completed for a new high school at markham and have been submitted by the architect and we understand approved by the department of education the new school will be a most elaborate affair and will cost in the neighbor hood of 200000 or more the school board at markham has been working on the idea for some time and are now said to be ready to submit their ideas to the ratepayers the question of course will not be voted on this year since it is too late now for january elec tions but a special vote could be taken any time or it may be possi ble for the board of education to assume the responsibility without reference to the ratepayers which however is hardly likely in view of the size of the undertaking encouragement to spend 200000 exclusive of grounds is given im petus by the

dont have water freezeups if you are going away from home for several days be sure to arrange with someone to keep the home fires burning so that the pipes will not freeze up or see to it that the water pipes are properly drained if fires are allowed to go out most readers will regard this warning as quite unnecessary but in the light of what has recently happened it might prove helpful to some for instance one householder drained the system but did not drain the traps under the sink or in the bath room nor did they put coal oil in them with the result that there was dire trouble still another house holder who left town a couple of weeks ago and is still away failed to evpn shut the water off the land lord later called at the home and then reported to the authorities that he feared his tenant had not shut the water off a skeleton key was obtained and on entrance to the houseit was found that the worst fearsof the landlordwere well founded the lady had gone away without any thought about things freezing up with the result that the whole system was well frozen the water was at once shut off at the street lineand what kind of a plumb ing job will have to be doneinside is not yet known the house is a small one and vulnerable to the cold since it is a rather light frame there is a shutoff in the basement of every homejand this is not diffi- as most people know is not

mail carriers have been paid under the authority of the war measures act where the carrier establishes the fact that operating costs have increased due to condi tions which could not have been foreseen when he entered into his contract with the end of the war measures act these wartime bonuses must cease but provisions will be made to invite public tenders in each case where the carrier is not satisfied to continue at his original contract price since the employment situation for veterans has been described as more serious in this country with official reports indicating that at least 23000 in the latest estimates have absolutely no definite plans it should be pointed out that in this capital at is emphasized strongly that veterans are getting their full share of all civil service commis sion jobs available in canada- indeed from january 1 to october 31 of this ear a total of 7711 ex- members of the canadian armed forces had been appointed to gov ernment oosts so that practically every opening in the public is given to a veteran wherever and when ever this is possible in the latest report in ottawa it is also revealed that- predischarge interviews in october 1945 of 97436 veterans more than 54780 had definite places for employment and 42647 had to beprovided for though 50 der cent of these wouldbe taken care of by vocational and university training nlans moreover 25919 expected to be reinstated in their old jobs 3752 planned to return to their own businesses 1820 aimed to go back to their farms with 3520 men and three women indicating a desire to be established in fulltime farm ing under the veterans land act and 7403 men as well as 21 women intending to apply for small hold ings labor minister hon humphrey mitchejl has stated in ottawa that federal wage control and collective bargaining legislation will be con tinued for a considerable period hinting that as far as can be seen into the future these will have to be continued though he did add that this period may be a year may be less or more than a year then he proceeded fo suggest that the war measures relating to col lective bargaining and wage con trol as part of the whole price con trol machinery are integrated matters in canada with govern ment policy being to continue these war labour measures until some future date they can be discontinu ed without the risk of contributing to inflation farmers to do a certain thing they are an indication of what we hope and expect the farmers will do noticeably lacking is any mention of a program to encourage planting this additional 30000 acres com mented a beet growers official who added the goal is fine but impos sible under the present govern mental sugar policy canada has factory capacity sufficient to process products of 100000 acres so a goal of 90000 is feasible if an incentive program is followed similar to that of the two other partners of the allied sugar pool this year a record crop in al berta taxed the capacity of the two sugar factories so the expected increase of 3j000 acres must come from manitoba ontario and quebec each of these claim to be suffering from handicaps that can be removed only by a federal policy of genuine encouragement difficulties are the competion of heavily subsidized crops a refined sugar price ceiling pegged too low and the misplace ment of skilled field labor agnews
