Bowmanvlll, ontaulo GEO. W. JAMES, Forrit AMAZING TRIBUTES TO LOCAL CITIZEN A couple of weeks ago we published a, brief tribute to Charles W. Bagneli, vet- eran C.P.R. expressman, who died follow- ing an accident at the. C.N.R. station' on Dominion Day. Little did we realize the atores of his niany kindnesses which were to reach our ears and those of bis be- reaved wife in the days which followed lis death. Apparently, Charlie was even More devoted to providing service than any of bis friends or relatives knew. We have beard of express delivenies being miade on holidays or at times which must have been most inconvenient to the ex- pressmah. One story deals with a deliv- ery of a bicycle which was delivered on a holiday and because there was no one preseint to help the elated youngster un- pack th crate and assemble the parts, Mr. Bagneli remained for a considerable per- iod of trne puttlng the bike together so' that the lad could have some pleasure out of it while school was out fCo the day. That is but one incident and there must be hundreds of others of a similar nature wbich bappened without any fanfare- indeed, without even his Wife knowing about them. There was also his garden in which no many people found beauty. One man was s0 intrigued with this- garden that, shortly after Mr. Bagnell's funeral, he came to us and suggested that a fund should be created to keep the garden in perpetuity. He was quite convinced that a sufficient number of citizens would be eager to provide funds to make it possible. Ne made the first contribution of $10 to the fund. 'Less than two days later, a second man phoned this office suggesting that something should be done by way of a memorial. He suggested that the best way might be to start a fund for a Charlie Bagneli room in the new Memorial Hos- pital and he contributed $20 to open the pro ject. .Here were tWo commendable efforts, which show better than anything elbe could, how highly this mnan was esteemed In this community. The first, concerning thé garden, is, we think, a complicated procedure which might make any future property transaction very difficult. The sqýcond, the hospital room, which would cost approximately $1,000 would be a won- derful way of paying tribute to a respect- eci citizen. The Statesman will be honored to lend its support to furtbering this pro- jeçt and its offices will accept any con- tributions which citizens would care to rnake. ITIME TO DISCUSS CIVIL DEFENCE ? With the war in Korea going ahead Int reverse, many municipalities are pre- paring themselves for civil defence, ju-it int case events develop unfavorably. Pof t Hppe, which because of the Eldorado Re- fiping Plant, is in a more precarious pos- ition than BoW'manville, bas already ap- pointed its committee to study civil de- fe nce and make preliminary preparations. Cobourg discussed the subject at its coun- cil meeting but bas taken no action.. Other cities and towns are either preparing their orqanizations or thinking seriously of do- 50g s. We wonder what we should do in, Bowmanville. At the moment, there is no real rea- no nfor panic in any form. The situation from a Canadian viewpoint is probably no, more dangerous than it was a few wéeks ago. But, at least one citizen and probably many more believethat some preparatory action should be taken so that we would be ready for any eventual- ityý This could be done by formation of a çmmittee wbieh would be auithorizedi -0 ti4u S. Xt theè momeè_nt, t he-p rod àuêt t heèy bake to sell is certainly flot wanted by -th*. public. Let us for a moment analyze thê situation. There have been so many bsluggings and robberies by un- =eh)= 0£oL 4E this profession that the publie is afraid totke chnceandpick up any strang- ers. Secondly, many of these curb cruisers are so unappreciative of any rides they do receive that at the end of. the ride, they hop out without a wordof thanks. Others, wben passed by a motorist, break into uný- printable epithets which the car driver can lip-read witbout difficulty. If tbis group is not to become extinct our suggestion is that they get together quickly and produce a set of by-laws, complete' with penalties and a member- ship fee. Duly paid up members couid then wear distinguishing apparel and migbt have distinctive cards of large size and issued in new colors annually which would read:- "THUMUERS ASSOCIA- TION, BRANCH 632, OSHAWA." Other- wise, we fear they are deomed. . NOTHING TO BLOW ABOUT Every now and then, someone whom we suspiect is unhappily married, 'raises quite a commotion about the indiscreet' horn blowing and speeding undertaken by wedding parties. ný many cities, police bave been instructed to stop sucb racket and if it persists, to arrest the offenders. There is one town in United States that bas produced a courtesy card which is distributed to motorists attending wed- dings. They are reminded that horn- honk'ing and other forms of post-weçlding nolsè-making in the streets is against the- law. The card aiso suggests that the police department of the town wants the party to bave a wonderful time but asks that they forego breaking the noise-breaking ordinance. It is reported that the systemn is meeting with splendid co-operation. In Bowmanville, most of our wedding parties have a good time without disturb- ing the decorum of the citizens to any great extent.- In fact, about the oniy" damage we have seen is the loss of time suffered by many of the front stréet em- ployers and their staffs who run ta the front doors to see who is about to be car- ried over the threshold and who is going to pay the bills. There have been cases of foolish and dangerous speeding when guests make a mad dash to catch the wedding car. But, ahl in ail, we doubt if the people of Bowmanville would like to sec the law step in with too harsh mea- sures. After all, getting married is quite an event for the people concerned and they should be entitled ta a bit of fun after ail the trouble they have had in pre- paring for the occasion. THE ALCOHOL PROBLEM We shane the "deep concenn" express- ed by the Synod of the Anglican 'diocese of Toronto "at the rapid increase in most Provinces of the consumption of bath malt liquors and spirits," but we incline ta regret that it refused ta accept the very sensible recommendations of its own soc- ial service council fan dealing with that situation. SIt is a situation whose causes go mnuch deeper than the changes in the licensing system - and much deeper than anything that could be remedied by any future changes in that system. They include the immense and veny sudden increase in thýe incomes (not cash only but purchasing power) of the vast majanity of Canadians, the break-down of parental authonity, the increased freedom of women (who wene almost ail non-drinkens befone 1925). the ease of transportation (enabling people tô get away fnom the retraints imposed 'by the presence of those who know them), and probably evexi the great increase of leisure resulting from the shontening of working hours. The proportion of iuxuny expenditume in our total national outgo bas been rising steadily, and at times rapidly, for 50 yeans. It seems useless ta expect that this luxuny expenditure will not include a very sub- stantial amaunt of alcohol, and the social service council veny sensibly took the view that this is an evil in itself only wben it takes the form of excess, ieading to lack of contrai over behavioun, or when the drinker is too young on is in ch arge of a powerful piece of machinery like an automobile. Unfortunately the figures of the in- crease in Ontario - population up one- fîfth, malt bevenages multiplied by four, spirits multiplied by 31/ - are fan too great ta allow us ta conclude that the in- crease is only in "legitimate" dninking. There must be also fan too great an in- crease in drunkenness, dninkingy by minons and dinking by motorists. This is not a situation that can be remedied by the compulsion of pz4,hibition (which in the present state of prosperity could neyer be enforced and would lead ta disasters worse than those of the 'twenties), or by teach- ing that eveny act of consum-ption of an alcoholic beverage is a sin. It needs the restoration of that sense of moral respan- sibility which used ta ho inculcated not only in church and school but also in almost every Canadian home. The con- ditions of the age do not make this easy. -Satunday Night. EDITORIAL NOTES Niagara Falls,- is ta hsýve Canadian silver dollars on hand for souvenirs for tourists.

WHOM SH4.LL WE SERVE? By Joseph Lister Rutledge We don't need Red Deans or others o! their kind ta fýemind us that the Christian Chumch, as a whole, is uncertain whether and how ta adjust itself ta the think- ing o! the social order under which it lives. Some o! the Church's ministers have asumed that promises of individual bene- fits offered by other systems are more vital ta the "good life" than is the maintenance o! individual freedom Some close their eyes ta the practical communism they soe and assume that the conno- tations of a word are more sig- nificant than the practices o! that word, made fiosh. It is difficult for a layman ta understand why those who ho- lieve in the power of a spirit ta change and remake lives should assume that it is necessary ta change men's lives as a prelude ta, changing the spirit. There were grave social wrongs in the days of St. Paul and the disciples. There was slavery. There were sharp inoqualities, even in their own ranks. There was despotism ail about them. Yet one looks in vain in any bf their writings for the plan of a changed economy or a romodelled society. The om- phasis is always on the rosponsi- bility of the individual ta do justly and ta love mercy and to walk humbly, not as an imposed regimen but as the leading of the spirit within. The conviction, tlbat seemingly wo have lost or overlooked, was thore. The chang-- ed heart will automatically bring the thînking of the world into ac- cord with the thinking of the spir- it. There bas been ample evîdence o! the tmuth o! this belief in the changing ways of capitalism over the past century. It is more bu- mane today than was the church af a Century ago. And this leads one ta ask what changes there have been in the thinking of com- munism since Marx and Engels gathemed in thoir dîngy London garrot ta gormulate ifs manifes- ta. Has it become more gZenemous? Has it done mare for the fmeo- damn and welfare of the individ-1 ual? Has it added ta the dignityz Business Direcfory LEGAL W. R. STRIKE, K.C.

Only those intentionally bemused will see any hint that in aimost a hundred years it has shown any love for God, or for His suffering children. Communism Is dogmatically atheistic. Its minions have no other option than ta relinquish the . faculty o! individu ai moral judgment and become active or passive accomplices in a«cts of cruelty, oppression and deceit. Communism and ail the creeds that follow its pmecepts in lesser degrees deny the individual his sense of responsibillty and. with it, bis hur-ian dignity. Capitalism rests firn'tly on a basis of liberty- the right o! the individual ta make the most o! bimself, and to be a free agent in bis commmun- ity. Only under capitalism is the church free, free ta, take the steps necessary ta change or modify any system, through -tbe spiritual awakening of that system's agents. Whom thon shaîl we serve?

DINNER STORY Fond mother (ta sitter): "Did you have any trouble with Junior? He's usually as good as goid." BSitter: "Well. about an boum ago ho yent' off the gold stand- ard." TRIVIAL CONCERNS (Ottawa Journal) Somehow we find a spot of cheerfulness in the report whicn comes frorn Munich that an ex-ý hausted German after 125 hours at the piano in a Munich bar (playing 23 hours a day continu- ously) lays proud dlaim to a world titie on that account. Taking this in conjuniction with the story about an American sergeant who wanted to kno' how many para- chute jumps he could make from an aimplane in a day (he quit at 123 jumps) we find we can read the news fromn Korea with more equanimity. 1 The piano-player and the para- chute-jumper show, as we see it, that despite the gravity of the times the world stili possesses a desimable degree of levity and a spinkling o! amiable lunatics. The Channel swimmers are on their way, and we see that a boy of four is to mako the attempt. It seems to us a hopeful sign that in this time of tension and strife ail thesq queer people should be emergrng frorn wherev- or they spend their winters to do their silly summer stunts. It in- dicates a healthy concern with the trivial that we should be asked ta interest ourselves in marathon dancers and inexhaus- tible Piccolo-players, and they show us that we have corne a long way back to a normal way of life.- There can be nothing in this world more utterly useless than, for example, a flag-pole sitter, but ho and his tribe are part of our summer reading and link us with times when we didn't have ta think about Korea and the Kremlin.1 SINGLE COMBAT (Edmonton Journa?) We are no friend ta the mos- quitos, but we can't help feel- ing a certain satisfaction at the failure of a seheme ta trap them by moans of faked mating cails. In New Jersey, the anti-mos- quito forces rigged up electric traps, with loudspoakers buzzing out what was fondly thought ta ho the mosquito love sang; it was haped that the insects would thus be lumed ta death on electrified screens. But the "skeeters" have failed ta respand ta the invitation. They are evidentT!Y harder ta fool than was thought. This ought ta discourage a most unromantie and unsportsman- like fomm of hunting. That mas- quitas should be brought ta their doam through a treacherous ap- peal ta their softer feelings is sad enough, but it is downright tra- gic ta 50e the same methods used on larger game. Such tactics are downright un- ethical. They are on a par with fishing with depth charges, or us ina an anti-aircraft gun ta shoot down a flock of ducks- as an. Irish battery was accused o! doing. during the war. The fact that this kind of hunt-' ing is tolerated is- a sign of the decay of sport. It seems ta be forgotten that just as the anly warthy and traditional way ta bag a moose is ta tracký it, sa the only proper and manly way of des- patching a masquita is in single combat with a olled-up news- paper. "I'se wants a ticket for Flam- once". Ticket Agent after ton min- utes a! weary thumbing over rail- road guides): "Where is Flor- ence?" Mammy: "Settin' over dere on de bench".-The Financial Post. TESTS FOR DRIVERS (Vancouver Sun) Almoat ail motorists agree that scientific tests for drunken driv- ing should be applied-to the other fellow. They admit that the other fel- low's judgment is qmpaired by liquor and hîs reaction time is too slow for emergency manoeuvres. But flot their own. Some o! them even insist they drive better when they've "1had a few." Maybe that's ,why our legisiat- ors have been .slow ta write into our driving code a provision for testing the breath, blood or ur- ine of suspected inebriates. After ail, most legisiators are drivers and most of them take a drink on occasion. Yet the fact is that about one- third of drivers involved in in- jury accidents are under the in-ý fluence. Easily two-thirds of the I cuiprits get away wtth it because the law doesn't equip the police to prove the offence. Traffic safety studias show that about one in every five driv- ers involved in accidents of al types has been drinking. HE LOAFED AND LOST There are some fellows who just cannot win. If they put themselves out to be friendly, they are accused of being pushers, climbers, or some- tirnes something even worse. If they remain in the back- ground, speak only when spoken to, they are labelled as unfriendly guys or just plain dumb. Take the case of Charlie Elson,. who has become known as the, "kindhearted baker" of Detroit. Seven years ago he was taken f0 court because it was alleged his loaves were underweight. Profiting by the warning. Charlie since then has been putting in a little more dough in each loaf so as to be sure o! staying clear of the law. Now he's in trouble again- charged with baking loaves about four ounces overweight. In spite of the fact that he bas refrained from advertising his generosity. his action bas been called unfair competition. It seems as though Charlie is losine on both the roundaibouts and the swings. SCREAMS THAT WILL ENDURE- (Ottawa Citizen) The use o! cement-coated nails is being discussed in Australia as a means o! preventing thef t. When a case fastened together by these nails is pried onen, a shril scream that can be heard 25 yards awray is caused. The idea is promising, yet a strang case can be made for other. better -ways of wamning the authomities that footpads are abroad. There are fr-w offensive weapons against which a defence cannot be devis- ed by ingeniaus minds. Bcream- ing nails should ho easily neutral- ized. Thievos might, for example. discover a lubricating material that would silence the nails. Or, if certain types of modemn ce- rnent were used, and the cases exposed ta the weather for any length o! time, the materials would disintegrate and the nails become inarticulate. Befome the Australians make a final decision, they wauld prob- ably be wise to seek the advice af builders. Many builders can in- stal hinges that nover lose their scroam. Cunningly fashioned, they resist al ails, and the inroads of weatber only improve their agonized outcries. Builders could probably toach Australian pack- ors more about doors that screami when Piied open than could any other group of experts. It may be that no modern builders can at present find hinges whose screams are heard farther than 25 yards away. though many try. But qiv- en sufficient encouragement and time for research, they might even be able to extend this distance, in addition to creating screams that will endure. PERFECT ORDER A good many people are afraid of doing anything out of the reg- ular Unes .. of doing anything out of order. Now, you will'find perfect order in a cemnetery. You will find perfect order where there is death. Wh~ere there ia life you will find somethinjz out of order. What we don't understand about self-made men is why they usu. ally make themselves so plain. APPLIED WIT14 TOOTFF PICK RESTORCS FURNITURS MARRC WITIf WHITE CIRCLES .THEN POJ..S14. Glen Rae's Milk ...
