the tribune and secured from the toronto telegram respecting the conduct and life of young mcgill the markham village man who is under sentence to be hanged isnt it funny how most people and many news papers will seek to shield those who have committed hideous crimes for getting the wrong done to the other party usually and the example that ought to be shown others who might be capable of committing such off ences stoves stoves members of the fire brigade did a good piece of vork on friday of last week when they tested all the hydrants in the town to see that they were in good working order after the cold wave of a few days previous they found two frozen up one was thawed out by blake sanders while the other was attend ed to by the water and light commit tee and it was while at this work that an accident happened on that evening necessitating the water being turned off for a brief time this is the first time to our know ledge that the brigade has taken up this work at this time of year but it is something that ought to be at tended to often as a result of fri days discovery the water light committee inform us that all ar rangements are being made for a thorough investigation of every hy drant in town the council of stouffville have appointed their standing committees for the year councillor rusnell and rowbothani will have charge of the roads and sidewalks while councill ors boriusky and ward will be res ponsible tor the flow of water and light we are getting plenty of the latter but there is a great shortage on the number of lights required for main business section of the town on the north side of the street the first named in each committee is chairman with the reeve being by virtue of his office a member of all committees the floods reported in the dailies as occurring in ontario last week were no backcreek affairs in stouff ville following the heavy rains all friday the ditches had more than they- could hold and then like some men who get in that condition they became a public nuisance at the christian church where immer sion is according to the word they had the pond right at their door for the water raisea over the side walk and threatene to flood the base ment at this corner the culverts are too small to take care of the big run of water coming down stouffer street friday nights flood was- equal to any spring freshet we had seen here wjien a man is sufficiently fright ened as to make his hair rise on his head where there was nothing but desert waste for some time lie has sustained a shock to his nervous system that comes only once in a lifetime such was to be the ex perience that befel mr arthur swift a local garageman last week the hearse was returning from a funer al in whitchurch and stopped at swifts garage where the undertaker instructed mr swift to open the rear doors for something mr swift promptly obeyed by swinging wide the door where usually only a casket enters or protrudes and immediate ly a man jumped out at the garage- man in the darkness with such suddenness that to say the least the repair man was alarmed for an instant one of the mourners at the funeral where the hearse had been was so anxious to get to stouffville ire time to catch a train for toronto that he accepted a ride in the hearse there being no vailable space for him in the drivers seat 1 again this winter we are selling the same heater we sold so many of last winter and the are giving the utmost satisfaction a few more improvements are added this year whether you buy or not we want you to inspect our our range of stoves in heaters or cook designs having filled all offices from the highest within the gift of the people of stouffville james h ratcliff has been more or less of a recluse the past year and in order to draw him from the recesses of his hack parlor into the public eye again the reeve of stouffville was very anxious to have this former reeve appointed to public office on friday night by insisting- that he be made fence viewer for the municipality what ever that is in a community like this some councillors thought reeve sanders was joking when he pro posed the name of exreeve ratcliff for this plebeian job but he was in earnest and the appointment was forthwith made as will be seen by m13 council minutes in this issue this is the first time mr ratcliff oter filled the position of fenceviewer although he has been reeve memb er of the board of health member of the library board and of all committees of the council to he re legated to the line of fence viewer isnt quite as good as being sent to the senate refcent sales of comparatively large houses in stouffville would lead us to suppose that the day for spacious accommodation is passing away in a past era when the cost cf construction was much cheaper when the cost of fuel light taxes domestic service and many other tilings was- far cheaper than today there was a demand for large houses they had an imposing appearance and appearance counted much in those days xow the situation has changed and with unavoidable ex pense connected with the upkeep of a large house also rno difficulty of securing suitable domestic help many people today are looking tor small houses and apartments while the apartment cannot take the place of the home yet modern necessity has given it quite a popularity however those with moans will still prefer a moderately large house whicli has all the conveniences to make home life happy and for houses o tliis class there will still bo a demand although the same nay be limited 44000000 we have a

what better combination could you wish for a t your grocers phone us your next order and let us prove our claims a w scott the grocer notice to new model a ford owners prospective owners and public as a whole there is no change in the new 1929 new ford car but what can be installed in the 1928 mode so the man who got a 1928 ford does not have to buy a new car this year to have a 1929 model he has not an old model nor has he an o car on his hands the 1929 models are standardized now the main changes made are 1st a new starter that can be adjusted and installed on any car at a small cost 2nd the houdaille shock absorbers are available now which were standard equipment when the car was first put on the market but though unavoidable circumstances we were not able to get enough of them to equip all the cars produced so the ford company had to use the hasler absorbers much inferior to make delivery of the cars otherwise they would have to had held up production for a still longc period these houdaille shock absorbers can now be installed on a car that has hasler absorbers at an exchange price which is small when you consider the better performance and the stronger sturdier abso 3rd the three point suspension spring on the front of the engine instead of the engine being bolted solid to the front cross member of the frame it is suspended oh springs which does away with 60 per cent of vibration and noise in the car when diving i the question is being asked quite frequently by those who do not know anything about these changes why are so many of the new ford cars going into our garage well you must remember that there is in the vicinity of stouffville about 75 new ford cars which is considerably more than any other new car and the majority of these owners are taking advantage of having these new improvements in stalled on their cars at the excharige price in which they are given only a limited time to make the change in the last two months we have installed about 40 new starters which takes two hours to install and wehave installed about 25 sets of houdaille shock absorbers which takes one man 2 and one half hours to install we also grease and alemite all new cars twice without any charge which most owners take advantage of also minor adjustments that owners are not yet familiar with in the new ford i think that you will all agree with me that it is better for you to be able to put these new improvements on old cars and have the latest model than to have to buy another car to have the latest model ford does notchange his model every year to make people buy another car to keep up with the jones delbert holden ford dealer phone 184
