the tribune stouffffvilie ont thursday august 19 194s the stouffville tribune established 1888 member of the canadian weekly newspaper association and ontario quebec newspapers association member of the audit bureau of circulations paidinadvance circulation as of march 31 1m8 297 issued erery thursday at stouffville ontario in canada 200 in usa s25t a- v nolan son publishers notes and comments in a small town the other day a prospective resident from the city ask ed the question how do you live in a small town because we cant see what we will do if we decide to buy in stouff ville we felt like answering him by asking him another question how do you live in the city how do they live without neighborliness how do they live in their cramped apartments where one has to step out into the hall to change his shirt or his mind where everyone is hurrying to get some place and they cant be cause they have to jostle their way through crowded streets where everyone wears a harried look as though a bill col lector was following on their heels trying to collect the in stalment on the folding bathtub or the chiffonierkitchen cabinet where you have to wait minutes before you can make a mad rush across an intersection where pavements get so hot and tempers get hotter where walls are so thin that you can hear your apartment neighbor and his wife dickering over which small town they will visit next sun day where people dash into a lunch room at noon grab a sandwich and cup of coffee and then hustle back to a two- byfour office to swelter for the rest of the afternoon where the working girls have to spend their hardearned shekels for makeup to make them look like rosycheeked small town girls is it any wonder we looked surprised when asked what we do in a small town out here we have so much to do our head could be in awhirl all the time but most people know enough to stay at home and take it easy live longer and happier havethe joy of a garden neighbors and the thrill of heilo bill and how are you jane and such other in timacies as we might mention true there is town gossip but somehow it keeps folks alive and they thrive on it where they all know the town council and the village reeve tear him to pieces declare him the worst ever to hold office then ask him to accept an other acclamation yes sir the small town is the place for worthwhile living and if you are so minded to enter into membership of all the societies and organizations youll find my city friend that seven nights are just not enough in the week to get you around to all the demands on your time- if you dont believe what we have written move to stouffville and you will be convinced encourage thrift thrift is taking a bad beating these days hence it is encouraging to note that the kitchener public school board is considering adoption of a school banking system such as that recently approved by the windsor board of educat ion it would take the place of the ontario penny bank scheme which was discontinued some time ago never have children needed a lesson in thrift so ur gently as now a few decades ago a nickle a week allowance for the small fry was bountiful they usually earned it at some menial task and took their own sweet time in spending it today a youngster without little less than folding money allowance is a sulky individual parents see reflect ed in their largess proof of the adage easy come easy go the young buck of today can shed himself of a dollar as easily as a molting bird sheds feathers and what does he have to show for it a comic book a bag of chocolates a wad of gum a few sodas and a stom achache the morning after wanted a minimum automobile one of the results of mr abbotts sudden announce ment lifting the austerity taxes has been a readjustment in the price of automobiles this is supposed to have made the new car dealers happy and the used car dealers unhappy whatever the case mr john public is as ever confused unable to decide whether to order the 1948 model now and wait three months to hold off for the 1949s and wait until 1951 or go on rattling about in the atrocity which he bought from honest joe at secret price two years ago mr public is still wondering what happened to the brave new world with a helicopter in every garage not all the motor manufacturers have made public their new readjusted prices sans austerity tax but still with a stiff is per cent tax but from what we have seen one thing is abundantly clear the good old days when you could order a family sedan any color you like mister for 875 fob windsor have gone if not forever at least for a good long time the cheapest car on the market seems to run close to 2000 plus spare tire radio airconditioner sunvisor fog lights and special chrome trim with which myster iously they all seem to come equipped nowadays the low- priced english or continental car may fill some of the demand but many people still prefer the larger north american type who then is going to give canadians a minimum automobile a neat but not gaudy model with out the nice but not essential gimmicks and gingerbread which motor manufacturer is going to have the initiative to turn out a standard car and not a superdeluxecustom cruiser it may be too much to expect that the prices of the 1930s will return but what has happened to the dream car for those of modest means odd case a magistrate in cobourg ont had a difficult task to perform in court last week before him charged with break ing and stealing was a man of 71 years of age he had beer released from burwash last january up to that time 32 years of his life had been spent in prisons of the united states and canada the magistrate sentenced him to ten years in the kingston penitentiary a strict penal institution does not at first seem to be the right place to send a man who has passed three score years and ten yet we suppose that if a man steals in his 74th year justice demands he pay the penalty in his 74th year one wonders though just what this veteran criminal was expected to do on being released from jail in january- find a job we venture the opinion that he had no old age penion cheque to cash that was partly his fault for being in jail the old home town by stanley editors mail brampton ontario august 10th 194s the editor stouffville tribune dear sir i read with some interest your editorial in a recent issue of your newspaper regarding dear sweet boys who were unfortunate e- nough to be in first year osgoode while 1 realize that the function of an editorial in a newspaper is to provoke thought i also feel that both sides of the picture ought really to be disclosed it will be remembered that a large proportion of this class is made up of veterans of this last conflict and who have served long and dangerously for the preserva tion of our democratic way of life it would seem to be some what harsh that some of these gentlemen who have endeavoured sincerely to reestablish them- selves after being so severely dis- rupted to have their ambitions thwarted by an unconsidered de cision i do not suggest in fact i verily believe that the decision as made to flunk this proportion of the class has been on the contrary very much considered before being announced but to have these gentlemen described as dear sweet boys would appear to lead one to think that their complaint is completely unjustifiable and groundless and your recent editor ial has kindled and fostered such an interpretation it will be remembered that this class is unfortunately large and that it is not difficult to imagine that the competition is very keen had these classes been proportion ately spread over the six years of the war as no doubt they would have been but for the war then the numbers attempting to be cal led to the bar in any one yea- would be much smaller and hence a few more would ultimately reach their goal in their chosen profession your suggestion that some of them may seem to feel that examinations are really so much more of a red herring and that they feel that all should pass is rather presumptuous the dear sweet boys- know only too well that not all are to be lucky but only ask for a fair break i as well as yourself feel that the results as shown are probably as fair as they could conceivably be under the circumstances but is it not a little unfair to chastise the sentiments of the fallen with out recognition of the duress en countered yours truly a recent graduate r e prouse preaches ioxg axd lov1 parsox fixed in view of the fact that the reeve of stouilville came in for some mild form of criticism recently when he took action to silence a loud speaker that was in use by an evangelistic group preaching on the street one saturday night the amplifier was so loud it drowned otu voices of clerks ana customers in the stores nearby because of the situation which stirred some local people to question the action of the reeve a similar situation in port hope may prove of interest here in the port town residents are no even as considerate as the situation was proven to be in stouffville thats what reverend ii s winger visiting pentecostal minis ter found out last wednesday when he was fined five dollars and costs by magistrate r b baxter the fine was meted out for and we quote preaching in a tone of voice cal culated to disturb the inhabitants magistrate baxter was quick to point out that the fine had nothing whatever to do with reverend wingers religious activities only that he preached too loudly and disturbed the neighbours said the magistrate again we quote it must be borne in mind that a religious denomination is not being charged here one man is before the court for the manner in which he shouted while conducting a religious meeting surely it would have been enough to order the minister to lower his voice or silence it but perhaps that was done a point the news has no information on business directory dental neil c smith lds dds graduate of university of
