comments it ised to be fun to whittle the world is changing is a rather old observation it has been made through the years more as a com ment upon the habits of people rather than a conclusion on the physical aspects of the earth itself when one looks back on what used to be years ago and is seldom seen or experienced today the fact of change becomes apparent little habits that were common a half century ago are difficult to discover in people now as an instance one seldom sees anyone sitting around whist ling and whittling on the old stoop of the general store it was a common sight at the beginning of the century and for jome years after to see a man whiling away the time with a penknife and a piece of soft wood whittling was a form of relaxation in a day that was much more relaxed than the present some whist lers became woodcarving artists as a result of their devotion to the knife and a piece of pine perhaps the french canadian wood carvings evolved from the whittling habit it used to be fun to whittle but much that was fun a generation or two ago has been lost in the con stant shuflle and scuffle of social evolution todays leisure isnt spent on such pastimes as whittling there is the constant urge to go places should consider police contract now stoullvilles contract with the ontario provincial police expires the end of the year which is only a short time away already notification has been given to the municipal council that a higher rate will be aharged next year for the same contract this town cannot afford a higher rate while we have always favored the contract with the provincial police and the twoman fulltime system so many extras have been tacked on the contract since its inception that the total cost with an increase next year would be out of all proportion the figure for 1955 would run over 510000 which is so per head for policing for every man woman and child in town nearly double the cost of the township of markham on a per capita basis at the time the original contract was signed the opp stated that only a twoman contract would be given however since they have now had a consider able period to estimate definitely the policing needs of the town we think it would be wise to try for a more modified contract or the establishment of an auxiliary detachment post here to support the vandorf detach ment which has never been too heavily manned for the territory it has to cover some arrangement along these lines might be worked out with the end of the year and the end of the con tract fast approaching now is the time such a matter should be given consideration and preparations made for whatever change is likely to be necessary citizens should be interested in obtaining industry the citizens in your community should be inter ested in obtaining industry bob potts of the trade and industry branch ontario department of pianniig and development told a meeting last week of st marys chamber of commerce he aslo stated that rareless and unfounded remarks by citizens can turn outsiders against your town mr potts remarks should be of keen interest to stouffville which communicy needs industry badly he stated the industrial development of a municipality usually proves to be a long term program one centre in ontario spent many thousands of dollars over a nine- year period before being able to secure its first indus try he said it has usually taken most centres from three to five years work to get results educating the citizens to be alert was one of the tasks the jaycees could do the speaker suggested so many towns have citizens who are not interested or who are not aware of what their industrial commission is doing its very important that prospective industries be sold on your town mr potts continued careless remarks made by citizens who may be approached by key people may turn someone against your town regarding new industry he said that the major ity of firms starting out nowadays want to go in on a leasepurchase arrangement if they cant find a building to rent a group of private individuals usually organize for this and put up a building for the new firm on a ease basis with an option to purchase at the end of a period of years he said that stratford had done this and also mentioned other examples of it the speaker cautioned that the competition for industry was tough and smaller communities were finding things pretty difficult but there was a trend of industries going farther afield from the big indust rial areas and moving in to smaller centres this trend may not be evident immediately it ik i filling those senate vacancies we dont envy mr st laurent his task of having to fill 18 vacancies in the senate here are 18 of the cushiest jobs in canada all in the gift of one man and the whole world knows it we dont know how many applicants there are for each of these jobs but it is dollars to doughnuts that there are far more than there would have been if the remuneration had not been increased as it was a year or two ago it would be a statesmanlike act for the prime minister to select men for these vacancies purely on the strength of their characters and abilities without regard for their politics but if he did this he would offend many of his own friends who feel that the party owes them something and nobody like to dis appoint his friends if he delays much longer in making appointments the effect will be the same and if he appoints good liberals to all the vacancies he will still have to leave probably hundreds of his friends out in the cold we believe it was arthur meighan who said that for every appointment a prime minister makes he makes 20 enemies and one ingrate canada can afford to pay her lawmakers enough to enable them to live in dignity commensurate with their positions but she cant afford to have her laws made by men who are attracted to the job only by the cushiness of it we suggest that the best way to reform the senate is to give it more to do not more timefilling jobs but jobs of such importance that they cannot be left unfinished and the doing of which will tax the abilities of the members rural scene regeneration for
