THURSDAY, MARCH 30th, 1933 Lack of Appreciation and Loyalty -One heurs much these days of loyalty. Loyalty ta country, to church, ta school, t o community, ta home, ta merchants, ta loclges and other organiza- tions. One of the great institutions in any com- munity is the home town newspaper, be it weekly or dally. Prom personal experience, here and else- where, we regret ta see this lack of appreciation and loyalty ta the local newspaper which lends itself so wholehearteclly and continuously ta the betterment of Its people and the community it serves. The local newspaper is recognlzed as the servant of the people. It fights their battles, seeks justice for the masses,, often gives service without thought oi pay. and last but by no means of least import- ance gives a <ependable news service of the area it covers, neyer losing an opportunlty to say a good word abou.ý an individual or boost a worthy cause. It la therefore often difficult for the publishers ta understand the apparent disloyalty, or maybe lt's only thoughtlessness, showu ta the local newspaper by so many people. Those whom the paper benefits most are often among the most perfidlous, and those whom It serves best are -among the most false in their al- legiance ta their local newspaper. Wlthout beating around the bush, or camoufiaging the facts, we wish ta point out that na newspaper can retain its bigh standard and continue ta give the service that is expected or demanded of it with- out the loyalty and support of those wbom it serves. We find among the worst offenders, and we regret ta say it, members of church organizations. Many of these socleties, on the rightful assumption that the local newspaper must serve its conimunlty, ex- peet free publicity for its meetings, for reports of its activities, and for its general announcements. Wbere these activities are for the good of the church, aud where no charge la made for admission, The States- man gladly gives reports at no expense ta the soc- iety. In brief our policy is: Wbere you charge we charge. This free service la carrled on each week by the newsPaper, and it becomes so commonplace that we fear the very nature of the service is forgotten. It la something that ought to be done. and as it neyer fails, there la a right ta expect ItL But what about the times when these same people Who look ta the local newspaper for constant public- lty want same prlnting doue? Sometimes its mem- bers have the rlght attitude and brlng this work ta the newspaper whlch has se generously supported them. But just as of ten It has been found that those ta 'whom the newspaper service bas proven most valuable, are the first ta take their printing else- where, and of ten out of town, where they have no hope of gettlug the free and effective service they receive from their own local newspaper. Don't thlnk for a minute that church societies are the only offenders in tis regard. The racket bas become qulte common among aîl classes. In fact we are oniy givlng pubiclty ta It now as we find some people are under the impression that they have been getting away with It wtheut -the knowledge of the publishers. We might mention too that tis cunning practice is not confined ta Bowmanviile only, for in a recent gatberlng of newspapermen f rom ail parts of the Dominion it was revealed that alI were suffering more or less from the same unfair practice. Ail we ask is that you be as loyal ta your local newspaper as it is ta you, or in other words, iet's practice the Golden Rule, Restore the Spirit of Pioneer Days Sir Arthur Curnie, spcaking at the Canadian Club bere last week, tauched a responsive chard when he said: 'We have moved too f ar away f rom the simple 1.1e and falth of aur ancestors. Their lif!e was a communal lil!e. It was a life of graup help. There was na undue or unnecessary dependence on Gev- ernments. AIl this has gone. Our complex 111e bas driven it out, alrnost campletcly, and we must strive ta, brlng it back. There are quack rernedies offered- the uprooting o! socicty, the destroying a! what aur fathers built, the beglnning of civilization ail over again on a diffenent plane and on principles am4d Ideals opposite ta those on whlch aur country was founded. If I were givlng advice ta youth, I would say: Strive ta ignare thuse quack remedies and ta restare the spirit o! ycur pioneers. Let us face the future, not with fear, but with hope and faith; not wlth unbidled aud individual selfishness, but with the communal spirit cf neighborllness that charact- erlzed the pioneers." Seldom have truer words been spoken or btter advice gîven in these testing days. The old pianeers fought their own battles, tigbtened their boîts and worked harder when difficuit times came, and re- lied upon their own courage, strength and resaurce- fuluess to meet the trying times and hardships that beset thern. These are qualities rnuch nceded today by the present generation. The difficuit econornic condi- tions have created a desire ta lean heavily on gavern- mental assistance for support nather than meet aud averorne such obstacles by their oAn resaurceful- ness. It is true pcrhaps that the ernergcncy bas been s0 senlaus that state assistance was necessary. But there is stili room for a much greater spirit o! self rellance, stlll opportunity for mutual self help which wlll enable many people ta meet their own problems ta a fan greater extent than they are doing. From wbat wc read and hear of the sturdy pion- eers o! thîs country, their life was a simple anc, but founded ou mutual trust and confidence. In this modern lue cf camplexities, a.s Sir Arthur pointed out, these conditions have ail changed. But it la net too late ta get back ta the simple 111e and the simple fith which made these pionrers the strong men and wornen they were. It Is fut necessary ta abolish everytbing modem to do thl.s, but It Is necessary ta get along wthout so many ai the things that seemn sao necessary and yet are net. Help Unemployed to Help Themselves Last summer a large number of unemployed were provided with gardens and vacant lots in which they grew vegetables for the winter. This meant a con- siderable saving not only in relief expend.tures but gave the men themiselves something ta, do as well asç more money to spend on other necessities of 111e. This plan should be followed again this year and shouli be so arranged as ta include every man on relief during this past winter. It is only right that these unfortunate men should do something ta help themselves and the growix!g of their own vegetables is a step in the right direction. The Public Welfare Board should make it very clear that persans not t.aking advantage of the summer ta grow vegetables, if the land is available, need expect no help fromn the municipality if conditions warrant the continua- tion of relief measures next winter. A co-operative effort in providing the necessary land and seed might be undertaken by the Town Council, Welfare Board, Horticulturai Society and the Business Men's Assoc- iation. Step Right Up and Take Your Place Spring trade wlll be the objective of aIl progressiv merchants from now on. It does require a lot o study and attention ta know just what ta, lay ou~ and how best ta, reach the public. People have n, money for what they can do wlthout. People hav money for those thlngs that they want. You knoN that the people are buying to-day things that the want and paying for them. Look at the money spen the last few weeks upon hockey. Note the Jig-Saç craze, and the money that has been spent upon thi past-time. Entertairnment has nat been curtailed Thus, there la money in the pockets of the people It resolves itself inta a question bow can the peopiq be reached and secure a share of their trade Clothes, Mllinery, Footwear, Dry Goods, Hardware and Men's Purnishings have been very slow. Sprini trade-la anticipated and styles are being shown Ir the larger centres. If the local merchant does per. mit the outsider to step in and win their customers then the trade will go from Bowmanville. If, how. ever, the local merchant wlll get busy and dig deer ai ter the trade, he wiil have a greater share. Peopi( prefer ta give the business locally, but they do noi know what the local merchant bas ta offer becatu the local merchant has sat back and let the othei f eliow tell his stary and invite the trade. Men in business locally, here la your chance. Makt a real .bid for the Spring tradle. Do not sit back and Play second fiddie. Lead the parade. It has beer doue by others and you can do it again.

Thus, tbe whole coMmnunity is made more prosperous because of the effort put forth.

The yaunger set who do nat seem ta care whether they wear a hat or net are exempt from this danger, but men who bave been in the habit af having their pates protected f rom the elements when they are at aIl extreme, should not be required ta bare their heads. There la no law against keeping the bat an. of course. It la only custom. And that has became more or less obsolete as men decline ta expose themnselves ta the cald. It la just a suggestion to thase wbo care ta leave their bats on that tbey will not be showing less reverence; rather they will be demonstrating their comnion sense.

These two shrubs have been extensively planted for orna- mental purposes and have escaped fromn cultivation and are now grow- ing wild to a very considerable ex- tent in many parts of the Province.

A study of the 111e hlstory of the fungus which causes stem rust of grain makes clear the part the Bar- berry plays in increasing rust. The fungus which causes stem rust of grain has a complicated i 1e history. There are four distinct stages through which it passes during the year.
