age 2 ihe stoutrvi tribune thursday april 16 64 editorial is councils own operation at fault how come when he does good he gets a paddling a member of markham town ship council has recently suggested that area or ward meetings should be held in the township to better ac quaint the public with councils prob lems to date he has received luke warm support for his suggestion by other members of council who poss ibly dont believe that the ratepayers are as illinformed as the member in question would have them believe certainly markham township council meetings are usually well- covered by local press in so far as they go what we mean by this state ment is the fact that by and large most of markham townships muni cipal business is done in special com mittee meetings not attended by either the press or the public only the conclusions reached at these meetings ever come before the public meetings so that it is quite reason able to suppose that much discussion which might be of interest to the public never reaches their ears or that of the press for this reason we can assume that councils own operation is at fault in not dealing more directly with business at public council meetings we do not suggest that council is actually trying to hide anything by doing business in committee but rather that they have innocently fallen into procedures which because of the lack of press coverage tend to keep the public in the dark we regret to say that what is going on in markham township is part of a trend by many councils school boards and planning boards the tendency is to conduct more and more business in private just so long as no one protests vigilance by the press has served to curb this tend ency time and time again generally speaking councils ac ross the country meet openly but are not barred from holding closed meet ings most councils which we attend are most coopeerative such matters as personal affairs of employees and dealings which could affect property values are generally recognized as subject to privacy however as in markhams case where most of the business is done in committee only decisions are made known later sometimes it is much later and lacks background and for instance where a member stands on a ticklish issue this could be part of markhams problem if as has been suggested the ratepayers are not fully informed on council business years take their toll the hockey exhibition in the markham arena on friday night be tween the nhl oldtimers and the former millionaires won the approval of more than 1800 fans who taxed the accommodation of the new community centre in spite of all the colour and ex citement packed into the program persons who recall the millionaire era of the 40s must surely have been touched with a feeling of nos talgic regret to see how time had moneyma f with winter hockey activities rapidly drawing to a close the heads of local leagues and individual teams will be looking forward to a few months of relief from pressures of organized sport- as much as this letup in duties is welldeserved and a five month rest is in order organizations with plans for the future should not let the summer slip by without taking ad vantage of its moneymaking oppor tunities the cost of hockey operation is so great today that leagues and teams that must pay their own way should endeavour to raise a few extra the need r canada is one of the leading na tions in the totality of its effort against cancer this disease ranks second as a cause of death in our nation perhaps nowhere in the world is our effort in the fight against this disease being duplicated this year will see an estimated 45000 new cases of cancer in canada last year 24500 canadians died of cancer 365 of whom were under tan years of age the canadian cancer society volunteers are keenly aware of these sober statistics they lead the world in their consciousness of the neces sity for regular health checkups this is the only method that will permit early diagnosis and save lives this society is an army of men and women working together as volun teers under a common banner founded in 1938 as a lay organ ization with the blessing of the cana dian medical association it helps to educate the public regarding the taken its toll on their hockey heroes of yesteryears regrettable as it may seem athletes like everyone else must grow old as stouffvilles own hal gibson put it my head knew what to do but my feet wouldnt follow friday april 10th will go on record as bringing together the finest assembly of exteam amateur talent ever congregated at one time under one roof it will long be remembered as a reunion of stars nor will their days of active duty soon be forgotten king months dollars during the offseason there are literally dozens of ways in which this can be done but it takes a little time and a good deal of effort the girls hockey team for example as small a group as they are have lucky draw tickets on the market and already have sold nearly 1000 with more on order such promotions wilkwork two ways it provides a financial padding for the winter ahead and also keeps hockey on the minds and before the eyes of the general public during the dogdays of summer it may seem like a big chore in june but come september its worth will be more readily appreciated a is urgent nature of the disease itclaims today the full support of the canadian people in its broad threepronged program of education welfare and the support of cancer research the fact that the cancer society has consistently met its rising cam paign objective for 15 years is evi dence of the concern felt by the people of canada in this disease and the faith they have in the society to fight it supported directly by funds from the cancer society are 200 scientists and technicians at work on 117 sep arate projects in 21 laboratories and universities across the country this april 2000000 must be raised in ontario to support the ra pidly growing needs of this research plus the broad education and welfare service programs without which there would be needless death and suffering the need for this money is as real and as urgent as any need on earth today farm safety program subject of talks the feasibility of a nation wide program to promote safe ty on the farms of canada will be dealt with at a conference scheduled for april 14 in

mckea advertising sugar spiee by bill smiley love that sunday last sunday was one of those days filthy outside with mud and rain and wind dismal inside with everybody bored and crabby i mooched around the house gloomily wishing the golf course was diy or the trout season open then i started thinking about what sunday really meant was ashamed of myself and cheered up considerably as some wit remarked to our ancestors it was the holy sabbath to our greatgrandfathers the lords day to our fathers sunday we call it the week end the sabbath is not of christian origin it was originally a jewish holy day on the last day of the week like most of the laws of the ancient hebrews observance of the sabbath was a combination of religion and common sense alan needs a day of rest in every seven he demands punctuation marks in the life sentence he is serving r i 1 1 however theres a vast difference between the sabbath of the ancient hebiew and the sunday of modern man the former lived a pastoral life when the sabbath came along all he had to do was lie aiound and count his sheep he didnt have to roll groaning out of bed after a late saturday night scramble around trying to get his family off to church wash the car or catch fish or play golf drive 80 miles to visit some relatives of his wife and tear home to watch the hockey game if it were not for sunday the saturday night batli would become obsolete u it were not for sunday many men would go through life without shining their shoes if it were not for sunday many women would never get a new hat sunday is a great comfort to those intent on getting to heaven they don sober garli and pious mien on sunday morning on monday hey go hack to the normal pastimes of trying to scramble to political social and financial eminence over the crushed and bleeding bodies and souls of their fellow christians secure in the knowledge that if there is a rush for scats on the judgment day they will have some pull with the management sunday means church church too is a good thing first of all it provides employment for ministers and employment or lack of it is pretty important these days secondly it provides probably the only place in modern society where people who like to sing but sound like hyenas can vent their frustration without someone telling them to shut up ir ir vc after church what theres nothing particularly chi istian about gorging oneself with food and sitting i a stupor looking at television what about a nice christian game of golf with no swear ing when one slices what about a little walk in the woods worshipping the

godephesians 521 approach to the lesson nowhere is the christian life subjected to as strong a test of its reality and power as it is in the home here we are known without the facade that can so easily be shown to the outside world here our every mood and weakness is clearly evident on the other hand there is no place where such a life will have more impact from the home there will flow bless ing through each member of the family to it will come those in need of spiritual aid in it there will be found mutual mi nistries of help and understand ing in our western culture that today includes many broken and breaking homes with so much heartache and delinquen cy there is a crying need for the happy balanced healthy and godly witness of the truly united christian family our lesson faces quite cand idly in the areas of tension that can develop in the christian family and in the most practic al way shows how these may be resolved we must approach our lesson with a real desire to learn and apply the principles it teaches fully realizing that however eminent and success ful we may be in the areas of the church business and social life if we have failed to evid ence christ in our home then that failure outweighs all other successes here is a subject as pregnant and farreaching as it is in itself beautiful the chris tian home it is not too much to say that the perfecting of home is the masterpiece of the gospel in its work and social blessing nothing on earth is so beautiful as a perfect home and it takes the name of christ and the grace of his spirit to produce the full phenomenon and then where the home is really per fect it is beautiful with a beau ty which must diffuse itself ar ound for home is the school of mutual unselfishness and such a school cannot send its schol ars forth in one way or another to practice the blessed art out side the doors carrying on the campaign of love extended from that happy base bishop moule the heart oj the lesson the christian home and fam ily should be characterized by both love and selfdiscipline it should always be seen as a re production of the relationship that exists between christ and his church this reproduction will never be perfect and often may become out of focus and badly blurred but the way of restoration is by application of the instructions of this passage these verses arc a brief hand book on the

nesting green thumbs are getting itchv for a whirl at cleaning up the lawns and flower beds and house wives have that glean in their eye that foretells a thorough turningout and cleaning now if our town fathers could only come up with a giant vacuumcleaner that would swoosh up all the dust and grit accumulated on the streets so wc could see our way when we walk down street wed really feel in the mood for spring spring cieanup usually involves some painting so a few paint tips would be in order right about now here are a few that might be new to you if someone around your house neglected to clean the paint brushes thoroughly after the last paint job soak them in hot vinegar and youll find they will become almost as pliable as new if its necessary to leave a paint job for just an hour or two no need to clean the brush just wrap it in aluminum foil to keep it from drying out until you get back on the job if the odor of paint bothers you add a quarter teaspoon of pure vanilla extract to each quart of paint and stir it in eliminates the odor and doesnt affect the paint in any way set a can of enamel paint in a pan of hot water for awhile before work begins and itll flow easily and smoothly with none of those tacky brush marks to mar the job got some tiny paint spatters on your window pane got a penny then place it flat on the glass under your thumb and firmly slide it back and

fiftydollar bill is best for bi focals roamin around the recent survey by radio station chum into the knowledge of canadian history among mctio high school students shows a serious lack of instruction in this allimport ant subject many of the replies to routine questions were ridiculous we would judge perhaps unfairly that stouffville students are no better versed in this regard much of the trouble we feel lies in the dry boring colourless manner in which the facts of our countrys histoiy are presented on paper its little wonder that few were acquainted with the position held by one geo vanier but 100 knew of the rhythmic exploits of englands ringo starr the drummer with the mop- haiied beatles speaking of student education while waiting in line for a hair trim at a local barbershop in town recently we observed one teenage lad about 17 unconsciously absorbed in some deep reading nearby curiously checking the content of thin literary masterpiece we found 11 to be a tom and jerry comin book perhaps the boy was giving his mind a rest from the easier exam cram call it sex appeal or anything you like but when it comes to selling lucky draw tickets members of the stouffville girls hockey team are experts at this art one thousand tickets went on sale only a few days ago and an additional thousand have since been ordered we are confident that girls hockey is heie to stay and the enthusiasm of these kids has earned them a right to recognition they could give some of the older boys a few pointers in this regard stouitville once had the reputation of being a good ford town during the sales days of the late dclbert holden every body and his brother felt right in style behind the wheel of a v8 during the midthirties dick coffey and jim hartley of coffey hartley motors have given the ford promotion hero a real shot in the arm and their turnover of newmodel mercurys comets etc have been downright amazing its good to see this pair doing so well after a couple of false

telephone co is not that big that they cannot pick and choose their personnel for public relations work stouffvilles own elaine forsyth has served in this capacity on several occasions and it was nice to see her on duty at the home show in toronto last week in addition to her beauty elaine has the personality to match a fine combination there is no fifth column activity in stouffville we under- stand that the weekly gatherings in the former telephone offica on main street here include members of the pentecostal faith from the clarcmont gospel lighthouse if you ever want to see business concluded in a hurry at a town council meeting let the session fall on the same night as a stanley cup playoff game on thursday april 2nd stouffvilles meeting broke up in less than one hour its too bad that these playoff fixtures dont occur on a monday night once in awhile whitchurch council gathering continue to drag and items that could be completed in a matter of min utes are allowed to drone on till nearly midnight we understand that allan anderson young stouffville district driver convicted recently on a charge of dangerous driving plans to appeal his i month jail sentence he has been

help themselves by removing their car keys and keeping their doors locked the sportsmanlike act of a young pecweeaged player in the stouffvillc arena last week at the conclusion of the minor hockey season was to this writer worth the price of admission after detroit had won the title in a wellplayed game goal- tender david skinner of the buffalo club skated the length of the ice to shake the hand of his young rival lyn forsythc in the red wing cage some pro players could take a lesson from this gesture patrons at the new victoria square restaurant are going to miss the smiling services of
