cihjghwaysd mjrxie 1ub kindly takc is now in force the bylaw was designed to re strict the use of the town streets as permanent parking lots for weeks and even months at a time it also requires everyone to park in a manner not dangerous or as an obstruction to traffic while the bylaw restricts the hours of parking on the street to five hours at any one time if one parks their car out of the way of traffic and does not attempt to use the street as a garage it is unlikely that they will be hampered by the law so far as we can learn this is the first bylaw stouffville ever had to regulate motor traffic and it may be enlarged at some future time to deal more specifically with the manner in which cars shall be parked few towns are without a motor traffic bylaw and the wonder is that we have gotten by so long without one it will enable the constable to handle his business with more authority in respect to offenders who unthinkingly would block the street for long periods tixcax day morley brown will conduct a tin can day throughout the town on monday and tuesday next week april 10 and 17 tin cans and other scrap will be accepted but no vegetable matter householders are requested to place the stuff for the dump in old cartons or other containers con venient to the street mr brown will make the usual assessment on each householder yet it is hoped that everybody will avail

miss grace bell of stouffville from her brother claire who has been overseas now for several years just another letter from one hos pital patient to another on this se cond day of spring a fine morning it is too bright and sunny with cool breezes coming through the open window i have spent twelve days in bed and as my trouble is now clearing up the mo said i could get up this afternoon the familiar dress blue suit white shirt and red tie has- been neatly piled in my little stand all along today we shall see how it looks both of us must be eager to slip back into the old workaday world as amended but we must re member that the times will be very transitional with socialism making a strong bid for public support to whom do the resources of the world rightfully belong to small groups or to the people as a whole if the latter then there lie ahead much earnest thought and careful labour since it will require time to effect transfer of ownership from private to public capifal unless your childrens birthright includes a share hi the countrys resources how can you know they will find employment to support life as it is now they must sell their labour to private capital for what it will bring while the real cream of the results of their labour namely pro fits is skimmed off by the owners i hope within the next twenty years to see society so organized that each- baby born in canada is automatically heir to an interest in the total- wealth of his country this would ensure among many things proper maintenance during early life education to the limits set by his own capabilities and certain employment at suitable work everyone fit to work must work in order to produce the wealth necess ary to support such a society a properly socialist society is on ly attainable through a high stand ard of citizenship and superior thinking when opponents talk of socialism being a mere greed on the part of the lower classes for things which do not properly belong in their hands that is- a- boomerang- for who set them up to portionout the worlds wealth well it is a long story and a pretty serious one so let us start to creep first and then to walk a bad figure that lest we fall and lose confidence i have been out in the sun chatt ing and looking at the mountains very good to be dressed again though i found i had less strength than i thought it seems that even a few days in bed soften you up still the fatfree diet keeps on which involves chicken every day tough eh see how selfcentred i have become writing about my self all the time there are no visi tors except for the odd chap dropp ing in to see a chum thank good ness it is not an italian hospital as we make less of company among ourselves here most of the chaps being british with a sprinkling from the rest of the commonwealth no need to be lonely you see then there are the waafs and the red cross which help fill our needs for little extras claire bell clergy and businessmen lay plans for victory
