THE CANADIAN STATESMAN, BOWMANVILLE. THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 19, 1931 PAGE TWO would hiold that night open." Good old Bob! Otîr thotîghta and prayers are wvitli you and >we look for your return soon improved in health. THE TOWN TIIAT SATISFIES haps too eager to forget tne saci- -- ices mladle by those galant Canad- Iri proposing the toast to "Our ians and in their forgetfulness they Town" at the Canadiani Legion ban- are apt to forget the horroî's of \ar. quet on Remembrance Day. Major It is only when this realization of G. C. Bonnycastle rerninded hlis what war is. is brought to oui con- hearers 0of a contest conducted by the Chamber of Commerce some years ago t0 find a slogan most fit- ted t0 Bowmanvill,ý. The slogan that was awarded thep pi'ze and which was adopted was "*Thc Town That Satisfie'." He pointed out aLso that there were some who did not be- lieve thîs slogan to be true which we know from inixîng with the dti- zens very freely is often expressed. If those Who are so ready 10 cnit- icize the town only realized that they are an inherent part and force iii the lif e of the community, per- haps they would also realîze that if Bowînanville is not a town thats-1 îsfies, then they, as residents Who make up its population, are to blame. The old proverb "a chain is only as strong as its weakest link" applies here very aptly and those Who knock and not boost are the weak links that tend to make Bowmanville a lown that does not satisf y. As this class of grumblers and chromec fault-finders are a very smallmn ority however the town will hav o thing to worry about as to its fut- ure. Bowmanville has proved itself an unusual lown during the lrying times of the past two years by its steadiness and stability when other towns of a like size were facing al- most unequalled criais. No, Bow- manville has nothing to worry from its hand.ful of dissatisfied cilizens, for thank goodness, there are plenty of citizens who have unlimiled f aith in the town and its future and this faith drives the blindness of the f ew int obscurity. TURNING TO SPIRITUAL VALUES We are of ten told that there is nothing so bad thal no good will cone 0f it and this applies very truly to the unusual conditions of business that hav~e been apparent throughout the world during the past two years. Perhapa it takes limes such as have been expeienced to bring people to the realities of ie and this certainly seema true of religion. Recently there have been many signs of a new turning loward spir- itual values. And with the search for them, they are appearing in un- expected places. Many of the un- employed have found hitherto un- tasted satisfactions in reading and study. Mulual adversity bas devel- oped aome of the fimer f ruitages of sympathy and human understand- jng. The f renzy of getting has somewhat giveri way to the joy of giving. Many have rediscovered the truth that "a man's if e consisteth flot in the abundance of the things which he possesseth.", It may not be possible at once 10 overcome all economic fluctuations. But if attention can be turned more toward the attainment of spiritual1 riches and human thinking anchor-1 ed to th~eir more stable values, il will4 be found that definibe progresa has1 been made in stabilizing business. 1 Churches in Bowmanville havei experienced during this period a de-1 clded mecrease in ablendance. In their lime of stress the mLsses have turned bo the one source f rom which sure comort can come and they have learned thal material succesa is not succesa unless il bas wibh lb the feeling that il la backed by a spirit- ual brotherhood. Unleas one knows that they are dolng their share in the community apart f rom the dol- lar and cent material side of if e they can flot have that assurance of complete succesa that comes to the man who knows that bis spiritual as well as bis material life la succesaful.

Looking at the financial ide of the picture public hospitals are gener- ally considered more phlanthropir than paying businesses. Although the neceipts fromn patienta did not equal the ru.nning expenses thîs xas made up thnough legilalive and municipal grants and privai e dona- tions. But in thia connection it I should be impressed upon both rural and urban people in this district Ihat although the hospital is cap- ably managed by a Board of Dii'- ectons composed of public spiited citizena who serve without remun- eration, they are juatified in expect- ing the public to give the hospital thein moral and financial support. If you think you can't afford to give the hospital a donation while you are living remember the hospital in your will. EDITORIAL NOTES "There are three groupa of people I-the few who make thinga happen, the many more who watch thinga happea. and the overwhelming ma- jorily who have no notion of what happens."-Nicholas Murray Butler. -Unemployed money makea unem- ployed men" said a speaker over the radio recently. If those who have the xnoney will employ it to some good cause it will not be long be- f ore unemploymenl wîll be a thing of the past.

The selection of Mr. D. A. Mc- Cullough to fill the vacancy on the Bowmanville Hospital Board is a commendable choice as Mn.

For the second time in severali months a Toronto departmental store used 16 pages of adverlising in one day's issue of two city papers costing in the neighborhood of $15,- 000. Yet some merchanîs shed croco- dile lears, wring their hands, and bewail the opinion it doesn'l pay ta advertise. Now Ihal the Hydro By-law has received ils final readîng, been sign- ed and sealed, the nexl important question is, Who will be the local Hydro Commissioners?.

Il speaks well for the fine, true Christian spirit that pre- v'ails and which neyer dies in the heart of Canadians. IRemembrance Day will long re- main in the niemories of the hun- dreds of people who attended the supper and entertainment commem- oraling the opening ceremonies of the new United Church at Newton- ville on Armistice Day, Nov. llth. Paradoxically speaking it was the best fowl supper and worst manag- ed affair of the season, and all be- cause it lacked a little systematie handling of the crowds as they flocked into the church. It was a case of the f irst were last and the last wene f irst. Intimation was given at Novemben meeting of Town Council that rate- payera would be asked at the Janu- ary elections 10 vote on a furîher 10 years' fixed assessment to the Bowmanville Foundry Co. This vote should receive theý favorable consid- eî'atîon and wholehearted support of eveny citizen as the foundny under the ownership and skilful manage- ment of Mr. C. Rehder and his son Mr. C. E .Rehder, has given steady eînployment and paid good wages to its employees for over quarter of a century. Another point worthy of note is the fact that labor problems are unknown at this industry. if you were asked just how to de- fine 'advertising" you would no doubt experience some difficulty in doing so, but Miss Florence Dart Of Phîladelphia won a silven trophy with thîs definition: 'Advertising is the art, science and business of cre- ating a favorable public acceptance of, demand or desire for, any worthy product or service." The contest for a definition was launched because, according to the Women'a Advertis- ing Club of Chicago, who sponsored it, "There is a need for the general public to have a definite idea of just what advertising is and how it funclions." Now the women are taking up arms against the "flagrant extrava- gance" in municipal administration. In addressing the New York State Federation of Women's Clubs, Mrs. W. D. Sporborg, the president, de- clared that "only when the People demand accountability for the pres- ent flagrant extravagance in the cost of running municipalities will Ihere be any hope for readjustment," and added, 'We need women and men, too, who will assemble the leaders in each community, irrespec- tive of partisan interests or f ears, who shaîl make it Iheir business to face those in authority with de- mands for 'accountability of office' and direct action to check the fast- growing systemas of graft, racketeer- ing, illegal institutions that foster disregard for public decency and public safety, recklessness of life, and increase of crime."

Thus: 1. Increase the amount of each sales transaction by an aver- age of 15 Per cent. <Note: This is not the same as rais- ing your prices 15 per cent. To do that wouid be fatal, even if possible). 2. Increase.the number of eus- tomers servedl daily to the extent of 15 per cent. Good salesmanship will en- able a retaileî' to raise the level of his aver'age sales transaction - with advant- age to both his customer and himself. Thus, a well- informeci buyer will readily pay 20 cents or 25 cents more for a pair of gloves or stockings or shoes, or for a piece of enamelware, if the better value of the higher- priced article is well pre- sented. Our Local Retailers But the better way of rais- ing sales to the extent of 15 per cent is to increase the number of your customers. Customer-increase c o m e s from (1) satisfactory ser- vice, (2) satisfactory goods and prices; (3) good win- dow displays; and (4) good advertisements in this n'ews- pap er. Men and women buyers al- ways want to be informed, in their homes, by newspap- er advertisements, a b o u t things which they plan to buy; and they are respons- ive to retailers' invitations. Also, they like to see the ad- vertisements of those retail- ers whose customers they are. A silent retailer can hardly hope to increase his business; and it's pretty certain lie won't double it in five years. M k IMRS. R.

Thie presi- dent, Mrs. Frank Jackman, presided. The meeting openied with Commun- ity Singing, following by "O Can- ada" with Miss Bragg at the piano. Alter the business session Mrs Go Pritchard took charge of the f 0110w- ing program: Violin selection by Norman Freedley, accompanied by Mr. Francis Suttoln: trio by Mrs. Foster, Mrs. Chambers and Mrs. J. E. Anderson. accompanied by Mrs. Daniels; piano solo by Mrs. Clemn- ens; and a reading by Mrs. Adams, -In Flanders' Fields'; each number being much enjoyed by all. Mrs. R. S. McLaughlin. President of the Federation of H. & S. Clubs, gave a splendid address on "-The Aima and Objecta of Homne & School Associations.' In her opening i'e- marks she said. I congratulate you on the splendid work you have ac- complished and are trying to do. Home & School Clubs are organized to promote co-operation betwveen the home and the school, to encourage the study of child problems and in every way possible to create the best conditions for training of boys and girls to become good Canadian iti- zens. The first Homne & Sehool Club in this country was founded by the late Mrs. A. C. Courtice in Toronto in 1916. In 1929 35 countries were federated. Poland has gone one step higheir and no school goes on with- out a Home & Sehool Club. Mem- bershîp of the clubs is made up largely of mothe-s and teachiers, and Ione of the greatest gîfts is the op- portunity it offers through the mnerg- ing needs of the mndividual child. Ail mothers are interested in what affects youth. After the home, as a dominant influence in the if e 0f the Young, comes the school. It follows naturally then, that our Home & Sehool Clubs are striving to help teachers in their work. The speaker stressed the importance of training in thrif t, encouraging the children to put their money in the penny bank. Parents should see that his- tory and other sehool books are printed in our own Canada. Child- ren should be trained for an occupa- tion that best suits them. Mothers should early train their children to regard all the courtesies of li.fe as scrupulously toward each other as to mere acquaintances and strangers. This was the only way which canj secure for them the daily enjoyment of a happy home. A hearty vote of thanks. moved by Mrs. Jackman, seconded by Mrs. Geo. Pritchard. was tendered to the speaker and all who contributed on the program. Miss Jewell's room had the hon- our Of most mothers Present. To double a retail busi- ness in five years, add 15 per cent. ta the sales of the preceding year. At the end of five years, s ales will be double their present amount. 0 SATURDAY SPECIALS 2 doz.
