End of the Mackenzie King Era Marks Great Page of History The press ai Canada and indeed Seyond Canada will Se poying tribute ta Rit. Hon. William Lyon Mackenzie King, O.M., this week on his retirement irom the bigb position ai Prime Minister af Canada. Hie resignatian will b. regarded as the close af lhe "King Era" in Canadian history. Many wiii viow Canada's development as comprising three main eras since Confoderatian, thase ai Macdonald, Laurier and King. Mocdanaldiaid the faundations for a new nation, Laurier built the framework ai Dominion statue and Mr. King comploted the structure. History will probably rate this os Mr. King's greateet ochievement in statesman- ship. For oday Canada is a nation in ail re- spects on lhe world stage. In bis stabement la the prose Mr. King caunted hie main achievoment in offlice, tbat ai Dreserving national uniby during the late war. W. prof or ta rate Ibis second ta hat ai com- pleting Dominion statue. Acide fram these two main achievements, Mr. King's record shines with innumerable accomplishmenbs that cum- * uiaively have raised him la a plane ai one ai the great statesmen ai the oge. Hie record ai 21 years, 5 monthe in office broke the Brilis record ai Walpole that had cbood bar more thon two centuries and il may well romain for mare * centuries ta came. Historions will find much materiol ta cii t ouI in trying ta find the answers ta Mr. King's general papularity wibh the Canadian electorate. Ho was an intellectual pacseccing mare earned j academic degrees thon any other leader in tie * hstory ai Canada. Ho was a bachelor wba secluded bimeeli ta the extent liat probably te majority ai Canadians nover saw him. Ho i ocam. aimost a lengendary figure who yeî held the intense layalby ai bis party followers and the. long-sustained ioyalty ai the electorate. Ib was the pereonal privilege ai this editor ta meet Mr. King rnony imes and we con say that iow excelled himn in the warmth ai bis greeing and the pereonal interest ho dicpiayed in hie conversation.

Our liape is that ho will b. spared mcmay years ta fashian his notes and recardsa mb a volume afi moirs to be dedicated ta the. people ai Canada. Nothing could ho more inspiring ta the yuth oi the nation. Even the press that has been most critical ai his policies will today join in wishing Mr. King many more yeara ai good health in bis earned retirement. Col. R. S. McLaughlin, LLD. Views Wealth as Public Trust A grealtbrong gatbered at Queon's Univer- sity in Kingston on Monday, Nov. 15, for -the opening and dedication ai a new building. "McLaugblin Hall," and ta do bonor ta Col. P. S. McLaugbiin, Chairman ai the Board, General Motore ai Canada, Osbawa, the donor ai this magnificent addition ta Queen's which had prev. iously honored, him with the Honorary Degre. ai Dactor ai Laws. It was the privilegeofa this editor to be invited ta the dedication. And il was a crowninq honor ta beel that a native ai Durham Counly, Col. McLaughiin, bad contributed s0 handsomely ta the higber education ai Canad- ian youth. We had occasion ta hear in con- versations witb many present just wbot a wiae philanthropist bas tried to do in hie lifetime for the oducation, bealth and recreation ai the yauth af the nation. Through the genius, ioresigbt and bard work ai his father, Robert McLaughlin, who was later joined Sy his sons, and the resurqence ai an indusîriol revolution, Col. R. S. McLauqblin be. came possessed with a surplus ai wealth wbich ho has constantly used for public benefit. We were reminded ai former gifts sucb as the great recreatian centre near Oshawa, "Camp Samac," for Canadian Boy Scouts, bis numnerous gifla in wbich Mra. ,McLaugblin has shared, ta o szitals, their construction oi Nurses' and Women's Rie- sidences and his contribution to bealthiul rorts. And as we sot in the new McLaughlin Hall at Queen's and listerned ta his address, il came ta us that Coi. McLaugblin accepted hie pereonol fortune clearly as a public trust. Few contemporary Canadlans have Seen more thoughtful and ( ,enerous in contributinq to the essential needs of those who will Senefit, the tudents and teachers and nurses, than this native son of Durham County. It takes somo genlus too, in choosing wisely bow ta bring the createst qood ta the groatest number. Mc- Lauahlîn Hall. which cost well aver $500,000 ta build and equip, is rated the best 1Dlant in Ncrth America for the study ai mechanical engineer- ing. It is put mbt operation precisely at a timo when atamic discoveries open a new era in in- dustrial expansion. Nothîng but abeer ioresiqht can be attributed ta ils conception by Col. Mc- Laughlin. It le things like these that inspire aur baith in the future af this country. Our hope le that Col. McLaughlin will live ta cee the firaI fruits aflite graduates directed, according ta bis wish, Into the paths ai peace and bigber stan- dards ai living. Two Durham County Boys Elected to Varsity Senate In a world-wide election beld among the. graduate body of Toronto Ulniversityr during pat montha ta choose the 68 grade consitutianally toaoct on the Senate of the University, two ai the members elected corne from Durham County, Dr. 1. B. Reynolds, M.A., LLD., Rowmanvillo, and Dr. W. J. Langmaid, D.D.S., Oehawa. Dr. Reynolds, former President, Manitoba Agriculturai Calloge, President Ontario Agricul- tural Coliege and now ils President Emeritus, lives retired in Bowmanville. Born in Sauina, groduate ai Bowmanvillo High Schooi, ho went on ta win high University honours before de- voting bic lu e ta the science ai agriculture. The Conadian Dean ai Agricultural professors ta- day, iew bave dono more for this country ta - promote thie basic intereet. Dr. W. 1. Langmaid, aiea born neor Salina, grodualed from Bowmanville Higb School, won distinction at the Faculty of Dentistry Seore entering practice in Oshawa a quarter Century ago. Outelanding in hie profession ho bas taken a ieading part in many organizalions in Osh- awa, including the Presidency ai the Chamber ai Commerce and the Rotary Club. Dr. Reynolds will represent the Foculty ai Agriculture and Dr. Langmoid the Faculby ai Denlistry with their aseaciales on the Univer- sity ai Toronto Sonate. There were 31,416 bol- lobe sent in by airmail f ram all parts ai the globe in the election. Selecting two for-the Sonate who are natives ai Durham County. Darlinglon Township, from Ibis great number le a motter for warm congratulation. (We regret ta report that since this oditoriai was written Dr. Reynolds bac pased away). Ed. Hon. C. D. Howe Joins Star in Hyciro Anvil Chorus gavernrnentsa econamic programme. Seidom la Canadian history bas any prominent politiclan aeized an occasion of public incanvenience ta make politîcai capital with eucb ulber disregard for truî'h. In justice ta aur correspondent and aur readers generaiiy, we bave a duty ta disclose the falsity ai these stabements. When these deroctors deciare that iack ai rainflîl bas bad littie ta do with tb. present ahortage ai' power, we quoe. these ctuthenticated figures. Power generated in only, twa eastern planta ior delivery ta Ontaria custamers in Nov- emiber, 1947, tatalled 39,948,000 k.w. haurs. Due ta iack ai rainfail, the. power delive rod this year for the. came periad Jram the same twa planta. wa only 20,587,800 k.w, hours. This shartage of mare thon 19,000,000 k.w. hours, argues the Star and Mr. Hawe, con be charged ta George Drew. By the sanie tokon ho can be charged with al the. drastic shartages naw suffered in the United States and elsewhere due ta drauth. As ta hanipering the gavernmenî's ecan- omic programme w. might suggeet ta Mr. Howe that ho laok back ta the. tue when ho insiated that Canada cauldn't build tanks and planes and shipa. But at the insistence ai leading Canser- votives including George Drew, public opinion iarced Mr. Howe ta loy down a programme that Canadians drove thraugh ta win warld acclaim. Now h. again insulta public opinion by Laselesa- charges againat Mr. Drew, alI if& cbeap paliticol advantage. Charging Drew with lack ai rain- foul in quit. a compliment that elevates hum ta the rank of Delby. Case of Sleeping Sickness in Municipal Elections We devote juat twa paragrapha ta remind the. Bowmanville electorate that nominations for the 1949 municipal aiffices ta b. f illed will b. held in the Town Hall on Friday evenlng, Nov. 26. Electians ta be held an Monday, December 6, are ta select a full council alate from Mayar ta tail end, ta choose three for the Board ai Education and ane far Public Utilities. Interested ratopayers will naminato and vote for wham they consider Sest iitted to spend their tax manies with economy wbile providing. the best passible local services. Thal last sentence is pure tbeory s0 for as elections in Bowmanville have qone for some years pat. It seems that a form of sleeping sickness cames over this cammunity oyound nomination time. The proctice has been ta give acclamations ta a rump council and thon hold a loter election ta f ili the slate. To avoid customary squawks resulting fram public opatby during municipal elections may we once ogain remind thot nominations faîl on Nov. 26. That is the time ta wake up and act. A mare exact reminder will appear in this column next week. Board of Education Tenders Drilliant Banquet and Dance To Local Teachers and Guesis The Bowmanville Board of Ed- ucation entertained the teachers of the High School, the Public Schoals and other gueste £rom the district at a brilliant banquet and dance in the east salon of the Bal- moral Hotel, Friday nigit. This gathering and entertainment bas become an annual event an a high social level which goes quite a way in pramoting due recogni- tion of the teaching profession andi contributes ta the morale of the teaching personnel since an informed speaker is invited for the occasion. Guest Speaker The guest speaker Friday nigbti was Mr. C. F. Cannon, B.A., B. Paed, Superintendent of Ele- montai-y Education for the pro- vince undex- the Ontario Depart- ment of Education. Mr. Cannon, a former teacher in Newcastle High Scbool, spoke an education generally but his remarks were mare concerned with primary and elementary educatian and the modern concept of leading pupils ta learn, ta develop initiative, rather than ta pursue the aid method o! teaching by rote from stereotyped texte. The speaker devoted came at-1 tention ta the hîgh importance of!' School Boards in effecting chan-1 ges in the educational setup, His1 JuvenileDelinquency W. H. Ellia, a former juvenie court judge, told Esteven Rotarians recontly that the qreatest .blessing that cauld overtake Canada in these days ai unsalved national problems would be the re-establishment ai the old-iashioned home, where character was bufit, where good neigh- bars developed; where Christian ideals and goodwill grew aide by aide. Most boys' edu- cation neyer gets them 50 f ar as ta face up with the diiierence between right and wrong. Delinquency la iundamentally and essentialiy a manifestation aifcorne maladjustment, at some time or place in a boy's fif e.- And if thia la true, that it cames as a resuit ai came lack ai moral or spiritual adjustment, then it becomes abviaus that it cannot be attacked as you'd attack a nest ai hornets or the immora(l ceas- ppols ai the larger city. Where you find a community in which the people have no interest in worthwhile thinga; where chlldren are allowed ta run around with- out any guidance; where crime picture shows and books are the popular literature and en- turtalnxent-you will only need ta wait a f ew years ta reap a harvest ai children who will becanie inmates ai jilIs and other corrective institutions. An Alternative Government The most important recuit af the political canventiona ai the three leading parties is that Hia Majeaty'a Loyal Opposition has now em- erged as a visible alternative gavernment. Whot- ever the cause ai disunity may have been in t he Progressive Conservative Party, it bas consoli- dated behind the policies iormulated and the leader chosen at its national convention. Good gavernment is fostered by a good Opposition which the people regard as an alternative gov- ernment in the event of their becoming dis- sotisiied witb the party in power. Canadians can look forward ta a healthy political activity in and out af parliament in the immediate future. The bot slave politicians, who naw nieet in the garages as well as in the gen- oral stores and barber shops, who are the real gavernment ai the country, are renewing their Intereat in party politics and studying the new political situation. It shouid flot be eurprising ta find thal at least two-thirds ai the voters ai Canada will have a general idea af what they are talking about when they are discussing politica during the next session of parliament. -John Atkins in The Scene f rom Shingwauk Farm. thumberlar1d Health Unit, R.
