ptg 2 the stouffyiile tribune tburvjtr stpterfw 2twm editorial going to need a recent government release tells us that the unemployment in surance fund i down to less than 300000000 from a peak of 921- 000000 in 1953 at the rate we are going this amount could be virtually wiped out with another winter of heavy unemployment it would ap pear to be high time the government took a new look at what is obviously a serious situation we continually hear of abuses in the system and instances of fraud we are even told that the government itself has dipped into the fund a few years back in order to bolster other overspent departments of govern ment true or untrue the fund is being rapidly depleted and with an estimated 20000000 a year being drained off by those who should not receive assistance along with the an overhaul recognized heavy drain it will soon be exhausted some consideration has been given to setting up two separate sys tems one for seasonal and the other for nonseasonal workers the nonseasonal would be similar to the present system as it was originally set up to give workers some degree of protection for short layoff periods this system would have to be as self- sufficient as possible the seasonal workers would have to contribute larger shares because unemployment is more prevalent and of longer duration to this latter setup the government would have to give some assistance there is talk of farm labourers being covered and a separate system seems all the more necessary if this group is to be covered as well condemnation condemnation is steadily mount ing on all sides against department of highways officials who stubbornly refuse to install traffic lights at the ringwood corner again this past sunday a most serious accident oc curred at this intersection and while no one was killed six persons went to hospital with multiple injuries as a result petitions have been made by all the local municipalities involved as well as the county yet the depart ment has turned a deaf ear on all the pleas and the toll continues to mount a number of lives have already been taken and apparently still more fatal ities are needed to prove to those who control highway safety that there is a need for lights the congestion on this danger ous intersection was as great this this one an investigation into the admin istrative operations of government and its cost is one that will be wel comed by all taxpayers the inquiry will take some time according to the prime minister and two years is ex pected prime minister diefenbaker has made a plea to business men who have complained that business meth ods should be introduced to govern ment to come forward with their past weekend as at any time this summer traffic in long lines coming along highway 47 from stouffville finds it most dangerous to try to enter the line proceeding south some of the traffic is trying to cross over highway 48 and this is just as tricky it would appear that a certain number of lives must be taken before the department is ready to make any improvement and this is a de plorable situation the visibility at the corner is good in all directions but with traffic moving in all directions and from business places nearby accidents are certain to occur particularly during weekends we would hope that the munici palities who have already petitioned for lights would do so again with even stronger urging than before is welcome recommendations as to how efficien cies and economies can be accom plished a threeman commission an ac countant a barrister and a former treasury officer make up the group this is certainly one royal com mission that should prove a profitable investment for the taxpayer and con tinue to pay dividends for years to come providing the economies which are expected to be put forward are adopted sunday school lesson lesson for october 2 the gkeatness of god psalms 8 101 golden text o lord our lord how excellent is thy name in all the earth psalm 89 the lesson as a whole the book of psalms has al ways held a very warm place in the hearts of gods people there are probably two reasons for this popularity 1 they re flect every mood of human ex perience and 2 they exalt the lord jesus christ in his various perfections and offices the psalms are divided into five books and each is clearly marked by a terminating dox- ology the psalter begins with god blessing man psalm 1 and ends with man blessing god psalm 150 this is the proper sequence of things and it can not be reversed among the great themes of this portion of the old testa ment is the greatness and glory of god this is primary and fundamental if we do not have right thoughts here then every thing else will be badly out of focus we need constantly to re mind ourselves that the popular god of modern thought is not the god of the bible this 20th century creation is a wretched counterfeit of the true it is soft indulgent and even fickle exercising a goodnatured toler ance toward evil and a semiin difference toward human affairs the true and living god on the other hand is infinitely righteous transcedent omnipo tent omniscient and yet gra cious to know him is the acme of all knowledge the heart of the lesson the meditative reading of these two psalms leaves us with a fresh sense of awe we feel as though we have been in outer space looking down on this mid get planet and watching the movements of its various forms of life how insignificant it all is and yet on the other hand how significant also this is all the mighty and skilled workmanship of a mas ter workman god in his wis dom produced it all from the tiny mollusk of the sea depths to the flaming orbs of the skies he knows all of these and pro vides for each one all are de pendent on his providence moreover these all reflect his glory and manifest his wisdom as the crown of his work so far as earth is concerned man was originally given complete authority over the lower crea tion beasts birds and even aquatic creatures all took their orders from adam before sin entered he ruled as the viceroy of the creator himself every thing without qualification was placed in subjection to him but through disobedience adam lost all of these and his sin set off a chain reaction of terrible con sequence that threw the whole fair scene into dislocation ever since that black day the whole creation groaneth romans 8 22 and the curse lies unre- moved but god has another man in view christ jesus he is the unfallen man the last adam who upon his return will reign over the restored creation and will exercise all the beneficent authority and grace that the first adam forfeited in the meantime god over rules in grace and blessing his majesty and might his trans- editors moil stouffville ont sept 19 1960 editor

quarters this week his spending was it all depends on where you sit years ago i used to be bit terly critical of the newspapers it didnt require much intelli gence to see that editors were craven afraid to publish the truth it was obvious that their policies were dictated by their advertisers that publishers were interested only in profits id have written them some pret ty fierce letters on the subject 1 can tell you but they prob ably wouldnt have printed them anyway then i became a news paper editor in ten years on the job i found out that editors were absolutely fearless dauntless and selfless that they were idealists devoted to progress and the betterment of the com munity that they cared nothing about money if a principle were at stake during the same period 1 discovered that newspaper sub scribers were irritable unpre dictable and impossible to please that they were demanding did not appreciate the editor and would not write a letter to him unless they had an axe to grind as an editor i criticized the operations of various organiza tions from the fall fair board to the tourist association i sug gested they were poky somno lent antiquated i claimed that they needed new ideas a better system i inferred that the ex ecutive was asleep at the switch and badly in need of new blood invariably at the next an nual meeting i would be elected to the board of directors of the organization within a year i would have found out that a few harassed officers were do ing all the work that you prac tically had to use a gun to col lect annual fees from the mem bers and that the latters chief pleasure in life was criticizing the executive on streetcorners or in saloons i remember when i used to bo an ordinary complaining irate taxpayer i felt nothing but the utmost contempt for the stupidity the narrowminded ness of the members of the town council tiieir callous neglect of such vital problems as resurfac ing the street on which i lived was little short of criminal then one winter night half- delirious from the flu i allowed my name to be put forward at the annual nomination meeting for the next two years i served on the town council i was shocked and disgusted during my term in ofilce at the petti ness the ornerincss and the ut ter disregard of the fundamen tals of municipal economy that existed among the taxpayers during one phase i was cer tain that raising beef cattle was the ultimate in easy money you just bought some cattle put them on the grass sat back on the porch and watched them swell into big juicy sirloins at 1 a pound then i learned that it goes like this you buy some cattle in the fall at 23c a pound you feed them 300 worth of hay and pump water to them all winter in the spring you put them out to pasture ore falls into a crack in the rocks and breaks his silly neck another expires horribly after eating a broken beer bottle that some body threw over the fence a 3rd comes down with the bloat but theyve gained 100 pounds each and you can still break even so you ship them to mar ket ir the fal and that week the bottom drops out of beef prices and they go under the hammer at ise a pound leaving you a net profit of minus 70o until this year i regarded teenagers as the twentieth cen turys answer to the bubonic plague or the great fire of lon don i knew they were lazy in solent selfish dull and not worth a fiddlers foot this year we have a teenager of our own and ive discovered that they are essentially lively highspirited lovable warmhearted and fas cinating young people the hope of the future as a frazzled editor putting in a long workweek i used to view with envy and not a little indignation teachers ambling downtown about 430 each day with other disgruntled ratepay ers i spent hours figuring out how many days they worked how many holidays they had how much money they got and how little they did for it all now im a teacher ive beon at it for only a couple of weeks but ive caught on quickly al ready i realize that nobody is so vital to the welfare of the community as our teachers no one is so overworked underpaid and unappreciated as the teach er ive learned that teachers are completely uninterested in salary schedules annual incre ments and superannuation fig ures they just do it for the sheer love of it it all depends on where you sit by gordon donaldson if youre the worrying type try worrying about rust its one of those things that seem to happen no matter what you do to stop it at this very moment its prob ably chewing chunks out of your car gnawing at your porch railings eating away at your drainpipes usually you dont notice rust until considerable damage has been done a small break occurs in a film of paint chrome etc ilust spreads underneath and by the time the paint has bub bled out and begun to flake off theres a large patch of hidden damage this is the common form of rust a burningup of metal which has been exposed to mois ture plus oxygen another type is electrochemi cal corrosion when different kinds of metal come together say bolts and washers of diff erent material and moisture is added an electric current is set up and one of the metals rusts away quickly the immediate answer to rust of course is to scrape it off a rotating wire brush on an electric drill will take off heavy deposits on railings etc but how do you prevent fur ther damage there are vari ous kinds of rust inhibitor most of them form layers of iron phosphate over the wound you then paint over and are safe for a while but any new scratch will break the iron phosphate layer and start trouble again cold galvanizers use the elec trochemical process described above to heal rust wounds as they occur the primer goes on like paint but when scratched and moistened the electric pro cess forms a new protective lay er of zinc over the scratch this is handy for preserving garden tools which are constant ly being chipped but its better to stop them rusting in the first place by keeping them clean and slightly oily any car a year or so old begins to get rust patches this is inevitable but when rust spots appear on the outside bodywork having eaten their way through from below youie railroads facing critical decisions canada s tvo largest railway systems are fighting for sur vival in a modern era which does does not entirely support them in their present form yet cannot get along without them between them thj canadian pacific railway and the cana dian national railways control more than 40000 miles of track the only large railways not controlled by these two giants are the ontario northland rail way and the pacific great east ern the onr owned by the ontario government and the pge property of the british columbia government both are run with an eye to profits but both are primarily development lines since neither operates out side its own province they are not severely affected by the principal factors now making life economically difficult for the cpr and cnr 19c0 year of crisis in a large way i960 is a year of crisis and decision for both the privately owned cpr and the publicly owned cnr in montreal a conciliation board has been considering a demand for higher wages by 11g0d0 of tiieir employees a demand which the two railways said would cost them an initial 505000000 annually and in ottawa a royal com mission has been holding an in quiry into the whole structure of railway revenues thus on one hand there are rising costs wages represent about go per cent of all railway expenditures and on the other hand slowermounting revenues which the railways hope the commission may do something to rectify fixed charges are another burden the cnr bears a heavi er proportion of fixed charges than the cpr largely because of debts assumed as the pub licly owned system acquired and amalgamated bankrupt lines passenger traffic down passenger traffic has always been a less important revenue producer than freight but it is the part which is in deepest trouble and which perhaps has shortest future massownership of the auto mobile and development of bus and air travel has sharply cur tailed passenger business for the railways this business has been a long time in dying the rail ways say passenger traffic has not been a profitable business since the 1930s since 1945 while the popula tion of canada has been steadi ly growing the number of rail way passengers has steadily decreased the railways in 1956 for example carried 14500000 revenue passengers by 1959 this had dropped to 11600000 in 1945 the cnrs revenue passenger miles amounted to 3068700000 by 1959 this had shrunk to 1171000000 bail share small appearing before the house of common railway committee last march donald gordon cnr president produced a chart showing the railways share of intercity passenger traffic in canada to 57 per cent in 1958 compared with 183 per cent in 1948 the 1958 section showed cars carried a whopping 851 per cent of this traffic buses 43 per cent and airlines 49 per cent graphic indicators of falling railway passenger traffic are de serted stations in small commu nities both the cpr and cnr are preparing figures on just how many stations have been closed and how many routes have been dropped for presen tation to the royal commission on transportation later this year this situation is another cause of the railways difficulties before they can drop a route or decrease tiie frequency with which it is served they must operating as a public service apply to the board of railway commissioners for permission public opposed and such an application usu ally causes a public outcry mostly the railways say from people who do not use trains to many communities the loss of regular railway service still means a loss of prestige com munity groups seeking to at tract industry feel potential investors may regard the loss of train service as a sign the com munity is dying the railways experience with this has been the same whether they are seeking to drop small communities from the schedule of a transcontinental train to increase its speed or simply to in trouble you can poke holes in the car with one finger i have tried amateur body work with plastic patch kits and found them very effective you first cut away the rusted area with a hacksaw or snips if its small enough you can slap the plastic patch on against a back ing of brown paper for big holes i used sheets of galvanized metal from the hard ware store screwed on over the holes with selftapping screws or small bolts and nuts i re moved the screws with a sander spread plastic body filler over the new metal and sanded it smooth it worked well but eventually like everything else x will rust cut a shorter commuter run which has been losing money both the cpr and cnr have tried many methods to attract new customers both have almost completely dieselized their systems at enor mous cost both have bought new glamour cars for their long passenger runs and selfpro pelled diesel cars for shorter routes try many plans a variety of changes to make rail fares and rail travel more attractive have been institued such as the travel now pay later plan the group economy plan which allows parties to travel at reduced rates and the allinclusive fare which in cludes tickets meals and gratui ties the railways spokesmen feel they still have a future as pas senger carriers but perhaps in a more specialized field mr gordon says they are hopelessly beaten by airlines on long runs because of the speed factor in line with this a first step is cutting the present total of four crosscanada runs daily two by each company to one each but on a longterm basis rail way experts feel the future lies in shortrun highdensity routes between large centres these are probably the only profitable routes at present curriculum changes due says robarts changes are being planned in the ontario school curriculum education minister robarts said in a report released recently the entire science program is under examination new courses of study for grades 7 s 9 and 10 have been prepared and will be introduced gradually begin ning in 1961 a committee is revising the grade 13 course in biology and this fall another committee will begin revising the grade 11 phy sics course the department is also exam ining the whole question of sec ondary school mathematics as an initial step some 36 schools will participate in an experi mental program this year to determine the value of such a program for grade 9 classes the success of previous ex periments in the teaching of russian
