Pages from the Notebook and a J We helped to build and paint the set this week for Arms and the Man which the Newmarket Dramatic chili is presenting on the town nail stage tonight and Friday and Saturday nights As well as learning lines and attending rehearsals those who are taking part in the produc tion have been painting scenery searching for pieces of furniture and other proper ties making some of the costumes sweeping the floors and selling tickets It can be said that it truly is a workshop production because Tuesday night the leading lady dressed in overalls was on the top step of a ladder painting a flat for the set and the leading man was sawing a doorway leading into a Bulgarian garden The future of the Dramatic club is none too certain it seems because no new members are coming along to replace the tired veterans Those who are now active and most interested are busy people There are too few people to do the work In our own case we find it a strain to learn lines from Shaw be tween editorials and most mem bers of the cast swear This will be the last one for me Where are the young bloods who are keen about the drama We hope that the species is not dying out We also hope that the Dramatic club will not die It has a long and interest ing history behind it and has made a substantial contribution to community culture hope for a good membership next year- age of a

editors Are editors inclined to steer clear of community criticism more than they did a few years ago and a weekly editor sits on the fence on local issues is he being diplomatic or weakkneed Tat- ham editor of the Banner says We suppose a person should reach for his crutches in order to stand like a man and suggest contrary to public belief weekly editors of today are not inclined to steer clear of com munity criticism Mr Tatham goes on to say the following if Where tft wsfc paved roads sidewalks and sewers was paid by the general taxes collected Today if residents mimic pal services they must pay half or more than half of the cost in the forrftoxtraitax payments spread over yearamore The remainder of the cost is paid by the taxes This fe called the local improvement fail that some residents are paying the same taxes or higher taxes and receiving fewer services But the days are gone forever when the resident for what he gets in this period rapid developnienfc the municipality

so fast that well eat ourselves off progress happen Mail might superior wjjolo- their The approach today is much more subtle The knock em down and drag em out battles of the past between editor and irate customer in a newspapers front office are on the wane now if the going becomes rough a quick call goes forth for a solicitor Since the average weekly newspaper usually has very close ties with municipal council reporting monthly council meet ings printing the minutes running bylaws printing ballots and the like diplomacy plays a large part in any negotiation for dealing a blow for the taxpayer The newspaper however should guard the tax payer at every turn not necessarily making policy but keeping an ever watchful eye on the administration The one ever wins at war but dont be on the losing side its parallel a newspaper can be neitligf for nor against but it had better be the right move as far as the taxpayers are concerned NO CUREALL The Statesman The Dominion Government is wise in refusing to stampeded into launching a program of public works m to relieve the unemployment we have today Our ex during the depression should have taught us that the construction of public works is one of the most costly and one of the least effective means of creating employment and should not be resorted to except in extreme cases We have unemployment today because some of our industries are unable to sell their products at prices hat will cover their costs I There is unemployment in the shipping industry because it costs so much to operate Canadian ships that nobody will buy their services is unemployment in the agricultural implement industry because the farmers who buy its products have had their incomes reduced so drastically during the last two years that they can no longer afford to buy the products of work- els whose wages have actually been rising while the farmers incomes were falling Unemployment threatened in many other triebecause they cant sell their products at the prices they tore asking No amount will per- Canadian shipping interests to we ships ocean so much to operate them No amount of works will enable farmers to buy toplemeuMv ore such earn- as the

night he had his appendix removed and was resting comfortably in the hos pital the York County hospital at Newmarket We wonder how many of us realize that just one generation ago these operations were still performed in The hospital must be in the country on the kitchen healed or treated or just re assured We all take the hospital for granted and on back or ray room we are looking to see the crowded rooms and we dont know of people who are waiting to- get table We wonder many people in to go without the care provides just didnt make it was no hospital nearby Of course this is oversimpli fying things a bit There was also no penicillin and no sulfa drugs However the develop ment of the hospitals and that of medicine in general went hand hand and today the hospital and the medical men are as important a part of the community a there is That is what makes the prosperous dis trict around Newmarket an ad vanceel community farming and in industry We are prejudiced when it comes to the hospital first be cause we like the place and be cause we have some happy memories in connection with it We remember being looked af ter well and all our children were born there We remem ber the unreasonable and fool ish pride with which we looked at our first son when he was a few hours old Since then we learned that babies that age are not nearly as handsome as calves We remember all the occa sions when we had to take I here sick or hurt in acci dents on the farm and seeing made larger because more people in country and because and more diffi a Toronto also must be on cause as medico
