our provinces school children so we urge you as a- motorist to drive with extra care whenever you see a school bus in front of you or coming towards you you will recognize the school bus by its chromeyellow colour and whenever it flashes its alternating red signal lights front and rear you must stop in fact all traffic from both directions must stop this is true everywhere in ontario on highways country roads and city town or village streets and regardless of the speed limit the penalty for disobeying this law is a fine of up to s100 and 4 demerit points trie only exception is for motorists going in the opposite direction from the school bus on the other side of a multilane highway divided by a physical barrier there is something else you can do as well instruct yourchildren to follow the school bus safety rules learned at school to help the busdriver by behaving quietly and i by keepigseated until it is time to leave the bus v v- f i yfv v i x for more information on school

members of council will not be able to help you it will be too late to save our water supply as you well know we are approximately 1000 feet above sea level and the red tape at queens park causes the wheels of the big blue machine to grind ever so slowly the time and cost to bring an alternate water supply to stouffville from metro will be phenomenal are yo u and your family members prepared for

national railway is being asked to spruce up their premises in stouffville council voted to write to the cnr asking that they improve the ap pearance of the old station in stouffville which has been boarded up you should point out said councillor becky wedley that the centennial year is coming up would trigger another round of wild bidding alvin s farmer now in his 70s was certainly staging a comeback for several years he had been troubled by ill health including several near disasterous bouts of bronchitis but as he expertly played the crowd it became clear he was back in form mr farmer started as an auctioneers ap prentice at age 1g after hearing w f silversides a man still fondly remembered around these parts conducting a sale i heard him sell said mr farmer and decided this is for me apparently mr silversides agreed after my first sale he told me youll make an auctioneer said mr farmer with quiet pride apparently even mow over fifty years later he still cherishes the ac colade r he was apprenticed to mr silversides for 11 years before going out on his own in 1928 he was the first auctioneer to try a daring innovation cash sales before this all auctions were conducted on a creditonly basis the buyer would put down 10 per cent and sign a sixmonth note for the balancewhich was often impossible to collect fellow prophesied would sell price if demanded but alvin auctioneers that nothing at a decent cash were on the spot proved them wrong and his critics were- quick to follow his example that first cash saje made just as much ministry of transportation and communications

time said mr farmer then in 1952 i lost the ranch every mink died it was that bad horse- meat from canadafj packers but i sued em and beat em after two years in the courts mr farmer got full restitution from the company to pass the time while he was waiting for a settlement he turned to other pursuits the year i was out of mink ihad budgies recalls mr farmer with a mischievious smile a guess there were about 300 of them i sold them to the quebec stores for about 17 a piece he chuckled and then there were the rabbits of course mr farmer renovated some of the idle mink cages and went into angora breeding after the court set tlement he went back to mink again but wa eventually forced out of the business by rising feed prices it used to be 5 cents a pound for feed and youd get 30 for a fur but in 1974 it cost me 20 cents a pound for feed and the pelts only brought in 12 the little fellows out you just cant make it but mr farmer isnt bitter about the turn ofv events whats the use of going out and making a lot of money and giving it all to the government he laughed of course that doesnt mean that nothing is being raised on the farmer property i have canaries now he said
