the tribune stouffvihe ont thursday october 12 1950 the stouffvihe 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 mail post office department ottawa issued every thursday at stouffvihe ontario in canada 200 in usa 250 a v nolan son publishers notes and comments bragging about speed some people have some very odd ways of showing what good citizens they are in this onrushing world they brag about how short a time it took them to drive from here to there its about time these people realized that the rules of the road have a purpose to save human lives maybe you are a responsible driver if so dont encour age the recklesslyinclined by bragging about speed help those who are trying to promote safety on our streets and highways by respecting the law yourself councils firm stand commendable stouffvihe municipal council is to be commended on the firm stand it has taken in the big fight to preserve out- high school standing shoulder to shoulder with members of whitchurch council the local municipal authorities have made it clear to our southern neighbors repeatedly that they have no intention of giving up an educational home which has been built up through great effort and cost over a period of twenty years anyone who would suggest the scrapping of our local institution in favour of promoting a new school in markham where school improvements were practically nil until the area board took over is betraying the men who occupied council and school board seats here during the last quarter century they had a vision of establishing modern second ary educational facilities here and worked year by year planning the financial steps so that they did not fall too onerous at any one time our present tax rate and the arrangement of our meagre debenture debt bears testi mony to this careful planning now as the time nears for future school expansion sizeable yearly debenture payments are ending making way for such costs as are necessary stouffvilles present council members are thoroughly fired with the necessity of maintaining our high school and feel a pride in helping to maintain and carry on that work of educational building begun by local boards and councils of some years back stouffvihe now has a population of close to 1700 persons and an assessment which next year may be closing in 01 the one million mark it is unthinkable that a com munity of this size should be called upon to operate with out a secondary school or that anyone who considers this their home town should favor dealing the community such a crippling blow as to detach the high school canadian dollar freed by withdrawing the peg on the canadian dollar and allowing it to find its level in relation to the us dollar by the operation of supply and demand ottawa has taken action necessitated by changed conditions which were ex erting harmful inflationary influences on the canadian economy particularly in the last few months there has been an inrush of american funds to buy canadian securities in anticipation of our dollar being returned to par this specu lative movement helped to boost our prices and increase our indebtedness to the united states canadas official reserves of gold and us dollars which stood at 1255000000 on june 30 rose to 1320000000 by july 31 to 1504000000 by august 31 and a prelimin ary estimate placed it at 1789000000 on september 30 as finance minister abbott said in his statement on freeing of the dollar there is no telling how much farther this movement might have gone so long as the fixed rate of a 10percent premium on us dollars was maintained and people believed in the possibility or probability of an official change to another fixed rate such as parity of the canadian dollar with the us dollar it will be interesting to see to what level the canadian dollar will rise and become fairly well stabilized if the rise is appreciable it should cheapen goods bought from the united states and britain provided the importers pass along the savings freeing of the dollar may have a deflationary effect in the case of products sold to the united states such as cattle newsprint and lumber 1 canadas gold mining industry which has found the going difficult during the inflationary period would have taken a further beating with the rise in value of the cana dian dollar however the government will pay a subsidy of 350 an ounce for all new gold produced at least for the balance of the year this will make up for the loss if the canadian dollar reaches par anything under par will mean additional returns to the gold mines dime soft drink the minister of finance called his recent budget small size to help prevent prices from going higher one feature was an increase in taxes on corporations since corporations produce most goods and since taxes are a cost of doing business all who produce goods must try to raise prices to recdver their higher cost in a few instances the excessive tax may come out of dividends to shareholders thus affect ing adversely recipients of dividends who if they are poor already were spending as little as possible and if they are rich wont be affected anyway another feature was to add a- cent to soft drinks and candy many soft drinks traditionally have been sold at five cents the bottlers already were in a squeeze since the 1950 nickel is a shrunken and miserable caricature of the nickel of mr abbotts school days if the tax of one cent cuts sales as it likely will the loss of volume to bottlers will reduce the margin so much that the price is likely everywhere to go to seven or eight cents or the bottlers go to the poor- house mr abbott who likely was a good lawyer before he got into parliament is bringing nearer the happy day of the dime soft drink a third feature of the budget is the measure to fix mini mum terms for sales on the instalment and other credit plans this is a good thing all around it is good that dealers and finance companies will not lend too heavily and it is even better that buyers dont buy a new washing machine at least until they get the stove paid for the catch is how ever that many a good lawyer believes the law is an en croachment on provincial rights so maybe mr duplessis who is watchful in such matters will bring about a contest to decide whether or not ottawa can do it when there is no national emergency mr abbott says that the government itself will reduce its spending on things not related to rearmament good in tentions are duly noted mr taxpayer however long has been married to a wildly extravagant wife the govern ment and hell be worried into his grave before she re forms to
