THURSDAY, MAY llth. 1933 Make Bowmanville Look Its Best On May 30th. the largest conference to be held in Bowmanville will open in Trinity and St. Paul's Churches, wben the Bay of Quinte Conference af the United Cburch will commence on a five day series af meetings. To Bowm.anville will journey for those meetings several bundred delegates f rom all over the Bay of Quinte District wich stretches f rom Brock- ville on the east ta, the borders of Toronto on the west. It is only natural ta assume that Bawmanvi.lle will wish to extend ta thîs gathering a hearty welcome, and with that welcome will wish to have the town looking it.s very best. If Bowmanville is to look its best considerable work must be undertaken by priv- ate citizens in the next few weeks. 'The first procedure in a dlean up campaign is to clear away rubbisb and while many have already ac- compllsbed this dlean Up idea it seems that the ma- jority bave yet ta do this much needed work. Once the dlean Up is accomplished, two other activities present themselves for consideration, beautification and painting. Under the heading of beautification cames garden planting and lawn improvement. Bowmanville stepped ahead in this regard Iast year and if the work started last year is carried on with the same enthusiasm the town wiUl look splendid for the conference. Then lastly, there is painting. There is not doubt that nearly hall the properties in town, including store fronts, are badiy in need of a coat of paint. The painting of a property at this time would serve a two-fold purpose, that of improvement of property in view of the visit of so many delegates to the convention, and aid ta unemployed. Painters in towni need the work, business men need the business, and properties need the paint for their own conser- vation. Let every citizen take an active part in this drive for a cleaner, brighter and more beautiful Bow- manville. Hospital Day in Canada To-morrow, Friday, May l2th, is Hospital Day in Canada, a day on which aur mincis are concentrated on the magnificent work done tbroughout the world by these institutions. Tbe word bospital is derived !rom the Latin "Hospitalis" or "Hospe" meaning a bo6t or guest. Tbrougb the centuries the word bas gone tbraugb many changes, but the word hospital still pîsys hast ta ils guests, the sick and siling. The oigin o! aur present bospitals is found in tbe ancient monastories where organized cane o! the sick was flrst eslablisbed. About the earliest distinct re- cord in British bislary a! bospitals wss in the time o! Lanfranc, Arcbbishop o! Canterbury in 1080. Lanfranc !ounded two bospitals in the modern sense o! the word, ane for leprosy and the other fan ondin- ary diseases. Since the first bospitals were opened wonderful changes in medical and surgical science bas been wrought, until today there is very litIle that the physician or surgeon cannot do. One bears o! remarkable operations. if surgeons taking parts o! tho body out and putting tbemn back in place wilb- out sny Ull resuit ta the patient. About a year ago we heancl o! a case o! a surgeon who while operating found bis patient bad died f romn hearl failure. He immediately made an incision unden tbe ibs, inserl- ed bis band and massaged the beart until il slarted ance again the circulation o! the blood. The patient, lived. There are few who would admit taday thal the bospital is not oneofa the finer institutions o! any community. In ils truest sonse il is a charitable in- stitution because the fees charged very seldam psay the expenses. Even if the hospital was a sel!-sup- porting pnojec' il would still be a distinct community asset. As it is today. plodding along against very beavy adds, Il is doing a greal service and il is wortby o! the strongest and most generous support the residents o! the communlly may give il. Bowmanville would be infinitely poorer witbout ils bospital, and wilhout those nable nurses, warkers and members o! the Board who give wllllngly o! Iheir lime and money so that the sick and ailng mighl receive the best of lreatment. Sport Needs Your Support Spring is bore, and besides the fadI that in the spring the young man's fancy turns ta thougbts o! love, the thougbt.s a! bth yaung men and maidens, ald men and women, turn to sparts o! vaiaus kinds. This week we shaîl know the schedule for the Lakeshore Basebaîl League in wblcb Bowmanville wiil be represented for the firsl lime in four or five years. Very sbortly, tao, a meeting should be called ta gel the softbafl league under way in town, and il is prosumed that the leagues througb the country will again featiure games duning the summer months. Soccer football, lacrosse, tennis, and other summer games will soon commence, and thal brings up the malter o! flnancing sport. In pivate clubs, like the tennis club, Ibis is dane by a membersbip foc, but in public sport where the general public benefits by the Ibrilîs o! the game, and where the tawn benefits from the adverlising il gels, the public have got la give their active support. It is impossible for sport ta be carried on unless Ibis support Ls !orthcoming. It is regrettable that there bas been a noticeable lack o! support in recent years. No one seemed ta cane wbether the town bas a bardbsll team or not. No one botbered Ibeir besd about looking ta the future for a bail ground. No- bady apparonlly bas flgured what Ibis town will do for sports f acilities if il sbould expand in the next few years. The publie witbout a doubt enjoys walching sports, but the majorily seem ta take al thbe fun tbey can gel withoul giving anything in re- turn. Vocal support is good sometimes, but ail the cheerlng in the world will flot psy for uniforms, new bals and balîs, on transportation. Those who want to aee Bowmanville gel abead, become mare than just a naine on the map, and ta become k.nown for the sportsmen wthln ils bordons. wlll bave ta give a great deal more active support ta sport in the town than they have done in the past four or five years. A Day Consecrated to Mothers Mother's Day again - a day consecrated to the mother o! every man, woman and chlld. Whether mothers be living or wbether they have passed an, this is stili their day. Those who have a mother wear a red flower, and those wbose mathers are in the Great Beyond wear a white flower-a beautiful practice. Those who are tbemselves mothers feel the bom- age of the world and of their own children. The sermons in the churches are for mathers, telling them bow fortunate tbey are ta bold that divine privilege o!frnotberhood, that opportunity of showing their responslbility, of inspiring their cbildren to the greater and nobler tbings of a Christian life. One wonders sometimes, whether the Young folk o! today. in their alleged craving for the fast if e of leisure and enjoyment, really appreclate their mo- thers. We think they do. Maybe they are not as expressive of this love as they might be, but nevethe- less tbey do love, honor, and respect that glorious woman who stands bef are them on the higbest ped- estal in the home - tbeir mother. Should the cyn- ics be partially ight in their belief that the Young people do flot show due attention ta their mothers, we cannot think, after readlng the following littie article from an ald scrap book o! the pre-automobile era, that they are any worse than they were many years ago. Under the caption "Remember Mother"I the article reads thus: "Did you ever put your arms around your dean old mother who has loved and cared for you and tel ber that you love ber, and are grateful for the tears she bas shed and the prayers she has offered for you? She may think that you love her without assuring her that you do. but it costs you but little effort to tell ber, and your wards may brlng more joy and suni- shine ta her beant than you ever dream of. Some Young men will psy two dollars for a livery rig to ride three bours with a seventy-five cent girl and tell her ail the nice things they can think of that are true. and a wbole lot more that are not, but do not spend five cents or five minutes in a year to show their mother that they care anytbing for ber." Problemn of Mental Deficients It is refreshing to note that His Hanar Dr. Henbert A. Bruce. Lieutenant-Govennor o! Ontario, and a former Durham County boy. is the leader in a new and much needed campaign for steilizalion o! tbe mentally unfit. The prablem o! the mentally deficient bas reacbed such a stage that unless sometbing a! a drastic nat,- ure is done, the nation will become one witb a very large percentage a! mentally unfit people. At the present time we see the bospitals for the insane f ull ta overflowing witb lîttle slgn o! an abatement. On- tario is fortunate in having bospitals a! this nature where mucb is accomplished for those who sufer f rom diseases o! the mind, but Dr. Bnuce's methad o! prevention rather than cure is cextainly more timely than the erection o!f further baspitals ta care for those unfortunately affected. Dr. Bnice's campaign far sterilization o! the unfit bas met witb approval tbroughout the province, flot only f rom the medical profession which he himself represents but also !rom business men and even the clergy. The preventian o! the growtb o! a genera- tion o! illiterates is a watby work and we are glad ta see that il is being led by a wortby son a! a pianeer Durham County family. Schoois to Observe Goodwill Day In a circular letter ta school inspectars and teacb- ers, Hon. Oea. S. Henry calîs upon the scbcols ta observe Tbursday, May 18, as "Goodwiil Day." This day is ta commemorate the opening of the Confer- ence o! The Hague on May 18, 1899. As a means ta binging about the settling o! international disputes by peaceable means the Hague Tribunal did mucb good. The League o! Nations, whicb was f ormed at tbe close o! the Great War, ta avert future wars, bas also accomplished a great deal in its fi! teen years o! existence. But the inculcation o! peace ideals in the mincis of the present genenation a! school chlldren is one that will comxnend itseif ta everyone. There are sixty-flve countries in the world and fi! ty-!our o! these bave signed the Covenant and are members o! the League. The scboal children o! Wales bave taken a leading part in the celebratian a! "Qoodwill Day." This year the text a! their message, whicb will be broadcast. is as follows: "Boys and girls o! ail nations, we, the cbildren o! Wales, once again warmnly greet you on Goodwill Day. In this sprlngtime o! 1933. there are, ail aven the eantb. millions o! cbildren who are un- happy because their fathers and brathers bave no work ta do. We do not know wby tbere should be so much sornow in a world whicb ta so beautiful and so much want In a world wbicb is so rich. We belleve that this would not happen if ail the nations ta, whicb we belong would live and work tagether as members of one family. trusting eacb other and en- joying tagether the riches o! the earth. We believe, tao, that by our thoughts we can belp ta bring this new spirit inta the world. Let us then on this Good- will Day, millions and millions o! us, unite in one great tbougbt af peace, peace between the peoples and peace between the nations. Wlth the faitb Ibat can remove mauntains aur tbought.s wll change the world." "We Must Share" The theme o! the sixtb annual meeting of the Eastern Section o! the Oshawa Presbylerial o! tbe United Cburch W. M. S., 'We Must Share" certainly ecboed the ideals that should permeate ail churcb activities of the present day wben so mucb want and need is apparent. That same ideal is thal wbich guides the members o! the Oxford Group tbrough their new and Cbristlike work, that of surrendering onesel! ta God and aiding in the bettenment of con- ditions for malikind in general. To carry lhroughout the year this theme in mind cannot but enbance the Christian wonk accomplished by tbe Women's Mis- sionary Society of this churcb, and a strict adher- ence ta Ibis principle by its members will do mucb ta alleviate present distressing conditions. There is something sacred about wages - they re- pnesent homes and families and domestlc destinles. On the cost sheet, wages are mere figures; out [n the world wages are bread-boxes and coal-bins, babies' cradies and chlldren's education, family comfarts and contentment.
