jeditarial liberal stock hurt uespite prime minister pear son reshuffle of his cabinet liberal stock has undoubtedly been hurt by the dorion report and by the prime minister playing politics in hanging on to discredited ministers to appease quebec this is the most disturbing element in the whole affair retain ing guy favreau in even a minor post when he should have been shown the door in a hurry is merely a move to try to retain favour in quebec m is certainly evident to the rest of canada that the prime minister has got himself into hot water by surrounding himself with too many old line french politicians like the french in fiance they have absolute ly no scruples when in comes to poli tics and will turn any sharp corner to gain their ends tht announcement that mr- favreau will have special responsibil ities in the field of dominionprovin cial relations is a joke certainly his record in the ministry he has just left will never inspire any confidence with any of the other provinces we have a most high regard for mr pearson as a diplomat but in this latest shuffling in his office of prime minister he has let personal loyalty go against good judgment and has shown a continued tendency to play around with the old quebec party machine that has shown itself to be anything but trustworthy there is no question but liberal stock has suffered in these latest moves an unfortunate accident on monday evening of last week an 1 year old stouffville cyclist suffered a broken right leg when his bike slammed into the side of a car on main street it was the first serious accident here since the honda craze hit this community to say we told you so is a cold meaningless statement but such an occurrence has been predicted here for some time even by the bike- owners themselves these machines or most of them just arent heavy enough to stand up under high speed operation and at least a halfdozen young lads have ended up on the seat of their pants when the bikes have skidded out of control on sharp turns in no hero in the management of the mark- ham community swimming pool em ploys a standing rule that no person with long hair may enter the water without a bathing cap this regula tion applies to anyone man woman girl or boy of course by todays standards of good grooming 99 pet- cent of the bathers effected are girls last week a teenage boy appear ed on the scene sporting a beatle- type cut that all but covered his eyes he was immediately informed of the longhair rule and told to put on a cap or leave he objected and left to a few who witnessed this scene the lad at once became a sort of hero i didnt want to be push ed he was quoted as saying delving addition many boys lack the neces sary experience to handle them and in an emergency they just hang on and hope for the best by an odd coincidence john willis was not a reckless rider in fact according to his friends he em ployed good common sense and cared for his machine with a good deal of pride fate shows no favours how ever for one unthinking second he will be forced to spend much of the summer in hospital its unfortunate that someone must suffer injury to set an example for others especially a likeable lad of john willis type put we hope that his misfortune as serious as it is may prevent a recurrence of further mishaps that could prove fatal our books a little deeper into the matter we learned that the youth a nonresi dent had also run into trouble at his school in downsview over the same problem and had been cautioned at another pool in metro it wasnt that this 14 year old was so opposed to wearing the cap he just didnt want to do what he was told he objected to standard procedure before he or others like him go through loo many more years of their young life theyll be told and theyll listen open resentment hurts no one but themselves we give credit to the mark ham pool manager for sticking by his guns the lad was the only loser in this case no paradise ask anyone in a small town what he would like about living in the big city and hell probably talk about theatres hockey games wrestling matches night clubs and the like he may point out that any night of the week there is something doing for those fortunate enough to live in the city ask any big city man what he would like about living in a small town and hell probably tell you about restful living good fishing a few minutes drive from home and the pleasure of talking over the back fence with the neighbors in practice however it doesnt always work out that way after a hard day at the office remember the its interesting to recall that its just ten years ago now that it became illegal for packing plants and meat firms lo package bacon in wrappings with red stripes the idea was to prevent the processor from creating the illusion that the bacon contained more lean than it did ten years have gone by but it doesnt look as if the regulation has really served much purpose racon is presently wrapped so that you al most have to put your foot on it to across the street and a tough battle with traffic on the way home the city man is often too tired lo take in a night at the opera or an evening on the town more than likely he putters around the house and he may even get to talk to the neighbors across the back fence the small town fellow often finds himself so involved in good works and the social round that he doesnt have time for fishing or the life of leisure he probably has meetings to go to which keep him out most nights of the week if all goes to show that you shouldnt expect to find paradise on the other side of the street the good life is where you find it and as the fellow said we might as well be here as where we are bacon rumpus force open the cellophane window in which the bacon is all nicely laid out in peekaboo fashion did you ever notice that the arrangement of the slices is contrived to suggest that the product is almost all lean meat one is invariably crushed when he opens the package at the disillusionment only way around apparently is a law to make it necessary for the pack age to show the full slice but even then we could be fooled if the slices were stacked one upon the other t huiffuillc irihuue established im member of the canadian weekly newspaper association and the ontario weekly newspapers association a titur onieum mail rtoflu l on

stouftviue ontario july jo 1965 the editor the tribune stoutfville ont sir it is with some hesitancy that i write you this letter but i think its time that someone spoke out in support of your recent editorial concerning a lack of leadership in an overall sports program in stouffville im not taking anything away from the men in both hockey and baseball who are trying their best to promote these ac tivities here on the contrary i really feel sorry for them for they are doing their best under extremely difficult circum stances we only need to look to our neighbour to the south to com pare notes at markham espe cially during the summer they have a sports program thats really organized softball teams galore and now lacrosse we here in stourtville are continually bragging about our marvellous park facilities free gratis but we are not taking advantage of them referring once again to markham we at tended a game there last sum mer with the nhl allstars the crowd was estimated at over- 1500 last winter the nhl oldtimers played in their rink the crowd was est imated at 1200 last week a team of clowns from california were in town over 1000 people attended their arena program is now a yearround venture with something going on almost every night of the week here in stouflville the rink is locked up in april and except for some special event is not re opened until september what a waste i think its time we pulled up our socks organized sports are good for our children for teen agers and our town but well never be organised as long as the program is allowed to op erate in such a slipshod man ner if the town has to spend a few dollars thats fine with me weve been coasting along on handouts for years its about time we handed a little back sincerely a taxpayer and spice v syi f plant cuttings take root many woody plants can be increased by means of soft wood cuttings state horticul turists with the ontario de partment of agriculture softwood cuttings are taken from tite wood of the current seasons growth they should be approximately four to 6 inches long each piece being cut off just below the node or leaf axil when taking the cuttings use a sharp knife to give clean cuts remove leaves from the basal end leaving only the top few leaves the root end of the stem may be dipped in a suitable com mercial rooting hormone before placing in the growing medium plant the cuttings just deep enough to hold them upright in a good medium such as sharp sand vermiculite or perlite a cold frame or a box cover ed with plastic is a suitable place to root cuttings if only a few are required plant them in pots bulb pans or similar con tainers it is most important to shade hem from the sun and to keep the surrounding atmosphere as humid as possible do not allow the medium to dry out keep it uniformly moist but not satur ated cover the containers with plastic or glass be sure to ven tilate when the cuttings have started to root wkri cool toward heat year after year we moan about the bitter winter or dreary tail or the backward spring until july and august when wc take the rarefelt heat as a personal affront and whine increasingly along about the first part of july we usually get a little whiff of that hot weather weve been looking forward to since christinas nothing torrid just a little breath of warmth that a native of the tropics would sneer at so what do we do do we cast off our longhandled underwear and burn it in the streets do we have a big welcome party for genial old sol not we we totter around complaining even more bitterly than we did all winter we adopt a harassed air if we live in the city we dash from one tomblike aircondtioned building lo another inevitably catching a wicked summer cold in the process we greet each other with anguished groans and that old folksaying hot null let yuh some idiots try lo light tire with firewater willi remark able ease they convince themselves that a long cool one is the only way to beat the heat which is about as effective as try ing to put out a small blaze by pouring gasoline on il others have an even more silly solution their idea of gelling away from the heat is to hit the highway drive for four hours in extreme discomfort to a beach where they lie baking with similar sweaty citizenry before retiring to sleep in a cabin like a steam bath most of the preceeding remarks have to do with the male population poor devils i must admit thai women and chil dren stand up lo the beat better big reason of course is their attire or lack of it small fry have less clothing on them in this weather than there is in the handkerchief their old man totes around in his hip pocket women whose name is vanity are inter ested in acquiring a tan so expose every possible inch and ounce to the dazed gaze of the men womens summer gar ments are a delight to the eye and the ultimate in common sense maybe thats why ladies dont sweat but just perspire not so the men unless theyre on their holidays they face the heat with a suriy lack of compromise that would be admirable were it nol stupid most of them wear the same clothes in summer as in winter except for an overcoat the odd one will take oil his jacket a few sneakily remove their lies and the wild individual will roll up his shirtsleeves when it hits a hundred but thats about as far as theyll go the vast majority of men wear wool socks heavy leal her shoes long trousers of wool or flannel and the same shirts they wear in january one more thing that makes a man miserable in the heat is the amount of junk lie has lo carry in his panlspockels in cool weather he can spread it around in jacket and over- coal pockets but when be has only trouser pockels in which lo carry cigarettes lighter handkerchief coins car keys pen notebook pipe and tobacco golf tees sinkers and about 50 other essentials he looks about the shape of an old tree covered with fungus hot weal her is no for men they should all be given about six weeks oil in ihe summer while the scantily clad women and kids keep things going the men wont be happy until they snill ihe first nip of fall in the air and can start grumbling about the cold and what it costs to heal the place oxbridge twp area staff new complete all teaching positions in the leaching at bayview hgts she uxbridge twp public school area have now been filled for the start of tlte fall term in

new addition at goodwood is community icague including roamiit around its an ill wind that doesnt blow someone some good the finding of the abandoned baby in markham last week and the subsequent safekeeping as provided by constable and mrs rod junkin is without doubt the best piece of good police public relations to hit that department in ears pic tures and news stories have been published in every news paper across the country in addition lo coverage on tv and radio the wonderful thing about the whole affair is the fact that pc and mrs junkin are so sincere in being offered the privilege of taking care of this child in spite of the fact that they have six children of their own the baby has been the main topic of conversation on every street corner and in every home in the village although the wee tad doesnt know it he has grown from complete obscurity to become the most lamous personality in town even reeve alma walk er honoured the little tyke with her presence and took a turn on the end of the bottle lo show positive proof that she has nt lost her touch in that department either the babv still has no official name although there have been many sugges tions we only hope that the concluding chapter to this story can be as pleasant as the ones that have preceded it friends of john willis may get in touch with him on the 3rd floor of the scarboro general hospital

urged to contact the opa office or mr clark young as soon as possible the inquest hearing in the death of glasgow sodgrower ronald ross will be held on monday july 26th mr ross was killed when his plane crashed and burned on may llth its interesting lo learn that sloutlvilles own mike cadi- cux has caught the interest of a yankee scout and may be given a tryout at a local camp the way the yankees have been going lately it would appear that they could use his services immediately wayward dogs hi slouffville are no doubt jumping for joy these days since this town is minus the services of an official canine catcher the resignation of ollic pcllctt from the post in whitchurch has also left the position vacant here since mr pellelt served both municipalities the ontario humane society has been called in to in spect the premises of a parttime farmer on the 7th cone of markham twp wc have learned that several recommenda tions have been put forward and no charges will be laid if these orders arc carried out an interesting comparison occurred last week during a game between brougham and clarcmont in the clarcmont community league when the veteran bob miller of brough am rivalled claremonls geo redshaw willi a wild guess we would estimate an age difference of close lo 35 years be tween the two pitchers on the same subject an allstar leant will be picked out of ihe cuircmont league this month for competition against a rival club possibly brooklin all men set themselves up as professional judges of fem inine perfection we too hold some claim to that ability it was back in

pool how time mies residents of baker avenue are extremely pleased with the completed reconstruction job on their street well they might be in total ihe cost was something like 25000 for a distance of about 700 feet its rather amazing how some ladies have difficulty in driving the family car into ihe garage without denting a fender and yet they can wheel a grocery cart heaped high with a 20 order
