-1 R C(AM.AflTAN STATESMIAN. ROWMANVELLE. ONTARIO Council Tackles l-ousing Problem Deserves Fullest Co-operation Following the recent decision of Bow- manville Town Council to entertain pur- chase from War Assets Corporation of the- 12 surpl.us buildings at the former Intern- ment Camp to be used as housing wilhin the town limits, the Mayor and councillors moved wisely in calling a gencral meeting to explore the wholc proposition. The con- sensus was not unfavorable for at least 30, including many rcturned men, indic.ated their wish to use the materiais for their housing necds. A report of the meeting ap- pears in this issue. *We believe the vie w is that council 110w has a mandate to effeet purchase. Terms are 8 per cent of original cost, an outlay of $7,000 for $88,000 of con- struction. The whoie proposition is onîe that re- quires very înuch more thought ini working ont details. In fact the real headache is only beginning. Most exact contracts înust be drawn with any contractor winning flnai bids on removai, excavation, reass cmbly and completion of flûiished units. There are so many factors requiring meticulous legal safeguards. If proceeded with, there must bc constant supervision and probably a spe- cial couneil committee set up, advised by a competent authority, until the job is coni- pleted. There must be a resolution and a driving force right from the beginning- of a character seldom before placed 0on the shoul- ders of a municipal council. Any hil must be avoided at ail costs. Much of ah tuhs of course is presently appreciated by ail who have giveil thouglit to the matter. But what is desircd above al cisc is fullcst co-operation of citizens generally. Once startcd there will be no room for "calamity viewers." Fortunately, and this is known by council, if any dcvelop- ment miglit tend to defeat the schcme, the buildings and materials so purciased can be disposed of to other interested purchas- ers without financial loss. But the main idea is to provide housing in the absence of any federal or provincial 'aid. The council is to be commcndcd for what it is attempting to do and the general hope is thât the seheme wiii ineet îith coniplete sncccss. Returned Men Setting Pace In Business and Employment We have heard soîne speakers express the thought that returncd mcen iigit tiot be ready to settie dowîu into business and cm- ployncnt after years of regimented life under hig-h pressure and intense aetivitv 0on the fighting fronts,. It was aiso intiiated in some quarters that eînployers were appre- hiensive that inirest after taking up old jobs miglit have the effeet of slowing np pro- duction. But the plaini facts are, as they have coîne to our notice, that these boys almost without exception have taken hold as Ihougli thcy lhad been away but a few wccks on holiday.

Fcw Canadians have a real appreciation of how greatiy Pulp and Paper affect the national economy. From reports of thc Canadian Pulp and Paper Association and the Newsprint Association of Canada, wc leain these facts that wilh be of interest to readers generahhy. Canadian ncwsprint capacity of over 4/ million tons a ycar is four limes gîcater than any other country. 0f the country 's manu- facturing industries, puip and paper stands flrst in empioyment, first in paymcnh of wages, first in expoît vaiues, firs1 in capital invested. Expoît ncwsprint shipments are 94 per cent of production. lu woild trade, pulp and paper are Canada 's main commod- ities, except gold; greater than wheat, fan greater than nickel. Newsprint alone, over a considerable period, lias brougit Canada more expont dollars than wheat, nickel or any other single cornmnodity save goid. In- c]uding ail operations tbis industry empioys 200,000, coutributes dincctiy ho support of a haîf millionî Cauîadians.

""Art ini Industry"ý Theme At Rotary Municipal Night what we have. If in the past we have stniven to seil, commercial- ly, the products we have devised, we can s0 much more make these products so desirous thal, domes- bîcally, we need no longer depend on competitive goods from abroad. And the speaker nef erred, speci- fically ta the U.S.A. Why the ad- ded cosîs o! ordinary needs when we can do the things ourselves with what we have? He touched a point of current interest and went on 10 picture what Canadian artisîs could do in lhe entire pic- bure; design goods wilhin Can- ada for oui own uses and lay the basis o! sale ýoubside Canada. Basic 'Principies Gel d-own tb basic principles, was the advice of this very ex- ceptional speaker; have oui con- ceptive arbisîs join with oui re- search specialisîs and in the end resuit, the whole thing would mean fuil employment on lhree shifts a day in Canadian factories. Given reasonable governmentai policies along these ines Ihere was ulmost expectation that wc should emerge lhe foremost na- tion in al the vast concepts em- anating from tic minds of crea- tive artisîs. The speaker went in- 10 considerable detail in teiling what the Ontario College o! Art has devised and dctailed in Ihis whole inspining piclure. Our Inheritance In conclusion he returned bo the centrai tieme that commercial artisîs must be creditcd with, in the main, the rich inheritance we now enjoy. All who heard him agreed that they knew so littie beforehand of what he toid that they joined, spontaneousiy in the thanks proposed by Ex-Warden Cecil Carvelh of Newcastle. Il was iearned finally that Fred S. Haines was entithed to these de- signalions: R.C.A. and O.S.A. which are earned degrees attain- cd over a life-time so whoily de- voted 10 the work that has en- gaged his inleresîs since he was a mere youth.

The sparkling program of fun, presentations and songs was iighligitcd with an unusually absorbing addness, "Art in In- dustry" delivered by guest-spcak- er Fred Haines, Principal o! tic Ontario College o! Art, Toronto. Mr. Haines, a speaker o! genial, even debonnaire presence, cndow- ed with a fine speaking voice that encompasscd the higi art o! ora- tory, told wilh pointcd empiasis some o! the main factors, not gcneraiiy comprchcnded, that art has contributed in !ashioning even the most commonplacc things that surround us today. His audience received a re!reshing insight ouq how art has made a pro!ound, al- mosl unconscious impnîmis on thc five senses of man.

Haines wio enlivcned his address witi apt stories, empia- CHURCHES sized at once that art was a fun- damental thing; with one excep- tion il was ahl-inclusive as touci- ing everything with which we are familiar. His tiesis was striking- ly iliustrated by lifting up a tea- cup, a product designed by an artist, fashioned by industry, a process so lijtie appreciated gen- eraily in ils fundamentai daiiy use. We see, handie, use so many things that so few take so litIle lime in considering the subjeet, "Art in Industry." Vista of Art This simple illustration opened a vista on which the speaker en- larged 10 direct attention bo the manner in wiich "artisîs" have so profoundly înfluenced oui iives. It was a spiendid story, splendidly bold. Mr. Haines dissipated at once the conception that artisîs were "iong-haired, unkempt indi- viduals" so portraycd in comic strips. The artist in industry was in reaiity a man of vision, a bus- iness man in fact, wiosc faculties were empioycd creativeiy tb de- vise a better way of living, more comforts, better standards, in short 'a streamlining o! a whoie range of things we use day by day as we progress in modern civiiiz- ation. The artist plans buildings, inleriors, bridges, the whole vast range of man-created things from sky-scrapers to the minutest fil- agreed producîs that invite com- petition in buyîng and possession. Returned Men Stressing the idea that beauty doesn't grow unless cuitivated, the speaker told of tic part played by the Coilege o! Art in encouraging and devý-'loping young Canadians in an appreciation of the vast field open ho thera in this vital phase o! modemn civiiization. Normaiiy there were 150 students taking the 4-year course. Influx of re- turned personnel aI the moment increased the present rosIer to near 400 students and next year tic Coilege iad ils budget fixed for admission o! possibiy 600. Whal can be conceived in ail this consuming interest was the ques- tion posed by the speaker. And he told tic story.
