THE CANADIAN STATESMAN, BOWMANVILLE, THRDYJUE4,19. PAGE TWO FACTORL IN CULTURAL LIFE 0F THE COMMUNITY The Music Study Club held its final meeting o! the season last week concludlng a very successful year. The final programr was up ta thc high standards set by the club and maintalned tbrougb every meeting. While the club is not a money mak- ing organizatioti, it is f u]lfling a very necessary duty in the commun- ity, that o! sponsoring good music. Bowmanviile for many years bs been a noted musical centre. Prom this conununity bas came in recent years some a! the finest musicians o! the province, including Miss Owen Williams, Miss Yvonne Hazie- wood. Miss Jane Mason, and now Mr. John Kent, o! wbamn critics commented very favorably at a re- cent recital i Massey Hall. Saine years ago Bowmanville had one o! the fineat bands i the province, thxe Dominion Organ & Piano Co. band. Recently the Canadian Legion basi organized a bnd and wbo knows that from this sinail beginnig the town may agaipossess one o! the country's flnest musical aggrega- tions. The Music Study Club bas brought many outstanding artists ta this town and bas succeeded in cre- ating a high musical taste which cannot fail ta bave a beneficial e!- fet on the public. It would be no:- tblng short o! a calamity sbould this organizatian cease ta, exist. It is an important factor in the cultural if e o! the community. The club is worthy o! the support fInancially and otberwise, o! not only the musi- cally inclmned but o! everyone. There is reason ta believe that the club members wiUl give their un- stlnted support ta, the Musical Fes- tival ta be held at the Boys' Train- ing Scbool next September. One o! the difficulties o! staging a musical festival is that people are prone ta discount an event o! this kind because it is local in character but the Music Study Club bas brought music in Bowmanville ta such a high standard o! excellence tbat at a district music festival cit- izens are bound ta hear as high class entertaininent as can be ob- tained anywhere. Let us hope thati when the Music Study Club resumes its meetings in the f al it wil be- come an even greater f actor in the Ide o! the comxnunity and that its wortbwhile efforts will be well re- paid by the musical culture it pro- vides f or the town. GREATER CO-OPERATIVE NEED- BD TO SOLVE FARM PROBLEMS In newspapers throughout the province the significance o! the co- operative movement among farmers is being stressed and at the formai openuxg o! a new co-operative hog packing plant at Barrie recently more than 3000 people attended. The farmers o! Barrie, under the leadership o! Thomas Olsen, whose home is just north o! Bowmanville, have banded together into a co-op- erative association for the express purpose o! regaining the British bacon trade. They are out ta pro- dluce tbe quality and quantity o! bacon that is f avored in Great Brit- ai wbere there is an aimost uniin- ited market. These farmers are tak- lng care o! theinselves and will doubtless benefit. Farinerai Durhamn, always con- sldered among the Most progressive i the province, are today getting around 12e a dozen for eggs and 20e a pound for butter and correspond- ingly 10w pricea for livestack. These prices are on the level of those that exlsted 25 and mare years ago whereaa the price o! impleinents. machinery and general living arc f ar above that era. Why then, if f armera o! the Blue Water district have f aith enaugb ta iveat $125.000 in a packing plant ta iprove their conditions, cannot the farinera o! Durhamn do the saine ta market their farin producta ta ad- vantage? Ia there any reason why local farinera cannat co-operate just the saine as in other places? The word co-aperatiari itseîf cx- plains the abject of mass working for the comman gaad. Wcbster's 2tb Century Dictionary definea ca- operation as "the association o! a nuxuber o! persans for their common benefit and collective action in pur- suit o! common well-being." The Barrie Examiner in discussing what it bas meant ta Barr'ie to have the co-operative packing plant Ia- cated there, says: '*By ro-operation Barrie bas gained another industry; by co-operatiofl this indîistry wilI prosper and further increase thLe re- putatian o! Barrie as a pirçe(ýsix e town; by co-operation the di.strict will benefit by the incî'eased mîoney that is thereby prit into cii-cula(i.iont But it la only by continued c-pr ation on the part of citizens. who arc the real customers a! the plant, that the value o! the undertaking will be !ully reallzed." One often heara the fanmer coin- plain. and rightlY too, that the mid- die man is making more profit than the fariner who produces. With al the work o! tediaus months, ail the risks and ail the expense, the mid- dieman takes the livestock and other praducts f rom the fariner and makes a bigger Profit than the man wha bas the least ta show for bis work. Durham farinera shauld watch with interest the action o! the Bar- rie farmers and they should thor- oughly investigate and discuss the projeot with a view ta providmng greater co-operation among tbem- selves, not necessarily in a park packing plant, but along the variaus branches o!f farming in which Dur- ham farmers specialize. CLEANING MAIN STREET one hears considerable discussion among the merchants on King Street on the return ta saine kind o! efficient street cleaning, not neces- sariiy that whicb was in vogue prev- iously, but ta some systein by whicb the streets will be kept in better condition than they are now. Since the council decided that a weekly wash by fiusbing the street with fire hase was enougb Main Street bas neyer looked as dlean as it did prev- iously. The business section tlrough which tourists travel should be kept dlean and attractive f or it is nat economy or bealthy ta have a dirty street. Previaus ta the new order taking effect the town paid out the magnificent sum o! $50 a month ta a man ta keep the street dlean and it was kept much cleaner than it is today. We wonder whetber it is proving a savîng by eliminating the street sweeper. How many gallons o! water are used each Saturday in cleaning the streets and how mucb hase will be used in the course of a year as well as the labor entailed in daing this work? This costs a con- siderable suin and then there is not satisfaction. Town Council should bring this subject ta the fore at its next meeting and find a more satis- factory method a! keeping King Street clean every day in the week.

A Story With a Moral A man walked into a weekly newspaper office and asked the price for a certain job of print- lng. On belng told the price was $5.00, the customer re- marked that he could buy it in the city for $1.00 less. "All right, said the printer, "I will give it to you for $4.00 providlng you buy it f rom me on the same terms and under the same conditions that you would if you ordered it done in the city." The deal was made. The customer was recuested ta write out the order, give the printer 2c for a stamp and 7c for a money order, also 20c for return postage. This the customer did. The printer then informed the customner that in a few days time the parcel would be delivered through the post of- f ice. "But 1 want it now." said the customer. -That is the reason," said the pz-inter, '*that wc have to charge you a littie more. We have' a pritiiîg plant and a quantity of stock here for your convenience. We pay fire in- surance, help the town along I)y laying taxes, support local charities, and do a huidredC and one things for the town on the extra 70e that was ask- ed for the article you waiîted The' resoît was thaf t he cil.;- tomier îiaid $5,00 for the job. "Its the first timte that that argumnent lias ever been brought ta my notice," liesaid. The Editor TaIIcs Economy is deflned as the regula- tion of household or of business a!- fairs; frugality o! expenditure o! one's money. This is sufficiently plain ta be understood. Zimmerman was accredited a wise man in olden times and he said: Take care ta be an economist in prosperity; then there wiil be no fear of your being one in adversity. We have read, too, ta be profitable, economy must be practised ail the time, flot introduc- ed in jerks or by fits and starts. Another saying of a practical nature goes: "When begi.nning the loaf is the correct time for saving." When a man suddenly begins ta economise- we may depend upon it he is in a bad way. Either he bas made a fool 0f himself or that he is going to if he does flot be very careful. To be more explicit Economy is only another word for management. It is also a science of exact quanti- ties; an orderly and methodical ar- rangement by which ail parts are adapted ta secure the maximum o! good resuit, by the minimum o! out- lay. Or it is a method which avoids waste or extravagance; or the art of making the most out o! everything and applyîng the money so made ta the best advantage. Economy must neyer be pushed ta the verge o! parsimony, or closeness i expenditure or nigardliness. There is no real need for such a thi.ng. The truly economical man can aff ord ta be liberal, and the firm which manages its business with prudence and economy will always be able ta pay its employees well; provide them with proper tools and materials for their work and give thema coinfortable surroundings. Where real economy la practised there is no occasion for bullying and driving warkmen; for starving them in tools and supplies; nor for work- ing them long hours. Then the re-! suit la the creation of a higher status o! character among them. Economy in its best sense means the saving o! waste and the avaid- ance o! unnecessary expense. wheth- er in the management o! the nat- ion, the warehousc, the workshop or home. It is too often the case, hawevcr, that a man wha tardily takes steps because o! diminshed profits or be- cause o! heavy lasses, starts at the wrong end. Faithful and skllful warkmen o! long experience are dis- charged or 'allawed ta leave for the sake o! saving a few dollars in wag- es; aitho far more is a!ten lest a!- terwards through bad work and mis- takes of tic unexperienced help or ne'er do well men who take the places a! the aid hands. Then the materials bill is over- hauled-but in the case af many businesses attempts are made ta get a cent or twa per foot or per yard or per pound reduction on things used, resulting in spoilt work and waste materials more than outbal- ancing the difference in price be- tween good and bad stuif. Far more might have been saved by ovfirhauling the scrap, heap ta sec if the material was being used ta ad- vantage or saine other wastc. It is the same w-ýth many ather tbings. In a certain business with which we are acquainted the dealer is screw- cd down ta the last cent per ounce profit for a certain article; and yet the waste of it in many businesses la moat seriaus. In the matter o! gas and electric lights. the waste is enormous. even in weil managed business bouses. Anather wrong way o! ecanomis- ing is in the reduction o! office ex- penses, leading too o! ten ta mistakes In cbarging, delays in delivery. and o! ten loss o! customers. 'Sacking" the *traveller is saine merchants favorite way o! supposed economy. with the result, perbapa, that said traveller carries off one- hall o! the business ta a rival finm. Not lesa foolish are other merchants wbo cut down in a wrong season ad- vertising, as we mentioned in a for- mer Talk. This applies in a case wbere a firmn's advertislng bas been the making o! the business. Many firmas underestimate the real value o! advertising and if they leave out their advt'g they may soon be for- gotten and they deserve ta be, for its false economy and no mistake. The essence o! truc econamny bas been well summed up in a !ew wards: The principal tbing i mat- ters a! economy is ta cut off ail sup- erffuous expenses;, but truc bus- bandry domh lic in expending the same money ta more advantage than another; and as the lawer clasa used ta say in England -ta have four pennies for your groat." 0 0 0 A writer in Fort William Times- Journal thusly explains why he finds ecanomizing sa difficuit: A stary is tald o! a business man an the other side o! the uine who ne- ceived a request f rom bis banker ta send a cheque for saine reason or other.

The Statesman is a biting editor- ial written by Editor M. A. James in answer ta criticisms directed at The Statesmnan and at his persan by the opposition West Durham News. Ap- parently there used ta be much more f un at election time i those days than there is now according ta, the remarks nMade in the editorial. Following rules should be strictly observed by persans having occasion to, enter a printing office: 1, Enter softly; 2, Sit down quickly; 3, Sub- scribe ta the paper; 4, Pay for it in advance; 5, Don't touch the type; 6. Keep six f eet f rom the devil; 7, Don't talk ta the compositors; 8. Hlands off manuscript. Gentlemen observing these rules will greatly oblige the ed.itor. Queen's Birthday was very quiet in this town. There were no sports prepared sa that aur pleasure-loving citizens scattered in different direct- ions. Sanie went on the Norseman whlle Cthers went ta Tyrone, Ennis- killen and Enfield. Officers o! the newly organized Cricket Club are: Col. Cubitt, presi- dent; Dr. F'ielding, lst vice pres.; John Wesley, 2nd vice pres.; W. R. Climie, sec.; W. T. Brodie. treas.; W. E. Hodgins, capt. While unhitching a restive team o! horses f rom the buggy after re- turning f rom Tyrone anniversary. Mr. Sam Hughes was killed when the team kicked hum in the face and drew the buggy over him. Orono: Two deaths occurred In this vicinity on Saturday last. Geo. Benson, living about three miles east o! Orono; and Wm. Allen, wagon maker who died f rom apoplexy. Tyrone: The Queen's birthday was celebrated royally in this village. Softball, football. tea and concert were on the program. Mr. Varcoe., proprietor o! the Tyrone Hotel. did a rushing business and one o! the effects o! it was a brutal flght in which a young man f ront the norili and a man f rom Bowmanville were the principal actars. We should have a constable in the village. Enniskillen: Rev. F. M. Finn and family wcre welcamed ta their new home by a large gathering of friends on Thursday. There was na lack of baskets and a very social time was spent. benefit, the Dorcas Society, the Y. M. C.

"The government bas so govemned my business that I do flot know *ho owns it.

" There may be a moral ta this story. The fewer laws that are passed and the less goverinent in- teirferes with business, the sooner will business men be in a position ta write cheques when they are needed. The Canton correspondent af the Port Hope Daily Guide is quite "het up" aver The Statesman's laxity in not placing Canton on the Durham County Apple Blassain Tour. The correspondent adds that Lhe editor a! The Statesman doca not know what heie s missing by leaving Can- ton high and dry on the rocks. We would like ta p oint out ta the Can- ton correspondent that this was the firat Apple Blassoin Tour arranged and arrangements necessarily were on a amaîl scale. In future years the tour will broaden out consider- ably and perbapa Canton will get a fair share a! visitors as this part o! Durhain did on Blassom Daya.
