pioe 2 the stouffvllie tribune ttscmf stpteaber is i960 jeditoriai a community gettogether any measure of success that messrs ted topping and hal gibson may have attained last fall in their promotion of the mongolia open golf tournament was bypassed on satur day in one of the finest singleday rec reational programs ever organized here more than one hundred entries were registered and each foursome took to the course on schedule with each passing season more and more persons are being bitten by the golf bug teenagers as well as grown ups have taken to the sport and scores chalked up by the younger set have caused some raised eyebrows among the more mature populace the tournament has come to mean more than a game of skill it i3 an opportunity for local and dist rict townsfolk to loosen their collars and ties and meet together in a spirit of good fellowship one with another for some it marked their initial ven ture into the sport for others it would be another game in a lengthy list of summer tournaments messrs topping and gibson are to be congratulated on the success of their project through their annual outdoor program they have been able to break down that invisible barrier that often separates neighbor from neighbor in a growing community this in itself would make the pro motion well worth the effort police radio needed here from the comments expressed regularly at meetings of town council one would gather that the members are well satisfied with the operation of the local police department we can only state that if court convic tions are any criterion then the offi cers are certainly doing their duty almost weekly main street traffic offenders are being hauled up on the carpet at both buttonville and new market and the fines that follow would tend to make district drivers more cautious of the rules of the road stouffville residents should un derstand that the policing of a town of 3000 is being accomplished here by a twoman force they lack a modern radar device and the lone cruiser is not equipped with a two- way radio system all in all it would appear to be a rather antiquated method to provide an uptodate ser vice within recent weeks at least two breakins have been thwarted by quick police response in each case the wouldbe robbers have escaped it has been necessary for the officers to race to the nearest telephone and notify surrounding departments at markham village markham town ship and vandorf opp in an effort to nab the wanted men through the use of radio the efficiency of the force could be increased ten fold we do know that the purchase of a police radio has been discussed by council but the members have winced at the cost involved we feel that if the local citizenry is to receive the protection it deserves the acquis ition of radio communication is a dire necessity consolidated schools on the way it would appear possible that the trend in many rural sections may be toward consolidated public schools although the pros and cons have no doubt been discussed by the majority of trustee boards little action if any has been taken many areas have been faced with accommodation prob lems drjhg the past few years each has been dealt with and for the most part new additions have been erected to the old structures some sections now discover however that before their current building debt can be written off they have run headlong into further extension projects it would appear to be one of the head aches of growing up the fiijst minor approach to a consolidated school system has been formulated at green river the en rollment in the school at brougham has climbed considerably since sep tember 1959 there was a similar attendance problem at whitevale the trustees from brougham white- vale and green river put their heads together and decided that nineteen pupils could be accommodated in the threeroom green river school it has now become a consolidated school serving three separate sections on a temporary basis at least the hiring of qualified staff per sonnel is often simplified in multi- room schools in this day and age when teachers are continually setting their sights in metro fields the little rural structure is too often left want ing for adequate instruction the costly problem of transpor tation still represents a thorn in the side of the promotion towards con solidated schools it would appear to matter very little whether the money is taken from the left pocket or the right its a case of providing the best educational value for the money expended that really counts extra wide permit recent cases involving farmers moving extra wide equipment on the highways without a permit has prompted the ontario federation of agriculture to look into the matter according to gordon greer presi dent section 191 of the high ways traffic act states that traction engines and threshing machines having a total width of 110 inches are permissible but some of th modernday machinery exceed thi3 width by several inches however the ontario depart ment of transport reports that it has a new policy in effect which allows farmers to get a special per mit to move their extra wide equip ment without being charged for violating the act mr greer said all a farmer has to do if he plans on moving equipment by road is to apply to the special permits divi sion department of transport parliament buildings toronto the permit is good until october 14 after that he will have to renew the permit if ha wishes to continue moving his equipment on the high ways possibly the problem calls for a study of the act with the idea of requesting amendments so that farmers need not obtain special per mits mr green continued the only other recourse is for the machinery designers to produce farm equipment that is within the requirements of the highway act in the meantime i urge all farmers to observe proper caution on the highways to avoid accidents to themselves and other people editors mail oshawa ont sept 9

any of you husbands ever experienced the following saturday is supposed to be your reward for five days at the sweat shop but your beloved spouse has the rare faculty of coming up with a succession of chores that invariably take up most of the day how trivial and unnecessary these jobs seem to you but according to the missus they need doing take the lawn for instance to you it looks like an over grazed sheep pasture but in reality the grass is so long that robins walk around on stilts searching for worms and other tasty titbits then theres the rugbeating episode youve whacked that thing into sub mission so many times before that it practically follows you out whenever you pick up the broom or what if the wringer doesnt work on the washing machine whats wrong with hanging out elothes that are slightly moist the garage needs tidying up again only to have the kids mess it up for next weekend the family chariot definitely can do with a wash but the only soiled area you can find to justify a rino is the dip stick this sort of nonsense goes on week after week than your belief in justice is restored when your wife rocks you with the information that on this particular saturday afternoon she and some of the girls have planned an out-of- town expedition in spite of your prostration following th shock you welcome this bit of news as the greatest since the nasslng of the automobile crank boy what a pleasant lazy un disturbed afternoon you con template with nothing to do but maybe watch a good western so when the time finally arrives with a wave of the hand and a last reminder to have fun you watch the little wo man take off feeling not the slightest degree of guilt you steal a look at your neighbours all as busy as little bees in then- respective yard with a smirk on your pan you disappear into your castle proudly rubbing your hands once inside you head directly for the frige select some refreshment and after switching on the teevee set plunk yourself down on the couch fully intending to relax and enjoy the next few hours your placid frame of mind is further enhanced by the knowl edge that the children wont bulldoze in at least not until their insatiable appetite com mands it man this is living as you recline there in solid comfort the horse opera is about to start when theres a knock at the front door annoy ing as it is it could also be important so you hasten to open it only to find the baker on his regular call suppress ing the instinctive urge to grab one of those gooey cakes from his basket and massage his kisser with it you pay for the bread and waste no time resum ing your prone position on the soft couch by now the show is under way and the heros equine pal is really churning up the dust in hot pursuit of some renegade at the very moment he is over taken and the fisticuffs com mence the ringing of the tele phone ends the exciting fight for you anyhow obviously ants at a picnic would have more consideration for your per- 1 sonal enjoyment with reluc- taree you again leave your cosy nest and answer the phone wouldnt you know it some idiot has called the wrong num- i ber naturally this incident is j no help to your chafed disposij tion and you strive to restrain from verbally blasting this jerk j at the other end of the line by j counting to ten as gently as can be expected under the cir- cumstances you replace the re- j ceiver and cut this ninnys apologies off short then you have another go at the couch no sooner are you tomfort- ably resettled than thumps summon you to the back door whats with all these interrup tions if allowed to continue this kind of foolishness could very easily lead to lidflipping so with accelerated pulse you open the door determined to assert yourself in no uncertain terms but alas it is your neighbour wishing to borrow your pruning shears for the pur pose of trimming his hedge what a diabolic scheme has sud denly sprouted in your dome with the mention of shears no you must not even think of it instead you assume an air of good buddyism and amble over to the garage for the desired tool as partially expected you find if not hanging in its proper spot but on the fioar partly covered with an old inner tube that apparently the kids have been carving into mud flaps you hand it to your neighbor and return once more to your inviting divan as for the show you have seen very little of it so far but surely you can enjoy the last part in peace and quiet you lie back still hopeful for some measure of tranquility when once again a tapping at the rear door oh no not again your patience exhausted you impulsively seize your hair with both fists but the timely and horrible thought of your noggin resembling a cue ball prevents you from committing the in evitable muttering uncompli mentary adjectives you yank open the door to be greeted by your neighbour for the second time he is returning the prun ing shears with the information that he was unable to snip even the tiniest twig right about now you entertain visions of this guys hide hanging from the clothes line the audacity of this character twice he has dis turbed your siesta and now the shears wont cut your desper ate efforts to curb your feelings are not entirely successful as you practically slam the door in his face narrowly missing his proboscis as you stand glued there momentarily trying to regain your composure you re member the shears in your hand and examine the blades to your dismay it is evident that the kids have been cutting more than rubber in their present serrated conditon these blades would serve a more useful pur pose as steak knives by now the western is over and you never did have a chance to see any of the more thrilling actions disgusted you turn off the set and decide that forty too mr fcum winks would perhaps be what the doctor ordered to calm you down when a faint knock at the front door shatters your reverie that does it a man can stand just so much whoever that is at the door is in for it but good this time youre pulling out all stops its high time these intruders were made aware of the fact that you are not the moron they seem to think you are ready to blast away with both barrels you open the door only to be stopped cold in your tracks by the sight of the paper boy calling on sub scribers for his weekly collec tion his boyish smile quickly dispels your barbaric intentions and this innocent kid will never know how close he came to being sent into orbit alone now and disconsolate you try figuring out why your wellplanned afternoon was so loused up but cant seem to come up with any genuine reasons no doubt you would have derived more contentment had you swept down the cob webs in the attic or gone bear- hunting better luck next time buster if there ever is another opportunity ethical a b cs granddad says whenever old friends congre gate to stand and watch the world go by they talk about things which they know trying to all things justify i used to

ms thomas utm ml mdcun aartoa well sir we moved last week and the next time i have to be moved i hope its in a hearse when the movers were giving us an estimate they asked my wife how many cartons wed have besides the furniture and all the usual stuff he meant cartons packed with books dishes and odds and sods she suggested there would be six alarmed i told her i was sure thered be at least eight wc had something like 31 cartons ranging from things the size of a shoebox to vast vast cardboard edifices which must have housed prefab homes in their original state these latter would go through doorways only when turned on their sides when there would occur such a tumbling and a rumbling from their innards as to make my wife turn green and the eyes of tho movers roll heavenwards i still dont know how it was possible for four ordinary hu mans in a few years to accu mulate so much under the head ing of miscellaneous perhaps it was because our house had so many closets about the only thing that didnt emerge from them during the ordeal was a skeleton the sorry note about this junk we lugged more than 100 miles was that it was the bare residue for a week before we moved i ran about six trips a day from our house to the gar bage dump in fact i got so friendly with some of the rats at the dump that they were eating out of my hand just the fleshy part of ccurre perhaps wed hsvc been all right if wed let the old girl throw out everything she wonted to but the rest of us watched her like jackal follow ing a lion kvery time she made kill wed dart in snatch a choice morsel and carry it away it wai only by lining uicus desperate measures tliat by bill smiley we were able to save such valu ables as my turtlcneck sweater that went all through the war with me hughs collection of toothpaste caps and kims box of beheaded dolls i guess the old lady threw out some items as many as five times young hugh was the only one who showed any real enterprise in the big mavo he gathered together several hundred comic books from all over the house went into the usedcomic busi ness and did a roaring trade he cleaned up 6 and cut his sister in for 20 per cent for her share of the stock for days before we moved every time the doorbell rang thered be a frecklefaced kid there clutch ing some pennies and asking is this where the comics sale is i planned to get in on a good thing and filled two large car tons with used pocket books but i couldnt find any custom ers so i put the cartons out on tho porch to take to the dump you can imagine my gratification when both boxes turned up among the items the movers carried 1 nto our new home along with two old mops a brokenlegged table and a bustted lamp all of which wed set aside to go to tho dump those movers were right on the ball they were supposed to arrive at noon on moving day and we were all ready for them that is wc had just half a days packing left to do the slove and dryer to be discon nected and few scores other minor chores so they arrived at 8 am ready to go the rest of that dav made the charge of tiie eight brigade look like a girl guides outing it was only the personalities of the two men on the moving van that saved the day they were the essence of easy goad nature in a basically irritating job my wife expressly told them to leave her cosmetics kit until the last an hour later she learned it had been packed 45 minutes before just ahead of the stove washer and refrig erator there was the mailings of an incident that would have made the congo look like a sunday school picnic the situ ation was saved when one of tiie movers told her she didnt need no lipstick she looked great the way she was during the scramble of pack ing i stabbed my wife in the back of the hand with the scis sors while trying to cut some string it went right to the bone bled like a fountain then swelled info a dark egg i rushed her tfl the hospital when we got back the driver told her she was lucky theyd moved an old lady last spring she was fussy and critical nagging their every move furniture all loaded she went up the steps key in inml to lock her door and looking over her shoulder to give the movers a final blast fell and broke both her legs tliis story didnt cheer my whitefaced wife noticeably but it delighted the movers some ten hours later in our new house one of these char- actors carried a box of books up to my new den a five-foot- square converted cupboard looking around at its celllike confines he quipped what dis de psychopatrick ward we came through the moving very well however especially my wife oh she cried three or four time- e day we were leav ing the old house and she burst into tears the minute we en tercd the new one but shes been a brick on the whole con sidering that none of the drapes fit any of the windows that wc had to nur so many chairs in the cellar it looks as though there is going to be a meeting down there and that you have to sit on the dinng room tabic to play uve piano tns oh that we might give head to them listen to their thoughts and discuss cause personal progress in this world is the growing knowledge of lifes purpose since through experience they have learned they want to tell us where to tread thinking to save us grief and pain but most of us will not be led like our fathers who before us lived learning life through exper ience we too must tread the path alone and through folly learn com mon sense thats why our dads in anguish weep cause we all act like simple tons still they would as if in battle sacrifice themselves for their sons myrtle t dowswell
