Section Two The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanville, Wednesday, May 11,1994 11 Mcéman With Which Are Incorporated The Bowmanville Ncwa, The Newcastle independent, And The Orono News BOWMANVILLE, ONT., THURSDAY, MAY 11th, 1944 ISWiiÀIIVILLE MW 102% Of ITS tOM OBJECTIVE lions Club Told About Sightless h Industry After the formal business at the Lions Club luncheon, Monday Monday evening, President Andy Thompson turned over his gavel to. Dr. Harold Ferguson, Chairman Chairman of the Lions Blind Committee, Committee, for the meeting was devoted to consideration of problems of the blind and a Tag Day is to be held Saturday to raise funds for the Institute for the Blind. The Club members were honored in having as speaker a noted economist economist and educationalist in the person of Dr. S. A. Saunders, supervisor of vocational guidance for the Canadian Institute for the Blind, and five lady guests rep resenting the local Women's Committee for the blind. They were, Miss' Helen Cryderman, Mrs. A. S. Baker, Mrs. W. A. Edg- er, Miss Florence Werry and Mrs. Hamilton. Dr. Austin, Enniskillen, introduced introduced the speaker, who, as he told, was.born in New Brunswick In 1900, went to Moose Jaw, Sask., and before completing his education, became sightless. In no way daunted he graduated from Dalhousie University, went on to secure his M.A. at Toronto University and later secured his degree as Doctor of Philosophy. Dr. Saunders won several scholarships scholarships and a prize of $1,000 for his thesis on the Economic Welfare Welfare of the Maritimes. In 1937- 38 he was an expert in the enquiry enquiry on Dominion-Provincial relations. He was author of sev eral books and pamphlets on economic economic subjects. • Revolution in Industry Rising to speak, Dr. Saunders moved his fingers across the face of his Braille watch and observ. ed that he would try to confine his remarks into the space of half an hour, after which he would be glad to answer questions pertaining pertaining to his subject, "The Blind in tiie World of Work." The handic?" of being unable to consult consult mÿtts or MS presented no difficulties in the fluent exposition exposition of an absorbing topic which ranged over general problems of present day industrial, vocational and labor developments; their •relationships to post-war com plexities and the part therein to be taken by sightless people. Tracing the background of the world of work, Dr. Saunders said that a few generations ago people people were mostly on the land, Then came the industrial revo lution and from that stemmed the diversification of goods and services, the broadening of the field represented by the professions, professions, each and all later to develop develop specialized branches and each in time to become impressed with human factors and social obligations inherent in the march of progress and the hand of time. To understand the significance of it all, particularly for the postwar postwar years, was a problem of vital and significant proportions. Human Factors The growth of huge industrial plants with thousands of employees employees brought about a condition condition where management lost touch with the individual worker. To recapture contact and to understand understand individual problems, to establish efficiency, contentment and confidence, there has grown up a science in industrial management management involving many factors. Two main approaches to the problem have been, vocational guidance and personnel direction. The first is concerned in directing directing the individual into a sphere of activity where his skill might be best employed. The second is wherein a personnel maneger, acting as liaison, contacts the individual individual worker, constantly seeking seeking to see that he is capably con- .tented and successful in the task PROMOTED OVERSEAS best suited to him. The first is an outside job, the second an inside job requiring the best knowledge available. Under- these mam ideas of guidance guidance and placement, the blind, through their Institute are coming, coming, more and more to take their places in the limited industrial fields open to them. Out of these basic conceptions have developed subsidiary phases embracing intelligence intelligence tests, aptitude testing, interest questionairres, both in schools and in industry itself, which seek to meet the ever changing conditions of the times. These have been reflected in the armed services where the demands demands of mechanized warfare find schools established to place those in the services where their aptitudes can best be employed. Military Enquiry This was pictured by the speaker as one of the good things derived from the present war. Beyond that, at the present time, there is a branch of military service service making' minute enquiries among enlisted personnel, seeking seeking to find out what each would like to do on demobilization; to get a profile of the capabilities and potentials of each individual. This is all different from the last war and it is hoped the public come to recognize these factors which will be of such great importance importance in post-war readjustment. readjustment. The speaker quoted instances to show that industry in some cases has gone far beyond schools, governments and the armed services in comprehensive studies which seek to bring contentment contentment and success to their employees. employees. One large firm had compiled compiled complete information embracing embracing every employee, all tend? ing to establish the human factor in industry. Tests were made of lighting to determine human reactions reactions at work. Interviews sought the stories of ambitions and plans of individuals and to discover unrecognized leadership. leadership. Science therefore, would have an increasing effect in industrial industrial relations. Leadership Needed Concluding, Dr. Saunders referred referred to the tremendous problems problems involved in putting service men back to work, of reallocating those now in war plants, and fortunately within our armed services the neucleus of the modern- approach had been established. established. The main handicap had been lack of careful thinking, yet with the few to provide leadership leadership behind an informed public opinion the future held bright promise. If not we should have very difficult times. Schools, industry industry and special services all had a part to play, all co-operating co-operating toward a better pattern of human relationships. The blind were handicapped by having open to them but a limited sphere of occupations but the Institute Institute was alive to the new developments developments taking place and plans have been formulated for their services in a gradually expanding expanding field. Business of the club included passing of estimates of $128 for seeds and fertilizer for Victory Gardens and the Potato Club, and $15 was voted as a donation to the Blind. Letters were read from those in the armed services expressing thanks for parcels sent. They included thanks from Muriel Baker, A. F. Benson, Richard Nugent, Stan Dunn, Wally Braden, Bill Brown and a score more whose names were read without reading the letters. Voting took place to fill the po sitions of 2nd and 3rd Vice Presi dent, with Jack Brough and Bob Kent, respectively, elected. > v y ' .

Local Soldier Missing Now Writes Letter From Germany The gnâwing and continuous worry which necessarily follows a "missing in action" report, was banished on Saturday morning when Mrs. Leila -Cowle, Church St., Bowmanville, received a card from her son, Pte. Alvin John CBwle, written from a -German prison camp. On January 31, Mrs. Cowle was officially notified that her son, a member of the 48th Highlanders, was reported missing in action on January 20. Each day the anxious mother watched for mail. Each week she expected to hear from government sources or from the International Red Cross that he was presumed dead or was a prisoner of war. No word came and hope began to wane just a little. Then on Saturday, still without any official notification other than the missing in action report, a card from the missing soldier himself was received by the happy mother. Pte. John Cowle enlisted with the Hastings and Prince Edward Regiment at Peterboro in April, 1943. Upon his arrival overseas in September last year, the 26- year-old soldier transferred to the 48th Highlanders. John Cowle was bom in Bowmanville Bowmanville on January 21, 1918.

In other words this is just 81.1 per cent of the objective and only three more days to go. The canvassers are working overtime in every municipality to reach their quota and many -are hopeful of going over the top. With the exception of Hope Township the rural districts so far have not measured up to their splendid performances in past loans. But it is hoped the next three days will produce a better showing. The Town of Bowmanville is still well in the front registering 102.2 per cent of its objective of $270,000. Even with this good showing local citizens cannot afford afford to rest on their oars. There are many people yet who have not subscribed, and others who have not gone anywhere near the limit of their ability to buy bonds, we are informed by the canvassers. Although Bowmanville is in the lead at the moment we must look farther afield and help other municipalities who are having difficulty in raising their objectives. objectives. Remember a Victory Bond is the best investment in the world today so buy that extra bond before before Saturday night. The standing at Wednesday noon is as follows: Raised % Obj.

There have been some people lately, who question the advisability advisability of continuing military training at the present time. If the powers that be sec fit to have us train we can rest assured their arc reasons behind it. Incidentally, Incidentally, you derive " a lot of benefit from drill, the training develops self confidence; you have to stand and walk correctly and lost but not least you have to think for yourself. Some consider the war all but over and would like to cut down all training and much of the m$n- ufacture of war equipment.

At the close of business on May 8, the Village had reached $40,000. J. J. Mellor advised headquarters in Port Hope that they were still going strong. Clarke Township, however, to date has failed to set the pace which they set last fall and every effort will be needed for the Township to reach its objective of $205,000. Both villages, Orono and Newcastle, have done well but the rural districts of the Township have not produced the results which they are capable of and it is sincerely hoped that, between now and the close of the campaign on Saturday,- there will be a definite improvement.
