msb two the tribune stouffville ont thursday sept 10th 1942 ip tinrffiriu sribirar estawished 1888 member of the canadian weekly newspaper association issued every thursday at stouffville ontario eight to twelve pages average circulation 1650 copies subscription rates per year in advance in canada 200 in usa 260 a v nolan son publishers notes and comments threaten to close off night trade the government is about to step in and regulate the hours at which stores may remain open it looks at this time as though there will be a general closing every night of the week at 630 excepting on saturday when they may remain open until 10 pm during the winter time there will be little quarrel with such an arrangement for these hours are observed by most towns but in the summer season such interference on the part of the government would seem to be entirely unwarranted we know from experience that a real service has been rendered the farmers in stouffville this summer on the part of the merchant who kept his store open three nights a week and until midnight on saturdays tremen- dous crowds came and the merchant reaped a big trade while the farmer was able to take full advantage of the daylight to work in the fields everybody government and all should get behind the farmer and this is where stouff ville got behind him this summer in rendering an accom modation unsurpassed anywhere there seems to be too great a tendency on the part of the government to regulate everything that is done we know that a great deal of it is necessary but in the matter of dictating to the village merchant interference would certainly be resented and we cant see any reason for it v our stores have remained open very late to help the farm- v ers now that harvest is over store keepers are justified in reducing the night hours and farmers should see to it that they do not leave their buying until the last minute the beef shortage eastern canada is moving into what may prove the most severe beef shortage of the war to date the volume of cattle passing into packers killing yards has dwindled to a meandering trickle most of the beef available must go to the military services little is left for civilian con sumption so drastic is the shortage already that last week ottawa had to step into packers refrigerators requisition stocks for the army that ordinarily would have gone to civilian customers best guesses are that there will be no relief for the tight beef situation for at least another month oct 1 al though the wartime price and trade board took steps last week to spread cattle prices so there would be no in centive on the part of the farmer to withhold his cattle un til the next quota opens with its certaintees of higher prices around october 1st the bicycle is back it would seem that every boy and girl in town owns a bicycle these days and certainly a large percentage of them have one there is a village bylaw that forbids them being ridden on the sidewalks and there is less excuse for one riding the sidewalk these dayas of i fine pavement then when the bylaw was made probably 30 years ago or more however we started- out to say something about the change brought about by the war in the mode of living n in peacetime for instance the motorist could jump into his car and drive helter over the highways with great abandon having little or no thought of the wear and tear on his car the burning of gasoline or the wearing down of his tires these could be readily replaced provided the purse could stand the strain but today conditions are vastly different gasoline is rigidly- rationed no longer is it possible to get tires fos- purely civilian driving and parts for breakages are becom- ing hard to replace all of these factors have resulted in the removal of cars from the road what will be the result of this disappearance- from the highway of more and more automobiles the answer is obvious transportation problems that in some areas are even now difficult will become more aggravated the horse will definitely come into its own walking for pleasure will once again become popular people will stay closer to their homes and bicycles will be more widely used to help relieve the problem canada has created something of- a record by arranging for a 150 per cent in crease in the production of bicycles during 1942 at the same time the making of childrens bicycles is prohibited after present stocks of bicycle parts are exhaust- ed manufacturers will be permitted to make only three sizes two foremen and one for women while no model will weigh more than 33 pounds except for the handlebar stem and the tube supporting the seat there will be no nickel plating the front mudguard will be two inches shorter than at present and such accessories as luggage carriers baskets and so forth will be prohibited from orange to rose a shortage of oranges in britain has led to the acceptance of a new and rich source of vitamin c the anti- scurvy vitamin it is now a question of would a rose by any other name taste as sweet thats debatable but the fact that theyre effectively taking the place of semitropi cal citrus fruits in the diet of british children is beyond question s babson urges everyone to make a will i whatever happens to our physical bodies our property goes on just the same says roger babson in the financial post when we make or save money we are taking on a responsibility which we cannot shake if we inherit or put onr sav ings into land it can never be des troyed if we put them into good buildings or securities they will long outlive us this land these buildings and these securities are going to be a source of good or evil throughout the ages even if our heirs lose their money the money is not lost it is represented by property which somebody has and which someone may always have yet we alone are largely responsible for how it is used during the ages ahead wills necessary hence it is of great importance that every reader make a will one of the most painful things to me is to see a man work scrape and save i throughout his lifetime and yet give little thought to how his money will be used after he goes yet the after portion of time is far moro important than the years lived the accumulation period of a mans life is short but the dis tribution period extends almost forever this will determines how your estate is to be used during these ages ahead shall it be used con structively or destructively shall it make those who inherit it better or worse who shall control it these are vital questions the future of hundreds of beneficiaries and descendants is intimately af fected by the answers only a coward or lazy person re fuses to make a will and keep it revised from time to time only a very selfish person refuses to take time to think out how his will should be written who should be remembered and to what extent then you should decide to whom and what portion you should give outright and what portion you should leave in trust god holds you alone responsible for your de cisions before going to the lawyers to draw your willtalk your plans over with your family and get their approval when alive you can per haps make them do as you want them to but after you go they will be free to do as they wish hence the only safe way to have your real wishes carried out is to convince your family of your wishes in ad vance select your kxecutor some people have the idea that if there is no will a mans estate need not be administered this is not so without a will the law will divide but the law cannot provide for charities or lifelong friends whom you might wish to remember even though you might divide your estate in the same manner as the law would today tomorrow the legislature may change that law without a will the court will appoint someone to act as adminis trator perhaps someone you do not like through a will you can name an executor of your own choosing and a guardian for your minor children you can exempt both from furnishing surety com pany bonds thereby saving expense to your estate in short you have the privilege of making your own plan and choosing the man to carry it out your will is the most important document you can ever write but a homemade will is the most ex pensive one therefore go to a good lawyer tell him of whom your family consists and their ages of any special circumstances such as sickness or other incapacity of any of them this is important because in some states wives or husbands have certain statutory rights which must be provided for while in other states failure to mention certain relatives may in validate the will it 1s essential that the person drawing your will know the size of your estate where it is situated an accurate description of the proper ty and in whose name it stands whether it is encumbered by mort gage or otherwise and whether investments arid bank accounts are in single or joint names remember joint property is not a reason for making no will but for making two wills insurance and trusts how about your life insurance if payable to your estate it will be taxable if payable to a named beneficiary as your wife or your children in many states it will not be taxable and does not pass by the terms of your will alternate beneficarlcs should bo named in the event the one first named dies be fore you do if you carry a sub stantial amoiint of life insurance it might be better to leave this in trust rather than have it paid to those inexperienced in vesting money as to tho will itsolf l pro vide for the payment of debts and the exponses of administration 2 provide for the distribution of personal and household effects mentioning specific articles 3 provide for gifts to your church favorite charity friends as well as to members of your family where such gifts form a substantial part of- the estate it may be better to give each a percentage of tho es tate rather than a fixed sum other wise the main bencficarles who are usually tho family may get little or nothing 4 consider forming hat order shorter 1 store hours limitation of retail stores to 50 hours of operation aweek as pro- posed by the wartime prices and trade board may create hardship for many independent retailers according to a letter from the can adian council of distribution the letter signed by mr w c fisher president suggests that the propos ed restrictions on store hours should not be put into effect on october l but that action might be a trust to assure wise management of your property after you go so that the principal shall be conserved and a dependable income be provided tbe varying needs of the future can be met by allowing the trustee to supplement income with payments from the principal whenever ad visable such a trust makes it pos sible for one tax one executors fee and one probate cost to carry your estate across tlireo generations dont forget in case you have made will and want to change it is is probably safer to make a codicil rather than a new will your lawyer will tell you why deferred intil january 1 pending the results- of windowlighiing cur tailinent in the central
