page two the tribune stouflfville ont thursday july 25th 1940 stye i0uffmue rtbnn established 1888 member of the canadian weekly newspaper association issued every thursday at stouffville ontario eight to ten pages average circulation 1400 subscription rates per year in advance in canada 200 in usa 5250 a v nolan jp editor and publisher editorial comment paint up and look up using a slang expression a lot the store fronts along main street are having their face lifted everybody will know just what is meant by such a vague explanation of saying that the store fronts are being painted strange how we english speaking people can use so many words or so many slang expressions and know exactly what is meant to a foreigner its a terrible headache listen to this we read in the oval a magazine of industrial chemistry that the consu mption of salt in the world is 30 million tons a year and the article enlightened us further by stating that this amount of coarse salt would cover a square mile of land to a depth of 30 feet and yet could be obtained by evaporation from onefifth of a cubic mile of sea water it is an astounding fact that in windsor ont there is enough salt to last the world should all other sources fail for close to 100000 years its going to be stopped steps are being taken to stamp out speeding in stouffville especially by motorists driving near the east or west boudaries when once out of the business section some people drive like air bombers on a death mission and we are gladthat something is being done before a death is recorded constable al greenwood will have the cooperation of county men in getting after speeders some of whom do not display any brains at all we owe them thanks who ever heard of a village council or the members of the school trustee board being granted a vote of thanks for their past services we do not suppose any has and perhaps they never will but it is something that wouldbe quite proper and right just now members of the trustee board in stouffville and members of the council are doing a good deal of wishful thinking too they are estimating their expenditures for the year and do not want the tax rate to increase the schqolexpenses are running close to receipts and if they are not most careful a higher demand will be made on the ratepayers the members are determin ed to get by on what it took last year likewise members of the council are fighting in the same way to keep their ex penses down so that everybody may have a low tax rate these men work voluntarily none of them are paid a cent by the taxpayers for the hours they spent if they do a good job they do not ever get a vote of thanks strange isnt it that men will serve in these offices when a good job doesnt even bring you a thank you but where poor public service will bring you condemnation whats happening in germany today in the current issue of health issued by the health league of canada appears an article which impressed us so much that we want to tell our readers something of what we read it i a phase of germanys weakness which has been concealed behind nizi propaganda and boasting germany no matter how startling may appear her temporary triumphs has already sown he seeds of her eventual destruction this fact is easily apparent to those who have studied the appalling indifference show by her present leaders hi regard to the physical mental and moral health of the nation it suggests that in the present conflict with what is realised as historys most terrifying example of ignorance and egotism in power one of the most effective weapons will be forged by building up in the free dem ocracies what germany has deliberately torn down in the enslaved reich the health the happiness and the efficiency of their people as part of its campaign to effect this consummation in the dominion the health league of canada presents a resume of conditions which had been deliberately fostered by the nazi regime in germany even before the present war they have of course become worse since that time and will become progressively so as the war continues before 1914 germany was a leader in matters of health and the combating of disease then came the war and the health of german civilians suffered from the condition of semistarvation which their leaders had brought upon them after peace was declared germany resumed her place in the leadership of all branches of science and in movements for the betterment of human health in 1933 adolf hitler and his nazi party assumed power since when it has been their proudest boast that they have restored a weakened and unhappy people to health strength vitality and happiness how much truth lies in that claim may be judged from the facts published by dr gumpert former head of berlin dispensary he reveals that rickets a disease arising from lack of nutritions is decreasing in all civilized countries yet in germany it is increasing at an appalling rate in some ger man cities it reaches 96 scarlet fever has increased from 70830 in 1933 to 117544 in 1937 diphtheria is up from 77830 to 146733 cases in 1937 infantile paralysis and oliier diseases are mouht bring on your republicans amid tumult which was stupendous if not quite spon- taneous the democrats of the united states nominated frank lin d roosevelt for a third term in washingtons white house roosevelt was the first president so nominated in the history of the republic dele gates made the draft unani mous drafting of the man who had publicly renounced his high office came as the whirlwind finish of a fivehour threering circus of oldfashioned political tubthumping at chicago it came 24 hour ahead of schedule when senator lester hill of alabama demanded during a prenominal roll call of the states that america call on this great patriot to save her in her hour of daikest need people to say if citizens desire municipal elections to be held annually after this year it is necessary that they intimate this to the council the council may decide to put the decision for a longer term up to the ratepayers if they do not do this a petition from five per cent of the rate payers obligates the council to pass a bylaw and submit the question at the election this year and no doubt many coun cils will adopt whatever plan appears to meet their require ments if council does not sub mit the bylaw the two year term automatically becomes effective and the municipal bod ies eected in 1941 carry on for a two year term if a vacancy occurs during the tenure of office the remaining members of the council or boartj choose the person for the position it cant happen here new rates postmaster leavens has furnished us with a new rate card for mailing parcel post which reveals a slight upward

same coach as her friend whose child los ing its ball the mother joined in the search and during the hunt was surprised to find the feet of the supposed two nuns cased in heavy mens shoes and having
