There was littie time ieft for a man wbe tcok bis duties as an exacting and responsible job. Many believed that an MP bad a soft Urne with free transporta- tion on railroads, but the speaker pointed eut that the eld custom of providing free transportation te the famiiy of a member had been rescinded and the favor can- net now be secured without pre- cisc forms cf recommendation.

We believe bbc Town Council approve o! doix4g this, but desire the full co-opera- tien and support of bbc ciizens. Going Conccrn During bbe short ime lb bas been in existence bbc Cemmunity Council and its Director bave laid a sound basis for an expanding recreational programme in Bow- manville. Recreation is o!ten in- correctly considered as being en- tirely sports for bbc young and atbletic. Actualiy, any programme approved by bbc Departmenb cf Education for grant purposes must be quite extensive and provide opportunities for active partici- pation by young and old alike, in games, hobbies, study groups, etc. General Programme Among other bings our Cern- muniby Ceuncil bas organized and assisted in conducting, or bas laid plans for conducbing: Youth Activities- 1. Teen Town-open to ail teen- agers who met regularly at the High School. It provides youth with opportunity for wholesome entertainment and can include such activities as debating, drama, mock parlia- ments, trials, camera clubs, hobby groups. 2. Learn-to-swim classes - this might of itself justify the ex- penditure of the whole recra- tion programme. Hundreds of boys and girls have overcome fear of water and have learned the basic points of swimming Phone 674 in the last two summers. 3. Day Camps - Conducted tours preferably in rural areas dur- ing holidays. 4. Supervised Playgrounds-Daily recreation periods for young during holidays under direc- tion of paid supervisers. 5.

A great deal of admirable work has been done by individuals, as- sociations and societies in Canada to relieve the austerity of the British citizen In a period of food shortages and other restrictions. Canadian citizens have respondeil generousiy to varied appeals, private and general. It Is really surprising to learn the number of persons who reguiarly pack par- cels for their British relatives or friends. Some Canadians main- tain a regular schedule of ship- ments at considerable expense to themselves. These genuine expressions of kindness and consideration, these evidences of recognition of the difficulties in which our British cousins find.themnselves through no fault of their own, are in every way commiendable. About a year ago a greup of persons interested in philanthropy and who had given generously to agencies having for their objec- tive the relief of the people of Europe generally undertook a survey of the costs involved . Their conclusions were that a good deal of money was spent ineffectually in the transportation, assembly and distribution of relief goods and parcels. This group there- upon moved to reduce this item of expense or to eliminate iA alto- gether. Through the co-operation of the British and Canadian govern- ments it was found possible to cut the costs of delivery and to reduce competition for scarce items of general need in Britain. United Emergency Fund for Britain (UEFB) has fortunately achieved its objective and it is now possible to add approximate- ly one-third to the real value of a parcel at the same cost. The Fund is making a general appeai to Canadian people for the relief of the hard pressed British people, whose inadequacies and monoto- ny of diet are a matter of common knowledge. The Fund's general campaign started on November i6th and will last until December 5th. The service will, bowever, be a con- tinuing one. -as long as the need lasts. 44 KIng St. Bowmanville Lions Club Supports Appointmnent of Recreational Director Meeting with Jack Brough, President cf thc Liens Club, just before press time, we asked his opinions and that of bis Club witb regard te the fuli-tirne ap- pointmcnt cf a Recreabional Di- recter. Speaking right off the cuff, Lien Jack said that tbe Lions Club bas aiways been bchind tbe idea and wbcn a Recreational Director bad been in Bowrnanville, the Club bad cc-operatcd witbhlm in all bis community projects. The Lions Community Cntre had ibeen tbrown wide opente assisb in many o! bis undertakings and indeed bad provided an of- fice for him during bis stay in Bowmanville. President Jack felt that Bowmanvilie took second place te none when it came te progressive action in communiby recreational activities and be f elt that since other municipahities througbout Ontarie were spon- soring a fuil-time Director. that Bowmanville was net iikeiy te be found wanbing in supplying this very desirabie community nced. He said that the Club was whole- bcartcdly bebind the preject and was wiiling te give every possible support and co-operatien te who- ever was a.ppointed te tbe post. Bowmanville Girl Guides Want Recreation Director Interviewed by The Statesman, Tuesday, in regard te the plebis- cite on hiring a new Recreational Director te carry on the work cf1 the Community Council, Mrs. A.; J. Frank, District Commissioner1 fer Girl Guides, said: "Having werked for a number of years with the young people cf this community, I realize the need for a planned recreatien program. "To place the responsibility cf a program sufficient te meet the needs of cur youth, as welh as aduit greups, on the shoulders o! a few public-spiritcd ciizens is surely an unneccssary imposi- tien." "Therefore, 1 strongiy recorn- mend that a new Recreationai Di- rector be appointed te carry on tbc saund]y establisbed program that bas opcrated successfuhly tbe past two years, and be sbeuld be given aur full support. "Let us go forward te make Bowmanville second te none in the fields o! sport and crafts. I urge every voter te vote "Yes" in tbe plebiscite next Monday." Rotary Club Favors Securing Another Recreational Director At a recent meeting of the Board of Directors of the Bowmanvilie Rotary Club it was unanimousiy endorsed that the Bowmanville Rotary Club do everything pos- sible from a moral standpoint to persuade the local Council to hire, as soon as possible, another re- creational directorn We feel that while this work wiil take a few years to be noticed, that it is something that will buiid up and wiil, in time, prove te, be one of the best investments to- ward both the yeung and old of our community. S. BLAIN ELLIOTT, Secretary. Mother Speaks Her Mind on Securing Recreational Director Dear Editor: May I be allowed te voice the mothers' or parents' viewpoint on this plebiscite as to whether or not we engage an- other Recreational Director? First of ail, not to do so would be a backward step. Let us raise our families in a progressive tcwn, and aim to go forward. AUl ever Ontario cities, towns and com- munities are becoming recreation conscious and governments are appointing directors over the prov- inces and giving grants to each town of one-third the salary of its director. Let us again avail our- selves of the services of a director and let organized, supervised ac- tivities be provided here, not in neighboring towns and cities. It makes for a bappy home and; family life when parents are as- sured of their boys' and girls' 1 activities being directed and sup- ervlsed. We ail heartily endorse beaith insurance as good assurance. Why not recreational assurance? The homes without childi-en can reap the ibenefits of this or- ganized and supervised recrea- tion in the better conduct and living of bis neighbor, who has iearned bow to spend his leisure hours, and also in bis own "Off the Job Living," in the plying of hobby or craft taught by such a director. Shorter hours of work mean longer bours of leisure, so let us be assured o! organized and sup- ervised recreation. Yours for community directed and supervised recreation.

FRUIT STORE i' ý iý Addressing a gathering cf auto- mobile workers in Rome, Pope Pius referrcd te the Cornmuflist union leaders as "those renova- tors in the world wbe take upon tbcmselves thbe care o! the inter- ests cf workers as though it was their own monopoly." He said they "flash before the eycs of the people a mirage cf future pros- pcrity and richness based on the superstition cf technique and or- ganization .... The church neyer promises equality wbicb others proclaim, because lb knows that life aiways produces a scale cf gradations and differences in physical and intellectual qualit- ies." I ar not a Roman Cathoic but I tbink the Pope in these few sentences exposcd tbe faliacies tbat are the root of rnost social, political and international troub- les of our Urne. Cornrunists and Sociaiists alike bave set thern- selves up as world renovators, and as a resuit cf their work we have bad, in one generation, two of the worst wars in bistory. Soc- ialism criginated in Germany and lb gabhered strcngth under Bis- marck who, altheugh be was a conservative, set up a system of State Socialisrn in order te placate and control the workers and strike the ground from under the Marx- ist Secialist agitators. This was foiiowed by an intensification of German nationaiism and imper- iaiism under tbe Kaiser, wbo con- ceived the idea that bis mission was te spread German culture and rule throughoub the world. The Second Worhd War was pianned and iaunched for the same purpose under National Socialism by Hitler and bis Naze Party, with a resuit that is only tee weil known. But the lesson cf these two wars bas net been heeded by Socialists, and the rulers of the Union cf Soviet Socialist Repub- lîcs are boday fohiowing in tbc footsteps of the Kaiser and Hit- ler. The lesson cf the two world wars is that Sociahism, whatever name lb assumes, leads cventually to. totalitarianism, and aggressivc imperialism. Boi2i Hitler and Mussolini were criginaily Social- ists and they climbed te power on the backs o! the workers, whom they immediabcly suppressed and turned into State slaves. They flasbed before tbe eyes cf the peo- pie the mirage o! a Utopia in wbicb everybody would bave perpebual prosperity and freedom frorn the cares cf this world. For a while they seemed te succeed in fui! il- ling their promises, but the mirage faded and the hast condition of the German and Italian people, as we sec it today, is far werse tban the first. Instead o! improving the world, these "renovators" have made a mess of it. And tbe reason for their failure is that the world is $1.5o - $2.00 Yardley Lavender $1.25 $1.95 - $2.75 75e $1.25 - $1.50 Gillette Razors 49e $3.79 - $6.00 made Up of a great variety of hurnan beings who can flot te pounded into a mass and reprod- uced in a single mold. As the Pope says: "Life always produces a scale of gradations and differen- ces in physicai and intellectual qualîties." Christianity does flot promise equality, but it does in- sist upon individual responsibility and human brotherbood under the Fatherhood of God. Ahl mén are brothers, but bre- thers in a farnily are flot alike; yet there can be a bond of mutuai sympatby and help between tbem. And that is the first essential to the true brotherhood o! mankind. The renovation of the world must begin from witbin the hearts of men, witb the salvation of the in- dividual from the sins of selfisb- ness, greed, envy and batred, wbich are the causes of ail social, 1 . 1 CHRISTMAS IS JUST AROUND THE CORNER Coigate's Men's Sets Ladies' 95e - $1.15 - $1.65 - $2.25 Cashmere Bouquet Sets Painiolive Men's Sets 85e - $1.25 - $1.60 - $2.35 95e - $1.15 - $1.75 - $1.85 Yardiey Ladies' Sets Yardly Ses fo Men$1.85 - $3.65 - $4.00 $1.85i - $Sets for3.e 0 Yardley Lavendomeal $1.85 - $2.50 - Sets0$1.50 - $2.56 6o5ur e n'$1Sets ardley Bath Salts $1.25-$3.00 85e - $1*1OYardley Lotus -- $1.50-$2.50 Shave Du Maurier 5.>UW e Algm i il FamiIy Tonc- Boxed Shvug " RIch in Vifomin A Soaps BrSheing und Sunshine 7.0 5 59e to $5.00 " iui 10 15 Travllig 59~ ad .l9~Evening in Travelling anPrs Perfume Cases *75e $4.50 -$11.951 $1.00 - 32.50 Ladies' Brush, Comb and Mirror Sets NYLON BRISTLED BRUSHES - PLASTIC BACKS NEW SHADES - ASSORTED SHAPES $7.95 - $8.95 - $9.95 * $ 15.50 Evening in Paris Ladies' Sets $1.25 - $1.75 - $2.50 - $2.65 - $4 - $5.50- $7.50 PoeCOWLING'S DRUG STOR E n 695 Tise 1 zý TECIMSDAT, t)XC. 2i%-d. 1948 mail to the following: It is ail surnmed up in these words of Scripture: 'Tram whence corne wars and fightings among you? corne tbey flot hence, even of your iusts that war in your members?
