the hus bands who may have spoken in favor of the resolution got away with it without being hauled out of the hall and ducked in the nearest creek we have sometimes wondered what mrs kudyard kipling thought about her husbands saying that a woman is only a woman but a good cigar is a smoke st thomas timesjournal a longawaited job well done the longawaited renovation of the stouffville muni cipal hall has been completed and is a job well done the hall has been rather a disgrace for a long time both in appearance and in state of repair today a new hard wood floor has been laid with the kink taken out of the centre the old stove has been removed the entire place has been redecorated new furniture installed and new chairs are on the way all in all the place is most presentable and will provide fine accommodation for municipal and community meetings of fifty persons at the same time a repaint job was done in the towns municipal office and the drab of high cupboards have taken on a bright look which is most pleasing to the eye where stilt walkers abound a recent article in the new york times tells of the almost total disappearance of stilt walkers many men of today had fun stiltwalking when they were boys circus clowns used to do their clowning on them nowa days walking on stilts as a recreation is no longer done and a clown performing his routine on stilts is said to be quite a rarity but there is at least one part of england where many people actually use stilts in the course of their work that is in the hopgrowing country of kent hops are trained to grow up and along poles 12 to 15 feet high and as it would be a nuisance to carry a ladder and shift every few feet the hop pickers walk along on stilts putting the leaves in a basket which is carried over their shoulders by a strap stiltwalking appears to have gone the way of hoop- rolling and marbles the arrow and the how the hunting and field archers association of ontario has requested the legislature for a special open season for bow and arrow deer hunters in advance of the regular season the reason given is one of safety bow and arrow hunters do not wear bright colored clothes such as guntoting hunters wear rather camou flage is essential for the bow and arrow technique the sport has become popular in the united states and is gradually making its way into favor with can adian sportsmen especially in the populated areas it is much safer but with so many hunters with firearms skulking about in the woods and pastures there is danger that these sombresuited bow and arrow men will be taken for deer the appearance of the bow and arrow in competi tion with the rifle is heartening the comparison at first glance might seem similar to that between the first wright brothers heavierthanair hying machine and the latest jet fighter but like the flying machine the bow and arrow calls for uncommon skill far beyond that required to hit a target with a rifle it is achievement of an entirely different order one disadvantage of course to bow and arrow hunting as sport is that unless the arrow pierces the heart it requires more time for the animal to die than when struck by a bullet in the cause of humane feeling this is a black mark indeed but since the odds in favor of the animal pitted against a hunter and an arrow are much greater than when the hunter is carrying a gun there is some compensation it would seem appropriate however rather than increase the hunting season to accommodate these robin hoods to retain the present period and divide it between the two types of hunters st thomas timesjournal events oe bygone days from the files of the tribune 2 wars ago fa miiers who art selling cream wiil notice the unprece dented price of this product just now butter

laurent and external affairs minister pearson too often we take such leadership for granted but when danger really threatens or the world situation becomes complicated there is genuine assurance to all canadians in having these men at the helm russias veto of the appoint ment of mr pearson as secre tary of the united nations robbed the league of the ser vices of the one in all the world best

right of the oppos ition in parliament to criticize the government in office but there is pretty general agree ment outside of purely poli- ticial circles that such criti cism should be constructive this session impartial ob servers here at ottawa have expressed disappointment with the showing and performance of the opposition party there has been from the opposition party an almost frantic and desperate effort to lead the people of canada to believe there has been widespread waste extravagance and in efficiency in federal govern ment spending this frantic effort as election time draws near has not been supported by facts or even by construc tive suggestions where sav ings may be made on the con trary there have been extrava gant suggestions for increased expenditures two leading cabinet mem bers dealt ai some length with this matter during the week rt hon c d howe minis- fer of defence production whose honesty integrity and ability as an administrator are universally recognized spiked the opposition charges in a most effective manner he pointed out that ever since the beginning of our defence expenditure program there lias been sitting a defence expenditure committee a committee which also sat throughout the last war that defence expenditures committee is made up of mem bers of all political parties and has the privilege of examining in the minutest detail every item of defence expenditure and lie right to examine and trace every contract from its inception to its conclusion it lias the right to call as wit nesses anyone from anywhere to give evidence and the record of that committee shows they have been doing a pretty thorough job of examination and looking in corners to seek out signs of extravagance or waste the committee to date has not reported to the house finding either waste or extra vagance 1 1 is easy to make wild state ments about waste and extra vagance on the political plat form but the record is here to show that such charges have not been established be fore the all party committee where charges have to be sup ported bv facts this signifi cant feature of opposition charges should be kept in mind by our citizens who hear or road these extravagant pol itical statements hon d c abbott minister oi finance took time out from his busy duties to put the record straight as far as his position is concerned ho t7sc ff hat if x v s y bought

house this week it was revealed that the total cost to canada of our participation in the united nations police action in korea to the end of 152 was 129u603s this figure of course does not include

1k53 editor the tribune stoullville ont dear sir 1 liked that message by one of your national advertisers buiu around the key phrase acid milk powder in a recipe for health however in this readers mind the thought engendered by the above ad is not in physical terms of the individ ual but rather in relation to the marketplace and the health of the dairy farming activity ie according to my reading and if 1 remember correctly the third or fourth largest single operation in the canadian industrial picture 1 am one of your readers who has long been convinced that our rural brethren could and should use the labora tory as a key weapon in the industrialization of their com modities ie as one of the colunmnists describes the pro cess finding now and durable uses for old and perishable products to get their basic industry into bargaining shape to deal with the increasing threat from substitute and synthetic competitors for the food dollar in a discussion on this theme with a few of my town and city friends they made it abundantly clear that under similarly competitive circum stances in their various mar kets in the colorful phrase used by one of them urban business would spend a mini mum of time jousting with their new competitors and a maximum of effort to indus trialize suitably increasing quantities of the milkflow target for new markets at home and abroad and adver tise
