ft 1 thf stoortviue tsjstwf tmnii apri editorial pulpit message the report in last weeks issue of the tribune submitted by a mem ber of the anglican denomination and touching on remarks by christ church rector rev john l ball con cerning racial problems in the south ern united states has aroused the indignation of many local townsfolk and prompted several to submit let ters to this newspaper this week we must admit that rev ball makes one point that we must heart ily endorse he suggests that cana dians should not interfere in issues that have developed into a major problem within some areas of the usa here and here only we agree how would we as canadians like it if americans came streaming across the border and became both physically and verbally involved in our current quebec controversy wed promptly tell them to mind their own internal affairs there are many persons partic ularly in the city of toronto who ap pear to enjoy involvement in exhibi tions of protest they will grab a sign and parade up and down the sidewalk at the slightest provocation their demonstrations have become so common that their sincerity of purpose has lost all sense of value and arouses concern meaning we therefore are strangely suspicious that this is the same type of personnel that is ready at a mo ments notice to become involved in another countrys affairs lets make sure our own coattails are clean be fore we start meddling in anothers problems after this particular point we must part thinking company with the rector he is alleged to have said that should the negro be permitted to vote it would result in soma states in negro domination over the whites in closing he concluded by saying that it would be far more christian to help the negro improve his living conditions than to agitate for his right to vote how naive can anyone be we feel that the real reason the negros living conditions are so low is because he has not the right to vote or many other equal rights and privileges for that matter surely the pastor does not suggest that such a practice should be allowed to continue surely he doesnt condone the tingod dic tatorship government that has been established within the state of ala bama by governor wallace and his cohorts if thats christianity then count us out assured of success for the second time within one year the nhl oldtimers have been the invited guests at the mark- ham arena and for the second time in succession they have performed before a standingroom audience on each of these occasions the markham minor hockey association has come out as the financial winner to the tune in total to close to 52000 every season here in stouffville we scrimp and scrounge for money to support our minor clubs and if it wasnt for the financial backing of the lions club it is unlikely if the program could be continued it ap- doesnf after may 3rd of this year a new ruling under the jurisdiction of the department of municipal affairs will make it mandatory that a public hearing be held in connection with all divisions of land in stouffville presently under subdivision control prior to the hearing adjoining owners will be notified and they may pears that no one is willing to take the gamble if it is such and invite these former pros here for a one- night stand naturally they have a basic fee for their services but past performances have proven that this sum is peanuts as compared with the profits received this community is fortunate in having the manager of the nhl oldtimers residing right in mark- ham and it would take only a five min ute phone call to john lunau to set the plans in motion its too late for this year but another season soon rolls around sound sensible appear to present objections there is nothing wrong with this procedure but it appears rather ridiculous to hold a hearing before a 3man committee of adjustment when no objections are received this move would seem to be only so much more government red tape and a foolish waste of taxpayers money were reminded of our indians canadian indignation which has swelled up over events in the south ern states concerning the negroes has reminded us of minorities in can ada the indians and the eskimos their lot has fallen far short of what it should be some ten years ago the then minister of citizenship mr pickers- gill made the statement that he was looking forward to the day when indian reservations would disappear he was certainly taking a long look government is still looking the reser vations still persist and the indians are still on them much in the same state as before it may be news to some people that the canada pension plan does not provide coverage for either in dians or eskimos somewhat unlike the american coloured man the in dian and eskimo minorities have al ways lacked leaders who could make their complaints known we know the tendency is always to oil the squeaky wheel it seems apparent that until they can muster some highpowered in dignation and someone to voice it they will have to get along with an occasional polite platitude about the evils of this system in which they are entangled tribune cartoonist wins national award i advertising

editors moil rr 4 stouftville ont the editor stouttville tribune stouffville ont dear mr thomas one hopes that the reported statements of the anglican rev erend balls sermon on the southern negro were mistaken ly taken out of context just imagine some of those south ern states actually governed by black men just because they form a large majority obvious ly then they would insist that their white neighbours join them in living like swine as rev ball put it and they might even discriminate against the poor ku kiux klan if this is an expression of christianity we are glad to be heathens keith

dear sir it must have been a source of great comfort to many socal led christians to read or to hear the opinions expressed about our black brothers in the south by a local member of the clergy as reported in last weeks issue opinions expres sed in a sermon too many of the negroes in the american south live like swine he is reported to have said how blessed are we here in the canadian north where only a few white swine live like human beings yours very truly allan sangster and spice by bill smiley 31 march 1965 85 cliffcrest drive scarboro ontario dear sir i would like to thank you very much or your assistance in advertising our annual model railway show we had a lot of people zrom stouffville who saw it in your paper also from as far away as ottawa and niagara falls we had a total of one thou sand and twentyeight people at our open house and raised five hundred and fourteen dollars for the scarboro medical surgi cal research foundation this makes a total of four thousand and zorlythree dollars that we have raised for charity with our model railway thanks again your truly dorothy sproule 85 may tree ave april 2 1965 the tribune stouffville ont dear sir this winter and in nasi win ters also the picking up of mail and the mailing of letters has been a hazardous under taking at the stouffville post office especially for older ner- sons since they have to walk down a sloping sidewalk some times partially blocked by auto mobiles and climb a number of steps to reach the door or the mall chute perhaps the post office de partment would give considera tion to the following first move the mail chute to the main st wall between the entrance doorways so that mail can be deposited from the main st sidewalk second that an opening be cut in the main st wall where the stamp vending machine is now and doors installed so that the mail boxes can be reached directlv from the main st sidewalk the main post of fice counter area can be closed off also by doors after business hours this is not a criticism of the caretaking staff at the post of fice who does an excellent job of keeping the snow and ice clear ed from the sidewalks and steps but it is obviously impossible to keep the steps and sidewalk areas cleared of snow and ice every minute of the 24 hours respeetullv r p mackay everybodys doing it watching the world lately i lind it hard to believe that

pattern is the same clubs swinging women scream ing skulls cracking blood spurting hammering ones fellow citizen with a billyclub is one of the leading outdoor sports of this generation its difficult to believe that all the hatred and viciousness among men is based on colour or religion the pakislanians and indians loathe each other theyre the same colour dif ferent religions the viet nams and the viet congs murder each other with mutual relish same colour same religion tn south africa whites kick blacks around in north africa blacks kick whites around in both cases religion is immaterial in south america the rich kick the poor around aid they all go to the same church in north america wives kick their husbands around same colour same religion different sex if it isnt racial or religious or sexual what then is the basis for all the pounding of other people is it simply f that if you dont smash the other fellows skull first he will kick you in the groin or is it something more simple and primitive just a savage joy in the letting of blood in pain and cruelty its hard to know an anthropologist will say one thing a psychologist another and a good bartender could probably come as close to the truth as either it is my experience that the tensions of race creed and colour are completely artificial it is only when they are fan ned by ignorance fear or malice that they burst into flame ignored they dissolve ard vanish the other day 1 was supervising an examination f something to do i looked down a couple of rows of students and checked off their national origins they were swiss polish dutch german italian norwegian anglosaxon there were jews and roman catholics and protestants of a denominations they didnt even look as they should have a redheaded german and a redheaded jew a couple of swarthy black- haired mediterranean types called smith and jones and i happen to know there is no hatred no tension over race or religion or pigmentation in this group there is only the normal clash of personalities based entirely on individual likes and dislikes in 1943 1 trained at an raf station in england on my course were pilots from half a dozen european countries from canada and the us from africa and australia from trinidad and india and from all over the british isles colour ranged from silverblond norwegian through coffcchucd maori indian from new zealand to coalblack west indian religion ran the gamut from agnostic to fervent rc from baptist to moslem we were like brothers on my 2l3t birthday having sprained an ankle badly in a rugger game i couldnt

more than 1500 person who attended the auction sale on the property of carmar wesley i4th ave markham twp it was without a doubt the largest crowd we have ever seen at a farm auction anc cars were double parked for a distance of at least one mih from the sale site the throng of cash customers or just plait sightseers was so concentrated out in the area of the imple ments that it was only after an hour of looking that we finally found the auctioneer and ken prentice is not a man that easily hidden from view we couldnt tell if he was sellinj seed drills or milk stools but since we had no need for either commodity it didnt really matter the sale was wellhandled by the two auctioneer brothers with clarke taking care of the household articles ken disposing of the implements and the two combining their vocal talents on the huge herd of beel cattle the ground under foot did not lend itself to high heeled shoes and toe rubbers and ours are still marooned in the mire if they werent tossed into the auction ridg com ments from the crowd indicated that prices were exceptional ly good throughout the entire afternoon the main topic o conversation centred around the condition of the owner mr wesley still confined to the scarboro general hospital he was badly injured more than three months ago when his fish- hut was struck by a car out on lake temagami near hailey bury he is making a good recovery however and will likeiv be released from hospital in about three weeks time a tape recording was made of the cattle sale and later plaved in his hospital room mr and mrs wesley will take up residence in the former geo hoover home oit no 48 hwy north of markham village a significant factor in the success of the sale on saturday was the marvellous cooperation of neigh bours in the community and also members of the markham- unionville lions club things could not have been more effi ciently organized if the owner had done it himself as one man put it hes been a good neighbour to us and it was only right that we should return the favour it couldnt have been shown in a more appropriate way many people feel that the death penalty here in canada should be retained we think its a barbaric custom regard less of recent editorial comment in this newspaper that spoke against its abolition in a recent report from the justice department in ottawa it was revealed that in two particular hangings one accused man took ten minutes to die while an other lasted fifteen minutes on the end of the rope a rather consoling thought isnt it mr willis taylor of goodwood is the fust owner of a brand new car from sanders rambler agency he has put- chased the ambassador model that fully equipped carries a price tag of about 3700 one of the brightest night spots in town is the new fac- jory addition at the stouffville machine tool works the structure is hidden from main but its lighting display can be fully appreciated from a point on mill street were you a victim of an april fools joke one chap in town was instructed to place an urgent call through to toron to 4872274 and ask personally for mr wolf he later learned that he was talking to the caretaker at riverdale zoo the

harold wood was almost forced to go out shopping for some property for himself on saturday after noon when his own office on main street caught fire congratulations to bing ing son of mr and mrs roy ing of harolds grill who received his canadian citizenship papers last week unconfirmed reports are circulating in the pickering area that councillor bill newman may be a candidate for the con servatives in the new provincial riding that was created recently in the district that now excludes the city of oshawa it has been reported also without foundation that excoun cillor ross deakin may also toss his hat in the pc ring it must be quite obvious by now that the blinker light erected at coppins corners on the brock road in uxbridge township is not a practical solution to the accident problem at that intersection collisions continue to occur there with regularity high school students are continuing to press for a town coke shop where they can gather after school and on week ends to dance and listen to records we feel that this would i be a fine thing if adequate supervision could be maintained local residents who viewed the movie version of peyton place must surely have wondered if similar situations could and do happen right here in stoulfville we say yes not only here but in every town and village across canada right now we are in the process of digging into facts surrounding a most sordid case in markham one that if proven to be true would by comparison make peyton place sound like a story out of a sunday school paper actually theres nothing too secret about this whole affair since we understand it has already been before the courts so far those persons closest to the information arent saying loo much and you can hard ly blame them was your hydro bill exceptionally high weve heard so many complaints during the past week that were now con vinced that we are not the only ones who burn the midnight oil excuse me hydro our bill exceeded 52900 net the highest ever and we only added one new batch of diapers to the dryer gordon crowder stouffvilles most energetic town em ployee is to receive an hourly rate this summer that will even exceed the minimum wage act stipulation now what do you know about that he will keep the local main street tabletop clean for 175 per hour he had requested an even two dol lars but settled for 25 cents less the town never looked as neat until he took over this chore and we appreciate the serv ice he performs now on a windy day you can at least find your way across the road without a guide line parents of

of the late chas cooper and never seemed quite the same following his death it was standingroom only at markhams first spring figure skating carnival on saturday night and persons we talk ed to were thrilled with the program sloufivillcs own karen lewis was given a rousing ovation both before and after her solo number the audience was most responsive throughout the entire performance and the club
