Despite all the adverse publicity and the presentations which govern- ment received during the last flurry of prosecutions on this matter, noth- ing has been done to remedy the sit- uation. Betting on the horse races at Markham Fair last weekend was all nice and legal â€" and why â€"â€" be- cause the government was getting a nice juicy cut of the proceeds. Not a finger was raised, :13 ‘1'e‘tiéfé. h‘a’Gé been received by the newspapers, everything is up and above board. Stouffville Lions Club is preparing to hold a lucky draw this fall for a new motor car. This has always been an annual event with the club until last year when several service clubs were “jumped on” for holding such lotteries and the local club, fearing similar treatment, called off its draw. Since that time however other clubs have continued to hold draws, retail commercial outlets con- tinue to hold draws without being molested, and the Stouffville club, due primarily to the urgent need for funds to carry on its welfare and youth recreational programs, has de- cided to proceed. at the town-sponsored dinner for volunteer members of committees serving the municipality, Chairman Cliff Bennett of the swimming pool committee asked a]! persons to con- sider themselves members of his committee. This request was echoed by Chairman Doug Hitchins of the civic improvement committee. Both gentlemen are quite right, their committees have a limited mem- bership and their tasks are great. If we are to have a swimming pool lions To Ignore Outdated law It makes sporting éVents more ex- citing and it engenders a deep mile in one’s home school. We are not advocating panty raids or beer drinking afternoons or duel- ling clubs in the tradition of old Heidelberg but this sibling rivalry between schools is in fine best of tra- ditions. And the same sort of thing, paint- ing the historical Louisbourg cannon on the University of Toronto grounds a. frivolous pink, also made the news recently. Apparently the school system makes no allowance for hi-j inks perp- etrated by its vast student body. Local school authorities were re- ported to be very upset over 'an in- cident; at Thornhill Secondary School recently when prankish pupils painted the school football goalposts in a rival’s colors. As one parent remarked on hear- ing of the incident, “The little devils. Isn’t that a marvelous way to show a little initiative and have some fun, too ? The CSCF quickly adopted the pen- ny project as a national campaign. Mothers across Canada have found the banks an ideal way to impress their children with a concern for others. They see it as their contribution to world peace. Poverty and hunger - -c, enw- V In January 1963 Mrs. Lou Posen of Briar Hill Avenue, Toronto, a mo- ther of two who wanted to act for the hungry children in the world, came up with the idea of “Penny Beg- gar" banks in homes and business plaees. The Canadian Save the Children Fund is not looking for “pennies from heaven”. but is looking for pennies from people who feel they cannot make a large donation to feeding the hungry millions of the world, but who would not miss a few pennies given regularly.

Tithe liberal Stouff ville Tribune The government is definitely to blame for the situation as it stands. Its failure to act places law enforce- ment officers in an embarrassing position and particularly in small communities, it deprives all kinds of would-be welfare agencies from be- ing able to operate on a sound financâ€" ial basis. Let’s stop playing ostrich on lucky drawsâ€"looking at them legally in one community and illeg- ally in another. In the case of the fair, the proceeds are for private gain but this doesn’t matter. In the case of the service club, the proceeds will all go for the public good. Certainly the service club has more to be said for its oper- ation than the other. Let’s be real- istic about this matter and let’s not try to make a moral issue out of it. Such talk is ridiculous. In the case of our town service club, many cit- izens welcome the opportunity of contributing to the town good in this manner. Surveys have shown that most favour such operations and all can benefit, so let’s not have a few “narrow” individuals wreck the bene- fit by their cries of horror. Objectives of both committees are of great importance to every resident of the town and can be )realized only with the full co-operation of every- one. ' which will serve the needs of the community on a year-round basis and if we are to improve the appearance of our town to an appreciable extent, all residents of Richmond Hill will have to consider that they are mem- bers of these two committees. Your Help How ridiculous to get upset over a little paint when students in most European countries and not all that far over the Ontario border express their feelings on matters of freedom and individuality in mass demonstraâ€" tions and vivid speeches. never hurt anyone, except perhaps the school maintenance men who may have to spend a little overtime erad- icating the tangible mischief- Thig is not malicious damage but we suspect this is the light in which school board officials ,are viewing it. Each bank, when filled, holds $4 which is almost enough to support a. child in an underprivileged country for one month- Just one penny buys ifive glasses of milk and 10 are en- ough to feed a family for a week We suzeiy hope we in Ontario are not turning out automated little gen- iuses in the single-minded pursuit of education as surefire insurance for a large bank account? If you are interested in having such a bank in your home or place of business a phone call to Mrs. Wil- liam Swarbrick at 285-6115 will bring one to your door. This period in a young person’s life is the ric‘hest and most reward- ing, and spiced with a little fun and games of this nature, should make an indelible impre$sion. - Certainly, the painters deserve a firm rebuke but their actions should be considered only in the light of what was intended . . . a harmless expression of their youth and vital- ity. A penny is not worth much in purchasing power in Canada todav but in the Penny Beggar bank it will add its weight to all the others and help feed the world’s hungry masses. The project has already raised more than $13,000 and pennies are now rolling in from 17,888 banks at the rate of $1,000 a month. breed war and if you feed the hungry you remove this threat to world peace. ‘, Oct. 15, 1964 \1ID For the benefit of new mem- bers who may not be acquainted with Legion orientation. the Province of Ontario is divided into districts. lettered “A" thru “K". and each district is subdivided into numbered zones. Richmond Hill Branch 375 is in District “E". Zone 2. While District "E” has its southern border at Steeles Avenue it would be difficult to-define, here, the exact area it encom- passes. For those interested however, there is a good map to be found on the front page of this months first edition of the “Enterprise". This is something new on the scene for which we must thank At dinner. the Huntsville Mayor Bert Tibbett. welcomed the members from all-branches in the district. He also afforded a special welcome to a certain “Sergeant Bilko" and his police escort from Richmond Hill Branch 375. It is evident that the fame of Comrades Barrott. Berseth and Tisonis is not con- fined to the boundaries of Zone E2 The next district meeting is scheduled for April 3 1965 in‘ Orillia. Several awards were made in- cluding a meritorious service medal to the district sports chairman; Woodbrldge Legion Branch 414 received the award for attendance at the meeting. It was unfortunate. but had there been three more delega- tes from Richmond Hill. our branch 375 would have walked off with this award. it is a pity that some of our more well pro- portioned comrades cannot count for two on occasions such as these. The fall meeting for district ‘E' was held October 3 at Hunts- ville for the main purpose of receiving reports from all dist- rict chairmen. Delegates met in the morning and again in the afternoon and a very good at- tendance was reported. The parade, as is usual with Legion affairs was quite spectacular and made quite an impression on many “Huntsvillities”. The district ball held in the evening rounded off an exciting day for all.

They cheer her on from the sidelines and she con- fesses that if it wasn’t for her wpndrously co-oper- (Continued on Page 12) Marg. Heron, wife of Bill Heron, Thornhill, and mother of Ricky, Pamela and Wendy didn’t intend to go to university. She felt she could get her grade 12 but as she went along with her high school course, her sights began to rise and the entry into grade 13 became a reality. It was halfway through the grade 13 course when she began to entertain the thought of going to university. Her reason? “I wanted to have a more interesting life,” said Marg. “At first the most interesting way of life was hav- ing a family but as the children grew older and less dependent on me, I began to realize my dream of an education was possible.” Finding time was at first a problem, but Margo aret learned to organize time and make the minutes count. She rises at 6.30 in the morning and does as much housework as she can before she leaves for Xork University. 'The cliidren do their share too.‘ There is 'no sleeping in n the we‘ekends for her. She must be up and about, ,working and study- ing. rShe reads voluminously every night and study periods vary as the season advances. Her social activities are kept to the minimum to allow her the benefits of this continuing educa- tion which is giving her a rich sense of being a growing and developing person. Following are the stories of tvdo married women who went back to school to complete their education with the full and loving support of their families. Their problems were different and the Heron childâ€" ren are older than the Stoneman children. What Mrs. Heron and Mrs. Stoneman have in common is a new feeling of aliveness, a sense of using all their powers in this extra dimension that has been added to their lives. More and more women today are seeking self- expression outside the home. Many are doing it. in voluntary services and others through continulng education with specific goals. The time has come I think for all of us to realize that a woman must keep her eye on her own life as well as that of her family if she is to be a complete and integrated human being. Moreover, pioneering and adventur- ing are not just traits that belong to the male sex. They belong to women too. And as a man does not lose his status as a husband and father when he communicates with the rest of the world, neither should a woman lose her status as a wife and mother if she happens to be adventurous enough to choose a vocation outside the home. To be adventuresome is a good quality in anyone. For most of us who are women, adventure is in short supply because it cuts across the needs of our other natures. All the same, those women who feel this impulse to learning should satisfy this proper craving whenever they decently can. It is good for anyone to recognize the actual or potential artist, scholar or social being in oneself and take steps to do something about it.

The wide windows look over a beautiful, well treed, rolling countryside, icomplete with brown cows graz- ing in a pasture; and a friendly homelike touch is provided by ‘the smocked members of the various hospital auxiliaries who perform many valuable l volun’ teer services, such as deliver- ing the» mail to patients, attendâ€"i ing to the flowers, pushing the shopping cart around, and man- ning the gift shop. I saw at least six familiar faces from Thornhill during my short stay and am sure that patients from‘ other districts had the same1 pleasurable experience. DORIS M. FITZGERALD‘ I attended a Vaughan Town- ship Cpuncil meeting in Maple on October 5 and came away with two definite conclusions. To illustrate this point, they voted to have a referendum at the coming election as to whe- ther the township should have a centennial library project and First, council seems to trans- act a large part of their busi- ness in committee. This is an easily abused system, allowing by-laws to be discussed without any council member having to clarify their position before the public because of the ab- sence of the press. Secondly. the council seems reluctant to reach a decision on any pertinent matter. This is a million dollar business and we cannot afford indecision by our board of directors! Dear Mr. Editor:â€" Women wearing high heels are being barred from the opening and closing ceremonies of the Olympic games in Tokyo. An official says, “Some woman might get too excited and spike someone sitting beside her." So, you might say, the Olympic Games don’t want O-Iimpâ€"ic Dames. Defense Minister Paul Hellyer announces that the first results of the unified armed services will be seen in 1965 with the elimination of a thousand military positions ranging from majors to brig- adiers. . . . Sort of polishing-off the brass. Toronto has approved a by-law to grant a termite- elimination loan of up to $250 to any owner-occu- pied home in the city. . . . Apparently tenants rent- ing on a lease are considered to be term-ites them- selves. Each floor has, we suppose, its own special customs.

Lee Harvey Oswald‘s mother was quoted in a Toronto interview as saying, “There are many, many inaccuracies in the Warren Commission Re- port ” .But none of them, regrettably, are the important ones that might have been made by her son on that deplorable day in Dallas. - Ontario and Quebec have been asked to study a plan to dam-up their northern rivers as they flow into James Bay and bring the water in canals to replenish the low-level Great Lakes. . . . Sounds pretty far-fetched. Toronto’s Mayor Philip Givens says he has a. new plan for the redevelopment of the south side of Queen St, opposite the city hall. . . . That is, a new, new plan. Many innovations have been incorporated in this new build- ing. One is the communica- tions system. In response to your buzzer a re-assuring voice asks from a grating near the head of the bed. “Can I be of help?" You murmur your needs and know that assistance is on the way. The United States water-survey commission pre- dicts that Lake Erie and Lake Ontario will be down a further four and five inches next year. It must be all these instant just-add-water mixes that’s causing it. The government of Trinidad has banned low- calorie soft drinks as prejudicial to the sugar in- dustry.

Allan MacEachen, Minister of Labor, introduced into the House of Commons last week, the new Canada Labor Code, which he declared “breaks new ground in the field of la- bor standards not only in Can- ‘ada but on this continent". The code will apply directly to 500,- 000 workers, roughly 10% 01 the Canadian labor force in in- dustries under federal jurisdic. tion: Crown agencies, transport, banking, broadcasting and com- munications, uranium mining. grain elevators and feed mills. or great significance to Can- adians. is the proposed new National Labor Code for Can- ada. Canada's first Minister of Labor for this nation, Sir Wil- liam Mulock. whom many of us remember as the federal mem- ber representing our constitu- ency of York North; instituted the first series of labor rem forms. Since then, successive federal governments‘ have in- itiated further labor legislation in keeping with the nation's 1n- dustrial advancement. A basic minimum wage of $1.25'per hour is provided with an eight hour day and a 40 hour week. Also included are two weeks vacation with pay and seven paid holidays‘annual- ly. These of course, are mini~ mum standards and it is hoped that employers in other fields will follow the federal govern~ ment. As an employer myself, IhaVe always felt it was better to pay more than the minimum, in order to attract the very best calibre of skilled people. Other people argue that in raising the minimum wage that it will act to the detriment of Canada's foreign trade. I am sure that this will not be the case. 1.
