t9t 7 the stou tuukt ttoxuy n mt editorial activity plus again this summer memorial park in stouffville is going to be the centre of activity for local weekend stayathomes on the saturday just past our town park presented a real beehive of activity with everything going on from an auction sale to a ball game centre of attraction was the annual air cadet inspection and there were picnickers as well tennis players and a number in the swim ming pool on the morning of the same day more than three hundred youngsters received bicycle safety in struction on the same grounds we are quite sure that a great many citizens have little or no idea of the attractiveness of our town park or of the hundreds who use the fa cilities there each weekend if youre one of these take a stroll or a drive in town park into the grounds on saturday or sun day for a look around it will pleas you to see what the park has to offer and make you proud of your town knowing such facilities are available here no community for miles can boast any finer recreational centre than is available right here at home the lions club operates a refresh ment stand on the grounds for picnic and snack supplies and only recently the rest rooms were completely reno vated adding another facility many citizens do make use of the park as well as hundreds of motorists passing through on weekends if you havent had a family picnic in the grounds come on down and try it the facil ities are there for your use enjoy them salute to cadets cadets in high schools are still recognized as good training for the youth of the nation and it is regret table that the system has not been kept up to the degree which it once was however filling the gap have been the nationallyorganized air sea and army cadet units it is hoped that these students will never have to see service in time of war but the type of training and discipline they receive makes them better citizens in any walk of life the annual air cadet inspection for stouffville squadron no 94 held on saturday was a good example of the good this training does the young men displayed their efficiency in drill and dress they are constant ly receiving instruction in first aid wireless operation and other worth while fields they are skills which can be of great benefit to them in rounding out a full background when they take their place in society the cadet unit serves a very useful purpose whether it be in the school or on a community basis and for these young men the annual in spection is the highlight of the year a doltyourself program the stouffville lawn bowling club is not a large organization nor is its treasury abounding in surplus wealth yet it is safe to say that no group in town is more dedicated to its work than these members sel dom a season passes by that some project is not started and completed in a most satisfactory manner although money has been made available from several sources for other park construction programs it is seldom if ever that the lawn bowl ers have requested any financial assis tance t their clubhouse and greens are in excellent- condition a new walk has been laid and a 700 floodlight project is nearing completion a new fence will be erected around the east and south sides ot the greens and here again the members plan to donate 100 much larger organizations would do well to take a lesson from the lawn bowlers book instead of crying for continuous financial support this group merely rolls up its sleeves and gets the job done the members are proud of their accomplishments and rightly so their energetic attitude is a credit to their club their neat and tidy premises is a credit to the park we hope they enjoy a success- fulseason whats all the world is soon to see its first supersonic commercial airliner its now being developed by the british aircraft corporation in conjunction with a french aircraft company other countries such as the united states are also working on a similar program these countries will spend mill ions of dollars on this venture but why so we can fly to europe in half the time we now do so what to the ordinary traveller and theyre num bered in the millions and theyre the ones who pay the biggest percentage of the annual travel bill 100 off the the hurry price of the trip would have much more appeal than two hours off the travel time most of the time spent on routine trips out of toronto say to new york montreal ottawa is not spent sitting on the plane the time is used up to and from distant airports in cars and buses on congested roads and waiting in long baggage lines governments always seem to be able to find money to expend on these projects couldnt a little moreeffort be made to put the service within the economic reach of more people and forget about the speedup were sure thousands more would applaud report from parliament hill john addtmn mf north york canada was born of economic union the fathers of confederation worked to create a strong and prosperous nation they aimed to provide ample opportunity for future growth and expan sion now as canadas centen nial approaches it is clear that many of the political and econ omic objectives of confedera tion are a fact a vital feature of canadian political development has been the transfer of power through the years from great britain to canada this evolution has

company limited nadian autonomy as canada has achieved complete control of her domestic and foreign af fairs she has established her own identity as a separate and distinctive nation in her own right the growth of our nation po litically has been accompanied by striking economic progress the settlement of the prairies and the far west the growth of manufacturing in the central provinces the development of natural resources of the whole country and the construction of railways highways and airlines have built a strong and diversi fied national economy the success to date has only been achieved through coop eration among the various re gions and peoples of canada future progress depends on the same cooperative effort today in parliament we members see this principle at work in prime minister pear- ions concept of cooperative federalism federalism presents both an opportunity and a challenge to those governing canada the central government must have on the one hand sufficient pow er and resources to provide for national needs on the other hand it must not interfere with provincial rights to secure this delicate balance between federal and provincial author lty u the challenge saluting the flag the canadian constitution assigns specific legislative pow ers to the provinces and others to the federal government but as in other federal systems this distribution of authority can not be complete because gov ernment by its very nature cannot be operated in water tight compartments government today has assu med a much greater responsi bility than was ever anticipat ed at the time of confederation regulation of the economy employment and social servic es are now part of the govern ments responsibility moreover as the income of the provinces differ widely federal action is essential if any national stand ard of public services is to be provided cooperative federalism is close and continuous coopera tion between the federal gov ernment and the provinces each operating on a basis of complete mutual respect for each others jurisdictions and concerns it is far more difficult to se cure cooperation for social and economic programs provincial governments are highly sensi tive to federal intervention in these areas a good example is the canada pension plan which was placed on a satisfactory ba sis only after extensive and trying consultation with the provinces the difficulties undergone in the formation of the canada pension plan show that many problems of cooperative feder alism have yet to be solved for example what are the effects on national planning of provin ces can opt out of national programs without suffering fin ancial discrimination our present government has recognized that there must be special machinery for consulta tion if cooperative federalism is to function properly the ca binet standing committee on federalprovincial relations and the provincial relations secretariat which is within the privy council office have been established for this pur pose both of these agencies are federal they must be reinfor ced by others in the provinces for direct and continuous par ticipation round llt touffutllt fribuue mtauubxd tua

markham we came upon the still form of a large turtle parked in a rather precarious position on the west side of no 48 hwy being rather slow of speed and minus such safety features as a white flag or stares its chances of crossing the 66 feet of rapid pavement transit would be something like 1000 to 1 against eer seeing the other side not knowing the proper means of iiamlling such a sizeable beast we picked it up by the tail spca please ignore and carried the creature bodily some distanie to a local stream and let him go although he may never be reunited with mis turtle we feel that the waters

also quite high with a dollars and cents value of 200 not to speak of the family sentiment involved members of the stouffville lawn bowling club are perhaps the most energetic of any group in town the work they have done around their tidy premises iiis year is amazing and with no fuss and fanfare cither while many park projects such as softball floodlights swimming pool and tennis courts have been outright handouts this is not the case with the bowlers who arc rot afraid to dig into their own pockets for funds and then do the work themselves we stopped in at the sunny valley dance pavilion at mussclmans lkp on saturday night where a rock and roll band was playing if not to the largest crowd certainly the most active some ot the contortions performed by several couples on the floor could have originated from darkest africa the orchestra was all noise and no music and ten minutes of their gyrations w about all this writers head could stand instead of a stamp on the wrist the

switched last week donnalees beauty salon opening was crossed with the anniversary announcement at dicksons hill church our only conclusion would be that lady members of the congregation showed up on sunday morning with brand new hairdos any service station in slouftille that would like lo do a landoffice business in car washing should advertise this service at 5c the supcrtcst depot in markham

has changed as the school year draws towards its close i cant help looking back on the past ten months my first hitch as head of the english department in our factory with a mingling of amazement and amusement i am amazed that 1 hae not gone down for a third time in a sea of paper there were times when 1 rose to the surface only long enough to gulp a breath of ink before being swept under by another wave of essays or book report forms or memos my amusement stems from another source the old- fashioned image of the english teacher there just aint no uch thing as a modern image of same for many years the image of the english teacher was fairly concrete it was that of a wispy gentle spinster of either sex wholly dedicated to the written word the only person in town who actually read poetry some kind cf a nut who actually believed shakespeare was thrilling theatre when i hold up that image beside the gallery of charactets who taught english in my department this year i chortle there isnt even the most remote resemblance lets see now theres jack a vast oung man of great good nature and courtly manner who is a dead ringer for henry viii on one of the latters good das hes a beer drinker a collector of antiques and a former advertising sales man theres mac a former golf pro hes also an exbus driver exhouse painter exairman hes an inveterate punster who writes some pretty funny stuff as witness our pioduction this year of his masterpiece julius seize or in which the principal character was dr bladder fiom gaul theres jeanette fivefootnothing 9s pounds of doeeyed french canadian who spent the first six months trying to convince the other teacheis she was not one of the students who can pin a sixfoot 200pound lout into paialyed pctnficd panic with one flash of those eyes theres geoft the joung kngltslinian who came here after a year of teaching in a good english grammar school he planned to spend a year in canada as a lark he was horri fied at the freeanil easy attitude ot our teenagers he was appalled at our materialism and love of comfort now he has a car on the nevernever plan and is beefing about his salary in short hes become a typical canadian we also have a gal vh graduated in music a former ambulance driver an ex chartered accountant a dream- shattercl social worker and a lady who got sick of house keeping k k k k k k not only do these biids not fit the old image of the english teacher they dont fit the new one cither theres not a beard in the bunch an esthete in the ensemble a pansy in the patch and not one thank goodness is dedicated to tlje teach ing of english none shivers in ecstacy over a sonnet bursts into tears over the beauty of an ode but i daresay my polyglot hardworking crew has taught the kids more about english and about life than many an old gal whose idea of heaven was to make a journey to england and stand in reverence before the graves of the poets bread baking at pioneer village demonstrations of pioneer bread baking will be held at pioneer village jane street and steclcs avenue this satur day june 13 at 2 pm and 5 pm and visitors will have an opportunity to see how bread was baked in an outdoor bake oven by pioneer housewives the unique crossroads commu nity is being developed by the metropolitan toronto and re gion conservation authority as a living village of the pre- confederation era for the int

both siimmitvlcw and orchard park public schools will be held on monday june ifith morning activities will be held on the track at the high school with afternoon events on the grounds at orchard park its always surprising to see how many of the cadet boys keel over during the annual inspection exercises one thing about having this program in the park theres little chance of injury when the lads fall to the ground rather than a cement floor speaking about the cadets we noticed former command ing officer- harry hcatherington in attendance on saturday afternoon harry was the original promoter of air cadets here and did a good deal of hard work with the boys for several years is whipper watson over the hill wo thought his display against the beast in the local arena on saturday night was less than mediocre in his prime watson could have beaten that human specimen of a broadloom rug in a matter of minutes instead he appeared slow and ineffective most of the real action came after the final bell had sounded and even then whipper did nothing to cai n jils pay watson appears in excellent physical shape but he hardly worked up a sweat in saturdays outing this saturday june 13th the
