This road includes the bad stretches by the Glen Rae Dairy on King Street and the part on East King Street by Bowmanville Dairy. The matter of garbage collec- tion was thoroughly discussed by members of the council but it was decided to leave the final decision until the next meeting. The mat- ter of garbage collection was brought to a head by a letter from Dr. Miller of the county health unit. It was also brought out at the meeting that the Toronto Con- struction Company will build houses bn private lots using ma- terial from the internment camp where necessary. Anyone inter- ested in this should contact the officials of the company in regard to plans and costs. Mayor C. G. Morris is quite sa- tisfied with the way the town houses are progressing. At pre- sent their is a temporary shortage of nails but every means possible is beiag used by the municipal body to remedy this situation. It was noted that several com- plaints have been received from taxpayers regarding dust on a few streets. These streets will be sur- faced according to schedule be- fore the end of the month. If any other type of material was to be put down now it would spoil the surface for the oiling process. Many Attend MapleGroveà On Sunday afternoon and ev- ing, June 16th, although the iveather was somewhat warm 1 there were large congregations at the Sunday School Anniversary Services at Maple Grove when the Rev. Harry Mellow, B.A., pastor of Leaside United Church, Tor- onto, gave a very interesting and helpful address to both old and young on "Building the Church" with the aid of a flannelgraph in the afternoon, and delivered a most .inspiring and challenging sermon in the evening on "Bring- ing the Ark Home," which was very timely in its application. The music by the Sunday School un- der the splendid leadership of Mr. Leslie Collacutt with Marion Foley, pianist, and Stanley and Bert Snowden, violinists, was much appreciated by the large audiences. In the afternoon a male double quartette, consisting of Messrs. L. Collacutt, C. Greenham, Hi. Cryderman, R. Preston, Wm. Laird, Ross Metcalf, Ray Munday and Ross Allin sang. In the ev- ening a double ladies' quartette whose members were Mrs. K. Sumersford, Mrs. E. Twist, Misses Marion Foley, Pearl and Lenore Collacutt, Jean Burgess, Loryne White, Edna Swallow, whose sel- ections were excellent and added greatly to the pleasure and profit of both services. We were also very pleased to have our pastor, Rev. H. C. Linstead with us and assist at both services. Mr. J. Elston, Bowmanville, installed a loud speaking equipment which enable all in the large enclosed shed to hear with ease. The to- tal receipts were about $375. Monday evening after a slight shower many spectators gather- ed in the school grounds to wit- ness the baseball game between the married men and the single men. Although the score remain- ed in favor of the married men until the last inning the singles made a valiant effort, and won the game. After the game the crowd retired to the shed to hear the programme. A part of the anniversary fes- tivities was given Monday night, June 17th, in the form of a 3-act play, "Susie Steps Out," presented by the Young People's Union. Rev. H. C. Linstead welcomed the large gathering on behalf of the Union. The play was directed by Mrs. George Brown and Miss Mil- Sdred Snowden and reflected the time and hard work of both the coaches and those taking part. Mildred Metcalf, who played the part of a would-be glamour girl, usan Hallowell, portrayed ex- ~~ingly well the trials of a girl jigto win the affections of her brother, William, played by Bert Snowden's best friend, Arnold, AvigMetcalf. A touch of hum- bur was brought on the scene by iV!ss Minnie, Doreen Jeffery, an '&Wmaid who "still hopes" and Mr. Stanton, Stan Snowden, who was the "hoped for."

Anniversary Sunday School Deceased Officer Receives Mention The following telegram has just been received by Mr. and Mrs. J. Carter, Burketon: "P. 483. The Minister of Air, personally and the Chief of the Air Staff, on behalf of himself and all the ranks of the Royal Can- adian Air Force, takes pleasure in informing you that your son, the late Flying Officer, Roy Edward Carter, J-28855, has been men- tioned in despatches, June 13, by His Majesty the King." F/O Roy E. Carter was shot down in air oper'ations over Hol- land. He was unhurt and immed- iately sought to escape and return to duty, aided by .ioyal under- ground Hollanders. But he was betrayed by collaborationists and was shot down and murdered by German captors, together with several companions. Highly re- garded by all who knew him, F/O Carter left a legacy of bravery now officially acknowledged in this posthumous honor. Mr. Keith Draycott, who was recently discharged from the R.A. F. in England, arrived at the Ex- hibition grounds last Tuesday night and has joined his wife and Ricky in Bowmanville. Finney, and William's girl friend, Mildred Snowden. These mem- bers all played their parts well and added to the enjoyment of the play. The background music was provided by Jack Morton. Solos between the acts were nicely ren- dered by Miss Lenore Collacutt and Mr. Ross Metcalf accompan- ied by Mr. Leslie Collacutt. Internment camp Barracks Being Converted into Homes for Veterans Rotary Club Plans Big Fair Many New Booths, Games At a meeting of the Board of Directors 6f the Bowmanville Rotary Club, Monday evening, plans were completed for the an- nual Rotary Carnival which will take place the evening of Wed- nesday, July 10th, at the Public School Grounds. Owing to legal restrictions which circumscribe many former attractions, plans have been altered, which however, according to the Carnival Chair- man, will result in the Carnival being Bigger and Better than ever. The central object of the Carn- ival is to raise funds devoted to Rotary's Crippled Children Work and the Bowmanville Hospital Fund. Hence, instead of a main draw for a car, there will be num- erous draws of interest to parents and children. These will be awards of bicycles and tricycles in the nature of attendance tickets which must be turned in at the grounds before 9 p.m. with entry forms provided to be filled in. The winners will be announced at the close of the Carnival. Booths will be new, attractive and in greater numbers than be- fore and will be well stocked with an array of merchandise and re- freshments, games and contests, in novel proportions to satisfy the wishes of one and all. This an- nouncement is made at this time to give the date of the event and the general plans, which in later issues of The Statesman will be told ir greater detail. Mark your calendar now.

Yorkshire Breeders Tour Outstanding York Breeding Farms Headed by President George Watkins, manager of the Massey Farms, Canton, a delegation of 31 members of the Durham County Yorkshire Breeders' Improvement Association, made a tour, Wed- nesday, June 5, of several out- standing York Coun.ty farms that specialize in the Yorkshire breed. Secretary E. A. Summers went along as mentor particularly be- cause 16 of the delegation were former members of the Junior Swine Clubs. The journey was made in six automobiles with one car from Hope, two from Cartwright, one each from Clarke, Cavan and Darlington. The main interest was to observe at first hand the modern methods of breeding and feeding employed by the special- ist hog breeders who not only stand high in commercial hog raising but are leaders in supply- ing breeding stock in Ontario. First call at Pickering College Farms, Newmarket, was an event in which the manager Mr. King paraded a fine array of prize win- ning Yorkshires and explained the methods employed and reasons for the special arrangements in stabling and exercise yards. On the adjacent farm of Percy Doner the visitors were likewise receiv- ed and informed. Next stop was at the Shur-Gain Farm of Canada Packers, Downs- view. The automatic feeders here were found to be an innovation permitting a balanced ration on a self-serve plan which completely eliminated waste. Manager Geo. Robson was then host at a dinner to the Durham farmers in the din- ing hall at Canada Packers, Tor- onto. The afternoon was devoted to visits at the farms of Wm. Pink- ney & Sons, Cooksville and Joe Featherston, Streetsville.

BER 25 'S The Statesman joins this week with more than 700 weekly pa- pers across Canada in presenting a special edition in honor of the farmers of this country. This Salute to Agriculture has been made possible by both national and local advertisers and leaders in the field of industry and agri- culture who have contributed many special articles for this is- sue. The central idea has been to give expression to the public thought shared by all that farmers have done a truly magnificent job all during the war and continue to do so in this post war period. Never has the staff of The States- man taken more pride in doing its job in getting out an edition we hope will be read and preserved or possibly mailed to others whose success stems from the soil of their native county. Our Salute is merely the voice of the public. LATE SPORT NEWS Solina Soccer team handed Bowmanville its first defeat 2-0 at Solina last night.
