the tribune stouffviue ont thursday november 2s 1946 department of education still out to throttle the smaller high schools jtout thugs fifty years thkik juniors two youths one armed with a toy gun and both 50 years younger than their intended victims were no match for william hamilton 76yearold toronto grocer and his seventy- yearold wife instead of com plying with the robbers de mands mrs hamilton ran to the phone while her husband a onetime wrestler reached below the grocery counter and seized a stout fourfoot hickory stick the youths fled with mr uamiuort hot after them a customer in the store during the holdup declared mr hamilton sure scarced the day lights out of those two men western grains jring weed seed o east westney according to v h westney eputy reeve of pickering town- hip the greatest source of new feeds in the county is the western rains imported here and also in- fficient chopping mills which fail o properly destroy weed seeds and how them to be spread across the elds again how are we ever going to clean p these weeds if we keep on anting them he said to members f ontario county council in ses- ion last week members of the council asked ir beare county weed inspector o give special attention to the flicient operation of threshing naehmes and of cleaning mills to ee that all weed seed is destroyed as to the cutting of weeds along ghways on farms and in vacant ots the inspector pointed to the hortage of farm labor as one of problems faced but said that 11 possible work had been done he outlined a few of the experi- nental plots used during the year ome sprayed with 21d and others irith atlacide but explained that nany of these tests had been under- ken rather late in the season and hat results would not be conclusive mtil next year the weed which he emphasized nost in his report was buckhorn a ust carrier which grows along ences and roads he asked that pecial attention be given to eradi ating this noxious weed whenever liscovered both by cutting down nd by spraying and said that it lad to be very carefully watched mr beare praised the work of arious junior farmer clubs in the toxoid clinic county who had launched clean farm competitions and had set up experimental areas for observation he described the weed control work of neighboring counties and said that with more equipment and more help just as efficient a job could be done in ontario county mr beare also praised the work of municipal weed inspectors and said that he hoped to report a great improvement in the work next year warden j m rae complimented mr beare for the work he had done during the year in thanking him for his report believe fooling fifty percent of educational cots is prov ing hot potato for provincial government trying to unload at expense of smaller places like stouffviue the ontario department of edu cation till have their man gordon l duilm travelling over the pro vince preaching the destruction of many of our continuation and high schools which over the years have been the very centre of social and education life in the country the same government that pays mr duffin to go out preaching this doctrine of centralization also re commends decentralization of in dustry from the cities to the coun try there is a strong suspicion that the department of education hopes through their school area plan to get rid of a hot potato they are paying liberally toward secondary education and on a basis of giving more to the weaker area if the small schools can be closed and the children lugged from one end of the country to the other by us to some large school the department will provide less grant to the large school than they would to a weaker section or area mr duffin knows well how valu able a school is to any town or vil lage and that the closing of any school would be the biggest blow the place could receive it can be taken as so much bunk the cry of mr duffin that only in the 500 to 1000 pupil school can proper allround education be pro vided true there may be a lot of things taught in the very large schools that the smaller school would not touch but the number it has ben proven township and towns alike would do well to move slowly in this matter if the recommendations of the department and mr duffin are followed education will surely take an upward jump imagine whitby hast whitby and pickering having to pay s5000 per year for transportation alone and when the bus drivers get well organized that sum will not be sufficient to cover this one item imagine too if you will drawing pupils from claremont and altona districts all the way to whitby when they have a good high school at their very door in stouffviue in school matters there are no county boundaries to be recognized hence why not send the students to the nearest school available 6bufcny rhubarb fruit ok vegetable if lawyers debating the question of rhubarb before a united states customs court at buffalo ny ex pect any help from botanists in settling the matter of whether the plant is a fruit or vegetable theyre going to be disappointed athough dr f l drayton dominion botanist avers one thing is quite clear botanically its not a fruit the matter cropped up when us customs brokers protested a 50 per cent duty on rhubarb shipped from toronto to a lockport ny canning company fresh fruits carry only a 35 per cent duty and

is not important enough to warrant such large areas as are be ing sought mr duffin told ontario county council that the average area being set up is 200 square miles which meant that in ontario county whit by town east whitby and picker ing townships would all need to combine to get the required area it is most unlikely that mr duffin knows anything about the town ships to be affected in this area be cause he talks largely from maps and has made some very impractic able suggestions along this line as wide variation between terms used by the layman and the botanist actually theres no such thing as a vegetable botanically speak ing he said a vegetable is simply a piece of vegetation to a layman vegetable is term for things used as a side dish sort of with meat a fruit on the other hand is de
