the decline of the institution of breakfast is concerning nutritionists but their preaching runs up against such formidable barriers as the diet craze and the race with time breakfast has particularly lost ground with women dieting for slimness even though diet authorities generally oppose this approach with cffica workers wanting to gra an extra minute of sleep and aeove all with teenagers surveys show older girls are the main nonbreakfasters nearly half say they start for shcol with no breakfast at all or without any solid food two thirds of all students are raid to have bad breakfast habits yetthe na tional research council has recommended that break fast include onethird of the days required nutrients washington post watch your language there is a bylaw still on the books of pickering township under which anyone can be brought into court for swearing or using obscene language in the municipality we are not sure whether such a law exists in stouffville or not but if so it could be enforced by local police to the satisfaction of sunday evening church goers and residents of the local busi ness section police have had to intervene the last two sunday evenings as car loads of foulmouthed hoodlums ranged up and down in the business section much to the disgust of all citizenry who came within earshot to dale no charges have been made but the eyes of the police have been sharpened to the rowdy dis plays of both young men and women and a move to cleanup the disorders is pending outoftown roughnecks are blamed for the trouble k k in nighl meetings should be avoided wherever possible the lindsay post has taken up the cause of promoting daytime municipal meetings rather than evening sessions and speaking as one who attends several hundred such meetings a year we can whole heartedly concurr in their view the post states for years now it has been the practice to hold most meetings relating to municipal affairs at night after the normal work day is over and everyone is weary from its effects it has been suggested in these columns on occasion in the past that more and better work would be accomplished if these meetings were held during the daytime preferably first thing in the morning and we reiterate this recommendation these are days when much is demanded of the average individual during the normal work day and by the time evening rolls around people are anxious to get away from routine affairs and pursue their hobby or favourite form of relaxation so they will be refreshed and ready to meet the demands of another clay those people who so order their lives as to get the important things of each day done early and thus be ready to enjoy the rest which should follow labour will undoubtedly achieve more with a greater degree of efficiency we believe that there is no more important work to be done for the town than that which concerns the town the administration of its affairs and allied interests and we believe that since this work is no longer charitable a not inconsiderate sum being paid for attendance at most meetings the work should be done at a time when it will be handled with greatest efficiency what more suitable time than first thing in the morning when everyone is ready for business what members of our various local governing bodies are there who are willing to advocate such a step true there will likely be some opposition to the proposal on the grounds that most people are too busy to attend meetings during the daytime but we doflbt very much if such an excuse would hold much water if put to the test these meetings could be held more frequently if necessary and for shorter periods of time thus encouraging more efficient pro cedure who can honestly say they are working at their best after three or four hours work which has been done in addition to performing their regular duties isnt keeping alive such a practice unpro- gressive in the light of our knowledge on the subject for results
