page two the stouffville tribune thursday july 27 1939 2 ftmrfftriu ribmt established 1888 member of the canadian weekly newspaper association issued every thursday at stouffville ontario eight to ten pages average circulation 1375 subscription rates per year in advance in canada 200 in usa 250 a v nolan jp editor and publisher notes and comments three great killers are the speeder and the glare menace drunken driver the beer at picnic illegal according to a recent ruling of ontario courts having and serving beer at picnics is contrary to the liquor act and in this connection a magistrate in norfolk a few days ago imposed a fine of 100 or a term of three months in jail upon a citizen of the village of langton for an infrac tion of the law in this regard it is common practice of picnic parties to imbibe on these occasions and many of them perhaps do not realize how serious an offense it is to flout the law in this way picnickers might well be warned that booze may only be consumed in private residences stouffville the place of contentment a recent visitor in town mr j m walton auroras leading citizen and chief magistrate who has a gift of language that would have made him a great success as a writer immediately after his visit to stouffville the follow- ing complimentary article came out in the aurora banner which we suspect is from the pen of mr walton who has given to the country columns of history written in his own inimitable style which reveals itself again in this article which says a visit to our good municipal neighbour the village of stouffville will give a great deal of information and plea sure to any visitor this village is situated in the most productive part of york couny it is surrounded by fine market gardens and beautiful farms stock raising and all kinds of agriculture are carried on with success lying immediately south west of the pine ridges of the north part of the township streams of the purest water are found everywhere from the springs in the hills the town draws a bountiful supply of water from these hills for all town purposes their main street is fo perfect pave ment a great change from a few years ago when bogged roads were experienced in the main street not many towns in the province have finer homes and better kept grounds while there is no great wealth there is a general distri bution of the comforts of life seldom excelled and they have no relief problems whatever their stores look to prosper and the shopping service is good their streets are usually filled with the cars and wagons of the shoppers from the district they are justly proud of their school it is situated on large and beautiful grounds and contains eleven rooms three large rooms were recently added for manual train ing science and domestic science so that their school facil ities are excellent a visit to this building will repay any person interested in education the great surprise is that their recent addition of three rooms with the necessary heating for the enlarged building cost only 18000 of which the municipality needed to raise only 12000 this was done by local investors who subscribed 3 percent bonds at par over the counter of the town treasurer this included the equipment for municipal economy stouffville has the province beat en and it reflects great credit on the men in charge of their school and municipal affairs their- venerable clerk john dougherty is proud of his office and record of his town the municipal building is central and very commod ious it includes a fine fire proof vault for the storage of all their records any person wishing to study municipal or community problems will find stouffville a good place to go penalize the car built for high speed eight lives lost on no 7 highway within ten days can readily be traced to high speed motoring it may be that the only thing to do about the terrific slaugther going on all over onario is to place governors on all cars that would curtail their speed to 40 or 50 miles an hour for a long time we have felt it was a big mistake for motor manufacturing companies to everlastingly be pro ducing cars of greater and greater speed and dangling this before the buying public as an added feature no sane dri ver needs or wants a car because it can go 70 or 60 for that matter sb why make them how would it be to double the license fee on all cars made to go over a given speed of say 50 miles an hour unless something like this is done the slaughter in this province of innocent persons will amount to the mortalty of a good sized war over a few yeais prosperity returning as the stars come out at night first one or two and then the rest inlarge numbers so come out the signs that canada is coming into a measure of prosperity again in dications are that better times are on the way and the as the weeks go by these indications grow stronger ottawa reports that canadian exports have jumped tremendously new homes new offices new factories are springing up noticeably throughout the country supplem enting a report recorded up a few days agothe ontario minister of labor hon n o hipel now says his depart ment has approved in the last three months some s2482885 worth of projected factories shops and office buildings in the city of toronto the building trades em ployees are going to work with full dinner pails reports are more persistent that british and foreign capital is on the way to canada for large industrial devel opment many canadian business houses reading the signs are laying in increased stocks in readiness for accented buying by the genera public in the fall officials of the canadian national exhibition who have contact with all types of canadian business declaie that executives are op- tomistic are buying more space at the exhibition grounds to exhibit their wares only the uncertainty as to what hit ler may start holds back a tremendous rush they feel the wheat crop in the west seems safe now and its a bumper one with the price set at 70 cents travellers from the west say that citizens out there are already beginning to spend as they havent done in recent year nodifference where pupils write same marking standard says chairman of entrance examination board complaints made against the richmond hill high school entrance board in this paper two weeks ago are answered by principal james stewart chairman of the entrance board who maintains that our misinformation regarding the subject is complete for years now we have been hearing time and again that if you want to get through on an easy ticket just try exams at lemon- ville and avoid stouffville which is attached to richmond hill as a consequence our misin formation to the contrary pupils have actually travelled from southeast of stouffville over to lemonville and tried there true pupils are expected to write at the nearest centre to their place of residence but this is not really enforced however we are pleased to give mr stewarts explanation to our readers as it may help to put at rest the popular idea that one inspectorate is easier on marking than another here is what he says sir your front page editorial do entrance pupils shun local school of your issue of july 6 has come to my attention your misinformation regard ing this subject is complete 1 entrance candidates their teachers and inspectors have no choice as to where the candidates shall write depart mental regulations require them to do so at the entrance centre nearest their place of residence 2 the alleged low standards maintained at markham do not exist are you aware that the department furnishes each entrance board with a set of instructions in great detail for marking entrance answer papers these are uniform throughout the province and i am assured they are rigidly adhered to by the affiliated entrance board of markham aurora and newmarket 3 the alleged high standard required by the richmond hill entrance board is just as non- existant the same department marking instructions are just as well obseived also it is not true that stouffville candidates have fared badly here they have always met with high per centage of success this year every stouffville candidate both village and rural passed 4 theie is no good reason for the stouffville school board desiring rural entrance candi dates to write at stouffville the expense involved has no compensations i do not care where they write none of them ever attended high school here so that the standards maintain ed by the entrance boards con cerned are a matter of com plete indifference to me hoping that you may be en lightened and reassured by the above and that your sense of fairness may require you to publish it with prominence equal to that afforded the original editorial i remain sincerely yours james stewart chairman entrance board richmond hill a sunny smile on a sandy beach miss toronto of 1939 to attend richmond hill street dance on wed aug 9th miss
