1 the stouftyiue tribunf twy dttfii 1 1963 editorial et la bouche er le nez er 3es yeux er la fete setting the standards too high what kind of standards do we tet for our public school teachers what do we expect of them once outside the four walls of a classroom do we expect too much recently a survey was conducted among the parents of children attend ing two schools in north york the results are published elsewhere in this newspaper it would appear that parents particularly fathers have established a special code of conduct for women teachers that does not hold true for women in other professions for instance they shouldnt smoke in public they shouldnt drink in public they shouldnt make poli tical speeches they shouldnt run for political office and they shouldnt go out on strike in a similar survey conducted throughout the whole of the united states strong disapproval was re corded for both men and women teachers on each of the aforemen tioned questions plus dating be tween teachers and students playing cards for money and absenteeism from church it is quite likely that if such a questionnaire was submitted to par ents here in stouffville the percent age result would be much the same personally we can see nothing so terribly wrong with a lady school teacher smoking in public any mora than a lady nurse or stenographer and why shouldnt she be allowed to make political speeches or run for political office we feel instead that this should be encouraged rather than criticized as for her attendance at church we feel that this is strictly a personal matter and really nobodys business school teachers are only human and should be treated as such to ad here to a special code of conduct as expected by many they would re semble nothing more than a tortoise with its head hidden under a protec tive shell the family doctor an inquiry into circumstances under which foreignborn medical people are admitted to practice in canada particularly ontario would be in order the medical associations have been accused of arbitrariness we feel that the public interest should come first there is a shortage of doctors when the need arises the patient is not interested in the physicians color so long as he is competent to effect a cure only recently delegates to the conference of health services at ottawa were told that canada faces a growing shortage of general practi tioners and the situation could soon become critical in many areas al ready the situation is precarious and they face a total disappearance of the family doctor the tendency to specialize in medical schools is pro ducing greater pressure on the few remaining general practitioners here in stouttville some of us are fortunate in having a true fam ily doctor that we can trust and hold in high esteem however some mod ern doctors are now bright young men who work four days a week have unlisted telephone numbers refuse night calls and have all messages re layed by an answering service it is indeed a fact that the fam ily physician is becoming an extinct breed rural areas are finding it diff icult to lure doctors but still many foreignborn medical people are find ing it equally difficult to obtain per mission to practice in this province lets not overdo it ever stop to think how many organizations there are in town all doing a certain amount of charitable work and taking the effort and time of a great many people if they all decided to hold consecutive meetings the combined operations of approving minutes reading correspondence and considering new and unfinished busi ness could well take the best part of b working day one enterprising newspaperman recently made an attempt to find out just how many organizations there were in his town he tallied up more than a hundred groups of one kind and another it can be estimated in stouffville that there are an average of a half dozen meetings every night in view of the fact that there are seven different churches along with all manner of clubs and municipal organizations in a short time now all these or ganizations will be electing officers for the new year its obvious that a number of people are volunteering their time and effort in a great many causes there are always just so many people who are willing to sup port these clubs and the more there are the more thinly spread is the effort between service clubs youth organizations minor sports school groups professional groups and church groups the involvement is tremendous possibly fewer organizations which might be stronger might do just as well but theres no doubt that many individuals spread themselves too thinly they could possibly be more effective by working harder in fewer groups we think its worth a thought canadians lead in world travel if dollars spent is the best yard stick canadians are among the worlds greatest travellers in 1964 canadians spent 230000000 travel ling overseas an increase of 33000- 000 over 1963 canadians travelling in the united states spent another 483000000 with a population nearing 20000000 that means canadians averaged 35 per capita on travel last year and probably spent even more this year on foreign travel we averaged about 12 a head which is higher than the 11 per capita registered in the united states one survey showed that 23 per cent of canadians planned to take vacation trips outside north america with nearly twofifths of them expecting to visit britain the runnerup and this will surprise was japan with 185 per cent more and more canadians are taking winter vacations and relying on weekend rests from their work in our summer time the jet plane is sending them to faraway places that are no longer so far away in time for those whose appetites have been whetted by a taste of the foreign the future is bright indeed

oneill secretary roamin around at the same time on the same day the same kind of attraction was staged in two dilferen ways in two different communities both were successful here in stouffville santa claus arrived from the north side of main street to take up residence in his familiar chalet down in markham st nick began his long ride atop the towns fire truck from the north side of ramoa blvd and west on hwy no 7 which attraction better accomplished its intended purpose for the adults the markham parade termed the best ever far surpassed a twominute trek through santas sittingroom in stouffville but santa claus and christmas itself as we now know it is not for adults its for the children what gives the kids the biggest thrill a procession of bands clowns and floats or a private con versation on santas knee this is something well never know we do know that markhams parade on saturday was a dandy we know too that 6s6 boys and girls enjoyed a visit with st nick in stouffville some of the same at tended both and the sparkle in their eyes told no different story the markham procession was good mainly because it wasnt elaborate you can see the professional stuff in tor onto in a village of 6500 folks dont expect it it took fifteen minutes for it to pass a given location and was led by pretty colleen cork batontwirling titlelist over hamil ton way there were bands three of them including the markham collegettes the scarboro sea cadets and the scarboro firelighters the best float in terms of work and imagination was entered by the markham veterans asso ciation under the nanieplate of the good ship lolypop the most eyecatching single participant was betty reeve aboard a highprancing arabian there were many close seconds too numerous to mention the crowds was tre mendous likely the largest in markhams history for one event they lined the curb on both sides all along the route expanding to three or four deep in the area of the shop ping plaas we must mention of course that alma walker the reeve of all the people was there riding in open convertible style with the chief of all the people fred white all in all we thought that it was an excellent effort and believe it or not we heard no complaints from any of the adults which in itself must be some kind of record while our thoughts are down markham way we notic ed a large sign recently on one of the back
