PAGETWO HE CNADIN STTESMN, BWMAVILL, THRSDA,-A--ST-----193 Established 1854 A Weekly Newspaper dev.oted to th e Interests of the town of Bowmanville and surroundlng country, issued at King Street West, Bowmanville. every Thuraday, by M. A. James & Sons, owner's and p ublishers. The Canadian Statesman is a member of the Canadian Weekly News- paspers Association. SUBSCRIPTION RATES Anywhere in Canada, $200 a year; in the United States, 82.50 a year, payable in advance. Single copie*, 5 cents. THURSDAY. AUGUST 25th. 1932 The Rotary Club Carnival The willingness of Bowmanviile and district peo- ple to help the Rotary Club in its splendid work among crxppled children was ably demonstrated on Thursday last in their generous support of the Ro- tary Carnival. It is expected that when the com- plete returns are made at the Rotary luncheon on Friday, a f und of about $500 will have accumulated through this effort. In spite of the fact that adverse weather caused the postponemeflt of the event for one evening a large crowd attended the carnival. It was flot the heavy spending crowd of past year but that was to be expected. and the net receipts. which are about hall of last year, were naturally smaller. Much credit is due the various committees of th~e Rotary Club for the success of the venture and those who played a part cannot but have the gratifying feeling that they have done somethings towards a worth- while object. We agree with the Cobourg Sentinel-Star which in referring to the Rotary Carnival in that town says: The Rotary carnival is frowned upon by a few as having about it the atmosphere of gambling but, if the object of the carnival is considered, the ends surely justify the means. The money does flot go into any individual pocket for personal gain but is used to help unfortunate children regain their health and well being. The same people who buy a ticket on the big wheel would no doubt give as generously if appealed to personally. but it is much more fun hancling out money when there is a chance of some- tlting in return. The Rotary carnival cannot be classed in the same category as horse-racing, or the roulette table. The former is an effort to help un- fortunate children and prompted by the best desires, the othen two are prompted solely by selish greed. A Town of Beautiful Gardens Perhaps the best way to judge the type of citizens in a community is ta enquire into the cultural pur- suits, a rnost worthy one of whicli cames under the caption of floriculture and gardening. During the montli 0f August gardens are at their best. With copiaus showers this season lawns have reached that stage of maturity when one cannot but stop a mo- ment and admire their smoothness and velvety green texture. Flower gardens are a iot of colon and in their beautiful arrangement is represented liaurs of tail, whicl miglit well be termed a labor of love. Bowmanville as a town stands in tlie front rank witli regard ta garden beauty. A gentleman visiting in Bowmanville recently f rom tle States remarked that nowhere lad lie seen sudh fine gardens in lis travels. He lad seen individually fimer gardens and af greater extent, but lie had seen in no town so evident a general desire on the part of citizens for the beautiful as lie lad witnessed in Bowmanville. This year the step forward in this direction lias been greater than for rnany years. Every dhurci in the town lias made an effort to beautify its grounds with shrubs and flowers. while private houseliolders seem to have been conducting a friendly war to see just who could make the biggest improvernent ta their surroundings. This is an effort well wortl the while f rom both a s-elf isl and municipal viewpoint. There is nothing mone conducive to lappier homes and happier lives than beautiful gardens and there is nothing so con- ducive ta law abiding communities as well laid out gardens abounding within its borders. Then to look at tlie matter f rom an advertising angle one cannai but agree that industries and people will locate wliere beauty is an integral part of the culture of tle community. Hope for the Farmers of Ontario Han. T. L. Kennedy, Ontario Ministen 0f Agricult- ure, and hunself a practical fariner, is exceedingly optimistic for the future of the farmers of Ontario as a result 0f the termns readlied at the Imperial Ecanomic Conference. Mn. Kennedy does not dlaim that the advantages are 100 percent riglit for the fariner, but that tley are very close ta It. In view of the fact that agriculture in this province was lit harder by tle depression than any ailier industry, It is not difficut to understand the highly optirnistic remarks of the Minister of Agriculture. The Minister states that tle apple growers, the cattle dealers and the bacon producers will greatly benefît, and if tliese tlree farmin ndustries can show increased development and new stimulus, witl in- cneased prices as the result of an increased demand, the problem of the fariner 15 just about solved. Ap- pies get a preference of 85 percent per hundred weiglt, whicl will mean $1.25 on every barnel of Canadian apples, and with 50,000 te 60,000 barrels going to tle British market this year it is flot diffi- cult to visualize tle benefit. Mn. Kennedy does not think the 5 percent preference on butter will mean very much ta Ontario, as the greater part of the butter manufactured here is consurned here. but le is looking for great things f nom the rernoval of the regulations which have existed in the United King- dom against Canadian cattle. giving the Canadian fariner a real chance ta get some returns f rom lis cattle. The biggest thing af ail, however. in tle opinion of Mn. Kennedy, is tle apening Up o! tle bacon mar- ket. He states that the proposed quota of 2,500,000 hundredweiglt annually will mean 2,000,000 hogs every year, and le declare-% it will le f ive years be- fane Canada will be able ta readli this quota figure. These three tarin products alune slould give the Ontario fariner an incentive ta get into the garne, ta have lis confidence renewed, ta stir hlm ta action and thus benefit f rom the results of lis activities. It looks as thougli there is somethlng real aliead for the fariner. Why Are Editors of City Dailies Buying Weekly Newspapers ? Among the newspaper fraternity it has 0f ten been a subject of discussion as to which gets the most joy and satisfaction out 0f 111e, the editor of a town weekly newspaper, or the editon of a city daily. It is often admitted that there is more glarnor to the daily newspaper. There is the daily climax of going to press. There is the everlasting rush to get news while it is news, and there is that thrill expenlenced when one scoops its competiton. But wlien one gets down ta the realities of life the editon of a weekly newspaper seems to bring more satisfaction into one's 111e than does the daily scribe. With the former hie meets, and with more leisune, the people whom his paper serves. He knows most of his subscnlbers personally, and is able to cail them by their first namne without fear of offense. He gathers his news methodically and as the weekly climax draws near hie sorts his matenial and ar- ranges his front page to give the more prominence to those articles that are deserving of sucli, with no thought of the sensational angle. In the daily f ield one goes through a miniature hell, we are told, to find a story to grace the headlines and often suc- ceeds in placing in that position a stony which might, the following day have been marked by the editon "inside, anywhere.Y The weekly usually is able to find among its treasure trove a local story well worth the top ight hand position of the front page, and a story that is of utrnost importance to the community. We make these comments in view of recent press despatches telling of Rupent Davies, editor of the Kingston Whig-Standard buying for his son the Kincardine Review-Reporter, and of A. R. Kennedy, editor of the Stratford Beacon-Herald, placing his son at the helm of the Brussels Post. Perliaps these successful daily editors believe. as we do, that more down right unadulterated satis- faction and joy 0f service is gained in life in the weekly newspaper sphere. or else they realize, as lias often been stated, that f rom the offices 0f the town weekly newspapers corne the country's greatest and rnost influential daily newspaper moguls. Back to School Next Week "The whining school boy, witli lis satdhel and shining morning face. creeping like snail unwillmng- ly to sdliool."~ That is how Shakespeare describes the school boy in descrîbing the seven ages 0f man in his play "As Yau Like It."' On Thursday next Public and High Schools will open their doors when a thousand students will pour into the old famîliar buildings to commence once again the round 0f dut- ies which will last for the longest session of the yean, until Christmas. We doubt, despite Shake- speares description, wliether there will be mudli whining or creeping to school. A hiappy feature of the long summer holidays chlldren 0f today are giv- en, is the fact that towards their close the child tires of the inactivity from work, and tires a little of play too, so that whon the opening day arrives the rnajonity are ready and willing to proceed in pursuit of their studies for three months. To some, the f ive and six year olds, school open- ing presents a new and wonderful adventure. The huge building they have often admlned is to be en- tered and explored. The nealm of story book, the intricacy of arithmetical problems, art and physical training present ta the starters something new each day and each week, and their f irst year at scliool is usually one of unbounded enthusiasm and deliglit. May we refer just brlefly ta those who have been going ta school regularly for some time. Some, with honor, have passed their summer examnations and proudly look aliead for new and greater f ields to con- quer, while others, perhaps a little crestfallen, through failure ta pass exams. are not sa eager for the fray. Ta those who did fail and are perhaps a little downliearted, or who may have an infeniority complex regarding their own accomplialiments may we say step right into the work, co-operate with Your teachers and parents, for bth want ta help you, and your disappointment of this year will turn ta glorious achievement next year. New Civic Officer Doing Good Work At one of the f irst meetings of the year the coun- cil, according to provincial statute, appointed a weed inspector. in the persan of Mn. A. S. Baker, land- scape gardener. The position is more hanorary than one of financial gain for attached ta it for the f inst time in history is the paltry salany of $25.00. The Job has in the past been given to some already busy town employee and this has been found unsatis- factory. In appainting a man who lias no other municipal position and who is well quallfied and has the time ta devote te the wonk, despite the fact that the reward la negligible, lias bonne gaad re- sults and the town is loaking better for his actlv- ities. This i.% not Just an idie remank of a local wlt- ness ta the fact but is the stated opinion cf the to get and take sorne. It lias abundant power, pep and the perfurne of health. It is the best f ood for the weak. and the best reducer an the market for the ave-fat. It's clieap naw. but pnice alane is a poor seller: it needs advertlsing. MISSION HEAD TELLS 0F 8000 MILE TRIP (Continued from page 1) countnies, with the exception ofi Russia. could be put into the Can- adian Arctlc and there would stilll1 be many thousands of square miles1 lef t over. The trip in June took 171/2 days to go from Toronto to 200 miles north of the Arctic Circle. Had he gone by train and boat as has been done before this same trip, pnovld-1 ing evenything was favorable, could flot be done in less than 96 days. From TorontQ to Edmionton the trip was made by train; and another train, part freight and part passeng- er. took hlm ta Waterways, 300 miles north of that city. Here arrange- ments had been made for transpor- tation by airplane to Acklavik, in the Arctic, 2000 miles f rom Edmon- ton. The country around Edmonton is a beautiful fertile country, rlch and pleasant and yet to be broken. At Waterways the lakes are alive with f ish. but fishermen are unable to selI the fish while the depression lasts. By Canadian Airways air express, piloted by the famous Wop May, Archdeacon Fleming proceeded on his journey. It was his f irst exper- ience in the air and he was a little apprehensive as the plane lef t the ground for the hop off. In that first day of travel they covered 1120 miles stopping at Fort Norman. On the way they passed McMurray where the famous tan sands are 10- cated. This sand is naturally tarred and is ready for use in road surf ac- ing. Great Slave Lake was passed where on June 2nd. ice was piled 40 feet high at one end of the lake. The speaker commented on the fact that government radio stations are dotted through the Arctic and he sent a night letter by radio to Mrs. Fleming ini Toronto which ar- rived the following morning. Not far f rom Fort Norman is the most northerly oul well in the world and incidentally oil f rom this well drives the electric light plant at the Acklavik Hospital which is the most northerly hospital in the Empire. As an illustration of the fickleness of the weather Archdeacon Fleming pointed out that. such good time was made up to Fort Norman that it was thought that nothing could prevent them making a new record. They figured on getting to Acklavik ini time for lunch on the morning they1 left Fort Norman but they only gotÀ as fan as Fort Good Hope where they ran into a big stormi. They1 could not see a thing and lhad to1 make a forced landing where they1 made a fine and had pork and beansi for supper. He told of a man nam-t ed Clark. living near here who or-1 iginally came from Ontario and who1 despite the fact that he Uives 50 miles north of the Arctic circle grows grain and vegetables i pro-t fusion, his cabbages last year aver-i aging seven pounds each and manyE weighing ten pounds.1 The next day they ran into an-j other stormn and were held up three1 more days and then on the Monday( they started on the last lap but rani into a heavy snow storm. Wop May climbed to 5000 feet and hit more snow and wlthuncanny skill man-1 aged to bring the plane down safely despite the fact that he had no1 idea where lie was. When the stonm1 cleared and the plane was able to ise again they found they were but' a mile f rom thein destination at Acklavik. This was on june 6th and there was 8 inches i snow on the ground. This lie pomnted out was not unusual but that was how it was on this visit. The Archdeacon touched briefly on the work being accomplished at the Anglican school, mission and hospital at this base and. refenred also to the men he met there in- cluding many who took part i that epic man-lwnt for Trapper John- son last year. From Trapper John- ston the 'speaker was able to take a moral of misdirected skiil and en- ergy. The two way trip over 8000 miles of varied country Was com- pleted in 171/2 daYs. In closing Arclideacon Fleming spoke of the necessity' of the wonk in the f an nontli. The native, he said, was absolutely indispensable to the development of that great coun- try and if the white mani was golng to exploit that cauntny they had ta have the native. Tbii deal with the native they had to be modennized and Christianized andi this must be done before the curses of the white man, of lmmonallty and drink reacli those innocent peaples.
