the tribune stouffville ont thursday may 3 946 ir touffmlu urtbimp established 1888 member of the canadian weekly newspaper association and ontario quebec newspapers association issued every thursday at stouffville ontario subscription rates per year in advance in canada 200 in usa s2o0 a- v nolan so publishers notes and comments worst tax sufferers the real hardship of a tax is not what the individual pavs although that can be a headache in any bracket it is what is left after his taxes are paid the wav the income tax law works out the taxpayer in the upper bracket does not suffer too much even though he may pay much more in taxes than the average man makes in total salary when the government gets around to cutting taxes if that dav ever comes the first people who should get some relief are those in the lower and medium income groups gait reporter- taxes point upward taxes may be advanced somewhat this year in towns like stouffville where a sharp drop was given last year due to being relieved of some of the school costs higher salaries and mounting costs all along the line for maintenance of the schools is the reason of increased costs over last year even if the grants are the same as in 1945 then too costs of all services in the town are on the increase and with the opening of new sections the growth must be serviced by water and light and eventually side walks all of which make for increased taxes to take care of the expansion somehow possibly when the services are paid for taxpayers will benefit from the new places in our midst the alternative in stouffville to increased taxs which will not be heavy in any event would be to issue deben tures when sidewalks are laid which plan should be avoided if possible as the walks are usually worn out or badly broken before they are paid for roads in stouffville are presenting another problem- gravel and oil over the years has built up many streets with a pavement to badly rounded and full of pot holes these streets require to be scarified and heavy machinery is costly to bring in yet a certain amount must be done when machinery is available later this summer ratepayers de mand better streets and the officials are anxious to relay several this year for which they can see a reasonable amount of money available with this view we are rather favorable however it was felt that such a bylaw might not be sufficiently support ed and if only a liberal part of the cost was subscribed by voluntary subscription a bylaw for onethird of the total would have a better chance of success there is no doubt but that the attitude of the ratepayers has greatly changed in the past few years and we believe that the people are ready to shoulder the cost of a hall when the proper time comes to build- that is when labor and materials can be procured and when a contract price can be sufficiently relied on no contractor today can tell what his costs will be in the case of the veterans hall the con tractor undertook to do something that he would not norm ally do and the veterans and others were promising free help in the form of bees in order that the hall might go up at the price contracted for instead of the building situation improving it has grown more difficult and many people feel that materials just could not be obtained this year however that is not the chief cause of small donations defeating the objective by a few thousand dollars the real trouble is that a lot of people can give small donations when they have not the ready capital to donate larger amounts that is why they favor the whole cost being placed in the taxes opposed to bail for habitual offenders would submit bvlaw for total cost of hall in their canvass of the ratepayers for 10000 toward the building of a hall which is so badly needed in stouffville a great many ratepayers who said they were not financially able to contribute any effective donation expressed the opinion that the town ought to submit a bylaw for the entire cost thereby the ratepayers would pay for it over a period of years in taxes and in a way that it would not be seriously felt by any property owner officials of the vancouver trades and labor council have protested against the common practice of granting bail to professional criminals says an article in saturday night a viewpoint most everybody will agree with in doing this they have widespread support outside the legal fraternity the viewpoint of which has been given by judges boyd and sargent of the county court these two learned gentlemen advance arguments to show that the fundamental principles of british jurisprud ence presume every accused to be innocent until proved guilty and therefore entitled to bail the amount of which is fixed in accordance with the nature of the crime charged the severity of the possible punishment and the probability of conviction severe punishment rather than the refusal of bail is considererd the greater deterrent of crime charged the severity of the possible punishment and the probability of conviction severe punishment considered the greater deterrent of crime- how this is to work out if bail is skipped is not explained apparently the magistrates consider 2000 as sufficient bail for men accused of safecracking the money has not been raised in every case but it has been found for some men who have again been arrested on charges of safe cracking while temporarily at large the magistrates if so inclined may grant them bail on this second charge there are known to have been three gangs of expert safecrackers operating in vancouver recently they aver aged four jobs a week for six weeks and then ran into hard luck eight men were rounded up and the police have what they consider satisfactory evidence against them four men were captured a few minutes after the holly wood theatre safe had been blown open and 308 taken from it- they were caught with approximately that amount of money in a nearby shoe repair shop operated by one of the men there were various burglars tools under the coun ter and a large quantity of nitroglycerine hidden under the floor they tried to escape when the police arrived some of them have a record when arraigned the magistrate fixed the bail at 2000 apiece according to custom the mixing bowl by annc allan hydro horn economist hollo homemakers when i saw the twisting muddle of dirty cars in a traffic tieup on the main street recently i thought of the tangle of clothes in our laundry last week besides dirty play suits stubbornstreaked collars and grimy work clothes we had decided to wash all the woollen blankets as well as the bed linen after the line up of clothes were all moving in the breeze three blankets crashed to the ground as part of the line broke may we remind other home- makers of the policemans direc tions to send a few heavy things at a time along the line otherwise re route them to another space lets keep things in order from the beginning and sort the clothes the main idea being to deal with the cleanest things first slightly soiled articles next after that aprons dresses play suits then mens work clothes unreliable dyed materials should be done separately soak for 3 to 5 mins in strong salty water then wash in a high suds two basins if dirty and rinse quickly dry thoroughly place the garment in an old towel press out excess mois ture hang in a breeze to dry quickly or pad with a towel to dry indoors stains also complicate launder ing many are no trouble to remove when fresh but become permanent if the article is left until laundry day or put immediately into hot soapy water make a practice of removing stains as soon as pos sible be sure to shake dusty garments outdoors to get rid of loose dirt enipty and whisk out dockets and cutis hard vater is another complica tion because it is harsh hard to use hard on everything and must be specially treated before it can begin to clean clothes treat the water with washing soda borax or ammi ma dissolve the softenet first making up a strong solution and keep it in a wellcorked bottle out of reach of children use 13 bottle of crystals and fill up with water measure from the bottle exactly too much will harm fabrics too little will fail to do a good job moderately soft water requires 3 or i thsps hani water needs 5 to cbsps in 10 gallons of water now arid the soap and swish the water to create about a 3 nch suds from time to time during ihe wash- ing you win need to add more soap because suds die down i nlcss a good lather i maintained there is danger of scrummv curds form- ing on clothes fresh water is important for a good cleansing of soiled goods soften rinse water to prevent particles of soap remaining in goods which will turn yellow when iron ed use the same proportion of chemical as for the machine much depends too on the wringing when properly done the rollers press out most of the soapy wash- water but if the clothes are care lessly fed in or if pressure of wring er is loose the rinse water soon oecomes soapy all these points have a direct influence urjon the whiteness of the wash take a tip i fruit stains on white or fast- colour material usually dis appear completely if the mater ial is stretched over a bowl and boiling water poured from a height of 2 or 3 feet 2 small oil spots as a rule re spond to cornstarch or talcum powder patted on immediately the powder absorbs the oil be fore it seeps into tbj threads if this is not successful carbon tetrachloride will do the trick it is safe to use and quite effective 3 try rubbing ordinary lard thoroughly into the soots made by black grease or tar this softens the grease then it may be removed with carbon tetrachloride or a good cleaning solvent if the cloth is washable the remaining part of the stain may bo bleached out with javelle water if garment cant be laundered use 2 or 3 applica tions of solvent 1 strong ammonia water is a good solution in which to soak a rust stained garment tub question hoy miss t m asks what are the ngredients of the wollen wash we were given in the laundry class of household science course answer make a solution of 1 large bar or 9 oz of mild soap in 3 qis water when partially cool add 2 tbsps borax and 14 cup alcohol soak garment in solution tor a few mins before being laun dered in sudsy water mrs r m asks car i ciean feathered

suggesiii ns on homerrafcing problems and watch this column for replies wptb and questions answers send the tribune to absent friends q if a landlord own a cottage and furniture which is rented at the present time by the month is there anything he can do to get the tenants out the person who wants to buy the cottage is a returned air force man and he would like to live in it himself a if your tenants are well be haved tenants paying their rent regularly there is nothing you or the new owner can do to get possession of he cottage at the present time the tenants are protected under the freez ing order and while this order remains in effect you would not be able to give them notice to vacate q i was charged 35c for one pound of pork sausages and think i was overcharged i never paid higher than 29c a pound before a you were not overcharged pork sausages packed in cello phane in one pound cartons may sell for 3sc a lb and if sold in bulk for 37c a b q is there any way i can obtain another priority certificate for a new suit i was given one at the time of my discharge from the army and it was destroyed when it was left in a shirt pocket when the shirt was sent to the laundry a unfortunately there is no pro vision made for the replace ment of priority certificates which are issued to service per sonnel on discharge we are sure you will readily under stand that it would be impos sible to make such provisions we must guard against unscrupulous persons who might try to obtain more than one certificate q we bought a home in january and the former owner was sup posed to live in the house with his sister until mav 1st and pay rent to us he ha- not paid any rent since we bought the house and has now moved a wav however his sister still lives in the house without pay ing rent what can we do to get possession a it seems strange that people should expect to remain in any house without paying rent the wptb regulations do not protect tenants who are in arrears of rent under provincial law you could obtain possession of your house we would suggest that you consult a lawyer with out delay q i read aletter in th paper the other day stating that sugar was being dumped into the ocean at cuba why is this allowed when there is a sugar shortage everywhere a we too hear manv such rumours but unfortunately never with sufficient evidence to hack them up it is impos sible for us to believe that there is any sugar going to waste anywhere in the world at the present time if you have any evidence to prove the truth of such rumours we would be only too glad to pass it along to the proper authorities for in vestigation friday and saturday may 24 25th sf captain kidd c laughton tot0mitel w manpower e g robinson and marlene dietrich 40500 offer z penny 8 i mf bai 3eatvtie li latrv monday and tuesday june 3 4 wilson seldom seen that article in the tribune written by iichervey an alberta farmer was certainly appealing and last night i got the paper out to read it a second time and i hope every farmer read it at least once i are you in favor of giving the farmers a fortyhour per week this westerner wants to know in a i series of questions assuming that everybody would be in favor of a fiveday week for farmers mr hervey again asks will any one of you produce or invent a cow that can be persuaded to take a milking holiday from fri- idav afternoon at five oclock until monday morning at eight oclock i then there are the pigs and mr hervey wants to know if anyone can produce or invent a pig that will not squeal and will be perfect- lv content to do without being fed in saturday and sunday what about the hay and grain continues this perplexed farmer will someone arrange to have thej rain held back on saturday and sunday what about our boys who after years of overseas service have returned to our mixed farming areas to an eightyhour week are they to be paid for fortv hours only or are they to be paid time and a half for the other forty hours if so who is going to pay them and from what source is the money coming will a fortyhour week on the farm mean two shift will two shifts mean fifty per cnt increase in the farmers costs if so will you city boys agree to pay the farmers prices to cover this in creased cost will you pay 60c a pound for good beefooc a pound for butter 70c a pound for bacon and guarantee to take all the farm ers produce at these nrices the trouble with mr hervey is that he asks too many questions of which the above are onlv a few he knows right well that neither employers nor labor leaders can produce or invent the kind of ac commodating cow or nig he des cribes and that the mighty power wielded by a john i lewis could have no influence whatever on the weather but his other questions are by no means rhetorical he asks for instance if the costs of process ing are increased by the adoption of a fortyhour week who is goinc to stand the increased cost who is there to stand it excot the pro curer and he want to know why are we farmers o dumb as to sit still and see this developing right under our noses are the farmers going to speak up or are ihev acain mint to leave it to the it would really be too bad for city- people if the farmers were to join usual dogfight between the proces sors and the professional labor leaders ir this labor union movement for a fivedav week and it would be a national and international calamity f they were to go on strike to enforce their demands but they have just as much right to do that as the labor unions it is fortunate for the country that the average farmer is a man of common sense and is not easily led into extreme action by wild promises of some thing for nothing mr hervey concludes his letter with the following words of plain horsesense as one who has seen something of the suffering in europe i am worried as i realize that we will find ourselves in the soup unless farmers industria lists businessmen employers labor leaders in fact all of us cut e lot of this nonsense and wake up to the fact that work and work only on the part of all is the basic solution for prosperity and happi ness seldom seen sends three rousing cheers led
