life of a dog with the girls from the concessions who so ahly debate large problems at the meeting of the junior institutes coming in and giving the scribe a hot time we mean that like the wives of house holders they do not count in mak ing up the number of the voters lists which would clutter up the county council still more by giving almost every township in a county a deputy reeve as well as a reeve for the first time next election girls on the farm over 21 years will j have a place on the municipal voters lists there is a weakness in the act inasmuch as widows daughters unless the widow in her own rights tenants daughters un less the father has a fiveyear lease and farmers sisters are not eligible to voto at municipal elections the flood gates might better have been opened wide enough to let all the sisters in the limited municipal franchise of the spinsters was opposed in the legislature last year by f w elliott mpp for north bruce who favored putting all the grownup girls on the farm in the same class hero is the exact word ing of the bill introduced in the legislature by hon mr finlayson minister of lands and forests to prevent farmers daughters being counted for the purpose of fixing county council representation the number of municipal elec tors shall be determined by the last revised voters list but in counting the names the name of the same person shall not be counted more than once and the name of a per son who is a municipal elector by reason of being the wife or husband of the person so rated or entitled to be rated for the land as mention ed in clause d of the subsection 1 of 56 or who is entered on the list as a farmers daughter shall not be counted by au amendment to the crituiaa code introduced into the house ot commons by the minister of justice

things in european coun tries however and the sabbath in many of them is just another day it is stated that the object of hold ing the voting on sunday is to give everyone an opportunity of going to the polls a fine example of the brass band methods of united slates po lice is seen in the lindberg baby kidnapping case it looks as though the american police officers high and low are more interested in getting their names on the front page of the newspapers than in ap prehending the criminals every move made or contemplated seems to bo advertised in the press thus playing right into

at the abnormally high figure of 02 mills this is an increase of 3 mills over last years rate the main causes for the increase said to be a grant of 5500 to the oxbridge war memorial 200 to the board of trade additional de mand by the board of education and road expenditures last year running beyond the estimates there by causing an overdraft our sister community could hardly have hit on a worse time to levy a peak tax bill than at present we note that the assessment of the munici pality dropped 9u00 which is something the council could not hinder but other causes and the chief ones which went to increase the tax rate could have been avoided for instance a municipali ty with such a burdensome tax rate could not afford a live hundred dollar grant for even so patriotic a purpose as a war memorial then the matter of schools comes in many places are reducing salaries one public school recently advertis ed for a teacher and received 3 2 answers from unemployed teachers at s00 annually despite this the educational hoards in places like uxbridge would not likely engage a teacher at s00 with councils un willing to rule with a stiff upper j lip and refuse money for any but the most necessary and pressing de mands and with school boards pay ing salaries beyond what they need to pay in some class rooms the situ ation for the hardpressed tax pay er is not likely lo improve but is liable to grow steadily worse a 52 mill rate in uxbridge under 1932 conditions will stagger a greater portion of the tax payers than a 00 mill rate would have done three years ago before the depression having said this we trust the 1932 council in uxbridge will not resent the tribunes comment for we hold no personal animosity to the members of either school board or council in the home

sale was postponed from tuesday march 22nd on account of the bad roads terms j of which now constitutes we gathered the following in formation from off the air com ing from lloyd raymers sunday evening broadcast so we are not re sponsible for its accuracy here is what we heard over that almost suphuman instrument whose principles we do not understand but we know they work what must john raymer lloyd raymers great grandfather do next just to think 200 acres of ancient forest where man has never yet applied an axe from the trees of this vast forest he must build a home and this home must be built right in the forest hewn from the trees which now stand on the spot where the gap must be made so that in course of a few long burden some days would be the site of one of the first structure and signs of habitation in this new and primi tive land known now as dixon hill between markham and stouffville it is hard for us to imagine when we stop and think that this is what lloyd raymers grandfather and others had to do and that this scene was within twentyfive miles from what is now one of the great est shopping streets in canada dauforth ave i just wonder what the dauforth residents think of this and little did lloyd raymer as a child on the old farm at dixon hill ever dream that he would some day bo one of dauforth s leading business men owning and operating a modern bakery right in the heart of this great shopping street yet this dauforth district was in grandfathers early days a wild and uncultivated part of the country and toronto called then muddy york contained a few log and slab houses a post office custom house and trading post but we must not forget that grandfather and peter raymer are still without a home what a problem yes what a task to build a house out of the bush and with only the aid of 3- or 4 tools namely the saw axe chise and adze of course you know there were no architects no saw mills no lumber yards no builders supply houses no power except man and oxen in fact nothing but vast and endless bush streams of water wild animals and lots of land but few men to cultivate it the soil was rich if only cleared the trees were full of life and glorious to behold life existed everywhere even in the still of the night the silence was broken by the life of some nearby wild animal roaming about the forest the pioneers and early settlers erected their first home near a stream of water caring not how far they were from the main line water was the great attraction and was in the case of grandfather raymer xear a stream must the site be chosen and the log house built but picking a suitable location in those days was a difficult one just picture yourself standing in the presence of 200 acres of bush trees that have seen the seasons come and go for hundreds of years yet here was a man in solitude prob ably discouraged twentylive mile away from the nearest trading post and only to be reached by a trail through the dark and weired forest marked by the patn of the oxen and cart yes the early settler had many a dark and gloomy hour to live through times when life seemed to be anything but sweet yet they bore there sorrow and grief and suffer ed the hardships and accomplished their task they set out to attain but the site for the log house was decided on so the mighty trees had to give way to the bushinans axe and one by one were layed to the earth the gap was made and by persverance the trees were sawn into logs and hewn into timbers and so erected to constitute a home sweet home the log house was built just a few rods from this sparkling unpolluted stream of water which still flows on to this very day at dixon hill well soon other pioneers from pennsylvania became neighbors and settled in this part of york and in passing i would like to mention a low of the old pioneers names and i assure you it gives me great pleasure to be able to do so one of grandfather and peter raymers nearest neighbors was abraham grove at a later date i will loll you about the time grandfather and abe grovo walked all the way to pennslyvania and hack over 10000 there were movers and in moyeis bush many an old fashion ed camp meeting was held this was right at dixon hill there was widemans reesors hoovers liarkeys and hreuls and by the way t was a hreuls that grandfather and at a later date married there was mitchells meriens and iehmans and one of our eventide quartette mem bers george lehman is a descend- dit of this lehman family there was piphers byers holdens vagaes buttons connors and stouffers the latter name stouffer is how stouffville acquired its name abraham stouffer from pennsyl vania settled in whitchurch in the very early days and became possess ed of 600 acres of land a itortion the town coal coke coal grain seeds tile we are buyers of grain and seeds alsike red clover alfalfa we have feeding molasses on hand by the barrel seeds of all kinds also salt coal coke and pokohontac coal s w hastings phone 169 stouffville out salt cement can be said of them and surely we must honor and pay tribute to these old and noble pioneers who lived labored and died they served and sacrificed and their bodies lie in different graveyards around mark ham stouffville dixon hill but their lives still live though their voices are silent so may we all try to be more faithful unto each other and to bo brotherly like the old pioneers and enjoy life so until a later dato we leave lloyd raymers great grandfather until a later broadcast of iraymers eventide hour troubles of the farmer according to the border cities star dr l j simpson mpp for centre simcoe draws in the legis lature a harrowing picture of the plight of the farmer who has to sell 10s bags of potatoes to buy an auto mobile license and six dozen eggs to purchase his drivers permit it is rather a sad commentary on our distribution system that a days revenue rrom a flock of 72 hens is required to give the farmer the right to drive his own car on which he has already paid a sales tax to the federal government and a licenseplate tax to the provincial government over roads for which he has already been amply taxed using gasoline on which he is taxed j heavily now and on which well- 1 authenticated reports suggest lie will have to boar an event greater levy before long mark axtlloy it takes a man who tells the
