rf iters Notebook A small Item on the front of last week of the Mated Because of a pre the Era and Ex published late That was a short colorless announcement un- dmtfttemem The story behind more Interesting In fact when we look back at It now reminds of one of film stories about the sinking the Titanic foreman had come up from the press room to announce that a part hid broken off the newspaper press So a part had broken Von the press the thing to do was to get another part and get going everybody thought Parts had broken off presses before But like the early part of a dramatization of the sinking of the Titanic no one knew of the dark significance behind the bit of damage When that first in- detent happened at am on Thursday morning of the year no one knew that fend of the final press run would be hours and min utes later at six oclock Friday morning And for some there was no i est in that time Things might have been Thursday might have been a normal press day if that little part had not broken if the new little part replac ing the old little part had not broken if the only mechanic available at the type foundry in Toronto had not gone to lunch Van hour early if someone could have told that another little part had broken causing aforementioned two little parts to break if the old Miehle press which is to be re tired from newspaper service at the end of next week could have lasted for two more issues Yes there were many its which might have made things different Already three and a half hours later than the start of the final pro S3 run some time Thursday afternoon that new From the Files of little port mentioned was Installed on the press Of course quantities of gears wheels housings nuts and bolts had been removed and replaced to Install that little part A man hod broken all limits to Toronto and back to obtain the little whatsit that was broken Some hovered around others chewed nails as the press was started up again She wound up to full speed ready to dis charge papers into the arms of ravenous reading public already annoyed at the lateness of the paper Then came those horrible sounds from ma chine crash crunch squeak the little part had brok en again That was the last straw Three hours later wo were with a crew from the back shop roaring down highway to wards Brampton in two cars and Mr Lou Stephens truck armed with the newspaper forms a pail of ink stock and an almost vengeful determina tion were headed for the Peel Gazette where there was another old ungrateful press of the same model and type as ours We are grate ful to the owners of the Peel Gazette for letting us use their And it was so that the Era was printed last week by Friday at am or some time after the sun had come up When Mr Squires from Main Street North called in that af ternoon we knew that it had been worth it Said Mr Squires I dont know which more important the local paper or television He told us that he had called several times at the neighbor hood store Thursday night to see if the paper was on the news stand He also paid a boy a nickel twice to go to the news stand bothered me so much that couldnt concentrate on the television set We always read the paper Thursday night he said Advertisers please note 25 and 50 Years Ago t May market Aspara gus Ibis for lb butter eggs honey lb apples basket pan box asters petunias tomato

NINETEEN HUNDRED AND DANGER FROM ANARCHY Di Harvey who writes Our Side of the Story for the Era and Express has been in Europe the past few weeks His article last week described democ racy as being somewhere between anarchy and tyranny Pointing out that the first duty of government is to govern to maintain order he states If a country seems to be drifting into anarchy as France seems to be to day the people may lose their faith in democracy The demagoguedictator then gets his chance Since the pipeline issue came up in parliament in Canada there lias been criticism of the governments highhanded attempts in rushing through a bill that was late because of the government and of the oppo sitions irresponsible tactics in delaying the bill Times change and how the government governs or the opposi tion performs its duty may bo right in one decade and wrong in another We quote Dr Harvey Since we must steer a middle course between dictatorship and anarchy we must always ask ourselves which side are we threatened In our fear of dictatorship we must not forget the danger of anarchy And to meet the danger of anarchy we must strengthen the execu tive A step towards strong government may be a step towards dictatorship but it is also a step away from anarchy And it seems plain that democracy today is in far greater danger from anarchy than from dictator ship Irresponsibility on the part of the opposition in the Canadian parliament can increase that danger in Canada BODY VS MIND Circumstances in the community affairs of New market have reached an odd point where there are funds to provide a heating unit for the local arena but not sufficient funds to buy needed books for the public library An air conditioning unit is proposed for the town hall but wash room facilities cannot be provided to open the basement of the new library building for public meetings the music appreciation group hand craft group and other community organizations At present there is a shortage of accommodation for small public meetings the town hall being used by the court is not always available The library basement could be used frequently by clubs and organizations such as the ratepayers group in the Lyons subdivision It is to hoped that the recent financial prob lems and council storms will not prevent the new library building and the library itself from giving the best service to the public At present it cannot give the kind of service it should be giving of un avoidable costs concerning drainage around the founda tion of the new building basement washroom facilities were not installed The necessary plumbing was in stalled for future washrooms but the work was not completed so that money could be saved The budget does not permit the purchase of new books The board had asked for a budget this year but council cut it down to With that amount of money the board can pay the staff and keep the building open but it can do no more The purchase of now books must be made next year it seems It might be pointed out that as a result of recent circumstances the minds of our citizens particularly the young ones who often use the library are being neglect ed in favor of the physical comfort of others Those who will be watching hockey games at the arena and those who sit through the court and council sessions at town hall receive preference these days It would not be correct nor would it be fair to deduce that this is the policy of our community leaders nevertheless it is the way of Newmarket at present DUE CREDIT A large portion of the taxes paid in Newmarket today are for new schools required for the growing population The high costs today are attributed to rapid expansion of residential areas two years ago with little commercial and industrial development What made matters worse was the fact that no levy for gen eral municipal purposes was made on each new resi dential building lot when the expansion started It has not been pointed out recently that when the application was made for the first large residential de velopment on the west side of town the public school board recommended that a municipal levy be made on each new building lot in the subdivision The board realized that additional school accommodation would be needed Other municipalities near Toronto had adopted policies to make such levies which were being paid by subdividers Newmarket town council at that time did not follow the boards recommendation NO PROMOTION HERE A comment was heard recently to the effect that an editorial appearing in this newspaper might have killed the possibility of the town being chosen for a new industrial site Expansion of Newmarket would be advantageous to this publication as a business it was pointed out The editorial contained material which should have been made known to the public The editorial policy of this newspaper is not designed to promote a publishing company Business promotion can be done by means other than an editorial policy OUR SIDE OF THE STORY PREREQUISITES OF WORLD DEMOCRACY One of the appealing of modern aspirations the of a United World a world of which Tennyson Bang the no longer and the were furled In the Parliament of Man Federation of the world A number of bold spirits In organization called United World Federalists propose to set up a world government at once They propose tho type of government suggested by Tennyson democratic federal ism Hut they forget that are proposing a most difficult form of government and ex pecting it operated sue by people who have had no experience with It no training for it proposing to erect a building before thoy laid tho foun dation The first requisite for sue democracy exist ence of a community spirit In a world democracy community spirit means a feeling of hu man solidarity That In turn means shift In our primary loyalty from our nation to mankind Instead of thinking of our country as the moat pre cious thing in world en gaged in ft struggle with other nations wo must think of mankind as a in competition with dork forces of poverty sick ness and suffering Instead of in mili tary victories which mean de feats for others we must learn to seek victory of civiliza tion over intolerance ignorance and superstition especially the superstition of race superi ority History text books must center attention on the achieve ments of civilisation and on the of science and of the instead of on wars and conquests Wo havo token a few steps toward that goal hut only a few Another necessary condition for the smooth functioning of democracy is a respect for knowledge and for tho scien tific method of arriving at knowledge Science is the na tural antidote for dogmatism and intolerance Only the scientific approach will enable us to cure evils as poverty that will have to be ended if democracy is to survive One of greatest obstacles to progress Is mo tion that social and economic problems can be solved by kindness Most people now ad mit that a burst appendix re quires medical treatment but there are still people among us who think that poverty con bo eradicated by shouting slogans like There Is enough for everyones need hut not for everyones variety of ways of living and acting which may bo at vari ance with ours Democracy also requires the development of its own specific virtues tolerance and devo tion to liberty And that means not only freedom of speech without which democ racy is of course impossible but also toleration of a great Perhaps the most difficult prerequisite of all Is rigid ad herence to constitutional pro cedures and constitutional morality A world government would have to be federal In form and the individual states would have to be left in posses sion of far more powers than hove been left with the states or provinces of any federation know to history Countries like Canada Aus tralia and the United States would not In any near future agree- to let a world govern ment regulate such matters as tariffs and Immigration edu cation and social services Out therein lies a major dif ficulty poor peoples of the world per capita annual income under outnum ber comfortable by more than four to one Wo could not expect them to accept a con stitution for the world stato that would leave us hi control And It unlikely that our immigration laws would ap pear just to those peoples In that event we would have no sure protection In constitution al history of the Soviet Union and of most of Latin America shows that constitu tional guarantees do not actu ally guarantee anything Un less people have a deep- rooted reverence for the const tution and for the courts byWB Harvey men who control the armed force would reshape the con stitution to suit themselves And in a world state the individual countries would have turned over their arms to the central government that government dominated as it would be by underprivileg ed would break down our migration barriers Hence another prerequisite for world democracy is tol erable standard of living for all countries And by I mean at least three times as high as It now is In most of Asia and Africa Average in comes In many of these coun tries are now less than one tenth of ours Until those in comes are raised the Ideal of world government must remain a dream or become a night for the now prosperous countries The basic cause of poverty is overpopulation Some of tho world poorest people liv ing oil the worlds richest land Java and Nilo delta No- ihiiu but their excessive birth- rate prevents them from liv ing in comfort Hut as long as glaring contrast between their lot and ours remains win make it pear that wo to blame We may make a slight alter ation In Lincolns famous state ment without affecting its es sentia truth A nation or a world cannot endure half in starvation and half In luxury state is the servant not of people the ie their guarantee against infringement on their rights their agent in international and national iatuca it is not the function of the state to the Won of those aetivitiee tut on individual choice z Burying Groun One more Burying Ground York County has been turned into a beauty spot In Septem ber a number of the de scendants of those pioneers who rest in the little burial place of the Children of Peace on County Highway immediately south of vill age of Sharon organized them selves into an association their purpose the restoration of this neglected ground It now a credit to the community to the families represented and La an added historical attraction This year the association ban erected a handsome sign Sharon Burying Ground AD This date is the earliest available relative to the estab lishment of cemetery in connection with which the names of Robert and Israel the first

George Pearson of for the actual work of clearing away the wild shrubbery rais ing and the fallen stones planting bulbs and painting the hand some iron fence which was the separate contributions of tho late John Smith of St Cathar ines and of Vancouver Appreciation Is also express ed to the township of East for their contri bution by spraying the weeds When one past the these spring days a feeling of peace is reflected in the smooth green surface the white memorials outlined against this background and brightened by the brilliantly- colored flowers all in keeping with neatly tailored ap pearance of Sharon founded by these pioneers of long ago On Saturday June the annual meeting of the as sociation was held at Sharon The financial report was en- a good balance re mains in the bank

tion to this or will for it Should by who the wealth beauty of the It to who in the burying ground by their courage their sacrifice the dangers faced and the hard backbreaking work that the debt is owing At the meeting on Saturday those present went on record as deploring the tendency to ward losing the historical names of roads in the district It was therefore resolved to contact the reeve and council of East regarding the matter The third conces sion of East was named in 1808 as Queen Street and from an early date the fourth was known as Union St In the confusion of modern speed and newcomers who are not familiar with the historical background of the township this Queen Street is being call ed Don Mills Road This asso ciation asks that signs be plac ed at proper intervals so that It will henceforth be plain to the travelling public that the name Queen St is both legal and historical by Dairy Farmer The Top Six Indies There are some thorny prob lems involved in trying to plan crops and work what with the late season and the wet and cold weather This Is the year when it has been almost im possible to put in spring grain and there is just a chance that corn planting wont be any easier While it is quite pos sible to either do without or buy grain since this weather condition is probably local is frightening to contemplate what will happen to haying if we happen to have one of those years when hay wont make We do not know the solution but there must be one some where One possibility is to put all the grass and hay down in the form of grass silage and hoy silage It is a messy and smelly project but it is one that could give enough feed for next winter Then if the sec ond half of the year gets bet ter just try and get some sec ond cut hay and get by with a lot of silage and a little hay Another possibility would be to leave the cows in a paddock and bring all the green stuff to them a practice that is known as zero This procedure would save on pas ture provided that the fields dry out enough to put heavy machines on them There is also a possibility of growing a more than usual amount of corn silago and waiting until it freezes dry to blow it into the silo or if late enough into the barn Actually we think that most of trouble we having dales back to last years dry season There wasnt too much pasture late last summer and when it mined again we pas tured heavily on what there was The result was that pastures went into a rather early winter with little re serve This spring it is prob ably more the luck of reserve than the cold weather that Is holding them back We put two applications of fertilizer on our pastures and some even had a bit of manure last winter yet there isnt too much growth to it We have to admit though that there doesnt seem to bo very much luscious growth what there is has a lot of milk in it cows coming from bam where they werent really starved jumped enough In pro duction to be astonishing This springs experience so far has convinced us or rather should soy Is trying to con vince us of something that has been obvious lo many a good farmer that tho secret of good pasture is tho treatment it gets in fall Just as much as the secret of a cows production Is what treatment she has when dry real is as we see it that any one of the pos sible solutions to this years trouble is going to mean heavy equipment or extra labbr both of which will cost money al though the one la more available titan the second one For example to do graz ing and haul the green fodder to the cows means wagons and a forage harvester To cut it with the mower and pitch it on by hand means wagons and extra labor Is there a silver lining to the cloud Well wo could have a reasonably good wheat crop we could have a good year to put seeds down something we didnt have last year This late cool spring is certainly the proper weather for it provided it gets on at all In the meantime all can do is hope and we have a feel ing that this weather could cut the population too If it lasts long enough it can even cut the farm population Aurora Has ByLaw For Protection The report of the Ontario Fire Marshalls office concerning the fire hazards on
