An alert clerk in a Toronto depart- ment store called police when the culprit asked to have one of the forged checks cashed last Thurs- day. It was the last of a series of eight blank Town of Bowman- ville checks stolen from the Town Hall vault last May. When ar- rested the thief readily admitted his guilt and related the entire circumstances. His name, he said, was John Watson and while employed with National Selective Service, Osh- awa, he was assigned to its tem- porary Bowmanville office each Friday. Occupying the Council Chamber, permission was given to store the government records in the town vault each week. It appears that he located a wrapped bundle of blank checks and ex- tracted eight which he later filled in for various amounts, forged the name of Mayor and Clerk, and had little difficulty in cashing them. Posing as a town employee on roads and streets he entered amounts up to $50 and $60 for "labor" and was famihiar with the names of town officials and had no trouble, after making small purchases, to get the balance in cash. He tripped up on the lasi check by failing to sign the name of the Mayor. His total "take' is estimated at approximately $400. He appears for trial in To ronto, September 13 and ha agreed to plead guilty to theft forgery and false pretenses. Chief of Police Sidney Venton has been busy on, the case snce May when the theft occurred and requested that publicity be with- held meantime.

Harvesting is in full swing across the extensive plantations extending from Hope township to the Burketon district and in qual- ity and yield is said to be oneof the best since tobacco was first in- troduced into this area some ten years ago. Acreage this year is more than doube that of last year. Last year 14 farms embracing 550 acres marked a high point locally but this year 29 farms with over 1,200 acres were planted. Of these, Durham Plantations, fire in the field, operate 18 farms with half of them producing this season. In Clarke township, Canada Plan- tations, Newcastle, have six farms presently in production. Other acreage is cultivated by individual operators and much more land is being prepared for the 1947 season. Among the lat- est to enter the industry is C. E. Ste henson MP who bought a Lions Club Arranges Musical Concerts for Full Winter Season Citizens of Bowmanville and district will be greatly pleased at the announcement of the program committee of the Bowmanville Lions Club, that musical concerts will be presented in the High School auditorium for the fall ànd wintereseason. The first con- cert will be held, Wednesday ev- ening, October 16, to be followed by one each month until the ser- ies of six are fulfilled. Wishart Campbell, well known singer who is program director of CFRB and formei- music director R.C.A.F. met the Lions commit- tee, Andy Thompson, Earl Rid- dols and Charles Carter, Jr., on Tuesday, and concluded arrange- ments for the series which will be known as The Radio Artists' Concert Series. The program will be recitals featuring male and female ar- tists who will present a range of classical and popular music sel- dom heard before in local circles. Tickets for the six concerts will be on sale at $5 with announce- ment of price of single tickets to be made later.

Memorial Park Plans Big Carnival For Wed., Sept. 25 BOWMANVILLE, ONT., THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 12, 1946 Union Officials In Last Week' Concerning Ri rie in: in ua the ca pai at apl tie th so So se .M ty ec de se es. ed h p lie 'di ha in ce m Another local Fair and Carni- t] al will be held in Bowmanville A Le evening Wednesday, Septem- n er 25, on the grounds of the new i .emorial Park, Liberty St. south. n n case of rain it will be held the c olfowing evening. These partic- a lars are given immediately to fo- s us public attention on this im- ortant event. Further details t 'ill be found in the display ad- a ertisement in this issue. t The event has been planned as Community Carnival to raise unds for developing and improv- r ng Memorial Park, which hrough the interest and generos- ty of the Rotary, Lions Clubs, Jnion 189, and many individual f itizens, has already become a ivic attraction with primary in- erest in the welfare of the child- en and youth of the town. Softball games are presently >eing played there and the Lions playground equipment has been njoyed by children during the 3ummer. Plans call for an out- loor rink and sports in general. :t is hoped that fioodlights will >e erected for night games next year. To make it a place which will conform to the original con- ception it will be readily seen that more money is needed. Hence this monster carnival to be shared in by everyone. Joining together under auspi- ces of the Çivic and War Activ- ities Committee, the Rotary and Lions Clubs and the Bowmanville branch of the Canadian Legion, are putting their combined weight behind the project. At a joint meeting in the Town Hall, Fri- day, various committees were named to take charge of all the departments planned for the oc- casion. Chairmen named to head up the general organization include, Fair Manager and Chairman Car- nival Committee, Reeve Sid. Lit- tie; Grounds Committee, N. J. Scott; Advertising Committee, J. M. James; Treasurer, Ray Dilling; Secretary, Norman Allison. Besides the 14 booths on the grounds which will be featured with the usual attractions rang- ing from bingo to fruits, groceries and o forth, there will be lucky draws on tickets selling for 25c each. The main prizes are two elegant, new radios for which 5,000 tickets have been printed and the sale of which will take place ritht up to the draws. The first draw will be at 10:30 p.m., the next at 11:30 p.m. This advance notice of the great event will be followed with fur- ther news in next week's States- man. Meantime it is- hoped that citizens will plan now to keep this date open and arrange to be in attendance to help out in a very worthy cause. Chicken Thieves Caught Wednesday Last week The Statesmnan car- ed an articleTbased aollynupon formation gathered at first hand respect of the local strike sit- ation. It was stated clearly that ie points brought out in no way me from officials of either com- .ny or union. Sections of the blic wanted news of this strike the Goodyear plant and under pparent reluctance of both par- es to the dispute to release au- .entic news, information was ught from generally informed urces. The story herewith, which eks to correct some of the state- ents made, is abridged from a pewritten statement handed the ditor Monday, by Union Presi- ent N. Allison and Union press ecretary E. A. Jones. Every ssential point made can be stat- d as follows: The union feels that someone as sought to create a wrong im- ression in the mindh of the pub- c in regard to the strike. At ifferent times union releases ave been cut to give a mislead- ng impression at times. The report continues: "August 30, a union meeting re- eived reports of Strategy Com- îittee and their meetings with he rubber industry in general At a recent meeting a 98 per cent motion carried to permit Pres- dent Allison to attend the Inter- ational Convention at San Fran- isco.

Long need- ed, it will replace the outmoded contraption now in use and pro- vide first class fire protection för property owners. The story of the purchase brings out the fact that Bowmanville Council, aided by quick laison of Charlie Stephen- son, Durham's M.P. at Ottawa, got in ahead of six other municipal- ities bidding for the fire truck. Months ago Mayor and Council authorized Councillor and Fire Chairman A. S.. Baker to get in on the ground floor to bid on fire equipment declared surplus by the government and offered for sale by War Assets. Mr. Stephenson was contacted and spent mùch time on the job locating a suitable fire truck. When his wire came, Councillor Baker, Fire Chief L. Hooper and maintenance expert J. Hately went to Ottawa and completed the deal. They negotiated a price of $2865. FOB fully equipped and guaranteed for the truck costing originally over $8600 and used only three times.

Approximately 400 mem- ers attended the meeting and e offer was turned down by un- nimous standing vote.

The meeting was under chair- nanship of President Norman .llison and he and other mem- ers of the executive explain- md the situation. It was brought ut that Mr. Allison is drawing o remuneration from local un- on funds which offsets a rumor o that effect. Mr. Allison stated rhat decision of the meeting would e sent by letter to Company management immediately.

In order that the publie may be fully ad- vised in this very important drive for funds the names of the var- ious committees are given be- low. While the major portion of the money solicited will be used for post war work in Canada it should be told that the Salvation Army still maintains its workers overseas among the Canadian Armed Services and the wives and children of dependents not yet re- patriated. No more worthy cause comes before the Canadian people than that of generous support for the Home Front cause. In case any homes are missed in the general canvass the suggestion is made that a phone call to any of those whose names appear herewith -will receive prompt attention. Please plan now to set aside funds to be ready for the canvas- sers. Can-paign Committees Bowmanville: Mayor C. G. Mor- ris, honorary chairman; Charles Carter, chairman; F. O.

At a general meeting of local union No. 189 U.R.W.A., held in the Town Hall, Sunday, current matters dealt with by the 250 pre- sent included discussion of a pe- tition allegedly being circulated among men on strike to test out a back to workn rvement.eIt was shown that union by-laws give no authority for such a move and it is thought that the promoters of the document were ignorant of the regulations. President N. Allison addressed the meeting and urged the ne- cessity of maintaining a solid front behind the union objectives now being pressed. Other speak- ers stressed that Mr. Allison had sacrificed much time and leisure to maintain confidence among the members. The meeting was un- animous that he has given his best efforts in the cause. Mr. Allison informed the mem- bers that he had abandoned the trip authorized for him to attend the San Francisco conference in order to be in position to meet company officials if and wherg they were ready to negotiate any offer satisfactory to the union to end the strike. Agreement was unanimous ta wait for official word in regard to the pattern set by the steelwork- ers after which a meeting would be called to draft a proposal for further consideration by the com- pany. The strike, now in its 12th week indicates that the union has been 100 per cent solid for legiti- mate action taken by its manage- ment, although the petition in question has been signed by some without authorization. The above report is a summary of the meeting as brought to the editor Monday by President Alli- son and press secretary E. A. Jones. The editor was advised that a vote would be taken at the meeting on the question of ad- mitting a reporter from The Statesman, but apparently the vote was not taken. Rotarians Back Off Vacation Tell Impressions OtherClubs Mrs. C. W. Semon Tells of Recent Trip At Trinity W.A. The September meeting on Tuesday afternoon met in the school room. The worship service was in charge of Mrs. Baker with Miss L. Jackson reading the Scripture and Mrs. E. Strike offering pray- er. Mrs. Baker then called on the guest speaker, Mrs. Slemon who in glowing terms pictured to her audience her 8,000 mile trip to California and noted all the places and items of most interest on the way. She specially stressed the friendliness, courtesy and hospi- tality of our American cousins and the spirit of good will shown in the churches. Mrs. S. James and Mrs. Richmond sang a pleas- ing duet "Whispering Hope" and responded to an encore which was muc henjoyed. The president Mrs. D. Alldread then took charge of the business and called on the secretary, Mrs. J. E. Elliott for the minutes of the last meeting: Letters were re- quested to be sent to several sick and bereaved families. The group reports showed Mrs. Baker's group having the largest attend- ance and Mrs. Edwin Woods' group handing in the most money with Mrs. Jamieson's group a close second. The fall fair was announced for October and Mrs. J. E. Elliott's group were asked to do the decor.ating. At the close a social time was spent over a cup of tea and cookies and thus the W.A. got off to a good start for the fall tern with 55 present. Attend Convention Mr. and Mrs. Geo. W. James left Monday night to attend the 27th annual convention of the (1-iinn WPklv Newspapers. With attendance almost back t normal after summer vacationd Rotarians met Friday to enjoy an impromtu programme arranged by committee chairman Charles Carter Sr. His idea was to have Rotary members back from holi- days tell where they had made up attendance and to tell frankly their impressions as guests of sis- ter clubs here and there across the province. So a half-dozen sun-tanned, revivified, summer nomads arose to tell their stories. The central theme was the gen- uine fellowship enjoyed in these visits with the general footnote that they brought out a fuller appreciation of the home town club. The Speakers Bill James, the first speaker, told of making up his attendance at Huntsville and Lindsay to which points he motored out from a Haliburton lake resort. He found local attendance less than expected but with so many Ro- tarians vacationing in the north from many points in Canada and USA, the gatherings exceeded normal, with no less than 26 vis- itors at the Huntsville meeting. He was of opinion that both meals and programmes at home were tops yet it was a pleasure to see how other clubs operated and to meet fellow members from so many places. Jim Devitt missed his outside attendance completely, for, as he said, he was too far into the woods at Algonquin Park angling for. speckled trout. He f ound himself in good company since so many Rotarians were engaged in the -same quest. At camps and on trails he met many from Can- ada and the USA whose fellow- ship was expressed in the great outdoors.
