salt sugar or spice to make it palatable you will find the answer in next weeks issue of the tribune the town suffers fergus newsrecord walkerton has had a complete new set of lock boxes installed in the post office instead of being duly grateful the walkerton herald- times begins to wonder over the justice of box rents why do farmers and city folk get their mail delivered to their doors free while citizens of towns and tallages are not only obliged to walk after their mail but must pay 2 3 or 5 for a box plus 25c for each key or else grow old standing in line waiting their turn at the wicket the answer is simple enough of course in a city especially a large city it is impossible for everybody to go to the post office even if that building could be made large enough to hold all the boxes in a city a delivery is a necessity but it doesnt cost the householders anything extra with the farmers the reason is somewhat different there used to be a lot of little postoffices scattered over the province and as the farm ers in those days didnt get very much mail it was no great hardship to have the children call in when they came home from school or for the farmer himself to go to the httle store these post offices have dis appeared and so have most of the country stores the government of fered a rural route to farmers and some of them were slow enough in accepting even though it doesnt cost them anything after they buy the box to begin with it is there that the discrimination seems most apparent city and country folks are catered to and it costs them nothing the post office department footing the bill the town dweller must go to the post office for his mail and he must also put up hard cash for box rent it may be impossible to have it other wise since boxes cant be provided for everybody free of charge on ac count of lack of room but there is discrimination just the same local society urges changes jfccomineuds deep ditches filled and curbing started at the last meeting of the munici pal council a deputation waited on the members on behalf of the stouff- villo horticultural society when a petition was presented prayiug that certain improvements be made in our community this spring and summer all with the view of making stouff ville more beautiful and a more pleasant place to live in if the council gives an ear to this proposal and carries out at least a portion of it they will earn the approval of the majority of ratepayers the petition as presented by the president j r hodgins reads as follows the stouftville horticultural so ciety in addressing this appeal de sires the cooperation of our council in an effort to improve the beauty of our town the society feels that without yourassistance they cannot accomplish the success which they desire to obtain the society would like to offer the following sug gestions which we feel the citizens of stouffville would greatly approve of namely a start made on the curbing of our maiiistreet the deej ditches now in existence tiled and levelled so that the citizens living opposite these ditches would be en abled to keep the boulevards in good condition a systematic way of keeping the grass and weeds cut on our streets frequent attention to this matter is desirable more iigts placed on vbe main street a view being kept to the arusticness it greatly improves the appearance of the street the parnting of welcome signs and adjusting of stop signs a new tailing along sidewalk opposite the dr ira free property some improvement to fire hall in the way of painting tower window frames etc and the placing of a row of coolored lights around top of tower the society will furnish win dow boxes filed with mowers for the two upper windows facing the north if she council will undertake to keep them watered this would be required to be done once every seoond day a survey made of ifbe town streets and trees planted where necessary dogs kept on leasli bo as not

hope they may soon be out again we are suffering again from muddy roads but if this spring wea ther continues we shall soon see the ust flying the young people held their social night under the direction of miss mildred tarr last thursday evening and a pleasant time is reported during the pabt several months the provincial department of heailth has conducted a public health nursing demonstration in the municipalities of richmond hiil markham village and markham township one of the objects m the demonstration is to ascrtain the area and papulation to which one public health nurse can give the maximum of satisfactory service and to show the practicability of an area partly rural and partly urban the work of this demonstration has been followed closely by parents and others interested in school and public health work many favorable comments concerning its effective ness have been heard and some who at the outset were avowed opponents of a public health niirse are now numbered among the most en thusiastic supporters many others of course look upon such an un dertaking as a bill of expense quite unnecessary ultimately an effort will be made to have the two villages and townships pay the salary of the nurse on a yearly basis miss vrooman public health nurse of the dept of health has had charge of the work sine last november high school tax increased ocording to the figures just com piled by h e beckett and other members of the york county edu cational committee a considerable increase over last year is shown in the amounts to be paid for sicondary education by municipalities in the county which are outside the various high school districts the increased tax to be paid by stouffville this year over last year is 55 markham twp is increased 1120 whitchurch twp 676 while othe- places may be figured out from the scale below this increase is due to the more active interest in educational matters throughout the whole countycoupled with the increased school attendance noted during the past year one new high school in north york was open ed during 1928 the following figures represent onehalf the entire cost incurred by york county pupils from those mun icipalities outside the various high school areas the county paying one- half of the total cost and the various municipalities the remainder figures for 1929 are etobicoke 156s451 north york tsf417
