page two the tribune stouffville ontario thursday july 17 1941 iy tmiffmu rtbmi established 1888 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 8250 a v nolan jp editor and publisher our editorial comment barbers ask nothing unreasonable the village of stouffville has grown to be more than 70 years old but never before until last week had any of its municipal councils been asked to pass a bylaw regulating the hours of industry in the village in their request to have council pass a bylaw forbidding any barbering shop to open on monday evenings or wednesday afternoons the barbers are breakig new ground no one will deny that the barbers are entitled to shorter hours than they enjoy in this place there is no reason for them to be open on monday evenings when all other business places are closed nor is their any reason for them remaining open on wednesday afternoons when the business section is all closed up indeed the barbers close now along with the other stores each wednesday afternoon the unusual thing is that they asked these two clos ing periods be made mandatory on themselves even though they now by mutual agreement close their shops wednes day noon each week the public ask why the barbers cannot continue to close by mutual agreement the answer is that by mutual agreement when a customer comes in after hours or just when the shop should be closing the barber is obligated to wait on him if he were forbidden to do so by law then he can politely say so and so could close his shop more promptly the next regular council meeting is on august 1st at which time the council will pass the bylaw as they are required to do under the provisions of the shop act after that it will be illegal for barber shops to do business on monday evenings after 630 or on wednesday afternoons after 1230 unless those days precede a holiday few requests for free local advertising the perth dufferin and wellington counties press association in session recently went on record as favoring their newspapers in the area weeklies charging for adver tising patriotic undertakings few people will have any quarrel with this stand as a newspaper must obtain revenue from its advertising just as a merchant obtains revenue from the goods in his store it often happens that half a dozen organizations in various sections of the district ask for complimentary notic es in the same issue which if charged for would total per haps 300 frankly we want to compliment the people of stouffville and district who somehow realize that such notices should be paid for and we are seldom asked to donate free space the newspaper proprietors do their share of giving just like other folk but they must make a profit from their business otherwise they would soon have noth ing to give locally we have little complaint to make on this issueand feel that when the people in the counties mention ed have the matter explained to them they too will see the fairness of the situation ps nothing in this editorial note applies to a basketful of letters from outside interests which come to our desk weekly seeking free advertising spact from out side we know they total a basketful because thats where they go stated pastorate would help solve trouble reverend john coburn retiring president of the toronto conference of the united church strongly denounc ed the practice of a number of congregations which make overtures to young ministers to leave their posts during the middle of the year he declared congregations were con tinually asking for ministers not more than forty years of age and he wondered what would become of the older men if this state of affairs continued he deplored the growing tendency to gauge the suitability of a minister upon his age rev john coburn may be right indeed he is right but he is one of the men who could do a great deal to cor rect this situation a stated term for pastors such as was enjoyed in the former methodist church would largely rotate the ministers in such a way as to remove the present belittling method of hiring ministers we had heard no voice raised by the socalled city ministers who want to remain such about going back to a system of calling or stationing ministers that was very satisfactory when changes were general every four or five years nothing has done so much harm to the united church of canada caused so much bad feeling among the people as the per sistant quiet on the part of the church leaders who should do something to rid the church of this hit and miss method of engaging a minister a bylaw to regulate loads ratepayers may be justified in asking whether the time has not arrived for our municipal body in stouffville to pass a bylaw regulating the manner in which truckers shall be permitted to transport stuff through the main high way of this village hauling hay straw and other light substance is quite common and recently it has cost the ratepayers unnecessary money to clean up the street after back to standard time the village of bolton which pass ed a bylaw at one time placing the village on daylight saving time res cinded the whole thing last week and is now back on standard time the one big complaint said the bol ton enterprise is that it was not possible to get stores closed at night at the proper time resulting in ad ding another hour to the working time of store keepers and business men in general farmers simply did not get in to do their shopping early enough help is so scarce and expen sive that many have to do without and have to put in all the daylight hours there are on the land leaving the shopping until after dark credit to the author the editorial on the late miss jean gunn obe appearing in our last issue was from the pen a a perry editor of the elora express scores of similar or shorter editorial com ment was read but editor periys our readers will agree was a rare compliment to even a great nurse a modern definitiox how would you define a modern bride anyway a modern bride is a featherless biped who is willing to begin house keeping with one skillet one can opener one kettle and at least two bridge tables hauling was completed it was said that a week or more ago at least two bales of straw were lifted from the road which had blown from a truck the town had to sweep whole blocks and pay for drawing it away had the owner been thoughtful enough to place a tarpaulin or something else on the load to hold it down all this work and expense could easily have been avoided after it had been cleaned up the same thing might have been re peated and it is repeated every year numerous times by truckers and others issue summonses by mail commencing july 1 motorists throughout ontario charged with offences under the highway traffic act are served with summonses by mail and not by personal ser vice the change follows amendments to the highway traffic act passed at attorney general conants direction at the last session of the legislature the summonses as delivered by mail follows the regular wording as to the charge but added is a notice that if the accused does not appear in person or by counsel in answer to the mailed summons a further summons will be served by personal service cost of which the motorist will pay the change will mean a saving of thousands of dollars to motorists who formerly had to pay personal service costs business directory brierbush
