With Which Is Incorporated The Bowmanville News VOLUME 79 Inspiring Yuletide Message is Given by Rotary Padre' Rotary Club Hears Unusual- '~ly Fine Christmas TaIk -1 Carols Are Feature of '~Friday's Meeting An inspiring Christmas message by Rotarian E. F. Armstrong feat- ured the Christmas meeting of the Rotary Club at the Balmoral Hotel, on Friday. President Tommy Ross presided and Rotarians E. F. Arm- strong and C. E. Rehder were pre- sented with bouquets in recognition, of recent birthdays. Mr. Armstrong gave his life history and Fred Cry- derman gave a humorous story of Ernie Rehder's eventful life. Rotarian L. W. Dippeil, Principal of the High School, who recefltly be- rame a proud father for the second time, was presented with numerous gifts for the new daughter. Mr. Armstrong's subject was "Christmas Spirit" and lie based bis remarks on the last line of a poem, 'I would look up, laugli, and lit ýnd love." Christmas is regarded as a festi- val of hope, a time to look up and look forward, he said, in bis open- ing remarks. Many must see* the things that are above the every day existence. He must look higher for inspiration. Man makes progress only by seeking companionship with personalities that are above him. He looks up and practises a spirit of optimnism. Let us look up, lie said, and in- spire courage. Let us look up to the Golden Rule and bring about a bet- ter relationship between man and man and between nation and nation. Speaking of mirth and laughter, the speaker likened Christmas to a rv.al of laughter. He believed tiethe Creator believed in a laugli- terful 11e, and lie thouglit that by the example of this 11e one wlfl avoid many discouragements and at- tain a better and more healthful spirit. It is a great sorrow, lie said, to lose the ability to laugli. If you have lost that ability, bring it back to minîster to your bodies, to your mincis and to your hearts. Live the lifting 11e, the speaker ~"urged further. Try and lift the world to a higlier plane of liappiness and you will be accomplishing that Iwlich I believe to be a Rotary duty. Finally there is love. Chistmas is a festival of good wifl. Love will bring about a sphere of worldwicle peace. Laughing is a great thing; lifting is a great thing; and tliey are joined together in one great chain by the con aiecting link of love. Supernationalisin is the curse of the world today. ExemplifIcation of the Christmas spirit throughout the year and to ail people will bring about a greater internationalism and a better mankind* My message to you A Rotarians. Mr. Armstrong said in conclusion, is *to out laugli, to out lif t and to out b>îove, and by out lovlng spread the spirit of Christmas tliroughout the whole world. President Tommy Ross expressed the very sincere appreciation of the club to the speaker for bis splendid message. Under the leadership of Rotarian Bert Virgin, Christmas carols were sung and a special treat was the distribution of lusciou.s Mc- Intosh Red apples, the gif t of Ho- tarian Bob Stevens.

Ward in Mayoralty Contest Reeve Lockhart and Deputy Reeve Jones for Reeve Councillors McLaughlin and Nelles For Deputy Reevel g TREND 0F BETTER BUSINESS IS SEEN IN CHRISTMAS RUSH Bowmanviile Merchants Report Better Business Condition Than Year Ago -People have more money and spent more Freely Christmas business showed a de- cided trend toward better times nearly a score of merchants along King Street report as they look back and review the business of Christmas week. In every line o! business, f rom. iewelry to dry goods and groceries the merchants are op- timistic for the new year with the undoubted sizns of freer spending. Not a few Bowmanville merchants expressed the thought early in De- cember that they would be satisfied if they did the samne amount of busi- ness as last year in Christmas week, but few of them exPected to reacli the levels of hast year. This week however nearly every merchants; tells a different tale. A regular spending spree featured the hast few shopping days before Christmas and daily averages iump- ed considerably higher when comn- pared with last year. There were few dealers in poultry who had one turkey or f owl le!t on Christmas eve, while somne report that they could have sold many more. Fruit and candy were bouglit in large quantities wîth the result that late on Christmas eve many stores looked pretty bare of Christmas merchan- dise. It is the general opinion of mer- chants who have with.stood several depressions that Christmas week's business presages better times for ahl. They see by the freer spending. and more money in evidence a decid- ed promise of better times for 1934. This is reflected also in reports !romn larger centres where businjess in- creases .iumped as higli as 100% over that o! last year. There can be no0 doubt that a steady improve- ment is being made, slowly and surely heading toward recovery. Cliild Welfare Conference will be held in Town Hall office eacb Fni- day f rom 2 p. in. to 4 p. m., starting Frlday, Jan. Sth. 1934. 52-2 Over 100 Families were Recipients oF Generously Laden Christmas Baskets Splendid Public Response to Appeal Makes Possible Distribution of Christmas Fare and Clothing to the Needy One hundred and thirty Bow- manville homes were made happier ast week-end, tbrough the splen- did efforts of the Women's Welfare Committee, and the generous nes- ponse of the public to that commit- tees appeal for funds to provide Christmas baskets for the needy. The council room in the town hall was a hive o! îndustry as the varn- oua churcli representatives packed their respective baskets for distri- bution on F'iday. The baskets wene generously filled with the necessi- tics for a wonderful Christmas din- ner and with added good thinga to make it an especial occasion for the kiddies. Besides the quality pro- visions the baskets contained meat, and cream, and candy and nuts, while many chllda'en received useful gif ta o! clothing. With an average of only three or four in each home, citizens will be able to realize that close to 500 people wcne provided with a better Christmas through the committee's work, and the donations acknowledged last wcek and also this week. The commnittee is desirous that their appreciation be expnessed to all who donated cash or produce for the baskets. The response was fan greater than they ever expected and thein work was considcrably ligliten- cd by this response.

Year's WorIc Revie Nominate 1934 Iý Other for Most Important Offices - Council Elected by Acclamation - Four New Men on 1934 Council Contests for offices of Mayor, Reeve, Deputy Reeve, School Board, and Public Utilities Commissioner, will feature New Year's Day muni- cipal elections in Bowmanville. Two barristers, W. Ross Strike, with several valuable years' exper- ience in counicil wonk to bis credit, will oppose W. F. Ward, a new mem- ber in the 1933 Town Council, for the position o! chef magistrate. Reeve T. H. Lockhant will defend h is office agamnst Deputy Reeve Reg. O. Jones. Both men have had sev- eral years' experience in town coun- cil and counities counicil, and this contest should prove one o! the keenest o! the election. Col. L. T. McLaughlin and Coun- cillor W. 0. Nelles, both retired gen- tlemen and members of this year's counicil, will contest the Deputy Reeve's ceat. Botli have had several years' expenience in council. The six councillors were elected by acclamation. Sevenal new faces will appear on the Board. Former mem- bers elected are Counicillors Neil Mutton and Sid Little of the 1933 council; former Councillor W. J. Martyn, wlio is also a splendid work- er; and three new men, W. H. Bet- tIcs, proprietor o! the Bowrnanville Dairy, Lawrence C. Mason, locar barrister and Harold Moses, well known in Canadian Legion activities. Three School Trustees will be el- ected f rom the four who qualifled. Fred W. Nelles, John Hately, and Cliairman Fred Cryderman are ag- ain offering to serve on the Board, while Forrest A. DilUing, a newcom- er to the field, is also seeking office. Chairman of the Public Utilities Commission T.-H. Knight will be op- posed for ne-election by William Brock, who in years gone by was a memben of counicil. Commissioners are elected for a 2-year term. Of course the new council's work for the year will be influenced con- siderably by the leadership they re- ceive f rom the Mayor, Reeve and Deputy Reeve. Unfortunatly during the past year numerous sharp divis- ions featured the council sessions. apparently more on personal grounds than good iudgment. It would seem that whoever is elected for the three main offices these divisions will con- tinue unless effort is made to secure harmony in the counicil to replace the chronic opposition that lias un- f ortunately featured this year's counicil meetings. DARLINGTON AND CLARKE COUNCILS ARE ACCLAIMED Darlington Township Counicil was elected by acclamation for another termn at the nominations on Fnictay. The members are: Reeve-Geo. F. Annis. Deputy Reeve-A. L. Pascoe. Councillors-A. W. Annis, C. M. Carnutliers, C. A. Blanchard. Apparently satisfied with the ser- vices of the 1933 Council, Clarke Township ratepayers re-elected their counicil by acclamation at the nom- ination meeting. Many others were nominated but declined to run ag- ainst the old members. The 1934 Counicil will be: Reeve-F. B. Lovekin. Deputy Reeve-F. T. Coucli. Councillors-T. A. Reid, J. W. Patton, A. McKay.

Thene was no undue amount o! interest shown and the council room was not f uil. Six were nomin- ated for Mayor, tliree for Reeve, and five for Deputy Reeve, wlien the nominations were closed by Town Clerk A. J. Lyle sharp at 8.30 o'clock. Complete list o! nominations are given at the end o! this story. Mr. Lyhe, wlio was unanimoushy appointed chairman o! the meeting called upon Mayor Geo. W. James as the finst speaker. "I think the actions o! the past two Years speak for themselves." the Mayor said. He commented brie!ly on the finances t0f the town stressing the great im- portance of tax collections, and urged the cooperation of the rate- payers to meet the situation. Com- menting on the work o! the vanlous coînmittees, the Mayor stated that alI had preached economy. We are still facing a strqpuous situation, lie added. and I urge you to select the best men possible to serve the town in the ensulng year. I see no opportunity for tax ne- ductions in the near future, because the burden o! unemployment relief will be an added bunden to, the civie treasury next ycar. He also urged that a strong Reeve and Deputy Reeve be sent to the Counties' Coun- cil to figlit Durliam's battle for a f air settlement of the contentlous bridge question. Mr. James thouglit that the town liad been excellently repnesented at the Counties' Council this year. The Board o! Healtli o! which lie had been chairman had practised economy and had saved $500, whlle he was pheased with the progress the Public Utilities Commission liad made. Commentlng funthen on the work o! the past year, the Mayor sevenehy crlticised two actions of council, the f lrst the forcing of the resignation o! Couiicillor W. R. Strike, and the second the passing of the Weigh Scales bylaw, rcquinlng coal mer- i chants to wcigh all coal and coke on the town scales.
