the tribune stouffville ont thursday july 22nd 1943 qjjj tmffftriu gjritmue established 1888 member of the canadian weekly newspaper association and ontario quebec newspapers association issued every thursday at stouffville ontario eight to twelve pages average paid circulation 1850 subscriotion rates per year in advance in canada 200 in usa 9250 a v nolan son publishers notes and comments thinking without partyism we cannot recall an election in which the spirit of par tyism was so noticeably absent as it is at the present time excepting for a few of the older died in the wool followers of one or other of the parties people are doing their own thinking this time and that is what will make it hard to de termine in advance the final outcome of the provincial con test that will be decided at the polls on august the 4th men gather around and discuss matters or platforms of the parties and their past records quite independent of party and that is a fine thing there is a total absence of the heat of other campaigns and we doubt that the old rivalry will be worked up before election day the crowd discounts the known party man and is not impressed with his biased views any more the day is gone for the politician who sees everything that is right in his party and all that is wrong in the opposing parties candidates will be judged on their records and their ef forts in the past to better our conditions those who have the responsibility of office should be given consideration it is easy to sit on the sidelines and criticize but not nearly so easy to govern where is hitler has anyone been wondering what has become of hitler it is a long time since the great and only adolph appeared before a concourse of his worshipping people to assure them that victory was in sight that all they had to do was to hang on and trust in him to bring them through to the goal of their desires we do not even hear from him indirectly it was the practice when he was unavoidably absent on some festive occasion for one of his stooges to explain that he was too busy at his headquarters where- ever that might be but lately he seems to have just drop ped out and his propoganda minister performs in his place strange that der fuehrer is missing when he is so badly needed 1ssf im v control of public health the application of dr f j rundle m 0 h for the township of east whitby for fixation of salary which was recently heard by his honor judge coleman raises an important question as to the authority under which our local health officers operate the whitby gazette wisely points out it must be obvious to any thoughtful person as app arently it is to judge coleman as indicated by his remarks that there are at present too many jurisdictions having to do with the public health service of a municipality the municipal council is required to pay the salary but cannot dismiss an officer or enforce its wishes in matters of public health the provincial board of health says who shall and who shall not be employed as m o h and the county judge is empowered to fix the salary the legislation should most certainly be amended to centre authority in either the municipal council or local board of health or the provincial board should be required to assume full not partial respon sibility for the maintenance of a proper health service in every municipality in the province there is much room for improvement in the present unsatisfactory system juvenile delinquency a great many editorials have been written about juvenile delinquency but we hesitate to admit there is any delin quency since we are so impressed with the many fine young people confionting us almost daily there never was a finer lot of young people attending school at stouffville than the students of last term who could say there is any child del inquency here however there are certain changes taking place due to the war if you wish to blame it on the war that are alarm ing to say the least for instance the sunday school in so many denominations is falling apart since attendance is steadily but surely dwindling then locally within the past week we are confronted with such instances as two youths from toronto under 17 being picked up in this district with a stolen car and still another pair not much older being found drunk by the police within five miles of town accompanied by two women in the same condition this sort of thing is all too common but what are we to do about it look about for the cause and you are bound to come to the conclusion that most of the trouble is due to bad home training or no home training at all too many mothers in the larger centres are off to war plants whereas their real duty is to look after their small family we cant blame the dwindling sunday schools on the war because the canker was evident before war started per haps it is the root of the dwindling church attendance par ents not interested in the church can hardly rear a fam ily that is interested in the sunday school there are plenty of people who think the present trend ofsociety and juvenile delinqency is due to a lack of interest in the church and they place this as a primary factor with the war a close second as a menace to proper home life there is nothing that will revive the church like the old- time revival it gives you something that will stick it makes the believer selfconscious of his personal res ponsibility to god as nothing else will do yet many people laugh at the memory of revival meetings a weekly editor looks at ottawa tot cfc wily mmttpopws of caodb by jim greenblat night of july 9th while brooke claxton parliamentary assistant addressed a sparse somnambulent house on external affairs i had the feeling somehow that momentous things were in
