PAGE ~ffo S -----.-- ---- - - rn~7ImD, ir ~ Chamber of Commerce on the Job Without a great deal of fanfare or ballyhoo, Bowmanville's most recently formed Chamber cf Commerce is putting itself on solid ground which should pro- duce good results for this cammunity in years ta came. Though there will always b. a short- age cf active workers, the various com- mnittees have done a commendable job ta date and are to be complimented. This faîl and winter should see more progress once the new manager has been appointed and begins his tenure of office. Most citizens will agree that much remains ta be don. in Bowmanville, bath Last of thE This Friday evening, the Lions Club here will hold the final big carnival of the season. At latest reports, they have been abl. ta, persuade Miss Shirley Camp- bell, the magnificent swimmer from Fer- gus ta be the guest of honor. It should be a wonderful evening for those who attend. The actual holding of a Carnival is not the most important part af a Lions, Kinsmen, Rotary or Legion program. Il is but the vehîcle for raising funds ta carry out a vast program of either building a structure such as the Legion, Hall, instal- ling artificial ice or' carrying on other work for the betterment of th. commun- ity. If a large amaount of funds can b. raised at a carnival, the.'club is able ta do that much mare good work durîng the year ta follow. Through their Carnivals, the Lions Club were able ta purchase what is naw te improve business conditions by attract- ing more buyers and in general improve- ment cf the town. We have lagged far behind in obtaining new industry, but the Chamber of Commerce executive has the utmost confidence that this tewn wilI continue ta grow and prosper and Ihat sooner or later additional industry will came te aur fair municipality. In the meantime, the Chamber is do- ing an excellent job of establishing ilseif on a sound foundalion which will not crumble, but rather, continue ta expand. We, and the majority of this cammunity's citizens will wish them every success. Carnivals awidely used and appreciated Commun- ity Centre. They were able ta build an extension which gave the Boy Scouts and Cubs and many other arganizatians a place ta meet. Their playgrounds and centre on Beech Avenue has become a valuable asset ta adult and child lif. in Bowman- ville. In ail of these clubs sponsoring carn- ivals, there are many public-spirited individuals willing and eager ta give up a great deal of Iheir all-too-ittle time ta make Ihese events a success. There is a Iremendous amounit of preparalary mwork involved in a carnival, plus considerable financial risk. W. can only urge, once again, every citizen ta give all the support passible sa the Lions Club may plan for another year of worthwhile cammunity betterment.

Fortunately, Bowmanville has flot experienced similar tragedy this year, ta date, an d we hape our luck will continue. With less than three weeks remaining of the general holiday periad, this might be a good time to once again urge caution on citizens, swimmers and boaters. Most drowning accidents are the resuit of over confidence or carelessness and can easilv b. avoided. Young begînners should be watched and not allowed ta go beyond their depth. They should neyer swim alone, nor indeed should those with more skill and exper- ience. Cramps cari rnake the more expert swimrner helpless in the water.

"Little Brown Church" is. with "The Old Rugged Cross". one ai the first hymns we learn in aur youth, and on. ai the last we sing in aur aId age. Most people do not realize that there actually is a little brown church, and they think af it as they think af the little red school house and the old oaken bucket.
