Slemon irom Wm. Brown ini England makes a point whicl Canadians shipptag parceis overseas wauld do well ta remember. Five pounds is the limit ta send unless the circumstances are unusual. A paragraph froni the letter foliows: "Yaur last parcel arrived in this country quite salely but we were adviscd by the customs authoriý. ties that parceis exceeding five pounds slauid not be shipped. The alternative was ta procure an import licence or direct tînt At be sent ta the Red Cross. In this case the latter was the only course open ta us but I did sug- gest that it be sent to aur local Red Cross lospital." This information is nat known by many sendtag git parcels ta England and slould be well noted if tley are ta reacli the persan for wliom they are lntended.

ROTARY LEASES PARK FOR DECADE PAY TOWN $10.00 A lexicographer might term it an anomaly that the Otary Club has had to lease their on park from the municipality, but that stateinent does flot tell the whole truth. The confusion only exists in names. Actually Rotary Park has been the property of the municipality for a number of years and now the Rotary Club is seeking ta get cantrol of it again for the purpose ,of'establishing a rink there this wmnter and making the spot a community centre. So terms have been reached whereby the Rotary Club has leased the property for ten years for a consideration of one dollar per year and intends ta start right away on an ambi- tious project. Meeting with a committee from the town council the Rotary Club. decided Thursday evening to take over the park for a Iong-term period and- atternp tot convert it into the community centre it should be. To begin with they will make a fine rink and hockey cushion there this fall and prob- abiy build a dressing room as well. If the scheme pays its way sufficiently it will be further de- veloped. Though stili "in the air," there is sonie thought of further using the park's potentialities. The site has been declared by the Parks Commissianer of the city of Tor- onto ta be the finest natural park ground in this lacality. Therefare the annauncement that Rotary Park is ta again corne into its awn should be greeted with cheers by the yauth of Bowmanville and citizens will no longer have ta tel visiting friends that their town "just hasn't got a skating rink."l. Holstein breeders throughout Ontario have experienced a brisk demand for their cattle recently. Shipments have gone forward ta such widely scattered parts of the Americas as Colombia, South 4m- erica, Porto Rico, West Indies, Illinois, Michigan, Virgmria, New Jersey, Ohio, Pennsylvania, New York and ail the New England States. Breeders from this dis- trict contributing ta these ship- ments are as follaws: G. L. Kel- logg, Port Hope, J. H. Jase, New- castle, W. Luke Buttery, R. S. Worden, Oscar J. Luxton, Bow- manville, and Cedar Dale Stock Farms, Orono. Thirty Women Workers Strike cet Raises At Carnning Factoxy Compromise For 21/ Cent An Rour BaQt.

EDrTORIAL Will You De Your Part? à- Since returning from an 8-day tour of military camps and munition plants ti Eastern Canada, and aur conversations with industrialists, headquarters. offloers and goverrnment executives, the editor of The Statesman la more convinced than ever there should be some plain tafldng regarding the individual's duty in not only winning the war, but of equal importance in planning for the reconstruction period. Ini this third year of war we should do same stock taking. The first t'*a years were spent criticising others. Now let us criticise ourselves. Withaut production at hoioxe, those who go out ta fight for us would stand barehanded ta face Armageddon. This year aur national incarne may exceed five billion dollars. Increased money is ini the hands of everyone. The tendency is ta spend on things we want, on what is called "consumer goods." There is necessity for some* spending on "capital goods," such as housing, factories, equipment. But the downright need is ta put every last dollar we can inta the hands af the government to win this war. Our suggestion, therefare, is that each and every- one af us spend not one thin cime on things we can do without. It is the only way ta win out. Workers, from now on will be producing mostly war goods. Other workers will be producing Wvhat we need ta, buy at home, but luxuries will be absent. Wlat is the meaning of ail this ? Well, there will be fewer things, for sale and a hast of people wanting tliem. That means they wlll compete, bid up, and the price naturally rises. That la what is known as "inflation" and it cari be more disastrous, economically, than war itself. Our task, theri, is ta avoid that. We can do so by refraining from buying or bidding for tliings wè don't need, yet we may lianker for theni. So let us forget about it; save the maney and lend it ta the gov- ernment. We shall have it back with interest after the war. If we don't do that it will be taken, forever, as taxes. The government has the power instantly ta compel every- one ta do wliat is here staggested. Througl the Wartime Prices and Trade Board, pressure will be gradually applied. But what we can do and should do is carry out the plan voluntarîly; in other words, let lt be part of YOUR war effort. SAVE anid invest in. gavernment bonds, in saving certîficates and boans and back ta the limit those ta the armed farces. It is the needful, the rigît, the patriotic thing ta do. This is a very simple thlig the nation wants you ta do. It is riot spectacular. The goverriment pays you ta do it - pays ýyuinterest now and larger civldends ta the stabilization and im- pravement ai conditions which your action will brtag ta the nation. It is your own definite, individual, part in the struggle and the greatest you can make. Save every possible cent and invest it i some fan aio government security. Hundreds Thrill To Message From Noted R~otary Oratoi Explained Youths' Problems P resented Picture 0f Creation 0f Life So Child Could Under- stand - Artists Con- tribuite To Programn. Dr. Claries E. Barker, noted lecturer and teadlier ai the prin- cipies ai lealth and igît-living, delivered taspitang messages ta three Bowmanviile a ud ie n ccs when lienmade a visit ta this tawn on Tuesday, under the sponsor- slip ai the Rotary Club. Speaking ta an assembiy ai higl school students ti the marri- tag, le impressed lis yoùthful listeners wtth the value ai ideals. In the evenmng le spoke at a pub- lic meeting ai parents and yaung people in Trinity United Clurdli. He gave a talk ta the Rotary Club at its noon meeting, dis- cusstag "Rotary By-Praducts3'- Reiating lis views on "lifc'sJ most important jobs," Dr. Barker made a stirring impression on ail lis audiences, froni whidh evcry parent and young petson will surely profit. In lis address before parents and young people in the evening, Dr. Barker told lis listeners that "the most important job in the world was that ai being a inther or a mother." Hie depiored tIc lack ai edu-1 cational facilities for teachtag1 young people these iacts as they, grow, and said tint 1"sîl tlicyi know concerning motherhood and1 iatlerhoad, is wliat they stumble onta by accident and nat wlat tley lenrn ironi scientiiic study." He tald parents that children between the ages ai 12 and 17 are in a criticai peniod, whicl doctorsj and authonities cail the "gang1 period," when children are bouad ta turn ta a gang. "This cannat be stopped," le said, "If yau do't pick out tIc rugît gang for the child ta run with, le will pick out lis own." Descibing tic Boy Scout or- ganization as tic mast valuable in the wonid for training boys ta become valuable citizens, le said it was tIe anc organization suited for boys wla are in the "gang penlod." lHe spokq ai .resuits pro- duced by thc Boy Scouts and urg- cd thc parents ta give their sup- aprt ta Boy Scout troaps in Bow- manville. "'Aiter twenty-iive, yenrs of studying thc boy and girl prob- lem' le sald, "I kaow that it is tIc plain duty ai cvery aduit man or waman ta attend dhurci once a week, filty-two- weeks ai the yean, if merely for tic sake ai thc influence on the yaung people. "Wlen parents do not, go ta dhurci, they are, in eiiect, saying ta boys and girls tînt 'durchIs1 not important'." To thc yaunger People, le also declnred that chiîdren siouid go ta durcI, wlietler their parents do or nat. Hie told them that tley j eed their badies thrce times eacl 1day and added that their souls need iceding at least once a week. The last part ai lis addrcss lie devoted ta social relations be- tween young people, which lie deait wtl in a frank, sensible and understanding mn a n n e r, drawn fram lis many years of experlence in dealtag with yaung people. Preluding Dr. Barker's remarks was a short musical prograna. Miss Ruth James gave twa sangs in a clear, rich voice ta the piano and organ accompaniments ai W. E. C. Workman, and Melville Dale iollowed witl twa well-known sangs stirrtag memonies in the learts aiflits listeners, and par- ticuiariy Dr. Barker who was led ta recount liow le began lecture work. Rotary President Manson Comn- stock was dliairman and welcom- ed the guests and called on Past President D. R. Marrison ta ta- troduce the speaker. From the audience A. M. Hardy rose ta mave a stacere vote ai thanks ta the speaker and Fred Hoar added additional credit ta the Board ai Trinity ChurcI for tlie use of the auditorium, ta Mrs. T. W. Cawker and Norman J. Scott ai the Brook- dale Kingsway Nurseries for a grand display ai floral decora- tians, and ta thc singers and nc- companist. The talk Dr. Barker gave ta the high school students brougît out three requisites for a successful ie, as stated by President James A. Garfield. Thcy are: "A strong arm, a clear head and a brave heart." Dr. Barker lcld the attention ai every pupil and was givea wonderful applause at tIc con- clusion ai lis address. He arous- cd in the pupils a desire for higli ideals in lii e, and the large num- ber ai pupils wlio rcturned ta hear hlm again in the evening, was fine testimony ai the impression lie made on them. At the Rotnry luncleon held Tuesday at tIe Balmoral Hotel thirty guests were prescat ta hear a powerful address that served the needs ai bath licant and head. Many ai the guests were prospec- tive "outpast members" ai Rotary wlo wthl be invited ta join the club. Introduced by Gea. W. James, Dr. Barker wns in fine formn for lis address. Sincerely F. F. Mor- ris moved a vote ai thanks. In bis tallc ta tIc Rotary Club, le dcscribed thc main product ai Rotary as tIc development ai frlendship in mcn. Dr. Banken, in the past cigîteen years las visit- cd more than 2,000 Roary clubs. Dr. Barker spoke ai the higl purposes ai the organization and the success it las lad, thraugl its deveiopment ai feilowship, in preventing international dlaturb- ances. Dr. Bàrken reierred ta the Ro- tary motta as stating a principle that slauid guide business and proiessional men ai the warld: "Hie Profits Most, Who Serves Best." H-ayfever sufferers are ti agany this year. Why? Partiy because of their allergic tend- encies toward weed polIlen and largely because citizens in the rural areas are more lax than ever about cutting weeds. It is no joke. Town- ship dnd municipal councils are taking the matter Up seri- ously. Doctors are joining their patients in the figlit against the- source of the trouble. An immediate solu- tion is that farmers find time ta cut their weeds. Many do flot realize that this can be done at fia expense ta them- selves as township councils will gladly pay for weeds cut on the roadway in front of praperties. As for weeds on private land - they must be cut too; it is decreed by law wliether the awner feels in- clined ta do so or nat. THOMAS DUSTAN COMPLETES TERM IN N. Y.. CLINIC Thomas M. Dustan of Bowman- ville, a senior at Trtaity College, Toronto, wlio recently completed a tlree months' internship at the Bellevue Hospital in New York City, spent the week end with lis parents. Mr. Dustan is a graduate of the University ai Toronto, and was one ai fil ty clergymen and theological students in Canada and the United States selected for ad- vanced, intensive pastoral training in variaus mental hospitals, gen- eral hospitals and correctianal in- stitutions througlout the country. The traintag, rouglly analagous ta that received by medical and dental internes, la sponsored by the Cauncil for Cliical Training, Inc., whicli exists ta assist tleo.- logical students, tîrougl iirst- liand, supervised experience witl people, ta become better clergy- men. The Council coaperates witl 65 theological seminaries in ai- fering practical study and case wark ai a ktad not available in many seminaries. Students in training wark under the direct supervision ai staff mem- bers ai the hospital or institution ýwhere tliey are studying. Tliey work also wîth a clergyman es- pecially trained ta interpret the entire study program in terms ai the miriister's job. The Council aims, ta its pro- gram ai dlinical training, to teadli a better understanding ai people and their problems, aifliow per- sans develop and grow, ai what liappens wlien development la thwarted. Hand in hand with promoting understandtag goes the teacliing ai pastoral methods, bath with those wlo are inlirm in body and mtad and witl the average man and woman. The Council makes no attempt ta teach medic- ine, psychiatry or social work ex- cept ta 30 far as a rudimentary, knowledge ai the work ai thase proiessional gr'oups wiil enable religiaus leaders ta cooperate with other groups in working toward a more abundant life for their peo- pie.

The war stepped rigît inta the private lives af ail Canadians Friday wlien the Dominion Gov- ernment announced a nation-wide licensirig system for ail retail stores, restaurants, manufactur- ers, dealers and pracessars in a nmjove aimed at complete price control ai the 'entire food and clothing trades on the home front. Previously, the goverriment lad acted ta conserve materiais for war industries and divert spend- ing fram non-essentials by plactag quotas on the manufacture. ai automobiles and other products, and lad invoked deaier rationirig ai gasoline and ail with restric- tions an the hours ai sale. But the Wartime Pnices and Trade Board is naw appearing ta f ix the quantities in which ail food and clothing may be manufactur- ed and sold. The licenstag provi- sion carnies with it authonity ta cancel licenses, which would put a stare operatar or a manufacturer out ai business for failure ta abide by the board's arders. In plain terms, business men, large and small, in the food and clothing industries may sell gaads only U, authonized, and at stated ceilirig prices when the regula- tions came into full eifect. This is expected by Christmas. Article No. 2 "THE ARMY" By Bruce M.
