"Durham Counuty's Gràae Family Journal" VOLUME 95 BOWMANVILLE, ONTARIO, 'IIURSDAY, JULY 2lst, 1949 6c PER COPYNUBR2 Mtemorial Park CommLttee Named Operations Agenda Drawm Up At Meeting in South Ward School A general meeting was he]di hr- South Ward Public Schoc ýiday morning, to reorgani2 thê management -setup of the ME znorial Park, Liberty St. souti which was launched as a commur lty project five years ago. The er terprise was firmly establishe under an active promaotional conr xittee which did a great job undE niany difficulties. Now. in viei of the later establishment of Bowmanville Community Couac and provincial amendments aJ fecting jurisdiction, grants in ai and s0 forth, it was deemed ad Visable to form a permanent e.N ecutive. dily elected, as a coo: dînatirig body to give effectt the general management of thi recreational asset. Smnart Meeting The meeting, presided over b Reeve Norman Allison, with Nor man J. Scott acting as Secretar pro-tem, was conducted with reg u]arized dispatch of a kind seldor seen at any local gathering. A nei siate of officers was elected; ac tive committees were formed; working agenda was discussed an indeed the whole stage was set t go right ahead promptly with th plans approved. Mr. Allison, wlh first declined the office of Presi dent on account off a great prez sure of work, finally consented t act. He immediately called th~ first Executive together te meE the following evening, Monda3 to get right down to business. Since there lbad been a lapseo meetings for two years past, Mi Allison brought things Up te dat by presenting the current finar cial statement and outlining thi necessity for reorganization. H advised that the new park setul would act in conjunction wit] the Recreational Dîrector, who ii turn was responsible through th, Community Council te the Towi Council, which paid the salary e the Director. This revised ar rangement removes the possibilit. of any of the members o! the ex< ecutive being sued for any acci dent that might occur on the parl property. Financlal Report Fmin the detaiied statemen "ead by the President, total ex penses in developing the park am. ounted te $4517.87, leaving a bal. tAficeon hand of $120.53, but thfi ""~ait~ sde< f- tdonationi triif the Women's Institute and Club 15, was earmarked for speci« fie purposes, such as a drinking fountain and an item ta- be ap. proved by Club là. The only op. erating revenue at the momeni was an expected return of a check for $15 for welding work pramised and nlot done. The campaign foi additional revenue will be direct. ed to further improvementi which wili include building2 clubhouse and installing wash. Tobacco Crop Fair Market Femains Doubtful at Present Recent enquiries among Dur- ham County tobacco growers in. dicate that the crop this year will ibe somewhat below normal duE to weather conditions which a£- fected plantings and the long drought in the early growing sea- son. Late rains have greatly im- proved the situation but market prospects this year are giving growers some concern. The announicement made by the British Chancellor off the Excheq- uer that tobacco imports -would Ibe cut 25 per cent xiii have re- percussions among Canadian to- bacco groxvers. But the Growers' Association anticipated impor'. re- strictions and acreage wqs re- duced ta some extent. Other mac- ket outlets are being sought but the consensus is that tCanadian growers wili reap a less profitable crop this year.

W. P. Rogers, veteran orator and club mentor. Hirsute Change The only thing ta add in intro- ducing Mr. Rogers was in the na- ture of a subtractiof, for his fam- iliar, ciipped white mustache had disappeared, leaving his ruddy complexion as youthfully delin- eated as the thoughts he expresses with up-to-date freshness on cur- rent affairs. His address consisted of an informed and penetrating analysis off Communism. Mc. Rog- ers outlin-2d the history of revaolu- tionary mavements following the Medieval period ta measure the conflicting ideologies of Marxism and Christian Democracy and s umined up bis discaurse by sug- gesting the best means of defeat- ing the Communist concept. Opposed Ideologies Mr. Rogers declared that Com- munism was based upon the God- less doctrine propounded in Karl Marx's book, Das KallitaI, but, he pointed out, the report of the Dies Committee on. un-Amecican activ- ities had difficulty in defining where communism entered in ciassifying the individual. The es- sence o! the thing was ta reduce the proietariat ta a dominated commonaliîy, hence communism, which suborned the governed in religion, polities and economies and le!t nothing but a robot exist- ence. On the other hand the speaker verx' clearly defined Christian Democracy as a r-eligion based upon the ageless concept off human dignity and fceedomn and wbich is the only vital force left ta man- kind ta withstand and defeat God- iess communism. He quoted :"Man cannot live by bread alone" asthe keystone o! understanding the two opposed principles. The best way to get rid off a wrong ideol- ogy, is ta adopt and develop a stronger one and this agency was noane other than the Christian re- ligion.

The French Revolution, inspired by Rousseau and Voltaire, brought the violence o! Robes- ipierre with ail its later repercus- sJýons in the rise of the Imperial Bonaparte. Then the Russian Rev- olution of 1917, foliowed on in the salme pattern, and was daomed ta the same fate. : M:ass Violence ^The stream of revolutianary his- tory coursed through the violence o! Torquemada in Spain, who caused the streets in Grenada ta run ankie deep in human bload; through the burnings at the stake on Smithfield Common in London: the St. Bartholomew massacre of Hugenots in France; ail of which trended ta rid the world off tyran- nical political autacracy. The evo- lution brought forth a new stream when the pages of history becamne brigbtenecl with the advent of the Industrial Revolution in England, culminating in the Reform Laws of 1832. Finally, in 1917, Lenin set Up bis revolutionary regime in Ru.- sia ta rid the world of industrial autocracy, a tbeary sound in prin- ciple, but brougbt about the same aid pattern of violence and stuiti- fied with the atheism that scarreci the French Revalution. Just as the French revolutionaries ovt-r- shot the mark, the Russians toc. said the speaker, defying histai y. have violated world talerance and are doomed ta go down in the si- lent struggle taking place on the world stage today. Ultimate Victory Summing up, Mr. Rogers drc- clared that there can be no com- promise between Mai xian Com- munism afd Christian Freedomn. The firm base upon which the struggle must continue on the de- mocratie front is ta encourage clear afd resolute thinking anid thus provide the moral and spirit- ual strength ta support trained leaders ini a just cause. There caf be no doubt of the eventual vie- tory. To inspire that benevolent attitude of mind toward ail people, everywhere, and respect for indi- viduai personality, Mr. Rogers said, was a fundamental precept .of succh orgnnizatip-is as the Ro- tary Club.
