ftgt 1 the st0uffy1ue tribune tnurajoy fcurdi 21 196j editorial clears the air the withdrawal from the elec tion race in north york of dick blue independent candidate certainly clears the air in the local riding for conservative candidate chas hooper mr blue gave as his reason for withdrawing that he was splitting the conservative party as well as doing harm to other conservative candidates in other ridings and to for conservatives mr diefenbaker to any observer of the local election scene this was very obvious from the very beginning and frankly we could never see how any one with any concern for his party could set such a course to start with there is obvious conservative satisfaction and pleasure in the fact that this outside candidate has seen fit to remedy the situation for hi party has been a leader in the community the various announcements con cerning the celebrating by stouffville lions club of its 25th anniversary on march 25th cause one to reflect on the great good this service club has organized in town over the last quar ter century it took twenty men to form the club back in 1938 and they were not easy to find in the club today are only three left of that orig inal group a number have passed away while others have felt the weight of years and chosen to lead a quieter life than that followed by most service club members while the public has cooperated in a fine way to the multitude of worthwhile projects which have been promoted over the years the com munity owes a great debt of gratitude to the lions club for its foresight energy and the humanitarianism it has brought to stouffville in twenty- five years the club has been led by a total of twentytwo presidents in its his tory the first three presidents having held twoyear terms one of the prime instigators for the formation of the club was the late john r hod- gins and the sponsoring lions club was bradford from a small beginning of twen ty members the club has grown today to sixty the organization has had many ups and downs in its long career but during all the critical periods there were always sufficient stalwarts to carry the club along into a brighter future the money raised for charitable purposes runs into many thousands of dollars and while the public has been the donor without the lions club organization this money would never have been raised for the many good purposes we feel that the concept of ser vice that is the service club will never die not in stouffville nor in the many thousands of other com munities throughout the world where these organizations exist it is the modern version of the human recog nition of responsibility along with the public of stouffville we say hats off to the lions club congratula tions on this 25th anniversary and best wishes for another twentyfive years points up need to look ahead with the announcement last week that the local tax rate had taken another hefty jump and was nearing the straining point the need for the most meticulous planning for success ful management of our public funds looms more and more important unless prepared for well in ad vance future capital expenditures for education municipal works coun ty programs and utility extensions can cause sudden increases in the mill rate which are most unfair to the ratepayers due to this fact the recently in stituted request from the provincial government for fiveyear capital ex penditure forecasts from municipal councils is a welcome development it should force all municipal councils to look to the future a practice which not all have been inclined to do up until now whenever a major expenditure has arisen for schools or other municipal items its been stacked on the existing budget as if it cropped up like an unexpected catas trophe councils have been quite ready to make the other agencies scapegoats for sudden increases and other agencies are sometimes not too concerned since they are not directly responsible for the collection of their costs however with taxation near its limits all bodies requiring funds from the municipal treasury should work in cooperation to ensure that future expenditures are met with the least possible disruption of the tax levy the fiveyear forecast should help to do this provided that it is taken seriously and that it is taken into account at each council meeting called to consider budget matters sometimes there is a tendency to pass the forecast off lightly as just an other annoying form for the provin cial government the attitude of crossing the bridges when they are reached can certainly spell trouble for the future municipal bodies should not be neglected in preparing these projects since if they are the ultimate loser will be the taxpayer careful scrutiny needed if there is a trace of fear and trembling within the ranks of stouff ville council this week it can be at tributed to the arrival of pc day to spell it out we mean that the time has come for the members to open the applications for the position of police chief this unenviable chore has been made even more difficult since the eyes of not only stouffville ratepay ers but those of adjoining municipal ities are watching this next move with interest and curiosity although the closeout dale for applications was set for 12 oclock noon on wednesday march 20th this should not mean that the council is obliged to finalize its selection at its regular meeting on thursday march 21st if past experience is any teacher we feel that the members cannot be too careful in checking and double checking each and every sub mission a hasty appointment could possibly add more fuel to a fire that has already burned out of control on several occasions within the past seven years this post is a most important position for stouffville not so much from the standpoint of policing in the true sense of the word but in good solid police public relations he must be a man who is not so much feared but respected we can only hope that such a man is available for the price we are prepared to pay plain english last week members of the stouffville district high school board gave vent to their feelings concerning the subject that has been the topic of discussion by almost every tax payer in town the high cost of education much of the blame was tossed nquarely in the lap of the teachers federation one of the most powerful union organizations in existence in canada the members statements were given countrywide publicity and even gordon sinclair aired the issue on one of his daily broadcasts we would commend the stouff ville board for taking a solid stand on this problem it is only through pub licity that the matter will be at long last directed to government circles and remedied the pinch is being felt not only by stouffville residents but by the taxpaying public all along the fringe of metro for office supplies business machines see the stouffville tribune jsy the way anne boss our modern household appliances would seem to prov the necessity lor higher education a homemaker needs practically an engineering degree to understand and operate many of them this was going through my mind the other day when i was giving our very uptodate kitchen range a thorough cleaning all those dials and push buttons would have been the undoing of our mothers and grandmothers mind you im not knocking modern invention as it applies to our theatre of operation but the days of a feeling or natural instinct for baking and cleaning are long past that pinch of seasoning that generous amount of soap chips that perception of judgement required of us all have now been taken from us and we are but the technicians of machines we dont judge the heat of the oven by the feel of the hand we set the indicator we dispense detergents by the automatic release or at the least with a measuring cup we dont rely on elbow grease to create a polish we spray and wipe to a glossy sheen we have it made providing we keep a comnlere file of instructions to guide us to proper procedures ail of which brings me to share with you a glimpse of the past which i came across through an old old cook book recently given to me its called the universal cookery book and was written by lizzie heritage who it says was holder of first class diplomas in cookery and domestic economy the book contains over 1400 pages of cookery instructions imagine wading through that to decide on what to have for dinner tonight the introduction was written by j l w thudichum md frcp which i take to be doctor of medicine and fellow of the royal college of i dont have any idea what the p stands for and just say that name aloud dr thudichum while reviling the decadence of modern cookery in that soups which used to be taken by using a spoon fork and knife in that order now are miserable tasteless watery liquids add to this ignorance the stupidity and dishonesty which pretend to make nourishing soups from decoctions of bones and the measure of offense against good taste is full whatever would the good doctor have said about our dehydrated soups and our instant potatoes skipping over a few hundred pages into the art of cookery we find miss lizzie heritage has this to say about the cooking of meat first comes the larding that is weaving strips of bacon or fat in and out of the surface of a leg of mutton or a joint of beef every woman who can use a needle ought to be able to lard though it cannot be denied that speed and neatness are attained only after a few experiments success at first cannot be expected in warm weather the bacon has a tendency to run and to obviate this the lardoons should be laid in the cool cellar as soon as cut a cool hand is also a desideratum in frosty weather meat should be brought in to the kitchen an hour or two before it is cooked or when dishingup time comes it may be found that the happy medium between cinders and rawness has not been reached ah meats take longer in winter than summer and it must not be forgotten that while beef and mutton are preferred by many when somewhat underdone meats of the closegrained kind are indigestible in the highest degree unless well cooked the hearths and ovens in kitchens have everywhere been greatly improved in structure and detail in the regulation of the draught of the fire and in the consumption of fuel in the simple apparatus generally used in workmens cottages there are however serious deficiencies such as the absence of bot tom heat from the oven against this cardinal fault all house holders should protest for an oven without bottom heat is a source of much failure and must be avoided the operation called baking is closely allied to roasting it is in fact what is called roasting by the majority for real roasting is dying out at any rate in private houses of ordinary dimensions a high authority contends that a joint cooked in a clean oven and over water will compare very favorably with a roast however juicy and he suggests a fair test to the sceptical viz that a piece of meat be cut in two the one half baked and the other roasted the results to be noted with care that meat baked in ovens is frequently of bad taste is due to the fact that the cooks do not prevent the spirting of grease whereby halfburned evil smelling and evil tasting products arise when in the same ovens socalled pies of flesh or fruit are baked the contents frequently run over the spilled juices dry at the bottom and are gradually carbonis ed by such impurities not only the pies themselves but also dishes subsequently baked incl cakes not rarely acquire a disagreeable taste of burnt grease it is therefore necessary in every household frequently to inspect ovens and make sure of their perfect cleanliness miss heritage continues and refers to cooking in the open hearth the usual method employed for roasting meat is to hang a bottlejack on the movable bar placed for its reception on the front of the mantelshelf to suspend the wheel from the jack and to hang the meat by a hook from the wheel a screen of tin is then put in front of the fire to keep in the heat and the jack is wound up two or three times whilst a joint is being roasted by a modern improve ment the bar can be altogether dispensed with and the jack fastened above the screen which is so made that the heat will be condensed as much as possible those who do not wish to go to the expense of a bottle- jack may find an economical substitute in the chimney screw- jack which may be fastened upon any mantelshelf when wanted and unscrewed when done with it requires a little more watching than the ordinary bottlejack but if a key be hung upon the hook with six or seven thicknesses of worsted wound round it one end of which is fastened td the meathook the twisting and untwisting of the worsted cord will cause a rotary motion like that produced by the more expensive bottle- jack anyone for the good old days im just going to get out my book

their general month ly meeting in st patricks church hall in markham on sunday evening march 10th these two socitiej combined their monthly meeting in order to attend a lecture given by the eminent psychiatrist dr g kac- zanowski the theme of dr kac- zanowskis lecture being mar riage psychological point of view mental hygiene is an impor tant factor in married life the tendency today is that people are inclined to be less imaginative because of the scientific progress which seems to have discarded the necessity tc think for our selves mental hygiene is in fact the exercising of our mental fa culties as an athlete would exer cise his muscles dr kaczanowski pointed out that marriage is not just a con tract for physical relationships it is a lifetime course in under standing the word understand ing meaning mutual agreement standing by standing for your partner happiness in marriage is not something material that can be achieved or obtained as you would obtain a new house or car our prime duty in marriage is to give rather than to receive if both partners remember this happiness is bound to follow it is dr kaczanowskis opin ion that ycung couples should at tend a premarrige course to help them understand exactly what their duties as a marriage partner should be dr kaczanowski also com mented that teenage marriages are wrong a woman does not reach the maturity for marriage until at least the age of 20 years the male at least 22 years dr kazanowski covered in his lecture the childs mind and how children are very perceptive in their understanding of your love your resentments or lack of love and they return what they are given every child rebels against a parent or both parents at a cer tain age but will return for par ents love on a more mature basis after a while dr kaczanowski was the only canadian member of the editor ial board of the journal of exis tential psychiatry he is now clinical directorat whitby hos pital outlook improved dr kaczanowski stated that the outlook for the psychiatric patient whether he suffers from a neurosis or a psychosis has immeasurably improved during the last ten years the probabil ity that he will be able to bo treated without hospitalization has grown rapidly and if he does go to the hospital his stay is likely to be much shorter the possibility of a relapse is greatly reduced and the degree of recov ery measurably greater than it was in the years immediately following world war ii people without belief or hope the bein are empty and lack incentive however unlike psycoanalysis the newer approach of applying existential to therapy works on the existence of a soul within sugar a pice bill smiley mawl theres one thing about canadian weather youll never die of boredom this is my thought

backyard of naveldeep snow with a gale howling about the house its refreshing by george i have neither patience nor sympathy with those traitors who complain continually about our canadian weather what we should do is pack them off to england where it rains all the ruddy time or ship them to the desert where theyd be stunned into sullen submission by the brutal thump of the daily sun or pay their passage to the tropics and let them mould in the mildew of monotonous dampness we should be proud of our winters for example theyre mean lough old devils grimly clinging to their reign until theyve wrung the last ounce of resistance out of us some times i swear one more week of cold weather would have everyone in the nation at each others throats then conies one of those incredibly soft caressing days then the wind is velvet from the south the sun licks ice and snow with hotravishing tongue gutters gurgle and theres a lovely stink as the wrappings are peeled from the rotting buried
