Richard Greeness One of Bowmanville's best known citizens passed away sud- denly on Friday, May 22nd, in the person of Richard Greeness, aged 74. "Dick" as lie was farnil- iarly known, had been ailing for two years but appeared almost daily on tbe streets, witb a cbeery word for everyone. He bad been around town on Thursday but shortly after retiring on Friday he suffered a stroke from wbicb hie did not recover. Born at Port Hope, lie married Maria Jane Taylor, also of Port Hope, and for 30 years they have resided in Bowmanville. Dick was an all-round workman and a good ane. During bis career be had been a brakeman on the rail- way and a sailor on the Great Lakes, but as an expert painter and decorator be was best known bere. During the last war, at 48 years of age, hie enlisted for over- seas witb the 235th Battalion, but failed in the medical tests and served at home. Funeral services were beld at the residence where Rev. J. E. Griffith spoke feelingly of the deceased. He was borne to the grave by palîbearers who bad known him well, Messrs. Russell Candler, J. H.

The deceased leaves to rnourn him, bis widow, 'three brothers and a sister. mrs. John Rlckaby Sarah Anne Fielding, beloved wif e of the late John Rickaby, died on May 22nd at the home of ber daughter, Mrs. C. A. Cum- ming, 280 Kennedy Avenue, To- ronto, after a long illness. Mrs. Rickaby, who was in ber 9lst year, was born in Clarke Township on Sept. 26, 1851. She was a member for many years of Kirby United Cliurch and later of Orono United Church, in both of which she proved a willing and enthusiastic worker. She was well known for ber charitable works especially in knitting for such organizations as the York Bible Class, and the I.O.D.E. Prede- ceased by ber busband, Mrs. Rickaby is survived by two dau- gbters, Mrs. Heber Souch (Eve- lyn), Orono, and Mrs. C. A. Cum- mîng (Alberta), Toronto, and î three sons, Joseph of Hamilton,1 Harold of Oakville, and Percy of1 Toronto. The funeral service was byeld at the home of hier daughter, Mrs. Cumming, on May 23rd. The offi- ciating minîster was Dr. Murdoch McKinnon, formerly of Runny- mede United Church, Toronto. Dad Thought Embryo Judge Was Studying Engineering J. C. M. German, Recently Ap- pointed Judge of These United Countes-Born in Welland By Gordon Sinclair i The Toron- to Dally Star Jack German, who has three initiais in front of his namne and two after it, has been narncd judge for Durham and Northum- berland counties, which will only surprise those who remember hirn as an electrician. John Claude Manley German, K.C., takes to bis new job the con- viction that being a lawyer is the best job on earth and that mogt people are honest, but... "Everybody gives himself the best of it," the new judge grins. "He wouldn't be human if he didn't." In the whole of Ontario theie isn't a single town-not one- where John German hasn't visited and settled a dlaim. He had many years as dlaim fixer for an in- surance company and doing that work made bim busier than a beagle. Jack Gèrman, at 53, is father of two girls and two boys . .. botb slated to be lawyers .. . and at the moment is in the odd position of being a judge prosecuting a man before another judge who is bis cousin. Isn't 50 Rot at Golf His thick hair and moustache are as white as his eyebrows are black and he bas neyer yet beat- en 100 at golf, but he's a handy man with a knife, fork and spoon. The idea of becoming a lawyer just came to hirn like a flash. He was born in Welland, worked as both carpenter and electrician. then came to Toronto to further h i s electrical knowledge. O n e nigbt after a football game, Jack German decided that, like his father, he'd go in for law. Next morning, bat in band, be stood before Sam Blake (Blake, Lasb, Anglin and Cassels), asking to be articled. He was, and that was that. A few months later Claude Macdonnell offered young Ger- man, a relative, $4 a week to corne witb hirn, and the switcb was made. At this time German's father was sending bim $25 a montli in the belief that the boy was studying electrical engineer- ing. When he discovered that tbe family was about to have another lawyer, German the eider cut off this allowance and, since Jack German couldn't get by on $4 a week, be took a summer job wîth another lawyer at $10, and this led to a clerk's post in tbe county court, paying $12. Becomes Clahns Adjuster This, in turn, headed young German to dlaims adjusting. He started this delicate business on $10 a week and wben he'd doubl- ed that rate he married Mary Kathleen O'Brien. Four years later Jack German graduated from Osgoode Hall and rnoved steadily up the financial ladder Eyesight Education And Ef iciency By C. B. Tuck Opt.metrist Disney Bldg. (opp. P.O.) Oshawa Phone 1516 Number 217 It is because of the influence of the above factors in the founda- tions of character that they are emphasized as vital in the child. Those who are weak physically and undernourished are more likely to develop to a type of lower mental capacity. The defective child witb errors corrected sees a brighter world and bas better, bappier prospects than existed wben the defect waïs a handicap holding bim, severely in restraint. If then the intelli- gence is under a bad influence, be it through lack of proper food, defective vision, or other physical defect, or faulty living conditions, the mental and spiritual life are influenced. If flot corrected in childhood delinquency will follow by more powerful restraint or even punishment. Summing up what is just ex- pressed, we may say the impor-L tant cause of slow developmentl are physical defects, defecgtive vision, improper living conditions, social neglect in educational op- d e Li n e ýt e e e i t r e s r s t s s e r 'fROTARY HEARS DELEGATES a (Intended for iast week) J "The main business taday will sbe the reports of the two gentle- ymen on my left," began President Manse Comstock at the Rotary Club meeting Friday, May 22nd, gbut wben the general laugh indi- ecated that on bis left were but ýtwa vacant chairs, he urbanely -continued, "I should say the twa ydistinguisbed orators and Rotar- sians on my rigbt, who have re- 1cently returned from the Con- 1vention at Niagara Falls, of the r169th District, will entertain us with accounts of their observa- tions," and he suggested that they Lintroduce each other in turn. First on bis feet was M. A. Neal who confessed that be and bis colleague, Louie Dippeil, arrived safely and were assigned ta the bridal suite at the General Brock Hotel, and that from first ta last, Louie had taken voluminous notes and naturally be gave way ta bis' experienced assaciate who had a complete written accaunt of what took place. Louie confessed that he bad attended Grand Lodge conventions as well as many others but could net recail one that bad held more of interest and enjoyment. He observed that the langer it takes ta prepare a speech, the shorter it becomes, but since he had failed ta prepare one he would talk direct from bis notes. After registcring, be and M.A. took a stroîl in the park, the lat- ter witb bis camera, who, ex- pansively greeting natives and complete strangers, told them of the beauties of the Falls and the Parks. The films bave net yet been developed. As part of the programn in the convention hall, the speaker entbused over the Niagara Falls Collegiate Glee Club, wbich was uniformed by funds supplied by the local Ro- tary Club. "Their performance was outstanding; they were amaz- ingly well trained," said Principal Dippeil, wha himself bas had choruses at the B.H.S. of unusual talent. At an early hour next marning they were awakened by an awful >din along the corridors. "Some got up and liked it; others got up -ancd didn't like it," said Louie; it was the bagpipes, you see. He told bow President Ed. BuelI gave a glad welcome and wbo intra- duced the Mayor of the city who, in turn, gave official greeting and "freedomi of the city." Espca welcame was extended tbeh Os Boston Battalion, "the first uni- formed troops from the U.S.A. ta appear at Niagara witbin 100 years." Respanse came from Ra- tarian Hy. Rothwell, who told of a question being put to a 20-30 group of gals, "which would you prefer in a man, wealth, brains, ar appearance?" . .. and the ans- wer was "appearance, the sooner the better," and that theme pro-' vided bis text. Speeches and reports were of intense interest thraughout the proceedings. An ou t sta nd in g speech on tbe Jap menace beld close attention and this was fol- lowed by Bert Trestrail who with characteristic emphasis, lambast- ed apathy and indifference and repeated bis warning, "lwe've got te get into it." Bill Laugheed also delivered an inspirational talk an Rotarian ethics using a car as il- lustration. District Governor Dan McQuarrie discoursed an wby a good Secretary is the backbone of any club, that bulletins were very essential. Louie then introduced bis as- sociate, M. A., wbo told of their motar trip. "Going ta Toronto under 40 m.p.h. wasn't se bad be- cause traffic was quite dense, but until he was collecting $100 a week, plus extras, for winning suits and further extras for hand- ing private cases on the side. He bandled about 1,000 cases a year and bis batting average in court was better than nine out of 10. "~But," be says with candor, "if we thought there was a chance of losing we neyer went into court. Who would?", Although doing fine in dlaims adjusting, German quit and there- after went witbout company back- ing, sornetirnes with partners sometirnes all by hirnse]f. During these days other lawyers labelled Gerrnan "First OffendWr Jack." Not that he hirnself was an offender, and not that he defend- cd first-tirners, but he did, in 15 separate cases, prosecute types of cases neyer before in a Canadian court. For instance, kidnapping. German prosecuted the first man to ever face a Canadian court for kidnapping . . . and sent bim, to the "pen." On bis first appearance in any court German was opposed by the experienced and capable figure of C. W. Bell and on Bell's final ap- pearance in any courtroom it was again German who clashed with him. German won both times. 33 Years Experiene Man and boy, Jack German bas been handling law cases 33 years and in ahl that time be feels be's neyer failed to get an innocent man free of a crirnînal rap. He also thinks be's got several loose wbo were guilty as sin, but in civil cases be's afraid bis score is not quite s0 good. He had been a relieving magis- trate for the past three years, so sitting in judgrnent will not seem s0 very new to him. He tbinks that every young lawyer should sorne time or other get a chance to sit on the bencb "lbecause it teaches him how not to win a case."~ German is five-foot-ten and 185 pounds, likes to potter about a farrn (he owns one north of King- ston), enjoys a drink and a srnoke, goes to mass, enjoys arguments of aIl kinds, but one, and admits to being blunt and outspoken in most everything be says. Now and again this hurts people's feelings, he agrees, but you make more friends than enernies in such be- haviour, he finds. when we got out on the Queen Elizabeth Higbway it was posi- tive misery holding back under the new speed law. In spite of a ,white' car behind we watched it and our speedometer and -'crept' past two or three cars at about 38 m.p.b., and wben the 'Law' drew abreast, we asked 'how're we doing?' and were waîved to the curb," said M.A. "But," said he, with Louie nodding agree- ment, "we talked our way out of a ticket. It goes to show how closely they are checking Up these days," was the advice tendered bis listeners. The thanks of members to the two persevering delegates were expressed by President Manse.

BEATS FOUNDRY The second softball game of the season, played at the public school grounds Thursday night, resulted in a 15-5 score when Front St. overwhelmed the Foundry "Iron- men" tbrough superior batting power. Front St. scored 3 in the first frame, 3 in the third, 8 in the fourtb, when the batting or- der came up for the second time, witlr Brough, the lead-off man, scoring twice in the one framne. Their final score came in the last innings, but the game was placed on ice in that one devastating spasrn in the fourth. The Ironrnen sinxpîy couldn't get going and registered only one scratch bit and a walk until the fourtb frame when Norrn Horn bit a two-bagger and came home on Hately's single. They scored again in the fifth after Taylor re- placed Cowle and Lon Welsh whamed a borner with botb eyes shut. Two more crossed the plate in the sixth in a short-lived bat- tling rally. Semple pitcbed good bail to Gord Cowle, but power at bat was their weakness. Features of tbe garne were three spectacular plays by vet- eran Clarence Osborne, wbo bolds downs 3rd base for Front St. He took a line drive bot off tbe bat to retire the side; made a shoe- string dive tbrough the rail-birds to retrieve a high foui and wbam- ed out a borner in the fourth. Finally he coaxed a walk witb the bases loaded and forced in a run. Ernie Dickens (Maple Leaf hockey champion) showed pow- er in several drives out of bounds into foul territory wide of left field. He was also caught flat- footed off 3rd in the final frame. Frank Blunt replaced Brougb in the fifth. Young Don Allen pitcb- ed ail the way to C. McIlveen. Umps were Harrington back of th~e plate and Cayle an the bases. SALEM BEATS MIDLANDS 31-9 Salemn swamped several serious sallies of the soldiers in the soft- bail set-to on a sloppy f ield at thg public scbool Tuesday even- ing. It was the first appearance of the 2nd Midlands' team and tbey went down 31 ta 9 before the hefty farmer sluggers from Sa- lem. Ramn accounted for several errors when outfielders scooted around in mud cbasing bigh flies. Salem failed to score in only two frames, 2nd and 6th, wben tbey were retired one, two, three. Three times tbey doub]ed the lineup, several coming up twice in the one frame, notably wben the New York pitcher, 2nd Lieut. Breslin, coach and utility man, essayed to pitch with the bases loaded. Salemites whamed him for a total of 9 runs, with 2 hom- ers in a single frarne. Cowan pitcbed for Salem until relieved by 'Ace' Richards, and Brereton caugbt tbem ail the way in his usual snappy fashion. Ken, Werry bomered twice and Rundie once. Oke, Breslin and Polley pitched for the soldiers wxth Clarke catcbing. A rally in the 2nd put the soldiers ahead 7 ta 1, but Salem overwhelrned thern in the 3rd frame. Lineups will not be given until the tearns settie into their stride. Sid Little called them behind the plate and got away with ir in satisfactory style. Manager Bres- lin publicly after the garne ap- pealed to the bleacherites and the press, "we sbould 'like to get a full time pitcher for our tearn, under 19 or over 35, or in cate- gary "C". We sbowed what we could do in the 2nd frame and, given a steady battery, there is little doubt of us winning the league."
