interest in municipal elections how about a contest in stouffville or whitchurch what have the readers to suggest in the next legislature the ufo party is as follows leader farqu- har oliver whip farquhar oliver party farquhar oliver a caucus can bo held at a moments notice sixtytwo years after canada was made a nation the census takers are to be instructed to mark those bom in canada as canadians thats not breaking the speed limit anyway dr smith ono of our local dentists wont agree with the story told about a certain scotchman who is said to have been standing out on the street with a piece of bread iu his hand and looking for some traffic jam ho had heard about the markdale standard carried the following curious advertisement any person or persons accusing me of causing the deain of my wifes cow which died on my premises on oct 7th will be prosecuted according to law the advertisement is signed by the wifes husband m m there have been a number of firms in town of late endeavouring to interest stouffville m the purchase of a town clock it is something that would be highly appreciated in many ways as well as adding an air of dignity to our municipal hall which building is in need of atten tion in other ways stouffville is one of the few towns along this line of railway which does not enjoy a big time piece up in their highest tower on the main street as less than 1000 would finance such an under taking here is a chance for some aggressive organization to step in and cause a memorial clock to be erected the sentence of seven years in the penitentiary by mr justice raney pronounced on a drunken motor driver in toronto who killed a boy on a bicycle condemned by some as being rather severe but what of the dead boy sentenced to eternity and what of his mother and father robbed for all time of the lads companionship and love and sent enced to live their entire lives with out him let the critics of the sentence pronounced upon the drunken driver look at all angles of the situation before being too vehement in their protestation ottawa forecasts estimate the canadian potato crop at about 1g per cent below that of last year in ontario the crop is nearly 30 per cent below that of 192s the uniteo states crop is one of the lightest ijj ten years in fact is the smallest with the exception of 1925 it will be readily appreciated that potatoes are in a strong position some ontario and quebec farmers are short of storage and require ready cash consequently prices are somewhat depressed at present womens pullover sweater in plain a fancy stripes

hero at nomination meetings today all this is changed councils are mors often condemned because their spending program is not broad enough in stouffville for instance wo have never heard one word derogatory to the council because they put over a fairly large order for cement sidewalks or any other similar expenditure but some com plaint is heard because still more work is not done truly time changes our view point all nonresident pupils attend ing the oshawa public schools must pay a fee of 4 per school month or 40 per year if their parents own property in the city the amount of public school taxes paid by the parents will bo deducted from tho amount of the fees the foregoing ruling was adopted last week by the oshawa board of education it is in marked contrast to the rate charged in stouffville where only 50c per month is charged for pupils coming from outside the union section to attend the stouffville school south ontario plowing match the fifth annual plowing match held on

markers which will be white with black lettering will bear no more than five digits each including the in itial letters thus 99991 will be the highest number which any motorist may attain by means of the letters the number of digits which the pursuing traffic cop must read will be shortened and tile county from which the car hails will be indicated for instance all toronto and york county markers will begin with one of the letters from p to z inclusive as other populous counties such as weutworth and middlesex may have to be awarded two or more letters there will not be enough letters of the alphabet to serve the requirements of all counties thus some of tho smaller counties where cars are fewer will be given a com bination of two letters on all mark ers the punctuating dash will be placed between the letter and the number through the use of the letters a shorter license plate will be made possible the plate itself will be heavier and consequently not so prone to crumple when it is brushed by another motorists bumper wo decided on the change said the minister of highways only after we had satisfied ourselves that a combination of letters and numbers would be of higher visibility than the present type the fact that the letter indicates where the car comes from should also be of assist ance to the police and the public ecephon eiecrivifyoiume gtice thats the
