thursday at stouffviller ontario subscription kates per year in advance in canada 200 in usa320 av nolan sox publishers notes and comments f see what is ahead should immediately brine his vehicle to a stop until he can see where he is going it is pure reckless ness to continue driving ahead as it is only asking for trouble we must not fail this week and next interest throughout stouffville will be centered on the red cross campaign as this is the first red cross appeal and the only such appeal in a year it is essential that the objective of3900 be reached and even exceeded by a substantial amount many professional and businessmen are giving their time to the promotion and carrying out of the campaign so let everyone else swing in behind the effort this cannot be allowed to fail due to apathy or lack of support canadian red cross is built on the expression of the generosity of the canadian people if ithas a proud record of war servicer it is because you and your neighbour- the mother of a lad in prison camp the wife of a sergeant in the frontlines your corner grocer because all of you pulling together have written that proud record the responsibilities of the red cross have increased millions of people in the liberated countries are destitute the hihgways of europe are choked with hungry home- less people they turn to the red cross as a neverfailing friend it is our privilege now to live up to that faith to help them in their urgent need are best editorials written fast not long ago we wrote an editorial that a friend didnt like since it hit his idea of things and in telling us he said i bet it didnt take you long to write that one fact is it doesnt take us long to write any editorial orcomment on this page from week to week if it toolf long it wouldnt be written with the scores of other things on our mind however why should it take one a long timejto write an editorial comment julia ward howe wrote thebattle hymn of the republic in thirty minutes j baring gould wrote onward christian soldiers in a shorter time so many good things have been well said in short time- once armed with the fact it should take no length of time to write when once the limited genius newspaper men are ex pected to display forms the idea in their mind so to think that the best copy is that which takes longest to write is not a fair measuring rod some editors may write and re write but we do not imagine that is the common rule if for no other reason than the time factor it would involve cant see stop it is noteworthy that in a number of cases in which pedestrians have been struck by motor vehicles it has been urged in defence that the driver was so blinded by the head lights of vehicles approaching from the opposite direction that he failed to see the victim in front of his machine until too jate to pull out and avoid an accident the question arises as to whether this is a valid excuse it is a fact that glaring headlights are a menace on the road and that far too few motorists observe the common courtesy of dimming their lights while others persist in driving with faulty lights there is however one cardinal rule which should be observed by everyone who uses the road the duty of the driver who- finds himself unable to let the nations avoid trade war hon walter nash of new zealand said some time ago that the first ten years of peace would be the most dang erous years in history they may be so new zealanders should have less cause to worry than the rest of us there they have removed the x of outrageous fortune in- new zealand a mans wife can have fifteen babiej and it doesnt cost him a cent in new zealand the cellar wage for farm laborer is 20 a week with certain things thrown in including a months holidays tevery year with pay we imagine a law like that in ontario would need this addition that thehired man on beginning be compelled to take over the farm make the farmer the hired man arid thus ensure him 1040 a year but the peace decade truly will be a dangerous decade for us the velvet in our national budget is the goods we sell abroad taking in each others washing is not enough and we not the ccf rather acknowledge this fact where in they would set us a trade board to do business abroad both old patties are keen on the need of exports but by hook or by crook to outdo the other fellow in world mar kets the nations must be sane about this thing sit down and reason with one another- thus avoid trade war which would lead to more bloodshed news from queens park by agnes macphail mpp mr hepburn and mr drew have not been saying mean things about each other this week but a great deal of legislation was introduced or moved one stage forward the budget is a prosperous document of course war time revenue is swollen and unnatural there will be no new provincial taxes for the comirig year fifteen million dollars of ontarios debt has been refunded in new york at one and a half per cent interest the lowest in history i wish the farmers and small business men could get credit at such low cost there was an actual surplus of 114400 after retiring some debt paying interest and all other costs the new reduction in school taxes on the owners of real estate costs the province 8808000 i am con cerned about that tax the money doesnt do- anything to improve education simply to lower the cost to the owner of the real estate and at a time real estate owners are not in anything like the need they were in the thirties had that amount of money gone- toward improving the facilities inhe poorest area of the province it would have done a lot- to equalize educational oppor tunities- as between forest hill village and haliburton shall we say w it isuniisual for speech in reply and the budget speeches to run concurrently the liberals were opposed to this but the offic ial opposition took the viewuhat money to run the province must be voted and the items should be much more carefully scrutinized than was possible in the four days allot- ed toit last year and so we sup ported the government in r its de sire to bring dowrnthe budget on march 9th the liberals were very much opposed it seems certain now that the liberals have accepted the ccf amendment but have moved a sub- amendment proposing two addit ional paragraphs criticising the government for their new religious program and for planning large scale immigration after the war their money- back as has been done sometimes in the past anyone who has been defrauded will have to go without making sure of jobs forlto court to get his money back returned men and war workers th procedure was criticized by esjolliffe kc leader of the op position he said the public needed first the fact that the liberals did not make any changes in the text of the ccf amendment is taken as evidence that they will support it thereby defeating the government the new securities act had been given second reading this is the most complicated measure of the season the attorney general mr blackwell spoke for over three hours explaining the bill during the past year there have been a flood of complaints- about stock market rackateers operating from toronto especially in the sale of mining stock and oil royalties under the new act the govern ment would not endorse any stock issue the attorney general said it will simply make sure that full and fair information is given to give the public affair run for its money in case of fraud the securities commission will no longer attempt to help people get more protection and suggested some kind of securities police force to crack down on the rackateers too often the victim of fraud would find that the rackateer had left the country when things got too hot and was out of reach of the court he said he also asked for a better guarantee that a fair share of the funds raised from the sale of min ing stocks to the public would act ually go into the development of the mines and not into the pockets of the miners on bay street on motion of mr- jolliffe the bill was referred to the legal bills committee for further study a heavy program of legislation is now before the house
