Unless otherwise given, the points are briefed un- der "Q" and "A" ta bring out the gist of the information. Wheat payments are ta the fore right now in the annauncement by Trade and Commerce Minister C. D. Howe that another payment of 20c per bus. is being made from the surplus under state trading. A total of some $240,000,000 will be disbursed ta western wheat farmers. A western member raised the , question if this payment would be counted as this year's revenue for porposes of income tax, rather than average it as of each year - ie1945 The Revenue Minis- w aid 'voes' the payments will h e regarded as income for the year. Thon his questioner oh- served: the .goveroment will get most of it back in taxes. But the thing won't apply ta 1 eastera fail wheat.

Phone 438 B O W M A N V 1 L L E jWe now turn aid Dobbin's head ta the east and go down Church Street and towards the end of the block we find the Trinity"Con- gregatianal Church, a large frame church rather' ironicaily placed next door ta the AIma Hotel. The minister is Rev. Hughi de Burke, a man of strong personality, ta a large hearing. It was under his ministry that the parsonage was buiît, the eight-sided resid- ence on corner of Division and Wellington, the oniy one like it in the world. It was bard ta be- lieve that in a few years the church would be turned into a glove factory. As we pass the botel we notice a large, white, frame church on the adjacent corner. It is the Auld Kirk, stili holding services but with the band writing on the wall. The membership is mostly old die- hard Scots, holding out against the new Presbyterian. They are dying cff pretty rapidly at the top while the younger generation, in- stead of coming in at the bottom ta take the1z places, are going ta the new Presbyterian or some ather church where they can at least breath on the Sabbath. A few years later it was torn down. We continue east and in the middle of the block we find St. Jaseph's Roman Catholic Church. The R.C. population of Bowman- ville at that date was small and so the cangregation while devoted was nat large. Tbere was na resident priest. Directly across the road we find the Disciple's Churcb, wedg- ed in between an aId foundry and a shop used by a taxidermist. Though wedged in tbey were flot being smathered, as, in fact, tbey were then planning ta build else- where and move out, which dream was, as you know, later realized. 1We continue east to the end of the block and there find the Wesleyan Methodist Church. A fine brick structure enjaying the largest membership in the .tawn and prospering under the guidance of Rev. D. C. McDowell, who with his wife and large family was higbly esteemed and deservedly popular. They also were plan- ning ta enlarge the church and improve it. We now turn aur horse's head ta the right and proceed south and in the middle of the block on the east side, we discover a long narrow brick building. It is the Primitive Methodist Church, like its creed, long and narraw. Here again, though stili functioning, the death warrant is out and in a short time it closed up. Where- the defending plans and the Mon- treal fiight, in a very clear wea- ther, bypassed the planes haver- ing over Bowmanville. Like Toronto citizens, the people of Bowmanville were at- tending church and knew nathing of the proposed air battle. Ini fact fexv on the streets saw anything and heard only a bee-drone same- where which was caused by the fighter planes 10,000 feet above. According ta Mayor L. C. Mason the town wasgiven noa warning ta assemble doctors and ambul- ances ici case of casualties. But it just gaes ta show xvhat might happen in the uncertain future.

The seed catalogue will help materially in this planning. It will list ail colours, of course, 1 and also the approximate time each plant cornes into flower. With that information it is com- paratively easy to have a suc- cession of bloom from Spring un- tii freeze-up. In shrubbery, for instance, the succession can start <where At is hardy enough) with the Forsythia, which flowers ai- most as soon as the snow goes, and end with the Buddelia or ,Butter Fly bush, xvhich -blooms in September and October.

The pews were thrown out, a hardwood floor laid, and soon the youth and beauty, and some frowsey aid ones, were raoll. ing round and round every night and most afternoons, an the little wheels while the fad lasted. - We continue on, but pause as we reach King Street, and turn- ing our head to the east we note the spot where the Salvation Army under Capt. Ada Hind Is preparing to build a barracks. Crossing, vie continue down to Queçn Street we find a large brick church, the home of the Bible Christians, with a large congregation and the minister supported by a Hallelujah Chorus of local preachers in the Amen corner. One would have been derided if he had suggested that in a short tirne it would evolve into an evaporator. We again rein to the right and proceeding west, at the end of the block we find we are abreast ofSt. John's Anglican Church property but must turn the corner to reach the entrance to the church, a fine brick structure re- flecting credit on fhe pioneers who erected it. The rector is Rev. Dr. McNab, later to become Canon McN.ab. (A Canon is a big gun in the Church of England). A scion of the prominent family of that day. A tali handsome man, and with his long silvery beard reaching ta his waist and in his clerical costume, was undoubtedly the most outstanding figure in the local clergy, and he knew it. His congregation was not large at that time as church quarrels had re- duced the attendance to near zero at times, but it was recovering. This brings us to the end of the circle, that is, if a circle has an end, %and I1xviii let you off at Milne's Corner where you can get some refreshing ale. 1 might add that "the Breth- ern," better known as "Plymouth Brethren" though that is flot the correct title. and still better known as "Plyms," met at the home of Mrs. Col.
