31 the stowfylui trisune tiuny kohnber w ww editorial school u by bonnie baker how many of us especially the girls wake up every morning to that perplexing thought oh what will i wear to school today i believe that this problem could be solved in a very simple fashion that is the adoption of school uniforms by our stouffville district high school the wearing of a school uniform has many advantages first and fore most there would be no competition among pupils to see who has the prettiest most expensive or most stylish clothes we would all be dressed in the same smart manner regardless of the financial status of our parents in the long run having uniforms would i am sure save our parents money once we had obtained our uniform and accessories there would be very little expense afterward other than dry cleaning furthermore most of us will agree that our clothes very seldom wear out rather we tire of them or we grow out of them if uniforms niforms grade ha were adopted they could be worn by younger members of the family as they enter high school another advantage of a school uniform is that if we were perform ing at a school function such as com mencement or open house we would all be dressed the same this uni formity in appearance would be pleas ing to the eye of our audience also our uniform could be worn for func tions outside the school which we attend in groups like football games and symphonies i think appropriate uniforms for the girls would be gray pleated skirts white tailored blouses and wine blazers for the boys gray flannel slacks white shirts and wine plaid blazers this combination of wine and white would represent our school colors it will be readily admitted that a person dressed in a uniform rep resents something of which he is most proud let us as pupils show pride in our school by the adoption of a school uniform often discouraging a municipal employee in the township of pickering complained last week that he had been subjected to considerable abuse from irate rate- payeres he suggested that no one should be subjected to this type of treatment we most heartily agree that any complainant regardless of the basis for his beef should weigh his words and not take out his resentment on the unfortunate party who happens to pick up the receiver we believe however that as long as ratepayers are taxpayers there will be little relief from such verbal outbursts any person who is a servant of the public requires the diplomacy of a goodwill ambassador nerves of a tightrope walker and the vocabulary of a politician municipal employees are not the only persons faced with such prob lems it matters little whether you carry a clerical collar or a fuller- brush bag pound a policemans beat or an editors typewriter you are subject to criticism from mr john q public its a onesided game deserve much credit the dozens of young public school boys and girls who braved the elements on halloween night to col lect money for unicef are to be commended for this worthwhile un dertaking- under extremely discour aging conditions we were impressed with the en thusiasm displayed by the pupils armed with cardboard milk cartons they appeared to sense the true meaning behind their doortodoor collection campaign sporting a bottle full of money and a pocket full of candy each could truly lay claim to a job well done now it can be told in the airing of a recent ring- wood accident case in newmarket court on thursday morning it was suggested rather firmly that some where along the engineering line leading up to the construction of the intersection some person or persons mad erred this opinion if true would com plete the longstanding joke concern ing the initial survey stages of this project residents in the area have for the past number of years been completely mistified by the contin- more tax money the cbc which is far from a popular topic for canadian taxpayers who are forced to cough up millions annually to keep government tele vision afloat is about to embark on still a further plunge which may well cost taxpayers a few more millions we refer to proposals to dabble in color tv in the usa whose standard of living is even higher than our own ylor tv has been anything but en thusiastically received we read that tiiere are only about 50000 color tv jets in use in the united states ngainst more than 52000000 black and white receivers color television is fantastically expensive cbc president ouimet has estimated that for the cbc to uous work of survey crews appropri ately known to many as the silent service does it now mean that after this corner has been measured from every possible angle and side that the project is faulty the tribune learned this week that after a summerlong casualty toll the department of highways has finally bowed to the demand for signal lights out of a continuous comedy of errors we may at last achieve some constructive construc tion down the drain change would cost some 25000000 with extra charges of a half million dollars a year in addition individual program costs which are already higher than many wouldbe sponsors can afford would increase 20 to 30 likewise for the set owner color tv is an expensive affair prices of sets are at least double black and white with all the high costs the public already have to bear and more taxes in the offing how about cbc forgetting all about color for the time being xt least let the matter be put aside until some technical im provements make the process much less costly for both broadcaster and set owners and lets be content to continue for the present in black and white clean them or they may burn it only takes a few high winds of the fall season to touch off some lively stovepipe and chimney fires and sometimes it is touch and go to keep a house from catching fire even with the excellent firefighting equipment which we now have in stouffville lets not take chances chimney fires are much less likely to occur if the pipes leading to them are kept reasonably free of 3oot failure to do this exposes the home to fire with all the consequences its a pretty simple matter to clean out a string of pipes clean them out or they may burn and take the house with them t tauffitillc tribune established 1ss a v nolan son publishers member of the canadian weekly newspaper association and the ontario

creature graced hogtown rec ently with her theatrical pres ence tiiey made the brilliant discovery that marlene cant sing and annoyed her with pue rile questions about being a grandmother of course she cant sing and never could but she can make the skin crawl on the back of your neck with that husky snarl and grandmother or not there is more sex appeal in one ions look from above those haunting cheekbones one twist of that heartbroken smile than in all your strutting hipwiggling pou ter pigeons of half her age perhaps im a little warped on the subject o miss dietrich she was the first woman in my life the first member of the opposite sex who made rne real ize there was more than one sex i was ten years old at the time dont tell me you cant fall in love at ten perhaps that is the only age at which jour love is completely selfless utterly pure and absolutely undemanding i didnt even expect her to marry me i knew she wouldnt marry any tenyearold kid ail i want ed to do was think about her and nurse my pain to myself it happened at a movie i was a young devil for going to matinees in those days they iiad them twice a week after school as well as the usual saturday show i had been threatened everything from lio child aid to the reformatory i been licked several times villi ens had my mother had given personal ord ers to he theatre manager that i was not to be allowed in and still i went to the matinee every time i could find enough empty bottles to raise the price id arrive home abaut go pm my inner glow from the movie a buttress against the outer glow i would have shortly on by butt at any rate i fell for dietrich in a movie called morocco about the foreign legion in which she appeared with gary cooper i didnt realize it at the time but miss dietrich had the role of a woman of ill repute i thought she just worked in this bar maybe as a singer or some thing ft she sang in that whiskey tenor of hers and i was en chanted she smiled that rueful knowing smile and i turned to molasses she winked that nau ghty wink and i twisted my hands until my lingers cracked siie smoked with that myster ious elegance and my heart leaped painfully within me i thought i would burst with pride and devotion when the picture ended with her forsak ing her job at the casino to fol low gary into the desert the last shot showed iter barefoot in the sand dragging a goat as she struck off after the legion with the other women camp- followers i cant describe the gallantry with which she threw back iter hair and gave a splen did brave smile as the desert wind struck in her face nor can i convey the misery with which i realized she thought so much of that big jerk cooper for about three months i was literally sick with love riy mother thought i had some dis ease because i wouldnt eat she was convinced of it when i stopped going to matinees how can a boy of 10 tell his mother he is desperately in love with a movie actress oh i had a good many affairs after that there was a neigh bor girl wlto used to catch me and kiss me heartily every time we played run sheep run that ended when she pushed me out of a haymow one day just i for fun and i broke my ankle i then there was a brief episode with the french teacher when i was in high senool this came to a climax when i kissed her up in an apple tree one gladsome day in spring i thought id never get out of that apple tree and there was a brazilian girl i met at college she couldnt speak any english by the time id taught her the language and she could say park bench and kiss me daddy with the best of them id missed so many lectures i hadnt a hope of pass ing my year so i patriotically joined the air force there were lots of girls after that in england france bel gium some of these affairs were sweet some bitter i even asked one of them to marry me but i was too late shed just accepted a proposal from an other canadian who had a big country place in canada it was big and it was in the country 200 acres of stone and swamp in northern ontario then of course and i know you think im jus putting this in for selfprotection and how right you are there was the big love of my life when i met the old battlcaxe and started hewing my way through the domestic jungle since then lite only other girl ive kissed ex cept the odd one on new years eve has been my wifes daugh ter i guess oil told ive been in love about 12 or 20 times but it never again had the impact of that first swooning scaring sickness over dietrich and thats why marlene if the crude remarks of those toronto crit ics bothered you feel free to call on me my ardor may have cool ed and i may not be quite as pure as i was 30 years ago and you may have become a grand mother in the meantime but by peorge youre still the most beautiful glamorous mysteri ous woman i ever fell in love with i wish you were my grandmother mw wo the stoy of maps looking back over the last five hundred years or so we can hardly imagine how totally dif
