5fc mour capital correspondent written expressly for the stoosville tribune by dean wilson lasa result of the defeat in the last general elections of premier kingrthere is considerable doubt inxhe minds of many people how thehead of the government can carry on bis official tasks without being even a member of parlia ments with this being strewed in particular now that parliament has been indicated as meeting towards the end of august- however it must be pointed out- that even if the premier would not be elected to parliament when it would meet it can continue its work in fact in 1925 premier king was also defeat ed in the general elections of that year in the north york constitu ency though his party came to power so that he carried on as head until he was elected in a by- election in the second month of the following year with the parliament l mr and mrs a hagerman and meeting at least a month before the family are moving to maple grove byelectioh and it operated under and were tendered a farewell party theleadersbipofnhe late rt hon on friday evening laxes to stouffville public zr ratepayers in pickering town ship may look for a reduction in their taxes this year when the annual bills go out despite the fact that the township council struck a general tax rate one mill higher than last- year the general rate will be five mills instead- of four i t wasfdecided tuesday evening when the tax bylaw was passed t however the governmentis pay ing 50 per cent of the school costs and this will more than offset the added increase in the general rate green river mrs lawrence of toronto visited with mrs j nighswander recently mrs parker spent sunday with the duncan family- mr and mrs a gray and gordon had sunday dinner with mr b parker names are in alphabetical order ernest lapointeon behalf of the government and then premier king took over control after being returned in the byelection there is unusual interest along parliament hill in the general el ections of the united kingdom for a number of reasons especially since there has been no such test of public opinion in the motherland for a long period moreover at least seven prominent candidates in that campaign are native canadians iri- cludihg the two sons of lordbea- verbrookj captain ehc leather a graduate of kingston military collegewing commander huntley m sinclair who needs no introduct ion in ottawa beverley baxter a wellknown writer formerly from canada bartle bull and sir peter macdonald notwithstanding all other events along parliament hill yet it niist be reported at this time that -em- tplbyment still holds the spotlight of- attention in an eminent degree tojreport that it is held in ottawa glad to report an increase in sun day school attendance next sun day will be missionary day under leadership of r carter congratulations to mr and mrs w lade nee ethei ireson on the birth of their son on june 22 1915 the sunday school picnic to woodbridge on july 11th promises to be a big event for our people wptb questions and answers canadas labor needs are still quite impressive especially in certain directions such as construction work lumbering orlogging mining and agriculture revealing a labor 6hortage still is in existence 1 extremely heavy publicity has been given to statements in the united states and canada against some sales campaigns by canadian gold mining interests and there is an impression along parliament hill that such statements of a gen eral nature often not backed by in t disputable facts may be deterrent in their effects arid prdduceastr6ng adverse tendencyon the part of the investment publicagainst sound legitimate investments in canadian mining enterprizes j especially in areas where promising- finds are suspected to exist and where full operations may be more productive soon with the graduaureturnto nor- mal of supplies of equipment as well as manpower condltionsuhat wercheld downby abnormal war- time circumstances in recent years then again it is stressed inwell-in- formedquarters on parliament hill that considerable publicity about supposed or alleged wrongdoing by some people in canada in thesales of securities of this kind in the united states has not mentioned a mostimportant angle and that is that the treaty for the extradiction of criminals between the two nat ions as signedon april 29 1912 has never been ratified by xanada un- til such ratification or approval of this treaty by canadas- legislators has taken place much- of the com- ment in the i united states iwasun- warraritedof course the reference to the sections 31 and 32 article iii of that treaty wherein it is pro vided that extradiction shall be reciprocally granted for offenses against the laws for the prevention of fraud in the sale or purchase of securities exclusive inquiry by this observer in ottawa- has revealed that this treaty also provided clear- ly that thepresenftreaty shall be ratifiedbyithe high contracting v accordance with their 1 respective constitutional methods and on such ratification has been given by cahadaso that adverse comment on canadian mining en- terprizes

difficult and veryex- pensive matter we are hop ing this situation will improve as the summer progresses and so many young people aie using legdo we are making as many full fashioned hosiery in canada as we ever did and ther shoud not be any acute shortage if everyone would buy only what they need q why is sugar so scarce right now i would think with safer shipping conditions it would be possible to get more sugar brought into canada a canada is not the only country needing sugar we only receive our fare share from the world supply the tremendous needs for liberated countries must be met some of thesi people have not had any sugar for many years n canada we must reduce our consumption of sugarrfor tap rest of this year bytwo hundred million x- pounds ferpthatisvny your sugar ration will vbelcut v pounds during the remainder of the year q i sent a rug to be cleaned and the cleaner kept it for three months when it was returned it did not seem much better than when i sent it is there anything i can do about this a there is no wptb regulation governing the length of time it takesto clean a rug or the quality of the work done if you were overcharged for the work done we will be glad to investigate chemicals used in cleaning are still required for military uses and sometimes it is not possible for cleaning firms to give the same kind of treatment to such items as rugs the delay was no doubt caused by shortages of staff at the plant we are sure no 1 reputable firm would want to keepyour rug any longer than necessary naturally they would send it out as soon as ready in order to collect their money q i was asked 46c a lb for com mercial quality round steak and 36c a lb for spare ribs last saturday morning at the mar- ksii am sure these prices are cob high and would like to know the correct prices i should have paid a these prices certainly were too high for commercial quality round steak with the bone left in the maximum price you should pay is 40c a lb if the bone was removed before you bought the steak the butcher could charge 2c a lb more in the case of pork spare ribs side ribs should not sell for more than 26c a lb and back ribs at 32c if you will write again giving the name of the butcher charging these high prices we will investigate immediately primary to grade 1 barbara hare evelyn harper ronald hartley elwood lintner grade tto grade h isobel atkinson

growing interest in township school areas in markham and whitchurch townships as a form er whitchurch boy with teaching experience in markham township and the village of stouffville i should like to give- my experience with this form of school administra tion as a school inspector with 10 of these township- boards in my inspectorate i have had ample opportunity to see at close range just how they work haliburton county is unique in having all its schools with one exception under township boards the areas vary in size from sherbourne with only two schools and one of them closed to dysart with 16 teachers and six school bus drivers on its payroll some of them have been in opera tion since 1938 others for only two or three years but all are working well the attitude of the ratepayers is well illustrated by a man in an area formed just two years ago who stopped me on the road recent ly and in the course of our conver sation volunteered the following statement this new scheme of township boards is certainly an improvement why didnt you persuade them to start it years ago the experience of the minden township school area is typical it came into being in june1939 when the township council passed the necessary bylaw at that time 8 sections in the township combined since then three union sections on its borders which lap over into neighboring townships petitioned their councils to include them in the area they would not done this if the new scheme was not a success the following im provements and economics have been effected during their c years of operation 1 all text books and school sup plies are furnished free to all pupils including grades 9 and 10 2 a music supervisor visits each classroom weekly and all pupils take part in an annual music fes tival a valuable gettogether for these more isolated districts 3 a school conveyance takes high school pupils to a central con tinuation school without direct cost to the parents previously many of these would have stopped at grade 8 or have attended a fifth class in the local rural school a rather unsatisfactory arrangement 4 i modern school- libraries and other school equipment are being added to schools which had very little before 5 all schools have been painted inside and out during the last three years and other long overdue re pairs attended to v 6 a school improvement scheme has been started with- the object of modernizing one school each year this included basement furnace sanitary toilets nodern lighting both natural and electric slate blackboards levelling and planting the school grounds and painting the fence about 1800 per school has been so expended 7 when the area- wasformed there were in all 11 schools some of them with asfew as 4 pupils enroll ed all pupils are now accommodat ed in 7 schools of reasonable size this plan saved about 2500 per year and greatly improved the qual ity of the work being done in the schools 8 this board is now completing plans to begin a special course in crafts and manual training in all its schools for this purpose a skilled and especially trained teach er will visit each class room for an hour and a half each week taking with him tools materials and equip ment for teaching wood work sheet metal work including soldering leather work crepe paper work rope- splicing and general farm repairs this plan has been carried out with marked success in other districts i 9 the secretary of the board visits each school four times per year- thus keeping close tab on needed repairs school supplies equipment and caretaking 10 there is a uniform written agreement with each caretaker on which his duties are carefully out lined so that he knows exactly what heis expected to do 11 when the area was formed the teachers were getting an aver age of 650 per year and changed almost annually now they get an average of 1200 and remain for much longer periodst with a cor responding improvement in the quality of the work being done 12 and last butnot least twhat about the cost to the hard pressed tax payers the first two years of operation the trustee rate was 10 mills the next year 8 mills was sufficient the following year it was cut to 4 mills and further cuts appear possible in the very near future v 13 in some of the sections there were old feuds that prevented good work in the schools the annual meeting of the ratepayers was just an opportunity for dragging these out and effectively blocking con structive programs for the schools under the present scheme these are no longer a factor so far as the schools are concerned in tother sections it was almost impossible to get enough ratepayers out to the annual meeting to carry on busi ness this difficulty is overcome by the new scheme v a question often asked is do younot find that those schools hav ing no representative on the board get neglected my experience has been that in most cases the board bends over backward in an effort to see that those schools get their full share
