the tribune stouffville ont thursday october 3 1946 established 1888 member of the canadian weekly newspaper association and ontario quebec newspapers association issued everj thursday at stouffville ontario subscription rates per ye2r in advance in canada 3200 in usa 250 a- v nolan son publishers notes and comments longest milk route what is probably the longest milk route in the world has been established on the alaska highway milk from farms around tupper creek bc is hauled 1200 miles in refrigerator trucks for delivery at yukon points deliveries may not be as punctual as on city routes says the edmon ton journal but day and night hauls bring milk into the area regularly farmers in the sudeten colony at tupper creek who were settled there several years ago by the department of immigration and colonization of the canadian pacific rail way have gone into dairying their market is a long way north but whitehorse residents buy the milk at 25 cents a quart the trucks also haul meat and vegetables along the alaska highway some vegetables from the united states go north from dawson creek by truck food is said to be plentiful along the highway as can adian army supplies are generous and civilian rationing is not strictly imposed at these northern points plowing by radar the plowman no longer need plod his weary way home if plowing by radar proves feasible apparently experiments in that field are pointing to success according to the united kingdom information office a controlled tractor operating exactly as if operated manually has been plowing wheat fields in britain recently the tractor is the ordinary small type fitted with an apparatus used for controlling pilotless planes it was used to plow a 14acre field in southern england in one corner of the field stood the transmitting van the tractor was pushed into position and then began to move by itself it plowed ten furrows each 65 feet long in ten minutes left and right turns were made perfectly this experiment was the result of considerable radar research which has been carried out by the royal aeronautical establishment at farnborough kent the article concludes by saying plowing by radio control will if generally adopted mean a tremendous saving in manpower since one skilled operator can guide six trac tors simultaneously thus the machine continues to replace man and beast and the sad part of it is that it tends to step up plowing to the modern tempo however many of us are oldfashioned enough to believe that good plowing cannot be done in a hurry 8 out of 10 canadians said yes early this year the canadian government asked the people of the dominion if they were interested in the con tinuance of the governmentsponsored savings plan which was so successful in the case of victory bonds and war savings certificates during the war the response was over whelmingly in favor of such a plan in fact 82 of the people asked said yes because of this demand the minister of finance has announced that the government will make an offer of bonds starting october 14th they will be known as canada savings bonds and will be available through banks invest ment dealers and plant payroll plans here are some of the interesting features about the bonds they will be available in amounts of 50 100 and 1000 at an attractive interest which will be payable annually each bond will be registered in the name of the owner and the amount that can be bought by an individual will be limited moreover the bonds will be redeemable at face value with interest at coupon rate at any chartered bank at any time now that the war is over why does the government decide to offer more bonds to the public the answer is simple it is because the government knows that widespread thrift is a good thing for the country but mainly because it is known the people of canada have wanted a continuance of this simple easy method of saving and it is simple in the past you have helped yourself to extra savings by enrolling in the commissions payroll savings plan for the purchase of war savings certificates or victory bonds now you have the opportunity to continue this good habit for another year at least we say that the buying of canada savings bonds is a profitable habit not only because the bonds will be backed by all the resources of the country but because they will give you a good return for your investment and what is more you will be able to get your money back at any time without any fuss so carry on the good work for yourself and your family its smart to be thrifty so when the call comes be ready and make sure you get your share of the new canada savings bonds good neighbors it is a healthy sign and something far more precious than the dollar sign that so many americans are visiting canada and so many of our citizens are going over the line to visit in the united states our relations with our american cousins have never been more cordial and as we mix and mingle more and more even greater understanding between the two peoples must result it is regrettable that other neighboring nations cannot get along as well as we do with our friends to the south perhaps they could if they had a common language which is another point in favour of our demand for basic english across canada bogging down small industry last week we received a report from the statistical department at ottawa wanting to know how much coal was burned in the office of the tribune how much electricity and how much oil was used exclusive of lubricating oil surely all this information piling in at ottawa from across the dominion must be keeping thousands of people at work for no justifiable purpose the amount of coal consumed at the tribune office cannot be helpful to anyone to know the amount of coal consumed in stouffville if it is necessary to know the amount could be learned by contacting a few dealers thus would three or four reports instead of hundreds of them supply the information asked for the same statistical dept wants to know how much job printing was done by the tribune which may or may not be a fair question but when they asked us how much of the total printing was of tickets wedding announcements posters books bill heads surely it is going a bit too far small business concerns do not have time to keep the minute details asked by statistical dept and in any case there are other means whereby the amount of stock con sumed in the thousands of small plants can be obtained by taking wholesale statements fewer reports would be going to ottawa and fewer people would be required to handle them something should be done to put a stop to ottawa bogg ing down the smaller industry of canada in the way we have referred to department of labor statistical dept unem ployment insurance national defense and a few other de partments built up in recent years are demanding of small industry that which they have not time to prepare and thus do they become a hindrance to the welfare of the country instead of a help halloween night is in sight halloween night falls on october 31 clubs and group church organizations etc who plan to entertain the young people on that evening do something worthwhile it is one night in the year when young folk seem to demand a crazy fling and the more older people occupy their time the less time is left for making trouble across ontario there have been some fatal accidents almost every year caused by a foolish act of some young person it may be only pushing out of place a pair of steps or some other seemingly funny trick

many a car owner still waiting in vain for a new auto is being continually surprised by the endurance of the old one before the war 40000 was considered to be pretty high mileage on an automobile and when that figure was reached on- the mileage dial most owners were in the market for a new one today 100000 is not exceptional mileage for an auto of prewar vintage and vehicles that have travelled that much and more are still going strong of course such cars have to be checked often and closely for safety reasons our car operated by the tribune has travelled 90000 and has yet to leave us stranded on the road how ever more money is paid out for repairs novel sentence too long charged with manslaughter in connection with the death of a young mother arising out of an automobile accident in arizona the man found guilty of the crime was ordered to turn over ten per cent of every pay cheque for the keep of the two orphan children left until they are 21 the sentence was novel and yet it is just- those children under 3 years old have been given a handicap that no one can replace and the best that can be done is to aid them financially it is one thing to hand out a sentence of this kind another thing to enforce it failure to pay would necessitate bringing the guilty man before a court so many times that those concerned in seeing that the judgment is fulfilled might become lax we cannot see the wisdom in dragging out the sentence for so many years if financially able the fine should be collected in one sum dragging out the payments might result in the one who has to pay losing heart and so make no effort to earn a living himself after some years the payment would become just like a tax that is likely to be evaded the old home town by stanley our capital correspondent with

maintained by the county through taxation and thereby supported by every property owner in the county will conduct a cam paign commencing october 7th to raise funds for the furtherance of this charitable work in caring for neglected and homeless children of which the york county childrens aid society has under its care at this time no less than 2000 a quick glance at the growth of this society will reveal the necessity for augmented funds over what are provided through taxation every one knows due to war conditions not only have costs increased but the number of neglected children has mounted more homes have been broken than every before and greater numbers of little tots have been left on the doorstep for the society to pick up as a christian people and as a nation we cannot afford to turn our backs on this young generation to whom we fall heir if we fail to do our duty these youngsters might some day over flow our jails and other correcting institutions and so the problem has to be faced now york county childrens aid society is an organization of which we are justly proud in this county stouffville is an important centre in the county and we must do our part to support this our largest charitable organization in the municipality if every home would give just one dollar the campaign would bo a grand success and would provide the funds to make up the difference between the sum received from the county through taxation and the amount really needed to carry on the work efficiently many children from york county childrens aid are placed in homes
