of street clean upbut how long will it last members of the stoiiffville recycling depot have volunteered to sponsor a clean up day for stouffville next may as the rather grimy condition of stouff ville was the subject of a recent editorial i more acclamations than contests again nominations closed monday for the up coming municipal elections and as per usual there is a dearth of candidates at least there is a contest between gord ratcliff and cathy joice for the mayors job a two way contest between bill mcnalley and robert pritzker in ward 3 and wonder of wonders a three way race for ward 6 between ieldred king gary fisher and sheilabrumell that leaves ward 2 councillor becky wedley ward 5 councillor june button public school trustee harry bowes and jack jmcdermott from- the separate school board with acclamations untierd candidates bill ramps in ward 4 and jim doble in ward 1 have also graciously beengiven ac- clamations i what an uncanny coincidence that all those people who were unhappy with councils performance over the past two years have had such a dramatic change of heart and are now absolutely content with their municipal representatives this week tirade on our part it is only to be expected that we heartily approve of this proposal on the part of the recycling people our only concern is that unless something can be done to change peoples attitude toward littering it will only be a very short time until the streets have deteriorated back to their present condition there is definitely a shortage of garbage pails on the streets and the addition of a few might make some difference but we suspect they wouldnt solve the problem entirely the other day we noticed with some disgust that there was as much litter on the ground within a few feetof the trash bins as there was further down the street where there wasnt a receptacle v maybe what we need is a public relations campaign to sell the idea that spreading- garbage about the streets is revolting or maybe we should start turning in litterers to the police after all stouffville is on a provincial highway and there is a 50 fine for littering on a highway the other possibility is we are perhaps being too cynical andthat when the good citizens of the village see their streets groomed and immaculate they will never again foul therhwith candy bar wrappers and empty cigarette packages well see in spite of these comments it is assuredly hot our intention to discourage the clean up and in fact we hope it will be supported by the town as a whole some beautification work has already taken place and the lawn around latcham hall has been landscaped we hope council wont stop there and maybe eventually we will seelrees growiriginthe downtown area- that v after aufimq wamtsihg insrirunonat- jmss

type among the species man that puzzles and saddens me in an age that congratulates itself on its openness its honest its let it all hang out attitude the hypocrite is still very much with us- some people might think the 19th century was the golden age of hypocrisy certainly it set some high standards in this line there were the manufacturers who preached enlightenment and progress on the one hand and bnthe other worked children 60 hours a week in their factories there were the men who brayed on chastity as one of the prime virtues and dallied with prostitutes there were the men who spoke

the tribune- our operation service campaign with legion volunteers calling on homes in the whitchurch stouffville area has resulted in the compiling of many- claims for benefits from exservice men and women which will be examined by the responsible authorities as of this date one area resident is receiving war veterans allowance and other cases are under consideration- branch 459 is pleased to have served the community in this way and appreciates the role of the tribune in publicizing the program yours truly lou hertle president the royal canadian legion stouffville a lessness and fainting fits it was an era in which the public mouthing of the christian virtues was only exceeded by the private materialism corruption and sometimes downright viciousness the middle and upper classes 1 well then have we got rid of this par- ticularly obnoxious type well into the second half of the 20th century not bloody likely perhaps were not quite as hypocritical as the victorians but i wouldnt want to bet on it all thats changed is the terms of reference no manufacturer today could get away with hiring children but dont think theyre any less heartless than their forebears at least in the 19th century you knew the boss was a bastard today a company can re organize and turn half a dozen middleaged men into the street by an executive decision many men in todays society still practise a double standard one for themselves one for their wives a man who gets drunk has had a few too manya woman who gets drunk is disgusting a man can go to a business convention and have a little fling with a call girl if his wife kisses a couple of guys at the new years eve party a bit too warmly shes a sex maniac we have politicians who spout of peace and plan for war doctors who preach against drugs and tell you cigarettes will kill you even as they butt their 50thcoffiri hail of the day and pop a couple of bennies to keep going we have pillars of the church whom you wouldnt trust as far as you could bounce a bowling ball in a swamp we have all kinds of characters who will cheat on their income tax and then berate people on welfareforripping off the govern- nient we have teachers who cant understand the attitude ofyoung people today com- 1 pletely forgetting that they themselves were insolent lazy and not even that bright when they were yourig people we have mothers who got in the family way at 19 arid had a shotgun marriage bewailing the sexual licence of their daughters 1 we have fathers who deplore at length the i slothfulness of their sons conveniently ignoring that they had to have a good bootin the tail from their own fathers before theyd x even carry out the ashes we have school trustees who will double over in an agony of glee after hearing a filthy joke but in public sternlydeplore the por nography children are being exposed- to in their school literature they are the type who will respond with chuckles and evenbellylaughsto the sexual leers of norman lear in maude andall in the family but thunder fulminatingly against a fine- novel like v the diviners by margaret w laurence v they arethe type- who dont want anything racier than thebobbsey twins taught in school but will shout with ribald laughter at smut on television and take invj i every restricted movie in town laughing when there is bloodshed on the screen and nudging heavily when a couple of naked bodies start squirming on the celluloid strip what about todays women kre they less hypocritical thanitheir greatgrandmothers is- on the wholeld say yes theyre just as blasted irritating as ever but theyre rriorep honest they still cry for no apparent reason- but they knowtheres no percentage in pulling afaint theyd probably just get a glass of water in the face i- but even the women are a long way froni being but of the woods 1 when it comes to hypocrisy and many of the biggest k hypocrites are surface feminists they warit all the perks of the new freedom and all the treats of the old

centennial 18771977 early reeves prominent in the life of stouffville was joseph a todd who died in 1913 he was widely known in the grain trade and in 1902 washonored with the reeveship for the first time since incorporation council was not originally filled that year and a second nomination had to be held there was strong pressure to have a- more equitable assessment established and nathan

announced the centennial countdown sign is now in place in front of the clock tower this was correct as far as it went but we did neglect to mention a second sign is in place in the west end these signs will keep track of theume remaining before the centennial year alia during the year a regular schedule of events will be posted there i flf fgg however the roads department could have used a

life of late and this trend continued last weekend when my wife alice and 1wenttbthe sales barn there alost little girl appeared to us who had disappeared from her parents we were walking bythebooths behind the barn when this child only about two yearsold went staggering past us running in a blind panic and crying loudly we could see nobody else heading toward her so alice swooped down and picked the girl up i fully expected that this tactic would result in hysterical screams from the baby followed shortly by our arrests for attempted kidnapping but the child immediately laid her head on alices shoulder and was perfectly quiet not even a sniffle a tear or a sob frankly i was amazed we headed toward the public address system inside while trying to get her to tell us her name as we wended our way through the warrerilike interior of the barnthe baby of- fered such helpful comments as clock and doggie as she pointed to the appropriate objects she never did say her name though the
