t j the stourrvuli tmumt twifcy febmr m editorial where did supper go like so many other things in this day and age our meal routine is changing and even some of the names are disappearing some people sel dom eat supper anymore this is according to an authority on eti quette she contends that the main meal of the day should be called dinner so that for those to whom the evening meal is the principal one dinner is at supper time and as their noon meal is called a lunch they never do have supper in the old days there was none of this confusion and in rural parts of ontario there still isnt dinner ii at dinner time namely noon supper is in the evening at supper time repeaters local police departments in this area have been plagued with calls within recent weeks and the court dockets contain an everlengthening list of names of youthful offenders before anyone suggests that juvenile delinquency is on the increase in this and other neighboring commun ities it should be noted that the ma jority of troublemakers are by no means new additions to police records in fact almost invariably the same names keep coming up again and again it has almost reached the point where stories concerning these boys have become monotonously uninter esting be this as it may it is the continuous repeater that is a pain in the neck to police a problem to their t parents and a liability on the com munity school boy smoking regardless of what one believes regarding the smoking habit there has been sufficient publicity as well as government and medical attention given to the matter that it was to be expected that there would be some action regarding schoolboy smoking last week the suggestion came in a western ontario town that public school pupils be searched for cigar ettes and matches however the idea has received little support and we little wonder nevertheless dis cipline rather than reason would appear to be the necessary course at this tender age it has also been suggested that lectures and films on the ill effects of smoking might be valuable however others feel that such reasoning at the public school level would not likely be very effective we partially agree with both ideas there could be some good come out of lectures or films but on the other hand boys of public school ag will experiment with cigarettes re- gardless and daredevil aspects will overcome any fears which may be instilled about cancer a new look and a new element public pool rooms and billiard parlors once considered to be dens of iniquity and veritable hangouts for hoodlums have taken on a new look and the patrons that frequent these renovated premises are also in keeping with the trend although many establishments of this type still retain a dark dingy atmosphere not so with the more recent locations we visited one of these on satur day afternoonin the markham shop ping plaza and came away with the impression that the young folk who enjoy this pastime are on the whole a pretty good lot we heard no filthy language and no crude jokes the lads in their late teens or early twenties were well dressed with sport shirts and slacks a few sported white shirts and ties the interior was immaculate and welllighted the quiet that prevailed gave one the feeling that he had just en tered a public library the concen tration between players was com parable to two professionals engaged in a game of chess the operator michael olenin is hopeful that in time his parlors may attract the female element to his premises after all the girls are crowding the boys for room on the bowling alleys tennis courts and even hockey rinks a few pairs of fem inine elbows on the pool tables might not be such a bad idea either could cost 80000 taxpayers in the twp of whit church should brace themselves for a municipal policing project within the next few months that could cost close to 80000 since negotiations between whit church and king on a joint program have been washed out due to kings decision to go it alone whitchurch is now faced with little alternative but to meet the matter headon the switchover to a municipal force will be a sour pill for the resi dents to swallow since over the years the policing service provided by the opp has been both adequate and dirt cheap now with no gain to the individual ratepayer whatso ever he will be asked to dig a little deeper for something that he has taken for granted all along the problem in whitchurch is unlike the majority of other munici palities in this area it is a town ship comprising a populace of mainly rural residents two locations how ever at musselmans lake and lake wilcox take on all the aspects of a seasonal urban region in the summer and a new force must be adequately equipped to handle this influx of vis itors this is one of the reasons why king wanted no part of a united de partment with whitchurch and per sonally we dont blame them although the first year will be the worst it will not be the end as the township grows the policing ser vice will expand and the budget wil continue to increase not a realistic plan n a plan to case the tax burden for educational purposes which is heard today in a number of quarters is not as simple and as realistic as it sounds the federation of agri culture and we also know of a number of councillors in the immediate dist rict are advocating that the govern ment give up the raising of money for educational purposes by taxing property at the same time the can adian federation has asked that the national government give more money to the provinces for education without interfering with provincial authority the mayors and reeves associa tion is also asking that the province atop financing education and welfare through property taxes the suggestion while on the sur face sounds fine is usually based on the individual needs of those who suggest it for instance farmers it is quite easy to suppose would be delighted if all educational tax was obtained through income tax since canadian farmers as a whole contri bute a very small proportion of the income taxes collected on the other hand the weekly wage earner whose taxes are deducted at the source might not be so enthusiastic we dont altogether disagree with the theory that taxes should come from those who receive the ser vices and in some measure it is poss ible to follow this plan however to take all the tax that is needed from the pockets of these people could not even be considered by government a great many groups and asso ciations today are constantly engaged in a game of trying to get more while giving less the pet result of this type of thinking is to cancel out all the ideas we agree that property is being heavily taxed and it makes sense to protest any increase even to putting on a ceiling however to suggest that it can be eliminated en tirely as a means of providing money for our biggest single tax burden just wont work liz and richard is not the international affair i had in mind by the way- anne ross do you like to maik special occasions with special baking heats apart fiom christmas and birthday cakes such specialities as pancakes for shrove tuesday irish stew with dumplings lor st patricks day special sweets for valentines day and so on many women get a great bang out of surprising the family with special day tieats seems to give a lift to everyone including the lady of the kitchen heres an idea that would be ideal for easter or for a childrens party or some other inbetween special day its flower pots i have two ideas leally and thcyie both simple the first calls for some flatbottomed cuplets the cones you put ice cieam in and a plain cake batter any flavour you like fill the cuplets no moie than half full of cake batter and bake in a hot oven four hundred degiess for 15 to 18 minutes cool and cover with your favourite fiosting then plant some floweis in each pot for tall floweis spear some colored gumdiops on toothpicks and stand them in the cake green one for leaves for tiny floweis cut up maish- mallows into flower petals if you dont use the colored marsh- mallows dip the cut edges of plain white maishmallows in colored sugar or coloicd icing and anange into flower shapes now for our second type of flower pots put six cups of puffed rice in a large shallow pan and heat about ten minutes while the puffed rice is heating melt half a pound of marsh- mallows and a quarter cup of buttei or margarine itf the top of a double boiler stiinng until its smooth and add a couple of drops of peppeimint flavouiing then put the puffed rice in a greased bowl and pour the maishmallow mixture over it mixing until all the kernels are evenly coated then with greased fingers press the puffed rice mixture into custard cups forming flower pot shells when theyre cool and nicely set remove them by gently lossening with a knife fill the pots with ice ci earn chocolate seems to be the favourite and looks like quite lealistic earth then put them away in the freezer until serving time the flowers can be added at this time or just before serving and you can use the gum drops that we suggested earlier or perhaps stand small lolli pops in the pots for floweis bruce harper honoured at improvement convention a a wall agricultural representative for york county faimers from york county who took in the crop improve ment convention in toronto last week must have come 01 a little puzzled this was my feeling anyway there were two things in general that raised some doubt about our normal cropping system here in york one was that oats as a crop was almost completely ignored in fact the growing of any kind of spring grain seemed to be pushed right out of the picture corn seems to have taken right over both as feed for livestock and as a cash ciop the other thing that was a little upsetting was he general feeling about our hay crop many speakers weie leaning away from baled hay as the main homegrown feed for cattle some wanted to replace a lot of the hay with corn silage and others wanted to change the method of harvesting and storing the crop haylage is gaining more lavour all the time when you realie that oats and baled hay account for so large a part of our homegiown feed supply in york county the talk at the convention has to be taken seriously despite the attacks im sure that baled hay and oats will predominate on our farms for a long time a whole sale shift to corn and haylage would not he easy but we still should be doing some solid thinking about them in our longterm plans i think one of the big factors in choosing the right crop will be the machinery question the days when an average sized farm could support a full line of tillage haying grain harvesting and corn harvesting machinery are just about over if crops can be used that ran be harvested with the same kind of machine it would be a good step forward forage harvesleis look better these days than ever before because they have the advantages of being able to handle more than one crop despite the fact that the convention shot some holes in our cropping system york county was well featured large numbers from york were there to see eugene lemon wind up his year as president probably the most important award made at the convention went to a york county man too bruce harper of stouffville was honoured at the banquet with the presentation of the trophy for pasture championship for ontario sunday school lesson golden texts for we cannot but speak the things tonich we have seen and heardacts 420 appjoach to the lesson conversion is no more the end of spiritual experience than the birth of a baby is the end of its physical experience as the baby is boin to live and grow in many ways throughout its entire life so we are born again in order to grow to spir itual maturity this developing process must continue through out life conversion then is icon as a passage through the door of christs salvation into a steadily expanding exper ience of abundant life john 107 9 10 we must no more be content with stopping at be ing born again than parents would be satisfied with a baby that never grew the call of christ to the dis ciples was to follow him in or der to be made something other and better than they al ready were and john for one saw how abundantly this was fulfilled as he wrote in his tes timony to him who loves us and has set us free from our sins through his own blood who has made us a kingdom of priests to his god and father to him be glory and power for timeless ages amen rev 1 5b 6 phillips at conversion and long before in gods seek ing and sovereign grace god begins a work that is continu ous until the redemption of the purchased possession unto the praise of his glory eph 114 when we see him we shall be like him 1 john 32 and that has ever been the divine inten tion for his redeemed people rom 829 but the process of conforming us to his image be gins at conversion and then persists in the obedient chris- tion throughout his life on earth our lesson today brings us a few cameos of the training and development of peter jam es and john and shows their growth to spiritual maturity in life and witness it is a most helpful study and one that is applicable to every christian the heart of the lesson we saw in the approach to the lesson that the call of christ is an invitation to be made something better than we are by nature and to be made im plies a process our lesson to day gives us glimpses of some of the pivotal experiences through which the lord took his disciples in the process of bringing them from what they were when he first met them to what he planned them to be fishers of men it is an intri guing study and should help us better to understand his train ing program for us new 7c stamp a new regular issue seven cent stamp designed primarily for air mail letters to the unit ed states will be the first can adian postal issue of 1964 it was announced this week by the post office department the new stamp will replace the famous blue canada sugar spice by bill smiley more light on reading my speech was a roaring success you know the speech on good reading habits to our honor students i mentioned it last week yes it went well does anyone know anyone who wants a slightly used exschool teacher i havent received an official communication from the school board yet but i understand they had an emergency meeting right after my speech and drew up the appropriate charges of mopery gawk and intellectual malnutrition when i began to write the speech i couldnt think of single good reading habit then dimly from my old health class in public school they began to filter back rule no 1 when reading the light should come over your left shoulder its very awkward if your left shoulder happens to be higher than your right unless of course you are an arab and read from right to left then i presume it should come over your right shoulder rule no 2 always read in the bathtub when possible somebody once said that the ideal education would be hoy sitting on one end of a log and mark van doren a great american educator sitting on the other my notion of a great educational advance would be a classroom with 33 bathtubs and up on the platform a super- tub in pink motherofpearl for mr smiley think of the realism we could inject when lady macbeth says a little water will wash us of this deed think of the special effects we could obtain while reading old man and the sea or typhoon wed all be in swim suits naturally well from that point my speech moved effortlessly into the results of good reading habits in history i reminded the kids of archimedes think what the world would have missed if he hadnt climbed into his bath one day with a copy of ovids poems the minute he sat down he knew thcie was something wrong paprika lie screamed and leapt out of the tub some body had put paprika instead of bath salts in the water and thus was born aichimedes principle one of our great laws of physics im not quite sure what it is but i think its something like half a bath is better than none anyway as we all know its a very important principle i left the kids with this solemn thought an economic leverse can take away your new car your splitlevel mortgage and your wife advancing years can take away your teeth your figure and your husband but nothing can take away good reading habits many years from now the matron of the nursing home will point out a desicated old chap sitting in a wheelchair with a huge book on his knees thats mr smiley used to be an english teacher poor old fellow hes blind now and the visitor will say it doesnt seem to bother him much whats he old coot grinning at and the matron will reply oh lie went blind when he was 88 and was fmious for a while because he couldnt lead but he learned the braille system in six weeks and now he reads everything he can get his

advertising stouflville ontario january 16 1964 the editor stouflville tribune dear sir in a recent issue i read where someone was apopinted to the high school board and as a taxpayer with a student in our high school i was wondering just how such an appointment was made i am not in any way ques tioning the boards decision but i am interested as to what pro cedure is used in appointing members to the board could someone clarify or explain this to me interested editors note there are five members on the high school board one member is appointed as a rep resentative of the county one from each

design which has been in use since 1952 more than 163000000 of the blue goose issues have been produced over the past 12 years an average of 13000000 stamps per year the design of the new seven cent issue will show a modern intercity jet aircraft taking off from a canadian airport the stamp will be printed in blue similar to the canada goose is sue and wil be of the interme diate sic the aircraft pictured in the new stamp is a compos ite of many modern short and long range jets and is not in tended to represent any speci fic make or model the airport buildings pictured in the stamp arc patterned after the struc ture at ottawas international air terminal at uplands which was opened to the public in 1960 in announcing the new stamp the post office noted that the blue goose was being retired primarily because of the intro duction last autumn of a new 15 cent postage stamp which also shows canada geese in flight it is not normal the depart ment added to maintain in use two regular issue stamps por traying similar subjects in ad dition the 12 year life of the blue goose issue is considered a normal term and the design was due for replacement while the new stamp bears a flight motif it will not be spec ifically an air mail stamp it will bear the words postes canada postage and the denom- ination only i the stamp was designed and i printed by the canadian bank note company

of all postal employees across canada for the fine coopera tion of press radio and televis ion during the tremendously heavy mailing period just prior to christmas while there is undoubtedly newsworthiness to the mailing of such volumes of greeting cards your organization went far beyond giving the news ths public service which you per formed by spreading the word of early mailing bundling of mail and correct addressing must have won the approbation of your community certainly it was of gieat assistance to the postal operation and made the delivery of gifts and cards be fore

oughly and take this means of expressing our thanks yours sincerely w h wilson deputy postmaster general nearly 100000 winter anglers at lake simcoe lake simcoe most popular winter fishing spot in ontario is attracting about 100000 ang lers during the ice fishing sea son and some 4000 fish huts appear annually on the lake according to estimates made ov er the past three years by the department of lands and for ests to keep pace with this heavy and increasing fishing pressure the department annually sam ples the strength of the fish po pulation in some cases seal samples are collected to deter mine the ages of the fish ang lers in a creel census are asked to report on the number and kinds of fish caught the hours fished with such information and comparison with other years it is possible to deter mine whether fish populations are remaining at high levels or decreasing in the latter case department biologists try to determine the cause and rem edy the whitcfish in lake sim coe
