1 tml stoufrvui jwkjw twafcy uy 2s mm editorial why not deal regardless of the fact that our neighbors to the south would be hor- rifled why should we not trade with china a recent dispatch from alvin hamilton minister of agriculture advises that other countries are streaming into china to pick up or ders for all types of machinery farm equipment and many other lines special favors for clergymen are people just like the rest of us it is their responsibil ity to obey the laws of the land like everyone else and in the majority of cases this is what they expect some are even critical of being handed favors because of their occupation rev harold oxley of scarbor ough said recently in a panel discus sion that he had been slopped for speeding on four occasions and never once been given a ticket his experience will be the envy of many laymen who have not been so fortunate they will appreciate his comment that he and other clergymen of his acquaintance felt that this sort of discrimination is with china which we in canada produce canada is a major producer of ihe products which china needs certainly uncle sam wouldnt like it but on the other hand he does a number of things in the world game of checkers that we in canada dont like as well it would appear to me that were missing out on a big mar ket just over american politics clergymen improper special treatment for the clergy has a long history and in days gone by covered discounts in stores and other considerations to reduce costs this attitude grew out of the years when clergymen were paid very little cash it was a homely touch which went along with pioneering how ever times have changed and it ap pears that it is now a source of dis comfort to many gentlemen of the cloth we would say that traffic tickets are in a different category than store discounts as everyone knows it is the view today that its okay to get it wholesale if at all possible dont be misguided or misled ken zeller gr 12a many a person has gone through life and found little or nothing he liked working at or doing this could have originated from his earlier years in high school when one of his fellow students or teachers remarked you would do so well if you took that up as a career one might be good in many things but he must enjoy that which he has chosen and not what others like if you have your future set on a certain goal then stick at it and you will succeed much further in life than had you followed someone elses wsh in this regard we may look at our forefathers who always thought it right or a privilege to do as their fathers had done now we all know for a fact that we have different ideas and we do not all desire to be farmers firemen or even a town reeve every person that goes through life does so with different aims and goals is different in his likes and dislikes all people may be created equal but they do not possess the same characteristics or the same ambitions as time goes on so do our opportunities and ideas time goes on and chances change by course from foul to fair from better and to worse the sea of fortune doth not ever flow she draws her favours to the lowest ebb her tides have equal times to come and go her loom doth weave the fine and coarsest web southwell remove the handcuffs the lady deputyreeve of picker ing township has criticized the reeve for acting on his own initiative and calling a meeting of sectional public school trustees to discuss any pending problems posed by bill 54 this act of the ontario legislature that is now law will dissolve the present trustee system in favour of an area board program we feel that it is of vital im portance that such a meeting should be held and we feel that the reeve was not exceeding his authority in making these arrangements the ma jority of municipalities affected by this bill have already concluded in formal discussions on the subject and its time pickering moved in a similar direction in that township it is even more important since the population could warrant not one but two dis tinct area boards this action will be taken by the minister of education but a little helpful advice from the council could steer his thinking in the right direction the deputyreeve charged that the reeve had no right to make such arrangements without approval of the whole council since he could not speak for all members we feel that the reeve has such a right and in do ing so would not be speaking for any one the right to speak will come around the conference table and cer tainly everyone within certain limit ations will be entitled to his or her say at that time as it now turns out the deputy- reeve was debating only a principal since she has now expressed favour in a general discussion on the topic her resentment however prompted the reeve to cancel the meeting and thus delay further any direct ac tion on the issue we agree that the reeve should not attempt to operate a oneman council but in this same regard his powers of authority should not be relegated to that of a glorified chair- sunday school lesson golden text righteousness exaltcth a nation but sin is a reproach to any people prov 1434 approach to the lesson we have only to view listen to or read the news to be made aware of the risins tide of na tionalism in the world and the threatening problems that this brings it is easy to regard na tionalism as a good thing in ourselves but a bad one when it affects the relationships of other nations to us the emer gent peoples pose problems to us and our desire not to be dis turbed but the christian who loves his own country should be understanding about the natural desires of other coun tries to be equally loved and recognized in addition we should realize that neither we nor our country arc always right and we should be prayer fully sympathetic bearing in mind that there are at least equally sincere christians in these other countries feeling as we sometimes do the tug of conflicting loyalties to our na tion to our lord and to his people our missionaries too are caught in the crossfire when national loyalties clash and need special grace to walk in wisdom probably those who are least conscious of nationalistic prej udices suffer the most from them for there is nothing so ir ritating to other peoples as the takenforgranted superiority of some western peoples who assume that the world accepts our own assessment of that su periority we need a patriotism which while being loyal to our own country sees that loyalty as best expressed in an overid- ing love for god and the people of that world whom he so lov ed as to give his only begotten son and which therefore con cedes the right of all peoples to a precisely similar patriotism to our own christians have the great re sponsibility of setting an ex ample in this field and the two very brief passages of scripture on which our lesson is built will help us do this the heart of the lesson almost all evil is something good which has run to seed that there is danger in exces sive nationalism is very evid ent in our contemporary world but seeing this there is the fol ly of throwing out the baby ihr touffmlu

symptoms of the national ulcer are everywhere the ferocity of the canadian flag argument the lurking threat of violence in quebec the growing defiance of police by youth gangs the increase in

the norad command canada contributes approxi mately two hundred million dol lars or 11 percent of its total defence budget for north ame rican air defence united states contributes two billion dollars for this same purpose or 5 per cent of its total defence budget but canada on the other hand makes no contribution to the united states rctalitory icbm and sac bomber force we learned that north american defence is based upon three principals 1st diplomacy 2nd the threat of massive retaliation 3rd actual defence forces such as bomarc nike zeus mis siles and a variety of manned interceptors there has been a great deal of discussion t concerning the bomber threat of the russians and what our defence capabili ties are against these threats when you consider that one russion bomber has the destruc tive force of all of the bombs that the united states dropped in the last war then you con sider the russian bomber a very real threat we now have adequ ate defence against the manned bomber but no real defence against an icbm attacks but just as diphtheria polio and small pox have been effectively countered so has the manned bomber threat of the russians it is true that e do not have a defence against cancer or the icbm but great progress has been made and the first research priority at norad is to develop an effective antimissile missile here in the house of com mons last week second reading was given to bill approving in principal to provide for a single chief of defence staff the honourable paul hellyor min ister of national defence listed these recommendations of the

tins down zz information i farm report zero grazing can be costly says ag rep a a wall agricultural representative york county i suppose its a sign of the times that i seem to be getting more and more inquiries about zero grazing for dairy cattle this is another example of prac tical farmers having to question some of our long established farm practices the reason for the interest in zero grazing is not that there is any pity for an old cow being forced to do her own harvesting the real purpose is to get the highest possible oft each acre of pasture a good number of york coun ty dairymen are now zero graz ing successfully most will est imate that it can almost double carrying capacity pasture mix tures can be kept a good two or ihree years longer and pasture can be more uniform over the lull season new problems zero grazers will also admit tnat the system brings on some nsw problems costs are higher for both machinery and labour harvesting seven days a week often in wet weather is not an attractive part of it and sched uling so that there is always crop leady at the right stage maturity takes good planning and luck with the weather too i think its good to try zero grazing for a year or two but as a permanent system it has a lew too many tricky problems those with small acreage who are under pasture pressure year after year will quite likely find that silo feeding in the summer is a more practical answer for those who are just on the fence between natural and zero grazing i suggest jetting the cows do their own harvesting but with a few improvements the changes would be in really putting pressure on pasture with fertilizer weed spray elec tric fence and good pasture mixtures increase in costs my guess is that zero grazing can easily cost three or four hundred dollars a season for machinery and labour this same amount of money would cover quite a ftw acres with a heavy fertilizer programme and if the herd is rotated well over the field carrying capacity on many farms could be substanti ally increased other changes in cropping practice are letting us use much longer rotations continuous cropping of some fields is now possible this makes possible al most continuous use of fields near the barn with shade and water for pasture i cant see much wrong yet with natural grazing providing some real ef fort is made to get the best growth possible and its still cheaper to cut grass with cows than with a lot of purchased nuts bolts and gasoline services and new methods of prepraing government estimates on the home front unemploy ment in midapril is at its low est level since 1957 there is a decline of 59000 unemployed persons from last year and a drop of 53000 from march the labour force has expanded by 201000 people and employment increased by 263000 during the last two federal campaigns i said many times it was the re sponsibility of the federal gov ernment to provide job oppor tunities for 1 million canadians in the next five years after one year in office the federal lib eral government is right on target roamin around the finalized sale date on the mansion house property in stouffville has been extended to june 1st according to local realtor peter walley of the shea firm everyone has been guessing what new use if any will be made of the premises weve heard everything from an honest eds store to a hotel and liquor lounge neither is true at least for the present says mr walley its operation will continue unchanged except perhaps for some minor downstairs renovations the fish and chip chap who appears to do such a thriving business through the sidewindows of his mobile volkswagen in town has agreed to assume the operation of the park refreshment booth this summer james churchill is the man and we wish him well in this service for it is just that a service to local and visiting park patrons speaking of thriving business there appears to be a tremendous pickup in trade at the 5c to 100 store on main street better arrangements of stock plus an organized advertising program could be two of the big reasons we cannot agree with the tribune editorial of last week with regard to the flag issue we are wholeheartedly in favour of a distinctive canadian flag and we give prime minister pearson a pat on the back for his unswerving stand on the issue in spite of considerable criticism perhaps you can recall that mr diefenbaker once discussed this same question when he was in power but unfortunately for him and his party he was a pretty good talker but a pretty poor doer nothing ever came out of it our good friend mike starr has been quoted as suggesting that the matter should be put to a vote of the people this in our opinion would be a wholesale waste of money just as it would be utterly ridiculous to centre a federal election around such a subject i say lets get on with the job jack sanders will soon need a new bunting over his postal domain anyway speaking about flags the red ensign on top of the p a booth at the markham fair race tack appears about ready to fold up and die we understand that their new liberal president wants to have the honour of raising the three maple leaves when the decision is soon finalized the current labormanagement problem between the union and the firm of amalgamated electric corporation in markham has us completely confused we would like the answers to three simple questions is it not possible that the betterpaid employ ees from the toronto firm arc more experienced and therefore worth more money did not local employees from thts area know the wage scale at amalgamated before they applied t if local workers are not happy with the current wage rates is there anyone stopping them from resigning while we are on this topic we feel the markham village council acted most wisely last week when approached by an employee protest group connected with the amalgamated dispute although the members may be interested in the issue as private citizens they could not possibly allow themselves to become involved as a council body especially with a concilia- tion hearing less than two weeks away how would you like to take a stroll through the sccnle countryside on a warm spring evening and suddenly be con- fronted by two legs dangling from a tree a few inches from the ground that was the sight that met the eyes of a couple recently in markham twp death was attributed to suicide a sight one wouldnt forget for a day or two former police officer here harry heatherington was in court last week but in a different role than once accustomed he entered pleas of guilty for a couple of local lads involved in liquor offences a rather generous gesture we would say a greenwood girl miss shirley gardiner deserves a good deal of credit in providing mouthtomouth respiration for mrs agnes wilson stricken with a fatal heart seizure recently although unsuccessful miss gardiner showed great presence of mind in such an emergency she is a nurse in training at the oshawa general hospital we have yet so see a prettier picture in brougham this spring than twins colleen and carolyn burton nestled side by side in their doubleseater baby carriage these healthy little girls are the daughters of mr and mrs howard burton the k in ten wilkes sign came loose from its moorings on monday of last week and fell to the sidewalk ii hit no one and due to the lightness of the material it is unlikely that it would have caused any injury if it had come in contact with some unsuspecting cranium the rural folk do not resent the urban dweller the privilege of enjoying weekend picnic lunches along the roadside if only they would clean up before leaving too often papers and scraps are left behind creating an unsightly mess in this same legard one resident near dicksons hill told us this week that a chap had purchased a load of chickens from the stouffville stockyards on saturday and was busy plucking his fowl on private property jetting the feathers fail where they may a summer roller skaling program is now underway in the uxbridge arena something that might have gone over in a big way here but was never started you can have your trotters and your pacers ill take the chariot racers the three chariot events at markhams spring fair on saturday were the most colourful highlights of the entire show in our opinion if only more entries could be coaxed into this competition it would make for even more excitement certainly the spectators at markham were caught up in the thrill of these races as was noticeable by their reaction wally klernan is handing out cigars but not for the usual reason the markham riaza druggist scored a holclnone last week at the willows course and everyone in attendance on that day received a free stogy the only requirement was to come into his store and pick it up wally says hes even willing to give out a few free tips on how its done it is good news to learn that a local girl may return to act as instructress in the stouffville figure skating club next season jean winterstein has been approached for the position and could add a real spark of enthusiasm to the organization we hope she accepts the julyllko weather last week did not catch local pool manager andy williams napping he had the water ready and waiting for the influx of children and many took advantage of the chance to cool off by the tvay anne ross since slimmer weather has overwlielmcd us with such sudden impact cool clothing has become of prime importance to our comfort and every homemaker is confronted with the problem of keeping those cool summer whites clean and sparkling the various synthetic fabrics including dripdries are such n boon lo busy mothers for their care is easy if done properly first of all we should remember that very few synthetics are compatible to chlorine bleaches so we must have a supply of allfabric or perborate bleach on hand for stain removal white nylon materials have a tendency to absorb dyes from other fabrics so should always be washed separately never with coloured clothes this absorption sometimes occurs when the garment is being worn for instance a while nylon slip worn under a coloured dress may pick up dye from the dress in such cases treat while nylon lingerie as well as drip dries that look a little offwlte to a colourremover bath packages of colour remover may be purchased wherever tints and dyes are sold and complete directions for its use is contained in the package there are all kinds a glazed cotton clothing being sold this season and the shiny surface can be preserved if the garments are laundered in soap for detergents will dissolve the surface glaze if a polished cotton has lost its shine through improper laundering some improvement can be obtained by soaking in a solution of one package of clear gelatin to a quart of warm water this is the gelatin used to make jelly desserts and the crystals should be dissolved in a little cold water before mixing with the warm water gently squeeze the solution from the garment roll in a bath towel and then iron on the right side cf the material while still fairly wet this treatment win also give new life to organdies rayons lace and any fabrics that do not starch in the usual manner hope these tips help you keep thoie summer whites fparkling
