THURSDAY, JUNE 7th, 1945 THE CANADIAN STATESMAN, BOWMANVILLE, ONTARIO PAGE FIVE Charles E. Stephenson Stephenson Bocks. Bracken Plan for Labor and Welf are To the Electors of Durbam County: Next Monday votera will go to the polis to choose a new Domin- ion government. Tbey will vote S for or against the policies of the national leaders of the day witb due regard for their past per- formances. It bas been my duty as the Progressive Conservative candidate for Durham County, to set forth the policies of that party wbich is led by a man witb an ad- ministrative record unequalied in the Empire, John Bracken, a practical farmer, who for more than 20 years was Premier of Manitoba. His National Policies .' derive from long experience and direct personal knowledge of ,Çanada from coast to coast. _'ýWitmn the limited time at my ~disposal, I bave sougbt first to deal witb issues more closeiy re- lated to the concern of the Dur- ham electorate, problems of the farm, rehabilitation of soldiers and the problema of labor. In former issues of this paper I have dealt witb the first two. Now I have time to deal only with labor, with a brief reference to other planks of the Bracken platform, before polling day, three days hence. Speaking at Windsor, Feb. 12, 1944, John Bracken set forth bis "Square Deal for Labor" on the basis of partnersbip and team- work. He said collective bar- gaining must become mandatory by Law with penalties for in- fractions. That employers must deal with employees tbrougb Unions chosen by employees. A National Labor Relations Board would be composed equaliy of employees and employers. Penal- ties would be *provided against employers seeking to undermine collective bargaining and inter- fering in any way with Trade Union activities. Labor would have full partnership. Collective bargaining rigbts would thus be guaranteed and a uniform c o de establisbed al across Canada. Labor-Manage- ment Committees and Industrial Councils wouid be developed. All disputes will be heard witbout de- lay witb decisions promptly reached. At the same time both elements must accept responsi- bilities witb the interests of ahl sections of the community given full consideration. Tbat is, no exercise of irresponsible power wiil be toicrated from financiers, corporation executives or labor leaders to the . detriment of the people as a wboie. This la clearcut talk. Labor will be given absolute rigbt in main- taining its intereats, acccpting at the same time its full responsi- bilities. The goyernment wili do TAMBLYN FUND CREATED IN HONOR 0F PROFESSOR Dr. W. F. Tambiyn, professor of Engiish at the University of West- ern Ontario, for the past 44 yeers was tendered a banquet by 150 graduates at London, May 24, and presented witb an illuminated address in testimony of the eteem in wbich be is beld by for- mer tudenta. A cluster of roses was the gift of the alumni for Mrs. Tamblyn. The occasion was marked by the establishment of The Tamb- lyn Fund to be used annualiy by the Department of Engiish in pur- cbasing books for the University Library and to be inscribed witb the likenesa and namepiate of Dr. Tamblyn. The formal address read lu part: "We are grateful for the breadtb and deptb of your scbolarship, for the quick, queat- ing quality of your intellect, for the nimbleneas and urbanity of your wit, for the humble fiattery of your praise. Here indeed is God's plenty, but we must yet thank you for the good life lived simply and couragcously in that its part by setting up macbinery giving Labor, Agriculture and Management, equal voices in formulating economic policy. The Bracken Charter also guarantees, holîdays with pay, and for wo- men, equal pay for equal work. Company financed unions will be outlawed. In short, by direct voice, guaranteed by Law, Labor wîll be enabled to achieve all its legitimnate aims. That is the democratic way. It is precisely wbat Labor has for many years demanded. These guarantees can be secured by voting for Bracken candidates on June Il. The chief concern of people of jcourse, centres ,about full employ- ment and a prosperous agricul- ture. Botb are interdependent. The Bracken policies for Agricul- ture, based on wider markets, domestic and foreign, I have ai- »ready discussed. A prosperous agriculture is basic to full em- 3ployment. Under the Bracken policies, both agriculture and labor are assured of the fairest kind of a "Square Deal". At the same time, with assurance of scientific taxation reform, affect- ing both business and individual incomes, the Bracken plan is de- signed logically to give Business a breathing space to revive and ex- pand under the system of free enterprise. There is neither time nor space adequately to discuss ail the de- tails of the Bracken policies that will accrue under an expanding national economy built upon the Lessentials of a prosperous agri- culture and full employment. Im- proved services in Education, Health, Housing, Youth, Forestry, Transportation, Development of Natural Resources, ahl involving a widened national scbeme of Social Security are set forth in the Bracken platform. The keynote of the Progressive Conservative Creed is *a revitaliz- ed Canada for the post-war years,. under Freedom, Security, Oppor- tunity and the British Partner- ship. These are the ideals that all wish to strive for, not only for ourselves but for all of our youth, who, on land, sea and in the air, have given us a new birth of free- dom. These aima and ideals are incorporated. in the policies set forth by John Bracken, national leader of the Progressive Conser- vative Party. Under these poli- cies I ask support of the voters of Durham County on Monday, June I1. I give my assurance that if elected, I shall press for their fuI- filment and represent Durham to the best of my ability. Yours faitbfully, b CHARLES E. STEPHENSON, Progressive Conservative Candidate. atmosphere wberc joy is its own security." In his reply in bebaîf of him- self and i4rs.

BOY SCOUTS FIELD DAY AND WEEK-END CAMP A GREAT SUCCESS (Contributed) Some 75 Boy Scouts under the leadership of Commissioner Stur- rock and Scout Masters Stutt, Lindsay, Pickard and Boe, held a succesaful week-end and camp at Orono, on May 26 to 28tb, with ideal weatber. I wouîd ike to compliment the Scouts on the efficient way in whicb tbey carried out aIl tbeir activities on Friday after Scbooî to sundown, they accomplisbed aimost the impossible. They gatbered their blanketa, tenta and cats and ail their odds and ends to their meeting place, in no time flat, and were ready for the truck ride to Orono. Before dark they raised their Union Flag over the camp site and built a stairway into the ravine and a foot bridge over a stream- and establiahed a good walk over muddy ground wbere they built their latrines. Other patrola busied themacives at putting up their tenta, ditcbing in case of wet weather, and get- ting their beda comfortable for the night. In ail my camping ex- perience I neyer aaw a group of boys get as much donc in so short a time. Saturday everytbing was in readinesa for the sports to be beld in front of the grandstand in the exhibition grounds in the after- noon. The winners in the con- testa were: Pillow Fight - lst, Sweet, lst Bowmanvile Troop; 2nd, Jim Levett, 2nd Bowmanville Troop; Message Relay - 2nd Bowman- ville Troop; Water Boiling Con- test - lst Bowmanviile Troop; Firat Aid - 2nd Bowmanvillc Troop; Knot Reiay - 2nd Bow- manville.Troop. The 2nd Bow- manville Troop massed the great- est number of pointa and won the Colvilie Tropby donated by Mrs. Aiex Colviile. The 100-yard relay was kcenly contested and won by 2nd Bow- manville Troop with Courtice Troop a close second. This aiso won for the 2nd Bowmanville Troop the Living Tropby, donat- cd by Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Living. For good camping, good cooka and gencral cleanlineas, the honora went to lat*Bowmanville Troop. Sunday morning the Scouts joined Orono United Cburch Sun- day School in a beautifully decor- ated cburch and listened to a well conducted service and a very in- structive message from Rev. S. Littlewood. Sunday afternoon the Scouts accompanied by the Guides from orono, and beaded by Orono Band, marcbed from camp to the grandstand in Exhibition Grounds wbere a large crowd greeted them and listened to a vcry im- pressive memorial service con- ducted by J. J. Meilor, assisted by Canon C. R. Spencer and Rev. J. E. Griffith. The names of the Boy Scouts who fell in battle were read and Last Post sounded and flaga dipped. Rev. Griffith pro- nounced the benediction which brougbt to a close a really suc- cesaful week-end camp. Good Scouting, boyal-The Skipper. This is subscription time ! GOODYEAR EMPLOYEE GIVES 19 DONATIONS AT OSHAWA CLINIC One of the most enthusiastic blood donors is E. W. Begley, a pressman at the Goodyear Tire and Rubber Co. plant in Bowman- ville, who after giving his l9th donation at the Oshawa Blood Clinic, was urgîng clinic officiaIs that lie feit fine and there was no reason why he should not con- tinue to give donations as hee bas done for the past three years. He pointed out that on no occasion had he given less than 460 c.c. while bis highest donation was 475 c.c. Mr. Begley gave his firat donation on June 15, 1942, at which time lie was employed with Pedlar People Ltd., and feeling that it was "the least bie could do," has continued to attend the clinic every eight weeks regard- less of the fact that he bas been employed in Bowmanville for the past year. Last week he was ac- companied by six fellow em- ployees from Bowmanville.

DOF.JMIION King & Silver, Bowmanviiio Phones: 467 - Res. 376 COMPLETE TIRE SERVICE Rev. Harold B. Neal Minister of Trinity-St. An- drew's Church, Renfrew, was elected president of the Bay of Quinte Conference of the United Church at the 2lst sessions of the conference held in Simcoe Street United Ohurch, Oshawa, 1 a s t week. Rev. Mr. Neal, who is also secretary of the Settiement Com- mittee, was elected on the first ballot, receiving 130 votes as against 81 cast for Rev. James E. Beckel of Elgin, the only other nominee. He succeeds Rev. Basil W. Thompson of Kingston, who is retiring after 50 years in the min- istry. It will be recalled that Rev. Mr. Neal acted as supply minister at the Methodist Church here, (now Trinity United), for Capt. Rev. W. G. Clarke, during World War I, who went overseas as Chaplain of the 235th Battalion. We join with his m a n y Bowmanville friends in extending sincere con- gratulations to Harold on this re- cent high honor conferred on hlm. BELL TELEPHONE EXPERT TELLS AMAZING STORY 0F COMMUNICATION The loud thump thump of a heartbeat amplified a hundred million times and the roar of Lmolecules 'iining Up" in a rod of 1permalloy, were heard by em- ployees of the Goodyear Tire and Rubber and the General Motors Companies, Friday evening, May 11, in a series of demonstrations performed by R. H. Spencer, To- ronto, public information repre- sentative of The Bell Telephone Company of Canada. Speaking on ithe production and reproduction of speech, Mr. Spencer also changed music into song, sent music along a beam of light and enabled his audience to hear the noise that muscles make when they contract, in order to illus- trate the complexity of the com- munications equipment required by the armed forces of the United Nations. Illustrating the properties of certain crystals which are used to control the frequencies of radio transmitters in tanks, he said that during a battle, hundreds of mes- sages may be radioed back and forth, yet none interferes with any other, because eacb la kept in its own channel by means of these crystals. Some tanks may have as many as 80 crystals in their radios. "One telephone manu- facturing company alone," Mr. Spencer revealed, "delivered eigbt million crystals to the arm- ed forces in 12 montbs at a cost one-twentietb that of the crystals produced before the war." Some of our battleships re- quire 2,200 telepbones-enough to serve a city of 10,000 people, the speaker stated, in discussing the quantîty and complexity of the signais equipment required by the armed forces of the United Na- tions. For an invading force of 250,000 men, 50,000 tons of com- munications equipment are re- quired for the initial landing, and an additional 1,000 tons to main- tain the landing force for 30 days. "~In fact," Mr. Spencer said, "war has put the telephone to a bundred new uses. It has been called upon to meet conditions of unheard-of urgency, and it bas measured up to aIl the demands made upon it." The speaker made a number of interesting demonstrations, illus- trating technical advances in war- time communications. He show- cd how speech and music can be transmitted aiong a beam. of ligbt, how the development of certain alloys by telephone engineers has made possible tiny telephone radio tz'ansmitters and receivers suitable for use with the new bucket-type heimet and in tanks and aircraft; and how an arti- ficial larynx enables a person wbo .has lost his vocal chords to speak clearly and quite rapidiy. One of the most interesting of the many demonstrations xvas the moulding of musical sounds reproduced from an organ recording into song. T. R. Traynor, manager of the Bell Telephone Co., Oshawa, and Frank Williams, Bowmanville manager, arranged the meeting under auspices of the Bell man- agement.

THEM AT' YOUR HYDRO SHOP This is subscription timne Let's G et Together., CANADIANS lI i 111t us, as Canadians, resokve to put aside sectionalism and class bted; let us renounce the politics of expedience and the fruitless gamte ofhatr n off one group agaimst anot ber; let us require of the Govern- ment that it harmonize ail the varlous elements of the community and fashion them noavgrucoprtv oitfoth etre fal. We believe that the one essential of all national progress is national unity. A United Canada is the firrn foundation on which ail the f ar- reaching Progressive Conservative plans for post-.war reconstruction are enduringly based. We are deter- rnined to achieve that unity. THE AGE 0F PLENTY IS AT OUR DOOR-if we will but unite and co-operate to rnake it a reality for every one of our fellow citizens. BUT. .. CANADA HAS BEEN SPLIT APART In tirne of war, Canadians "reaped, the whirlwind" brought about by the King Governrnent's rnanpower poli- cies-policies that for 25 years have been fostering division and disunity. Those policies now challenge every fair-rninded Canadian. That challenge -now that V-E Day has corne and gone-is the first to be faced if Can- adians are to assure the unity and prosperity of this nation. TO-DAY, THE QUESTION IS: Shall political expediency be per- petuated ? Shail the "biggest hoax ever per- petrated on a nation" be perrnitted, in tirne of peace, to embroil Canada in new inequities, new partisan squab- bles, new divisions and disunities? OR -do YOU agree with John Bracken who bluntly states that "to give political considerations priority over the nation's interest is intoler- able and unforgiveable'"? CANADA FACES THE ISSUE To-day, Canada's heritage of national disunity is too evident, too real, to be ignored. The grave crisis of war, which proverbially unîtes a nation, has been used as a political instrument to accentuate and infiame differences found in every hurnan farily .. . fostering disunity, in this our country, to serve party purposes. The political self-seeking of the King Governrnent's l"Divide and Rule" policy has exacted a toli in sacrifice and suffering to be shared by gen- erations to corne. UNITE-COOPERATE-PR0SPER Long ago, John Bracken expressed the great objective of the Progressive Conservatives. In his own words, we are setting out "1te regain the unity that has been lest". Unity-Co- operation-these are the foundations of our new, progressive conception of National Prosperity in which al Canadians shall share. WE STAND FOR- National Unity . . . NOT Piecerneal Politics seeking Political Advan- tage through National Disunity. Co-operation. . . NOT Class Hatred, Dictatorship and Bureaucratic Tyranny. WE BELIEVE- * Sectionalisrn must corne to an end, subi ect to the recognized rights of rninorities. " Everyone, regardless of racial ori- gin, mnust be regarded as a Can- adian, sharing equally the rights and obligations of Canadian cit- izenship.
