad temper bad breath extravagance get ting fat not shaved drunk again nagging smoking too much and so on you get the idea kach of the newlvvveds would start with a hundred points then they would keep score on each other for example ten points ot for getting soused with the boys displays of bad temper would cost ft points with a bonus of 5 for throwing tilings when you run out of points your partner has the option of wiping the slate clean and starting over or getting a quick cheap divorce this would huck tip the institution of marriage no end it would also lead to some weird and vvonderftd arguments and ex planafions and would make the whole cruel business an exciting game this is all straightforward enough but by ihe time parlia ment got around 10 passing it wed all be dead and too late for a divorce perhaps it would be simpler if we just adopted the divorce laws of islam in that faith if a husband gets browned off vviih his wife all he has to do is say in front of witnesses 1 divorce you i di vorce you i divorce you and theyre divorced however even the followers of the prophet cant win a wife usually brings a substantial dowry to her marriage if her husband divorces her the dow ry must be returned with ac crued interest how

unsuccessful search for a place to sleep with cross over tired children constantly wail ing when are we going to get there fatigue quickly produces ir ritability in both adults and children arrange a
