th trihyn svwffrl or thurmav feruary 10 1955 the stouffville tribune established 1883 member of the canadian weekly newspapers association and the ontarioquebec newspapers association member of the audit bureau of circulations a j r i t4 as soriii4ss mall posoffice dpt ottawa printed and issued every thursday at stouffville ont in canada s250 elsewhere 350 c h kcuu editor jss thorns sports a ssst a v nolan son publishers notes and comments weekly newspapers are subject of royal banks monthly letter canada has 965 weekly newspapers with a com bined circulation of 2475140 says the monthly letter the informative bulletin published by the royal bank of canada the january edition of the monthly letter tells a lot about the weekly newspapers and their treat influence on the thought and action of the people of canada the average paper represented in the canadian weekly newspapers association said william h cranston publisher of the midland free pies- herald in an article he wrote for the financial post last august covers 82 per cent of the homes in its trading area has a net paid circulation of under 1500 copies a week and is produced by a staff of fewer than ten the staff usually includes the owner who may be publisher editor printing foreman advertising sales man and genera caretaker combined it can be said that on the whole the weekly press of canada realizes its social responsibility has main tained itself financially and economically so as to he able to withstand official or other interested pressure and does its best to use its freedom actively in the interests of its community suggests the monthly letter it ix ix never underestimate henry an enthusiastic sportsman of the spectator variety decided last fall that he would watch the grey cup game in comfort so he bought a television set costing 300 with aerial and installed it in his base ment recreation room clara his wife had decreed that the set go there because the children would naturally be the most constant televiewers so far so good but as the weeks went by henry and clara found they were spending more and more of their evening hours in the basement and fewer and fewer in the living room the recreationroom had been good enough for the children but was too dingy for the lord and lady of the manor or their guests claras new decree called for panelling painting and new lighting the contractor made a pleasant room of it and pocketed 500 clara was a little frightened at the rate they were now spending money and her next idea was on the economical side the recreationroom obviously had to have new furniture lo match the new decorations but their livingroom furniture was almost new and as the were spending most of their time downstairs why not take the furniture downstairs too down it went at no cost except to henrys tem per however clara is a native of ottawa and has flexible ideas of economy henry got a christmas bonus sufficient to make a good downpayment on 1200 worth of new livingroom furniture henrys personal share of the bonus is a new tie the situation is static for the moment but henry has moments of clairvoyance when he forsees that the new furniture in the living room will call for redecora tion there and after that the rest of the ground floor will look shabby in comparison and then sometimes henry wishes he had paid speculators prices for grey cup tickets last fall the printed word fr k it a fine organization lob ever take a strol down to the arena about one oclock on a saturday if youd take the trouble to do so you would see a real fine organization job ac complished by members of the stouffville lions club and others there are one hundred boys and more there every saturday to a casual onlooker the event may not appear serious but these young lads really take it seriously parents will tell you these boys are sometimes ready hours before its time to go to the arena not much help is needed to get ready and no urging needed to be on time few people appreciate the work of organizing and directing such activities however there are those few who do take a great pride and interest in such work and need no more pay than the gratitude and satisfac tion which comes out of such activities many have devoted years as real community builders in this type of work and fortunate is the town which can boast an unlimited supply of such people as they do eventually retire and others must take their place there is never an oversupply and there are always openings most of these men and we might include women too as many of them ae engaged in similar work among the girls in various organizations get a deep satisfaction out of the work they get a real bang out of it and are not too worried whether they are appreciated or not do parents appreciate this work being done for their children a great many of them do although they may not show it outwardly however the odd pat on the back now and then from some of these appreciative parents would not be out of place parents on the whole would do well to show more interest and give more encouragement to those who arc carrying on these activities it costs little to put in an appear ance or give a helping hand items from bygone days from the files of the the free press nov 20 1896 between 300 and 00 men are working on the extension of the electric railway to rlch- mond hill they

mora on a sttrer ajad i tstwt rrttbxt either for parents onit feeding birds in winter have you discovered what fun it i to feed the birds in the winter even the most common of little feathered friends are o appreciative of scraps from your kitchen and you may have the thrill of be- ins host to some of our rarer cold weather birds after a heavy fall of snow when a thick icy crust forms on the surface many wild birds may search in vain for enough nourishment to keep alive this often happens late in february or march when a thaw is fol lowed by a freezeup sweep a little patch near your back door clear of snow throw out crumbs rolled oats tiny scraps of food this unexpected feast may save a few feathered friends from perishing from hunger hut providing food for the birds does not have to be only an emergency measure when they need human aid it can become a fascinating hobby for old and young alike it is a wonderful activity for a child who is confined to bed by a long sickness a boy in the neighborhood who started to feed the birds in his backyard when he was ill found in bird watching a wonderfully satisfying hobby his whole family rejoiced in his new interest and cooperated in his plans for a food container and provisions for his bird friends a sunflower head fastened in a tree is a wonderful source of food for chickadees a cocoa- nut can be drained of its milk by boring several holes and then filled with peanut butter bread crumbs and seeds suet may he hung in a loosely cro cheted string bag or the kind of a container onions are often sold in avoid wire mesh hold ers as on subzero days a birds feet or even his eyelids might be seriously damaged by being stuck to the metal it is not hard lo make a satis factory wooden feeding tray all that is needed is a solid floor a raised moulding around it forming a little wall so the food will not blow away a roof and at least one sidewall to provide protection from snow rain and wind quite often the food tray is fastened on the outside window ledge or on a pole or hung by a strong wire from a tree it is possible to use a double wire by nancy cleaver with a pully arrangement simi lar to a clothes line fasten the far end to a tree and pull it in to a window verandah then you can fill the tray and after wards pull it out to the tree where the shy birds are more likely to come sometimes a cat pounces on a bird when the birds atten tion is focused on eating a deep band of tin around the pole or trunk of the tree pre vents a cat from climbing it and a strip of tin at fortyfive degree angle around the bot tom of the feeding box accomp lishes the same purpose cats or squirrels cannot reach a container hung from a strong wire in choosing the location for a feeding tray remember that the birds need shelter in the bad weather you will want it where you can watch them from a window and where you can easily replenish their food supply it is possible to make a food hopper for dry supplies such as seeds which will drop down into an opening as the birds remove the lower sup plies crushed eggshells and grit or line sand are needed by birds to digest their food they re quire drinking water too even in the freezing weather and in the winter often find it hard to find a wooden mixing bowl is a good water container and you can add hot water to melt its surface as it freezes over birds just like people have favorite foods suet is liked by woodpeckers chickadees nut hatches and titmice cardinals towhees and blackbirds delight in sunflower seeds and broken peanuts robins catbirds her mit thrushes are partial to pieces of apple and orange cur rants and raisins bread crumbs and scratch feed are quickly ealen by finches juncos and sparrows but there are a great many food scraps such as otato and apple parings and bacon rind which are often thrown in uhe garbage that birds would ap preciate bits of any kind of fat meat hard boiled eggs or cheese are real delicacies pum pkin and squash seeds rolled oats broken pieces of pastry cookies even dog biscuits pro vide nourishing morsels rest luck to you and your bird friends business directory dental out in the rain there is an interesting and somewhat pathetic incident in the life of thomas carlyle where he tells of how he stood outside his home listening to his father leading family devotions while he himself was out in the rain somewhat critical of what was going on inside the house carlyle was a born critic and he was swift in judgments on other people later in life when writing to a young man he urged him to be patient and charitable he said don t set into the habit of sneering at piple 1 have done far too much snickering at people myself not long ago a distant relative of mine came over from england on a short business trip he arrived at my home on a sunday morning and as i had an engagement to preach at a i small rural church about 20 miles away i invited him to come along like the man in the bible story he began to make excuses the chief one was that he had led such a busy life he had got away completely from the churchgoing habit he said 1 havent been to a church six times in the last twenty years he came along anyway and he was greatly interested in what he saw it was an anniversary occasion and the little church was overcrowded chairs had to be put in the aisles is that against the law remember the building was full before the hour of service my nonchurch going relative was amazed he watched the faces of the worshippers especially during the singing of hymns and the atmosphere of the service and warm fellowship which followed was a new experience for him on the way home he said to me i dont begin to understand it but those people got a great thrill out of it all he told me that in bis neighborhood on the outskirts of london all his friends mowed their lawns and loafed around on sunday mornings and none of them were churchgoers i took that with a pinch of salt for i was brought up in the north of england and on our street there were dozens of families that were regular in their church attendance my friend returned to england in about two weeks time he is a fine fellow and i like him but i am wondering if he is returning to his golf and loafing around on sundays he was not critical of what he saw that afternoon he just didnt understand it he looked on rather wistfully almost enviously all the time wondering what these people had that he was missing like thomas carlyle he felt he was out in the rain and he would like to be inside his attitude reminded me of what i once heard a preacher say no matter how beautiful stained glass windows may be and some are exquisite they must be seen from the inside to be appreciated looked at from the outside they are not at all impressive the apostle paul once wrote a letter to some christians ol his day in which he urged his readers to remember them that are without paul did not want these christians to be smug and selfcomplacent they had a responsibility for out siders he knew that the very essence of christs teaching was that the gospel message was for everybody perhaps he had heard of the masters words go ye into the highways and hedgeways and compel them to come in there are a lot of people out in the rain and it is too bad for everybody concerned perhaps those people on the inside arc partly to blame
