Government Loan a Stirling Investment The 80 million dollar Government boan, launched on Monday by the Federai Government is worthy of the strongest public support. The security behind this issue of bonds is in reaiity the integrity of the Dominion of Canada and even the most pessimis- tic wiil nat dispute the soidarity a! this country's f inancial position. Of particular interest is the interest rate on this loan which is 41/ % and which marks a new era a! iower interest rates an Government bonds. High interest in the past has done much ta cripple busi- ness and while thase investing as great returns as they might wish they must remember that the lower rate will mean less annuai gaverrnental expen- diture and consequentiy less taxes. There is noth- îng an the bond market taday that can be considered as safe a security as Canadian Government Bonds. The Daminion's alinast unlimited resaurces are behind the issue and the Canadian people. with their devotian ta British principles, form the human background for this issue. Citizens can make fia mistake by subscribing ta this bond issue, as they are assured of a goad in- terest. a saiid investment which cannat fail unles the Dominion itself fails and that is a very remote possibility. Should Have Bird Sanctuary Here We have pointed out on numerous occasions that County Council was a body in need of abolition and o ne recent event is further proof of this contention. Last week Hon. Geo. S. Chailies, Minister of Game and Fisheries. announced that October 28th and 29th wouid be open days for pheasant shooting in Nor- thumnberland and Durham Counties. The Counties Council, the supposed governing body of the United Counties, was flot even approached with regard to the matter and not only that, but the farmers over whose land hundreds roamed at wili .were not even consulted about the matter. It has long been the hope of both town& and country people in the United Counties that these areas wouid become a game pre- serve. Much work has already been done around Bow- manville with Mr. J. L. Morden's wild duck preserve at the Mackay Mill, Dean Pickell's preserve between this town and Oshawa and the new Jackman bird sanctuary right in the town. It seems a pity that this work is to be injured by permitting an open season at this time. Pheasants are flot too plenti- f ul in the country and what there are here are of such a tame nature that there is no real sport in hunting them. A bird that will stand and watch whlle the nimrod prepares to blow hlm iiteraily ta pieces does flot provide the real hunting sport. It id too late to do anything about this open season for 1932. but it is hoped that the United Counties Coun- cil. and ail rural and urban councils in the Counties will notify the Minister of Game and Fisheries that Northumberland and Durham does not want an open season for pheasant shooting here. especially when many farmers are attempting to restock the district with the birds' Can It Be Citizens Don't Care ? One o! the most discouraging things for an exec- utive or Board to contend with is lack of interest. It seems to be a common enough complaint in Bow- manville and practically every organization knows how hard it is ta get people to attend meetings. While it is ta be regretted it seems not unusual that only one citizen other than members of the Board and Ladies' Auxilary should be present at the Annual Hospital Board meeting in the Council Room on Thursday night. In analyzing the situation. perhaps the public is sa weUl satisfied with the efficient manner in which the Hospital is conducted that they just let the mat-j ter ride and the Board continue its work. On the other hand it seems that citizens are not aware of how the Hospital is run for they have no way to find out other than by attending the annual meeting when the reports are presented. Tbe public are cordially învited by the Board ta attend thisneetlng but they do flot turn out, and consequently they know only what they learn through the7newspapers. It is a great pty that more interest is not taken in this work among the slck, and the burden o! carry- ing an removed f rom the shoulders of the few and borne more evenly by the citizens of the town. iTown Badly in Need of Public Park Whitby has a town park and recentiy spent con- siderable money on improvements which the Gazette and Chronicle very aptly names a "Cammunity Asset." Perhaps if Whitby was without such an asset, as is Bawmanvilie. they would appreciate even mare what a cammunity as.set is theirs. Principal L. W. Dippeli o! the Highl Schooi speaking at a gathering recentiy, painted aut the great need o! a comrnunity park, complete wîth running track, bail diamond. rperhaps tennis courts and other attrac- tions. There certainly is a great need for a park a! this type and it is a pity that at the present time the Town Council cannot see its way clear to pro- vide the neccessary fonds for creating this much needed centre. The Rotary Park with the expenditure of several hundired dollars, on what is known as the flats, could be made irîto a beauty spot. and amusement centre rivalling any along the lakefront towns. Among ýh, needed improvements at that spot are the installation o! sanitairy conveniences, the lay- ing out o! hard and so!tball clamonds. toboggan and ski slides. tennis courts, rtinning track and the ex- cavation o! the crcek bed for a swimming pool. A praminent local horticulturist dlaims that this is one a! the most beautiful spots anywhere and the pas- sibilities for its future are wonderful. What an opportunity this undeveloped park land presents ta same public spirlted citizen to carry his name down inta pasterity by praviding the funds for this very wrthy and necessary undertaklng. Ladies' Hospital Auxiliary Good Work Bowmanville Hospital is indeed fortunate in hav- ing affiliated with its Board a Ladies' Auxiliary of the calibre of the body headed by Mis. V. H. Storey. At the annual meeting of the Board on Thursday night the report of this organization %vas presented and it was a revelation to hear what had been ac- complished by this loyal and efficient band of women during the year. The Hospital wouid be infinitely poorer without the aid 0f this organization and it is really doubtful whether the hospital could ade- quately carry arr withaut their -aid. The list of articles purchased for the hospital, and which appears in this issue is flot only lengthy but valuable. The Auxiiiary has provided scores of sup- plies which have meant a great saving to the Board, thus keeping the deficit from growing ta any aiarming extent. A total of $419.36 has been spent by the Auxiliary on supplies and every cent of this înoney was raised by the ladies in fees, card parties, theatre parties and by donations. 'rhere is however one feature of the report that surprised us and that was the fact that all this work was accomplished by a membership of 21. with an average attendance of only 9. This means that a magnificent amount of wark has been accompiished by a very small arganization. This brings ta aur mind the question of numbers. We wander how it is there are only 21 members. Is it because that number of ladies is cansidered suf- ficient ta carry on the work? Is it because that is the entire number of ladies in the town vitally interested. or it it because a general invitation is not extended ta the ladies of the town ta join. We feel sure that more than 21 ladies in town are inter- ested in the welf.are of the Hospital and we believe that the work, which must f ail so heavily on the shoulders of the few, could be considerably lightened by a larger membership. Merchants' Haif Holiday Not Popular In Simcoe the haîf holiday in the stores has been a question of debate. The Reformer in summing up the matter says: 'Judging by the attitude of a number of leading Simcae merchants. fia extension of the half holiday idea ta make it a year-round affair is likely. Since last week's issue. in which reference was made ta it, several merchants have tald the Reformer that they would not favar the idea, in fact they feel that the Wednesday hall-holi- day for f ive months in the year makes plenty of inroads inta their business withaut extending it. One leading business man has figured out that about ten per cent of what wauid atherwise be business hours is iast through haif and f ull holidays during the year. Viewed in this light. it is littie wonder that the majarity of business men are opposed to the adoption of an increased half-haliday schedule." Quickest Methcd to Insure Better Times Big business men, leaders in finance and indus- oniy conclusion on which they are ail agreed, as a measure ta bring back the long delayed return ta prasperity. We have read. and aur readers have no daubt read scores o! statements by men o! pramin- ence that a strenuous advertising campaign is the quickest method ta ensure a return ta better times. and so we read daily o! large advertisers apprapriat- ing even larger sums than ever befare for advertising. We heard the other day a! a manufactuerer o! a nationaliy known confection who was asked why it was, when his product was weli and widely known that he stili spent millions, annually, advertising it. His reply was ta the effect that, advertising was the only means known ta, man whereby sales couid bu' maintained, hawever weli known his praduct might be. We believe that those who are withhoiding ad- vertising campaigns at this time are retarding their own return ta better times. People go where they are invited ta go, and the invitations are issued by way of the adý7ertising columna a! the newspaper. One day iast week a departmental store in Toronto used 17 pages o! two evening papers ta tell the pub- lic the news o! the store. Common sense wiil tell us that they did flot spend these thousands of dollars just ta see their f irm's name appear in the news- paper, neither did they do it just for the f un o! the thing. They were out for business and they got it, and the same will apply ta local merchants. If you have the stock, let the prospective custamer know, and he wili accept your invitation ta deal with you. People no longer waste time and shae leather searching for value, they go where the merchant is energetic enough ta tell them thraugh the newspaper where value is ta be found. Bawmanvllle wiil see a return ta better times far quicker when merchants realize the truth o! the assertion, "It pays ta ad- vertise." Believe It or Not Newspapers Are Read In the fast-changing world of today, newspaper reading by the general public is even more intense than in periods of economnie and Political calm. Merchants and business men who doubt that news- paper advertising is as effective as in the 'Good Old Days" need only consider the remarkable resuits of the recent survey made of the productive power of newspaper advertising. In that survey it was con- clusively shown that outstanding f irmns which had increased their advertising budgets reaped rich bene- f its in increased business. Another demonstration was given also by two large city departmental stores, in which hundreds of thousands of dollars of mer- chandise was sold in a few days' time through the sensibly courageous use of newspaper advertlsing. Newspapers are stili semi-public utilities, The local newspapers are close to the communities they serve, and they reach every class of buyers from the greatest purchasing power to the lowest. Newspaper advertising today speaks in an atmo- sphere of action, for it is coupled up with the news of stirring events the warld over. It is part of that virile thing which the public eagerly seeks-second only to f ood and shelter-news.-Picton Times.

Negotiations are now under way between Bowmanville town council and the Qavernment for the imfprovement o! our own oaterfî'ont by the eiec- tion o! a br'idge across the harbar from the east to the' west side. It seems about time the Dominion Goveînnent did something for Bawmanville..
