the tribune stouflviile ont thursday may 30 1946 ize tauffmu erihunr 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 disadvantage of school areas stronglv opposed to any scheme to establish a central high school to serve georgetown milton and two adjacent townships the georgetown herald made a timely comment on the situation that the dept of education is trying to force on the people of ontario respecting the loss the new scheme would be to the community life of any district where a school is wiped out the herald continues there is a certain advantage in the idea in that more courses could be offered and a student would have a chance at a broader high school education other than this we can see no particular reason for the change and the dis advantages more than take care of this for one thing we feel a central school would destroy to a large extent that school spirit which is such an integral part of high school life the friendly rivalry be tween neighbouring towns the loyalty to ghs humble as it may be are things which do as much to shape char acter as the academic courses themselves this is some thing precious which a small town high school possesses in large degree joupled with this is the fact that all children of high school age in the county would be absent from their homes for the greater part of the day eight ociock in the morning to six oclock t night we would judge which would deprive them of a certain amount of home life so necessary during their formative years- again we would be exchanging the personalized instruction given by resi dents of the community for the more impersonal teaching oi a staff who would see the children only during school hours and who would know nothing of their after- school environ ment newmarket era doesnt agree editor of the newmarket era says like it or not quebec has some right too and continues to comment on a tribune editorial of recent date canada should have only one official language english according to the editor of the stouffville tribune what drew the sparks from mr a v nolans pen was mr john brackens criticism of the governorgenerals address for its lack of french when he mr bracken ov any other man gets up in canada and says some language should be used other than english it will always draw a protest from this paper says mr nolan in mr nolans opinion english should be taught to every school child and english should be the official lang uage of canada the french language has been forced upon us too much now by the king government says mr nolan indignantly of course the king government has been in office a long longtime and our contemporary may be pardoned in thinking that it dates as far back as the 18th century when quebeckers were granted the right of lang uage law and religion we fear however the king govern ment can only beblamed for continuing to acknowledge the rights of a minority under law we agree with mr nolan that mr brackens protest appeared more of a political gesture than anything else yet he had good grounds for it their majesties saw fit to make some of thier remarks in french during their visit here and it is only fitting that their representative the governor- general should follow suit there are numerous disadvantages to having two official languages for canada the language barrier has been the largest single difficulty m bringing about a better under standing in canada since the rights of the quebec minority are guaranteed under law and by the principles of democ racy the cure it seems to us is in a more efficient teaching of the french language the continuance of french language and custom in quebec is both the weakness and strength of our nation the weakness is obvious in the wide divergence of opinion and belief where there should be unity and single purpose the strength is in the fact that two peoples of different backgrounds have together created a nation of such magni tude- in canada there is an example of tolerance and demo cratic belief for all the world whether the editor of the stouffville tribune and his readers who complimented him on his stand like it or not the french in quebec are an essential part of canada isnt it about time we accepted the fact and acted in a manner to produce better understanding than to continue to squabble among ourselves stouffville will be out mr- gordon duffin an employee in the department of education is the authority for the statement that stouff ville will be out when the new school areas are finally in good running order mr duffin made this statement to an official of pickering township who was trying to make up his mind about the question of placing a portion of that municipality in the stouffville school area when he spoke in stouffville mr duffin declared in answer to a question that stouffville high school would never be closed without a request of the ratepayers for such closure his later statement could only mean that stouffville will be frozen out by being given such a small area as to make it a poor school and a financial impossibility when mr duffin or some other stranger to us comes along with such demaging remarks it is time he was taken to task first of all our board of education should protest his statement to the minister under whom he is employed and secondly they should let the minister know that stouff ville will never tolerate the loss of the towns school be cause it is an essential part of the community and district which it serves we are not worried about the statement made by mr duffin becoming a fact because it is the people and not mr duffin who will close the school but we are concerned when departmental heads come out and make declarations that are calculated to do harm to a school that is necessary and in this instance located in a district which the speaker has very little knowledge and therefore is not in a position to speak intelligently about seed crops when the war cut off european sources of various seeds federal and provincial authorities encouraged the production of seed crops with the result that this industry has expanded tremendously in this country according to the canada year book the production of hay and pasture seeds which in 1944 totalled 57776200 pounds had a farm value of 8317100 the value of these crops showed an 18 per cent increase over the value of 1943 and an increase of 137 per cent over the 1942 value while there are 15 kinds of seed included in this classification about 95 per cent of the total value in 1944 was accounted for by alfalfa alsike clover red clover sweet clover timothy and brome grass ontario led in 1944 with a total production of 16690000 pounds having a value of 2500000 the production of vegetables seeds which in 1944 was valued at 2763000 has developed very rapidly since 1939 because of favorable soil and climatic conditions in british columbia the main producing areas are located in that province however all other provinces have made con tributions some conception of the rapidity of the expan sion of this industry will be gained when it is considered that in 1938 there were only 16 growers in british columbia and by 1941 the number had jumped to 200 this is more surprising when the very specialized nature of these crops is considered cover the whole sky but just some one area of it as soon

josh hadnt been able to get down to practical matters she kept mutter ing that it took a stranger to point out the beauty of our place of course i still dont see whats beautiful about our farm to me it just looks like a place that takes a lot of work but you cant tell that to mrs josh all because an artist from the city stumbled onto our place and painted the farm i asked the artist why he came here and he said that he wanted to get away from the noise of the city ne wanted to get back to nature it was the best way to get close to god what was more he wanted to stay at some outoftheway place and our farm certainly is that then he asked if id mind if he painted our potato field he said that he loved the warm colouring of the orangeyellow or yelloworange of the potato plants i told him to go right ahead since that wns what he wanted to do out of a knapsack he took some brushes paints a palette tnd a small canvas then he got to work he asked whether we could put him up for a few days

plants oats corn and all the rest after he left mrs josh kept up the artists line of talk how beauti ful this was and hoiv i didnt appreciate the warmth of that colour the trouble with us she said was that we were too close to all this to really be able to see it- 1 her head was up in the clouds nd i was sorry that i had to bring her eiown to earth agn because one of our cows had developed a hard
