'E OUET CANADIAN STATESMAN, BOWMANV!LE. ONTARIO TRrYRSAY, MAR. Uth, IM Last week, orne of aur citizens was found guilty and fined $100 or a month in jail for shop-lifting. We did flot carry the storv for several reasons. We have flot followed a consistent practice of pub- Iishing court news. and did flot wish ta do further damage to this persan's reputation or bring additional embarrassment on the fami]v. Howev'er. after discussing the matter mith several friencis and givîng it consid- erable thoughi, ve have corne ta the con- clusion that we should. at least. bring the offence lo -the aiteniion of aur readers.

The only criticism îliev receive is ridicule because eey were cauglit. It is the retailer who TI another column, the Chairman of the Arena Management Committee lias detailed observations cancerning criticism whicli appeared recentiy in print and which lias been voiced vocaily by some citizens. We would like ta tollow an wîth some camments which would seem pert- inent. This year lias been a busy one for the Arena - and would have been one of the most successful had not the heavy snow on the roof scared many customers away tram games. With twa teams. the Legion Juveniies and the Lions Midgets in the Ontario finals, it is hoped that patrons wil turn eut in full force, now that the danger period has passed, te not only support these fine young athietes but aise te add te the funds of the Arena. As this is being writ- ten on Tuesday, it miglit weli be that the Bowmanvilie-Orono Combines will have won their crucial game against Napanee by the time this is published and tliey toa could be on their way up the titie ladder. Since its erectian during the 1948-49 seasen, the Memorial.Arena lias provided an excellent outiet for pent up energies et our young people during the winter nionths. It also lias been used by bath young and aid in numbers far exceeding any other public building, with the possible exception of the schools and we believe it is one of the most important assets we have in this community. Unfortunately, young and aid patrons of sucli a structure are tar more difficuit ta contrai because they are tliere witliout supervision te let off steam and some do it in mast destructive ways. As a result, the cast of repairs and the problem of even the mast cursory housekeeping is gigantic in com- parison with high scliools or other public buildings. One of tlie finest features of aur Arena in relation ta others in this district is that tram its apening, a great deal et the work bas been done by persans wha could aimost be 'called dedicated. For instance we bave neyer found it -necessary ta lire an Arena Manager wbere salaries start at $5.500 a vear. The work lias been carried on iocaiiy by persons who at most It is with considerable regret that we announce the retirement f rom The States- man this week of Mrs. Roy Lurinev (Elsie Carruthers Lunne v) who lias decided ta devote lier full time ta houseliold duties r Whe Qa(Étunt'dn t$Wtmatu Established 1854 with which is incorporated rhe Bowmarnville News, The Newcastle Independent and The Orono News lO5th Yeai of Coniinuous Service to the rown af Bowman ville and Durham County AN INDEPENDENT NEWSPAPER %jeu 4b StJBSCRIPTION RATES $4.00 a Year, strictly in advance $500 et Year in the Unted Statu. Authorised as Second Clcma Maal Pont Office Departnat. Ottawa Pubkhhd by THE JAMES PUBLISHING COMPANY LIMITED Bowmanville, Ontario JOHN M. JAMES, EDiToit becomes the cuiprit for being so miserable as ta place the paar thief in the hands of the law. For this reason, many store- keepers in Bowmanville have over the years absorbed large lasses in preference ta stapping known thieves after their de'vious acts. Others merely require the person ta return the goods ta the shelves or pay for tliem. The theft whicli resulted in last week's conviction is by no means a raritv in this community, according to the information we have received. Peculiarly, shop-lifting ta some people doesn't came in the same categor 'y as steal- ing monev, 'et in essence it is exactiy the samne. People witb otherwise good repu- talions have indulged in shop-lifting witli- out a qualm. Employees of large factories sucli as General Motors think nothing of stealing parts from their employers, risk- ing their jobs, their future employment and the welfare of their families for an item wNorth just a few cents. Tliey even admit the thefts casua]1y as thougli.tley were expected ta help tliemselves when thev needed something - sort of an un- writîen section of the union contract. In recent montlis, sbop-iifting has become s0 widespread that law enforce-. ment agencies, retail groups and judicial officiais have decided ta do something ta, stem the flood. It is hoped their efforts will produce tlie restraining resuits. How mucli better it would be if it could be stamped out either by fear of conse- quences or an awakening conscience in the individual. receive only nominal sums for their efforts. Maintenance and administrative staff have been kept ta a bare minimum in order ta cut costs. As a resuit, eacli year the Arena lias mare than met operat- ing expenses, and lias not been a drag on the taxpaying public. It is flot ta le wond- ered that the chairman became a bit hutf- ed at the tone et the crîticism. We are hiappy ta pay humble tribute te those men wlio have carried tlie weight et responsibiiity over the years for tlie Arena's operation. The entire community owes them a great debt et gratitude which can neyer be repaid. We think especially ot Clitt Samis and Bob Watt, two et the real faithtuls, but do not discount for a marnent others - wha have made worth- while contributions either as paid or un- paid, full or part time members et the staff. Mr. Samis retired some years aga, after spending almost day and niglit at tlie Arena, and at the end et this season, Mr. Watt wiil do likewise, atter being tbe chairman since 1951. He toa wiil be a difficuit man ta replace. Next year, another era will start at the Arena, with a new management, as yet undetermined, in charge. Among the cansideratians which wiIl face tliem are the engineering suggestions and recom- mendations for impraving and eniarging the structure as well as the possibility et adding a sprinkler system ta cut the cost et insurance, and a heating arrangement sudh as Trenton lias installed and ather Arenas are contempiating. Al af these changes invoive large autlays of funds and must be anaiyzed carefully if the building is ta pay its way, whiie providing ice time at cast or less for aur young people. We at The Statesman will continue ta support and encourage thase wbo take on the job af conducting Arena affairs because we are tamiliar witli the many difficulties and the persistent criticism tbey face and tlie co-aperation tbey require if tbis im- portant municipal asset is ta supply adequate facilities without becoming a financiai iiability. and free lance writing. Mrs. Lunney for the past eiglit years lias been a capable, faithful and con- scientious member ai our editorial staff. During most of Iliat time, she not only handled a great many news stories witli skill and amazing accuracy, she also pro- duced a most interesting column "Current and Confidential" whicli earned wide readership as it deait witli a great variety et subjects. In her spare time, she prepar- ed articles, many ai whicli were pubiisbed in some aillhe top periadicals in Canada. Her special interests included music, the staries behind old homes and listory. Thus il was that last year's Centennial in Bowmanvil]e tound lier eager and able ta contribute a great deal ai the content, ai the officiai history 'Bow manville - A Retrospect", and also ai The Statesman's special edition to mark that important event. As we grope for tlie riglit word whicli she always had ta hand; as we dig deep te find some historical tact lier memary could easily recaîl and as we pore over the reams of country correspondence which were included in her multifarieus duties, we shail miss ber deeply. Speaking for the entire staff and the many readers who we know wîll join witli us, we wisli ler weli as she advances turther inta a bighlv competitive field.
