reaper has superseded the stork in the matter of vital statis tics for stouffville but in 1936 the stork was several jumps ahead of the hearse the number of births registered in the village during the year totalled 39 and deaths 28 there were 1g marriages perform ed which showed an increase over any period in the last five years of course it was leap year but we are not implying that this made up for the difference it is rather a co incidence though that the greatest marrying year in the last five should be leap year in defending salary increases to numerous county officials last week dr dalos of newmarket made tho remarkable statement that some of these officials have not had an increase in fifteen years how many other workmen have had in creases in the past fifteen years most people have

definite tie tails to announce the press is in formed by the interested parties prospects are however that short ly stouffville is to have a ten-to-a- dollar store and in tact the only obstacle in tho way of such a store being established hero before is the lack of store accommodation it now appears that with some contem plated changes in the near future there will be an opening the recep tion such a store would receive at the hands of other merchants here is varied some of our merchants say it will add that necessary pep to main street which they say is lacking while another merchant said that while he was in a line that would receive added opposition an uptodate fivetoadollar store would not injure his business but would bring more peoplo to stouff ville and tho place would be more widely patronized as a live business centre that it is today reovo wcldon said he would wel come any improvement that such a store might bring to main street and thus tho matter stands until more definite
