ttt the siquffvttlt u1buke twahy auyal 23 1962 editorial the honeymoon is over the organization operation and financing of a municipal police force is a major program that the twp of whitchurch must face in 1963 the ground work involved in the forma tion of this new department will have to be completed this year unless the deadline date of the withdrawal of the ontario provincial police is ex tended this gives the council slight ly more than four months to get a multithousand dollar project rolling for whitchurch townships po licing program it would appear that the honeymoon is over in return for an uptodate service second to none whitchurch paid out a mere 2400 on the other side of the ledger the township received 3000 rental fee for the opp headquarters at van- dorf leaving them a surplus minus a few incidentals of 600 this ar rangement almost too good to be true has- been in existence since april 21 1951 for the township it is indeed regrettable that this type of policing program must come to aa end look ing at the issue only from a dollars and cents angle it would appear that a sizeable mill rate will have to be established in 1963 to take care of a police budget estimated roughly at 10000 one may be sure that with each passing year this figure will continue to climb council watchdog the debate concerning the con struction on the former bellman building on main street without the necessary permit flared up anew at a regular meeting of the village council on thursday night at the time of writing it would appear the builder has openly flouted the orders of the building inspector and has continued on in his own merry manner with little regard for town regulations it is rather diffi cult to understand why this work was permitted to proceed to such a de gree of completion someone in authority must surely have observed that a couple of cards were being dealt ot the bottom of the deck we would commend councillor parsons for bringing this matter out into the open although we do not altogether sanction his verbal man nerisms which tend to turn a routine council meeting into criminal court hearing we would say that such watchdog tactics can serve the best interests of the town and its citizens an eyesore removed the garbage dump on the east side of no 48 hwy and a longtime eyesore in the twp of whitchurch is no more the refuse has been com pletely buried under tons of fill in one of the best coverup jobs we have ever seen a few weeks ago the tribune issued a few critical comments con cerning this disposal site we would now make special mention of the councils action in this matter and the noticeable improvement that has followed we know that the residents in the immediate vicinity will also echo a sigh of relief need more markers for grade 13 papers grade 13 examination results were announced last week again late in i the year for those who are now able to continue on to university this comment was made to us only re- cently by a local student every year there is the same complaint the long delay in an nouncing the results holds up thous ands of young people in their plans for a higher education in some cases they cannot enter the univer- sity of their choice because of al ready heavy enrolments this means they will have to keep looking else where and possibly end up much far ther from home or at a school which may not have the same status as the one they had hoped to enter there was a promise by the department of education to speed up the marking of these papers but this year the results have been an nounced even later we believe than last year the delay continues de spite new marking systems it would appear to us that the delay could be eliminated by hiring enough teachery to mark the papers the fee we understand is 28 a day which should be inducement enough to get more onthe but even if a few extra dollars were needed grade 13 results could be announced much earlier than a couple of weeks before university courses begin the change would certainly case the worry and concern for students and parents as well making it easy last week saw two men enter a private home in markham township scoop up 800 and make off this sort of thing happens every so often and there is little that can be done toprevent the breakins these char acters choose opportune moments to go about their nefarious business having any sizeable amount of cash around the home or in a place of business is of course an open in vitation to come and steal it those who follow up on these petty burg laries often find out loo that the real object has been to get bank books specimen signatures and sample 1 cheques used by the individual or business and really hit the jackpot through forgery in the most recent case the haul was quite large in cold cash and this may have been all that the thugs were after but one cannot be sure incidents such as last weeks should serve to alert people of the possibility of theft if they persist in having large amounts of money on their person or premises as well as the possibility of forgery put your cash and valuable papers in a place not easily accessible to thieving hands own worst enemy screeching tires racing motors and erratic driving are the major signs of an immature person at the wheel claims the canadian highway safety council he is his own worst enemy the council believes like an animal without logic or reasoning he gives warning before he strikes he can only damage himself if other drivers accept that warning and stay away from him the immature driver gives in to the urge to show off to attract at tention to himself he is the same person who shouts on the streets talks as loudly as possible whenever he is in public and makes crude re marks to others the council claims this sort of person gets no acclaim he gels ridiculei disgust and con tempt to such a degree that could he but understand it he would crawl away and hide h stnuffmllc irtliuiu

editors mail barrie ontario august 15 1962 stouffvillc tribune stouffville ont dear sir i wish to make a suggestion with regard to conditioning the numerous abandoned cemete ries throughout the province regardless of denomination or nationality as the majority ojt these ceme teries contain the remains of the early original pioneers of this province it only seems natural that the province o ontario should provide a much more f it- ting and deserving type of bu- easily arranged and put into ac tion with a minnimum of organi- zationand expense as you know these cemeteri es became in such an unsightly condition due to the fact that a no perpetual care had ever been planned in the early days b very few near relatives if any now live in the area c lack of general interest by most of those that do live near by after much thought and con sideration it is felt that the road maintenance section of the ontario department of high ways could do a wonderful piece of work in the rare ot such cemeteries for the following reason 1 they are already well or ganized 2 the personnel is exception ally well experienced in the type of work required and have the necessary labour force 3 they already have all the tool equipment and transport ation available 4 no elaborate accounting system would be required all distribution of labour equip ment supplies etc would simp ly be charged to cemetery care- 5 each maintenance division would be responsible for the care of all such cemeteries in their area in this manner prac tically the whole province would be covered with very little ad ditional travelling outside of their regular areas 6 it would create additional employment particularly for the employees who are not now employed on a permanent basis during the long period of neglect the underbrush has now developed into soc quite large ttccs i would very definitely suggest that these large trees be allowed to remain as shade trees they would thereby en hance the locality as a place of beauty and not just as a barren piece of land or as an area of underbrush and weeds the main work would consist of 1 clear and grub the under brush 2 cut the weeds 3 dispose of the debris bring in topsoll to fill in the sunken graves to normal ground level 5 plant trees and grass in some cemeteries to bring them up to a standard of appearance 6 straighten and fix the founda tions of some tombstones 7 supply and erect fencing and gates as required 8 place a sign t the entrance showing the name of the ceme tery and the date founded after the above would be com pleted it would not require a great deal of work or expense tc keep them in a pleasing ap pearance and pride of the com munity needles to aay such an un dertaking would only be met with the greatest possible ap proval by the people throughout the province one monday in july in the ottawa office ot leon j ray mond clerk of the house of commons i went through the impressive ceremony of being swornin as a member of parlia ment that made it official after the june 18 federal election vote and the formal declaration of ncction by the chief electoral officer when i was elected mp for york north i decided

attention tothe commuter problem in york north where thousands of our people travel considerable distances daily be tween home and work i have begun a study of this and hvc already had preliminary discus sions with planning authorities so i was particularly glad to hear the delegation from the maple area which wants some thing done about commuter trains while i know there are very serious problems to be over come in this matter there is no obstacle to the commuter serv ice that is insurmountable railway lines now exist and there are stations at new market aurora and richmond hill which are easily reached fcy people in those towns and in adjacent areas similar lines go to the markham-stouffvlllc- jnionvllle area tti- lines thatj serve those towns run directly o toronto i in a later report i will detail some of the information i have been able to gather and tell you what steps have been taken to get action for our people in this highly effective economical and convenient means of

allusions to the coming messiah lie has become known as the evangelical prophet ministering in judah during the reigns of four of her kings isaiah was able to observe the ebb and flow ot spiritual life il was during this time thai he predicted the babylonian cap tivity see chap 3957 but he also saw beyond the captivity and forecast a most glorious recovery under the benign scepter of the kingmessiah zion would shake herself from the dust arise and don her beau tiful garments and become a source of worldwide blessing the sweep of this prophets message extends therefore from the prccaptivity times- right through to the millennial reign of christ the heart of the lesson isaiah and his fellow prophets while stern at times were solid optimists this optimism was not based however on some blissful enthusiasm but upon the foundation of the word of jehovah the necessary disci pline on sinning judah would end in recovery and the exiles would humbly lelurn to jerusa lem to lebuilt their demolished temple and city the story of this recovery is recorded in the books of ezra and nchcmiah isaiahs glowing prophecies however went far beyond the national return from babylon they anticipated the advent of messiah even god himself in the midst of his people shortly after the preparatory ministry of john the baptist this be came a icality jesus came in precise fulfillment of the detail ed predictions only to be re jected and crucified god raised christ from the dead and enthroned him in heaven and during this age he is visiting the gentiles in blessing pending the resump tion of his dealings with israel when the lords present work among the nations is completed he will implement those phases of prophecy made to his ancient people and zion will rejoice with joy unspeakable

snatch ed a jamandpcanutbuttcr sandwich in the cool blight of the morning and took off running maybe you went up to the fairgrounds and played baseball all morning thered be about 12 kids on each side and every pitch every close play was argued violently with a lot of pushing in the chest and fierce rcpaitee like oft yeah youre nuts sez who maybe you took a swing around by lie sandpit crawled into the carefully concealed cage with the boys and lay around smoking monkey tobacco in toilet paper and plotting a horribla fate for the gang in the next block maybe you just sat on top of a stone wall in the sun chewing licorice and seeing who could spit the farthest maybe you lay on a wooden bridge and fished the hours peeling off like petals as you watched the dark water below excitement flaring with the stir of a trouts tail behind a log or maybe you swam in the river until your lips were blue and your eyes bloodshot then lay baking in the sun mindless following the ponderous dance of the great white cumulous clouds maybe you had a feed first thered be a roundup of beer bottles and scrap iron and old tires these were sold and the piofits invested in wieners and pop then youd send the best snatcher of the gang to swipe a bunch of bananas off the outside stand at the fruit store then youd all go home and steal you never asked for it you stole it any food you could get away with and maybe a handful of the old mans pip tobacco then youd all retire to the cave and have an orgy of food that would make one of the emperor neros feasts look like a sunday school picnic after supper new

every mother had her special call and we knew our own from blocks away and every father had the sama treatment for kids who failed to respond a hearty clip on the chops we came home not joyfully but promptly all that has been changed kids are all over the country now on summer evenings theyve wheedled their folks into taking them to the drivein or theyre sleeping in strange beds at somebodys
