You're Slipping At the Rotary Club on Fridav the speak- er 's time "as gi yen over to a general dis- cussion of the needs of thîs coinmunîfv. In sarv-ice clubs there are a group of commit- tees who corne under a genieral head of Conmunjity Service Committees. It vas w-ith the communitv service idea iin mind that the discussion of tlie needs of Bo-w- inanville were lield. One member gavea varied list of somne of the needs as Îlec saw thei and it w-as surprising to find that so many tlîings were requîrcd tu make Bo- inanville a live andi progressive town. We hope local citizens wvil1 read in the report of the Rotary Club meetig this 11sf of re- quirements. Everyone of these sug-gestions lias a real place iin the, community. and oie eau rcadilv imagine just what kind of a t.own thîs would be if a genuhme public spirit could be arouscd ini more of oîir cit- izeîîs to sec some of these thing-s accoin- <zplislied. The list, it is true îvould. mean maný more organizations than w-e already have, but ahl serve their purpose in the convumun- ity. To overcome the need of so rnany pub- lic bodies many could be grouped accord- ing to their classifications. For instance it would be far more economical f0 have a general Athîctie Association taking care of basebaîl, hockey and other sports than to have so many individual -clubs. Then a modern Chamber of Commerce consisting of sections, could be arranged devofed to nianufacturers, retaîl merchants. and f0 ratepayers and even a place for "Wood 's Senate." The grouping- of these in oune organization would liot only be l)eneficial from thec vicwpoint of fewer org-aniza tionis. but would brin- about a type of co-o)per- ation between these g'roups that could b)e. 4 achieved in no0 other w-av. Several of the sugg-estions coiild b)e handlcd by existing, organizationls. Foi- instance the crection of the skating riîîk and the formation of a curling clubl could both comle under the Athîctic Assoeiationi. Plans for the erection of a bridge across the harbour, for the installation of an el- evafor in the hospital, for improv-enienits at the harbour, and for the establishmnent of a farîners' market could aIl bc promiotcd 'firough the Chamber of Commerce. The arousing of greater interest ini municipal affairs, cwould nccessarily follow the or- ganization ofi a live Chaniber of Commerce. It is this apathy toward the communitv 's needs, of which we have written at some length this iveck, that kecps these needs froai becoming- actualities. The sooner our citizeîîs, individnally and collectively a- waken to thlése needs. the sooner Bowvman- ville will take its rightful place among the more progressive and prosperous mnicii- palities ini Ontario. A Valuabie Book of Reference The Canadian Almanac for 1938 is on the mnarket. To citizens who nleed f0 b)e w-ell informed at ahl times, this announcemieit is important for the Almanac is one of the fincst sources of general information cxist- ing in Canada. in a newspapcr office we receive hun- dreds of enquiries on scores of subjecfs. Someone wants to know the strcngth of the Canadian Air Force, or w-ho is the of- ficer commanding. Another wants f0 know how many Canadians have fitles. Another may ask who is the president of some Un- iversity, or what is the rate of sucecession duties, in Ontario. Ail tlîese questions and thousand8 more are aiiswcred in the (Cali- adian Alm;anac.
