face two the tribune stouffville ontario thursday may 32nd 1941 2 tmrfftrille ujrttmnp established 188s member of the canadian weekly newspaper association issued every thursday at stouffville ontario eight to twelve pages average circulation 1500 copies subscription rates per year in advance in canada 200 in usa 9250 a v nolan jp editor and publisher editorial comment the coming victory loan every citizen of stouffville and district should be looking forward and giving serious thought to the coming victory loan for every home it is hoped will make an effort to buy a bond of some denomination no matter how small and they range down to 50 its a fine way to save money and everybody should have something these days living costs up 7 per cent cost of living has advanced but seven per cent since the beginning of the war according to the financial post which also points out that the cost of living at september 1939 was 17 per cent below the 1929 level war taxes are not part of cost of living although the many demands in this line lead wage earners to believe his pay once adequate is not enough and of course in some respects he is quite right andy clark and the news last week we had the privilege of attending a con vention of newspaper men in the city of hamilton and there enjoyed a banquet at which were miss ages macphail and our radio newscaster mr andy clark what mr clark told the editor of this paper about the merits of the tribune as a live weekly paper would never do to be seen in print for mr clark has a duty to perform to all papers and he sure does it however our readers who listen in every sunday morning to andy clark will understand that he finds real news in the tribune thought for a farmer over the cbc has been a series of programmes dis cussing farm problems recently the farm implement companies were accused of having raised cash prices for implements because they had been forced by political in vestigation to reduce interest charges on the same imple ments sold on the instalmentpayment plan actually the person who buys for cash gets a bene fit from the person who buys on credit this is even the case with the delinquent tax payer whom the prompt tax payer sometimes imagines he has to carry in the case of stouffville whitchurch markham and other municipalities with a few thousand dollars in tax arrears we point out that the delinquent pays the municipality more in tax pen alties than it costs to cairy his tax arrears in bank borrow ings likewise in the mercantile world the instalment pay er actually pays his own overdraft and helps the cash payer as well for instance automobiles are cheap because of mass production mass production became possible when someone developed the socalled easy payments for automobiles thus the buyer who pays cash benefits greatly from the mass buying of the people who buy on time would it not be fair to add something to the cash price of the automobile that something to be credited to the financing of time- sales rather than to the manufacturing and selling profit on the cash sale lowering the financing charges on time sales might stimulate such scales to the point where in normal times even more automobiles might be sold cartoon by grasstck in the financial pott toronto canada how about doing your bit n u the zditod mall uplands california may 14 1941 dear editor no words ol mine can fully ex press my appreciation for your val uable paper which reaches me very regularly each monday although many miles and mountains separate me yet through this medium it is possible to maintain a vital contact with my home community and my friends especially have i observed the contributions made by the re porters from victoria square gorm- ley dicksons hill and the 8th line and how i enjoyed their varied ac tivities thanking you i am yours truly stella i heise susie and tin- soldier arrow lake bc dear sir the success ot the germans on land is due to their superior strat egy mechanized equipment and the physical fitness of their troops the shock troops that smashed up jugo slavia in 5 days shun tobacco and alcohol this is something to be contemplated by those dear souls who think that the main thing in war is to keep the soldiers well supplied with smokes battles are won by bombs bullets and tough soldiers who have lived a life of selfdenial not by socks cigarettes and the pampered and physically unfit who glut the clearing stations and lines of retreat the waste of materials and effort is appalling susie knit socks for soldiers and it would be more to the point if susie planted potatoes instead the league ot nations has lapsed into a state of innocuous desuetude and it were better had it never ex isted the little entente and the big entente which rode high and handsome through europe have been smashed to smithereens hitler rules from the atlantic to the black sea through some countries with out firing a shot such a state of de moralization could not have happen ed

mrs j gould mr and mrs w l banbury mr and mrs cedar valley mail ser ver poor tribune subscribers on the cedar valley mail route are constantly reg istering complaints against the mail service they are getting it is not only the delivery of the papers bnt letters are frequently delayed one box holder told the tribune of course that is a matter they should take up with the post office inspector at toronto but we are deeply interested and concerned when the tribune fails to arrive these papers are placed in a bag labelled in the newspaper office direct to cedar valley their con stant arrival on friday with an occ asional delivery on thursday is not understandable to us as the papers leave stouffville regularly on the same train each wednesday evening it has been felt for a long time that the southern end of the cedar valley route running around musselmans lake should be served from stouff ville from which station a much bet ter eerviee could be rendered if the box holders concerned would unite their protests and petition their member of parliament who is none other than postmaster general col w p mulock we predict there would shortly be a change in the starting point for this mail it would be a simple matter to draft a petit ion and have it circulated among the box holders concerned j daniels and mr and mrs j race are four couples all of whom have passed their soth birthdays mrs n

income from the sale of farm products during the first half of 1941 will be considerably higher than in the corresponding period in 1940 states the latost issue of the current review of agricultural conditions in can ada marketings of most of the important farm products are running well above marketings a year ago in the prairie provinces the deferring of wheat marketings in the fall of 1940 has resulted in greater deliveries in the spring of 1941 and cash income is higher than in 1940 increases in the market of hogs have more than offset lower prices while both the volume of cattle marketings and the prices received are above those of a year ago dairy products are likewise bringing higher prices with a greater volume of production with further increases in consumer purchasing power during the next few months it is expected that the cash income of farmers will continue to increase over 1940 to rural mail box holders on thursday may 15th 1941 be fore judge oconnell in a
