Retiring Principal of Central Public School Receives Silver Platter Students from Waverley Public School recently submitted submitted stories about life in Bowmanville Bowmanville in the past, present and future. It was one of those days. We had to go to school. My two sisters and I slept in the same room. We got dressed every morning. We went downstairs everyday for breakfast. _ We always have eggs or porridge and milk. We go to school after breakfast. After, when school is over, we come home and do our chores and homework. On Saturday we go to the Mer- chantile. We give Mrs. White the eggs. At night when we go to bed Ma reads us a story. Ma goes to work at the Restaurant. Ma's job wasn't easy. She had to wash the dishes and cook the food. At the end of the day she cleans the tables off. Ma would come home, cook supper but we helped her. After we ate Ma clears the table and washes the dishes. Pa works at the mill. Pa's job isn't easy. He carries bags of wheat. He fixes the water wheel. He does all the work around the house. Our life is hard, but fun. The town has a Mercantile that has everything. The doctor goes around every day to see if everyone is alright. Our town has a school that is used for church on Sunday. When church is over we have a picnic. Our life is fun.

Campbell When 'neath the rumble of the guns, I lead my men against the Huns, 'Tis then I feel so all alone and weak and scared, And oft I wonder how I dared Accept the task of leading men. I wonder, worry, fret and then I pray, Oh God! who promised oft To humble men, a listening ear, Now, in my spirits trouble state Draw near, dear God, draw near, draw near. Make me more willing to obey, Help me to merit my command, And, if this be my fatal day, Reach out, Oh God, Thy Guiding Hand, And lead me down that deep dark vale. These men of mine must never know How much afraid I really am, Help me to lead them in the fight So they will say, "He was a man." (Major Campbell was killed on Christmas Day 1944, and this poem was found on his body.)
