than 450 persons in stouffville over 58 years of age to determine the need and demand for senior citizen accommodation here the study has been requested by the council of the village of stouff ville and the result will be assessed by officials of the ontario housing cor poration all persons within the stipu lated age limit who receive a letter from the clerks office are urged to complete the questionnaire in full if the need for senior citizens hous ing is apparent a governmentspon sored apartment building will be erec ted here with unit rentals geared to the income of each applicant the minimum is 32 per month including services this project if approved would be a wonderful thing for stouffville and in particular the residents here who require and deserve this kind of high calibre accommodation at moderate cost but the project cannot become a reality without 100 per cent coopera tion of eligible participants to aid residents in filling out the forms that contain some questions of a personal nature assistance will be provided by the reeve ken laush- way the clerk ralph corner the manager of the bank of nova scotia mr williams the manager of the im perial bank of commerce mr reed solicitor h r button or any of the resident ministers for persons who wish to see a sen ior citizens apartment on location buildings comparable to the one that may be built here are now in use at newmarket and richmond hill the stouffville council has been successful in bringing this matter to the attention of the ontario govern ment the rest is now up to the ones who will benefit most from it do your part and help yourself and your neighbor home front first there is no secret about the long standing aversion of those of the mennonite faith to violence in canada and the united states the group has opposed wars and refused to serve in the military forces these religious beliefs were recognized a long time ago and they were granted special concessions from kitchener headquarters of the mennonite community and taking in groups in the markhamstouffville locality comes word of a campaign to be mounted to assist draft dodgers from the united states by finding them employment in canada the timing is certainly bad coming just at a time when canadian stu dents are finding it most difficult to locate employment all across the country such a move to give draft dodgers employment means employment de nied canadians before they get into organizing support for us students whose mo tives to say the least are mixed it would be a good idea to think of th wellworn adage charity begins at home police villages are dead the trustee board of the police village of unionville is still debating the pros and cons of dissolving the present status of the municipality to become an integral part of the town ship of markham this issue if it is such was the sub ject of discussion at a public meet ing five years ago but it seems the board is no nearer a decision now than it was then the truth is progress or the lack of it will soon be making the decis ion for the board services are re quired on every side but costs are prohibitive trustees hesitant to make a move are merely marking time and so is the village the trend today is toward larger areas of governmental control police villages are dead promises without a hope all the leaders in the present po litical race jumped on the sports theme by offering to do something about dictating where the nhl can place franchises and putting up a bet ter shoy at the olympics stanfield trudeau and douglas have all expressed concern about these athletes and have come up with various suggestions such as appoint ing committees to look into the mat ter there is no great difference in the approach from all three leaders the point is that the facts are sim ple and dont require any committee or investigators to point out the diffi culty in the case of the olympics the big question is one of sufficient funds and training facilities any existing sports organization has the answer the idea from the politicians that they can dictate to the nhl where it will place franchises is just a myth this is private business and will not be dictated to by anything outside of the box office most of the teams are now american owned and there is a good chance that before long the en tire direction of the business will move across the border the political leaders can talk and promise and stir up national sports pride but it is most unlikely that the canadian government could ever have the power to dictate the question of franchises the personal knowledge of sports by messrs stanfield trudeau and douglas is apparently very lim ited s c is xim bt6vihs isevasj

goes on as usual the landmark serves as a store and a residence for owners jim jim and evelyn cowan staff photo how would you like to be 17 spring time and sick well my daughter doesnt like it much either shes been cooped up in the house for about six weeks while the sun grows warmer the grass greener the leaves leafier and the juices of 17 year olds course through their blood stream mononucleosis never heard of it neither had i until it entered our do main it was as remote as malaria hepatitis and jungle mouth but it seems that everybody i meet has a neice or granddaughter who has had it these people almost invariably tell you that it takes about a year to get over it then there are the others who dont know anything about it except and they chortle its known as the kissing disease i have been told this at least eight times a day since kim came down with the scourge and the next person who uses the term even if its a sweet little old grayhaired lady is going to get a punch right in the nose im absolutely certain that my daughter has never kissed any body in her life except her dear old mum and dad well fairly certain picture a caged tigress eyes burn ing with yearning for a good bite of some of that life walking by the cage and you have kim then picture the same tigress toppling over on her side and rolling up her eyes until only the whites are showing and you also have kim its a most peculiar business it seems to occur to those who have be come rundown physically and emo tionally a lot of college students in cur the thing in the spring when the pressures are heavy exams are loom ing and they are generally pooped some of my best friends have sug gested that kim was in a weakened condition from eating my cooking all winter this is a dirty lie she put on weight one of the frustrating things about it is that theres no medication or cure for it except time and the bodys natural resilience i would suggest that if your body has no natural re silience if you cant touch your toes youre a candidate put that in your throat and lump it perhaps the worst thing about kims condition is that her sleeping schedule is all out of whack she can sleep until 2 pm and about nine o clock at night begins to come alive and pads around the cage until the tiny hours switching lights on and off flushing things and playing re cords gets to sleep at 5 am and is dead for 12 hours however thats enough about mono just wanted to give you the symptoms in case your kid has it normally in spring we tiptoe among the tulips this spring we tiptoe around the tigress this is not enough my wife is about to undergo an operation and even though she hasnt had it yet shes an expert she has talked to about 20 women who have had it and entertains me with gay little details about ovaries and uteruses and stuff daily usually at meal hours every time the phone rings she breaks into a cold sweat and palpita tions i called from work at lunch hour the other day to ask whether it was worth while coming home for a corned beef sandwich and she al most fainted dead away thinking it was the hospital calling she has her bag packed her py jamas washed and her will made she washes her hair every day in case shes called her legs are raw from shaving them every day some people tell her shell be a year getting over it others three weeks this makes summer plans raiher uncertain im seriously think ing of setting up a nursing home limited of course to postoperative cases and kids with mono ill be an expert and might as well cash in if i have to do the cooking and house work anyway i guess i shouldnt kick i havent the guts to keep a dental appointment i am turned to stone at the sight of a hypodetnic needle but it looks like a tough summer ahead for me and president degaulle mm twelve days to go although the june 25 election date is only twelve days away many in this area including myself feel that h the campaign has already been drag- ged to death the electorate appears j to be growing a trifle weary of the drum beating for votes and the hec- tic rat race of the past few weeks is h having a detrimental effect on the h politicians too if the campaign trail could be cut in half the interest of the voters would be maintained to the 1 very end and the successful candi- dates wouldnt require bank loans to 1 purchase oneway tickets to ottawa to a point im as enthusiastic as the next guy but about now the gla- e mor of it all is beginning to run a bit 1 thin i must admit however that like h thousands of others i was caught up in the trudeau spell when he visited markham may 25 but i still say that the public relations committee of the liberal party needs a thorough over hauling before the next federal cam paign rolls around for instance when former prime minister lester pear son had his maple leaf flag approved by parliament several years ago i rushed to the nearest five and dime and purchased an emblem for the car radio aerial i soon hauled it down when i learned it was made in japan then only two weeks ago my wife also bitten by the bug ordered for me a lovely trudeau turtleneck as a pre- fathers day gift i wore it only once and then returned it to the box from whence it came for on the back plainly stamped for all to see was the inscription made by stan field this week next the sick society by ray argyle the acts of assassins and wouldbe assassins are invariably the acts of lonely demented men but the now commonplace attacks on the lives of american leaders must be considered as something more than individual private insanities the whole of american society must bear responsibility for the ev ents of los angeles of memphis and of dallas these three events in five years plus thousands- of individual acts of political violence ranging from mur ders of civil rights workers to the bombing deaths of little colored girls as they prayed in church in the south write a stark final chapter to sanity in the political life of the united states for the united states in the 1960s that decade which beckoned so brightly with the promise of a new frontier has become a cauldron of hatred violence and division the great republic of the united states conceived in liberty and dedi cated to the pursuit of happiness has reached a watershed in its 192year history its citizenry is gripped in the vice of a brutal racism which denies the privileges of democracy to 20 million of its people its legislators blinded by the petty poor worth of a backwoods vote per mits the virtually uncontrolled traffic in guns which has now sent a bullet singing into the brain of another ken nedy the values for which the american nation has so long stood have always been admired by canadians this is no longer the case we must continue to share this world with america but we can no longer share our heart with her canadas prime minister comment ed iast week that the american em pire was collapsing just as the euro pean empire had collapsed at the end of the last war the united states is certainly col lapsing in the sense that events with in its borders have deprived it of any claim it may have had to moral lead ership in the world of course millions of americans are innocent of the dark events writ ten above but because the united states has claimed to be a responsible democracy they must accept their share of guilt the time has come in fact when it should be clearly stated that the whole of the united states bears a common guilt for what has happened to its colored minority for what has happened in southeast asia and for what has happened to john f ken nedy martin luther king and robert f kennedy could these dastardly events be a sign of what is to happen to human civilization are people so uncaring so blind that they will continue to stand idly by as minorities are perse cuted as television becomes ever more dedicated to violence as the rings of hate tighten society in their grip to eventually choke off whatever sanity remains canadians are fortunate they live in a tranquil society where private citizens and public leaders alike can pursue their lives reasonably assured that they will not be struck down by a bullet what now will happen to the gun control bill a law on which theus congress caved in to the gun manu facturers and refused to pass or the rat control bill which the legislators laughed out of congress oblivious to the fact that ghetto residents beat rodents back from the cribs of their sleeping children every night of their lives america is a sick society canadi ans must be prepared to go their own way from this day forward wht wribum established 1s88 c h nolan publisher jim thomas editor noel edey advertising published every thursday by the stouffville
