the tribune stouffville ont thursday january 28 1954 the stouffville tribune established 188s member of the canadian weekly newspaper association and the ontarioquebec newspapers association member of the audit bureau of circulations authorized as scondclass mail postofflce dept ottawa printed and issued everv thursday at stouffville ont in canada 250 elsewhere 300 c h nolan editor jas thomas sports assist a v nolan son publishers notes and comments more please mayor charlotte whitton of ottawa expounded some thoughtprovoking arguments on the trend of government during her visit to london last week the colorful mayor contended the control of the peoples money was being taken farther and farther away from them she said that in 1930 the munici palities where the citizens control is most direct collected 40 of all taxes with the federal government getting only 25 now ottawa the branch of gov ernment farthest from the people gets over 65t while the municipalities receive less than b her alarm over this development appears well founded more and more control seems to be centering in the federal government a trend that brings more socialism more centralized power and less democracy more charlotte whittons are needed to bring the control of government back to the people minister of education favors back to the three its we go right along with ontarios education- min ister dunlop on his overall views on education speaking recently he deplored the removal of hard work and competition from schools and said there is a movement back to the three rs and without them none of us can really navigate theres a lot of money being spent on education these days young people spend a good part of their lives acquiring the education to help fit them for the place they are to take in the world in most commun- v ities the biggest single item in the tax bill is for educational purposes we know were asking for trouble and an argument but a lot of very average taxpayers are asking quietly if they are getting their moneys worth in our present system of education we are not prepared to get into the subject too far because we are frank to admit we have not had time to read that book entitled the hope report which hasnt proved a big seller in the book stores perhaps we are a bit old fashioned like the hon mr dunlop but we do look back with interest on the days when it was as big an honor to be chosen for a spelling match and stay up longest as it was to win a championship on field day perhaps he too can re member the competitions in mental arithmetic and when the copy books gave examples of good writing if competition is good in field sports in rugby and hockey and has to be met when every boy and girl goes out to make a living it would seem that competition might bring some improvement in spelling reading writing and arithmetic perhaps some of you older readers remember when the first six students for the month in each grade had their names and marks published in the paper we would like to con fide to you that it wasnt the newspapers which stopped this competition in school studies wonder if some of our older teachers would care to send in their views on this important subject for publication the canadian statesman do we need a municipal garbage collection stouffville municipal council has been asked again this week to consider the matter of a municipally- operated garbage collection there is no doubt that in due course such a service will be necessary and due to increasing population will be a reality the present garbage collection a qnceaweek service is provided on a customer basis by private enterprise peter bramwell went into the business some years ago when only a few were requesting such service and at that time council was more than pleased that someone saw fit to make a business of garbage collecting since that time more and more householders and business places have been added to his customer list until it has become a real fulltime job however there are those who feel that for equal ity of service a municipal collection should be instituted which would provide regular weekly or biweekly collection for every home and business in town through the chamber of commerce those who feel the need for such service have been pressing for a new deal such a system would in all probability be handled similarly to the collections in whitchurch which are let by tender to provide a truck and render such service could amount to an expenditure of possibly 3500 to 4000 a year a matter of three to four mills in taxes and it could be that council might re quest the chamber of commerce chief champion of the municipalservice idea to present a signed petition of ratepayers as proof of warranty kur parents only milk strike grandma writes how re lieved hundreds of mothers were when the milk strike was over she hopes our john ny will never lack his quart of milk a day she certainly would be horrified if she knew how he balk- and says dont want milk the more 1 coax scold or threaten the more stubborn he becomes what will 1 do with him mrs jones asked wearily refusing to drink milk can b a very perplexing problem how should a mother cope with it she should try to dis cover why johnny does not want to drink his milk and in the future avoid this cause if possible perhaps mother has been too insistent on his drink ing milk and here is one place johnnv can clefv her success fully johnny may be feeling a bit neglected because mother has been very busy with other du ties he has discovered that re fusing milk is a sure way to focus mothers attention on him perhaps mother has been expecting johnny to drink more milk than he can natur ally desire after a hearty meal johnny may not be feeling very well and his appetite is affected or he may have heard father or some adult expres sing a dislike for milk johnnys mother has discov ered that coaxing scolding and threatening are equally ineffective the right way for mrs jones to handle this sit uation is to ignore it at the same time she can include as much milk as possible in the foods she is preparing grad ually johnny will likely for get he is on strike the best teaching is by ex ample mother and johnny can enjoy milk together perhaps disguised in an eggnog a milk shake a chocolate drink or cocoa thus johnny will have his daily milk quota and in time will likely want plain milk too mothers sometimes make the mistake of thinking of milk only as a drink and not as a food part of a childs quart a day should be used in other ways than as a fluid in making

cur in the warning that the butter producers would be better advised to spend their energies in building up their own business rather than tea ring down the other fellows my thought is that if there is a legitimate field for critic ism it lies closer to the good earth and should be directed at what one writer terms the estimated 153000 farmers who foul their own nest as steady buyers of the butter substi tute yes sir id be inclined to forgive the militant dairy farmers if they delivered an occasional broadside on this theme in their advertising tnd promotional campaign which latter i

ques tion of a correspondent- we are told that successive years of good crops are responsible for those vast piles of grain for which there is no storage perhaps that it so but might those good crops also owe something to better farming practices the federal bureau of sta tistics ottawa points out that canadian farmers have harvested an average of near ly 018 million bushels of wheat in each of
