markham economist sun passes from the ownership of the corson estate into the hands of messrs john whetter and m williams and we hasten to congratulate the new owners on their wisdom in acquiring this old established newspaper in which they have been employed for some years our neighboring week ly has a large field to cover and the opportunities for use fulness and influence are many mr whetter brings youth and courage to a line of business that needs plenty of it in these days while mr williams mature judgment and able pen will have its full scope in moulding the futuie of the village and district it serves although our closest neighbors in the newspaper field we count its new owners among our friends whom we have always found ready to cooperate and help when that help was asked for may he economist sun live long to flourish under new management a clean village all the year round it came to the attention of the stouffville council the other evening someone from this town had been guilty of carrying old tins and other rubbish to a rural section and dumping it on a sideroad as is usually the case when this kind of thing happens the offender was caught and will have the humiliating experience of going back and picking up the stuff and taking it to the village dump which is provided for such material the idea was advanced that stouffville ought to have a bylaw prohibiting anyone but an authorized person to pick up dumping material and take it away further it was suggested that there should be a pickup in town at least once every three months by the person authorized to do this work householders could pay their 25 cents or what ever the amount less than this is set for the job this paper heartily approves a quarterly cleanup of this kind the bit of change each one would pay would nev er be noticed and it would eliminate piling up waste mater ial for 12 months as at present if the council can enter in to some such arrangement with a trucker and seal it with a bylaw it would be an advanced step and one in the inter est of better health the church takes a holiday the whitby gazette in an able editorial last week condemns the action of certain churches that close their doors for the summer months fortunately none of them go that far around stouffville although many of them confine the sabbath worship to one service on that day usually dropping the evening worship the whitby editor will find a responsive cord in his opposition but there is one thing ithat he did not tell us how to cope with and that is the ser vice of worship where the people just do not come to wor ship the service where a normal congregation of 160 on sunday dwindles to 20 or 25 people all in all the subject should be a live one in these days when so many people feel indifferent to the house of god the gazette raises its voice in the following words already papers all over the country are announcing curtailment and in some cases cessation of church and sun day school services for the summer months in other words the church is preparing to take a holiday ministers are planning their long vacations and substitutes are being found for their pulpits in some places like whitby two congregations are uniting for july and august in country correspondence this notice will undoubtedly appear before long our church will be closed while our pastor is away on his vacation other years these church holidays do not seem out of place but this year with the war on and people more in need of spiritual comfort and consolation to be found in the church and with emphasis being laid on the need for a return to god we believe that it is a mistake if the people seeking these spiritual blessings turn to the church for guidance and leadership and find the doors closed what will they do they may retire to their own closets but will they turn their backs on the church we ask this question in all seriousness we may be criticized for venturing to even suggest

and they were rather hot for years theyd lived there side by side and to each house thered come a bride good neighbors there for years there was a shortcut path between so much twas used never green shared joys and griefs and fears that line fence seemed to get his goat it stuck right square inside dans throat he couldnt gee nor haw and hot words flowed across his chin he said that joe was cheating him and so hed go to law joe didnt know what dan might do and so he got a lawy er too the case went into court they hired an engineer to come to find just where the fence should run he made a long re port dan got a bill and so did joe as much is all the wheat theyd grow and they both began to groan they read the judgment through and through it said the only thing to do was leave the fence alone that path that used to be kept bare you wouldnt know twas ever there no feet on it so long and dan was stubborn in his way for all hed have t do was say he knew that he was wrong up for that purpose the num ber of offers far exceeds the de mands for the present time the children are to be sent to canada only with the full ap proval of their parents or guardians the dominion gov ernment will use its medical officers and its immigration authorities overseas for examin ation of the children before sail ing it will take charge of their reception at canadian ocean ports and provide transporta tion and care enroute to pro vincial distribution centres welfare organizations in the provinces will cooperate with the dominion government in their placement and aftersuper vision more than half of the initial contingent of children will be placed in ontario and quebec the remainder being distributed in other provinces on a pro rata population basis a communication from the canadian high commisioner states that about 3000 avacuees will arrive in canada about the middle of july and a further 750 every five days thereafter to july 25 v the number allotted to any community like stouffville will depend on the facilities for schooling if our schools in this village only have accommodation for 30 more children than those regularly attending then our overseas allotment would be
