comments best piece of boys work in town best piece of boys work being done in town cer tainly sportswise is being done by the stouffville lions club which inaugurated the peewee nhl for another winter on saturday morning there is a need for some group to take up the hockey work among boys from 14 years up and we believe that funds could be made avail able from various sources in town if some group would shoulder the responsibility of the actual work two years to build the official opening of the new stouffville high school which was scheduled for this week has been postponed indefinitely as the school is not completed markham board did not even get around to setting a tentative date it seems ridiculous but true that these two schools have been on the go for nearly two years anil it would appear that 1955 may be here before full completion is accomplished while both boards suffered a setback due to the failure of the original contractor lax superintending of the firms and architects can be the only answer to such prolonged delay and one would think the boards might expect some redress from the fabulous sum paid the architects for allowing the job to linger so long ik the colored leaves the impression still persists that the coloring of the leaves of autumn is due to frost as a matter of fact leaves on many trees took on brilliant hues long before there wis a frost botanists tell us natures colorful pageantry every autumn can be boiled down to a simple cause accumu lation of sugar the coloring in general is a result of breakdown processes this is how they explain it in preparation for winter a small cork layer forms at the base of each leaf actually healing the wound treated by the leafs separation before it breaks off this rork slows the natural processes in the leaf the chloro- phyl or green coloring disappears and yellows hidden by the green all summer come into view sugar formed in the leaf is prevented by the cork layer from getting down into the plant and in conjunction with a cyanide complex forms a brilliant red dye deeper shades of red indicate more sugar in the leaf as the breakdown process continues and the leaf dies a brown color is formed fr an iii wind one of the reasons some people think cutting gov ernment costs should be easy is because government does a number of things which dont seem important to them one of the reasons economizing in government is not easy as this newspaper has often pointed out is because many things the government does do seem very im portant to other people and these people are often quite numerous and they demand in concert that such things be done take the weather bureau thinking perhaps only of forecasts alerting business men to their office costume and baseball fans to the prospects for the evening congress has persistently pared down its appropriations perhaps with some sense of relief for to pare down national defence faces perils veterans benefits have an organized lobby behind them but the weather bureau had to wait on hurricane carol that tempestuous lady suddenly picked up speed during the wee sma hours of august 31 while new englanders slept and smashed into that region after daylight taking a toll of 60 lives and 5500000000 in property then the question exploded could the region involved have been better warned the new york times interviewed some 40 experts in the field of weather prediction most of them in dependently employed and published its findings in three articles it found general agreement that the weather bur eau had used good judgment and done very well with what it had but it hadnt and hasnt the money even to fix up the surplus radar sets the navy has given it or to replace its old 60wordperminute teletypes with machines that will send data ten times faster there is doubt however that with the knowledge possessed today even more and better stations and instruments can tell just what a hurricane is goingto do the key is research and the weather bureau has been so starved for funds that the navy and air force have had to undertake their own specialized variety which means that little is being done on problems with out direct
