understanding thos- birket and dr s s ball attended the con servative convention held in ottawa but neither of them had a vote they were interested parties but not delegates and so were relieved of the responsibility of voting for a new leader mr birkett tells us that a lot of the delegates were bewildered and did not know who to vote for but that hundreds of orangemen were behind dr manion who is a eoman catholic mr birkett states that 2000 sat down to the banquet on tuesday night and he said the feel ing was expressed by delegates that the choice of dr manion as tory leader would aid the need for greater understanding between the people who speak the two great languages in this country i a good line of business during the months of may to october people from all parts of the united states are spending some 200000000 in canada whereas most nations go forth to search for foreign markets canada fifth biggest export country in the world conducts her largest export trade by transport ing her chief foreign buyers tourists into her boundaries this business is unlike others too because that which is really being sold has not required huge capital investment for manufacture it is the incidental services one might say the byproducts that are capitalized- the commodity itself comes lavishly and freely from the hand of nature sell them the blue sky acquires a new meaning- it is canadas forests mountains wild life and unspoiled wilder ness that attracts and holds this enormous foreign market year after year in ever increasing bulk somebody pays never look a gift horse in the mouth is a saying that has been handed clown from our fathers but with ris ing governmental taxations we really should consider where these free gifts are coming from and who pays for them by free gifts we mean free libraries free health service free mothers allowances free old age pensions and free relief for the needy then there are grants and subsidies and other allowances all of these free things must come from one source the taxpayers too many of us dont seem to realize that whatever we get from the government must be paid by the people in some form or another for the government has no money of its own it merely does the collecting and spending and the people wonder that taxes have gone sky high when public welfare costs in the province have increased about 250 per cent in the last ten years rates in markham and stouffville a rather interesting study presents itself in the matter of hydro rates as between the villages of markham and stouffville to begin with the population is almost identical in the two villages but stouffville has 85 more hydro customers or consumer accounts than the report indicates there are in markham stouffville surpasses markham in point of domestic and commercial users and the amount of current they consume but in the matter of power accounts markham has a long way the best of it markham has nine customers receiving power and they paid a total of 2536 last year while stouffville with 5 customers had a revenue of 942 the account of marmills limited shoots the mark ham account up in this catagory however in the domestic and commercial classes the business in stouffville is slightly the best here is a com parative report of rates which we have taken from the blue book issued by the hydro commission domestic markham stouffville no of customers 294 363 average monthly bill 199 161 total domestic revenue 7004 7005 commercial number customers 66 86 averge bill 368 313 total revenue commercial 2914 3377 those family reunions editor farmer in the port perry star makes one or two interesting and timely observations relative to the value of family reunions which are becoming so popular just now the star says this is the time for family reunions and their in- mcreasmg number is a healthy sign of the times there are two main reasons why the spirit which prompts this type of social gathering should be encouraged in the first place they can become a proper tribute to the founders of the families- it is now very difficult to real ize what hardship was undertaken to make possible the blessings which the modern family enjoys toay as a matter of course soon the pioneers will all be gone this is the time to honor them while they can still understand our admiration and affection our debt to the pioneers is too great for us to be able to repay them but we can say thank you and mean it the second reason why family reunions should be en couraged lies in the fact that the family is the foundation of our national hfe no ism can ever properly take the place of true family pride and why not be proud of the folk who gave us life and with infinite patience trained us to understand and take our place in the world criticism mav be necessary and useful in the production of the best in merchandise science music and literature but encourage ment is even more essential if there is ever to be an aristocracy in this country it should be produced by recognition of wellfounded family pride- service to humanity is the only proper basis for the bestowal of honour markham farmer j boyington dies john boyington 79yearold markham
