page two the tribune stouffville ont thursday nov 14 1940 ije imrffmlli rtbmu 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 3250 a v nolan jp editor and publisher editorial comment roosevelt an old friend we have not heard of a single newspaper in all canada that did not hail the reelection of franklin d roosevelt as president of the united states with a mingled feeling of satisfaction his opponent wendell wilkie ex pressed his desire to help great britain but roosevelt is an old friend and there is nothing like an old friend in time of trouble early election dates still a number of new municipalities to the scheme are trying out the earlier election date this year the latest to be added being the village of port elgin the law pro vides that elections may be held on the first monday in december or the first monday in january the earlier dates gets away from the turmoil of elections during the christ mas season nominations are held on monday nov 22 with elections a week later if the earlier date is adopted up to the present time there is not a single munici pality near stouffville that has ventured to change from the accustomed christmas and new year election time al though there is considerable merit in the scheme the single objection is that the taxes are not all in for the current year and councils fear that the financial statement would not prove so satisfactory not true liberal organ recent issues of the liberal advocate a monthly magazine published in toronto are causing concern and embarrassment to the government there has been no official liberal party publication since the first month of the war the liberal monthly organ made its last appearance until the war is over in sept 1939 meantime the liberal advocate of toronto is being widely regarded without warrant as a party publication this misconception apparently results from the somewhat partisan character of the editorial matter for example a recent issue carries a large photograph of hon c d howe on the cover and it is stated in the issue that one of the chief purposes of the magazine is to maintain a cooper ative spirit between the government and the people members of the government when the magazine was brought to their attention declared that there is no connection between the party and the liberal advocate moreover monetary heresies recently advocated in a series of three articles in the magazine find no support in official circles in a recent issue it was stated investigation has shown that unemployment and its subsequent ills such as bad housing conditions ex cessive taxation burdensome public debt and starvation wages are all directly due to our inefficient money system which is now controlled as a private monopoly in the hands of the chartered banks nothing could be farther from the point of view of the government than this statement the articles were propaganda for the hallatt system of rubber money may bar fruit and vegetables because canada needs the american dollar to buy airplanes machine tools and other items of war there is a possibility that some curtailment of foodstuffs from across the line may become effective before long in a splen did article on the subject the whole field is surveyed by the financial post under the caption canadians produce to fill the gap in u s supplies restricted the post has this to say which is of particular interest to our readers in this vegetable section if american fresh fruits and vegetables imports are re stricted canadian production must largely fill the gap a quick survey indicates that it can do so barring some contingencies and excepting a few obvious lines late crops such as potatoes cabbage celery carrots and beets were fair to large and provided these things have been properly stored and keep well it is believed that there is sufficient on hand to meet all needs there was not a large crop of apples but with chance of export there is far more of this fruit on hand than is normally consumed in canada if early vegetables from the united states are cut off completely or partially there will have to be naturally much greater reliance on canadian canned goods interest centres on tomatoes this is not only a popular food on its own account but is one of the very few canadiangrown products that contribute the same vitamin as is found in citrus fruits on canned tomatoes and tomato juice house wives will largely depend if they are asked to sacrifice oranges there was a large acreage of tomatoes in canada this year but t financial post is informed the weather was unfavorable during the ripening season and great quantities of the crop rotted instead of the 35 million case pack anticipated last july only about 25 millions material ized canadian consumption amounts to about 2 million cas es and half a million is needed for a safe carryover no figures are available yet for the tomato juice pack but it is believed a fair average is expected a year ago there was a heavy surplus in tomatoes following two years of exccl- lwitkd statks destroyers for britain about 30 american destroyers are shown in this photograph of san diego bay in the united states quite a formidable line of ships that gives

solved any surplus problem normally present stocks of tomatoes would be con sidered ample but if american citrus fruits are restricted the situation may change quickly another factor is the possibility of british imports at present old country authorities dont want canned goods have virtually an em bargo against them but of course this restriction is not permanent if it was lifted as it was for a time last year then certainly shortage of tomatoes and other canned goods would be a possibility in other canned lines there is reported to be ample stocks of peas peaches and pears a fair amount of grapes and grape products but shortages of corn and all berries there is some hope in official circles that canadian housewives will turn more to apples while not possessing the same vitamin values as tomatoes or citrus fruits they have the big advantage of being both cheap and available indeed with practically no export market since early in the war the dominion authorities have felt it necessary to sub sidize the canadian apple industry to the tune of at least a million dollars a year fair deal to let the ratepayers vote in submitting the twoyear term for reeves and councillors to the electors the whitchurch council are tak ing the fairest course why should a council wait until they are forced to submit the issue or the time slips by when there can be nothing done about it the government real ized that it was an unpopular law and so provided a means to allow those who stand up and fight for their rights a way out there is however only one way out and that is to vote against the measure on january 6th next if the by law is not passed by the council of the municipality in an other two weeks it is too late to submit the issue and municipalities are automatically swept into the new deal what might the ratepayers have said to the coun cillors of whitchurch when the full force of the issue con fronts them on nomination day showing that under the twoyear term remaining members of the council appoint a new reeve or member of council should a vacany occur in any of these officers under the present system the rate payers make that choice we cant imagine them giving it up so far as twoyear terms go the present system pro vides for them through acclamation after the ratepayers have passed on the record of the council they acclaim is it reasonable to suppose the electors will pass that up too bingo proceeds for ove comfo markham township war veterans held the first euchre of their annual preholiday series in the township hall last thursday evening the euchre
