tf 2 the stoufrvbjje tobune tbavfay u el p editorial a oneway street two local residents who appar- as questioned the reply ently suffered injury on stouffville streets in the spring have been denied claims for damages by the underwriters adjustment bureau ltd acting for the town in letters aired last week the alltoobrief explanation stated in part it has been agreed that there is no evidence of negligence on be half of the corporation and therefore we have extended a denial of liabil ity perhaps each member of council was aware of the circumstances sur rounding the matter but this writer was certainly left in the dark and the companys letter failed to shed much light on the issue no one as much there are a couple of questions we would like answered is this in surance carried for the protection of the town or its citizens are any claims ever paid we feef that the council mem bers as municipal servants should see that ratepayers are also granted some degree of protection it is very easy for a company to pass up its responsibilities in a 3paragraph let ter that says next to nothing no doubt some claims are paid but not a single one has come to this writers attention it would appear to be a oneway street of plenty of payments going in but too few com ing out a welcomed endorsement we appreciate the friendliness of your town and its people said mr harold gardiner an official with the toronto orthopaedic recreational centres association we think you have a wonderful park and we hope to return again that in a few words was the welcomed endorse ment of stouffville its residents and its recreational facilities stated by a total stranger whose organiation had reserved the park for their an nual midsummer picnic on saturday afternoon we hope we may come back again this type of recommendation is worthy of red carpet treatment to an association that possibly appre ciates what our park has to offer more than we do ourselves in addi tion it is this type of person that provides stouffville with its most powerful form of favorable publicity and advertisement in reply we would say we hope you will come back again overtheknee sentence a us magistrate may have hit on a unique but effective sentence for teenage lawbreakers a bare handed overtheknee spanking too often we feel young people become overnight heroes when a conviction brings a publicized jail sentence or heavy fine a public paddling to stimulate the accuseds rearend circulation would leave a more lasting impres sion the sentence would ease the strain on the pocketbook but would deal a severe hurt to ones personal pride deterioration of manners we were pleased one day recent- ly to enjoy a game of golf- with a friend and his 14yearold son and believe it or not the thing that im pressed us most on the outing was not the golf game but the manners displayed by this 14 both during the game and at the lunch following while the boy must take the credit for displaying the manners the father must certainly take credit for the example he sets for his son it is a rare thing in this day and age to be able to commend people for their good manners and this goes for young adults as well as children some observer once said that chivalry began to disappear from life when a man picked up a handker chief dropped by a lady and discov ered that it was a piece of kleenex the custom of men rising when a lady approaches or leaves a group at a table goes by the boards in many instances doffing the hat when a lady enters an elevator is still recog nized by most men when in a hotel but doesnt seem to apply in office elevators possibly the paceof mod ern life has something to do with this deterioration of manners we are always in such a hurry to get some where else we dont seem to have time for the minor niceties of con duct in many cases too it is doubt ful if parents eyer took the time to teach their youngsters try to edgeyour car away from the curb into a stream of traffic and you will discover that only about one driver in a dozen will give you a break even though they know they will be stopped by a traffic light within the next minute or so one has suggested that it is more profit able to let the hurrying motorists push their way through traffic that way they may sooner arrive at an accident that will remove them from the roads modern hying may have great advantages but as the current grows stronger it is sad to see that many- of the basic manners which are part and parcel of pur society are being swept away rome wasnt built in a day whenever a subdivision is open- ed up in a semirural municipality the council in the particular town ship is continually on the receiving end of complaints and requests from private residents and ratepayer asso ciations within the builtup area the populated bay- ridges de velopment in pickering township is a typical example it is only on rare occasions when someone from the district is not in attendance at a weekly meeting look ing for services that they possibly might have enjoyed in their previous place of residence these same ser vices were not installed when they arrived but some individuals appear to think that by waving some magic wand their requirements will be met almost over night bay ridges cannot be considered in the same light as a runofthemill subdivision it is in effect a satellite city and if its present rate of growth continues it may one day become a separated selfgoverning municipal ity within the township borders the people want parks they want sidewalks crosswalks speed limits and stop signs and yet it was only back in may 1959 that the orig inal agreement was signed we say keep your shirts on rome wasnt built in a day we would suggest that the wants and desires of such a resi dential region will never be filled we personally become a little tired of the continuous crying on the coun cillors shoulders fun in the sun by this time some people have had their first case of sunburn be cause they werent aware of the misery that can follow an instant tan hence tips about tanning are timely actually and this is based on american medical association re ports a good suntan has little or no physiological value there may be a certain sense of relaxation and well- being from basking in the warm sun shine as long as it isnt overdone most people know that over exposure in the sun can cause severe bunts but did you know that continued over exposure over a period of years can cause the skin to look weather- beaten wrinkled leathery and coarse in texture the color of your skin determines to a large extent how much tan you can stand but even darkskinned people dont have com plete immunity from sunburn according to experts youre not as likely to get sunburned after 4 pm or before 8 am the burning ultraviolet is most intense from 11 am to 2 pm you can even get a burn from rays reflected from sand or water even though- youre not directly exposed i dreamt i was captivating in my austerity girdle sunday school lesson for office supplies and bus iness machines the stouffville tribune golden text behold his soul which is lifted up is riot upright in him but the just shall live by his faith hab 24 approach to the lesson though very little is actually known concerning the prophet habakkuk internal evidence indicates that he ministered in judah during the period of the gathering storm that soon was to break in the babylonian inva sion he possibly remained in the land after that military con quest continuing to speak in the name of the lord to the scattered survivors the entire prophecy is an inti mate reflection of the distress of the man himself severely troubled by the prevailing car nality of the professing people of god his perplexity was deep ened by jehovahs forbearance toward the idolatrous babylo nians whom he was about to use for judahs chastisement an expectant waiting upon god however brought answers and issused in an outburst of praise the heart of the lesson the short prophecy of habak kuk begins in a storm of doubts and ends in peace and quiet con fidence it begins with why and concludes with i will re joice in the lord the book reveals therefore how perplex ity can be turned into praise and how seemingly insoluble problems can be solved when one waits expectantly upon god the prophets bewilderment was twofold it lay first of all in the fact that jehovah was apparently inactive in the face of abounding evil how could he allow such lawlessness to go unchecked when the an swer came that god was about to execute judgement by using the bitter and hasty babyloni ans the prophets perplexity was only deepened how could he use such a wicked people to accomplish his purpose the ensuing dialogue between him self and the lord led the troubl ed seer to take his place on the tower where he would watch and wait for the answer the reply to be plainly writ ten so that the reader would be put into action was certain of ultimate fulfillment notwith standing any appearances to the contrary god was at work amid all of he violence and had decreed that all the earth would eventually be filled with the knowledge of his glory in

grade 12 students is taking off in the morning on a trip i rather envy him hes heading for vancouver on a bi cycle all he has to do is pedal through the great loneliness of northern ontarioand crawl the endless prairies toll across the rockies and push the last long stretch through the vastness of bc he has a brandnew bike 550 in cash one army blankec and a big supply of peanut butter sandwiches to commence his journey also of course he has one other thing a stout heart when he reaches vancou- er he will sell his bicycle and and set off for the yukon he hopes to work there for a jear save a stake then return home and go back to school to com plete his education he wants to be a writer thousands of young people have the same desire but they never do anything about it ex cept dream about all the money a writer is supposed to make this fellow does something about it he writes all the time poems stories para graphs struggling heroically with a natural inclination to misspell hes going to keep a daily journal on his trip he could have chosen no better method of acquiring the experience and material so helpful to a budding writer there will be 50 stories a hun dred poems a thousand inci dents in the strip of canada across which his wheels will roll this summer i envy him as i said he will grow brown and haid ho will lie beneath the stars and yearn he will heat pork and beans besides a mountain stream and he will meet a thousand interesting people some of them will be mean most of them friendly he will se a canada that the passenger on transcontinental train or jet liner never sees he will smell pines and see ripening wheat and feel the sun on his back in the morning and hear coyotes yapping at night he will savor the joys of hot food in an empty belly warmth after zero at the bone conversation after lone- niness rest after exhaustion he will marvel at sunset on the praries and the moon set ting fire to a tiny lake he will encounter hospitality that will enrich him with an abiding faith in human kindness if hes very lucky he will have the most rewarding ex perience of all he will get to most difficult of all things for modern man who u m sel dom alone with time to think and feel and wonder i think hell make it the fact that he reads and tries to write poetry does not mean that hes a pantywaist who will be crushed by his first brutal encounter with life this lad plays a rugged game of football last summer he got as far as mexico and wound up fighting bush fires in bc before returning to school hes sensitive but tough but the important thing is not that he makes it it is the fact that he is going alone we hoar so much today about the desire of jouth for con formity and security that its refreshing to se the evidence refuted i do agre that todays youngsters seem to lack a spirit of adventure but note the word seem i dont be lieve they really lack it i think they are seduced away from it by overprotective parents they are robbed of things made too easy for them at any rate ill be going west in spirit with this young fellow and wishing i ueie 20 years younger so that i could be riding with him i have a special interest in him because i taught him english and encouraged him in his wilting so i gave him a letter of intioductioii it reads this will introduce jim mckinnon one of iiij grade 12 students dining the year this student has never a pulled a switch blade on mc b written an essay in which there were no spelling errors c dono any thing of an ungcntlcmanly nature while i was looking at him any favors tendered linn would be appreciated by bill smiley theie you arc fair warn ing to my thousands of read- eis in the west if a dusty unshaven hobo with a bicycle appears at your door or pulls out that letter you have a chance to tell me off by proxy on the other hand if you dont feel too hostile to me dont be afraid to give him a cup of tea or a shakedown in the bain hes a decent lad and maybe some day hell put you in a
