two the tribune stouffvdle ont thursday april 27 1939 iu tmxffxnlu nbmu established 1888 a member of the canadian weekly newspaper association issued every thursday at stouffville ontario subscription rates per year in advance in canada 3200 in usa 250 a v nolan jp editor and publisher notes and comments everybody seems to be commending the action of the municipal council taken last week to get the mam street pavement cleaned up our fine hundred thousand dollar pavement does not render the service it is intended to when ice bound since it has been cleaned up cars move about with a greater degree of safety and its general appearance presents a more pleasing aspect with a road man now continuously on the job it is expected that the pavement will be kept spick and span throughout the summer which will be meeting the wishes of the rate payers rural school sections a great deal of money could be saved if the department of education would take a firmer hand in set ting or changing school boundaries all over the province there are section paralleling each other where one section is overcrowded in their school accommodation while the adjoining one could handle more pupils a case in point is dicksons hill and ringwood at the former school the attendance is around 14 while at the hill there are 60 pupils and it has been found necessary to engage an additional teacher until midsummer at least if the pupils in the northern part of dicksons hill were to change over to the ringwood section there would be a saving to both sections as matter stand the present two teachers could handle the two schools we realize that we are tread ing on dangerous ground to bring a matter of this kind to attention of the public because ratepayers are not readily induced to change their allegiance from one section to an other it can be done if the proper steps were made by the ratepayers concerned but they may not be willing to make the change even if a saving were apparent such a condi tion might reasonably be discussed with the school in spector who would be in a postion to advise all parties- con cerned just what saving might be accomplished there may be numerous similar instances over the province but the department of education would be loath to act with out the right advances being made first by the sections concerned praises political apponent sheriff of york county for 21 years the death of alexander mccowain in his 86th year is generally regret ted he was one of scarboros best known citizens al though he lived in toronto a pioneer farmer of scarboro he entered politics in 1905 contesting east york for the conservative party and winning the seat by 500 majority in 1913 he resigned and was succeeded by hon george s henry the present member sir james whitney appointed mr mccowan sheriff and he held the position until 1934 while i never followed him in politics he was a right good fellow said mr seneca baker the other day i liked him because he was a man and knew how to be a friend even if you did not agree with his policies tweed splits over post office it is announced that the village of tweed is to have a post office building this year despite the fact that the village council has sent a resolution to ottawa asking that no post office be built the money could better be used for other purposes the resolution points out an active sup porter of the government is said to have sold the depart ment a site but apparently a percentage of the ratepayers are not satisfied and declare it is so far from the busi ness section as to be a great inconvenience to most of the people who will get their mail there after all if the people concerned are not satisfied it is questionable if any votes will be gained by engendering a section of the people against the government in what is said to be an election year defends the orange and the working man the bowmanville statesman makes a timely and worthwhile comment in defense of the working man and oranges too which hits in so well with our own opinion that we give you his editorial which reads thus in the house of commons last week w f rick- ard mp for durham county urged that the period of free entry of oranges in this country be shortened in the interests of the apple growers our member stated that oranges selling for one cent each was unreasonable and that they should not be sold for less than two cents each mr rickard has forgot ten two important factors and it is interesting to note that fellow liberals in the house opposed his sugges tion the first factor that should be remembered is that oranges cannot be grown in canada and that no duty should exist on any commodity that is not a competitor of a similar commodity in canada the other important factor is that canadians need a reduction in food prices tariffs should never exist when they serve to increase the cost of food heavy taxes are paid on tea and sugar both of which are not produced in canada and yet both are considered necessities today the unfortunate thing about food taxes is that it hits the poor man hardest the average lowsalaried worker spends the greater proportion of his money on food while the more fortunate people spend considerable on oth er things which are necessities and which are not so severely taxed there are poorer men there was quite a story which made its wav out of hollywood a bout bing crosby supposed to be one of the richest men in the realm of pictures he makes 8540000 a year from that field and each one of his radio broadcasts brings him 3500 the grief comes in what the taxing officers do to him and it is claimed between state and federal taxation he retains only 20 per cent of his income and the sadness comes in great measure when it was related that he had to borrow money to pay his income taxes no exact figures were given but it is possible cros by earns 700000 per year and he is allowed to retain but 140000 of that so the writers were inclined to feel sorry for the gentleman he has to live up to what people ex pect of him otherwise he will be called cheap and so on 22000000 trees given 8000 persons col w p slulock tells commons interesting forest data in a lengthy and informative address before the house of com mons dealing with reforestation and its possibilities in providing employ ment for the single unemployed the member for north york gave a statement which we think is par ticularly interesting to our readers in which he pointed out the ad vances made in the province of on tario toward reforestation col mulock stated the province of ontario has made a substantial start on the work of reforestation and a similar effort has been made in the province of quebec though not on such a large scale so far as ontario is concerned this work was commenced in 1905 but was substantially increased in 1922 by the establishment of two additional nurseries one at orono in dur ham county and the other at mid- hurst in simcoe county since 1924 when these two nurseries com menced to distribute planting material the annual output has in creased from 1000000 to 22000- 000 for 1939 until 1922 the distri bution of trees was chiefly for planting on privately owned land for supplementing existing farm woodlots and for windbreak plant ing for agricultural purposes at that time the number of persons receiving trees was a few hundred while in 193s the number had reached 8000 the county forest system which provides for a county buying thous andacre tracts of waste land and having these managed under an- agreement with the department of lands and forests of the provincial government for a period of thirty years was commenced in 1922 at the present time there are sixteen of these forest in ration by twelve counties with a total acre age of 18227 in addition the pro vince carries on inspection of farm ers wood lots advice is given to prospective planters and extensive educational work is carried on by means of

school cadet training public opinion seems pretty well divided on the question of reviving cadet work in surrounding high schools markham and richmond hill were the closest institutions to stouffville which formerly provided this wbrk markhams cost of training her 50 to 100 cadets each year was around 125 this semimilitary training was abolished there some seven or eight years ago the question of such reestablish ment was recently raised at a meet ing of the canadian corps associa tion when 160 associations were re presented in a resolution favoring unanimously this reinstitution of cadet training letters have also been received opposing the move and b e thackery a qualified cadet instruc tor states that he prefers the physical training system coroner dr c j devins ind dr j c williams

pioneering jctcidqcshlkt demands constant pioneering discovering and developing the new and better method of doing the things we have to do time was when the introduction of a new implement was a mem orable and historic event but these were the early days in the appli cation of mechanics to farming operations today changes succeed each other with greater rapidity and even the most revolutionary innovations are accepted with little acclaim not in any period of the ninety years of masseyharris history has such skill been employed in the designing and developing of machines for the farm as there is today the companys engineers in their extensive field experiments are constantly testing new ideas and developing under actual conditions machines and attachments specifi cally suited to the requirements of the territory for which they are intended thus whether it be a onehandled walking plow to be used by a native and even perhaps drawn by natives on the south african veldt a powerdriven mower to cope with the luxuriant growth of grass on an english meadow or the oneway disc seeder developed to help the farmer on the prairies of western canada combat soil drifting it is the result of definite scientific research by the companys field engineers and in the motorized mechanization that is taking place in farming operations masseyharris is in the forefront still pioneering in bringing
