his topic post war planing president j cattanach welcomed the visitors and ewart stiver moved the vote of thanks to the speaker and the stouff ville membeis for their help in spon soring the local club any hockey thk winter the question is being raised as to the prospects of a hockey club in stouffville or markham this coming season a canvas of the odd play ers of former years who are still available shows that up to date there has been no move to organize any club it has been suggested by some members of the markhamunionville lions club that some organization of this sort sponsor a local league the cream of which could be entered in the junior b playdowns at the end of the winter we await your views on the matter truck plunges through burn floor a heavy marniill truck loaded

soccer capt bruce forfar hockey capt kenneth schell baseball capt duncan smith host acknowledge comfort fund gifts air cut our telephone talks one minute it would nopoo the idea is rfot forgotten we are being bombarded by num erous people in town a number of whom are women as to what is being done toward providing for a munici pal hall or community hall for this town after the war as suggested in this paper some time ago the wo mens institute are calling for action also private citizens and to this we are able to report that the council is working on the scheme and are do ing everything to provide a good building lot for use when the time comes to put up the hall in the days ahead of us it is hoped that some thing definite may be announced within the very near future what of the band members of the old stouffville veteran band the claremont band and the markham trumpeters held a practice in town one evening re cently the lads of the old brigade did a good act in getting together in this way in keeping themselves fit and ready for an engagementon spe cial occasion brass bands are all too few these days and that leads us to ask what has become of the stouff ville junior band of which we were so proud without making enquir ies our guess is that the lack of a leader and the depleted ranks due to boys outgrowing the band or the school or that they have left town has so completely disorganized things they are unable to get going this fall it is a pity that a local leader either in town or close to town could not be found who would be able to keep the organization going such splen did instruments as the band gather ed should not be allowed to come to rest the community could well af ford to make a liberal grant in aid of expenses and new lads should be induced to take up this music that was the idea of a junior or school band one that could be adding on the bottom while older lads were stepping out at the top its not the easiest thing in the world to do but it can be done perhaps the school board could give some thought to aiding and advising in this matter since it was one of the finest bran ches of the school work in this town the civilian committee did fine work labored hard and deserve great cre dit for bringing the band to the stage it was at a year ago and no doubt they can be counted in to still help this laudable undertaking if you have any opinions to place before the citizens the press would welcome them war calls must come first which means that we should reduce our non essential use of the telephone to the mirumilm present facilities cannot be increased your co operation is needed if war calls are to go through promptly piease remember that the wasteful use of telephone time can hold up war business and that every second you save

sugg ested that the allies should put hitler or mussolini in a cage and ex hibit them throughout the world after the war it would not only make them suffer on account of their pride but the admissions to see them would pay off the war debt said dr mitchell now then after all these weeks since that story was reported in these columns a depatch comes out of naples by way of the british united press expressing the very same idea as being advanced by marshal badoglio whether he saw dr mitchells report in the tribune or whether it is just a case of great minds think alikewe are not sure but are

oboyles butcher shop where he was learning the trade presented himself for examination in toronto last week and is now away out west in one of the ircaf training camps the tale of a horse even in a purely mechanized war poor old dobbin still plays an impor tant role in supplying the sinews of war from his home stable pasture or paddock the hair of the tail and mane iof the horse is very much in demand by the munitions and supp- j lies board for the manufacture of a great variety of products and unfort unately the sales of this commodity have dropped off a third during the past year horse mane hair is used for war purposes as shock pads for the in side of army tanks cushions for army vehicles and mattresses for the navy it is used for making paint brushes it is very important that the farm ers and horsemen keep the hair clean also free of slrawthis saves endless hours of labour in further preparation and permits a greater production because hair that is dirty can never be fully reclaimed wm coakburn agricultural representat ive suggested that farmers keep the mane and tail hair separate as this again saves labour each kind being used for different purposes some tack up two labelled sacks in the stable for convenience and the hair is ready for the dealer when he calls the best quality comes from live horses either during the daily groom- ing or when thinning out the mane or tail but the hair should also be salvaged from all dead horsesin other words dead horses should carry no tails stanley theatre phone 100 showing oacn night at 815 saturday and holidays 700 and 900
