Veny satisfactory reports- were ""The Tiaclor Nainlenace Club" New Junior Farmers' Club Deing Formed in Durham Cony Agricultural .Representative Ed Summers is working bard these days to reorganize the Junior Farmers' Clubs which as a matter of course disbanded after the Achievement Days iast Fali. This year he is initiating a brand new club which will go by the titie, "The IYactor Maintenance Club." The latter has met with excep- tional success in other areas, and Mr. Summers thinks it wiil be a real benefit ta young Durham County farmers. The circulars start out with the foliowing paragrapb: "Dear Junior, we are planning to organ- ize several Boys' and Girls' Clubs in the County again this year and we trust there wiil be boys and girls from every Township take part. One of the main objects of the Clubs is to develop an ap- preciation of good livestock; to demonstrate the value of certif ied seed potatoes, registered seed grain, inter.est in reforestation and maintenance of the tractor." "Every Club member who completes bis or her project by exhibiting his caîf, swine, pota- toes or grain at the Achievement Day will receive a cash prize. Two members from each Club xiii also be chosen to represent the County in an Inter-County Competition at Guelph this faîl. When we mention the County we include South Monaghan." Farm boys and girls between the ages of 12 and 20, and who have not reached their 2lst birtb- day at the fime of entry are eligible for ail Clubs. Girls are cordially invited ta join any Club or Clubs in which they migbt be interested. A member may join several Clubs in one year. Application forms for joining the Caif Clubs, Swine Clubs, Grain Clubs, Junior Potato Club, Tractor Maintenance Club, and Reforestation Club must be filled ln and sent in to A. E. Summers, Bowmanville, befare Saturday, April 22. Since the Tractor Maintenance Club is new, it might be of inter- est to the young farmer ta know what the punopse it. The abjects are: (1) ta demonstrate methods wbereby the mast economical op- eration of farm trac tors may be obtained; (2) ta obtain know- ledge on the part of the Club member of the actual aperatian costs for the tractar; (3) ta focus attention on safety measures in the operatian of farm tractons; and (4) ta demonstrate field maintenance and simple adjust- ments of tractors. Nemorial Arena Commiltee Presenis Financial Sitement Io Town Council Debis Paid Excepting Council Loan "It is the feeling of the Coun- cil," stated Mayor L. C. Mason at the April meeting of the Town Council on Monday, "that the in- stallation of atificial ice in the Memonial Arena would be a wise mave. Without. promising any- thing, the Council will lend a sympathetic ear ta suggestions. it is haped that the question of the installation 0f artificiai ice will be bnought before the Cjn cil as soon as passible." These comments were made by the Mayor affer J. Cliff Samis, Sec'y-Treas. of the Rink Cam- mittee, bad delivered bis financial repart on the Memonial Arena for the seasan of 1949 - 50. Fifteen public-spirifed citizens beard Mn. Samis declare that the Arena hàd experienced a disappointing win- fer. Ail outstanding debts, except those owed the Town, have been paid. Total receipfs for the sea- son amaunfed fa $21,056.68, and total expenditures were $19,366.63. The bank balance on Apnil 1 was $1,690. This will be swelied by appnoximately $150- $200 when the receipts from the snack bar for March are finally tabuiated. Whea it is cansidered that of the $19,366.63 in expenses, $12104.51 wene spent in complet- ing the Arena, it will be reaiized that in future years the expense sheet should show a considerable drap. Mn. Samis made a plea for the continuance of the present level of Arena insurance. The total cast of insurance, including fine and public liability, is $1,089 per an- num. This is a smali cost, em- phasized Mn. Samis, when it is considened that should a fine stant in the Arena there would be only one chance in ten that it would be detected before it had got out of contral. There is a great fine nisk, even though the spectatons are warncd every game several fimes a game that they shauldn'f smoke ia the Arena, and evea though a careful (Continued on Page Six) New Constable Provincial Force Assumes Duties Here Norm DeBow, recent addition ta the Bowmanvîlle Unit of the Ontario Provincial Police, bas drivea transports for aimost one million miles without an accident.

Kash Keeps Koming For Kinsmen Kar Althougb the sale of tickets for the purchase of the Kin car bas been under way for only two weeks the supply is nearly ex- hausted. The people of Bow- manville have been quick ta snap at a ticket wbich bas onechance in 3000 0f being the lucky one. By last Fniday there were only 700 tickets left to go inta cir- culation, and most of those in the the bands of the sellers were gone. Althougb the purchasers natur- ally have in mind the hope that they will perchance hald the ticket whîch will entitie tbem ta buy the beautiful Kmn Studebaker for $1.00, they are aware of the fact that their dollars will be used ta furnish a raom in the new Bowmanville Memoriai Hospital. Since this is the first public service venture attempted by the local Kinsmen it might be brought ',tor the attention of the people that when tbey buy tickets on the car they are flot only con- tnibuting ta a bospîtal roam, but they are also belping. to launch a club which will give cantinued service ta the cammunity.
