the stouf faille tribune established 1888 member of the canadian weekly newspaper association and ontario quebec newspapers association member of the audit bureau of circulations authorized as second class mall post office department ottawa issued every thursday at stouffville ontario in canada 200 in usa 250 a v nolan son publishers notes and comments buy easter seals announcement is being made in this issue of the tribune of the opening of the annual easter seal campaign which is being sponsored in this district by the stouffville lions club this campaign is well enough known to the people of this community that it should not be necessary to add much to the letter that is being sent out to people of the town and country asking them to give their financial contributions large or small to further the work of caring for and reclaiming crippled children of the district and province in the broad field of the province the ontario society for crippled children is carrying the same benefits to thous ands of children who would grow up helpless and dependent on society because the dollars contributed in the easter seal campaign are also used to finance the work of this society there have been innumerable cases of remarkable recovery from crippling conditions and disabling handicaps the work done in the blue mountain camp for crippled children on the georgian bay alone is sufficient to make this cause one which should have the support of every citizen for curb mashers in montreal a curb masher says the guelph mercury has been sentenced to jail for acosting and insulting a young girl on the street the girl made a note of the num ber of the car in which the young man was riding and handed it over to the police who located the offender and brought him to justice in a case like this a jail sentence is better than a fine any young man who is so low as to insult a young lady on a street would probably be prepared to pay a fine if caught but it is a different thing to get behind bars for a week or so under the circumstances a young man has a chance to think things over and he is likely to come to the conclusion that curb mashing does not pay we must keep our streets safe for women at all hours of the day and night and if we have to fill our jails in order to do it we would be justified in building bigger and better jails rural viewpoint in the towns and villages and on the farms most folk work a six or sevenday week in the cities many people now work only five days a week much of what city people buy is produced by a long work week in the country- much of what rural folk have to buy is produced by a short work week in the city yet earnings in the towns villages and farm hamlets are on the average lower than those of city dwellers this means that most country folk are working longer hours for less money so that some of their urban neighbors can earn more money working shorter hours the hanover post estimates that equal pay for equal work might lead to an economic revolution and a consequent decentralization of commerce and industry which would yield major benefits in trade health and citizenship cost of water high in agincourt when one reads about the high cost of domestic water the people of agincourt are willing to pay it makes us realize how fortunate folks in places like stouffville and markham village are to have a good supply at a fraction of the cost quoted for agincourt markham rates are prob ably a bit higher than stouffville where the supply is a gravity one and requires no chlorinatiqn yet both villages are low in cost to the users at a public meeting in agincourt the gathering was furnished actual rates that would apply if water is brought up through a 12 main from south scarboro dr 0 e a stehones estimated the cost to the average householder would be 70 per year of which 24 would be paid as a water rate and 10 mills additional on the assessment would bring the average to the high figure quoted the chairman said that farmers would be assessed for capital charges on only 100 or 120 feet of their frontage rather than the whole frontage which in some cases in cludes nearly a mile along kennendy rd he pointed out insurance rates would be decreased 40 per cent when water is brought to agincourt and this would help pay the cost of the water township school board the townships of whitchurch and markham will be unable to benefit from the full extent of public school grants as recently revised and increased for rural districts as compared to many rural sections who have established a township school board township boards are to receive a 300 grant for each school taken into the enlarged area but since the smaller areas are all retained this special grant will not apply here the dept of education is in favor of township areas and that is why it had provided special attractive grants the wisdom of enlarged school areas is settled in the minds of the dept of education so the rural districts may just as well fall into line and thus receive these grants whitchurch alone this year will lose 3600 because the trustees in the majority of the sections fought down enlarged school areas or a township board when it was proposed last year this same township fought against statute years 25 years ago and not until it lost a substantial grant did the ratepayers rise up and demand the council of the day adopt the new system those who had a broadened insight could see the impossibility of the farmers maintaining township roads with ever increasing motor traffic yet many in whit church fought it down until the loss to them was so appar ent the officials of the day had to step aside and bid progress come along the rejection of a township school board is much like history repeating itself seventyfive per cent of the pro vince is now operating a township unit and the remainder will ultimately adopt it in the meantime the standouts will lose heavily in grants which will have to be made up from the pockets of the local taxpayers a township area board has much to commend it and it may have drawbacks as well but when the whole pro vince is bent that way just a few cannot stop the trend isnt it foolish to try these columns are open for a discussion on the pros and cons if any ratepayers wish to be heard through the press in days of yore 28 vears ago from the files of the tribune a mysterious fire occurred
