the tribune stouffvilie ont thursday june 26 1947 ibp tmiff mllr urtbunr established 18s8 member of the canadian weekly newspaper association and ontario quebec newspapers association member of the audit bureau of circulation- paidinadvance circulation as of march 1st 2553 issued every thursday at stouffvilie ontario subscription rates per year in advance in canada 200 in usa s250 a v nolan son publishers notes and comments public utility- commission this paper has over the years consistently advocated the need for a public utility commission to handle the hydro and water business in stouffvilie the advantage of such a commission two or three men is that over a period of years they become more and more conversant with the work they are delegated to supervise and plan whereas councils are constantly changing and men are lost just when they become of most value and understand the work of these great utilities further such men are chosen because of their ability for the work and this cannot be said of coun cillors there are two kinds of commissions one elected by the people and one that can be set up by the council the latter is subject to dismissal by the council but a commission elected by the people can only be turned out of office by election they are elected for a two year term one retiring each year so that there can never be a totally new com mission stouffvilie water works is in need of a great deal of attention we are using every ounce of water from the natural flowing wells and if there comes any kind of dry season pumping would have to be resorted to the pump ing system is not entirely completed although it is available for use and has been used this matter and others connected with these public undertakings of the village of stouffvilie would best be handled by a commission the members of which would be paid a small compensation for their services few towns operate these public commissions through their councils almost all of them having set up a commission to do the overseeing we are not sure about the feeling of the stouffvilie council on this matter but we hope it will be discussed and an expression of opinion stated by the members one of the greatest tasks confronting the nation at this time is the maintenance of national health one of the most serious of diseases and at the same time one of the most readily curable when found in its early stage is tuberculosis it is to the credit of the lions club and assistants and those who buy christmas seals from national sanitarium association that every resident of this district whether man woman or child may take precautionary steps against this insidious disease bv having a free chest examination on july 234 until apparatus using miniature film was developed mass surveys were impractical and costly chest clinics had to be confined to known and suspected cases as a result not more than one in five persons suffering from the disease was discovered until it had progressed to serious stages now this dangerous situation can be remedied found in its early stage and properly treated at once tuberculosis can be cured and the possibility of passing it to others overcome more persons in ontario over five years of age die from tuberculosis than from all other infectious diseases com bined this is largely because an affected person may go on for some time not at all aware that he has the disease any one of us can be attacked by this disease and at any time the old belief that those over 30 are no longer susceptible is entirely without foundation helping in the task of destroying this enemy of man is a duty that belongs to us all- the surest way of doing so is by having an xray cream for best results ship your cream to stouffvilie creamery we

bv a proposal had been made for conference of representatives of the commonwealth at canberra in july but it has not been possible either for the government of the united kingdom or canada to be represented at that time conse quently it has been disclosed in ottawa that consideration is now being given to the holding of such a conference toward the end of august if that is arranged 1 have no doubt that canada will be repre sented at the conference said a canadian contains statements of a personal nature which are made by the applicant to the department in a i order to get a passport and these editors mail dear sir i have walked over markham township many times and for njahy ars mostly selling little house hold wares to the farmers and others but lately 1 have not been spry i am 6s a year ago i lost my home and for some time i have sheltered in a congested toronto lodging house i have had sick spells on and off for some time and two months ago i became alarmed at an accellerated deteoriation of some inner parts and finding it difficult to get medical aid i deter mined to get in the clear air and serenity of the country side hence two days ago i packed a box of food and utensils and set forth my first nights shelter was a good one a devout mennonite woman insisted that i occupy her guest bedroom the second night i slept in a church the third night in an old railway shack containing stove and fuel but the fourth was an unfortunate one 1 spent it in an old empty house from which all doors and windows had been smashed a cold night wind arose and i was unable to get out of the draft in the morning i could bare ly rise every bone and muscle ached and i was weak and dizzy i realized that my old enemy la grippe was upon me by evening i managed to get back to the rail road shack and had a better night but next morning i was deathly sick and as it was an ideal isolated spot to either die or recover in i got over the fence and laid in the sun and shade in the field for five days and nights i lay there eating nothing and then sparingly and on the fifth day i felt better on the fourth night someone shouted out side the shack and opening the door i saw a young farmer with a rifle its a lucky thing for you said he that i didnt take a pot shot at the shack and shoot i felt neftled and told him plainly what i thought of indiscriminate rifle shooting in a settled community in defiance he went a few yards away and dis charged the rifle six times in quick succession guns and explosives have been a curse to the earth already a great part of the old world lies blasted into ruins and torment and today scientists are prostituting their brains and efforts on atomic bombs which by now they must have brought to terrifying power any time the atomic war may be upon us then but in more devesting form will the cities and towns of the new world meet the same fate as hoe of the old and if the farmer of the country side thinks he is safe from this he may ik- mistaken i can incision great hords of fear- maddened starving city and subur ban survivors racing over the country side seizing food and other necessities this young farmer mav j then find more use for his rifle than i blasting it off six times just to i grate the nerves of a sickly elderly man tatements are made in confidence as well as being privileged though this information might be revealed if tliere was an overriding public interest or by consent of the party the issuance of passports is an exercise of the royal prerogative i mr st laurent said the royal prerogative is exercised through the secretary of state for external affairs who decides whether in formation contained in applications for passports shall be made public he emphasized that passports have always been considered to he con- fidential documents today we are the fourth mari time nation in the world and when the boats now on british register are returned we shall probably be the third maritime nation in the world said reconstruction minis ter howe in the house of com mons emphasizing that canada should remain a shipping and ship building nation it has been made clear in ott awa that if a united states mem ber of the armed forces is involved in an automobile accident doing damage to a canadian citizens ear and person ho will be civilly and criminally liable under our laws before the canadian courts with the same anming if he commits any violation of our highway laws this clears up an important point which has been asked since the question was raised due to the possibility of united states armed forces being present here in future since our scientists have liber ated atomic energy and multiplied the destructive force of human armament it is not the pre domin ance of one country or another which is at stake in atomic war fare it is the very existence of human civilization said external affairs minister st laurent in a speech at the university of ottawa there is much gossip on parlia ment hill
