the tribune stouffville ont thursday september 20 1951 the stouffville tribune established 1888 member of the canadian weekly newspaper association and ontario quebec newspapers association member of the audit bureau of circulations authorized as second class mail post office department ottawa issued every thursday at stouffville ontario in canada 250 in usa 300 a v nolan son publishers notes and comments must we have a fatality first the opinion is frequently voiced that necessary warning signals such as flasher lights or bells are not installed at railway crossings until such crossings have been the scene of a fatality it is incredible to think that any government department such as the ontario high ways department would operate under such a system however instances sometimes seem to bear out such contention and have done so locally this year possibly one of the most dangerous crossings in this locality has become the no 7 highway crossing at unionville it is not dangerous from the point of view of heavy traffic on the railway line but from the fact that the view is badly blocked for the motorist in almost any direction while there have been tio fatalities here several crashes occur there each year and one of them will event ually prove to be a fatality motov traffic on this important highway artery has increased by leaps and bounds in creasing the chance of mishap langstaff and gormley were in similar positions but since fatalities have occur red at both these crossings proper warnings have now been installed the matter of opening an agitation for a warning signal was discussed briefly at markham town ship council last week and this may prove necessary if precaution is not taken before its too late this is important stouffville municipal council has important business to attend to this thursday evening council will convene to revamp the town water rates as laid out by bylaw this stepping up of the water rates in stouffville is long over due the system is pitifully short of funds and it is a ridiculous situation for this public utility to be giving practically free water to hundreds of consumers in town who contributed nothing to the establishing of the system over the years the water system is continually facing expansion and improvements the time is not far distant when a definite change must be made in the reservoir storage capacity both reservoirs are in a bad state of repair but a large expenditure of this nature would have to come under debenture because the reserves in the water department are next to nil both domestic and commercial water rates will be up for revision while there is no inkling of how large an increase in the domestic rate is planned by council the yearly rate could certainly be increased half as much again and stouffville users would still have the cheapest water service in the county of york commercial users such as manufacturers restaurants barber shops and gardeners who make money out of the town water and could not operate their businesses without it will also be in line for a raise in rate what these concerns are paying today is a mere pittance and like the householders should pay a much higher and more equitable rate according to the use that is made of the water stouffville has a wonderful system it should not be neglected by miserly financing now is the time the holidays are over most people are back on normal schedules for the fall and winter seasons again and a moreorless ordered way of life has been restored to the home with this change in routine another change is rapidly taking place a change in temperatures yes sir the cooler clays are here again and the nights will be cooler still necessitating the lighting of fires for brief periods to ward off the cold a reminder that this is true came in the news on friday when it was reported in a neighboring town that an oil heater had been turned on lighted and flaredup frightening the residents in the home the heater was found to have been flooded dueto a seepage into the pan during the summer months when it was not used actually nothing of a serious nature developed and the condition righted itself however not all people might be so fortunate and it is therefore urgent that heating equipment be checked before being put into use again now is the time to get heaters stoves and furnaces conditioned for the gruelling months ahead lost a cityful of torontonians hi the year 1950 toronto proper the central municipality as distinct from the satellites lost 5617 people seven of the nine assessed wards have so far been totalled up for 1951 and the loss in these is an additional 12376 a whole cityful of population gone in a single year it is not thought that wards eight and nine still to be counted will materially alter that figure if they do not the population will be down from 667487 to about 655000 or back to where it was 10 years ago the peak was 696555 in 1946 what is the explanation of the loss for one thing young people are marrying and moving outside the city in great numbers for another the foreignorigin population of the city is increasing and many of these people have lived in countries where the less the authorities know the better they hesitate to tell how many are in a rooming- house for example for these and other reasons torontos population is rapidly going down this is one factor in the decreased school attendance the lowest registration in many years there is a lower total population as well as ajower percentage of children in the population but in the satellite municipalities the number of school children is skyrocketting involving costly building projects toronto star pity the pigs a hog buyer going through the country saw a drove of hogs large but pretty lean and noticed that they acted quite peculiarly from one point they would all at once run to another part of the field stay there for a few min utes then hump themselves to a different place they kept this up for some time the buyer called on the farmer said he had been looking at the hogs and they were about what he wanted except they were a little light in weight and then he mentioned their peculiar nervousness- the farmer in a hoarse whisper explained that he had always called the hogs to feed them but that he took cold and lost his voice and then got in the habit of pound ing on the fence with a stick and now the darned woodpeckers are running those hogs to death wall street journal the old home town rv- v s w c by stanley for parents only by nancy cleaver used to schooi or adjusting to school iipe three mothers of first grade scholars were discussing what a change it meant hi a childs life to start to school tommy who was bubbling over with physical ener gy and was naturally talkative rebelled strongly against the teachers everyone be quiet janet a slow moving child inclined to dawdle found the discipline of the schools time schedule and the demand for instant obedience ex tremely difficult andy who was inclined to be delicate and was a timid little fellow was used to playing with the small group of three or four children his age on his block now he must try to hold his own in games with twenty or more yelling pushing youngsters in the school yard the change from carefree vaca tion days to the school schedule is an abrupt one the adjustment is not easy for most children these three mothers reflected in their conversation three ways in which a child must get used to school the routine at home is usually fairly flexible a child is free to ask his mother the question which comes into his mind if he defends his seemingly naughty action mother listens to his explanation before passing judgment many children enjoy participating in stores of patience and imagination family discussion on different top- at this time the childs behaviour ics- at home often reflects a situation but the teacher has a large that he cant quite cope with at group in her care she has a cerj school the small boy who yells tain amount of work she must at little sister and bosses her a- cover it is impossible for each round may have been afraid to as- child to talk whenever he feels sert himself at school he wants to prove to himself that he is a the adjustment from a small group to a large one is of course most perplexing for the little child just starting to school it is a great help to the new scholar if he knows another friend who is also beginning school life then he can search for a familiar face a- mong all the strange ones every child must find his own place in the school group this struggle for status is particularly trying for a child like andy who is timid and not too strong the qualities which school child ren rate high are not necessarily those which parents place at the top of the list physical prowess is greatly admired by youngsters the aggressive able lad with lead ership ability may use language which mother says is not nice but andy certainly can see that he is tqps with the other fellows the handsmocked dainty dress which mother made with such lov ing care may be so different from the sturdy wash frocks of the other girls that small may is mis erable a child does not want to be toodifferent from the others it is not just the child starting to school for the first time who finds it no easy matter to get used to school a great host of children every september know from bitter experience that the adjustment from vacation to school days is demanding parents can help by using extra like it although quiet please may anger tommy it is a nocess ary rule promptness is a major virtue at school being late in the morning starts the whole day off wrong for the child and his tardiness is often not his fault mother must see that clothes and books are laid out neatly the night before in readi ness for the morning scramble children should be wakened regu larly at an early enough hour so they can go to

that when the earth passes away the ten commandments will also a just the opposite matthew 2135 says heaven and earth shall pass away but my words shall not pass away the commandments were the words of god read also luke 1617 and matthew 5171s q which day is the lords day please give your opinion a my opinion is not worth much but gods word is our source of truth on such subjects turn to mark 228 therefore the son of man is lord also of the sabbath it is clear then that the sabbath is the lords day read also isaiah 5s13 where the lord calls the sabbath my holy day this is what the lord ays about the lords day q did jesus ever say that it is right to pay tithe a jesus said woe unto you scribes and pharisees hypocrites for ye pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin and have omitted the weightier matters of the law judg ment mercy and faith these ought ye to have done and not to leave the other undone matthew 2323 these men paid tithe even on gar den herbs but omitted other things jesus said that they ought to do both q i heard a preacher say that we should not exalt christ too much what do you think about this a god has already highly ex alted him and given him a name which is above every name that at the name of jesus every knee should bow of things in heaven and things in earth and things under the earth and that every tongue should confess that jesus christ is lord to
