publisher jis tiomaj assoc editor notes and comments public meeting helped cause of sewers the public meeting- sponsored by the stouffville municipal council on friday night definitely aided the cause of sewers in the municipality while the temper of the meeting was favorable a number of citizens were completely sold on the idea of a sewerage system on the information given out at the meeting several told this writer that they had not been very keen on the idea but were now definitely in favour of the pro ject following the meeting as stated last week in this column the matter of how the job is to be financed could have a bearing on quite a number of votes and council would be well advised to make public their plan for such financing before june 13th if as it would appear now all the burden is to be borne by the householders on an assessment basis we know that a number of voters are going to object however if only a minimum flat mill rate is placed on everyones tax bill with the balance being borne on a frontage rate and on the water rate a number of ratepayers have expressed their agreement to vote for the system the fact that only the portion of main st from church st east is to be laid at present would have no bearing on this arrangement since main arteries such as this would naturally be carried on the minimum mill rate further impetus to the electorate to vote favorably was added with the announcement that the house holders and there are many who have drains running into the present storm sewer will have these cut off they must surely see that sewers will be the answer to their problem drowning takes too many lives with the summer vacation season when old and young betake themselves to the banks of rivers and fakes in search of relief from the sweltering heat it is not too early to stress the need for knowledge of the danger that lurks ready to trap the unwary swimmer and boater it would be well also if more of us had a thorough understanding of artificial respiration as a means of saving lives of those who get into difficulties artificial respiration is almost as old as recorded history however it is only in comparatively recent times that methods have been devised that are really effective in early biblical times when someone had to be revived he was placed on his back and hot pitch was thrown on his chest and abdomen it was thought that this hot pitch would cause an involuntary gasp which would start the victim breathing again one mentioned in the bible was that used by elijah who when he found a boy had stopped breath ing laid his weight on him and removed it repeating this procedure until breathing was restored another method consisted of placing the victim over a bentover sapling and moving the sapling up and down to restore respiration in the 19th century the victim was lashed face downwards over the back of a horse and the horse was set off at a trot with the belief that jogging would force air in and out of the lungs in the 18th century the french introduced the method of rolling a drown ing person over a barrel to take water out of the lungs however it is known now that very little water gets into the lungs in drowning last year between 900 and 1000 persons in canada lost their lives by drowning perhaps there were some people around when some of these victims were re moved from the water but they could not do anything to help them the devotion of a little time to learning artificial respiration will help reduce this needless loss of life oshawa times summer kitchens out through the ontario countryside farm house wives are making their annual transposition they are moving into the summer kitchens there they will be doing their cooking baking and serving of meals until the cold weather of autumn drives them into their winter quarters a large proportion of ontario farm homes have two kitchens or at least two large rooms they use for that purpose during the winter the room which might more properly be called the dining room is used it is in the main part of the home and warm the summer kitchens normally are large rooms affixed to the back part of the home in some cases they are of frame construction contrasting with the brick of the main part of the house they have a back door leading to the vegetable garden and a front one opening onto the lawn by opening both doors the housewife can take advantage of whatever breeze there may be during the hot summer weeks it is a handy arrangement with the cooking done in the summer kitchen the main part of the house can be relatively cool also it can be kept clean with the menfolk and their dusty clothing getting no farther than the outer kitchen from morning until bedtime it is a sign of the advent of warm weather when the women transfer their activities to the summer kitchen folk brought up in spacious farm homes with summer kitchens attached never get quite accus tomed to the tiny quarters which pass for kitchens in most modern urban dwellings queens honors an editor as a young man george w james of bowmanville had three ambitions to become editor of the states man treasurer of his church and mayor of the town he achieved all of them earlier he evidently thought of becoming a doctor and as a junior matriculant registered for the university of toronto medical course he did not follow that tip but now becomes a doctor all the same queens university last week conferred lipon him an honorary lld in recognition of a great variety of public services bowmanvilles weekly newspaper 100 years old was acquired 77 years ago by m a james father of the present editor and has been in the family for three generations the editors nephew and business partner john m james has been mp for durham constituency since 1949 george james son william won rank of major and a dso in world war ii due in great part to the personality of george james the statesman has long wielded a wide influence and its editorial page is widely quoted the paper is its editors vocation his hobby and a public trust to be administered honestly and fearlessly a lesson he learned from his father dont be afraid to express yourself peopie will respect the young in heart ir is ramventty said that a man is just as old as his arteries many a man is as od at forty as another at ninety in other ways men diiler especially in their outlook on life it seems to me that older people are more cheerful and tolerant than they appear to have been even half a century ajo what kur people young in heart i dont pretend to have the whole answer but i do know some things and they are a sense of humour is a great help many years ago i went to small town to preach 1 was met at the station by an eightyfour year old man with a horse and buggy he was a lively old man j and so was his horse i got into the buggy with some hesitation ithen i pulled a boner i said isnt that a lively horse for an j old man to drive 7 he answered it certainly u and i wouldnt i let an old man touch her the eightyfour year old min chuckled and i knew i deserved the rebuke later i found this od man was the liveliest and bestloved man in the town his sense of humour was irrepressible every sunday he conducted a bible study class of sixty members he reminded me of a humorist tom hood who in his list illness had a large mustand plaster put on hii chest hood always a small man looked at the plaster and said that is an awful lot of mustard for such a little bit of meat when peofle act naturally 1 think they will live longer and be happier in j m barries book the little minister he tells o the lively yount minister coming to church on a windy sunday and his hat blowing over a fence he leaped over the fence and crabbed his hat the old people were shocked and called a meeting of the officials of the church to discuss the affair the old man more liberal than others protested that the minister had a right to chase the hat to this one solemn official said jif the minister is going to run he should run very reverently what kind of a wiggle that would be ill never know association with youncstkrs keeps people young when the british poet francis thomson was dying he said to those at his bedside when you get to heaven you will find me in the nurseries he had always been a great lover of children if ever i grow impatient with young people i know im getting old oliver wendai l holmes said it is enthusiasm for some cause that makes life worth living that is profoundly true recently a man died in england whom i knew well he retired from teaching school at sixtyfive and began the study of languages and to the end he was thrilled with his interests there is no valid reason why time should write wrinkles on the soul another old man found a hobby in attending childrens parties and being the life of the party he had learned some simple tricks of magic and he enjoyed it as much as the young sters talking about tricks i am reminded of a story of canon ainger once dean of st pauls cathedral he loved childrens parties and was once invited to one in london dressed in full clericals he arrived at the address given him when the servant opened the door he said dont let them know i am here then he flopped on his knees and made for a room from which he heard voices he grunted like a pig crowed like a rooster and barked like a dog instead of childrens laughter he was astonished at the silence he looked up to see a dozen ladies and gentlemen looking at him with great astonishment he had the wrong address the childrens party was next door our quotation today is by longfellow what the leaues are to the forest so to the world are children business directory dental for parents only birthdays important are

only on what day they were born but they long to be told how much father and mother want ed a little son or daughter a child will listen eagerly to the story of mother going to the hospital of mothers and dads first glimpse of him of what he looked like when he was tiny a birthday party is a great event for a child it does take extra work and careful plan ning but it is well worth all the trouble this special event gives a child happy memories to look back on when lie is grown and away from home part of the secret of a success ful party is to let the child share in making the pldns for it and assist in the prepara tions encourage a child to print his own invitations and if possible deliver them janey a tenyearold girl asked her mother couldnt i have a doll dressmaking birthday party the

is a suitable show for the younger children if a mother finds that entertaining at home is too much for her strength the guests attending a movie is a substitute for games in some households a

for a birthday it is the love express ed not only in gifts but in a happy shared experience that make it a red letter day birthday celebrations knit members of a family together thus they are
