the tribune stouffviiie ont tnursday november is 194s the stoaffville tribune established 1s8s member of the canadian weekly newspaper association and ontario quebec newspapers association member of the audit bureau of circulations authorized as second class mail post office department ottawa issued even- thursday at stouffviiie ontario in canada 200 in usa s250 a v nolan son publishers notes and comments no shaving before nine the financial post a toronto barber was lined 25 the other day because he shaved a man before the legal hour of 9 am one wonders what our grandfathers would have thought of a law which forbids barbers to open for business until half the morning is gone if man hasnt got rid of his accumula tion of whiskers by nine oclock he might about as well leave them on for the rest of the day undoubtedly many retail sales hours were unnecessar ily long in the old days but certainly it is possible to err just as seriously in the other direction to the man who must be at his office desk at nine the barber shop that does not open before that is not much use and barber shop hours are not the only ones being restricted motor service stations are closed early and tightly in many com munities as tourists sunday or late evening drivers have discovered to their annoyance even the corner drugstore where one used to be able to buy almost anything on a sundav has not escaped but that may be well probably with some planners one can accommodate himself to these changes without too great hardship but not if the restrictions are carried much further after all we are supposed to be living in a free country and extreme regulations of this kind do not fit into that sort of picture lomj locks familiar in bc the victoria bc times calls attention to the changed look of the men in that beautiful part of canada locks hanging over the collars are quite the thing towsley kept heads are much in order and its all because the barbers demand 75c for a haircut one thing the men learned too was that when once the hair reaches a certain length it ceases to grow some stop growing sooner than others and unfortunately some seem to never stop until they get out over the back of the mans collar however their fore fathers wore their hair that way so why not this genera tion they ask another western paper comes along with a protest about the unkept head and declares the present generation is too lazy to cut its own hair forty years ago dad was the family barber and he should assume the office again says a paper in saskatchewan so perhaps in the long run high barbering prices will bring about a change where helpless generation can do a bit of its own cutting and re duce the high cost of living the calgary albertan declares- whats important many workers have begun to realize that it is less important to own a factory than to get a fair share of the production or its cash equivalent though cash is less important if there is nothing to buy with it said the london times recently the story is told of an american visitor who was taken to a large factory near prague whose is it he asked his guide it belongs to the workers he was told and whose are those the american asked pointing to about half a dozen large cars standing outside the gates oh those belong to the bosses shortly afterwards the guide went to visit the ameri can in detroit whose is that factory he asked his host why that belongs to the boss the chech then pointed to a fleet of hundreds of cars standing outside the gates and whose are those he asked oh they belong to us water will sell the story is told of an expert beverage taster who had a very poor opinion of water while the expert was tasting samples of beverages someone slipped in a glass of water when he came to it and tasted it he said i dont know what it is but it wont sell never have we put the proper appraisal on water but we are beginning to appreciate its value now inland towns and cities are searching desperately for water the shortage of water to turn hydro turbines is part of the same drought picture- constantly lowering water tables are forcing people to drill wells at great expense failing springs and streams are creating a bad situation across the countryside the time has arrived when water will sell and to buyers the cost will be high and the cheapest way to buy this needed water will be to create forest cover restore swamps and hold water in ponds and lakes created by engineers in the high lands we cannot allow a large proportiop of our precipitation to run off in devastating floods and still have enough for the use of vegetation animal and man like a snowball advices in ottawa indicate that the family allowances act is under review and that it is likely that it will be amended at the next session of parliament in order to pro vide more generous allowances for large families says the oshawa timesgazette there is also a suggestion that the present provision reducing the allowance for the fifth and any subsequent child may be removed from the act this is following the usual trend of social legislation once a new social measure becomes law there starts a pressure movement from various directions to have it made more and more generous as hon g d conant used to say when he was premier and attornevgeneral of ontario social measures are like snowballs they grow as they move along and while such measures are easy to initiate thev are not so easy to control once thev find a place on the statute books family allowances at the present time areeosting the taxpayers of canada s270000000 a year and even in a period of inflated government revenues that is not a light burden most of the people of canada are todav asking for lower taxation by the federal government and no one has yet been able to devise a sound method of increasing ex penditures on social services and at the same time reducing taxation die niiring paradk i rio promised me he wouldnt trv marching

last year the effect of culling out approx imately 150 sheep before the 1017 show is evident in the decrease of entries in both breeding and market divisions the total is down about 300 but royal

against the high cost of mining soft coal this par ticular 20ton contraption has just been unveiled for the edification of the press at new lexington ohio by a pittsburgh coal company but other concerns are reported to have their own versions under develop ment indeed the idea of continuous mining has been a matter of study and experiment in the industry for several years past in the contin uous process the four basic steps in mining are reduced to one when and if the makers of the machine just exhibited succeed in getting the last of the bugs of it they expect to raise the output of coal per miner from the present aver age of six tons a day to around 100 tons their mechanical contrivance would handle both cutting and loading and would eliminate the need for drilling and blasting it is probably no accident that unusually rapid progress has been made in the field of laborsaving devices recently in the bituminous coal industry indeed in placing new emphasis of late on such long- range worker benefits as his welfare fund john l lewis may well have had this fact in mind monopoly has a way of generat ing its own competition and this is as true in the case of labor mono- j poly as in any other kind in the past few years mr lewis has employed the monopoly position of the united mine workers to j obtain from the mine owners and j the public all that the traffic would bear during and since the war even before he received his 191s19 i contract he had succeeded in gett ing for his union the highest aver age weekly wage in any of the nations principal industries a wage j representing an increase of more j than 22 per cent i one frequent result of a develop- ment of this kind is to increase the j tempo of obsolescence the shift to new sources for the product of the industry in question or its equivalent another is to speed up the introduction of laborsaving devices this is particularly likely to be true in the case of an indus- i try in which profits are low or j spotty and labor posts high soft- j coal mining as a whole fits this description on the average labor i accounts for go percent of all min- j ing costs that undoubtedly has much to do with the fact
