assist a v nolan son publishers notes and comments meters for the parking problem stouffville chamber of commerce has been dis cussing for many months now the problem of parking facilities in town and various suggestions have been put forth as a means of providing more accommoda tion the latest being the installation of parking meters we do not believe that the problem is nearly as great as some of the townsmen attempt to paint and therefore can see no wisdom in spending any great sum for added parking space particularly in the downtown area where commercial space is at a prem- ium certainly any attempt to use valuable commer- cial property on the south side of main st for parking would be ridiculous in our estimation two good parking lots are already provided one at the united church and one at the arena some added space has also been provided to the rear of hendricks hardware other suggestions have been to remove some of the curbs east of church st for boulevard parking and the curb on the hill near obrien ave this latter move would be quite acceptable as this hill has been a bottleneck for twenty years v latest proposal has been for the installation of parking meters and if as is reported no capital cost is involved in the installation we believe the idea a good one chief benefit would be to reserve the best parking space on main st for customers since it is not likely that those who merely wish to park then- cars as a grandstand on open nights would be inclined to keep feeding a parking meter it was also thought that the customers could use the metered spaces for shopping and then move on to one of the lots provided if they wished to remain in town to visit or attend some entertainment it would appear useless to install further signs leading to these parking lots but the meters might just provide the compulsion necessary some members of the chamber have voiced the opinion that too many folks merely come to town on open nights to visit frankly were only too happy to see all the folks who wish come to town open nights to visit while they themselves may not be cash customers they certainly provide some of the best advertisement the merchants could have crowds bring crowds and the greater the crowds the greater the percentage of buyers for parents only pine orchard the old home town by stanley keep the patient happy i march 15y imy leaver never sign your name for strangers if just ordinary folks the householders the workers and those who try for a lifetime to savei a little money for the rainy day would learn one salutary lesson there would be an end to the heart aches which occur too often because someone signs a paper without knowing its contents recently some smart racketeers have been cov ering ontario rapping at the doors of elder citizens and representing themselves to be bank officials and income tax officers by a clever subterfuge they obtain the bank book and also the signature of its owner for special filing in the bank the income tax officer socalled says he must see the bank book to report the balance to the department at ottawa the gullible who have signed at the request of the racketeers actually signed a blank cheque without knowing it some have lost hardearned and hard- saved money people calling and asking for a signature should be referred to the police persons not used to legal processes and forms will spare themselves trouble by refusing to sign any thing unless advised by one well qualified to advise them municipal speed zoning an amendment to the highway traffic act in troduced by hon george ii doucett in effect permits municipalities to establish speed zones within their boundaries although municipalities will have to show cause and obtain the ministers approval the principle of speed zoning is recognized and the amendment rep resents a withdrawal from the position mr doucett previously held in abandoning the contention that uniformity is desirable and that speed zones would cause confusion the minister has reacted generously and reasonably to the arguments of local traffic ex perts municipal councils school boards and home and school associations all of whom have maintained that speed zoning is realistic and necessary in its present form the amendment will permit municipalities to apply to the department for author ity to reduce speed limits in builtup areas from 30 miles per hour to 25 and to increase the limit on arterial roads what the higher speed will be has not as yet been stated but it has been indicated that it will be 10 miles per hour if that is the case there will be grounds for objection that 10 mph on certain metropolitan arteries is still too low and it may also be contended that 25 mph in certain builtup areas is still too high however the main point to be acknowledged at this time is the fact that the principle of speed zoning is introduced and will enable sieeds to be set within the defined limits which will be more in conformity with local conditions and requirements experience should lead to future adjustment of those limits to make the speeds even more conformable the action mr doucett has taken with regard to speeds within municipalities raises hopes that he will also do something about the speed limit on pro vincial highways there is no question of the prevail ing 50 miles per hour being unrealistic there is no doubt that it is consistently and generally unobserved bv motorists a law that is universally disregarded because it offends common sense is a foolish law wise legislators will see to it that their enactments com mand respect the telegram juniors prescription is two iveeks in bed keep the small patient happy hes out of danaer siow so you dont have to worry the doctor says heartily its he makes his de parture you feel relieved and very weary what plans tan you make for your child dur ing fourteen long days in bed in the first place it is well for a mother to realize that her own attitude is of tremen dous importance a mother just has to keep up her cour age and look on the bright side at a time of family up heaval junior is sick but he will get better his recovery will be a lot more pleasant and quicker too if he does not sus pect that mother is worrying about him this is no time for anxious thoughts fatigue with the extra work which a patient in the house means is sometimes so great that a mo ther finds it very hard not to be irritable and depressed for that reason she should cut out any unessentials in her day and plan to get a little more ret the doctors orders should be implicitly followed a moth er should make sure she un derstands clearly his instruc tions and then follow them to the letter friends and neigh bours and relatives too may think they have much wiser ways of treating this particul ar illness you may have to listen politely to their ideas but hold fast to the resolution that thi doctor is the person who is in full command of your childs recovery map out your childs day so that there is a routine which is- followed with time to wash breakfast tidying up the pa tients room free time for ju nior to amuse himself a fruit drink more free time

trying to force a sickabed child to oat large meals or sleep a certain number of hours appetite is apt to he fickle and sleep broken during sickness but with returning health these will right them
