the tribune stouf f vllle ont thursday june 15th 1944 gjij imiffmu ribun established 1888 r r member of the canadian weekly newspaper association and ontario quebec newspapers association issued every thursday at stouffville ontario eight to twelve pages latest paid circulation 2075 subscription rates per year in advance in canada 200 in usa 3250 a v nolan son publishers notes and comments publicity of some magnitude few ontario towns came in for any more publicity the past few weeks than did our own lovely village of stouffville through the home town paper capturing the clark mem orial trophy the newspaper field newpapers right across canada published the awards which added to the repeated times it was announced over the air summed up to millions then last thursday night the editor was accorded a place on cfrb program ontario panorama to mention our town again and to associate our community with some of canadas distinguished men it has given the tribune great satisfaction to have accomplished what we have so that we were in a position to publicize stouffville on a scale seldom done before too concerned with trifles swooping in on rural church goers in whitchurch town ship as they were going to or from church and charging them with not having a license plate or failing to have their registration card looked like police business to us surley men of the county force have other more impor tant work than to visit the heart of a purely rural farm area where the church goers are caught not niore than a mile or two from home without their registration card some farm ers carry such papers in their working clothes since they are on the farm in them more than in their sunday best and it is quite understandable that they might be caught unpre pared in the home neighborhood if police officers are so minded as to hunt them down at least one bethesda farmer returning from bethesda church received a double summons to appear before magis trate keith on these two counts last week another bad phase of such business is that forcing a busy farmer to leave the land and spend a good part of a day in the city answering these charges as was the case in this instance six enough to pay on ottawa has promised a bill this session providing a monthy bonus for childien and when announced it was at once pointed out that quebec stood to gain most from such a social step that province piobably has not as high a liv ing standard as ontario consequently a bonus of 4 or 9 per month per child ould mean more in quebec however those big quebec families of 14 to 18 child ren piesent a problem if the government intended to hand out so much per child regardless of the number in a family the toronto star is authority for the statement or sug gestion made a few nights ago that the bonus will not ex tend beyond perhaps the sixth child no doubt the star merely intended to tip the government off on how to get out of the situation as between quebec and the other pro vinces anyhow the idea is sound and the government woud be very wise to act on it a black eye for quebec for several years the jewish congregation of beth israel in quebec city have fought against intolerance and obstructionism in their effort to build a synagogue they won their fight which rests firmly on the ground of free dom to worship and were within a few hours of consecrat ing the building to its religious purpose when incendiarists set fire to it police are investigating the occurrence and it is yet too early to apportion blame but it does seem clear even at this juncture that the fire was caused by intolerant per sons imbued with prejudice and hatred the mere mischief- maker does not go to these lengths to gratify a passion for trouble this fire was characterized by careful preparation inflammable material was poured on the windowsills and the incendiaries carefully chose a moment at which they could throw lighted torches with impunity incidents of this kind have a nazi odour about them and it is regrettable that they should occur m a province like quebec self reliant towns many small town weekly newspapers says the printed word report that local organizations have set up postwar committees these committees try to find out how many jobs will be available for the tooys when they get out of uniform so far it has been noticed few small towns are propov ing that local problems be settled by having the dominion and provincial governments spend money locally to provide jobs perhaps the small towns realize they havent the po litical influence to exert sufficient pressure on ottawa and provincial capitals this is a pleasant contrast to the great cities where there are organizations which are asking or intend to ask that the dominion come forward and help in a big way the bigger and richer the cities are the more certain they are that the taxpayers in smaller places should help them out must watch our step picton times kr wilson m the financial post says canada will have to work hard to maintain a big market for her bacon m britain after the war while britain appreciates our efforts in stepping up bacon production it is foolish to think that the british mar ket is going to keep canadian bacon on that record mr wilson states that two years after the war is con cluded the danes will ibe in the market again in a big way it is claimed that denmark will always have the edge on canadian bacon so long as our export bacon comes from grainfed hogs as danish bacon is a complementary of the dairy industry danish bacon is claimed to be more uniform and of better flavor because it is tied closely to the butter industry and can make use of dairy products such as skim milk this better favor is questioned by canadian bacon raisers if canadian bacon is delivered in as fresh a stage as danish it is claimed the favor will be as satisfactory canada must produce a high quality bacon and be able to supply the demand but it is a certainty that to keep the british market we will have to purchase goods in exchange wptb questions typical questions consumers have asked the wartime prices trade board this week are answered by the central consumer branch com mittee q where can i exchange my can ning sugar coupons which 1 do not need for preserve coupons a the exchange can be made at your local ration board with the d coupons
