i = BOWMANVILLE Melbourne E. Tumer, Representative DISCUSS BAD HIGHWAY CURVE Chamber of Commerce Call an Open Meeting for Tonight By Staff Reporter) Bowmanville, March 25. The Bowmanville Chamber of Com- merce are holding an open meeting in the interests of all businessmen Town Hall on Monday evening. At an executive meeting last Mon- day many items were brought up and public sentiment is needed to carry these through. One of the main subjects which is of interest and that will prob- ably be heard is the question of straightening the road at Stanley's This place is just an acel- dent trap and it is 'high time something was done to remedy these conditions. Time after time the guard poles have to be re- fixed and replaced 'due to cars crashing into them. It is under. stood that at one time the road ran straight into the town from Hill + the west side of the hill but at the present time it is at right angles to the bridge and with the huge drop at the turn, accidents are bound to happen, Many other interesting ques- x tions are to be brought up and a large representation from an in- 2» terested community is urged to at- tend this meeting of the Chamber of Commerce, = SATURDAY WAS A REAL SPRING DAY = Ideal Weather Brings Out Crowds for Easter Shopping (By Staff Reporter) Bowmanville, March 25.--Many other articles have already appear- ed in print regarding the changes in weather conditions for some time {= past since signs have indicated that "pens, Spring really is on the way, but when such a day as Saturday hap- and it surely did happen, '* then it is time for another arti- cle, 0ld Sol came out with a ven- {4 geance Friday evening and paint- ed the west a bright scarlet which by the word of the fishermen is a sure sign of fine weather on the * morrow. And in this case it prov- ed true, .Saturday was the climax of a month's attempt of the sun + to give us a touch of summer. The temperature rose to over 60 de- W. A. DEWLAND Limited SIMCOE STREET NORTH sweaters and leaving off head coverings entirely. y The streets of the town were a moving mass of humans who were taking the advantage of conditions to do Easter shopping before the weather grew cold again. At least the merchants admitted the wea- ther was decidedly in their favor. The local theatre did exceptional business and so did the service sta. tions. Traffic was much increas- ed. Many of the younger boys were already out surveying the ponds and creeks for swimming and fish- ing which is to begin as soon as the heat of the water permits and it is generally added that a few new holes for these purposes were aug out, The melting of the ice in Van- stone's Pond caused a heavy rush of water on the dam with the re- sult that several stout timbers were broken away from the dam. These are now being replaced with larger beams as proof against further acel- dents. The ice was melting at a great rate and if the high tempera- ture continues, it won't be long until the pond will be free from the large ice-chunks. Several of the elubs in the town were out on the diamonds practic- ing for their ball ganres scheduled for the Spring. Material is good on the teams and some fast work will be in line for the conving sea- son's sport.

MOUSE MENAGES ORCHARDS AGAIN Chief Damage in Sections East of Toronto Done to Young Trees (By Staff Reporter) Bowmanville, March 23--That per- sistent and destructive orchard pest, the "mouse," has been on the ram- page again and has girdled many fruit trees in the apple sections east of Toronto, In most cases of injury by mice the damage is generally done to young trees, but this winter the little destroyers have developed a Jartenlarly voracious appetite and have also eaten the bark on large, old trees. The type of injury is moreover quite severe, in many cases the trees are entirely girdled at the base, Trees injured in this manner will surely die unless reparative mea- sures are adopted. Fortunately for the orchardist methods of repairing most cases of mouse injury have been developed and are now successfully used, This operation is called Bridge Grafting and consists in making a bridge of living tissue across the in- jured area, thus permitting of the translocation of food supplies and a continuation of growth and fruitful- ness. Articles for the benefit of the Spring grafter who wishes to attain success in the pruning and grafting of trees and boughs may be well counsilled if he regards with preci- sion the following methods on the subject: Various methods of bridge graft- ing may be used with more or less success, but the method preferred by the writer of this article is known as the Channel Bridge. The details of this method are as follows: -- 1, Select for scions strong well developed healthy shoots of the past scason's growth. Those may be taken from any hardy variety of the species to be grafted. 2. Make scions from 4 to 6 inches longer than vertical section of gird- led area. 3. Reduce diameter of both ends of scions to one half original thick- ness for a distance of 2 to 3 inches. 4. Very lightly pare edges of re- duced sections to more thoroughly expose cambium area. Extreme care must be taken in doing this to avoid removing too much tissue from the edge of" scion--just enough outer bark should be pared off to expose the green tissue Ry 5. Place scion in upright position wiht lower pared end extending 2 to 3 inches below the girdle and upper end a similar distance above the girdle. 6. Outline with pencil or knife the points where scion comes in contact with bark when placed as directed above. 7. Cut channels in bark the pre- cise width and length of figure made by knife or pencil. In making thisc channels special care should be taken to dig out all bark from bottom and to make it so that a close precise fit of scion to trunk may be secured. 8. Set scion in position with basal part in the lower channel and the top in upper channel. The exposed wood of scion must come in contact with the bottom of channel. If the channel has inadvertently been madc too wide for scion, crowd scion on one side of channel so as to get cam- bium contact. 9. Nail scions in position using two small 34 in. wire nails at each end. 10. Coyer all points of contact and all exposed wood surface with good grafting wax applied jn liquid con- dition. 11. Bridge grafting may be done just before growth starts or even later, provided scions are kept fresh and dormant. Scions inserted by this -method may be set as closely as one inch apart and when placed as described will eventually form a * living wall around the girdled part of the tree In many cases when the scions start to' grow, small develop on those scions. When this occurs leave these shoots as they help the scion to make a more rapid diameter growth through the food making activities of the leaves. After scions have grown for two years re- move any shoots that have been left to facilitate growth.

His wagon probably was lost among the hay or straw in the barn during the winter and now is again comes forth to supply the local demand for shelled or peanuts in any other form. And the little Greek did a big husiness while the fine weather lasted, too. ACCIDENT HELD UP NEWS (By Staff Reporter) Bowmanville, March 25.--Owing to an accident on the bus line on Saturday morning early, on which the Saturday news for Bowmanville should have reached the Times' of- fice, the local column was missing in Saturday's edition of the paper.

The Michigan car was proceeding east on the Kingston Highway and could not have slowed up sufficiently after crossing the bridge over the C.P. R. tracks to make the turn in safety to its passengers, The turn at this point is practically at right angles to the bridge and numer- ous signs and boards have been posted to this effect. After swerving the car lurched against the guard posts and was only stopped from plunging down the 15-foot embankment by means of the two steel cables running parallel to the ground about two feet apart, Two of the occupants received cuts and bruises about the face by flying glass but otherwise were unhurt, The car was smashed considerably but will be remodell- el, It was towed into the West- End Garage. THREE ACT PLAY GOES OVER BIG Is Presented By Cobourg Talent Under Auspices St. Joseph's Church (By Staff Reporter) Bowmanville, March 23--"Such Shannanigans," the three act play presented at the Bowmanville Town Hall last evening, proved one of the best attractions that has ever played here, It was put on under the aus- pices of St. Joseph's Church by the voung - people of St. Michael's Church, Cobourg. The play itself had such a fine effect on the audience last night that it was r»° of the main topics of conyers ion in town today, and a desire to have the players return to Bowmanville in the near future was expressed, The plot centers around the home life of Pat Casey, a real typical Irishman, who starts life as a hod carrier, but later achieves success, and retires a millionaire contractor. Money has not changed Pat's mind in the least but not so his wife, son and daughter for financial gains to them are their downfall, The main story depicts how Pat takes these foolish modern ideas from the turn- ed heads of his family. Although it was decidely difficult to pick out a star actor, Vincent Butler, as Pat Casey bids fair to assume this position, His acting was decidedly professional and Irish ac- cent i A No too great praise may be given to Mr. Butler in the characterization of the retired contractor, Armand Francois Boni Aime De Lovier, the role taken by Armand Clement was another huge success. It is generally known that it is im- possible to speak French like it should be spoken by other than those who are natives of a French speak- ing people, but in his part as the French Modiste, Mr. Clement por- trays in style, delivery and dialect, all that is necessary for his role. Mary Anne the wife of Pat was taken to perfection by Bessie Kew- in, and the spend thrift son, Michael by Robert Lavis. The part of the daughter, Kathleen, was ably char- acterized by Helen Holman, and an- other daughter by Mary McKenna. | Lajoie and Rev. P. | ing intermissions the orchestra un- In each case, the full value of cach role was successfully portrayed in the fullest detail by the artist who played the part, George Drake, a friend of the family was played by Thomas David- son, Eileen the. maid by Catherine McDonnell, "Humpy" Steel, the jan- itor, by John McDonnell, Madam Anna Wy a Bolshevik, Margaret Haines, and Jim Doherty, of the Canadian Customs - Department, Cy My !

The scene at the harbor is one which is en- acted daily at lake and sea ports the world over with men repair- ing their nets, the delicate strands of which are easily broken, neces- sitating constant overhauling. That is one of the reasons for ihe queer rotating racks which form an important part of a fisherman's equipment. The whole expanse of the har- bor here is now clear of ice and there is nothing to prevent the fishermen from getting out into the lake but unfavorable weather. It is the general custom to buoy ont the nets eight or ten miles off shore and the principal catch is whitefish which finds a good mar- ket as a table delicacy. PERSONALS Mrs. W. H.
