THURSDAY, JUNE 1ST, 1939 Make Life Worth Living -We were greatly interested in the report of the address given at the Young Men 's Club liere last week by H. F. Irwin, Place- ment Officer of the Provincial Department of Labour, wbo la doing a splendid job in tlie spreading the gospel of the Youth Training Prajeet. We heard it said the other day, "Life is a beroic readjustment of onescîf ta anc 's enviranment," and that statement miust be accepted if tbe true purposes of if e are ta be recognized. It is true that animal and vegetable life really adjust themselves ta tlieir environment and it is the sanie with humans - buinanity witli ail its possibilit- ies of nobility must adjust itself ta tbat life for wbicli it was created. Difficulties are bound ta arise, adversity apparently des- troys, the weak succumnb ta ilower standards of living but those wbo readjust theniselves ta their envirannient and eau pour blessing an others ceate tbe joy and bappiness whicb make life wortli living. In view of present day conditions, the youtb of aur land is-called upon to readjust itacîf ta cireunistances whicli demand the greatest courage and sacrifice. There lias neyer been an age in wliicli youtb bas been s0 well equipped, liowever, witli intelligent knowledge and facilities for promoting pro- gress and building upon a solid faundation for the future. In the pages of history it is discavered that youtb, in the ages past, con- tributed ta the pragress of tbe world and liad only meagre equipment with whicb ta work. Youth today is called upon ta take off its coat, rail up its siceves and witb its back ta the wall, make that readjustment ta circumstances wliicb the tumes de'mand, remembering tbat nability of cbaracter will create jay and liappiness in their awn lives and the lives of others. The purpose of life is not the accumulation of wealth or winn- ing the plaudits of the crowd, it is not thie exercising of power - it is the creation of rtruc bappiness and eantentment in thie liearts of liumanity. P¶an,.now ta make life worth living. Support Establiahed Business Bowmanville merebants are facing a dif- ficult situation, a situation that is largely a produet of the tumes, but serions, none the less. Local bakers, in particular, find that out- side concerns are niaking it barder and liarder for establislied places of business ta make a living. Dealers state that these firms, wbo con- tribute practicaliy notbing in taxes ta the upkeep of tbe conimunity and are putting local men out of work are providing # fanm of competition wbicb is difficuit, if nat mi- possible, ta combat. Several of these miercliants bave point cd opt this condition to The Statesman. In tliese days wlicn money is searce, there seems to be no sentiment in business. But judged purely frai the angle of business, is it "good business" for Bowmanville housewives ta pureliase their requirements froni out of tawn finms, ta the detrixuent of the establislied mercliants? t is nat. A town witliout stability is a poor place in which to live, and a poarer place in whicli ta do business. Stability is obtained in any town only tbrougb estab- lishcd places of business. t is the business man witb his store on Main Street wba * makes a bigger and better Bawmanville. Householders shauld remember that wbcn thcy buy tbair requirements. Two Weekly Publishers Pass The wcekly ncwspaper fraternity lost two well knawn iembers last week in the passing of Wni. C.

Nature pays no interest and asks none. The man who puts in lion- est labour of hand or head. cheerfulness of disposition, an unselfisb regard for lis fel- low men and a general decency of conduet is reasonably sure ta receive in return the respect of lis fellçws. the affection of bis friends of whom lie will have a gaodly number, and if flot great riches at least a competence. The man wbo is lazy or indif- ferent in bis work, saur and groucby in bis disposition, is dishoneet, demands great consideration from others and gives littie and that grudgingly ta others, wbo lias no regard for the concepts of decency, will be despised by most of thase wbo know him, and wilI have few friends and they nat dependable. There is na way of cbeating life. To get sweetness out of this life sweetness must be put into it. No sowing of ugliness can ever bring a liarvest of beauty. That which men are reaping taday is wbat they sowed yesterday. And taday is the seedtime of ta- morrow.. Have You Made Your WiII? There is no use dodging the issue. You are going ta die one of these days. Every one does sa eventually. We are lioping that it is not only the last thing wbich bap- pefts ta you, but that it is a long lime before it does happen. But after ail, you bave worked pretty liard for wbat you have accumulated, and if y.ou are willing ta look facts in the face, you know that you have a pretty definite idea of what yau would like ta haixe done witb those accumulations of yours. It is a satisfaction ta know that your assets will be disposed of according to your desires, rather than aecording ta the decis- ion of the courts. The courts are just. but they show no favoritism, and that partic- ular relative you don 't *like taa weIl may born in and get a big slice of your estate, and baw do. you like thinking about what that lazy, loafing no-good will do with the money you worked so liard ta get! Better leave a littie more ta the hospital or the churcli yûiiattend. Wouldn't it save yau and your family a lot of trouble if yau went ta yaur lawyer and had bim draw up a will sa tbat..things would be settled the way you want tbem ta be? It isn 't very smart ta try ta make out a will by yourself. Maybe you don't even know how ta begin a wiIl, and if yau leave out any of the fine trimmings the lawyers put o n tbem,' your family may get trimmed as a resuit. Making a will does not basten your deatb by a single second, but it does guarantee that your fanily will lave yaur memary more because you have saved tbem a couple of lawsuits. Are You Going Somewhere? 01 t is an aid saying that "you neyer sec scum on water that is going samewhere." Scum will arise on water that is stagnant. Poisonous insects will breed on its surface. An offensive odor wiIl arise from its deptbs. t is of no benefit ta mankind. Animals will not drink it. t is dead - a liquid putrescence. Running water - water that is going somewbere - is pure and palat- able. t is souglit after. t gets some- where. t covers territory. t ripples by leaving a sang in its wake. It refreshes the thirsty and weary along its way. In every line of buman endeavar we find tlie stag- nant man- the man wbo is nat " gaing somewbere." He is eonstantly waiting for something ta turn up -and depending upon sameone ta do the turning. He is faund prafessing a knowledge of business ana how ta promote trade, but the resulta lie promises are ail in the distant future. H1e neyer produces the goods. But tbe man wha is "gaing somiewliere,".like a running brook, sings along bis way, and produces the busi- ness. He doesn 't pick it up. Helias ta hunt for it, and when lie finds it lie has ta figlit ta get it on "tlie dotted line.

You may be wrong. I have found it better ta ask a few of the questions than te know ail the answers. Somne peaple, for instance, think that Bowmanville is known the world over as (1) The Home of The Canadian Statesman; (2) The birteplace af Scribe G; (3) The Goodyear to*n; ..AUl wrong. We asked 57 boys and girls ranging from 11/2 ta 7 years af age . .. What is Bowmanvîlle noted for? They ail sald Theu Cream of Barley Camp. These boys and girls, mind yau, are the men and women of to-marraw. Sa don't talk back, Cream of Barley Camp is'the finest 15rivately operated Amuse- ment and Zoalogical Park i Can- ada ... and itsowner and faund- er is Gadfather ta hall a million' boys and girls. There must lie that many boys and girls visit the Park before they put on long pants for gaod. Colonel James Lake Morden hs President of the John bLackay Company. It manufactures Creain of Barley. The Mackay miliila hall a mile due south of the Cream of Barley Camp (as the river runs). It is just off beaten Highway No. 2. If you have not met the Colonel himself, you have something ta live for.

The ateer day when we called, she read a letter from a lady whose husbsud lias been boarding a duodenal ulser ... iA kicks up the devil when lie eats certain teings . . . but thee blandness of Creani of Barley \is a mnateriai blessing. The porridge seems ta slip into his stomnacli and caver tee angry ulser like Duc'a on a Dodge. It seems ta act like J. Lake Morden *gelatine, but it isn't of course, be- cause te Colonel wil have no- *thing ta do with gelatine. James Lake Morden is a sart of gastronomicai John tee Baptist. He does for yaur stemach what John did for tee soul. As he says, "If you eat Creani af Barley, you'll neyer need a piil or a change af ail . . . you just keep rollin' along."

DELGIUM KING ADVOCATES MORAL BEAR31AMENT Brussels, Belgium, May 24. - Mobilization of1 more than 100,- 000,000 citizens of the smnaller European nations to remove through a program of moral re- armaznent the hindrances to world reconstruction, was advanc- ed last night by King Lieopold at a state banquet in honor of Queefl Wilhelmina of the Netherlands. Speaklng later at the function which marked the opening of.her three day visit to the Belgian cap- ital, the Queen assured-her host that she considered it far from an impossibility. "Recently Your Majesty made a strong appeal for moral and spir- itual rearniamrent," said King Lea- pold. "lWith us, too, these royal words have found a response. la it not desirable that your noble initiative should be tried also ini the International sphere? T he small powers of Europe number over 100,000,000. Why should they not decide to have a lasting, com- mon mind in moral and economic spheres? Why should they not, as Your Majestys said, apply this concord to tackling the widle- spread distress and remnovmng thee hindrances which prevent world reconstruction? Such collabora- tion would serve in a practical way the high ideal of peaoe." In replying Queen Wilbelmina said, "The sympathetic words of Your Majesty on moral and spiri- tual rearmament will find a warxn response among my- people. Moral Rearniament need not be bound by political frontiers. I will sin- cerely rejoice if it proves possible to give it concrete forma in wider circles. Like Your Majesty, 1, con- sider- this far froni impossible." Hepburn's campaiign was the cutting down of the cost of grovernihent. His wholesale firiniz of servants bas in realitv meant notbing.

Stovo BHIRAM Dack on the 7th Con a~oi Triumph and Tragedy It was a noble army that went from Clarke Townsbip ta see the King and Queen, and was only in keepingr with the history of Clarke folks' lovalty. At no time lias there ever been anyr suggestion of any other attitude. AIl one has ta do is ta look at the record for. Cijrke Township during the Great War ta be cônvinced that we are a people lovaI and truc. It was a grand day and it wnlI neyer be f orgotten. 947 went by train ta sec tbe .King and Oueen and the most popular persan today is the one who ioat tbe best view or saw the Royal couple the n¶ast times. Such a tbrill for most of them 'kill neyer came again. but the memnory of this day wilI neyer die. The gen- eraI verdict is that tbe Queen is te mast beautiful waman tbey ever saw and that's nuite a compliment com- ing frorn Clarke where beauty is far from rare. But. like tbe fact that every claud bas a silver liningz. so it is truc tha' mast triumobs bave their tragedies. and this was no exception. Tie gang araund the aid box stove were obiects of pity because we bad ta stav borne - but we did get our meals. When the 947 br4ve and true citizens got back ta the train, wearv and hungry, they were antici- pating the enjoymnt of feastingi an those well-prepared sandwiches and quenching their thirst in the big cans of lernonade awaiting tbem. But alas, and alack. the car with the lunches had been switched ta another train and 947 lovaI Clarke citizens had ta came borne bungry and dry.- It was a trying experience and almost spoil- ed the day. Their loyal sangs were turned into: "Oh wbere. oh where. bas myr little lunch gone? Oh. where. oh where can it be?" Now it's aIl over and the trageily i5 forgfotten but tbe triumph remains -and we are aIl agrain singzing "Gad Save The King."
