wind storm early saturday morning re sulting in bad roads prevented the saturday evening attendance super seding in size the big house assem bled for the opening night the play brought to stouffville by the eastern star was under the direc tion of mr russel li hawthorne author of the drama the entire cast was local beyond mr haw thorne and just two weeks were spent in getting up the work a record for brevity we think for aa undertaking of the nature the sotting for the play was on the deck of the private yacht of mr oreilley a new yorker and a recent addition to the rank of the millionaire class in the hope of disengaging the attention of his youngest daughter rosie from an oufatuation for a young wireless operator a lengthy cruise is decid ed on in order to remain in touch with his new york broker a wire less operator is engaged to go along and this post through the stragedy of rosie and the captain in league with her is placed n the hand of rosies suitor under an assumed name mrs otreilley and her elder daughter lady genudino have am bitions for rosie and wish her married to lord lumsley one of the guests aboard for the chief purpose of pressing for the hand ot rosie of course the play has a happy ending and events lead up to the young operator- making a lortune in oil stocks and winning the admiration of oreilley who admired his pluck and willingly took in the young operator as a member of his family mr j r hodgins played the roil of mr oreilley mrs e m still mrs oreilly mrs s w hastings as lady geraldine and miss ethel sanders that of miss rosie while her partner the wireless operator was mr fred mcxair other characters were taken by mr h o klinek as will chandler who was immensely interesting in mollia vaughan taken by mrs jas muston lord lumsley was none other than mr f marshall the role of sunshine the negro servant was played by mr hawthorne mr a j ward was captain of the yacht it would be both indiscrete and impossible to single out any of these actors as the best for all were adapted for the part played and each one of them excelled in their respective roles there was not a hitch discernible in the whole per formance and from the first rising of the curtain for the pageant by the little tots of radio station kids the audience was held in wrapt at tention to the grand finale when the entire east choruses sailors etc assembled on the deck of the boat for the ringing down of the curtain lmiss agnes klinek was at the piano for the entire performance and won special praise for her effort specialty numbers wore given by miss ross of the public school staff miss luella cayman and edith borinsky also by mr ormsby leh man as the chinaman all of which added to the interest and enjoyment of the program the chorus girls over ho in number looked striking in their pretty uniforms while the choruses they sang are still ringing in the ears of half the town folk had good swing to brought unstinted dead indeed the recent appeal made by the cemetery commission for funds to pay for some special work done jjt the cemetery must have fallen on the ears f the dead only 300 was needed to pa for the new rest room erected for the convenience of funeral parties coming from distant points less than 100 was sub scribed and this by local citizens the encouragement given the cemetery commission is not such a will induce tlieiii to attempt any further improvement other than those undertaken by the council and paid for through taxation we trust that the outcome of attempting to finance the improve ments to the cemetery though popu lar subscription will show the futil ity of such a system of getting money not until the price of lots are increased to a level that will maintain the place will financing be properly done price

budget expenditure has been cut some 35- 000000 for the fiscal year starting april 1 which leaves about 40000 000 to be made up in increased taxa tion if tho government is to attain its object of a balanced budget for 1933 two taxes which seem certain to be increased are the sales tax and the personal income tax the sales tax it is believed will be raised from its present four per cent to six per cent in addition the govern ment will ask parliament to re move a largo number of commodi ties from the long list of articles now exempt from sales tax an effort in this direction was made last year without success this year it is suggested that the greater stringency of the times will lead to a casting aside of the political considerations which previously have militated against any contraction of the list of exemptions ijcss exemption likely in the personal income tax the exemption for married men will probably be dropped from its pre sent 53000 to 2000 the level at which it stood until six years ago the single persons exemption will likely be lowered from 1500 to 1200 there is lo a distinct probability that the rates of taxa tion will he raised possibly start ing with an increase in tho rate on a taxable income of 2000 that is a gross income under the new exemptions of i000 for married men without children it is estimated that at least a dozen or so individuals in stouffville will be affected by the new tax that is this many more will be gathered in the meshes of the tax depart ment on income who now do not show enough earnings to be taxed the measure is likely to be un popular with a largo majority of people in moderate circumstances increases in the income tax will be defended on the ground that tho cost of living has declined and that most citizens incomes have decreas ed a condition which would greatly lessen the governments income tax revenue if the exemptions wore not lowered other taxation changes are likely to include an increase in the corpora tion income tax this tax now stands at 10 per cent it will probably go up to 12 or 12 per cent an in crease in the import excise tax is al so under consideration this levy may he raised from its present ono per cent to three per cent since this tax applies to all imports whether of free or dutiable goods it is a good revenue maker for the government by serving as a de terrent to imports the increased tax also would coincide nicely with the governments policy of gaining and holding a favorable balance of trade hi among ruthless foes the tumult be fore pilate in the judgment hall tho

threaten ed onslaught due allowance must be made tor people who become in volved and are likely to lose their cherished possessions through mis fortune of even their own creation an accident occurred here on wednesday morning last week which came off without injury to a human being when a heavy truck loaded with milk driven by albert cosburn agincourt was going wst on the town line and was right on tho bridge when ho noticed a car coining north on the sth con at a fair rate of speed according to the information given out by constable walker tho driver of tho truck saw that tho car driven by mr us wideman markham twp would bo unable to mako the turn in time to avoid a head on so ho applied his brakes and the road way at that point was icy his truck turned right across the road just then mr widemans car crashed into the left front ond of tho truck tho car was not damaged much though the milk truck was dinged by the impact smashing tho front fender running board and battery which was locat ed on tho fender constable walker tested the brakes of widemans car and found them weak which means that wide- man may bo out 1000 anyway and maybe more it pays to have your brakes tested often it affords us considerable satis faction to announce to our readers the success attained by mr james muston at the spring flower show held in toronto on thursday friday and saturday of last week if

few things that they never realised it is not too much to say that this years spring flower show held in the eaton auditorium at collego and young st was a distinct advanc ever its predecessor and witli an average attendance of 2000 each day gavo evidence that this new venture had caught on concentrating on three classes for roses in pots mi- muston again secured first prize in each class and in addition for the second year in succession won a massive silver cup which will become his property it successful next year our scribe was fortunate enough to pay a visit to the local green houses shortly after the successful exhibits had returned from toronto and a sight of the massive heads of bloom were con vincing enough to justify the award they had secured just now the display of plants
