On the editorlal page et the sane paper unden the caption "A Little of Everything'" the following appearod: "Bow- manville's Intormediate bal team wil ho known this yean as the "Brokdale Roses". With a name like that. the teain should be a bloomlng success -wlth a high per-scentage". Other papers have aise been attractod by this unusual naine and their comments pro- vide considerable publicity for the teain and the town. The unifonins were punch- ased through Mason & Dale Hardware, Bowmanvllle. Bowmanville's New Assessor Has Interesting Career Except for aven three years in the Canadian Army, Bownan- viile's ncw Assessor, Clarence Oke, bas iived in this town. Ho was born home, and capably rear- ed by bis parents, Mr. and Mrs. Waltor Oke. Bath bis parents are of English ancostry. After spending saine tino at the Bowmanvihle Higb School Clarence took a business course and began bis working lifo at the Evelyn Shop, which usod ta ho situated where Ted Woodyard's store la now bocated. Froin thene ho went ta the Gc'od- yesr Tire & Ruhber Company, leaving for a tino ta serve in the Army, and retunning aften the wam. Aftermnuch persuasion ho went aven ta Carter's Caffee Shop ta work for bis fathem-in-law. Ciarence's wife is the former Dorothy Carter. Clarence bas been married ton yeams, and bas two boys and a girl, Donald 8, Stephen 3, and Mary 1. Ho served duning the war in the Army Signais Corps as a Wiro- less Openator in Itaiy. during the trek up through the Rbone Valley in France, in Beliun, Holland and Germany.

Enthusiastic singing accompanied bath services, tbe first held at 9 a.m. in Central, and the second at 10 a.m. in Ontario St. School. Musical Director Gordon Harle directed the singing at both places, accompanying the groups at the piano when necessary. Approx- imately five hundred students participated at Central, and 250 at Ontario St. school. The ]ongest and most elaborate programme was prepared by the teachers and classes at the On- tario St. School. The Kindergart- en tots, carrying paper Union Jacks breast hîgh before them. sang patriotic songs and marched before the audience. Recitations on the beauty and privileges of Canada were clearly and compet- ently delivered by members of the higher grades. Principal Thompson explained ta the children the meaning of "Empire", describing it as a gzreat many unified nations. He said that although the present Empire is not the greatest in size in bis- tory, it is the greatest in import- ance. We should realize that it is made up, not only of those of Brit- ish ancestry. but also of those who have recently îmmigrated from different parts of Europe and who have been glad to accept Can- adian citizenship. The importance of singing in promoting patriotism among the young folk was amply demonstrat- ed by the vigor with which the children sangy "Rule Britannia", "O Canada", "Land of Hope and Glory" and athers. The children were attentive ta the speakers, but the greatest patriotic influ- ence seemed ta be exerted on thema through the singing. On the bulletin boards and in the front halls the fiagf of the members of the British Common- wealth were arranged in a pat- tern. In the center was the Union Jack, and below a shield with the stripes of the Imperial Flag. The fiags of South Africa, New Zea- land and Australia adorned the sides in company with the Can- adian Red Ensign.

When the girls said yes a sinaîl boy pushed bis way in and said: "inm Gamtb Taylor. I have a dan- delion with three heads and a big stemn". Sure enough, ho clutcbed in bis right hand a badhy nangied three-headed dandelion, with a stem the diameter o! a dîme. '*Wili this dandehion go in the Star or the Tebegran?" ho asked. A girl answened, "Neithen. It will be reported in this paper". "What paper is this?" ho asked. "~The Statesman", came the ne- ply. "Do they seil it downtown?" ho queried. "~Of course", repliod the girl. "Thon ll buy it when tboy put my dandelion stary in", ho stated final. With that ho yieided possession o! the freakish growth and ieft the office ahb siies. Mrs. A. D.

Don's addness was preceded by four short rhetorical talks deiivered by the fou? fin- alists in the Boys' Training Scbool Oratorical Contest. The finst of the youths, Harold White, was the winner of the cup. Don Shay stanted bis addness by asking the question, "What is the definition of the word necreation?" A definition is necessary before the supporters of a programme can have a deéan idea of what they are supporting. He supplied bis own answer by describing recrea- tion as "Leisure tîme activity, the antithesis of wonk". Confenence Tremendous "I didn't know whiat a tremen- dous thing this recreational pro- gramme was until 1 attended the Toronto Confenence held at Vic- toria College aven the weekend", he said. There were 275 delegates fnom all aven Ontario, and flot ail of these, by any means, vrere necreational directons. "Had I known eanlier that the conference wvas open, ta the layman I would have publicized it througbout the town", he said.

The Bow- Manville Corps will bo used tom- porarily as an emergency centre, and when suffîcient quantities of the material have been collected they will be forwarded directly ta Winnipeg. Ladies Receive Roses at Opening Basebail Gamne The Brookdale Roses made a symbolic gesture at the start of the apening gaine at the Higb School grounds yesterday when tbey presented ta aill the ladies present a beautîful red rase.

As if this weren't enough, whenever he called a meeting of the tennis or softball or lawn bowling clubs lie would be the only man in attendance. AI- ter talking the matter over with the members of the community he found that if he senved stimu-.. lating beverages he would get fullk~ co-operation. "I hope this doesil't have ta be the means of gaining co-operation in Bowman- ville", said Don Shay. Ideal Dlroctor The magazine printed for recro- ational dinectors, the Community Courier, lists tbe attributes of the ideal recreational director. He must be the finder of mediuins of recreating the people of the coin- munity. Ho must be the filler af gaps, the develaper and trainer of leaders, the organizor o! the general recreation picturo. the stimulator of the various indi- vidual leaders, and the enabler- the man who assists the commun- ity ta grow in recreational stature. He must be the administrator of the programme; the public.re- lations man. But he should flot try ta run a one man show. Ho should not bo the enrand boy, the Joe boy, a quitter, the fali guy for the mis- takes of the Community Council. Needs Heli The Recreation Director cannat demand help froin the people. Ho must ask for volunteers. And in order that the programme might continue there must be plonty of willing workers. We can liken the problem of gettîng the recreation programme going ta the attempt to push a huge wbeelbarrow. Wheni it is large it needs more than one mani to push it. The Dinector can guide it but he can't push it alone. Before the barrow will movo it must be oiled, and the kind of ail which makes almost anything go is money. Theno will be many bumipe along the way, but these will on'IU serve ta keep the pushers short. "I knew wben I took over this job that I bad a big task before me', fsaid Don. VI1 noally wgnt. to put récreatiort acnoss in Bowmai. ville, and if you'11 volunteer your services ta belp me push the bar* now we'Il push it".

Sunburn Weathen The local park was liherally sprinkiod with basobabi fans and sun worshippers, who hought pop and peanuts brain the Kinsmen purveors, and waited for nîne innings for a chance ta cheer.
