interest mounting r wu good to see the large crowd which assemb- lel in memorial park on thursday night for the all- important intermediate hardball game with sunder land longstanding local rivals stouffville is tradit ionally a hardball town and while a softball club has operated here with some success the last few seasons the greatest share of interest remains with the hard ball club and their minor league affiliates the only regret we have is that with the good club here this year the boys have not seen fit to be connected with the oba which despite some travelling at play off time adds greatly to the interest the red sox have one more hurdle to pass to get to the local league championship but certainly if they do much more in terest would be stimulated if they then started on the road for provincial honors as is the case of our local juvenile club which has already got by one round of ontario playdowns 1 the old home town by stanley iymiiibimuihk rhiiiiniiiiiimttiii ti banks o start saturday closing after a year or two of rumor allowing time for the idea to shudder its way home to public conscious- ness the local bank of commerce will be closed all day saturday commencing this week sept 11th with this decision there is likely to be heard plenty of criticism since local business people and farmers find it difficult even now to obtain service on satur day morning because of the crowd while some of this crowd is due to other banks south of stouffville being closed saturdays the local branch was always a crowded place saturdays long before the shortweek trend took over banks nearer toronto as far as the actual loss to the public in hours the bank has endeavored to compensate with additional hours on wednesday and friday the bank will re main open wednesday afternoon until 3 pm and on friday will be open from 430 until 6 pm while the friday additional hours will be of benefit little help will be derived from wednesday afternoon with all other business places closed and few people in town the claim of the banks is that the move is brought a- bout by a trend in industry started a number of years ago however this trend still affects comparatively few people in stouffville where despite some claims to the contrary we venture to say that ninety per cent of the business is still derived from farm trade the local management has stated through the press that the change has been forced upon this branch and that there is certainly no wish on the part of the local management to curtail service like many other changes in this day and age those who have long been accustomed to do business when business required it rather than when business desired it are reluctant to face such changes however time will no doubt cure and the public will no doubt succumb to the new trend new era in education for stouffville with the opening of the fall term of 1954 a new era has been ushered in in the educational facilities being offered in stouffville while for a great part of of the municipalitys existence more than seventy- five years stouffville has been served by two schools both have been housed under one roof on tuesday of this week two school buildings were thrown open for use a twelveroom public school and a new 400- 000 high school building one at either end of town the establishment of two schools sees the realiza tion of an endeavour which many school boards and prominent men in this community have worked to wards over the years not the least of these being the late publisher of this newspaper a v nolan for a time a cooperative school system existed be tween stouffville and markham but as the develop ment of the area advanced each community cherish ed a school of its own in its own best interests and with the dissolving of the markhamstouffville high school district two new high schools came into being stouffville is now blessed with a separate public school a good appearing serviceable building which should accommodate the younger pupils for some years there are ample playground facilities a shop room and gymnasium and kindergarten the new high school building on edward st provides the most mod ern facilities and equipment including gymnasium- buditorium cafeteria and shower rooms household science agricultural science shop rooms and business course facilities as well as standard classrooms local residents can be proud of their educational setup and should look forward to greater accomplish ments in education both academic and physical as the community continues to grow the late

canada the canad ian weekly newspapers asso ciation there are few millionaires among the 533 member publish ers yet there are few men ami women who do so well deserve the label free enterprisers with a special emphasis on the enterprise still almost entirely devoid of chain ownership or man agement the welfare of each of the 535 journals is integral ly related to the welfare of the village or town it serves and as a result most publishers are oneman chambers of com merce for their trading areas a recent nationwide survey of representative weekly and twiceweekly editors revealed that 95 per cent have served one or more terms as president of their local chamber of commer ce or board of trade 45 per cent had been mayor or reeve in their municipality or had held other high elective office 92 per cent were currently holding three or more execut ive offices in community organ izations plus aotive church af- ifiliation 15 per cent had been asked to stand for provincial or fed eral constituencies and of the publishers who consented to do so over 60 per cent had been elected 97 per cent were associated with a local service club 90 per cent as its president and a like number had been pro gram chairmen for three four years because they know- so many interesting people 91 per cent reported an aver age work iweek of over 55 hrs for themselves but an average of h hours a week for their employees 23 per cent reported personal earnings of over s5000 per an num although many were uni versity graduates most of the businesses are family enterprises with strong ties not only of community

the cwina conven tion at toronto attracted close to 500 delegates very often father mother and children the average cwna member paper although covering 82 per cent of the homes in its trading area has a net paid circulation of under 1500 copies a week and a staff of less than 10 in cluding the owner who is some times publisher editor print ing foreman advertising sales man and general caretaker combined yet it is because of this very intimate relationship not only to his own business and his staff but to his customers and subscribers that the average weekly editor is perhaps one of canadas best informed citi zens politically socially and economically he is indeed grass roots canadia as a result his edi torial page is often down to earth and there is not a mem ber of parliament at ottawa or in any of the provincial capi tals who does not watch close ly what his lotsi weekly edi tors are saying dailv newspapers in the face of steadily mounting casts have since 1916 been largely con tent to leave the coverage of local events to these weekly papers indeed in over 500 of canadas 750 towns and villages there is no comprehensive home coverage by any other local ad vertising medium
