dont hold your breath lake the existence of the government itself the whole things up in the air at present all things point to a prolonged deferment and then its ultimate demise your guess is as good as ours opposition is formidable conservative leader robert stanfield is against it and so is ontario riding memberelect frank mcgee in york north barney danson flip- flopped but finally came to rest on a negative perch opposed also is york- simcoes sinclair stevens to all this include the voices of bill newman ontario south and don deacon york- centre and one visualizes a defence that will be difficult to crack if this project like the century city dream is destined for failure lets hope the decision is revealed without delay residents pro and con have been in convenienced enough already zz 5 c- plitttxftm wrong party charged anyone who attends court proceedings with regularity automatically sets himself up as a learned judge and during recess periods it is common practice to secondguess the outcome of cases consider this one for example a 16 year old boy was brought up before a judge in a provincial court region of york recently the charge was theft evidence revealed the lad to be the victim of a broken home his parents separated then divorced had sub sequently remarried but neither couple had room in his or her home for the ac cused he was left to fare for himself then one night he broke into the- residence of his father and stepmother and helped himself to a quantity of food he also took a few other items including a flashlight the father pressed charges a conviction was registered and the lad was sent off to training school the boy so disliked his new surroun dings that when the opportunity came he escaped still on his own he com mitted a more serious offense and was once again arraigned before a judge this time the sentence was more severe he was sent to jail but what penalty was assessed against the parents nothing at all for legally they had committed no crime but morally they were guilty and in fact the wrong party was charged editors mail preelection meeting is vital while municipal nomination procedures are changed from former years theres nothing in the act that demands the holding of a public meeting prior to the trek to the polls there should be although 1970s pathetic attendance should remove this right from the electorate of whitchurchstouffville it is nevertheless vital that those interested enough to vote should hear and those ambitious enough to run should be heard other than knocking on doors what other avenue of personal approach is there undoubtedly there are candidates who couldnt care less about making their pitch from a platform usually these are the individuals who have nothing to say still there are those who have con tributed or can contribute much to the municipality these are the individuals who should have a say the deadline date for nominations is 5 pm nov 13 those nominated have until 5 pm nov 14 to withdraw each nomination paper requires a minimum of ten names within the two weeks following nov 14 a public meeting should follow if the town doesnt arrange it the public should demand it dear editor the new community hall and floodlights are really something in goodwood uxbridge twp council is to be com mended in allowing the senior citizens to play euchre in this hall free of charge realizing of course that the building has been provided through the generosity of arthur latcham les ogden rr 3 stouffville dear sir about 9 pm oct 28 a car caught fire on the brock road a halfmile south of claremont when my husband and i observed the blaze he hurried to the scene to offer assistance while i called the policefire emergency number 6492925 when i reached thedepartment i was told by the pickering twp police to call the opp in whitby becausewe do not pay taxes for their services only after my insistence that the call concerned a fire and that someone could be in need of help did they call the local fire department and the opp fortunately no one was injured and the blaze was quickly extinguished i give credit to the claremont firemen for their quick response my point is why are we supplied with a local emergency number only to be told to call whitby it could mean the dif ference between life and death mrs ma dodge rr2 claremont dear sir i have been reading the letters in the tribune about hunting and would like a chance to say what i think about this kind of thing i feel that like the passenger pigeon the wildlife that remains is soon going to disappear if hunting is permitted to go on it is cruel and unfair what chance do birds and animals have against high- powered guns telescopic sights etc i cant understand how any person can receive a thrill out of seeing one of these creatures drop dead before their eyes i hope there will be a ban on hunting christine kerrigan age 12 rupert ave stouffville dear editor next year is prince edward islands centennial as part of a centennial project i am compiling the histories of rcn ships named after pei com munities which served in world war ii these were hmc ships charlottetown first and second summerside and malpeque i am most anxious to hear from any members of these four ships companies to query them on specific details and general impressions i may be reached at the address shown all correspondence will be answered michael hennessey 21 greenfield ave charlottetown pei please and sinclair stevens mp elect york simcoe lias hit upon a novel idea in making twofold use of many election signs throughout the riding pasted over his name are the words thankyou 4nuunt 1 lest we forget by jim thomas several months ago bert lickorish a well known and highly respected resident at 100 main street west delivered three copies of the tribune to this office they were a bit dog eared scotch taped and slightly yellowed with age i thanked him then as with so many other donated articles set them aside on a shelf without paying the content much heed however on sunday while rummaging around for something else i found the papers in the exact same spot i had put them i decided then and there that if my good friend could take the time to bring the items in then out of respect for his thought if nothing else i could take the time to leaf through them the first was dated jan 29 1942 it told of a standing room only audience that attended the 73rd annual markham twp religious education council in the stouffville baptist church and how the delegates went on record as being unqualifiedally opposed to the teaching of the theory of evolution in ontario public and high schools in the second edition dated july 2 1942 there was a page 1 photo of fred crossen newly installed master of richardson masonic lodge the paper also told of the sale of blake sanders business part nership to stiver bros in the third edition dated aug 23 theres a story about bert lickorish himself it tells of his work as the head of the veterans comfort fund a one man campaign that since march 1941 raised 214167 supplying 535100 parcels to 87 members of the armed forces including two prisoners of war

cyril cutler winston laidlaw and ralph stevens a page 1 picture showed a huge crowd and a long procession on main street the description was as follows when the war against germany ended in a com plete surrender of the enemy on may 8 1945 a public holiday was declared and here we show a fragment of the parade taken near the firehall few people will ever forget that day on sunday nov 5 1972 another parade was held in stouffville the veterans ranks included many of those whose names are mentioned above but no crowds lined the street few of the general public attended the service either in the hall or at the cenotaph in the square few people will ever forget that day said the tribune of 27 years ago few people it seems want to remember i
