THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 14, 1933 Big Program Ahead fer Business Men's Association For some years The Statesman advocated the need of a league basebali team in Bowmanville, together with the need for an ideai field on which ta play the gaine. The matter hung fire for several years with no one ready ta take the initiative, ail apparently of the opinion that it couid flot be accomplished. The matter was finally taken Up by the Business Mens Association. and aimost bef are the town has realized it. the basebaUl field become a reaiity and Bowman- ville*s league team has completed its first season. It did flot prove Sa harci af ter ail when a few inter- esteci men gaI behind the project and gave it the necessary push. To aur mind. if the Business Men's Association had accomplished nothing more, it has justified its existence this year by the splendid work it has accampiished this summer. Having taken the initiative in this matter the Business Men might well consider other projects greatly needed in the town. As the originator of the suggestion that Bowmanville mark its 8th birthday as an incarporated municipaiity in 1933. The States- man is naturaily somewhat disappainted that no en- thusiasm vas shawn in the town, whiie many oid Bowmanvilie boys and girls would have given much ta see this event staged. However. it is flot too lte ta make some recognition of the year, and we hope that something will be clone before 1933 passes mbt histýory. As the tîme approaches for the re-opening of the Business Men's Association faîl activities, ather warthwhile endeavours that might be warthy of con- sideration came ta mind. Vie notice that in Cobourg a big community street carnivai is ta be staged ta provide funcls for the erectxon of a new bandstand. This is aiso a Bow- manville need, and we would like ta sec a handsome bandstand erected in Rotary Park, through public effort. A further effort should be macle ta imprave Rotary Park as a playgrouncl and recreationai cen- tre for the tawn. We fictice in Memorial Park, seats were presented by Rice & Co. and we suggest that this firmn and severai others combine ta provide a number of seats for Ratary Park. Ail that is needecl is a littie effort by a few live business men. The Business Men might do warse than sponsor same event ta provide the Legian Band with uni- forms. It is ta the general interest of the town ta have a smartiy attired band, and as the band has taken the initiai stand by coing its share at ail pub- lic funictions, and has raised a considerable sum ta- ward this abjective, the town shauid help raise the remainmng funds needed ta purchase uniforms. The Business Men's Association is ta be commend- ed on the steps il has taken ta imprave the town in many ways, and il wili be the sincere wish ta the community at large that the Association have an- other successful year ahead.J Citizens Demnanci Immediate Action The Ontarioansd Fedenal Gaveruments have reach- ed au agreement whereby public wonks will be corm- menced la pravide wark for unemplayecl lhnoughout the Province. We offer as a suggestion 10 the Gov- enmenl, the 0f t repeated requesÎtIhat th, C. P. R. ovenbead bridge at the wesî end of the town, whicb has for yeans been the bane of motonisîs, be tor dawn sud slnaigbtened on replaced witb a subway. We understancl the agreement between tbe C. P. R. sud the Dominion Railway Board regarcHng this bridge expires next year sa Ihat local authonities shaWld leave no atone untunued ta gel Ibis wonk un- derway this year. Successive Mayors of Bawmanville have interview- ed government officiais with regard ta the malter and Ex-Mayor M. J. Elliait had success in his grasp, or rather apparenîly in bis grasp, wben gavernmenh surveyors aclually sui-veyed the work sud slaked"Il out. The malter cnded as it has ended a score of times before with the excuse that the Dominion Rail- way Board, unden wltose direction tibe bridge is conlrolled, had no funds ho complete the job. That excuse has become a joke, and is recognjzed by the public as Just camouflage behiud which the Board endeavours la shirk its duties. If money is ta be expended on public works, sureiy nohhing fluer cauld be accamplishcd than the safcguanding of the motoning public. The bridge, due lu the sharp turu. bas been a hi-sp for scores of motoists in the past few years, sud msny thousands of dollars damage bas been donc ho automobiles ho say uolbing of the ioss enhailed through injuny ta passengers. The Ontario Governmenî is appaîcntly auxiaus ta bande projecîs that arc necessany sud ueedful sud we direct la their attention this bridge as anc of the most need.ful of many Ihings that the gaveruînent may accamplish in its relief program of public warks.
