hinmiii6nsinmniiniiiiinn cannot pay its way weatherwise stouffvilles com munity swimming pool has enjoyed one of its best seasons since its open ing except for a few cool weeks in june attendance has been excellent instruction classes have been filled in spite of the publics response it is unlikely that the pool will pay its way indebtedness for such a service should be no shocking disclosure and we doubt that many people will complain for this reason we feel the ma jority of taxpayers would bear no ill- will toward council if a few additional dollars were channeled in this direc tion at present the town covers only the cost of maintenance the rest of the tab is assumed by the lions club some years its a sizeable figure where else in stouffville do so many children enjoy so much sum mer fun at so reasonable a rate what constitutes noise the township of uxbridge has no antinoise bylaw on its books some residents within the municipality feel it should their concern of course is personal they resent the night time operation of gravel trucks and gravel pits in a narea where they themselves reside their problem is real but their solution is not the definition of noise goes much deeper than the rattle of a crusher or the roar of a diesel these are things that a council must consider before it embarks at random on rules and regulations that it can never en force in most cases the clerk can simply acquire a carbon copy of a similar bylaw approved in an adjacent town or township and adopt it to suit the need for which it is intended with the problem of noise such is not the case the ones we have read are ridiculous and would be tossed higher than a kite if aired in the courts an officer of course can always bluff his way by brandishing a worthless piece of paper but such solutions are usually shortlived we feel that any municipality ux bridge included can control the after- hours operation of pits by simply passing a bylaw setting out the times when they may open and close this would also tend to control the nighttime flow of trucks in and out of the gravel area pit operators are quite public relations conscious and we feel most would be willing to co- operate but to ban vehicles from the road on the basis of noise alone would never work such a move would con stitute a form of discrimination that could not and would not be tolerated good government for 25 years despite the fact that oppositions have been woefully weak on occasion ontario has prospered under the same conservative government for 25 years in fact the conservatives have provided the government in ontario 50 out of the last 68 years george drew took office just 25 years ago after nine years under the liberals he was succeeded by thom as kennedy as a caretaker leader until leslie frost was elected at a leadership convention he success fully guided the party to three elec tion victories in 1951 1955 and 1959 john robarts his successor has won elections in 1963 and 1967 the record is only matched by the social credit in alberta the quartercentury has seen dy namic development in ontario the province is the most prosperous in the country bulging with economic growth while it is hard to assess what part a political party had to play in all this without it it is doubtful if the party could have maintained office so long a onceaweek wash if youve observed an unusual cleanness about stouffvilles main street within recent weeks its due to a onceaweek wash approved by council the cost of this program is 19 and its worth it the days of the old broom and wheelbarrow are gone we hope they will be forgotten what took one man many days to accomplish can be done in a matter of minutes its another advantage of automation and another problem flushed down the drain musselmans lake in early autumn although the fall season is still officially two weeks away mother nature does not always abide by calendar dates there was a touch of autumn in the air at mussclmans lake on the weekend as cottagers enjoyed the last long holiday of the summer this picture was taken from the south lake road looking to the northwest staff photo iiiimimiiiniiihmimminmimiiiiiiiiiiiiimnniiiiimmiiiiiiiiiinimiiiimmimihmmminiiiiiiih sugar and spice september affair by bill smiley every year bout this time i have an affair whether my wife likes it or not i fall in love and let the chips fall where they may i have my sep tember affair in movies and novels that title means that a man or woman falls in love in the fall of his or her life it has a sweet nostalgic note with a touch of sadness in it but ive had a september affair since i was a sprout every year i fall in love with the month of september and it is sweet and nostalgic and a little sad and achingly beautiful as a tyke it meant coming home from two months of wild free run ning about at the cottage one of a big family we were sunburned and bramblescratched and just a couple of jumps ahead of the gopher or the groundhog socially what a thrill to be home flip a light switch flush a toilet in the big old house with the high ceilings and cool rooms after eight weeks of grub bing it and then the magic of modern living rediscovered it was out into the streets to find the kids and race around in the glorious september evenings playing run sheep run and redlight and hide and seek mothers called but nobody came it was the first fascination with the sep tember affair our mothers seemed to sense it and let us have a last fling before life became serious and au tumn dimmed the lamps as a teenager working five hun dred miles from home in september i had my affair there was a churn ing yearning to get back to school friends football and the interrupted romance with the browneyed girl it almost hurt physically as a youth there was the headi- ness and tension of going off to col lege a big word in september a strange and frightening place a small town boy in a big puddle new people new manners new every thing a september affair and at college the first year there was the wrenching affair with a south american wench sylvia we met by chance and it was wrenching because she had to go back to rio in four weeks and i was really gone and i knew id never see her again and we wandered in the soft sep tember dusk hands clutched and my heart turned over in its grave then came the war years and there were a few memorable septembers one on the niagara peninsula with the grapes and peaches lush and the thrill of knowing i had passed my elementary flying school and could put the white flash of a pilot in my cap one in england hot and hazy and langorous after a cold wet summer and the weekend leave in london twenty years old and a pretty girl on your arm and death lurking in the wings and caring not too fast it went one in normandy and jump o lille and jump to antwerp and life every day on a tenuous whitehot wire and the beautiful weather and the terrible daily disappearance of paddy and mac and taffy and dingle bell and nick and freddy and that long hot september of 1945 home alive unreal the fam ily the places the peace the boredom and then the silly young people back at the university but the september affair with the trees and the cool blue sky and the long dark hair and yet another pair of brown eyes browner than ever and the next september marriage to the browneyes and a wonderful week at the old cottage in quebec with this strange woman canoeing and swimming and me teaching her how to cook and shes just as strange today twentytwo years later and just as browneyed and a lot of septembers since golden and blue with the last breath of summer in the green trees and the first kiss of fall in the cool nights and the magic that makes me fall for the ripe charms of that ripe lady of the year september oozing with plentitude gorged with the fruits of summer yet wakening with a sigh to the brisk business ahead i have a bad crush on the lady this week next summer of sadness by ray argyle to allow opposition political parties on the ballot it is this crucial differ ence between democratic and non- democratic states not necessarily communist witness spain and for mosa that should be kept in mind the czechs at any rate were not to be allowed to go that far down the road to decadent capitalism the storm signals went up when the dub- cek regime let it be known that it would turn to western europe and perhaps even that citadel of hated capitalism the world bank in wash ington for credits and loans to lub ricate its squeaky economy the prospect of a satellite state becoming an economic outpost for the capitalists- was more than moscow could stomach the order went out for the tanks to roll across the czech frontier where they remain to this day it was naive for any of us to ex pect that the czechs would be allow ed tlie freedom which their evolution ary form of communism appeared to be bringing but while moscow could quickly and efficiently put down a hungarian revolution in the 1950s it faces a much more complex task in dealing with the czech evolution of the 1960s to say nothing of the other satellite states the great powers have tradition ally operated with a free hand in their respective spheres of influence they still have a free hand as far as outside intervention is concerned russia pulled back from the cuban confrontation and has stayed out of vietnam just as the americans look- ed the other way when the commun ists uuilt the berlin- wall and have now inarched into czechoslovakia resistance from the little nations has proven more effective in moder ating the policies of the big powers czechoslovakia has proven this for all that the outcome of czecho slovakias summer of sadness has been tragically obvious some small signs of hope emerged from events there the past two months if anything the obstinate and vir- tually unanimous defiance of the czech people against their russian masters proved that it is becoming increasingly difficult for the big pow ers to impose their will on their smaller neighbors the czech crisis of 1968 and the hungarian tragedy of 1956 spring ing out of nearly identical back grounds have developed in quite dif ferent directions the hungarian revolution was set off when groups within that satellite state attempted to overthrow their communist regime and set up a new prowestern government violent in origin it ended violently russian tanks put down the revolution czechoslovakia came by its political upheaval through evolution not rev olution the duly constituted com munist government was reorganized by its own executive under new lead ership which then set out to moder ate and liberalize the regime and its control of the peoples lives in western eagerness to embrace with open arms almost anyone who defies moscow short of the chinese reds many people in this country have forgotten that czech leader alexander dubcek was and presum ably remains a loyal communist the socalled liberal regime in prague aside from permitting great er freedom of comment in the party press and seeking trade contracts with the west did not fundamentally change the partystate structure it is possible that had the czech experiment been allowed to proceed it would have reached the point fear ed by moscow that point would be tfte wrikum established 188s c h nolan

harmless looking gadget that sends me into seventh heaven last week at the conclusion of one of these toothchattering episodes i commented to a waiting customer on the benefits of such a machine if you want something even better he advised visit a professional ma sseuse male or female i en quired take your pick he replied i decided then and there that i would do just that on saturday afternoon i did the appointment was for 5 pm had i not clipped the advertisement out of the paper i would never have found the place the parlors were lo cated in a small secondstorey apart ment on eglinton avenue there was no sign outside the inside door was locked tight but a typewritten note under the bell read ring once and wait for ser vice i followed instructions in about half a minute my patience was re warded the door opened and there stood a girl with long blonde hair hanging down past her shoulders she wore a pair of beige slacks and a bright orange sweater with the sleeves sliced off at the shoulders she fitted snugly into both ive been expecting you she said please follow me the narrow trail led up a long flight of stairs into a small room that contained a kind of bed- table an elevated bicycle a steam chair a hair dryer and one window that will be seven dollars payable in advance she said i handed her a ten and she returned immediately with the change she then prepared the bed covering the top with clean white sheets i stood there motion less not knowing what to do next take off your clothes please she said i yanked open a door think ing it was a change room bul it was only a closet containing mops brooms lotions oils and other odds and ends i couldnt get in hang them up on the outside not the inside she in structed pointing to a protruding peg first came my shoes and then my socks then came my shirt and my undershirt we stood facing each other chest to chest my heart pound ed like a sledge hammer lie down on the table she or dered a trifle impatient but first re move your watch and your pants my what i answered glow ing as red as a proverbial beet your pants your trousers she replied with that her phone rang and she left the room i proceeded to unbuckle my belt and my pants plummeted to the floor if she can stand it i guess i can i thought to myself she returned eyed me up and down from head to toe i felt like a candidates model for playboy magazine this is my first experience i mean my first time i mean ive never been in one of these places before i admitted i can tell that she replied lie down she went to work first she annointed my entire rear assembly with oil my neck my back and last my legs following that it was sunny side up for a repeat of the same application the sensation surpassed all descrip tion she was the kind of a girl that put everything into her work and i mean everything my blood pressure ex ceeded all legal limits and at times i had to fight to breathe and no won der her long blonde locks brushed my bared chest with every push and pull and other unmentionable acces sories werent far distant the overall operation lasted a good halfhour and i enjoyed every minute of it she thanked me for the opportunity to be of service i assur ed her that the pleasure had been all mine would i do it all over again cer tainly if i ever have some extra dol lars to spare but with another ex pectant mouth soon to feed the chance of a repeat appointment is quite unlikely its a case of you cant have your cake and eat it too
