and toronto county police courts may imagine they bear the brunt of maintaining the police court but a persual of the money spent for the administration of justice will show that many thousands of dollars are demanded how much of this is returnable in fines etc we do not know but no doubt it will fall far short of the total outlay the county this year is asked for 50000 for expen ses of the childrens aid society since the new organiza tion formed only a few years ago got underway the costs of the society have been mounting in a conspicious manner it stood for two or three years at 40000 but is now ad vanced to 50000 and there are whispers that the manage ment have in mind an organization set up that will run ultimately double the present costs we have heard this statement made now on several occasions- at first we laughed at the idea but perhaps theres something in it anyway the way the indicator points lends strength to the argument its a grand organization with expert manager ship and if kept in bounds will always be protected and cherished in the county it is my home town and i am part of it my town is the place where my home is founded where my business is situated and where my vote is cast where- my children are educated where my neighbours dwell and where my life is chiefly lived it is the horns spot for me my town has the right to my civic loyalty it sup ports me and i should support it my town wants my citi zenship not my partisanship my friendliness not my dissention ray sympathy not my criticism my intelli gence not my indifference my town supplies me with pro tection trade friends education schools churches and the right to free moral citizenship it has some things that are better than others the best things i should seek to make better the worst things i should help to suppress take it allinall it is my town and it is entitled to the best there is in me- municipal world filling a country woodbox in an old farmhouse a big woodbox was built at the side of the huge fireplace or the wood burning kitchen stove ten baskets of wood filled it during the past summer two different men have had the job of keeping the kitchen supplied with wood the first man brought in wood only when he was asked to do so by his wife- the cook usually she had to call him from some other task he would bring in one armful toss it down and say there i guess that will do you until i get around to bringing in more the kitchen workers would then have to reach far down into the box to get what they needed a more sensible system was used by the second man first of all he had the woodbox thoroughly cleaned the bark that had accumulated at the bottom was taken out and burned- then he brought in basketload after basket- load until the box was filled then he merely kept it filled bringing in no more than one or two loads at a time should the second man be busy at other work or absent for several days the kitchen workers do not hav to worry about their supply of stove wood they always have more than they need theres a reserve supply on hand the two men represent the people cf the world there are those who are improvident who live from hand to mouth who never think ahead who cannot even think in terms of building up reserves who make no savings- whose work is always crowding them who are hard work ers because they are bad planners then there are the people with forethought they think ahead they plan to make their work easier they work hard to build up reserves so that they are prepared for emergencies- they are like the wise farmers who work hard during the growing season to provide food with which to stock the cellars we are always a bit suspicious of people who talk about being overworked overwork is usually the result of inefficiency and inefficiency is the result of sloppy thinking the first men who never kept the woodbox filled was al ways rushing hither and yon he was the busiest person anyone seeing him moving about would be tempted to ex claim there is a real worker watch him hustle around the fact is he was no good at all and had to be discharged for his utter incompetence not always does great activity result in great accomplishment let us all clean out the woodbox of our business and fill it to the top with what we need the time to do the hard work is now- let us get our equipment in shape our supplies where they can be handled efficiently and then go to more important tasks with minds that are free to be cencentrated on what is most profitable agree on market stall rentals good corner stall costs 111 for a

tombac a a recent article in the week ly press of a neighboring town raised quite a furore in the ranks of juvenile males when it was made known that smok ing was becoming quite preval ent in the ranks of primary school boys it appears that some ven dors are under the impression that a note from a father is sufficient to warrant his giving smokes to a youngster but this is not the case as the tobacco restraint act definitely states that everyone is liable to a fine who directly or indirectly sells gives or furnishes to a person under the age of sixteen years any cigarettes or cigarette papers whether his own use or not as a restraint for the young sters who strive to ape their seniors the acts further pro vides that everyone is liable to summary conviction who being under the age of sixteen smok es or chews tobacco in a street or public place or purchases or has in his possession whether for his own use or not any cigarettes or cigarette papers or tobacco in any form- in the past citizens in gener al have not been sufficiently con versant with the law concern ing the giving of tobacco to minors but the knowledge that the youthful purchasers as well as the vendors are transgress ing the law and liable to be fined should go a long way toward preventing the promiscuous use the westview stouffville maternity boarding house visiting hours 330 to 430 oclock 700 to 800
