publishers thanks for the abundance of church news coverage without the cooperation of ministers and others the tribune could not hold such a favorable position among the ontario weeklies and so it appreciates the work of its helpers notes and comments high school costs may increase a representative who recently waited on the dept of education along with others concerning the high school areas told this newspaper that they came away feeling the dept officials were bewildered at queens park the dept advocated larger areas and sent out champion speakers to put the big school areas across but did not know where it would all lead take ontario and york counties today every part ot these areas are serviced by high schools and it is not likely that there is a boy or girl not attending school because of not having transportation however when school areas are set up these two counties will be covered by bus service at the expense of taxpayers this service will be added to present school costs which will not be lower because one or two continuation schools are shut down actually we believe school costs will mount it is always that way the larger the spending body and in this case one the rate payers have no voting control over costs will advance with leaps and bounds new fangled ideas will always be cropping up for entertainment of the student body and the taxpayers will be the goat it is well that ontario county moves slowly in the matter the change there to one big school for pickering whitby and whitby town is drastic and will cost a lot of money while the area will be large it is the same area that is paying the high school costs today in a different way there is no new source of revenue and this should be borne in mind a sticky subject what has happened to the oldfashioned court plaster young readers may not know what court plaster i but those in middle age will remember this handy stickem for small cuts came in three colors black white and flesh the other day a professional man was telling us how- people require attention today for most trivial cuts that they could treat at home and then we recalled the plaster it eems to be another product that has fallen by the wayside like pears soap barrel crackers and other items we might mention it is hardly obtainable is court plaster to us it always seemed the most convenient remedy for shallow skin cuts or scatches clean and handy but whether for lack of advertising lack of salesmanship or what court plaster seems to be almost entirely off the market and has been supplanted by the present sticky adhesive or other modern forms of antiseptic covering who causes most accidents who causes the majority of accidents wild reckless drunken drivers not according to arthur rowan in charge of the accident recording division of the ontario depart ment of highways who explained that motorists who consider themselves good drivers because they have never had an accident and assume they never will have one con tribute greatly to the volume of highway traffic accidents he pointed out that fortunately there were many good drivers who had developed and regularly practised safe driving habits many of these had never had an accident but there was a group of drivers who did practise safe habits and who inaptly credited their ability rather than luck for keeping them out of trouble referring to interviews he had had with hundreds of motorists involved in accidents mr rowan said that prac tically all considered themselves good drivers they told him their accidents happened when they were driving in the same manner as they had time and time again without mishap but investigation proved that they were not obser ving the rules of safe driving sooner or later said mr rowan the motorist who considered himself a good driver simply because he had never had an accident would have one unless he practised the ordinary rules of safe driving apples for sale latest reports from the marketing board of the dominion department of agriculture indicate that there are prospects for a large crop of early apples while prospects for the late crop are not quite as bright indications point to a crop in the neighborhood of one million barrels this has led the canadian statesman of bowmanville to comment while the crop is a large one there is some concern among the growers both in ontario and british columbia as to available shipping space to handle the export surplus and also britains shortage of canadian dollars which may confine her to the importation of essential food supplies there has been a suggestion from bc- growers that the province buy 300000 barrels as an outright gift to the people of great britain which would be a handsome gift however there is still the problem of shipping space which is far short of essential needs our suggestion to ontario apple growers to meet this situation is to adopt cooperative modern methods of mark eting their apples and also put on an intensive advertising campaign right here in ontario to inform the people of the advantages of eating more apples there is no healthier or more satisfying fruit on the market than ontario apples explain which varieties of apples are best for eating and cooking and the time of year they- are at their best living in one of the best apple districts in gauls us to go into local stores and see windows and shelves cluttered up with oranges and grapefruit but no apples anyway we still think theres a lot of truth in the old saying an apple a day keeps the doctor away avhy should milk sales drop ontarios sale of fluid milk dropped 2000000 quarts in the month of may as a result of the higher price caused by removal of the subsidy this paper is prepared to back the government in dropping the subsidy for we have not forgotten that the same government instituted the baby bonus and we may well ask where is the baby bonus money going to the drop in milk consumption is due to less milk being given the children and while as deplorable as this may be why should there have been a falling off do not the children or parents spend their bonus money on this very real necessity of life if the baby bonus is any use at all it should more than offset the milk increase so there may be little excuse for the falling off in milk purchases gives moral leadership when the annual competition of weekly newspapers was to the front at ottawa a few months ago the leadership of the stouffvihe tribune was commented on by an official who said that in addition to a live news coverage the tribune published more church news than any other similar weekly in ontario this he said indicates the high standing of the district and the moral leadership of the newspaper which must be appreciated judging from the circulation of the paper to our church friends and correspondents goes the v fields of clover while many types of grass succumb to the long dry spell and turn brown clover prospers in the heat and lawns with clover are still dark green despite the lack of rain it has been- the fashion in recent years to leave clover seed out of most lawn mixtures because it is felt that the many blossoms detract from the beauty of the greenward and call for more frequent cutting but clover is the easiest of all grass to cut and in droughts such as we are experiencing now its presence is a great help to the amateur gardener boston post our capital correspondent written exclusively for the stouff vihe tribune by mlschwartz in face of the fact that the third session of the canadian parliament has been forced to continue for several months until this session of the 20th parliament had been proogued only recently with the rank and tile of the members being actually overworked at times yet already gossip along parliament hill hints that so much business has been left unfinished that the next gathering may be called much sooner that it appeared likely when the members had departed a short time ago indeed it is hinted that this unfinished busi ness is quite extensive and includes some important decisions or legis lation including private bills the flag issue was not decided and other controversial issues such as declaring the communist party illegal abolition of appeals to the privy council in england possible senate keforrh revision of the in come tax act changes in the elec tion act industrial disputes and relations act proposals and many others stitutionally communicable diseases are under the jurisdiction of the provinces nevertheless the au thorities here are aiding the pro vinces in this common fight a pamphlet called polio facts con taining valuable information is being distributed by the authori ties here with the anticipated removal of the existing subsidy on flour and wheat compelling millers to pay far more for their products it is expected that the price of bread may move up in canada within a relatively short time perhaps two or three cents a loaf this is the forecast whispered along parlia ment hill right now butjthe actual boost in price may not come for some time vet the alarming increase in divor ces in this country as shown in official records has teen causing considerable concern in ottawa though of course parliament has not yet done anything about the problem of the numerous divorces reaching i from quebec neverthe less aside from procedures it is pointed out that in 1jmg there were no less than 7551 divorces in can ada compared with 507g in 1w5 justifying the use during the past couple of weeks strange stories have been circulat ing in ottawa about supposed im portant changes being in the mak ing in the organization of the pro gressive conservative party of canada including one rumor that hon john bracken may step down as national leader however there is nothing official to confirm any such stories and in usually well- informed political circles it is re ported that all political parties are i likely to reorganize their forces before the next session is on the scene again though it is emphasiz ed that whatever changes do occur even in the pr6gressiveconserva- live party these are likely to be of la minor nature only and not in volve leadership in short these strange stories are discredited alarming in referring to the sit uation with prewar years such as iss finding onlys5 div reef ig
