rt Notebook MEMBER a and a Aurora Lions Tie St Marys In Ontario Bantam B Finals We spent considerable time at Newmarket arena during the Figure Skating club carnival on the weekend There we saw Mr Stan Smith handling some of the routine problems which go with being an arena manager Being the manager of an arena owned by the public and operat ed under a policy which says that it must pay for itself and at the same time provide recre ation for everyone at least something close to that is not an easy job The arena has a heating sy stem now Some people tell Mr Smith that its too cold and others say it gets too hot Mr Smith turns valves on and off about a often as a locomotive engineer And of course he is in a posit ion to receive all kinds of advice about the operation of this pub lic arena free of charge too vice comes from all sorts or members of the public who are part owners of the arena We sometimes think that it is tough being an editor Dealing with the public from the editors chair one takes abuse frequently but we editors learn to roll with the punches and it doesnt both er us much Being an arena manager is tough loo You never know whether the public thinks you are doing a good job or not Most of the time you have the im pression that they dont think you are doing a good job But as in most jobs with responsibility if you follow your own honest advice you are alright From the Files of during intermission carnival They presented a fine performance and while listening to the bandsmen play we thou ght that this town is fortunate to have such an organization The members of the band en joy their music and they enjoy playing at a gathering in New market They probably enjoy a com pliment or two once in a while and that is what we are doing now on behalf of the audience Monday night Whenever there is a parade or when dignitaries come to town the town fathers usually Well lets get the band out Members of the band give their time on these occasions and we suppose that they are taken for granted at times For the num ber participating the band also receives a relatively small grant from the town We are proud of Newmarkets band and its leader The Express

Joseph Wood painter years ago this coming summer and for the first five years after occupied by the Era print ing office and residence of Mr Jackson remember rightly the late Robert under the superintendence of the late J T Stokes did the carp enter work Not more than a score of people men women and children resided in New market at that time are now liv ing here the exception of Mr Joseph Millard and the then publisher of the Era not a busi ness man of fifty years ago is now to be seen upon our streets Trout Preserve Spoiled The Newmarket Club that owned a Trout Preserve on the of Whitchurch have had a good deal of trouble and expense for nothing About five years ago they put a large quantity of trout into the pond and the fish were just getting a nice sie but the darn broke a

Edna Pringle Mr Rogers and wife of Toronto spent over Sunday with her father Mr David Rogers Mr William Armitage is spending Easter holidays with his sons in the city Office Cat Reports By Ginger A Utile nonsense now and then Is relished by the wisest men Anon And Our good friend from East sends along the following quotations this week which we cherlih Impropriety is the soul of wit Somerset Maugham has travelled lifes his stages may have IBS found The warmest welcome at an inn W Give me the sense of humor Lord Give me the grace to see a joke To get some happiness from life And pass it on to other folk NEED CIVIL DEFENSE We hear about wheels within wheels in public matt ers Sometimes the wheels move very slowly and on the subject of civil defense on the community level it has been difficult to detect any movement in the past five years The municipality is required to pay 25 percent of the cost of civil defense There can be no escaping the responsibility other governments will pay the greater portion but before anything can happen the municipality must move first it seems In modern civilization people are dependent on many complicated services and when disaster strikes in war or peace helplessness resulting from the disorganization of those services imperil many lives It is only log ical that the ingenuity of man be organized for abnorm al circumstances as well as for normal peaceful civil conditions For floods or other natural disasters the civil defense organization is a necessity For war it could mean the survival instead of the end of this civilization LONGER DAYLIGHT SAVING Newmarket and other towns should follow the city of Torontos announced plans to continue daylight sav ing time on into October this year If for no other reason than to avoid confusion everyone should have their wat ches set on the same time In addition many people continue to spend week ends at their summer cottages and each year traffic con gestion increases The extra daylight hour will tend to decrease weekend traffic hazards for a longer period in the fall PLAN CANCER CAMPAIGN The Canadian Cancer Societys annual campaign will he conducted in the North York district this in April or the early part of May Leonard Rosenberg Aurora campaign chairman for the district campaign indicates that plans are being made with the suggestion that service clubs join in to help Since its beginning in the Canadian Cancer Society has spent more than on cancer re search and many new milestones have been reached in the quest for the ultimate cure for cancer The principle body supporting cancer research in Canada is the Nat ional Cancer Institute of Canada Onethird of its funds come from federalprovincial grants while the other two- thirds are provided by the Canadian Cancer Society When the campaign starts local people will be able to help the research projects by contributing to the district society In addition they will be helping the local work the supplying of cancer dressings and comforts for pat ients in the community LEGALIZE HOTRODD1NG The idea of forming a hotrod and custom car club in Newmarket seems to be a good one There is a tend ency among the young bucks in any community to create hoppedup and race along the roads and up and down streets with exhaust systems belching and barking To legalize this basic desire which is the same as the one to gallop madly around on horseback is a move which should receive public ap proval A local policeman is included on the clubs executive and this should introduce some measure of familiarity with the laws of the highway Interest in cars will be channelled in the right direction and the desire for speed will be sublimated into an interest in the workings of en gines and the flair of a fender with original and local design MORE RUGGED DAYS Things are much more peaceful in the weekly news paper publishing business than they were in bygone years it seems The editor of the Durham Chronicle comments that There was a time when this newspaper stirred people to drastic action On one occasion the readers be came so annoyed they entered the building seized the press and threw it in the River A year or two later it was the publisher who became violent M Luke the first editor shot and killed Barnes on the main street He was charged with murder but the jury evidently took the circumstances into account and Mr Luke was allowed to go free When we look back on such events it makes us real ize todays Chronicle is downright dull Todays press is too heavy to be carried to the river and the editor doesnt carry a gun Belairs Edge Clippers In Finals Second Game Its hard to believe but none theless true Aurora and Clippers can rap in in one game and come back a couple of nights later and only score three goals between them However thats how the pendu lum swings in that pleasing inter mediate C hockey these two go- go hockey teams dish up The went into Stouffvil Thursday for the second game in the best of five intermediate C group finals and edged the Clip pers 21 It was a most important win for the Ron Simmons Ron Biggar Cliff Chapman aggregation It gave them a commanding ad vantage in games All the scoring in Thursdays freewheeling thriller was sand wiched into the third period One of the main reasons that the two clubs didnt break out in a rash of scoring credits in the initial two 1 ORANGEVILLE EXAMPLE has done something more than talk the problem of getting more worthy Indent through university says The Financial Post In this On tario town no promising high school

he found to start the ball rolling The Orangeville plan is simple sound and remarkably low in cost It is an ex cellent example in community doityourself OUR SIDE OF THE STORY by WBHARVEY THAT LITTLE MATTER OF MARGARINE It seems odd that there has not been more objection to the laws that discriminate against marg arine in this country The peo ple of Newfoundland felt that the question was so important that they insisted as one of the terms on which they became a part of Canada that they he all owed to buy margarine colored and free from the Dominion sales tax The people of British Colum bia protested so vigorously gainst the provincial law prohib iting the sale of yellowcolored margarine that the law was re pealed In Quebec and Prince Edward Island however the sale of margarine made from vegetable oils is prohibited al together In the other provinces the color ban remains It is difficult to find any justi fication for this discrimination The food laws require the mar garine to contain vitamins and to meet other standards which make it as good a food as butter Margarine is also a cheap source of It is usually about half the price of butter And yet the consumption In Canada is only about onethird that of butter Since only about one person out of six can tell one product from the other by the taste the ban on the sale of colored margarine which necessitates home mixing of color must have considerable effect in sales It is not hard to see why con sumers want the margarine to have the same color as butter instead of the other colors in which it may legally be sold It often happens that the very peo ple whose Incomes are low or whose families are large the people to whom a small saving is important are most sensit ive about being poor They will not serve margarine white or blue or green precisely because they do not want their neighbors and the neighbors children to think they are too poor to be able to buy butter -i- The tax on margarine is the worst of had taxes Taxes on food are generally considered unfair in that they take a bigger fraction of the income of the poor than of the rich and the tax on margarine is a tax on the cheaper kind of fat the kind bought by the poorer consumers The only substantial argument against margarine Is the vested- interest argument It is said that one out of every six Canadians is partially or wholly dependent on the dairy industry for a liv ing The argument is a good rea son for not taking any measure that would kill or cripple the in dustry suddenly Seine spokesmen of the dairy industry talk as if the removal of the discriminatory treatment of margarine would kill the dairy industry The idea is ab surd Besides the market for cheese condensed and powder ed milk here is the great and growing market for fluid milk At the rate our cities are grow ing it seems likely that the fluid milk market would take most of tin- milk that would be dis placed by growing sales margarine supply of land The slow rale of change of consumer habits will ensure that the displacement of butter will be gradual The gradual decline in butter production will prevent undue hardship on the producers who will have to make readjust ments such as getting substitutes for the skim milk in feeding pigs or poultry The decline in butter product ion is inevitable because the row is an inefficient producer The US department of agricul ture reports that a cow produc es pounds of fat per aero compared with pounds from soya beans That is a part ial explanation of the lower comparative cost of margarine and it is almost certain to be come more Important as our rap idly growing population puts in creasing demands on our limited The is the servant not the master of the people the state in their guarantee against infringement on their rights their agent in international and national issues it is not the function of the stale to assume the of those activities which rent on individual choice rounds was the super star net- minding of Belairs Paul McGuire and his Clipper opposite Jack Wil lis It was lanky Don Gibson who shot the Belairs in front just after the midway mark had been rea ched in the final stanza Gibson had help from Ortie Thorns and Grant Winter Ortie Thorns got a gift goal when the Clipper netminder al lowed his shot to drop into the net the mark Thorns goal turned out to be the ultimate winner Bud Lehman assisted by Har old Hodgson both Clipper Mars put Stouffville back in the game with a goal with just under three minutes to play The checked solidly and successfully over the remaining route to protect their slim advant age i I Belairs Win The Group By Ousting Clippers Shooting the works in the first minutes of play Aurora rattled in three goals and held on to defeat Clippers at the Aurora arena Tuesday in groupfinal series in in termediate The win gave the the group title and the best of series in three straight Linemates Don Gibson Thorns and Phil Nicholas shared the scoring Thoms put the show on the road at on a relay from Gibson At Gibson made it on a pass from Nichols and Nicholas scored unassisted at l That was all the scoring the Belairs needed to come home in front The Clippers started whittling into the lead as Joe Lew is scored late in the initial per iod Neither club scored in the second round while Bruce Mc Dowell bagged Stouffvilles sec ond goal midway through the fin al period Paul was a standout operator between the up rights was given solid pro tection by Walt Fines Andy Ctoss and Grant Winter The next opposition a- long the playoffs trail will be either or This whole margarine issue may seem to be a small matter Nevertheless it is important Public indifference to the discri mination reflects our failure to recognize that the rise in our liv ing standards has come about as result of innumerable little things If we had resisted every little improvement we would still be living at the medieval level Finally the discrimination a- gainst margarine is a standing violation of the principle of fair play the basic morality of de mocracy It is the Kin I of thing which enabled Mussolini to ar gue that in democracies the laws are not made in the Interest of the whole country but are mere ly means by which selfish spec ial Interests exploit the people It may unreasonable to ex- peel political parties to incur the opposition of as m i a body of voters as the dairy in terests But the farmers as I have known them are as fair- minded a body of citizens ti an to be found anywhere Their op position to margarine would be greatly reduced if they would face to simple facts the ban on yellow margarine makes litt le difference to their incomes and it is unfair to the poorer members of the community Continued From I ami in Mr after a confer ence with Mr Moloney said ho would carry on the fight to have the conviction quashed with a stated case appeal to Osgoode Hall In such an appeal no evi dence is heard hut only the argu ment of the
