the tribune stouffville ont thursday november 21 1946 ubp ttruffmllf urtbunp established 1888 member of the canadian weekiy newspaper association and ontario quebec newspapers association member of the audit bureau of circulations average paidinadvance circulation as of aug 1st 2457 issued every thursday at stouffville ontario subscription rates per year in advance in canada 200 in usa s250 a- v nolan son publishers notes and comments approval of hall does not mean immediate building program if the citizens of stouffville vote favorably on the question of anexpenditure of 25000 for a community hall on december 9 it does not mean that the council of that day will rush into a building program the ontario munici pal board will have a hand in the matter of saying when the time is opportune to build it would be unthinkable to attempt any building program so long as costs are where they stand today further it is doubtful if a contractor could be obtained under present conditions to take any large scale contract the citizens by voting yes merely give their approval to a hall project when such an undertaking can be proceeded with under something like normal building conditions then there is always the possibility that some building might be purchased that would make a good hall in such an event it might be possible that a much smaller sum would suffice and thus the whole sum approved would not be required there is probably no town in ontario quite so badly off for hall accommodation as stouffville and the immediate district a community hall that will serve the needs of the town and district is eligible for a substantial grant from the department of agriculture aurora to vote on big issue the town of aurora will vote on a money bvlaw for raising 285000 for a new public school at the forthcoming municipal election in that town evidently there is a desperate need for school accommo dation in the yonge street centre when they have to embark on a building program of this magnitude at so inopportune a time however when children simply cannot be accommodated with class rooms something desperate has to be done for schools building costs are 25000 per room an authority at queens park informed us subsidies are out for good if folks would see all the toil behind the production of a quart of milk there would not be so much grumbling across the country because of the price we do not know of any other beverage or drink that contains anything like the same food value that sells for less than a glass of milk probably the method of distribution could be improved and of so it could not decrease the cost more than perhaps a cent a quart householders have become so convinced that milk is dear that they insist the government continue to pay the wartime subsidy on milk if a subsidy on milk why not on meat bread and perhaps some other food stuffs we cannot get along without if there ever was a time when the average householder is able to pay for his own food it is now subsidies it seems are one work that belong to national emergency in war days and ought not to be continued how are governments going to decrease taxation if they maintain subsidies runn ing into many millions it is high time the agitation for a handout on the glass of milk was ended and the people face the fact that milk is going to cost real money because it takes real work to pro duce and the government should have no hand in the business of buying it reforestation absolutely essential from the cradle to the grave we are never out of touch with trees said john f clark field man for the ontario department of agriculture as he pictured for whitby kinsmen at their meeting last week the importance of trees in the economic wellbeing of all mankind mr clark touched briefly on the products and by products of the forests and our dependence on a continued harvest of this year the most adaptable of all raw material the shortage of wood he said is the chief bottleneck retarding our building program erosion of the soil- and the loss of valuable revenue continued the speaker may be traced to the removal of forests and the absence of a reforestation program jvtr clark could not understand the lack of foresight in a farmer who would log off his woodlot allow cattle to pasture there and neglect to replace the trees removed pictured beauty of landscape with trees and the naked unattractive barrens where trees had been removed gsrve point to the speakers plea for continued care of our forests and woodlots gulleys gouged by freshets were picture evidence of the destruction of some of our most valuable farmland all due to the careless removal of trees do snakes suck cows we recall printing a report about a snake sucking a cow over near port perry and many people rightfully scoffed at the idea although there is a popular belief that certain snakes sometimes suck the teats of cows black snakes and milk or house snakes are most commonly accused of the practice thousands of country people are willing to swear on oath that cases of snakes sucking cows have come under their personal observation herpethol- ogists however frown on the notion scientific proof or disproof is difficult to obtain but no reputed naturalist be lieves they do we asked one of these authorities while on a tour of the humber river watershed a few weeks ago said this authority anyone who has ever milked a cow knows that the suction required to obtain a flow of milk is much stronger than could be exerted by a snake furthermore a snake has two rows of sharp curved teeth in the upper jaws if the mouth of a snake were closed to permit suction the teeth would sink into the teat and the snake would find itself fully occupied in efforts to avoid injury to the cow it should be remembered that a snake has no cheeks or lips- the only way a snake could succeed would be to get the teat at least part way down the throat now what kind of a snake would know how to go about this business milk snakes got their name because they frequent milk houses and dairy barns actually the snake is there to get mice and insects so much for the fable about snakes and cows our capital correspondent written exclusively for the stouff ville tribune by m l sschwartz it is reported in ottawa that it is quite possible that all canadian servicemen overseas may be home by christmas though at the begin ning of november only 2812 were still overseas whereas about a year ago no less than 171000 canadian servicemen and women were locat ed abroad emphasizing the gigantic movement across the atlantic in order to facilitate the move ment of some of the large numbers of refugees or displosed persons who are now in europe and who are admissable to canada under the present immigration regulations the canadian government has approved measures in ottawa for the despatch of immigration officers to occupied territory to help bring them to this country as part of can adas contribution to the solution of this problem though it is made clear here that this is a method of inspection of immigrants which may not be a procedure normally adopted by ths immigration branch this is now intended mere ly to aid in this effort to solve the refugee problem as quickly as pos sible in view of the difficult con ditions prevailing in those areas of europe since many veterans have com plained that their allowance cheques are slow in arriving it is pointed out in ottawa that this is jvill you accept a contract to get more out of life due frequently to the destruction or delay in

this is returned delay results since the department has no way of knowing otherwise if cheque has reached intended recipient the missing polish art treasures kept in canada during the war have been described in ottawa as posses sions over which the canadian gov ernment has no convrol and it has also been disclosed that canada had kept 17 million of gold bullion for poland though this had gone back to poland got it from gordon brown your friend at canada ijfo he knows that the man who is really going places in life isnt always the one nominated by the graduating class as most likely to
