the tribune stouffville ont thursday july 25 1946 longest main st in america says a reporter in bowmanville statesman last sunday with the current heat wave unabated the editor of the bowmanville statesman told his farm reporter by all means accept tle invitation of mr and mrs geo c foster glenn lara bowmanville and take a motor tour across the unparalleled farming countryside of old ontario and so the party was arranged with miss vivian foster driving the car miss helen foster the luncheon hostess mrs foster chaperon and mentor mr william- j son a practical farm expert and the dumb reporter a willing acolyte j skeptically wondering what it was all about with patricia the family boston terrier in the same frame of mind the trip was made it be came a fivehour lour which in ranee of knowledge was a revelation of what this district of canada has to offer in enterprise and specializ ed production we left the fringe of the famous apple orchards of durham county and its growing tobacco plantations to angle west and north throughout the mixed farming districts and revel in the scenery of a famous countryside the destination it may be told was the famous gold fish farms somewhere in the neigh borhood of stouffville ont before the trip was over we found that hereabouts was the banana belt of canada and a lot more than that we saw ontario in miniature as the greatest farming country of the en tire globe going west from hampton the southern extremity of the famed enniskillen potato district we came into the dairy and shorthorn coun try on the left was the great graz ing herd of werry holtein at solina right next door is baker farms and shorthorns farther west came beath farms oshawa hay mc laughlins famous holsteins maple shade farms of bill and john dry- den oldest shorthorn plant in america then russ richardson john miller art howden all short horn notables and frank batty clydesdale w d thompson jer- eys and on and on among famed livestock only half the picture that was the scene between the aole orchards and the lemons and dates found a few miles further on all of which is a story by it self angling west was found evi dence of the foresight of early pion eers they cut the forests but they replanted maples evergreens hed ges that endure today as a land scape of surpassing beauty wood- lots have been preserved the roads have been gravelled the whole vast scene today is one that is bringing millions of americans as holiday- visitors with immense wealth to en joy a cool clear inspiring holiday in the green expanse so magnifi cently preserved not so far beyond we came to one of canadas real small townsstoutl- ville home of a repeating prize- winning weekly paper the stouff ville tribune a small town with the longest main street in america a town of fine and friendly homes a town to live in and to pass on in happiness at the end of ones career shady and serene it opened the door to an amazing panorama just a short distance beyond just one and a quarter miles west we came to the hamlet of ringwood where roy grove the corner storekeeper and mrs grove were found in their garden their home was designat ed on a sign rose lawn here on an all to brief visit we saw this two date palms raised from seed that bear fruit yearly one lemon tree that has for 30 years yielded a crop and last year bore a single lemon weighing one pound and 12 ounces the source of many homemade lemon pies and a grape fruit tree almost ready to yield its quota in the land that kiling described as our lady of the snows and just a bit apart amidst a profusion of roses in full bloom were ripe tomatoes on the vine that have been served on the able for the past two weeks but that was not all believe it or not there was a fig tree with small figs formed and waiting for the late fall sunlight this report is entirely accurate here just 25 miles- out of toronto for all to see if they care to motor along is the evidence as it has been told above then we went on just a mile north to see the famed gold fish farms of the goldfish supply co stouffville ont which we read about in macleans magazine about a year ago there they were in a level area of 15 acres which were gouged out into some 52 separate ponds fed freshly by piped spring vater millions of goldfish that are shipped annually from a heated plant in the village all across this country and elsewhere the place is entirely open to those who wish to wander through and see the ponds with their beauteous water lilies in bloom the carmined lazy inhabitants let the child use his left hand to the righthanded person the deftness with which the lefthanded manages all his manual skills is nothing short of amazing the left- handed on the contrary feels no handicap whatever unless he is compelled by a righthanded society to use the tools for eating or for work that are designed for right- handed persons we should not look upon the left- handed as less able than the right handed we make him less able only if we force him to change from his natural hand to the one which seems proper for us mrs f j wonders if training the child to use the right hand is the proper way to manage this when the child first begins to use the left hand absolutely not this is what should not be done all babies use left or right hands indiscriminately eventually they begin to show a preference for one or the other hand the child doesnt favor the ierteiiand because he wants to be unique and different but only be cause the messages from his brain direct the use of the left hand one might express it by saying the shortest road between the brain and the hand which carries out its messages is in most persons from the left hemisphere of the brain to the right hand hut in a small min ority of persons it is from the right hemisphere to the left hand to re route these impulses makes for a timewasteful a situation as if a car were sent pellmell down one straight road and then had to come back and bo sent down another in studies on stammering it has been confirmed that forcing nat urally lefthanded children to use the right hand for such fine muscu lar movements as writing cutting sewing etc have developed halting speech and stammering because of such knowledge it is the consenus that the lefthanded person should be allowed to use his preferential hand without any effort being made to humiliate or wheeled him into trying to be right handed ottawa letter by jack smith mp north york prime minister king soon will measure of equalitv to the taxation leave to attend the peace confer- of business it was a difficult prob- ence at paris on july 20th mr kingjlem but the general feeling here is does not like the thought of leaving that once again mr ilslev has dealt before the session ends but the importance of this conference gives him no choice in the matter world affairs are in a troubled state and the hope of enduring peace is a peace conference at which the nations of the world can get to gether in the true spirit of brother hood and understanding mr kings long experience in public affairs and his qualities of leadership par ticularly fit him to make a very special contribution to this all- important conference the debate on the budget con unties here and main criticism of opposition is that more economics should be offered to reduce expen ditures unfortunately much of the criticism is of a very general nature and is not as effective as if it were more specific that is it is a sort of wasteful pastime to deplore expen ditures without being definite enough to say just what expendi tures you would cut just what government services you would curtail there has been some complaint of the move to tax cooperatives but in the main the change will receive pretty general support this has been a contentious question since the early thirties and the budget proposals are pretty well the same at the recommendations of the with a very difficult situation in a very able manner prime minister king this week said that canada intends to retain her price rent anil rationing con trols regardless of the united states action of abandoning similar war- imposed regulations in that coun try at the same time mr king ob served that development affecting prices in the united states were not without their effect upon canada and stressed that canadian policies as in the past would necessarily continue to have such developments in mind the finance minister announced this week that the department is taking steps to have the copper- coloured fivecent pieces withdrawn from circulation it will take some time to do this as the actual with drawal will have to be made by the chartered banks it is hoped how ever that these coins which are so easily confused
