"Durham County's recu Family Journal"e VOLUME 95 BOWMÂNYILLE, ONTARI09 HURSDÂY, SEPTEMBER Tht, 1949 6c PER COPYNUER3 Two Receut 1mmigants ~ell Story of Holland Rotary Club. Discussion The weekly meeting of the Bowmanville Rotary Club took a diflerent form on Friday when instead o! having the usual alter luncheon speaker the club was tortunate in having two recently arrived Dutch immigrants, Jack Vermeulen and Nol Besteman, who headed the main part of the program. But instead of giving addresses they answered numer- eus questions put forth by the Rotarians on conditions in Hol- land. The two exceptionally clever ypung Dutchmen were introduced to the club by John M. James, M.*P.-elect, who is in charge of the International Service Commit- tee. He stated that Nol Best- mian and he had been on similar work in Holland during the war, both doing Field Service Work. Mr. Besteman is now employed at the Bowmanville Goodyear plant. Jack Vermeulen was in the trucking business ini Holland and during the occupation by the Germans hiad some very exciting experiences. The meeting was then turned over to the club for dis- cusson with the two Dutchmen. To start the bal -olling both of the guests gave a brief hîstory of their lives. Jack Vermuelen was born about 10 miles from Rotterdam on a farm where he stayed and completed bis educa- tioný,and then went into the truck- ing business. Nol Bestman was born in Rot- terdam and went to High School there. At the outbreak of war he was about to enter technical school but the war closed these institutions. He joined the police force and was in Nijmegen at the end'of the war. When the Cana- dian army arrived he volunteered as a transiator and guide. He stayed in the occupation forces in G ermany until 1947 and then returned to Holland.. He then dlecided that there was no future in staying in Europe so be and his family came to Canada. The discussion period tben ritarted in earnest from which the Iwing interesting information s9gained. hel4olland is a country 200 miles long and 150 miles wide with a population of approximately 8 million. Before the war about 25% of thîS population lived off Presentatioris To ]Rev. & Mrs. Quiqley By St. Paul's Groups Following Rev. G. Cameron Quigley's farewell service in St. Pauls United Chureh on Sunday evening, the congregation retined to the lecture room for a presenta- tion ta Rev. and Mrs. Quigley and their daughter, Mavis. Mn. Wilfred Carruthers acted as chairman and Mrs. J. A. Gunn presided at the piano for the sing- ing o! hymns. Rev. and Mrs. Quigley and Ma- vis were called to the front and Mrs. William Porter read the ad- dress while Mn. Alan COthbertson made the presentation o! a beau- tiful wail mirror on behal! of the Junior W.A. Mrs. Kenneth Hul read the addre,çs fan the presentation o! a silver tray and teapot to the be- loved minster and wi!e by Mn. Charles Carruthers and a presen- tation by Miss Bertha Colville of a bedroom table lamp to Mavis on behalf o! the congrégation.

After, Rev. and Mrs. Quigley had expressed their appreciation for the lovely gifts and thej thoughtfulness in giving them,( a delicious lunch was served. t Other gifts tlhat have beenc given ta Rev. and Mrs. Quigleyi pnior ta their departure were a lovely quilt pregented by the North Ward Junior W.A. at a tea held at the home o! Mrs. Ros Rombough, High St., and an elec-À tric tea kettle presented to Mrs. Quigley by the Scugog St. Junior W.A. group ofi wlîich she was a member. Dthe land with dairying and mar- rket gardening the chief types of ifarming. Manufacturing in the rlarge industrial centres are smainly concerned with electrical igoods and textiles. 1 The majority of raw materials for industry bave to be imported *and in the post-war period these materials liave been very bard to get due to the dollar shortage. Holland depended largely on a large export business before the war for her national income. Most of this trade was carrîed on with 1Germany, Eastern Europe, Eng- land and the Dutch East Indies. Since the conclusion of the war approximately 90% of this busi- ness bas disappeared forcing the Dutch to look for new markets. On the rural front, each farn consists, on an average, of 4 to 5 acres with an equal number of men working the land. However, some of the dairy farms are as large as 100 acres and average one Holstein per acre. A large amount of fruit and vegetables1 are grown each year but this year the majority of the produce was A just dumped due to a lack of a1 mgrket. Turning to the political quest- ion,' they brouglit out the point that every one in Europe was afraid of Russia and Communism. Europeans feel that in another ten years the Russian armies will overrun the rest of Europe and put it behind the iron curtain. Immediately following the war about 50%,' of the population inî tbe large cities voted Communis-A tic mainly due to the discontent tbey felt with the administration. However, in the last election only 10% voteri communist. Everyone in Holland is compelled to voter and if they abstain they are heavi- ly finéd. The Dutchmen felt that the re-t covery of Germany was essentialt for the recovery of ail Europe. Rotarian Jack Eastaugb on be-8 haîf of the club thanked the two visitors for coming to the club and leading such an interesting discussion. Visitors at the club included Bart and Donald Smithson, Dunn-0 ville, Joe Gibson, Toronto, and3 Rotarians Erie Jones and Walterc Branch, Oshawa. Birthday flow-I ers went to Rotarian Dr. A.

The floon o! the lunch room had been re-decorated over the week- end by playful children using powdered Alabastine in bnlliant hues o! red and blue. Apparently the children had crawled into the Arena on Sun- day afternoon through a gap be- tween the large west door and the ground. From then untii they left, they lad a wondenful time, spreading the colorful powder al over the lunch room floor, the counter, the newly painted bencli- es and anywhere else they could think of. Boxes containing Boy Scout records and equipment were apened and the contents were thrown all oven the room. It was a mess from anyone's point o! view. Tley even spread some o! the powden aven the radio transmitter and the speakers which, for the convenience of paintens, had been placed in the centre o! the floor. The alabastine lad been purchased by the Arena Committee for coioning the hockey blue and red lines. Chie! o! Police S.

An Ail Time Record It is with considerable pride and satisfaction the publishers of The Statesman are pleased f0 an- nounce that from the records of the Audit Bureailof Circulations '1ýhe Statesmnan had the highest number o! paid-in-advance sub>cribers in July in its history of 95 years. The record shows: 3,528 SUBSCRIBERS This record circulation was secured entirelY on menit, as no high pressure sales efforts were used through personal canvassers or by offering premiums of any kind. It is interesting to note in the break- down of circulation that The Statesman goes into prac- tically every home. in Bowmanvulle, as weli as the majority of homes in the immediate rural area. The ever growing popularity of The Statesmnan we attribute fa the wide coverage of local news and advertising service it gives its subscribers week after week. The editor is therefore pleased f0 pass on the honour o! reaching this remarkable record to our loyal and faithful employees and the valuable service ren- dered by our rural correspondents.
