j5 j the stouffville tribune thursday october 10 1963 jeditariai a record show draws the 108th annual markham fair can be written into the record books as the finest rural exhibition ever held in the history of that com munity everything wa3 of a stand- nrd of excellence and out of that massive crowd of 25000 we failed to hear a single complaint from a single individual either exhibitor or cus tomer three major projects were final ized this summer on the fair site value cannot be measured the value of the water tank truck recently added to the equip ment of the stouffville fire brigade through the whitchurch twp feder ation of agriculture cannot be meas ured in terms of dollars and cents although it cost an estimated 3000 to put the tanker in roadworthy con dition it will pay for itself many times over on calls into the country already chief walter smith has air cadet rec cadets whether it be air army or navy form an organization which is one of the best citizenbuilders the country can have here in stouffville we have an air cadet squadron and during the next couple of weeks this squadron will be putting on a drive for additional recruits for the unit there have never been cadets in our local high school although such units operate in a great many schools throughout the country however the local high school staff fully rea lizes the importance and benefits of cadet training and is cooperating with the civilian committee of the stouffville squadron so that any of the young men in school who are in terested in this training may have the opportunity of being informed regarding the organization the aims of the air cadet league of canada are three fold the league endeavors to encourage the a record attendance the completion of the arena the con struction of a new race track and the reerection of the grandstand all proved advantageous it was a twoday display of wain work and organization even the weatherman cooperated to the full this markham fair has set a standard that will be difficult to ex ceed indeed it will be a goal even to match it in dollars and cents credited the use of this vehicle in saving one home and in less than two weeks it has been summoned to the scene of four fires and all by some coincidence have occurred in the township of whitchurch we would judge that in ninety er cent of areas where there is no hydrant service the chief cause of property losses is due to a shortage of water the tanker is a form of insurance at a pretty reasonable rate miring drive attributes of good citizenship io stimulate an interest in aviation and space technology and to develop a high standard of physical fitness mental alertness and discipline over the years the air cadet movement has provided generous financial assistance to enable many graduate air cadets to complete their education the major scholarship presently available covers the first year of aeronautical engineering at the university of toronto and is valued at 750 discipline looms high among the benefits something that has been so lacking in many of our modernday homes young men between the ages of 14 and 18 years can do no better than invest a portion of their spare time in this training they will be provided with skills that will be of assistance in careers to follow at the same time becoming better and more useful citizens of canada small opposition while we have little major fault to find with the ontario administra tion as conducted under premier leslie frost and more recently john robarts we do believe the small oppo sition side of the house is not a good thing for any government we had expected that the liberals would pick up a few more seats to put at least a little more balance into the provincial government however this was not to be and undoubtedly- their poor showing was due mainly to the type of campaign put on by mr wintermeyer a scandaladay com- paign got him nowhere it merely sickened the electors a strong opposition tends to make government a little more dis creet in its attitude towards the pub lic there is always that possibility that when new legislation is brought forward government can take the attitude whos to stop us this can be definitely bad for the province it is the same attitude which brought dont stand up and dont be too hasty in standing up to cheer about the 510 additional old age pension and the proposed pension scheme of the federal govern ment we presently have in ottawa a government which is establishing records which will not win them any popularity contest they have the highest debt and are on the way to giving canada and particularly its working people the highest tax rate in pressing the country more and more into a welfare state they are taking more and more from those who work to give to those who dont work a grand way to encourage inflation as government digs deeper and deeper into the working mans pocket and the employers too who is forced already to pay a full 50 r of some of government schemes prices will undoubtedly go up businessmen have no alternative in this connection if they want to stay in business costs of new pensions are always smoothly explained by the politicians and by the time they get through it sounds wonderful for the average workman the problems of his old age have all been solved so he thinks but before he stands up to cheer he might give a little thought to the tomorrows which will come along in the interval before he cashes in on what he thinks is a bonanza it sounds wonderful to hear that the government will provide a pension plan however the government is not good the downfall of the liberal govern ment in ottawa a few years ago it is to be hoped that premier robarts will keep a wary eye out for this danger locally congratulations are due to major lex mackenzie who has been the longstanding choice of york north electors while it is fully recognized that the local mem ber js possibly the elder statesman of the house and could be expected to seek retirement from the rigours of political life he has nevertheless been a member always with an open ear for his constituents major mackenzie could be counted on at all times to give a sympathetic hearing to any resident of the riding who had a problem with which he was able to help while mr plaxton brought with him into the fight all the youth and talent one could ask for and made a creditable showing a veteran such as mr mackenzie is hard to dislodge cheer just yet already headoverheels in debt and can only provide this pension out of his pocket if the employer wants to keep operating he will have to pass the pension fund contributions in the form of higher prices right on to his customers who then is going to pay in he long run you of course you will have to pay every last cent of it out of your wages dont fool yourself there are no christmas presents from the govern ment it has got to be a race to see which party can give away the most of our money there must be some other way to help those in need be sides squeezing the last cent out of the wage earners income tax we suggested one help a few weeks back that of cutting off these handouts to the thousands who dont need it hundreds of thousands of can adians are already subscribing to pension plans and no one in ottawa has yet come forward to say what is to become of them will these people now be asked to put up more of their wages for a second plan such tax gouging is unthinkable but dont be too sure little by little government has been taking our thinking and our spending once started these schemes are hard to stop and it is suicide for a party to say no there seems only one alternative and that is for each party to try and outgive the last santa claus chain of demand msfg the way anne koss no one silting down for a succulent turkey dinner next monday would deny there ought to he a monument to the man who discovered this bird well there isl it is carved on the lectern of the local church at boynton yorkshire in england credit for the discovery of the turkey for our holiday dinners is usually given to the pilgrim fathers those doughty emigrants who to avoid persecution for their religious views left england in 1620 and sailed for the new world and freedom in the little mayflower to express their graitude for their safe arrival and for their bountiful harvest in 1621 they celebrated with a sumptuous feast which featured wild turkey with cranberries as well as the abundant fruit of the land the first thanksgiving dinner however the real discover of our friend the turkey was william strickland who commanded a ship under sebastian cabot on one of his voyages of exploration in the spring of 1530 the fleet anchored off the coast of south america and strickland was in charge of a foraging parly which went ashore for food after bartering with the natives for some ot the large semidomesticated fowl which were snared with lengths of tropical vine the turkees were brought aboard t ship and boiled in a cauldron and served to the hungry crews the men so enjoyed this delicate meat that strickland stowed a number of live birds in the hold and took them with him back to england ninety years before the pilgrim fathers landed in the new world most british turkeys to this day are descended from those imports while our domestic birds are probably descendants of the wild turkeys of new england retired from the sea in 1550 strickland bought a manor at boynton and applied for a coat of arms choosing for his crest a turkey subsequently the squires arms were carved on the lectern ot the town church there the turkey sits today tail erect and throat out ready to gobble well this weekend busy mothers will be preparing for a special thanksgiving dinner for this is the harvest festival when the whole family including aunts and uncles and cous ins too will gather together to celebrate when on monday all is ready and dinner time arrives the food on the table the guests seated and words of thanks have been offered for all the blessings enjoyed during the past year there may be a lull while the turkey is being carved so heres an idea you may like well ahead of dinnertime make some little candlesticks one for each guest using orange- coloured gum drops miniature marshmallows or perhaps thick round slices of carrot and into these holders stick small birthday candles ask each guest in turn to light his own candle and while it is alight tell the the story of some previ ous thanksgiving or state what he is most thankful for on this thanksgiving this should keep everyone occupied while dad carves the bird and hell probably appreciate not having all eyes turned on his efforts at carving and on thanksgiving let us remember the words of william shakespeare o lord that lends me life lend me a heart replete with thankfulness sunday school lesson goiijex text what know ye not that your body is the temple of the holy ghost which

our last lesson that corinth was a notoriously immoral city that many of its church members had been saved out of a life of immorality but some had apparently not realiz ed that liberty in christ and salvation by simple faith in his finished work did not leave them free to sin that grace may abound also as will be realized particularly by those in military service in school or in husiness life a morally sick atmosphere is infectious this it was that there were cases of immorality in the church mem bership at corinth in the pre vious chapter the apostle paul had shown how these should be disciplined the cancer of moral failure cannot be allowed to continue unchecked in the church of christ if necessity arises ihere must be serious surgery this is a much needed lesson for our day for the lark of discipline in our churches though not only or mainly on moral grounds is probably the greatest single reason for ineptitude a christian who is continu ing to tamper with sin has obviously not grasped the won der of his high calling in christ paul writes as though what he lias heard about these corinthian christians is in credible and can only be ascrib ed to ignorance do ye not know he asks them no less than six times in this chapter he obviously feels that once they realize their privileges in christ they will cease to live on the low levels of fleshly indulgence we also need to be reminded of our exalted call ing as christians in order lhat the things of time and sense may lose their dominating appeal you will notice that in this chapter thp apostle paul has been dealing with

fighter pilots although i am forced to confess that a good many of us were not as young on sunday morning as we thought we were saturday night i shuddered deeply when the longdistance call camn through and the familiar voice chortled hullo willie dutch here each time dutch calls which is every two or three years i whisper gently to myself oh dear 1 know perfectly well that whatever he has in mind will be intriguing but ex hausting we have a peculiar relationship he taughl me lo fly spitfires about 20 years ago in england ten years later jib walked into a hotel in a canadian resort area grinning broadly and said hullo willie t had nol seen him in the meantime next day i went off with him on ihe most unusual fishlntf trip ive ever experienced hes an australian of great charm a certain ruthlessness a fantastic energy and an extreme individuality add to thes a keen mind and a rare flair for the wild caper in some moods and vou have most of him except that hes a bachelor and doesn i have to cope with women and children and responsibilities and all that rot when he comes up with one of his hairraisers the infuriating thing is that he always arts as though one of these ordeals he gets me into is purely medicinal a tonic rather than a mankiller twas so this time fighler pilots partv in montreal thought it would bp good for you ive booked tickets for tomorrows flight should he a good bash 1 grinned into the receiver in sickly fashion as this devil s advocate went on and my mind whirled through the domestic and economic obstacles between me and the reunion with halfhearted promise to see what 1 could do i hung up that was 1 began lamely lo the old batlleaxe why dont you go she queried it would be good for you so help m i havent been so shaken since ihe day i found myself over holland at 8000 feet with no engine youre kidding i finally blurted that was dutch and he wants me to i know we en nt afford it but you should go youd enjoy it this is like a preacher telling me he sees nothing wrong with sin my first thought and i was immediately ashamed of it was that the old lady was having an affair willi ihe milkman or somebody and wanted to gel me out of the way for the week end i felt a little more comfortable about the whole thing when ihe made me promise to take out s100000 in that air travel insurance the kids were unashamedly fascinated by the idea you mean if you crash well be rich hugh wanted to know well it was a good bash and i did enjoy if most of it was a bit chaotic with names and squadron number and roars of delight as old friends spotted each other but a few vignettes stand out in my mind there was the old fighter pilot whose thrifty wife had packed a lunch he clung to the paper bag as to a liferaft through the lunch reunion and the afternoon reception and ive never seen anything finer than the sheer naked courage with which he doggedly attacked ihe thing at 430 in the afternoon there was ihe real live spitfire chap had assembled ii l the ijikeliead and had flown it down for the reunion ii put on a show in what is probably the last flying spitfire in ihe world and the eyes of the old boys majority of whom hid flown spils were almost wet with nostalgia and booze as they watched the utile lady go through her paces there was he awesome exhibition of hairfine precision living aid cold nerve of canadas famous golden hawks with ihe old pros looking on the boys really put on a show that made most of us glad wed been born 20 years before these jets were invented having strayed from ihe main group as i so often do i watched the air show with a little french kid about eight who came and stood beside me he spoke no english i only a little french but we had rapport we said wow to gether every time the jels seemed certain to collide he shook hands gravely when he had to leave pour le supper my only regret is that the fighter pilots dont meet every year instead of every two or three rut as one of them explained to me if there was an annual hash like hat one in a very few rars ihcie wouldnt be any fighter pilots left they couldnt stand the pace
