mtkean adsrtim rial tax rate increa while no one can be said to be enthused over the tax increases the boost in the municipal rate announced this week is not alarming and in the light of what is included in the bud get not an outoftheway figure no one is erecting any monument the increase is strictly the result of growth to the average householder or home owner the increase will result in an increase of s10 to s15 depending on the quality of his home in most communities which we know once the major utility sewers was com pleted the tax rale saw a much greater increase than in stouffviue provision has also been made for the purchasing of a new and larger fire truck another needed facility for a growing town salary increases for all town employees were very few and totalled well under a thousand dollars turning back the we have all heard the stories of the good old days longtime stouff viue residents can recall the years when main roads were blocked with snow for days and even weeks trans portation by horse and cutter or learn and sleigh was common the model t remained parked in the garage until spring no local tale is quite complete unless it includes the details on the steam locomotive that left the track and plowed headlong into harpers field the sight of this steel monster marooned cabdeep in snow would no doubt attract hund reds of sightseers to the scene on saturday night a similar situation occurred on the very out skirts of town the hands of time were momentarily turned back to the days when old man winter flexed his muscles and halted the progress of mans modern machines fortynine passengers were stranded when the evening diesel pitied its weight and se not alarming reeve lehman in his nomination address did not minimize the fact that there would be a tax rate in crease and the public was not de luded in any way council has taken advantage of the growth to provide for a new municipal building some thing which has been sorely needed for many years this major item will not cost the taxpayers a cent being paid for by the subdividers we do not always agree with what council does and have not hesi tated to say so in this column how ever with the handling of the finan ces we have no quarrel in clerk- treasurer ralph corner stouffviue has a most capable manager and it is interesting to note that council with the help of the treasurer was only 500 out on the total estimates for last year when one considers that the budget totals more than a quarter million dollars the result is more than satisfactory hands of time power against a fifteen foot snow drift and lost until four oclock on sunday morning the stouffviue station re sembled a hotel in a wild west movie the waiting room was crowded with people young old and in between two emergency diesel engines rolled in from toronto sectionmen and train crews obtained their orders from the stouffviue office the tele type machine clicked wildly at mono tonous intervals at 3 am the strand ed passengers boarded a bus and left at 4 am the marooned diesel- was freed the station door was locked the lights were turned out and the agent retired for a wellearned rest modern man can be justly proud of his notable advancements in many fields during the past halfcentury in spite of this progress he is still a slave to the whims of nature a fact that was plainly proven on saturday night easter seals mean hope for thousands as the dark winter begins to die march becomes the bright month of hop for more than 14000 crippled children and teenagers in ontario who have been afflicted by accident and disease or disabled by certain conditions from birth that usually mean despair and dependence on others and since hope in action is char ity 222 service clubs will open their monthlong easter seal drive on mar 17 for 850000 thais the price that must be paid in i960 to make life better for youngsters who would otherwise find it harder if not im possible to become selfreliant and selfdependent citizens easter seal contributions provide treatment and training vacations in specially equipped summer camps and all other benefits that the 7yearold ontario society for crippled children has developed over its history to children again this year the stouff viue lions club is the agent through which you can contribute to this groat easter seal pund down through the years easter seals have paved a way for a program which now provides 25 specially train ed nurses who serve as liaison with service clubs across the province seeking out crippled children and di recting them to treatment centres providing them with home nursing skill and teaching parents what to do io help the handicapped little ones take advantage of medically pre scribed plan of rehabilitation in ftv ramps unlike any other eampi in rh country hundreds of youngster will have a cha nee at sum mer vacations barred to them other wise because they cannot play exact ly as other children do in these camps counsellors with knowledge of what to do leach the kids to enjoy life to learn how to care for them selves and to give many of them hope which their conditions have not aroused easter seals too enroll the ser vices of leading physicians and sur geons who give their time and skills at the clinics which the society and the service clubs organize at strategic centres in ontario where local doctors may bring their young patients for examination and recommended treat ment from the clinics the children go to hospital if necessary or back to their homes for a program of planned therapy or training supervised by the societys nurses in the field of cerebral palsy the societys easter seals have made possible advances that are dramatic even though the task is painfully slow and expensive at various treatment centres throughout the province teams of nurses and doctors are teaching children to walk lo talk to feed themselves and dress themselves even to become helpful family members instead of helpless victims of a condition that once spelled hope lessness a contribution to the easter seal campaign means a membership in a crusade of mercy and service io children who through no fault of their own are enormous burdens of affliction but who needs a little help to carry those burdens much more lightly for office supplies business machines see tha stouffviue tribune sj- v41 6 l
