comments could test law on longwinded telephone talkers most men feel their wives talk too much on the telephone but they dont pay too much attention to it feeling that if the women get that much pleasure out of it why worry so they smile indulgently and become more engrossed in their paper as the conver- nation goes on and on however recently an incident occurred near sault ste marie involving lengthy phone conversations that had a serious result a little home on the outskirts caught fire and by the time the firemen arrived it had been destroyed the fire chief said it took 20 minutes to get the line to report the fire in that time the fire had gained such a hold that it meant loss of the home and con tents the phone delay was due to the neighbors re porting to each other on the progress of the fire according to the chief those responsible for this selfish stupidity and the loss of the little 1000 home have something on their consciences it seems incredible that people at 6 oclock in the morning would talk about the fire and not clear the line so that the firemen could be contacted vet the same thing could happen here as a matter of fact there is a law now making it illegal to tie up a telephone line under certain condi tions at its- 1954 session the ontario legislature placed restrictive provisions in the telephone act section 89 reads every person who when using a telephone in strument or conversing ever a telephone line whether the telephone instrument or line is owned by a tele phone system under the jurisdiction of the legislature or not refuses to give up or permit the use of the line when requested to do so by the operator or by any other person in the case of a fire accident sickness or other similar emergency is guilty of an offence it remains to be seen now whether this law will be applied in the sault ste marie infraction it -a- 4s ttb gakcttg ernvr give me a dime method of policing the speeding violations parking growth of town need for fulltime service would appear to be just a few of the reasons why stouffville should retain the services of the ontario provincial police if a slightly better financial contract can be arranged for and efforts to arrange such a contract should be attended to now while most citizens will decry the heavy cost of the local police department just as many will tell you that they would certainly hate to be without it the idea that the law can be adequately enforced at all times by a lesser or mere local policeman does not seem to fit the needs of the present day however before our present contract runs out in december council should make some effort to obtain a better contract as 5 per head of population is too much for stouffville to pay it if how much interest in municipal affairs is the lightness of the polling at some municipal elections in recent years the result of people looking upon the federal provincial and municipal govern ments as having ranks with different degrees of im portance some observers suggest that it is of course this impression could be quite wrong some municipal issues and occasionally provincial issues in particular areas occasionally produce some very high polls the time of year at which an election is held may also make a difference nevertheless when crosscountry figures are looked into it is still hard to avoid the original im pression the general tendency of thought seems to be that federal affairs are in the major league and municipal government is the peewee league let us hope that this is not a general state of mind with any permanent quality now is the time we should start remedying the situation with muni cipal elections not so far away we should never be deceived by the familiarity of local government into viewing it with contempt government on the municipal level is regarded by mast thoughtful people as government in its purest and most democratic form for some in office it serves as a training ground for more important posts and for others it presents an opportunity to do true ser vice as a citizen you may not seek office or even take an active part in nominating a fellowcitizen for office but you can and should vote no matter how easy or how difficult it is for you to do st marys journal fr it it so youre going to secure a special speaker perhaps soon you will be given the job of obtain ing a speaker for some special gathering or meeting all along you have known just who you would ask if you had the chance of making the choice perhaps he is a wellknown figure in local politics perhaps he is a person who once lived in your town and would be pleased to make a return visit but the knowing of the right speaker to get and being able to persuade him to come are the first two in a long list of details needed to insure a successful evening too often the program committee chairman lets the matter drop right there and so spells doom to his program here are some suggestions from a contributor of things that should be done in preparation for a special speaker 1 contact him personally by phone or letter at least two weeks in advance 2 tell him specifically what you want him to talk aboqt and give his speech a title one with zip an attentiongetter 3 give him some information about his audience how many may be present their interest their ages the walks of life they represent hell want to fit his remarks to his listeners give him a chance to do so a give him a date time and place of the meeting how to get there and who will meet and introduce him 5 tell him exactly how long he is to talk and how much time to allow for questions 6 give him the names of other speakers their topics and his place on the program 7 supply any other pertinent information about the room the acoustics the facilities for projectors etc 8 of course advise the press concerning the ac ceptance of your bid for this special speaker giving the details and address if necessary so that arrange ments may be made for proper handling of publicity in the matter even a small meeting will get better attention by weekly and daily pre if the renoritr photographer or correspondent covering it knows

well only by experience just as he learns to write by writing or play the piano by practising on it round the time he is old enough to count to keep track of coppers and nickles and dimes he should be given a regular weekly allowance the amount depends on tfie fa thers income the childs age experience the average amount his chums have to spend in a week a six or seven year old might be given five or ten rents a week the little child should not be forced to keep accounts if this appeals to him well and good but there is little value in forcing him to write down his expenditures the essence of an allowance is that it is the childs own money to be spent as he wishes not to be taken away from him as a punishment and he should not be pressed to put part of it aside in order to save a small
