comes to mind is quite so taxing so hurried or demands greater pains from the moment a newspaper is started be it either daily or weekly the work is carried on under pres sure a race against time put your self in an editors position could you do it could you for example spell correctly off hand the names of a large percentage of the resi dents of this town if you could do that could you write their initials correctly without resorting to the telephone directory or other author ity could you write seven columns of the names of your civic officials your local school board your town ship officials getting all the names initials and officers correct could you gather the thread of a story from halt a dozen persons and weave them into an intelligent readable account at the first writ ing could you write seven colums of material of 1200 or 1400 words each in two or three anys week after week year after year and when you had finished those seven write two or three columns more before press time in writing a headline could you call to mind in a moment enough synonyms so that you would not re peat the main thought in the same words could you judge in a minimum of time what size headlines and what position in the paper could be given to each of the stories lhat might go into your paper could you decide in a moment or exercise snap judgment on the dozens of questions a newspaper man must face daily and get a maj ority of them correct we wont tire you but if you could do these few simpe things and a thousand and one more dif ficult ones you should be a news paper editor the point we wish to make is that one can produce a good news paper only after continual diligent study and practical experience you have heard dozens of persons remark that they could turn out a newspaper and a good one too a bit better in fact than the one they are getting that is not true unless they have gone through the years and study a good newspaper demands of its marers were it not

attended the funeral of her uncle mr long in michigan mrs fockler was accom panied by mrs david l hoover of stouffville special to stouffville tribune statutory increases in pay for members of the civil service may be suspended for next year as part of the program of economy which the government will carry out while the matter has not been formally discussed by the cabinet it has been taken up with a number of ministers of private members the contention is advanced that civil servants have alreaay received the equivalent of an increase in pay through a drop of twenty per cent or more in the cost of living it is also pointed out that few private employers are advancing wages and that in the face of falling revenues temporary suspension of statutory increases is quite justifiable fur ther there has been no curtailment of staffs in the civil service as a re sult of depressed nnances several years ago the service was granted a special increase in wages on account of the advance in the cost of living and the suggestion now made is that either this be withdrawn or that the statutory in crease be suspended the more suggestion of course will be heartily opposed by the service at the present moment a general application is before the government for upward revision and the beatty commission is in vestigating it whatever the report may be there will be no upward revision this year nor will con sideration be given to any retro active policy on increases some people trade in their cars every year regard less of condition if you cant buy a new ford car now we have several used

there own concerns unknown when stouffer street from the tenth con- cesssion was built to conntect with the main street at the corner of the christian church just opposite the school building guess few if any remember still it is within the recollection of at least one of our aged citizens mr arthur yake mr yake fiixes the date of the construction of the road at 74 years ago through an unusual thing which happened to him as a mere baby at the time and hundreds of times retold to him dy his mother and father in later years his father christian yake kept the hotel at the corner of tenth and main streets the brick building is still in the family name when arthur was born and he will be 76 if he lives until next july the gang which were cutting the roadway out of the then cedar swamp to form stouffer street boaraed at the yake house they had to work in long rubber boots for the swamp was full of water and die men easily mired in the muck as they were washing up for supper one evening a crying noise attracted their attention and lo young arthur was discovered on the floor behind one of the doors leading off the hall on being pick ed up it was found that the child was in great pain and from his mouth slobbered a blackness as if he had been chewing licorice closer examination revealed it to be the remains of a small snake or large worm whicn had evidently been brought up from the swamp on the boots of one or the workon the baby stared 10 eat it with almost fatal results dr freel was hastily summoned and as he was at home just two doors west of the hotel he was on ivand promptly administering medicine he succeed ed in relieving the stomach of the deadly poison but for long years after the child broke out in sores attributed to the poison not being all out of his blooa dr freels residence is now occupied by a j baxter the doctor was the father of our dr ira and the late sil freel the practitioner said later that had he not happened to be home the child would surely have died hence you will see that at least one citizen has gooa reason to re member the building or the date when stouiter street was built evidently it was undertaken by the council of whitchurch township which showed greater wisdom than village councils did after the place becamo incorporated in their fail ure in the more early days to go on and complete a second street through the
