MAY 4th. 1933 Work of Welf are Board Appreciated It did not come as a surprise to anyone who has been actively connected with the relief situation in Bowmanville to read that John B. Teevens. the Dis- trict No. 6 Relief Inspector, had highly commended the Bowmanville Public Welfare Board for the man- ner in which it had administered relief in the town during the past winter. The Board bas been com- posed of men genuinely interested in the welfare of the unemployed men and their families, andi at the same tie interested in seeing that the money don- ated by citizens to the Welfare Fund is properly ex- pended. As far as the inspector, in his close inspection of the books, was able to see there had been no rashi expenditures. It was not te be expected that there would be. Such men as Col. L. T. McLaughlin, Reeve T. H. Lockhart, D. A. McCullough. Rev. John Bunner, and Chief of Police Sydney Venton, could be relied on to do just the right thing. We are able, however, te comment even more f ully on the work of this board than was the inspector, because we have been privileged to see how well and faithfully these men have fulilled the obligations tmposed upon them. Three and four times each week they have gathered together in the Relief office to attend to the business of administration. Their views on some subjects have naturally differed but these differences. under discussion, have made for better administration. Chief of Police Sydney Ven- ton. together writh other members of the Board, re- cently commented on the splendid behaviour of the local unemployed in the trying tintes through which they have passed. Such behaviour is to be expected when the members of the Board who have the band- ling o! these men, do their best to make thein lives a littie brighter. The splendid work o! the Board is much appreciated by citizens in general and more particularly by those unfortunate men and women who have had to apply to them for help in this time 0f unusual and distressful economic turmail. Durham Entitled to Better Deal Recently we brought tc, the attention of citizens the great disparity existing in the appontments o! Caunties officials, showing that Durham appointees. numbering only five, receive $3500 in salaries. while Northumberland appointees received well over $20.000 in salaries. we also ponted out that the larger proportion o! the inmates of the House o! Refuge were Northumb- erland citizens. Prom the minutes o! last Junes Counties' Council session we are able to flnd that o! the 66 inmates o! the House of Refuge as on June lst, 1932. 39 came f rom Northumberland while only 27 came f romt Durham County. With this in mind one would imagine that the main expenditures at this institution would be charged to Northumberland County. It just goes f urther to prove our contention that wbile the majority o! the money is going to Nrrthumberlan-d in salaries, the mai ority is also be- ing spent on Northumberland inmates at the House o! Refuge. As far as the House o! Refuge is concernied we find that it costs approximately $8000 to operate an- nually, and most o! that money flnds a resting place in Northumberland County. Somehow the village o! Orono is able ta horn in oni a few of the expense items but Bowmanville merchants wha are doing their share, and more than their share in the upkeep o! Counties institutions. get no business f rom this in- stitution at alI. The bread is purchased fromt a Co- bourg concern and most o! the other supplies are purchased in the coufty town. Durham County is certainly entitled to a better deal than it has received in the past. The Counties positions must be more evenly divlded and the busi- ness created tbrough the Counties institution should be evenly shared between taxpayers n the two counties. Bowmanville contributes over $25.000 to the United Counties each year, and yet there is not a Bowmanville man holding a position in Counties admnistration or a Bowmanville merchant benefit- ting by purchases made for any institution. Beautif y Your Home Surroundings The season approaches when every homne-owner in Bowmanville and the surrounding villages o! Durham County should be giving thought te the beautifica- tion o! his premises and thus to the improvement in appearanc, o! his community. While horticultural work has enioyed a tremendous boom in this district in the last fev, years, there remains plenty af rooma for funther development. Every ufimpraved or un- planted home can be made more attractive by the judicious use o! trees, shrubs. flowers and well-kept grass. The aid saying that a home is fat a home until it is planted, very well emphasizes the necessity and wisdom o! planting. Further. the progre.ssiveness and thrift of a comn- munity or a nitnicipality are often reflected in its appearance and the best advertising that any corn- munity can do is ta present a pleasing. inviting appearance ta the wonlId--an appearance of prasper- ity and îndustry. reflect.,d. by well-planted and well- kept public and private grounds. Canadian Clubs - An Asset Perhaps citizens of Bowmanvilie do not f ully ap- preciate the value of the two Canadian Clubs to the town. The members of t.hese organizations have no doubt of the value of the clubs, but the general pub- lic who do flot attend the meetings should under- stand just what value the town receives in having a Men's and Women's Canadian Club. A glance over the list of very prominent speakers who have addressed these clubs in the past season reveals that perhaps no other type of organization could secure such a bevy of brilliant men. At these clubs during this season have spoken men like Gen- eral Sir Arthur Currie. President of McGill Univers- ity; Hon. Vince nt Massey. former Ambassador to the United States; Judge Hawley S. Mott. the pioneer of the Toronto Juvenile Court; and Hon. Dr. H. J. Cody. former Minister of Education, and President of To- ronto University. In addition to these outstanding men, several University of Toronto professors, every man a specialist. have addressed the clubs. What effect does this have on the town in gen- eral?' one might ask. It bas a more far reaching effect than one would imagine. These men always bring somethmng worthwhile. Both Men's and Wo- men's Canadian Clubs are glad to have with them at their meetings, representatives of the press, so that the gist of the educational features they receive are passed on to the general public, who appreciate the opportunity of reading what these noted men have to say on the vital topîcs of the day. Then, too, these clubs leave an effect because the speakers give the members somethmng to think about. They give them a broader view of life, and a clearer vision of the great problems that vex the people of the day. The members of the Canadian Clubs are in the main, the leaders of business and social life in the town. The benefit they receive f rom these club meetings is re- flected in the better leadership they are able to give, the clearer analysis they are able to make of local situations. and the keener intellect with which they are able to meet the pressing needs of the present troublous times. The Church In Its Relationship to the Home As intelligent ohurcb members, supporting. we be- lieve. with unfailing zeal and energy, our many churcb activities, and with boys an d girls in aur homes for whom we covet a personal and a very real interest in the extension of the Kingdom. we fin d aurselves pausing. ta ask sincerely and earnestly: Are the churches interpreting the message of the Gospel to the neetis o! the age? More important. we know, than dogmas, or creeds. is a vital communion witb Christ and a daily living out of His ideals and teacbings. Has the Church caught this vision? We have recagnized a growth in democracy o! spiritual 1fhinking. particularly among aur young people. Has the Churcb the larger vision of the social implications of the Gospel-o! its international implications? Without the vision the people perisb: with the vision. the wark is exalted, sanctifled. glor- ifled. This is an age. we know, o! fraternal organ- izations. of clubs. of many social activities o! the higbest type: Rotary Clubs. Samaitan Clubs. Citi- zen's Fiendsbip Leagues, and many others. ahl based on the teachinga o! the lowly Nazarene, wbo teld so simply. an d yet s0 eloquently, the parable of the good Samaritan on the hilîsides o! Galilee. These are in- deed commendable and most praisewanthy in their aims and achievements, but they must foi take the place 0f the church in the l! e o! a nation. Our boys and girls must learn te, love and venerate the sanctu- ary. But ihey will do so. only as they feel it to be a vital force in the lives o! its members, as they see it, aIent and efficient in meeting current needs. in a practîcal way filling those needs. While aur cbildren are with us. in oui' homes. we may successfully develop in them the praisewontby habit a! churchgaing. There will come a time. bow- ever. when these young people will thif k independ- ently. and rea.san out things for themselves, whether or' fot churchgoing, and church-aupporting, is wor- thy o! loyal consideration. This is as it should be- we desire that they should tbink and act independ- ently and honestly. They may be in a strange city, away f ram home. where it is so easy to grow careless an d indifferent. We want our churches to appeal to the highest and the best, that our young people may be inspireci. to be loyal. We believe most sincerely that the Church a! to- day can mneasure up. Churches neyer worked to- gether in community inteiests as tbey do now. Neyer was there such an enlargement o! vision. Neyer be- fore has there been the opportunity to learn so thor- oughly how ta interpret the social and international implications o! the Gospel. Bowmanville young peo- ple are interested and will co-operate - later to carry on' bigger and loftier than we have don e - If we will only undersiandingly 'stand by, with con- structive citicism and loyal support. Where George Was Born Same newspapers are disputing and discussif g where Rt. Hor,. Senator G. Graham was born. Al that concernis us la that George was born, and it was a gaod day for Canada when that event happened. It was samewbere. they dlaim. in the County o! Ren- frew. His father was an old-time Methodisi minis- ter, a good man, and a merry man, who, like bis son, cauld tell a good stary and tell it well. Senator Graham spent many years o! bis early life in Dun- das County. That is how he became popular and influential. Dundas bas turned out a numbet' o! good publie men, and while Senator Grahamn rnay fat have been bain in this County. bis best cbildhood days were spent here .-Winchestei' Press. The Court o! Appeal ha.' given a juiment ini fav- ai' o! the tawn of Southampton. which la a! interesi ta municipalities generally. In an action for dam- ages, s aid to bave been sustained by a faîl on a ide- walk, a resident was awarded $1000 damages. The council appealed the decLsion and has boen given judgment in its favor. Mare such î'eversals wauld have a tendency ta check rushe.s on the courts in the hope o! cllccting !rom the municipality. Adveisity brings out the best or the woî'st that is in us. If baî'dsbip makes us weak-kneed and wabbly. it is because we are lacking if strength. If we want to bide when affaii's go wrang, and leave somebody else to straigbten oui the muddle. it la because we are lacking in courage. If adversity makes us feel like rolling up our leeves and pitching in. hawever, you have met the test, and sooner on later, the victory will be oun;. Life cannot beat us if our strength and courage rise up gallantly te, meet every emergency.
