7WURSDAYNOV. le, nSu THE CANADIAN STATESUM, EOWMANVILLE, ONTAMO PAGETWO~~ Municipal Nominations Next Week Most rnunicipalities throughout this district will hold their municipal nomina- tions next Friday, November 27th. If they are anything like they have been in the past, most citizens will fail ta attend, pre- ferring ta read about them in the papers the following week-if that. A few public- spirited citizens will turn out to hear the =ien who will look after their affairs for the coming year-and in most cases, where there are vacancies, there will be a mad scramble to find men who will accept the off ices. After the election, those who did not attend will spend the rest of the year grousing about the men who were elected, the taxes they have ta pay and the services which should or should not have been pro- vided. There are many exceptionally able ,men and wamen in this district with huge financial stakes in the cammunity. There are many people, too, with plenty of spare time, part of which they cauld use for one or two years or more, to help provide goad local gavernment either in the town on council, the schoal board or one of the rnany offices ta be f illed in the townships. The jobs are there waiting for capable people to f jîl them. The work requires Intelligent, reliable citizens ta make certain it will be well done. If yau are interested in taking part in your municipality's affairs, came out next week and let your name stand for nomination. If yau dan't feel you can take an active part, the least you can do is ta be present ta hear and see the men who have represented you in the past and those who will be representîng you in the future. > The Fun's Gone From Speedling In the gaod aid days, there was a certain amaunt of enjoyment in being alert enough ta spot a speed cap sneaking Up behind yau in time ta cut down yaur upeed before he came close enough ta check you. There was even a thrill in being caught exceeding the limit. Many will remember the first scream af the siren as the police pulled alongside on a mator- cycle and you were tald ta "Pull aver ta the curb, Bub". Some of the openîng remarks of that day were priceiess and many superb cartoons have been drawn about such scenes. Well do we remember being asked if we thaught we were Barney Oldfield. We considered it a great compli- ment. There were different schools of thought on how best ta react so you wauldn't get a ticket. For the ladies, especially yaung, good-laaking ones, the problern was one of exuding bounteous charm. For maies, it was tougher, but many warked hard perfecting their system of treating the officer with great respect in an attempt ta establish a quick friend- ship. But, there is no use maaning about those good old days. They are gone like the 4-90 Chevs. and the three-pedal Fards. Now, what happens ta you if you exceed the limit? You drive over a couple of pieces of wire and just as you pass over the more distant one you notice a police car at the side of the road with a grinning constable sitting there writing down your number. They've got you and there is nothing you can do but wait for the ticket to arrive through the mail. And there is na point arguing because the electronic contraptions of the devil are fool-proof and a magistrate wiil uphold the police on everv case. Now, they've even established a standard price of one dollar a mile for evcrv mile over the limit, plus two bucks for book-keeping or something. Just send the money in and go slower next time or they'll do it ahl over again. It will probably save hundreds of lives, but it sure is cold-blooded. Must be a bit duil even for the police. They won't meet nearly as many nice people. start on your shopping if yau haven't alreacly dane no. We urge you, toa, ta think of your local retailers when you are doing that shopping. Right naw, they have a huge selection of attractive articles, reasonably priced, and their clerks are eager ta be of service and assistance ta you. Bef are you go somewhere else ta do that buying, visit your local stores. They are here ta, provîde what you want. If, after that visit, you aren't satisfied, then go ta, the city or the catalogues. But, give your own merchants a chance, f irst, please. They depend upan you and the tawn and you need them. .~ -~ ~61 ataibih.d 1854 With whlch 1si9 epra. M»i lewmanili.Nowa, Th:n N.wcati.

JAMES, EnrroOE centurv, it's no wonder we refuse ta get excited just because aur government feels it is necessary ta build a detection unit ta spot flying saucers which might appear from another pianet.

Gladly Sharing Your Talents 1Ta warship is ta share, and ta share is ta give. But "the gift without the giver ia bare"; hence ta give in turn implies mare than just making a money contri- bution or being present in church on Sun- day. Ta give, to share, ta worship means ta sacrifice something. And aur joy derived from worship will be in propor- tion ta the sacrifice we make in giving and sharirig of aur time and means. Is it enough that thase of us endawed with good voices and talent ta sing sit back and be entertained by chair and minîster? Is it enough ta make a small contribution-one that represents possibly less than one per cent of aur earnings (the Gavt. gets ten) and relax in the thaught that we have done aur share? Is this small contribution enaugh ta give us the right ta criticize choir and minister (corne, we do criticize them rather freely at that since we pay for their services)? Addison said no one has a right ta criticize any- body unless he is prepared ta do better. And if we think we can do better (or well, perhaps not sa very much better after ahl) why don't we da it? Why sit back and carp? Or is this attitude just a face-saving gesture, a bold front ta caver up the dale- fuI fact that due ta previaus engagements -the Lions Club an Monday, the bowling' alley on Tuesday, the bridge club on Wed- nesday, the theatre on Thursday and the cottage on the weekend-we just haven't the time? Such considerations as these might well fill aur thoughts as we approach the Christmas season. Deer With ai Red Hat? The woods are full, or so it seems, of lunatics armed with sparting guns, papp- ing off bullets when a leaf moves or the wind sighs thraugh the branches. One of aur local hunters returned safely ta tell us of twa hunters he met an the way out of the bush. Cardîally, he asked how they had made out and was puzzled ta hear them reply that they anly had a couple of "sound shots". Question- ing further, he found that a "sound shot" was just what it saîd. When they heard a sound they thaught was a deer, they took a shat at it. Ana ther fantastîc hunting stary, which was offered in one newspaper as a fact, went as follows: A hunter was in the woods dressing a deer he had killed when someone began shooting at him. He looked up and could see anather hunter busily firing shot after shat in bis direction. The human target shouted and waved bis arms, but the bullets kept coming-seven shots in al before he grabbed up his gun and began firing in the air. The ather hunter, at last realizing his mistake, came forward and said sheepîshly, "I thought yau were a deer". Did you ever see a deer wearing a red cap?" asked the irate chap who had been the target. Certainly, a man sa reckless with his rifle neyer agaîn should be aliowed ta have a hunting license. But, under aur present easy-gaing systemn, there is no way (until the deer turns out ta be a man) of sorting aut the trigger-happy hunters and keeping them well behind the firing lune. Perhaps each province should open a class of instruction for applicants for hunting licenses, with attendance com- pulsory and a test required before the license is granted. For its duration, the hunting season must rival the highways in casualties-and with fia better excuse. Does Nothing Startie Us Nowadays? Nevwspapers throughout Canada feat- ured a remarkabie story iast week that told of the establishment of a radar station for the detection of "fiying saucers". Even Geo. E. Chasse pality or fence vicwer, knows full wcll bow anc is exposed ta bbc wbims, fancy, criticism or praise of a demanding public whose buman cbaracteristics seeni ta leck appreciatian of services rendered. A persan in pivate business, by comparisan, lives in claver, so ta speak. The writer of this tribute hav- ing lived in Bowmanville ahl these ycars knows whereof he speaks having occupied public offices et variaus times, as well as being in private business of a semi-public nature ta the com- munity, for neigh on ta haîf a century. During these years we have been closely assocîated in many capacities with Mr. Chase, in which we have agrecd and disagreed with him in many local projects under considera- tion. However, we ahways found him a fair apponent, as wehl as a loyal supporter. Through such experiences and associations a fricndsbip has bcen created that is a prized possession in mcm- ory's storebouse as wc approach tbc modern era of Old Age Pen- sion, In reviewing Mr. Chase's e- reer since he carne ta Bowman- ville in 1917 there are two Istories ta tell. Ont' is bis inti- mate association witb his posi- tion as manager of what was first known as "The Hydro Shop", whicbh ater grew ta tbe Publie Utiities Commission and now embraces bydro, wa- terworks and sewerage. This in itself is a marvelous story af the develapment and achievement of hydro power and it.s many uses in modern life, bath indus- trialhy and domestic. This is go- ing ta require considerable re- search, but it will be worth the time and effort in order that the' present generation may better understand and appre- ciate what they awe ta bydro power, which is 100 often just taken for grantcd-until the power is suddeniy shut off and then wc realize the many ways we are dependent on thc so- called invisible electric juice. We will therefore write that important part of the story et a later date and confine aur comments in Ibis issue ta the many willing services Mr. Chase contributed ta bis newly adopted community outside of the details connected with bis immediate position as Hydra Manager. It wasn't very long after George arrivcd in town frani hie native bamiet of Brighton that it was found he was musical. At that time Bowmanvillc bad a thriving Citizen's Band and he joined the band being e wclcame asset as he cou id play tbc tram- bone. euphonium and bass hamn. Ncxt musical circies beceme aware of bis vocal abilities and he became a member and bari- totie waoWin & S. PauLs CâoÈ We cannot let the resignation of Geo. E. Chase as manager for 37 years, of the' Bowmanville Public Utility Commission pass without giving public utterance ta a well deserved tribute. In making this goodwill gesture we feel citizens generally wil join with us in any expressions of appreciabion that are mnade on this occasion. In the first place 37 years es- tablishes an al-ture record of public service for this commun- ity. That covers e span of well aver three generations. Anyane who bas been clected or appoint- cd ta any public office or posi- tion. be it mayor of the munici- whicb association lie reteined for aver 25 years. Nearly every year during the wintcr season some organization or society would put an a musi- cal enterteinnient of same kind such as an aperetta, cantate or musical camedy. Mr. Cbase would invariably take e leeding part whetber it required tenor, baribane or bass soloist. Sanie of the performances we recal were Pinefore, Mikado, Qucen Esther, Trial By Jury and The Blue Bird, just ta name a few. In more -recent yeers George conducted the Rotary Club Choir and wes alea a member of tbc Rotary Octette. He was a charter member of the Rotary Club, the first ser- vice club to be organized in Bowrnanville and was tbe 3rd President of the Club. For twelve yeers fromn 1924 ta 1936 be was the indefabigable mana- ger of the annuael Ratary Cerni- vals. In fraternel circles he ie a Past Noble Grand of Brighton Lodge, I.O.O.F., and a member of United Lodge, A.F. &A.M. No. 29, Brighton. He us elso a Peet Excellent Master of Pales- tine Chapter at Bowmanvîlle. lie bas been bonored and served in variaus capecities in electrical associations. He ie a member af the Professional En- gineers Association of Ontario; a member cf the Engifteers Club of Toronto; e member of the Ex- ecutive of the Red Seal Asso- ciation (for better wiring as its objective). He is a past presi- dent of the Association of Muni- cipal Electrical Utilities and wes aiea a member of the Execubive in the marne association for 15 years. Thet cavers feirly well the "outside" activities in whicb Mr. Chaise contributed no smell part ta the succeessof tbc ver- ious arganizetions mentioned. But this is only part of the stary as intimeted ini the begin- ning of this article. In e future issue we will caver the stary of the 37 years of tremendous pro- gress and growth of hydro in Bawmanville end district during Mr. Cbese's tenure of office as manager of the local hydro sys- teni.
