page two the tribune stouffville ont thursday sept 28th 1939 2 mtffmu ujribmu established 188s 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 9250 a v nolan jp editor and publisher editorial comment whitby found lacking the town of whitby neglected to appoint a pound keeper and now finds the need of such a station in the mun icipal life of the ontario county capital perhaps it was just pride and a little of that too big feeling that impellr ed whitby to discontinue practise of appointing annually a pound keeper feeling such was below the dignity of a fast growing municipality whatever the cause the council were told a few days ago that roaming cattle and horses were again at its door as in the days of the old plank sidewalks and there is no lockup in which to empound the stray- ing ones roads are for city population toronto is again seeking a reduction in the 25 per cent it now contributes to the cost of york county roads which includes the centre 20 feet of the fine pavement on stouffvilles main street when the request was made on a previous occasion the government seemed favorable but nothing was done cities are paid nothing by the province towards the cost of the pavements they provide on kings highways within their limits and it is unfair they claim to tax them 25 per cent of the county roads and bridges as well of course if toronto were 200 miles away they would- not have to pay 25 per cent and we on the other hand wouldnt need the many roads they help pay for dundalk gets advance tax payments over in the village of dundalk they do things in a way that would seem novel to most places the village council is short of funds taxes are not due until december 32 so the dundalk herald comes out with a nice news item telling how the council are in need of money to pay their accounts and if some kindly disposed ratepayers would just come forward arid stick up the taxes due in december all would be well and the boys around the council table would be happy as clams well sir the trick worked in dun dalk and no less than 650 was ponied up by the citizens now the hearld through its able editor frank mclntyre is telling the ratepayers that another 1000 is really need ed and if the ratepayers will please line up and pay it would greatly oblige the council just like that hoarding is not waranted some call it business acumen others call it greed whenever a large portion of the people after hearing that war has been announced rush to the nearest store and stocked up with sugar and other articles they estimated would be scarce and which would likely advance in price unfortunately people who do this thing and hoard supplies are in the aggregate the very persons largely responsible for the shortage that ultimately followed the raid on the grocery this time there is plenty of food stuffs and folks should not be stamped into hoarding quantities of it if the government does its job rightly there will be no undue advance in prices of most goods that is there will be no profiteering normal advances cannot be helped and are justified wheat for instance jumped about 20c a bushel this month and this will add to the cost of some things in which wheat is used farm products on the whole were selling below cost and their advance was most welcome no need for conscription the financial post one of the outstanding authorities in canada does not favor the conscription of men for over seas fighting at this time despite the call to arms advo cated and heard from the numerous veteran organizations the post summarizes the situation and we think correctly when it says there is talk these days about conscription it is be ing argued that compulsory enlistment is needed to en sure equality of sacrifice and maintain the initial flow of canadian manpower into active war service there are at least two good reasons why conscription is undesirable and unwise at this time 1 conscription might rouse racial antagonism obviously canadas contribution will be made unitedly to jeopardize our initial war effort by dissension would be short sighted nor is there need as yet to run this risk a risk which may disappear as we proceed 2 we need first to make sure what sort of a job we want individual canadians to do in this war until we do this until we unlock huge reserves of pentup enthusiasm energy and initiative there is little point in conscripting tens of thousands of people into war service how to begin the day a moment in the morning take your bible in your hand and catch a glimpse of glory from the peaceful promised land it will linger still before you when you seek the busy mart and like flowers of hope will blossom into beauty within your heart then the precious words like jewels will glisten all the day with a rare effulgent glory that will brighten all the way a moment in the morning ere the cares of day begin ere the hearts wide door is open for the world to enter in ah there alone with jesus in the stillness of the morn in heavenly sweet communion let thy duty day be born in the quietude that blesses with prelude of repose let your soul be soothed and softened as the dew revives the rose advance expected pupils from ss 14 in price of eggsj win t eaton prize chicken population of ontario at 21189000 about same there is little difference in the poultry population of on tario this year compared with last chicken prices remain about the same with farmers getting 20 cents a pound for the best dressed birds of four and five pounds in the chicken census last year there were 21189000 birds and the figur es have differed little for three years egg production has been up the average and prices have been lower than the last year quotations are three to four cents per dozen below last yearsprices at this time and advances are expected by the united farmers cooperative company and other large deal ers from now until the middle of november when the produc tion may be sufficient to bring down prices meat prices and the advance in grain prices have not affected the poultry mar ket from a chicken and egg standpoint new laid eggs may bring 40 cents a dozen for the best grade within a compara tively short time but grade c eggs may be had for 22 to 23 cents a dozen garnet shadlock and christine robb best at markham fair 200 teaching days in the school year which open ed on september 5th and closes june 28

not yet proclaimed presentday hitchhik ers have become a nuisance hitchhiking through the coun try has developed into a racket and a mean one there are few motorists who like to pass a pedestrian on the road but there is getting to be so many of them that a trip were one to pick them all up would be a nightmare most motorists do not object to helping a friend out once in a while but it is piling it on a bit thick to be expected to furnish transporta tion for many who are merely touring the country at some body elses expense there are many travellers on the road today who bum their transportation off other travellers or some citizens and no doubt they put the money they saved in their own pockets these felows ride all over the country but no matter how far one takes them they never offer to pay for a gallon of gasoline they are what we used to call professional bums motorists may be doing them selves a wrong in picking up too many of this class of traveller if they knew they simply could not get free transportation they would probably patronize the railroads and thus keep down the deficit of a million dollars a month the canadian national is now costing this country we dont object to giving a friend a lift but we feel it is an imposition to be held up every few miles by some thumber who probably has more money in his pocket than ourselves unionville sept 22 the
