THURSDAY, JUNE 8th. 1933 The Conference a Great Success The Bay of Quinte Canference bas came and gone, perhaps for another 25 years. but witli its gomng Bowmanville is lef t the richer by new friendships made and new inspirations secured. The sessions could not but bring a sense of the greatness of church work ta those wba were privileged te attend them. Sa many men wha have made a name for themselves in cburch 11e were present te speak that one could not leave the sessions without a sense o! having gained something iniinitely worthwhile. The Conference outside of Its spiritual significance bas been of importance ta Bowmanville. Hundreds of dollars have been lef t in the town by the vlslting delegates. Approxlmately 2500 meals were served during the sessions, whicli naturally brouglit a wave of buylng, such as the town bas net seen li many mnontbs. Then, too, merchants and business men in general have proflted f ram the visit o! the ministers and laymen bccause f ew could spend the five days in Bowmanville witbout spending some money. Then te go ta another side of the question, one sees the many new friendsbips made between delegates and their hosts and hastesses. Bowmanvile bas al- ways been hospitable and this sentiment was ex- pressed again and again by visitars during the con- ference. The conference was proud of the manner in which Bowmanville prepared for the sessions. and rightly extended grateful appreciation ta W. Ross Strike, Chairman of the Conference Comniittee, on whose broad shaulders rested mucli of the responsi- bility for the success of! the meeting. To C. H. Mason and bis assistants on the billeting committee ap- preclation was also expressed, and this commlttee. too, was most deserving of the praise accorded them. Their work was not the most pleasant of the con- ference, but tbey handled it wlth d.plomacy and ef- ficlency so that everyone seemed satisfied. The Bay of Quinte Canference bas been glad to corne to Bow- manville and Bawmanville will be glad to again play hasts ta the conference li some future year. Expressing One's Appreciation It was refreshing at Monday's Town Council meet- i.ng ta hear a letter of appreciatian f rom the Can- adian legion Band for the grant of $100 made by the council at its previaus meeting. The council seemed quite surprised ta receive a letter of this nature, so surprised in fact tbat it was moved that the letter be received and "f ramed." It seems too bad that one has ta admit that it is true tbat a great many people are net grateful enaugh for the merdies of 1.1e ta express their grat- itude in a tangible way. The trouble seems ta be that people expect so mucli and get so mucli that they fail ta appreciate the intninsic value af a kind deed. Shakespeare enunciated a great trutb when lie in- cluded in bis play "As 'Yeu Like It" the followmng words, "Blow, blow, thou winter wind. thy taotb is neot so unkind as man's ingratitude." If people only realized what a joy there is In knowlng that same- thing one bas done is appreciated they would net be so slothful in expresslng that appreciation. To serve on the Town Council is a thankless Job, but it is such littie things like the receipt af a letter expressing thanks for samething the council bas seen lit ta do, that takes the sting out of the criticism and puts heart inta those wbo give of their tinie and ability in managing the affairs of the town for a seemingly ungrateful people. Lots of Money for Investments Those who are still sitting pessimistically in the background, bemoani.ng bad times, and littie expect- lng tbat gaod times wil ever return, should take a littie heart f rom the success of the Province o! On- tario $25000,000 bond issue of last week. Within the space of 48 hours the entire issue, of bath shart and long term bonds, was aver-subscrlbed. In times like the present it la a remarkable record. It shows two things. It shows that there is stili an abundance o! money availabie for tnvestment. And it shows that the investing people of this province have abun- dant confidence in the fInancial position of Ontario. Had that confidence beeu lacking. It would bave been a bard task ta place this large issue. But there is plenty of faith li the future, not only of Ontario but o! the whale Dominion, and so the $25.000.000 re- quired was soon forthcoming. Tue quickness wth whlch the bond issue was sub- scribed is encauraging, since it indicates that there bas been no lessening of public confidence in the government of the province, and that is essentiai if there is ta be a heaitby public opinion in Ontario. Individual Effort Essential Tue responsibility of the individuai, rather than dependence upon the state, was empbasized recently ln an address by Hon. H. H. Stevens, Minister of Trade and Commerce, at which the editor was pres- ent. A great deal o! criticism is beard these days ta the effect that "Democracy bas faiied," because ev- ery individual 15 not provided with wark at remun- eratian that will exiable him and his family ta enjay tbe comforts and pleasures of 111e with littie effort. 1 l th .way f car-Ad __ -,on ispat. o -uc about scarcity of meat. A temporary relaxation of the game laws permitted the killing of wild game sufllcient to furnish meat for ail who wished to avail themfselves of the offer. It is impossible for one half of the people to provide for the other hall in idieness be said. The country is becoming aware of this fact. Tbousands of those on relief are seeing the impossible position in which the country will find itself unless a change is efiected. and by willingness to return to the land and in different ways are showing a cesire to again becorne self supporting and to regain their independence. Individual effort and responsibility is paramount in these times. Letters to Editor Welcomed Tue Letters to the Editor column of Tue States- maxi is a forum in wbicli aur readers are given an opportunity ta express themselves on the problems o! the day axid one in whlch not a few gaad sug- gestions for solutions cauld be put forward. Most papers gjve a good deal of attention ta their letter columns. and often tbey are among the most interesting departments. '1 write ta Tue London Times" bas been the traditiaxial resource of the Brit- ish with samething ta kick about or an idea to put farward for generations, and indeed Tue Times prob- ably pays more attention ta, letters tlian any other paper. Several columns a day are given over ta the publication of letters and one af tliese columns is devoted to extracts f rom letters which even Tue Times does not feel it bas space to print li full. I.t is a mistake, however, ta think tbat there is an obligation upoxi a xewspaper ta publish ail the let- ters it receives. It is glad ta get the letters, but it wants ta, be sure that there la no maliciaus ixtent in tbem, that tbey will not do unnecessary harm. It will not require tbat the opinions expressed sbould agree with its own views, but would prefer that tbey should not treat the clierisbed beliefs of others with taa great violence. Thus if you want to criticize or praise or make a constructive suggestion, get out your pen and paper and write a letter to Tue Statesmax-and if your letter is not too long we'Il be glad ta receive it. but get it in early. Did Not Know the Apostle's Creed We were a litte surprlsed at one tbing whicb bappexied during the Bay o! Quinte Conferexice ser- vices in Trlnity Church. On the opening day an impressive Holy Communion service was conducted and in the course o! that service the Apostle's Creed was repeated. Tue surprise was wlien those wbo bad hymnaries bad ta turn ta the Creed ta read it, while those wba did not bave hymnaries just bac! b let the creed go by witliout saying it at aIl. The Apostie's Creed is considered ta be tlie basis a! the Cliristiani religion. It is i reality a profes- sion o! wby oneie l a Christiaxi, and as a Christian what one believes. Tueref are it does seem a littie out o! place that delegates ta a big Christiaxi con- ference shaul'I not know by heart every article a! tlieir belle! as cantained in the Apostle's Creed. But there it 1. Tue creed was a part o! the service. About one-third knew it off by heart, another third bad to read it f rom the liymnary, while the remain- ing third failed even ta repeat ItL Exploitation by Financial Buccaneers Il is not because the capitalist system bas failed, but because the system bas been manipulated, abused and exploited by finaxicial buccaneers, says the Este- van Mercury. that bumanly fabricated social and ecoxiomic structures are in present penil o! utter wreck. Champions of the under dog in tlie savage struggle for existence, denounce the accumulation o! capital by those wlio bave moat at the sore cost a! those who have little. But their protests and par- ades, their deflance and occasional vialence bave been mainly abortive because o! tlie mystery sur- rouxiding the methods by wbich evexi division o! wealth bas been evaded. Tue disclasures o! the past week or so at Washingtoni tbrows a great llght on the game. Five million dollars is so far adniitted by the great banking firm a!

By this method industrial stocks were sold at enormously li- flated prices anxd the profits added to the million- alre's hoard, leaving the poar ta start again the hope- less attempt ta save from their wage pîttance. Home Town News The importance o! home town news li the sanal town paper bas been empbasized by a large gather- ing a! editars o! the smaller Aniericaxi newspapers in New York. Local xieeds and littie persoxial items, It was sbawn, possessed the strangest appeal for their readers.

That does not mean that a maxi in a small town bas no lnterest li world affairs. lI many instances, lideed, it will be !ound that the editors o! small towxi newspapers are exceptianally well-inforzned upon world affairs.
