faqktwo the tribune stouffvilleont thursday july16th 1942 ebumuw1888 member of the canadian weekly newspaper association iss e thursday at stouffville ontario eight to twelre pages average circulation 1650 copies subscription kates per year in advance in canada 200 in usa 9250 a v nolan son publishers notes and comments fees paid hong kong commission read like fairy tale the royal commission enquiring into the hong kong expedition which recently made their report to the govern ment have since tendered their bills to ottawa it makes interesting reading and makes us wish that we could all be appointed just once to a royal commission george a cammpbell of montreal received 9568 r l kellock of toronto 7298 and r m fowler of toronto 4084 col george a drew the other member of the commission had not sent in a bill why such lucrative pay is handed to royal commissions is hard to understand especially in war time when people are taxed in a really serious way to raise money to carry on the war effort why we are sure that four competent lawyers could have been found in rural ontario who would have accom plished just as much as the fancy paid commission and who would have done the work for less than the amount paid the lowest commissioner perhaps we are wrong what do you think taking blood tests from car drivers the province of ontario should have a place for taking blood tests from drunken drivers without cost to the town or township who is asked to take the blood from some per son in charge of a police officer and who may be suspected of being drunk last week two cars crashed in stouffville one driver admitted having a drink or two but would not admit be ing drunk a blood test was ordered by the police and when the report came back there wava bill for 10 the blood doner was from the usa and had returned home in the meantime why should the village have to pay 10 for this blood test remembering that both cars were merely pass ing through our community as smaller municipalities get wise to this situation they will refuse to make a test even though such test should be made 1 tax arrears were wisely saved stouffville ratepayers may indeed be congratulated on getting by this year 1942 with a tax rate no higher than that paid two years ago namely a net rate of 35 mills it would take two mills to pay for the new sidewalks put down this year while the school board has increased its levy by 500 or about three quarters of a mill despite these sharp increases it has all been absorbed and there will be no in crease over the past two years several thousands of doll ars in tax arrears have been collected by the yillageand therein lies the answer instead of spending this money as it came in the council wisely conserved much of it as a surplus and now it has been a splendid buffer to keep the rate stable at a time when many other heavy taxes are up on us army food and guns more food will be wasted in ontario this year than ever before said harry h scott president of the ontario federation of agriculture following a- meeting of the ex- ecutive last week one hundred acre farms every where are going vacant and far too many are being only half worked this is evident to anyone driving through the country with one eye open to those who could remedy this situation only a food shortage will bring home the serious ness of the situation official ottawa is convinced that the farmer will produce anyway short of help or not the fight is on as to whether it is to be a big army plen ty of food or lots of guns justnow the food end seems to be ignored and the farmer is kicking hard for recognition too much sweetness dangerous persons who had a of sugar on hand whenthe sugar rations came into force were very fortunate but those who in spite of the bag in the pantry continued to buy niore are finding themselves in trouble a sugar ration officer is checking up arid where he finds that mrs jones has been pulling on ttie merchant when she had lots of sugar on hand is seeking to enact the penalty of a 50 fine was triere ever a time when innocent folk became more entangled with the law than today sweettoothed canadians will certainly have to stretch their sugar supply further than formerly denying them- selves perhaps the crystal cubes that used to sweeten their tea and coffee but those who have already made this slight sacrifice find it no real hardship describing village life in england of 600 years agoa his torian stated that all salt used for preserving meat was produced by evaporation in pans on the seashore and that a couple of bushels of salt cost as much as a sheep while salt was dearand scarce sugar tos unknown except to the very rich the poor had little to sweeten their lot apart from the honey enjoyed by those who owned a hive likemany other things that were once regarded as lux uries sugar became a common place necessity but now threatens to recede into the luxury class again pur war

avenue toronto ontario 4th july 1942 stouffville tribune stouffville ontario sir this letter is being written in an effort to dispel the unwarranted ideas some people hold in regard to the stouffville junior band let me first explain that the band has not disbanded but that meet ings have been discontinued during the hot summer weeks in ordei- that the band members and the bandmaster may have a rest and subsequent recuperation from a strenuous season many of the mem bers are holidaying in july and august and some are giving assist- tance to the farmers who are hard pressed for help plans are now be ing made for an open air concert during the last week in august the committee are deeply grate ful for a 100 gift from the town through the council which will help a lot the stringent finances the committee hopes that many of the boys and girls who have not yet availed themselves of the oppor tunity to join the band will do so at that time the committee also feel that many of the townspeople who have voiced their appreciation and delight in the band will now come forward with their suggestions and support in the final analysis this is the stouffville band it is a credit and an inspiration to the community as a whole and the boys and girls who comprise its membership are your boys and girls after eighteen months association with them i can honestly say that they are of the salt of the earth and that their friends as well as their parents have a right to feel proud of them i have often felt that way and yet they are your children in closing let me remind you that man lives not by bread alone and that as this war grows in intensity and demolition becomes more wide spread music will be called upon to play an important part in the moral building of the nation yours
