Ail the lessons we ilcarn in this life are but a pre- Sparation for the ncxt, lic cx- Iplained.

Frank Riokard Refutes Opponents With Details of War Supply Bd. Appointments An enthusiastic audience ai Bowmanvillc and suraunding township Liberals lent an atten- tive car ta the aratians o! their candidate, W. F. Rickard, and thrce othen speakers, at thc Town Hall liere an Saturday night. This marks the second meeting ai Uic politicai campaign whicli las been held in the town. Mr. Rickand led off the pro- grami aiter licing introduced by Harold Macklin, President a! Uic Durhami Liberal Ass'n. He nefut- cd statements, whicli le claimed had been made at a neyent Con- servative meeting hcld hene, in cannection witli appointments ta, the War Suppiy Board. Accord- ing ta Mr. Rickard, 98 appoint- ments have been made instead of 67, with 18 Conservatives, 9 Lili- erals and thc rest frain the civil service witliout politicai tics. "Sa far as any loaa appoint- ments, in whidh I have playcd any part, arc conccmned, tlicy have been made an menit alone and I believe, ta evcryanc's satisfac- tion," le stated. The record of tle King Govenn- ment was rcviewed by the candi- date with special cmphasis being laid on proof that a great deal had been accamplished. He recit- ed the defence expenditures made since the Liberals took office and stated that the Conservatives who are now saying that the war ef- fort was not sufficient, werc most critical in 1936-7-8 because the King Government was spending more on defences than they deem- ed necessary. One of the main reasons for calling an election at this time is because of conditions on the Wes- tern Front, he cantinued. Every- one expeets a great offensive in the spring and if that occurs there will be many prabienis ta decide. Any gavernment which has ta make these decisions should have a definite mandate from the peo- plc. If the Liberal gavernment had not called an election scon, the Conservatives wauld say that we were afraid ta go ta the coun- try. Now, the election wiil be well over before spring and the government will be able ta con- centrate every effort on winning the war without the prospect of an election staring them in the f ace. Our' apposition is making quite an issue of the need for youth training, but fail ta point out that the King government has con- <Contlnued on Page 12) SOLDIEREVEALS SALVATION ARMY PART IN LAST WAR 549 Bethune St., Peterboroughi, March 8th, 1940. Dear George: I was pleased ta sec the photo- graph of Col. Lamne McLauglilin, as sponsoring the Salvation Army Campaign for funds, as no one cisc could discredit his sincerity in such an appeal for those who are takmng the place of us, wlio cannot repeat the days of 1914-18. I wondcr if a stary of those days will hclp ta open t>ic hearts of those who are cxpected ta make good out of their sufficiency of these worlds goods. This gocs back ta the days af ter I had left Aberdeen and was as- signed ta Sandling Camp for 'medicine and light duty' and I was nat very weil as regards appetite. Ncwly transferred fron hlis- pital, camp feeding was like sul- phur and niolasses ta the pioncer boys, you took it or cisc - you wcnt hungry - they cauldn't cater ta the roast chicken tastes ta the 'cripples' as we called aur- selves ini those days, and pay day didn't came until you were re- cagnized as being 'an strength' for pay and allowances as you know. I wandered over inta an adja- cent hut, flat broke as I generaily was, and wanted just a cup of coffee and a bit of cake ta fili up thc vaid that existed, and a busy man taok my order witliout waiting ta hear the explanation I had rehearscd of a promise ta pay tamorrow when my ship came in, and as a result lie had ta give it, ta someone cisc who had the cash, in order ta balance his books. Crossing thc raad ta a Salvation Army hut a motherly soul about à ft. higli - and around - with cliceks like a McIntasl iapple, and a smile like niy Mothcr's, said, "Came in Son, you look tired - sit down for a wliile and rest." I liad ta teliliher wliat was wrong with me because I realized she would understand, and lier reply was "What would you like - some fricd eggs and liam and some toast? - I cantinued witli mry story of being broke ta the world but that was brushed aside with thc remark III didn't ask you wliat money yài had, but wliat you fancied son." Wlietlicr she took the respon- sibility for that feast ta a hungry soul I cannot ,say, but I lost no tume on 'pay day' ta sec her, and lier beautiful smile of recognition and (perliaps) surprise at being paid, was samething that will re- main with me as long as I live, and I vowed that if I could boost the Army in my lifetinie by word or cash, I would do it, sa liere I ai as a Bowmanville Boy saying "They niay bang their druni, or blow thieirý'own harn as loud as they likc, but tlicy will neyer dliii the meniory af Sandling Camp and a sick boy wlio was fed what lic desired without îoney, and witliout prive." This is a sincere tribute from anc wlio remembers those far off days naw, which are brought back so vividly by the present caîpaign, wlien the Army stcps into liarness agaun ta pul ananm over tic shoulder of a sick boy and say, "Wliat would you like Son?" BAND "NOT SHOT" PRESIDENT STATES JUST NEEDS FUNDS BdPresident William Shotter Admits Organization In Poor Condition but Determined Badpta Carry on No Politici in Dinh A too ardent supporter of one of Durham's election eoanid la te siadvertentiy started a rumour this week which neariy smashed efforts ta buiid a rik here. He ad- mits that while doig a luttle campaigning he mentioned that a vote for the candidate who, if eiected, would be I the government rather thaif the opposition, might mean much ta Bowmanville s0 far as obtaiig money for a rink is concerned. Withi haif a day, the ru- mour had spread and grown until people were quoting the candidate as statig that he wouid give $5,000 tawards building a rink. When he was approached on the subject, the candidate feverishiy de- nied any such assertion. Those on the other side of the politicai fence and also I infinential positions heard the stary and decided that dirty tacties were beig empioyed. The result was that they ai- most withdrew essentiai sup- port -of any effort ta build a rik, until lt was explained that those I charge knew nothing of the rumour. Tie origin of the faise report was run ta the ground and is here- with absolutely denied as bearing any truth. Incidentaiiy, efforts ta build a rink here are going forward and i that connection we hope ta have definute infor- mation ta give our readers next week - Information which wiii make both young and aid very happy. Town Estimates Increase But Additional Revenue May Maintain 1939 Rate suggestion t o Raise Tax Rate from 40.5 Milis Greeted With Disfavor by Most of Council - Education Estimates Returned Indications Uiat Bowmanvillc's tax rate may be the same as last ycar, 40.5 mills, were evident at a spécial meeting o! Town Coun- cil on Manday niglit. Several factors made Uic low rate seeni alîost impossible ta attain. The Board of Education submittcd estimates whicli wcre $3,731.12 higlier than the combin- cd estimates of Uic Higli and Pub- lic Scliool Boards last year; Pre- mier Hcpburn's cancellation of the lialf miii subsidy ta munici- palities meant a loss ta Uic tawn of $1,144; and cammittee estîim- ates wcrc $1,420 liiglier than last ycar. Fontunately, tliere are ather factors whicli offset a portion of the above increases. The McGil estate lias been producing con- siderabie- revenue whicli las been duiped into the generai tax fund; the macliinery at the aid Slicer factory was sald for sanie- thing over $2,000; a debenture lias been paid off, and council had liopes that the Board of Edu- cation will sec fit ta reduce their estimates $731.12 whicli wouid al- mast make the situation of in- creases in expenditures and in- creases in revenue came out even. Reeve G. A. Edmondstone ec- pressed the opinion that there was s0 mucli that necdcd ta be donc ta tawn property, înciuding the town hall, that tlie rate miglit weii lie raised ta take care of it. Councilior Chas. Searle aiso rais- cd the question wlicther tliis 10w rate meant that tawn propcrty and equipient werc bcing allow- cd ta run down hli and was in- !onmed that that miglit be thc case in soie minar instances, but .that citizens were cntitied ta as ,ow a rate as could be struck. If council is able ta stick ta the 40.5 miii rate, it will actually lic a réduction frai 1939 so far as council is concerned. Last ycar they parcd 3 % mills off the rate anct made it four mills wlien the provincial gaverment grantcd an additional half-mill suýbsidy. This year they have ta be satis- fied with anc mill subsidy in- stead of anc and a.liaif frai. the province. Standing coimittee estimates were as follows: Roads and i réets $5,500; Ccnictery, $1,350; Public Propcrty $6,400; Fire Dept. $6,000; Police Dept. $3,400; Health $ 1,700; Printing and Stationery $500; Direct Relief $1,650. Estini- ates werc laid on the table until next meeting. Estimates allow for an increase of $550 for Healtli, $450 for Re- lief, $50 for Ceîetery, $350 for Police, and $100 for Public Pro- perty. Ail other cammnittees es- timatcd for the sanie amount as last year. Counciliors were criticai of Uic Board of Education estimates with. several rcmarking that Uic hoped-for ecanomy in the amal- gamation of the Public and High Scliool Boards certainiy didn't appear 'in the estimates. Thcy granted that the ncw board liad possibly not been operating long enougli ta make the savings ap- parent and agreed that mucli of the increase was not due ta in- creased spending but duc ta Uic fact that 1939 scliool boards liad liad surpluses frai previaus years ta work on while this board was not s0 fortunate. The two ncw Coundillars, E. C. Evans and C. D. Searle, wcrc ask- cd if' Uicy approved of Uic by- law granting council a salary and agrced that it was fine with theni. A motion ta increase Uic guant ta Bowmanville Hospital frai $500 ta $750 carricd witliout any argument. Records show that over a per- iod o! 10 years, Bowmanville's tax rate lias avcragcd 46.06 nulls -about the average rate of ather tawns in Ontario for the sanie period. Ail menibers o! Council were present at the meeting hld in the Clerk's office. Another meet- ing ta dc!initeiy set the tax rate îay lie hcid to-niglit.

In the meantime, until some- one cisc takes some action, they refuse ta do any more beggmng for funds, but will continue doing what work they can toward train- ing young musicians. Citizens who know how valu- able a band is ta a town will deeply regret that this worth- while organization is experienc- ing difficuit days and, we hope, will do sornething ta rectify the condition. "The Band is net ail shot," said Band Prcsidcnt Wmn. Shotter in an interview this, wcck, "but it is badly bent and sareiy in need of funds. We have lost aur band leader because tlicrc was no mon- ey ta pay him, and members are discouragcd liccause Uicy feel Uiey are net being supported by people of the tawn. But, we shal kccp gaing and if funds are avail- able frai somcwhere, another leader wiil be hired ta carry an."

Chairman Believes that Council is Trying to Set too Low a Rate for Proper Civic Ad- ministration Town Council was handed a rcbuff by the Board of Education wlicn on Tuesday that body un- aniîousiy refused ta lower its estimates to accede ta the parent body's request. Coundil asked that estimates of $32,732.12 be rcduccd ta $32,000 in order that Uic tax r:ate miglit be kept at the same rate as last year. "Our estimates have been care- fully prepared and cvery item lias been cut to rock bottai,"1 stated Chairman Fred Cryder- man. "To reduce ilici further, wauld be doing Uic taxpayers an injury. Ini my opinion, caundil is trying ta strike too low a tax rate for praper civic administra- tion." "This business of retunng es- timates every year is getting ta be toa regular a business. The Board wiil be daung Uic citizens a favor ta stap ih naw," asserted Trustee H. L. Goddard. Othercomments camne frai ail sides affinnuung thc inadvisabllity of cutting Uic estimates anc cent.
