TE CANADIAN STATESMAN. bOWMANVIL.LE. THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 24, 1931 PAaE TWO MAKE ORONO THE COUNTY FAIR FOR DURHAM It is generally admilted through- out Ontario, and the fact has been stressed on more than one occasion by thse Hon. T. L. Kennedy, Mnister of Agriculture, that there are 100 many Fail Fairs in the province. Mr. Kennedy in various addresses bas rntimated that the County Fair wili be the f air of the future and that many of thse smaller fairs will go out of existence. These state- ments coie wth the increasiiîg diffculties experieisced each yeair by the smaller agricultural societies in financing their exhibitions. For many years Bowmanville experieiw- ed these saine dificulties, and re- grettable as it nay seem, the soc- iL-ty was practico.llY forced to cease operaliflg the West Durha.m Fair. Othier fairs ail over the province are getîng nearer tihe tinie when f in- ances will flot permit tise carryirig on of their fair. One of the best township fairs in Durham Counly to weather the trend of lise limes. is Orono Fair. The central location of the village perhaps isas much to do with this. Directors of both the West Durhanm Agrîcullural Society and of the Clarke Agricultural Society have lately been talling, unoffcially, of thse chances cf the amalgamation of~ the two societies so as to provide an outslandiisg Fair for Durham Coun- ty. The combined miembership, the increased drawing area for attend- ance. and tise united aid of the dir- ectors of both societies. should make tise undertakin.g a pronounced suc- cess. In time there is the possibil- ity of amalgamaling with tise Cart- wright, Cavan, and Port Hope Soc- ieties and of making the fair at Or- ono. tise county fair of Durham. The amalgamation of these soc- ieties would be a step in thse rigist direction and as somnethitig of this nature must happen in the flot far distant future il is not to-,o early to consider its possibilities. Financial diffIculties are slrangling nearly ev- ery fair and ultîmately the County Fair w-ill have to materialize. The Provincial Minîster of Agri- culture is in linîe wîtis these ansal- gamnations and increased grants will resuit with the arrivai of the Coun- ty Fair. Orono. being thetpolitical centre, (also tise hub of intelligence as some termnil t, and neariy tise pisical centre of the County. it is the logîcal place for the Countyý Fair. There are spleîsdid building s. large fair grounsds. with available land for expansion. and an abund- tunities for wicening the circle of acquaintaxice. of knowing ones neighbors just a littie better. We, who dwell together in happiness and 1comparative material prosperity. iknow there are no better people to :be founid anywhere nor any better )place to spend one's appointed years than here in Durham Couinty. the gemi of the counties. To get the >most out of living is not such a hard job after ail. There are plenty of opportuniities and these counitryside events are part and parcel of them. If you aren't already a countrY sup- per fan. joîn up-you're passiisg up a valtiable opportunity to add to lifes enjoyment. BOWMANVILLE IN EXCELLENT COMMIERCIAL AND FINANCIAL CONDITION on another Page of this week's Statesman appears an article based o-n figures obtained from the 1931 Canada Year Book, issued by the Bureau of Statistics at Ottawa. Bowmanvilles remarkable commerc- ial strength as shown by these f ig- ures provide interesting reading. The town*s industries manufacture goods almost of equal value to Port Hope and Cobourg combined. A huge sum is invested in the town for capital for these industries. nearly 700 are employed in the factories in normal times, and well over haîf a million dollars is paid out in wages in each year. Those of our citizens who are in- clined. through depressed timnes. to doubt the stability of Bowmianville as an industrial to-.wn, will see in these figures reflections of the for- idable strength of the towvn. That Port Hope and Cobourg. both towns wth larger populations. should only exceed when combined. the Bow- mianvîlle record of production by a f ew thousand dollars, there need be no fear in the minds of Bowmanville people that the town is going back- w'ards. Indeed, while Port Hope and C; 'bourg are admittedly strong towns. it must be conceded that Bowmanville is of unusual commerc- ial strength and that the next few years should see a steady growth. that wiil place cur town among the leading industrial towns of thse pro- vince. The figures f rom the Year Book provide only one thing Ihal might be critcised. The figures for the four lowns )f Bowmanville. Port Hope, Cobourg and Whitby, show thal Bowmanville industries pay the lowest wages of the four towns. Thse figures show tisaI the average wage glady lin ithOron an Clrkeing salaried people. is considerable citizens to make it onc of the great- 1es than $1000 per year, whîle is est County Faii's in tise province.' the other lhroe towns tise average Thse sooner the Counts' Fair mater- 'early wage is well above the $1000 ializes the better it is going to be mark.

RECOINMEND A GOOD SPANK- ING FOR BAD BOYS The Ontario Magistratesý Assoc- iation will seek to have tise law amcnded so tisat they be given greater latitude to punish off enders by the lash or strap. The members of thse association are Nvell qualified to express their views on thse sub- ject. Day after day they listen to the complaints brought before thens. They are is a position to observe the effects of punishment which may be inflcted under the laws as they are. Their unanimous con- clusion that their powvers should be 1 broadened is more deserving of at- tention than are the protesîs of theorisîs who have no practical knowledge of the courts. The in- crease 0f juvenile delinquency has become a grave social problein. It may be lessened by a good sound spanking as recommended by sever- al.of the magistrates. Many youne- sters regard a boy sent t0 jail as 'something of a hero. But he is not so much a hero with his friends af- ter he is spanked.

ADVANTAGES CLAIMED FOR A TOWN MANAGER The eîssuing article is one of a series 0f infornmative articles writ- ten and issuec i y the Toronto Bur- eau of Municipal Research o1n the Councl-Manager forn of osunicipal goverîsoent, which Tise Statesosan strongly advocates th5e adoption of in Bowmanville. This article is en- titled "Some advantages clainsed for the Council-Manager f 0cm of Muni- cipal Governosent, with a sosal council elected at large for over- lappîng termns." Tellîng of this form of government the article reads on. 1. It provîdes more compîcte democrdtic control, in that respon- sibîllty is more definitely located and less easîly evaded. The City Council is responsîble for deciding polîcies, passîng the budget, ap- pointing the City Manager and see- îng that its policies are carried ouI by the City Manager withîn the ap- propriations fixed by the City Coun- cil. It is difficuit for a small City Council, wýith defînite responsibil- ities, and elected at large success- fully to "pass the busk 10o one an- other or to some otiser authority and it is impossible for the City Man- ager to plead an effective alibi to Councfl for failure, or 10 unload re- sponsiility on a subordînate.
