Well Attended at Whitby By Cora Nill The 10th annual School foi Leaders of the W.M.S. of the United Church of Canada, under the auspices of the Bay of Quinte Conference Branch was held August 30 to September 3rd, at the Ontario Ladies' College, Whit- by, with a registration of approx- imately one bundred and forty delegates. An auspicious beginning was made when at dinner Dr. C. R Carscallen, Principalif the Col- lege, reviewed the history of the College, named Trafalgar Castle, built in 1854 by Sheriff Reynolds, the sale of the Castle in 1874, opening in that year as a private boarding school, with Lord and Lady Dufferin performing the ceremony. The bigb educational standing maintained b y t he Sc0ool was stressed by Dr. Cars- callen, wbo said the scbool justi- fies existènce, providing Christin surroundings for its students where they just natural- ly absorb a Christian attitude. Mrs. W. L. Smythe, Dean af the school, presided at dinner, welcomed the delegates and in- troduced the guests including Miss Dorothy Pearson -0f India, Miss Ida MacKenzie travelling secretary, Mrs. Haggarty, presi- dent f the Branch, and also the school's staff. Each morning session opened with worship and Bible study conducted by the Dean, Mrs. W. L. Smythe-the subject of the study was "The Christ We For- get." and as these studies contin- ued from day to day there was born anew in the hearts of her audience the great truth that not onhy is it the duty of every Chistian woman to teach Christ, but that she must really know Him in her own heart before she can portray Him to others. "Mis- sianary Education in your Cburcb," a feature of the study was conducted by Mrs. C. R. Carscallen for the Auxiliary.dele- gates; Miss C. Wagar for Mission Circles; Miss Day for C.G.I.T. and Miss Ida MacKenzie for Mission Bands. The study for 43-44 "For Al ai Life," was led by Miss Day. The study was simplified by Miss Day, as she divided her class into groups, each group present- 'ing a chapter at the morning ses- sions. The highlight of the sessions wasetherlecture each afternoon when from five ta six o'clock Rev. Kenneth J. Beaton. B.A., D.D., from the subiect "Missions in a Warring World," presented the motive. measure and mean- ing of missions. The motives: An experience of God in Jesus Christ demands an expression that will not be denied. The measure: Its aim, that we msy p"esent every man perfect in Jesus Christ. Wednesday niht was Mission- ary night. with Miss Dorothy Pearson of India, as the sneaker. Miss Pearson spoke from the angle on what she exoects on go- ing back to India. The future of Inia, she sid, at oresent looks extremely black. Many have one hope and that is Wavei, the new Viceroy, appointed, it is said. be- ca se of army troubles. What In ia needs today is a little good- will, India with its many divisions of religions, of races, of castes, of politics. India with its illiteracy is a great and serious problem. The problem of teaching the illi- terate without money. and, if and when taught to read, the prob- lem of directing the reading, so necessary, if they are not to read first all the propaganda before them, are but two of the many problems. One thing in favor of India to- dey is the fact that the Allies are winning. Miss Pearson paid tribute to Indian Womanhood, women and girls who accomplish so much in spite of native customs and many othen handicaps. Although advised against re- turning to India, Miss Pearson de- clared she was gding back, when questioned as to what she could Marvellous Story Of Upper Canada Bible Society To Be Told Next Sunday, Sept. 19, Rev. Principal Vesey, headeof Toronto Biblé College, will represent the Bible Society in Bowmanville. He will preach in St. John's Church at 1l o'clock. In the eve- ning he will speak in Trinity United Church at the close of the evening service and conduct the local annual meeting. Mr. Vesey is an outstanding speaker and is worthy of great congregations at both services. At the General Synod of the Church of England of Canada, in session in Toronto, Rev. J. B. Armour, Generai Secretary of the Bible Society in Canada, is quot- ed as saying that since hostilities started 575,000 copies of The New Testament had been sent to Can- adian men on active service by the society and 20,000 in many languages ta prisoners of war. "The demand is sa great in China that lately a Bible in Chinese sold for $100.00," he said. "After the war we will send 25,000,000 copies each year to make up for those lost during the war." r The local organization is asking the churches to contribute funds to purchase 900 copies of the Scripture for the thousands of our young manhood who are en- listing for valiant service for King and Country. Six copies of The New Testament may be purchas- ed for one dollar, and placed in the hands of our boys. The ob- jective should be over-subscribed if all will give a small amount to a representative of the society, who will call upon you shortly. accomplish, she said, she could love the people, she could smooth a fevered brow, she could reach the illiterate, always, there would bedministering for willing hands tand beants. Miss Pearson was followed by Mrs. R. M. Seymour who made a plea for Missionary Candidates. Miss Ida MacKeneie, assisted by sMrs. A. McCann and Mrs. H. D. Gilmoun, gave leadership in the Mission Band department. The two periods each day were given ta the discussion of techniques of Missionary Education with boys and girls, and to the task of be- coming tboroughly familiar witb the new study course "Far around the World." The C.G.I.T. group of more than 20 members, under direction oa Miss Helen Day workedirnthe study project for the cming year "Into ail the Villages."' This in- cluded dramatization quizzes and research on the village life of Asia and Africa, and the great contribution of Missionaries to the life of these communities. The Mission Circle groups met under the leadership of Miss Con- stance Wagar, Conference Branch Secretary for Circles. Their theme throughout was "The Mis- sion Circle in the World Today." Methods of study combined with 'he objective of the circle were ,utlined. A review of the study book "What is your Share?" de- veloped into discussions of vari- ous projects and ventures applic- able to local groups. A timely topic was "What is the truth about the Canadian Japanese?" The handicraft department now in its second year justifies its in- troduction on the school's cur- riculum, in that it has brought to the surface in some instances, and in others developed talents by which skillful fingers fashion original designs along many lines in handicraft. The gifted leader is Miss Margaret Seymour. Each afternoon the Branch ex- ecutive meets to discuss, and dis- pose of the business of the Branch. One item emerging from these sittings was the report of the Branch Treasurer, Mrs. E. J. Corkill, during the first two quarters the receipts were $29,- 528.00. Organized recreation under the direction of Mrs. R. M. Seymour, from 3.30 to 4.30 each afternoon bad its own particllar part ta play in a well balanced curricu- lum. The musical contributions of the staff soloist, Mrs. John Craw- ford, soloist of Queen St. United Church, Kingston, and staff or- ganist Mrs. Dudley, organist of St. Paul's Church, Bowmanville, featured largely in the success of the school. The series of lectures on "Mis- sions in a Warring World," by Dr. Kenneth Beaton concluded on Thursday afternoon. The mean- ing of missions in a warring world, the necessity for a reiter- ation of the New Testament con- ception of the eternal value ai every human lufe, the great eter- nal purposes in the beant ai God transcending any value of any human life, that victory in this war is ultimate but that peace can never be won until Christian love is supreme and universal and Jesus has been progressively re- incarnated in the lives of men and women were points develop- ed by Dr. Beaton in a convincing lecture as he reiterated that only in the missionary enterprise of the Christian Church lies hope for ultimate peace. The receipts from the Mission- ary department under the direc- tion of Mrs. Soper, literature sec- retary, amounted to $327.50. Thursday night was dramati- zation night when various groups, used this method to conclude their study. The scbool closed Friday noon, having had a registration of 156. Mr. and Mrs. H. H. Richards and Mr. Reg. Harding are holi- daying at Norland. A. E. Rundle Results released by the North American Life Assurance Com- pany for the sales year just ended, indicate that Albert E.

Albert Rundle, Ebenezer. What The Council Did This is a brief surmary of the more important business trans- acted by Town Council during the summer mantbs: Council was advised County rate for 1943 is $16,205.17. Clerk was instructed to notify the Town Solicitor that it was not the intention of Council to seek his resignation as reported in The Statesman and request him to carry on. Chief of Police was instructed to enfonce the Hedge By-Law ta keep hedges trimmed ta 3 feet. Operators o music machines on King Street must not operate after midnight. Because of the continued over- crowded condition of Bowman- ville Hospital, the Town Council endorses the Hospital Board's plans for the addition as prepared and recommanded that the cam- paign to raise funds for the build- ing of the addition be continued. At Sept. 7th meeting of Coun- cil Councillor Glen L. Martyn tendered his resignation as a member of Council upon joining the Air Force. Laid on table. Salvation Army was granted permission to hold a Tag Day in aid of Red Shield Home Front appeal on Saturday, Oct. 2nd. Council requests Local Ration Board to pay $15.00 for office rent and services, dating from Sept. 1, 1943. Weed Inspector was notified that'weeds on all vacant lots must be cut. Reeve C. G. Morris was appoint- ed Chairman of Finance Commit- tee for balance of year due to Coun. G. L. Martyn's absence. Mayor was authorized to issue warrant for nomination meeting on Monday, Sept. 20, to fill va- cancy caused by death of Council- hor W. J. Martyn. Clerk was instructed to insert notice in The Statesman request- ing relatives and friends of any one in armed forces from Bow- manville, to notify Clerk if they become casualties. Now Prisoner Of War Was Listed Missing In our issue of August 26th we reported Sergt. Wireless Air Gunner Jack Rice, son of Mrs. Chas. F. Rice, "missing Aug. 18th in a raid over enemy territory." Yesterday Mrs. Rice was heart- ened to receive a cable, released by German authorities, "that her her son, Sergt. Gnr. Jack Rice is a prisoner of war." IDrew Cabinet Extends Grain Subsidy To The Ontario Farmers The Drew Cabinet has approv- ed an extension of one month for the paying of grain subsidies be- cause of delay in the filling of deliveries of grain ordered by On- tario farmers from the West.* In making this announcement at Queen's Park, Agriculture Min- ister T. L. Kennedy said Ontario had just harvested one of the poorest spring grain crops in years, and estimated it to be about 40 per cent of normal. In terms of bushels, the 1943 yield is 41,- 094,000 bushels behind the 1942 crop. The $1,80 subsidy, which nor- mally would have terminated at the end of August, has now been extended to Sept. 30. The $1.20 rate will apply during October instead of terminating Sept. 30. Ninety cents a ton will be paid during November and the 60-cent rate will maintain during Decem- ber. "Our grain crops are exceeding- ly poor, said Col. Kennedy. "Or- ders for Western feed grain have been pouring in so rapidly that deliveriesoarernow falling weeks bebind ordens. Onders placed early in August cannot be deliver- ed now until sometime in Sep- tember, and to avoid penalizing farmers who placed their orders expecting to get the $1.80 Ontario subsidy, the rates offened for August have been extended. The subsidy rate is based on the date of delivery of Western grain to the farmers. "Every possible encouragement of the mavement of feed supplies from the West to Ontario during the remaining summer and fall months must be given if we are to avoid a feed grain shortage next winter," said the Agriculture Minister. In Old Ontario three counties wil have a surplus of grain suit- able for seed, nine counties will bave sufficient for their own needs, and 29 wi have to buy a portion of their grain. -Christmas Mail Deadline Nears Closing d a t e s for sending Christmas parcels to servicemen overseas will be about October 1, according to post office officials here, who say that the increased numbers of Canadians from the district who will be overseas this year in comparison to last will slow up delivery somewhat. Officials at the post office say it is not. too early already to mail parcels overseas in order to in- sure delivery by Christmas time, because many of the addressees will have been posted to their stations- by the time the parcel arrives overseas, and the pàckage will then have to be forwarded. October 15th would be an abso- lute deadline for mailing, it was said, and then there was a big chance that packages would not arrive by December 25th. Par- cels may-be marked "Christmas Package,' but post office people say all mail is being expidited anyway, so the label doesn't real- ly bring faster service. LAC C. A. McDonald, Mountain View, and Mrs. McDonald, New- castle, spent the week-end with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. B. Mc- Donald. Pte. Bill Tomlinson On Sept. 5th, celebrated his birthday and his fourth year with the armed forces. He is a son of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Tomlinson, King St., Bowmanville.

His wife, formerly Doris Wannan, Orono, and son Billy, Jr., reside at 18 Whiting Ave., Oshawa. Cheerful letters from Bill tell of agreeable surroundings and the best of health. He says the high spot so far was the presenting of the colours by the King and Queen to the Royal Regiment of Canada of which Bill is now a member.

Jones was authorized to issue a.warrant for a nomination meeting on Mon- day, Sept. 20, to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Coun- cillor W. J. (Casey) Martyn. Should there be more than one qualify for the seat an election will be held Sept. 27th. In recent years very little in- terest has been taken by citizens in general in municipal affairs other than by the members of Union No. 189 who ran a "slate" last year and elected three mem- bers. Present activities shown by this same body would indicate they are planning to nominate a candidate on Monday night to fill the vacancy. To date we have not heard of any other citizen of- fering his services on the Town Council board. Councillor Glen L. Martyn has tendered his resignation owing to enlistment in the Air Force. The Council, for the time being, has laid his resignation on the table. Lest the electors have forgotten who comprises the Town Council at present we list them: Mayor- R. O. Jones; Reeve-C. G.

Ott, proprietor of Cold Spring Beverages, who lives on Wellington St., found his car missing from outside his home, Tuesday morning when he was going to work. Later the car was found on the first side road east of the cemetery with the four tires stripped from the wheels. Otherwise the car was in good condition but what use is an auto these days, or any day, if the tires are missing? No trace has been found of the tires or the thieves. This is the second time a rob- bery of this kind has taken place. During the summer Major A. R. Virgin met with a similar ex- perience.

Davies, Convenor for the evening, presented this program: Little Miss Janet McGregor did great credit bath ta hersel and tohercteacher with two piano solos entitled "Starlight Waitz" ad "Sping Sng." Miss Mary Fagan deligted us witb a medley on the guitar. Miss Fagan is go- ing taprove an accomplished yaung lady in tbings musical. Master RaynDudley, in bis usual sure style, held us entranced with Rachmaninoff's Prelude in C Sharp Minor and a veny lavely e n c ore, "The Pines." The wizardry of his fingers an the keys always holds the eye. The veny sprightly Second Minuet" was the vocal solo chosen by Miss Donnalda Creasser. For bier second selectian we wene fav- ored with the beautiful "Thanks Be to God." We certainly do not lack musical talent in Bowman- ville. The guest speaker was Miss Joblin, a new addition to aur Public School staff. Miss Jbooin spent some time teacing in the Indian Reserve of Caughnawaga and presented some very interest- ing sidelights on the present day manners and customs of aur nativerCanadians as well as on some of their ancient customs. Principal A. M. Thompson, in moving a vote of thanks to Miss Joblin, also weicomed the mem- bers of the Home and School As- sociation andoespecially the par- ents of new pupils and told them that he would be very glad to dis- cuss any difficulties wich con- frontedus in regard ta aurhchiid- ren's school life. To which the Home & School Association would like to add an invitation to come and join us and h.elp make the ensuing year one of our best. We feel sure that a better under- standing will be brought about by the co-operation of Home and Scbaol. Mrs. C. Robinson, War Work Convenor, appealed for assistance in carrying on this phase of our work. One can't do this upaided and you have only to contact Mrs. Robinson and she will wel- come any assistance you can give eitben in clothing or money. Miss Tfge and Miss Joblin tied fan the Mather's attendance pnize for the evening. Remember, mothers, your child is very eager to obtain this prize at least once in the year for their room and your attendance at the meetings is a necessary qualification. We were very pleased to see so many new mothers at the meeting, and would welcome many more. Lunch was served and the usual social half hour was much en- joyed. St. Paul's Wonen's Association met Tuesday with Mrs. N. Pingle, President, in the chair. The de- votional was in charve of grou i 4 and was followed by a much appreciated vocal by Mrs. Hull, < accompanied by Mrs. Dudley, and a Piano numberDRachmaninoff's Preljîde, by Ray Dudley. Rev. F., H. Joblin gave a talk on "Some o the Problems of our Church," which was very thought provok- ing. A vote of thanks to Mr. ] Joblin was proposed by Mrs. Davies. 1 LEADING SALESMEN ISergt. Gunner J. Rice 1 MANY HAPPY RETURNS 1 Municipal Election 4 PROMOTED OVERSEAS 1 Another Robbery At Orono Creamery And C. P. R. Tool Shop Orono Creamery seems to be a favorite place for robbers to carry on their nefarious trade. Less than a month ago this creamery was broken into and a considerable amount of money, bonds and other valuable papers carried off. Three Toronto youths are in cus- tody being tried for the crime. Tuesday morning it was found the Orono Creamery was again the scene of a robbery when up- wards of $6,000 in money, cheques and bonds were taken. The rab- bers were not satisfied in just tak- ing the money this time, but took the safe as well. Chief of Police S. Venton, who has been working on the case was partially successful in his search Wednesday afternoon when he found the safe on the roadside on the 4th Concession of Clarke, about a mile east of the New- castie-Orono Highway. The door of the safe has been broken open with crowbars and sledge ham- mers. The robbers had evidently orted over the contents of the afe as checks' and documents were scattered around the safe ut no money was left. The same gang of marauders who robbed the creamery had, the ame night, visited the tool shop t the Bowmanville C.P.R. sta- ion as considerable booty in .eavy tools and implements were tolen from this place which Chief Venton found near the safe. Great redit is due Chief Venton for the plendid work done on this and ther robberies. No arrests have been made at ime of going ta press. C. W. McBride Again War Loan Organizer For Durham County C.
