the tribune stouffville ont thursday august 1 1946 bp tnuffmlu urtbimp established 1888 member of the canadian weekly newspaper association and ontario quebec newspapers association issued every thursday at stouffyille ontario subscription rates per year in advance in canada 200 in usa 250 a- v nolan so publishers notes and comments how about some incentive we are not sure that a peacetime budget instead of practically a full measure wartime budget again would have done much to cure the unwillingness of people to work for the tragic situation is that people or many of them do not want to work never was there a time when so many jobs were available and the plain fact is that the young man who stands around complaining that he cannot get a job simplv is not verv keen on work the financial post blames mr ilsley for bringing down another wartime budget instead of relieving taxation claiming that workers will not labor overtime when the government simply steps in and takes the monev out of their pockets the post may be right but that is only part of the trouble there is a definite unwillingness for many young fellows to work unless they can get just the kind of job they think they would like the post says in part this is the tragic situation which exists never before was there so much work to get done and never before was there less willingless to do it we sit in a sea of shortages and yet millions of hours are lost in agitations about work ing conditions in strikes and just plain lack of willingness to work because of the lack of production prices are climbing and our incomes are being reduced yet the people who have the most to lose from this inflation the people who have most to gain by fighting back with a torrent of pro duction are being encouraged to take things easy languages it is astounding to learn that today men use some 3500 languages and dialets here is a note we allied there are 800 separate modes of speech in africa 130 in india 97 in the philippine islands 46 in europe and 42 languages are heard on the streets of jerusalem the growth of the english language is remarkable a hundred years ago we were told that it was spoken by 20000000 people today it is the language of 250000000 and with 60000000 who are able to use it sufficiently for business purposes some believe that english bids fair to become the universal speech those papers that litter the streets it is hoped that before another summer is upon us something will be done in stouffville regarding the habit that is steadily growing of throwing paper and candy cartons on the street for someone else to pick up children cannot be blamed because their elders do the same thing few even go to the trouble to walk to the curb with a real sticky paper it might help a lot if the merchants or the council placed suitable metal containers at strategic points in the business area with wording on the container imploring everybody to help keep the town clean it would be a very nice gesture on the part of any merchant who wishes to help keep the street clean in this way to place his own container and perhaps have the firm name on it the advertising would not do the doner any harm and the accommodation would be a worthwhile effort in helping to keep stouffville streets tidy and attractive above all this the teaching of children not to litter the thoroughfare with paper is worthwhile in itself the lesson of tidyness is timely hoodlums at dance halls timesgazette whitby there will be general satisfaction with the serious view taken by york county magistrate o m martin in dealing with the cases of ten youths and young men who were found guilty of an aggravated form of rowdyism at a dance hall at wilcox lake the principal charge was one of obstructing the police and unfortunately the evidence showed that a fair percentage of onlookers took sides with the rough necks and against the police fines totalling 870 were imposed with alternative jail sentences unfortunately three of the accused are returned men said the magistrate i have sympathy with returned servicemen but nevertheless they must learn to behave and they cant let their service in the forces excuse them for their conduct in this despicable affair i hope the penalties i impose will make you realize the law must be obeyed and that obstructing police officers fc a serious offence obstructing police officers is indeed a serious offence and there is far too much of it in and around dance halls where a spirit of bravado seems to get into a certain type of individual who think they are a law unto themselves attlee appeals for spiritual leadership prime minister attlee speaking at the annual assembly of the church of scotland recently ventured to deliver a little sermon to the ministers of that body on the need for spiritual leadership he spoke in these words no social system will bring us happiness health and prosperity unless it is inspired by something greater than materialism the world today has need of spiritual leader ship whatever the difference between the various churches they are as one in holding before mankind absolute values in setting standards of conduct beyond that of selfinterest of the individual the group or the nation coming from the head of a labor government which came to power by promising to set up a social system that was to bring happiness health and prosperity to the people by materialistic means this appeal for spiritual leadership and its admission of the futility of social system to ensure human welfare is impressive new respect for price control one has gained a new resject for price control in canada the past month as we witness what was going on in the us where the lid was lifted and prices soared so high that many people on fixed incomes were embarassed to make financial ends meet as usual farm prices were slow to rise while over night manufactured goods skyrocketed- with the rush for commodities such as butter and meat which were freed from rationing one just couldnt buy either in detroit for days on end and fair distribution was gone even to buy a loaf of bread one had to stand in line from 730 in the morning for long enough we were informed by us visitors in stouffville the exhibition our us cousins are putting on should serve as a warning of what could happen in canada if con trols and rationing were done away with too soon indeed we all should heartily support ceilings until the present crisis is over and that will be a year to two perhaps our capital correspondent hour with the remark that claims have been made that this in effect had thrown collective bargaining out of the window- the aim of the committee is to try to have adopted a general wage pattern that will be satisfactory to all

that no matter how many hours a day the house sits it will still be a matter not of clays but of weeks before we can get through the work that remains to be done giving it that care which it is necessary in the public interest that it should receive with only one dissenting voice being heard the senate has adopted the report of the committee on natural resources recommending taxation changes to encourage gojd mining in canada it has been made known in ottawa that the canadian passport office has been authorized to issue passports for any country though there is a condition that the person

difficulties in matters of transpor tation the dominion superintendent of insurance gdfinlayson has in formed the banking committee of parliament that fire and casualty insurance was a hazardous

give them the authority to reduce the par value of their stock to 10 a share the par value of the indemnity company is 100 and the other company 50 mr finlayson opposed such powers as stated and said

1910 federal features syndicate it must be reported at this time that the operations of the industrial relations committee of parliament have aroused considerable interest on parliament hill on account of the widespread labor unrest across this country now and its possibili ties with its activities in connection with the steel strike causing much comment in circles backstage since the continuation of this strike after the government had taken over was interpreted as a sort of strike against the government or state meanwhile it is to be noted that the canadian director of the united steehvorkers of america cio chmillard in testifying in ottawa declared in part until this labor disputes he was referr ing to the governments attitude in limiting increases to 10 cents an uncle hy
