i page two the tribune stouffville ont august 14th 1941 sty toaffmii ribmw established 188s member of the canadian weekly newspaper association issued every thursday at stouffville ontario eight to twelve pages average circulation 1500 copies subscription rates per year in advance in canada 200 in usa 3250 a v nolan son publishers notes and comments unfairness to many employed people when the unemployed insurance scheme came into existence we advised the department that the staff at the tribune office is guaranteed continuous employment all year round and that we would be responsible for then- weekly pay without interruption of course we knew that we could not be placed in any exempted class but we want ed to impress someone with what seemed to us unfair to ask our employees to contribute to a fund which they would never realize any ibenefits from one of the mysteries of political life in this country is that the socalled unemployment insurance law was pre cipitated through the house of commons with little or no criticism and even with cheers from opposition benches possibly organized labor which is mainly employed on an hourly basis is pleased at the moment because such trades will under present arrangements benefit from the weekly contributions of bank clerks and retail clerks and others in the lower paid group who seldom are out of employment an immense new bookkeeping job has been foisted on business and employers generally for if the revenue were demanded from workers in order to help with the war effort or to brake inflationary tendencies the machinery for the collection of the national defence tax would have sufficed both for business and government but every large business must add to payroll staff and every small business must submit to an additional nuisance and ottawa payrolls are swelled by some thousands of persons perhaps 6000 at a time when help is scarce canada adopts a scheme that was a failure in britain a depression proved the unemployment fund inade quate and even those who had not paid into it were given weekly grants of equivalent amounts this would be the condition in canada in the event of further unemployment for the principle has been established that the workless shall not be allowed to starve people who are struggling to make ends meet today are paying into a fund from which there is only the remot est chance of their benefiting it has been ruled for in stance that college students with summer jobs must pay although these boys when they finish college will be mainly either in excepted employment or engaged in a professional activity on their own account or soon because of their superior education beyond the 2000 class yet out of money earned for paying next years tuition they must help the fund which pleases only those who are engaged in seasonal employment the scheme cannot be classed even as a compulsory savings scheme for the reason that the money once paid into the fund can be recovered by the payer only if he or she is ousted from a job because there is no work a stenographer who works ten years and then gets married can get nothing back a youth who slowly makes his way upward beyond the 2000 class cannot benefit the benefici aries are mainly canadas largest and evergrowing perman ent force the civil service a step in right direction it is easy to grumble about new taxes so when the powers at ottawa enibark on something that relieves even a small section of the community from a burden they are entitled to praise canadian bakers have been relieved of certain useless expenditure by ottawas new bread regula tion and the big bakery in stouffville is appreciative of what has been done by an order of the wartime prices and trade board sliced bread double or fancy wrappers will be taboo after august 11 and the board in a statement expressed the opin ion that these economiescoupled with removal of the wheat processing tax should render unnecessary any increase in the price of bread the new measures in force last sunday are being taken to conserve materials power and labor which can be used more effectively in the national defense program the saving ordered by ottawa will not take care of the general advance in commodities entering a loaf of bread but it all helps and will eliminate further competi tion with more added expense in the future probably something will be done next to prevent bakeries from the cities and other bakery trucks from run ning all over the province to peddle a load of bread that should be consumed in the neighborhood where it is made or could be shipped by rail religion taught in the schools ii was with interest that we road in a church paper about the teaching of religion in the schools of london this past term every

conditions noah m bearinger of elmira today told the kitchener record he is secretary of the war problems committee of the historic peace churches of ontario the mennonite boys all 21-year- olds reported about three weeks ago in all there are about 150 from waterloo county mr bearinger says the boys are working on the transcanada high way in letters written home they say they are well pleasad with the working conditions the camp and especially the food they are get ting along just fine unlike the army recruits the mennonites receive only 50 cents a day for their work and must supply their own clothes soldiers are paid at the rate of 130 per day and are supplied with uniforms mr bearinger did not know for how long a period the boys would be required to work he said he expects it will be four months al though the matter rests entirely with the war services department ho said in view of the type of work they are doing it may not be pos sible to continue during the winter the days of thumbing a ride by soldiers is over according to routine order 1140 of the cana dian active army but that does not mean soldiers wont accept rides if motorists offer same the order says the soliciting of rides by personnel of the can adian army is undignified and- in consistent with the wearing of the kings uniform there is however no objection to the acceptance by soldiers of transportation when such is offered voluntarily by the public now that hitchhiking has been banned in the army its up to the motorists to lend a helping hand in seeing that soldierboys do not break routine order 1140 if the soldiers are walking along the high ways obviously they would appreci ate a lift but the order prevents them from thumbing it to their destination it is expected that motorists will understand the situation and will not be lax in offering the khakiclad boys lifts business directory medical dr s s ball physician and surgeon xray office cor obrien and main phone 196 coroner for york county board of education the local superintendent and inspector of the schools it all recalls the fact that similar work is carried on in parts of markham township and stouffville board of education is still dallying with the issue we know that some members of the board would favor introducing the half hour religious instruction next term and ratepayers in favor of this step should make it their business to ex press their approval to any member of the board and that will strengthen the hand of those who have to decide this matter time question up again it is reported that a bill for nationwide daylight saving will shortly be introduced by the government at ottawa as a necessary measureone of the purposes of the bill is to conserve electric power for war production but how that can do it we have not learned if all industry work ed on the same hours there would still be the peak loads whereas with one large town or city on daylight saving and another on standard time the peak is spread anyway we cannot see the sense of this daylight muddle at all why can we not all remain on standard time and simply start work at 7 instead of 8 or 8 instead of 9 that would meet the same purpose and there would be no muddle when you really think of it daylight time is merely a kidding time by adjusting the hands of your watch or clock to give you an hour that is not correct with the proper reckoning of time in this country if the hours of labor could be adjusted without interference with the clock then the farmer might be able to pursue his way working with the sun congratulations o
