of hour later we managed to extract the evidence piece by are assuming he jumped halfway down the hill In the true style of a para chute jumper he hit the ground and rolled All this would be humorous but for the fact that he jumped on glare ice and we are still wondering why he did not slide under the back Now we wonder how children grow up- There are hazar and there will be more hazards The best thing for his parents to do is not let him out of their sight When he turned on the key the car in second gear the tried to shift the gear lever without success were that he knew about the Files of We

cake had been put in the oven at our house and we were looking for ward to a pretty good dinner that night You probably can guess the rest The cake was half baked and thrown cut and when we arrived home we said some nasty things about Ontario hydro One would think that the Hydro might give some warning about a cutoff when they know ahead of time what is being done Incidentally it was not a crew

school population in September which were presented at a meeting of the school board on Tuesday night show that every class room in the towns five schools will be in use The re port was presented by A Jackson supervising princi pal When the J Bell school was considered an estimate of school population was taken by the board which showed that by the end of five years an additional 10 rooms would be needed Bather than wait for the situation to come when classes might have to be stag- or some other emergency accommodation found the board began immediate preparations to build the school The population increase expected over the five- year period has occurred this year The school popula- at the end of February was Approximately of these will graduate from grade eight in the Spring leaving to continue their studies in the public schools Basing the estimates of t h 1956 kindergarten population on this years Mr Jackson said that six classes are expected This would require three class rooms with a group meeting in the morning and another in the afternoon in each room Dividing the remainder of the present population without allowance for the new children coming to town and children to a classroom it will take rooms so that all of the 38 classrooms in the Newmarket public schools will be in use in September By setting the figure at it allows for a class to be increased by another

AUXILIARY THE YORK COUNTY Hospital Auxiliary received commendation at the annual meeting of the hospital board this year Board members expressed appreciation for the tangible contributions to the hospital in the form of furnishings and equipment and for its effective assistance in the form of good public relations At the moment the Auxiliary is seeking volunteers for the operation of a tuck shop where patients may purchase cigarettes candy and sundries The shop would be operated during visiting hours in the afternoon and evening The more volunteers the easier the job will be volunteers are asked to telephone Mrs W O Noble The Auxiliary is typical of many organi zations in the district which help to make a better com munity NO IMMEDIATE PROVINCIAL HELP NEWMARKET AND other municipalities in York County are supporting Auroras request for provincial aid in developing new sources of water supply Aurora has requested that the province assist in piping water from Lake Simcoe or any other body of water Mem bers of Newmarket council supported the request be lieving that it might speed up the provinces move to assist municipalities There is little hope however that the assistance will come in the near future Councillor Belugin said that the water shortage is as much a federal problem as it is provincial The federal government introduced the National Housing Act which had enabled subdividers to build houses in this areacausing a water shortage He was not criti cizing the housing development but the fact that water was not considered in locating the subdivisions here They should have been located where water was avail able he said The truth is that until recently the water supply never was questioned in Newmarket except by Councillor and once by Charles VanZant when he was chairman of the town water committee by Dairy Farmer The Top Six Inches at There is a lot and some very thinking is hems done to find a to the Tost problem of the dairyman milk producer and that is how to keep ahead the increasing cost of production with a pro duct that is sold at a govern ment fixed price This problem is further complicated the fact that the sulk shed is close to the large populated areas and thus the dairy farmer has to compete for labor with in dustry Yesterday we heard of a new angle or approach to the prob lem and we will give it to you for what its worth A man ships milk from cows He breeds the ones he does breed at all to a Hereford He doesnt raise its replacements and buys cows when he must at small dispersals He is a shrewd judge of cattle and doesnt make loo many mis takes in picking his cattle He is very happy Most of his cows he doesnt breed at alL He claims that he gets about lbs of milk more per year if he milks them right out with out carrying calves He has no expenses for breeding doesnt have to keep a bull has no breeding troubles and really very little invested in his main moneymaking tool cattle He can use all the space he has for just the animals that produce and ho doesnt have to spend money labor or provide feed and housing for animals that are not milking get per yea from cattle that lass than half of this faults with the one confronting hint is of course to buy Weil have seen soma grade cows hetweea and at the present he replacement cheap From the of whole daisy- feraisng the is Arho the replacements If they are unprofitable to raise at all how are we going tw continue inx proving the producing ability our cattle After aH this man can do this because many farm ers and breeders ahead of him breed the cows he can now pro fitably milk It may be that the sort of situation he is taking good ad vantage of is temporary and it he had to pay or even 30O for replacements he would have to start breeding his best cows But this mans case does- bring up that very important problem of raising replacements and points out the general dif faculties under which the dairy farmer who is a breeder has to- operate Could it be in the dairy industry we moving toward a solution would mean thet establishment of dairy cattle nurseries One would take the- calves there the very best cows and pay the man much for raising them it may be cheaper than doing it ourselves OUR SIDE OF THE STORY A LABOR COURT INSTEAD OF STRIKES The strike of General Motors employees in Canada is over For days it kept out production workers and several million dollars worth capital Perhaps this would be a good time to consider an al ternative to strikes By the strike and the threat of strike unions have unques tionably made gains for their Hence any proposal to limit the right to is sure to encounter opposition It will be said What if the right to strike Is a special privi lege Our society is a tissue of special privileges Manufac turers have tariff protection Minora have subsidies Farm ers have floor prices Why away the only privilege labor The question Is a good one The answer is that wo should not tolerate the special privileges Any limitation on the right to strike must bo part of a broad program of social justice a program based on the clear fuel that you can never arrive at justice by In creasing the number of privi leged groups There Is always the newcomer the little fellow the unorganized worker who is Iho victim be a more vigorous attack on monopolies and special privi leges There can be little doubt that the strikes in the auto in dustry were partly due to the desire of the to share in the growing profits of Ford General Motors Who is to that the workers should not share In those Anyone can see that the profits of the auto industry are the result an unduly high tariff Provided the other forms of special privileges were being eliminate some limitation on the freedom to might reasonably be imposed After all the right to strike is a spe cial privilege It gives unions the right to indulge In monopoly practices It exempts the unions from liability for damages And in fact gives the unions right to close the plants of cm This favored position was granted labor on assump tion that labor was lowin come group in need of special protection Would it to deny lie privilege of striking to people whoso earnings are above average Would seriously American Airlines pilots arc ft downtrodden exploited group needing the special pri vilege of the strike They wore Further we must eliminate conditions that make manual making between and workers feel the need of tho 19000 per annum when they strike weapon For example immigration must he strictly limited Likewise there must struck A substitute for might be found in a Labor Court with power to rule on all demands for increases in wages A Court unlike an Arbitra tion Board operates on the basis of law Our labor law would have to provide the Court with a basis for its de cisions The law would have to set up criteria for judging when an in wages should bo ordered One cri terion should be cost liv ing All wage contracts ought to contain provisions for vary ing tho wage with changes in the cost of living Another cri terion could be found In the de mand for labor relative to sup- Labor Court would servo purpose for which labor unions first formed it would seek to set wages at the highest level at which nil qualified workers would bo to find employment In other words wago rates would be set at the levels that would result from fair bargaining bo- men There can hardly be fair bar gaining between a single work and General Motors Un employed men at the end of their resources arc hardly free Hence the Justification for unions collective bargaining and the right to Hut the has not been what was anticipated Bargaining be tween the United Auto Work ers and General Motors is bar- by Harvey gaining between a labor mon opoly and a giant corporation There is no reason in theory or experience to think that bar gaining between such giants will result in justice What is almost certain is that the un ionized workers especially those in strategic jobs will ob tain relatively high wages while lowpaid unorganiz ed workers who need some pro tection do not get In Workers should not have to endure the hardship of a strike to get justice A Labor Court would have power to order wage Increases for nil kinds of labor whether organized or not whenever there were not enough qualified workers to meet the demand In the opposite case the Court would refuse to order an in crease in wages and refuse to sanction a strike RED BOOM AT It should perhaps bo added that any system of setting wages in accord with demand and supply would not be in times of mass unem ployment or If the general standard of living were at the starvation level In country with high living standards and with employ- at high levels a Labor Court
