pije 2 the siouffvlue tribune twsdiy otlobtt 20 i960 al a students do our teen- axe high school stu dents think for themselves do they have individual opinions on various subjects of local interest can they put these personal opinions in writ ing with the approach of educa tion week nov 612 the tribune has invited members of the stouff ville district high school student body to submit editorials that will be viewpoint published in issues of nov 9 and 16 we feel that the youths in our high schools have definite views on specific matters we are confident too that these views can be placed on paper it is more than ten years since the tribune promoted such a project it was highly successful at that time and attracted much reader interest we hope it can be repeated treeplanting campaign needed the province of ontario is pro ceeding rapidly ahead in its much- needed roadbuilding program prior to the start of each major project a vigorous treecutting campaign begins like a wave of troops hitting an enemy stronghold before the armoured divisions move in trees of all shapes and sizes are felled with such fury that the landscape is laid waste almost overnight the maple our very canadian emblem is hacked down and uprooted like some thorn bush in a farmers pasture field what has taken years to create can be destroyed in a matter of min utes the west end of stouffvilles main street will share a similar fate in a few short weeks residents have not taken too kindly to this planned program and one need only to have viewed this section of town during the past two weeks to appreciate their concern we fee that these roadside mon- archs must bow to progress but we would suggest that the province should also consider taking steps to concentrate their efforts in an equally vigorous treeplanting campaign perhaps the council too and even the horticultural society could promote such a program within the boundar ies of our village through such a project the bitter pill would not be so hard to swallow thirty years from now future stouffville residents will thank you for such foresight this is not stouffville the exeter timesadvocate tak ing a look into community recreation and arena costs notes that as a result of councils decision last week the cost of providing recreation ser vices and arena facilities will amount to more than 13500 next year contrast this with stouffville and ratepayers here should consider themselves the luckiest in the country so far as putting up any money for recreation facilities here in stouffville practically the only tax money spent in this connection is 1000 to keep up the park this is the large community park two other small park areas have not been kept up there is no recreation committee so no money is spent through this channel the town was provided with an arena through a group of shareholders so there are no debentures there the community swimming pool was a gift to the town and any deficit is paid by the lions club which organization oper ates the pool it can easily be seen that the local taxpayers put up less than one mill for all recreational purposes to make this part of one mill even easier to pay the town collects municipal taxes from the arena as well as selling the arena water in a total which prac tically offsets all the tax money that is spent its certainly a nice way to have it we hope all the residents realize how well off they are a welcomed relief fhe recently concluded world series may not in the opinion of many warrant front page publicity in our evening newspapers but from our vantage point it was welcomed relief after days of digesting the raving verbal outbursts of premier khrushchov it was a pleasure to see his abomb and rocket threats re placed by the booming bat of mickey mantle and the longrange throwing arm of roberto clemenle we would place such players in a class by themselves true stars in their own right and heros of every young lad who has ever sported a pair of spikes or brandished a base ball bat hardly comparable we would suggest to the barbedtongued mr k whose actions at the united nations would hardly typify him as a leader of a powerful republic although the khrushchov out- bursts have received plenty of pub licity in the daily press to the aver age man on the street it can mean very little bill mazeroskis home run in the ninth inning at pittsburg would quicken the pulse of even the most lethargic sports enthusiast for one brief moment at least the world and all its problems came off second best sunday school lesson lesson for october 23 ouil nbkd of goi tsalms 10 13 goldkn text why art thou cast clown o my soul and why art thou disquieted within me hope thou in god for i shall yet praise hint who is the health of my countenance and my god lsalm 4211 the lesson as a whole it must be apparent to the dis criminating observer that the current resurgence of religious interest in this country is scarcely a genuine spiritual re vival while church membership has hit a new peak so has the crime index in fact these two seem to be pretty well keeping pace with each other this strange paradox demonstrates the superficial nature of this religious upsurge it is fashionable nowadays to attend church and many take a patronizing attitude toward god they are really doing him favor and he should really feel flattered now that he has so much human help what wic ked conceit this is the real fact of the case how ever is that god does not need us at all but we on the con trary desperately need him he is quite capable of operat ing his universe without us he needs not our help or advice but presentday tensions and fears spell out the bold truth that we cannot successfully op- crate in any sphere national domestic or individual with out him we need god this is true of both saint and sinner other wise disaster lies ahead in the light of this it is most assuring to realize that his might is available to us we may tap this source of infinite power by faith the heart of he lesson lsalm nineteen declares the glory and power of ihe great god as seen in his work of cre ation and in his word of revela tion this power is available to all of his children sometimes however he en velopes himself in clouds and hides his face even allowing his children to be regarded as orphans he permits them to be tried and persecuted he allows waves of adversity to roil in upon them and he sometimes maintains silence even when their tortured hearts are almost breaking many an anguished why brings no immediate answer and there is no sudden intervention even when their blood is spilled in martydrom but someone has aptly re marked that god loves his chil dren just as much when he strikes them as when he strokes them and though the rod may be necessary at times it is al ways in the hand of one who dearly loves those children afterward it yieldeth the peace able fruit of righteousness un to them which are exercised thereby heb 1211 the fortysecond psalm vivid ly portrays a man who is grip ped by deep dejection in spite of all his overwhelming sor rows however he reaches out to the god of deliverances and is confident that the morning will bring not only relief hut also a song of joy primarily this sufferer is christ during his lifetime here he was re viled and taunted on the cross all gods waves and billows roll- eel over him when he bore our sins in his own body on the tree but the morning brought resurrection and a song of tri umph and the everlasting dem onstration- that his confidence was not misplaced apart from the atoning ele ment of his sacrifice he has pioneered the path for us and we are encouraged to follow his steps witc touffutlle frtimtte xtabl1shed ism a v nolan son publishers

well the school board hasnt had me on the carpet yet for that last column which urged the abolition of religious in struction from the curriculum maybe its just because they havent had a meeting in the meantime before they do i might as well unload all the other beefs i have about the educational svstem its major flaw is that it costs money municipal councils wail with increasing regularity that the economy of eudsvillq is be ing wrecked by those madmen on the school board educators observe with equal monotony that we spend more on smokes or liquor than we do on school ing most of us who have child ren dont kick too much after all if you have garbage you expect the cost of its pickup to be added to your taxes but when a farmer retires and moves to town it hurts when he finds that half bis tax bill is made up of education costs he forgets of course that his grandchildren who live in the city are being educated at tre mendous cost and half the tab is picked up by some poor old trout who

or stainless steel will survive without paint but no gutter is much good if it is not properly pitched it must slope smoothly down to the downspout if it doesnt bend the metal hangers to cor rect the slope be sure the gutter edge is well below the edge of the room if the downspout is clogged borrow a coilspring auger j the type used for unclogging housedrainage systems and poke this through next
