lace and nothing could be done to prevent it from wearing off often the tips pulled off and the lace was a nightmare for the user because it frayed so today the manufacturers uses a plastic called pyralin which comes colored and is easily cemented to the lace it is an invention in shoe lace manufacturing that is likely to be permanent all that remains to be said now about shoe laces is that we have given our readers a great lacing over a compara tively simple commodity that we give little thought to our village bylaw it took an application for a pool table to be made to bring to the attention of the town council in stouffville that there was no limit placed on the number of licenses or the number of tables that might operate here while the council lost no time in bringing down a bylaw that would govern these things the community has done without the protection of the law for twenty years had no application been made for an additional license for the next twenty no one would have been the wiser about the matter however the request from the village inn for a license brought the matter to light a similar situation may be said to exist in respect to the regulation of motor traffic because one or two people continually leave trucks parked for hours and even days at a time on main street and show no interest whatever in the welfare of other people the council must pass a bylaw limiting the time trucks may be parked alongside the curb it is well that the town bylaws be scrutinized now and again with outdated ones being modernized and unnecess ary bylaws eliminated for instance we have one in force that requires motorists to stop cars shut down the engine and lead an oncoming horse by the car that was ok 35 years ago but it appears like a joke today such a bylaw should be repealed even a shoe string can be interesting merchants are often heard to say they have nothing to advertise and they may be telling the truth but all of them have a story to tell it may be about the simplest commo dity on the shelf lehmans shoe store and a e weldon are the two shoe merchants in stouffville and the main sel lers of shoe laces although other stores do sell them too none of them depend on a shoe string but those little lengths of plain or mercerized cotton or rayon which makes for walking comfort and which are almost completely ignor ed accessories until they fail to see eye to eye with their owners shoes and have to be replaced we recall writing an adv once for a merchant in which we were to feature shoe laces and the heading was always carry a spare of course everybody read it no one knows how many pairs are manufactured in can ada in a year but if a plant turns out a million and a half you can count the number of manufacturers on your two hands so fair compilations can be reached since the war about 20 colors and odd length laces have been llliminated but to get our feet on the ground again it may be inter esting to point out that cheap laces are made from plain cotton with mercerized cotton next and rayon in the highest price bracket no local dealers could offer you silk laces just now but shortly they may sell them since a quebec firm is stocking nnylon yarn for the purpose if ormsby lehman was giving a sales talk on shoe laces he might tell you about the modern lace for which the war is largely responsible we mean the elimination of the metal tip metal tips require painting to the color of the realism about russia colliers magazine recently came out with some sobering facts about russia all dealing with the hard side we pass them on to our readers and ask them to say to themselves if all these things are facts against russia why do its teeming millions fight like fiends to preserve for themselves this way of life which the magazine writer would picture as anything but a bed of roses here is the article russia has no freedom of speech or of press you talk and think as the government wishes you to or else all the newspapers magazines bookpublishing houses and radio stations are owned by the government and naturally they sing stalins song exclusively it remains to be seen how sincere have been stalins recent gestures at restoring a measure of religious freedom in russia tlje secret police once the ogpu now the nkvd are still actively at work in russia and there are still large and reportedly brutal concentration camps open to receive lots of guests one recent estimate puts the number of prison ers now in these holes at ten to twelve million russias red army shows more and more signs of be coming an oldtime regulation european army in the tradi tion of frederick the great or napoleon bonaparte with the best modern weapons and plenty of them gone are the soldier debates as to whether to obey an order there is nothing to be gained now or later and much may be lost by developing an ostrich attitude towards russia the sooner we face facts the more chance there will be of real and permanent peace after the war there is and should be tremendous admiration for the fight being waged by the russians they have shortened the war by years may well indeed have decided the final outcome but this should not blind us to the fact that their system is not what most canadians americans or bri tons want if the russians prefer theirs to our way of living that is their business the important thing for us to remember in our dealings with moscow is that we are up against hard boiled realism the russians want from us not hero worship but practical cooperation securities commissioner makes the rackateer pay back under present securities administration in ontario great emphasis is laid on restitution that is people who feel they have had a raw deal from a stock salesmanmay have the help of the securities commission in getting their money back unfortunately this policy restitution often proves to be a means whereby the stock pirate may evade the penalty of the law and is able to continue his extremely profitable depredations on the public all across canada for the sharepushing firm interested in selling shares at high profit and with few or with no scruples on how its salesmen do it restitution has become a safety valve which allows not only continuation of selling by mispresen- tation but also retention of most of the gains if only one out of every five victims seeks redress and the money has to be given back share pushing is still an ex tremely profitable business the safest way is to have no dealings with strangers and never give them any money or bonds in any deal whatever before telling your banker or some friend who can talk the matter over with you intelligently if the stranger wont wait for the investigation its because it wont bear the light me old hometown by

telephone 7001 7002 hitlers dream theies a lumoi now cuncnt though strange it may seem ot hen hitlei and his most wonderful dream being tired of wai he lay down in bed and among other things he dreamt he was dead in his deep coffin all lying in state his cold waxen features all frozen with hate he hadnt been dead long when he found to his cost that his tickets and passport to the next world was lost so leaving this eaith to heaven went straight doing the goosestep right up to the gate but the lookout angel in a voice strong and clear said begone adolt hitler we dont want you here well said adolf thats ery uncivil i suppose that means i must go to the devil so he turned on his heel and off he did go goosestepping full speed to the regions below he got half way down and turning quite yellow he saw chamberlain going up with his old umbrella a mile further down as near as he could judge it he saw simon going up waving his budget ai riving at hell he was filled with dismay for while waiting outside he heard old nick say now boys i give you all warning im expecting hitter down here this morning but dont let him in for to me its quite clear we are far too good for that mongrel down here oh satan my friend poor adolf cried excuse for listening while waiting outside if you dont let me in where can i go well said the devil i really dont know oh please let me in out ot the cold if its money you want ive lots of ceck gold no said the devil certainly not we dont reserve places for rich or for poor but here are some matches and powdered sulphur make a hell for yourself you despicable old cur so he kicked hitlers bind parts as he vanished in smoke and just at the moment herr hitler awoke he sat up in bed in a terrible sweat and said ach himmel that dream ill never forget i wont go to heaven i know very well but its darned hard lines to be kicked out of hell by a soldier in england editors mail stop sunday speeders stouffville ontauo jan 16 1944 the tnbune stouffville v dear editor i have no quanel to pick with the constable of this town but it would seem especially to those living on the main street that a little tighten ing ot speed legulatlons wouldnt be a bad idea with fine weathei which has pre vailed on the sabbath day throughout the winter our main thoroughfare is turned into a veiitable racetrack each sunday afternoon this past sunday was a good example many people were out enjoying the fine weathei and there were numerous small children playing about too their lives were constantly in dan ger if they stopped off the curb as theie was a steady stream of cars racing up and down thiough town at most excessive rates ot speed it has become a favouiite pastime especially tor young men from the country to come to town on sunday afternoons and race back and forth through town at 40 and 50 miles an hour endangering both their own lives and those ot any others who chanced in their way i understand that last summer seveial of these fellows who seemed to have so little to occupy their time were taken to task by the law but it would seem that it is certainly not time yet to ease the pressure gas is scarce tires are precious main street is no racetrack and our churches are not crowded are all points which combined should be enough to have these reckless sun day drivers curbed while im not a religious crank nor a killjoy i cer office

telephone service day and night when animates ohoke veterinary authorities have issued a caution not to attempt to pour medicine or oil down the throat ot an animal which becomes choked they point out that the principal cause of choking is a spasm of the gullet muscles somewhat like the cramps which occurs in a swimmers leg the condition is generally re lieved by a veterinarian injecting an antispasmodic which causes the muscles of the gullet to relax so the animal can swaliow normally again it is also pointed out that if choke is allowed to continue too long it may cause cattle to bloat so prompt corrective measures are always de sirable talnly think this consistent speeding should be nipped in the bud and i believe that i express the sentiments ot all other main street residents i
