This Business of Startingon Time This isn't to be cohstrued as heaving a brick at theTown Coun- cil and passing a bouquet to the local Navy League Committee we are simply stating facts. Monday night we walked into the Council Chambers about eight 'clock. About ten minutes later, the lone spectator arrived, who, by the way, appeared before coun- cil to make a request-otherwise he would not have been there. At 20 minutes to nine council filed into the room and the April ses- sion gotrunderwayt40 minutes late. The session concluded at 9.30, rather hurriedly at the end as one of the members hiad men- tioned having an engagement and wanting ta get away. Tuesday night we attended the Navy League meeting scheduled for 7.30 in the local Agricultural office. No, it didn't start ei the dot-it was close to being two minutes late. No one was allowed to ramble off the subject, little time was wasted in lengthy dis- cussions, and the meeting broke up before nine o'clock. It meant that those in attendance were out at a good time and able to take care of other engagements that evening, if any. (We might say here that the council meeting Monday night was carried through with very little time wasted in lengthy discussions.) This business of starting meet- ings on time is important. It is more important today than ever because time is so percious. There are many people in town who are faced with the task of attending two and sometimes three meetings in one evening. This starting meetings late and dragging them out half the night is responsible for the fact that so many people decline to act on committees and also absent themselves from meet- ings. Time and again we have heard this statement, "Oh, we don't expect to start before eight o'clock. We are just calling the meeting for 7.30 so that everyone will be there by eight." We admit it will take a lot of educating to get some committeei members and club members to meetings on time. We think if every organization will try start- ing on the dot, regardless of howi few are present, that soon all the members will realize that "meet- ing called for eight o'clock" means just that. It will save a lot of time spent waiting around for others to arrive and will assure most organizations of better at-i tendance.i WIN What The Council Did The April session commenced at 8:40 Monday evening with all members present and Mayor R. O. Jones presiding. Rev. Carman Lynn, pastor of the Evangelical Church, addressed council and asked for a lease on a lot owned by the town on Wash- ington Terrace with an option of buying in a year's time. The church plans to erect a building for purposes of worship on the lot, if obtained. The matter was left in the hands of Councillor Glanville and the property com- mittee. A communication from T. B. McQuesten, Minister of Municipal Affairs, informed council of the 1 mill grant by reason of the pro- vincial subsidy and stated each tax bill must be stamped "the rate bas been reduced by 1 mill". A request from T. A. Garton to purchase the old 4 h.p. grader for making a wing for snow plough and offering to pay $12 for it was referred to the Roads and Streets committee with power to act. Permission was granted to the local Red Cross to use the shed for two days this month to store salvage collected in the proposed drive. Permission was granted to the local Navy League to hold a tag day on June 12th and ta the Chinese War Relief Fund Com- mittee to hold onie on May 22, on m o t i o n by Councillor Glen Martyn. Another communication from T. B. MQuesten, Minister of Muni- cipal Affairs, was read requesting council to appoint committee to discuss the problem of post war empioyment. Reeve Morris sug- gested it bereferred to Civic Committee "and sometime during the summer we will get together and spend an hour or two on it. In the meantime members of the council should think about it." Third Holstein War Effort Caif Auction Will Be Held In May In 1941 and again in 1942 Can- adian Holstein breeders, individ- ually and through their County Clubs,donated calves taWar Ef- fort Caif Auctions that resuited in $13,445 being sentu toBritain where it was largely used to assist in the relief of distress among merchant sailors whose ships had been sunk. A contribution was also made ta the Royal Air Farce Benevolent Fund for Pilots and Crews. This year a similar auction is being planned to be held in two sectionscone at Brampton on May 26, in conjunction with the Na- tional Holstein Sale and the other at Kempville on May 27, as an opening featule of the All Eastern Ontario Sale. The former will be sponsored by the breeders of Western and Central Ontario and the latter by the breeders of East- ern Ontario and Quebec. A total of fifty heifer calves will be sold in all. Officials of the Peterboro & Durham Holstein Breeders' Clubs have decided to donate one calf from the two clubs. Breeders who have heifer calves available for this purpose are asked to com- municate with the Secretary, Han- aid Muir, Courtice. Offers of calves must be in his hands by April 10 at the latest and should be for heifers at least three months old. A committee of district breeders will select the most suit- able animals from amongst those available. Application blanks and full information may also be se- cured from the Agricultural Rep- resentative, E. A. Summer's, office, Bowmanville. Rotarians Hold Forum On Current Events W. R. Strike In Charge Bowmanville Rotarians had a very interesting meeting Friday noon. Program arrangements fell1 through during the week and at the last moment Rotarian W. R. Strike was called upon to fill the breach. He prepared several questions on world events and passed them out to the Rotarians. Before calling on the Rotarians to attempt to answer the questions, Mr. Strike explained that Rotary International was encouraging the clubs to try to have forums on different problems and use their own members in programs in pre- ference to bringing in outside speakers. Mr. Strike then con- ducted the quiz which met with an amazing success. The mem- bers not only answered their own questions but offered suggestions1 to fellow members on how they should have answered theirs. The meeting worked into a regular forum with a large number taking part which was exactly what Mr.1 Strike started out to do. Rotarian Bob Cochran, manager of the Stedman Store, was elected secretary. Other officers will bet announced later.1 COSSA Help for Farme Object of Local A mavement ariginally putj motion by the Rotary Club bi now taken over by a central cor mittee comprising the Goodye Company and United Rubb Workers Local 189, Bowmanvil Foundry and United Steel Wor ers of America Local 2375, Lior and Rotary Clubs, has been s up to make complete arrang ments for helping the farmersi this district during the harve season. Representatives from the Pr vincial Department of Agricultui visited the High School and spol to both the boys and girls abo farm work, it being the intentio to place most of the boys local: but the girls are asked to volur teer for western Ontario far: camps as they did last year. The committee also proposes1 set up a central office with E. Summers where a list of the avai able men for each day of the wee will be maintained and farmei needing harvest help can secui it by phoning his office. Both unions will take steps t secure men to register for th work in their off-hours as wi men in the other business estai lishments and on the front stree It was decided to set an hour rate of 35 cents for periods of fo hours or under to include a me. should mealtime intervene. E> perienced men working long than four hours will make the own terms with the farmer. Itj hoped that some of the men ma be ready to also work if necessar during part of their holidays. These arrangements are bein made now so that an efficient o ganization can be set up later thE will be available should the cro in this district be heavy enoug for the farmers to require extr help. It was felt that last yea the organizing was left until to late and consequently was ni very effective. This year the con mittee wants to be ready to giv the farmer every possible assis ance so that the great need f food will be met. Forms hav been secured from the Ontar Farm Labour Department e:ý plainingLtheusituation and cor taining registration particulaj and these will be distributed b members of the committee to pr< spective helpers.

Durham Club Hears Closing Talk By Former Newcastle Teacher (By Herbert Fair) It was Educational Night at the Durham County Club of Toronto when an audience of 125 former residents and their friends met at the I.O.D.E. headquarters, March 25, for the clasing meeting of this season. O. J. Henderson introduced the speaker, C. F. Cannon, assistant chief inspector of the Department of Education, saying that he was not a member of Durham County, but did the next best thing by marrying a daughter of the com- munity, Miss Gibson, while teach- ing at Newcastle, and traced his career from Queen's University through Newcastle and Oshawa to Taronto. Mr. Cannon, in opening his re- marks, expressed pleasure at see- ing his predecessor at Newcastle, John Bradley, in the audience, and meeting the treasurer, Fred Truli, reminded him of that bis- toric name that with the Burkes, Smiths, Conants, and others, had been connected with the pioneer days of the district. He told of the first advancement and inaugu- ration of public schools after the War of 1812, when all in the com- munity contributed to these seats of learning where it was thought a knowledge of reading, the cal- culation of interest, and ability to sign the individual's name was everything required. The circuit riders of the day did much toward the gradual im- provement of conditions and by 1850 another advance was made, when school sections were formed, and maintenance improved. In 1871 free, compulsory educa- tion was commenced. At this time from 100 to 112 days' school at- tendance was in practice. Mr. Canon cited Inspector J. J. Tilley as reporting that "the buildings were satisfactory but the grounds were sparse, with few trees or wells on the school property." There were 43 school libraries, 127 public school teachers and eight secondary sçhool teachers in the county in 1872, while 70 years later there -were 138 public and 34 secondary teachers for approxim- ately the same number of pupils. The speaker touched on the con- trast in education today and 70 years ago, mentioning that of yes- teryear was logical, as instanced by the cramming process used in the 1871 curriculum of 24 or 25 subjects that were poured into the youthful overflowing brain of that day, as compared with the psycho- logical method of the present, for the object of education should be to improve the behavior of the student and fit him to live in a democratic society, teaching him to live with, and respect the opin- ions of others by basing his way of living upon the Christian ideal. In closing, Mr. Cannon referred to the great movement now going on in Ontario by the adoption of the township area school plan, and said 863 school boards have already chosen this method of im- proved control. Dr. O. Worden thanked the speaker for his instructive and Us- teresting address. Jack Lyle, accompanied by Miss Dolly Moncrieff, sang and recited several humorous and timely se- lections such as "I am Thumbin' My Way Back Home," "I'd Like ta Be a Baby Again," and in bonor (Continued on page 6) Rev. H. W,. Foley Gives Paper at Ministerial The April meeting of the Min- isterial Association was held at the home of Rev. F. Joblin, Bow- manville, April 5. There was a good attendance of ministers from Bowmanville and the surrounding districts. Rev. W. P. Rogers pre- sided. A report from the Lord's Day Alliance was presented. It dealt with the question of Sunday enter- tainment for members of the armed forces, and quoted the gov- ernment's decisionto not proceed for the present with the Sunday opening of theatres. A thought-provoking paper was given by ev. H. W. Foley on the subject o World Reconstruc- tion". Future world reconstruc- tion would rest on a foundation of world organization and world out- look. The world organization sug- gested would involve some form of a world state with a world police force to maintain its authority. The world outlook would come vith the extension of our patri- otic sense to include the whole company of nations so organized. The speaker referred to the United Nations as forming the nucleus of what was to come. The discussion which followed the paper centred attention on the weighty moral and spiritual1 problems involved in world re- construction. It was the conviction of the meeting that progress in world reconstruction must wait1 on progress in the solution of thesei problems. In the meantime the Church carried a great responsi- bility which could only be dis- charged by proclaiming the truth by which men and nations live. High protein feeds for preparing dairy rations have become very scarce and may be a serious prob- hem in 1944 unless farmers plan to grow at least a portion of their requirements. Home grawn grains such as aats and barley only carry about 10 per cent protein where- as a properly balanced dairy ra- tion runs from 16 ta, 18 per cent. There are only two home grown crops that carry rather high pro- tein content, .e. common peas about 19 or 20 per cent and soy beans about 33 to35cper cent pro- tein. Oil-cake meal, which can- not be purchased at present, is about the same in protein and palatability as saybeans. E. A. Summers, Agricultural Representative, is of the opinion that as many farmers as possible should fortify their supply of pro- teins by growing two or three acres of soybeans. It requires about three-quarters of a bushel (45 lbs.) per acre sown in rows twenty-eight inches apart. The Mandarin variety is the most sat- isfactory for maturity and yield. A good crop will yield 25 to 30 bushels per acre. Twenty-five bushels0 of soybeanshground with 4,500 pounds of home grown grains wouid produce three tons of 15 or 16 per cent. dairy ration. When growing soybeans fornthe first time on a field, it is advisable to innoculate the seed with cul- ture. The culture and any fur- ther information may be obtained from your agricultural represen- tative.

It doesn't matter how big or ow small it is, it'ssomething extra special. No matter what friends you make throughout life, there is a special flavour about the ones you made during your school- days," William H. Brault told The Statesman this week. A native of Newcastle, he is over from the States on a holiday and is visiting scenes of his boy- hood. His wife died three weeks ago and he is taking this trip for a change before returning to his work. Some of his relatives are still living in the district. At Newcastle he has an aunt, Miss Annie Kene- fick, and ini Bowmanviile a sister, Mrs. Geo. Hearl. Mr. Brault attend- ed Newcastle Continuation School at the time Hugh Davidson was principal and one of his teachers was J. W. Bradley, be toid The Statesman. He is living in Fulton, N.Y., at present. Mr. Brault distinguished him- self by winning a slogan compe- tition in which there were nearly 2,000 entries from all over the United States. In this connection, the Syracuse, N.Y., paper com- ments: "William H. Brault, for many years a leader in the first district of the First Ward, has re- cently returned to Fulton from Massena, N.Y., where for the past two years he bas been engaged in war work at the Aluminum Comp- any of America plant. "While he was connected with the Massena Plant he distin- guished himself by formulating the slogan 'Let's Keep the Eagle Fightin', which was formally adopted as the all-out war slogan of the company.
