APRIL l9th, 1934 Make the Town Spic and Span There are several important aspects off the Clean- Up and Paint-Up week which willi be observed in Bowmanville f rom Monday, April 23rd. until Satur- day. April 28th. Perhaps the most important aspect is that off leaith. Bowmanville's lealth record in the past few years has been one off which the town might well take pride. This record las been macle possible oniy through the co-operation off citizens with the Health Board, and wlat may happen when citizens do not co-operate is seen in the situation at the South Ward Dump, wlere a garbage collector has continually flouted authority and let the dump get into a dsgraceful condition. Intervention by the Health authorities and the police is likely to dlean up this matter. 'Unf ortunately there are a number off people in this towrn wha use their back garden for. a duinp, selclom removing the ever increasing garbage pile. This is a detriment to the heatl off children in nearby homes and every effort slould be macle during this campaign to rid the town off every back yard dump. Another aspect is that off civic pride and patriot- ism. Any citizen who deems Bowmanville a fit place ta live, should at ieast have enougl pride ta do his part in keeping the town dlean and tidy. There is nothing that gives a worse impression to a visitor than badly kept lawns and gardens, over run with garbage and tin cans. Citizens off this town, on the whole, are ta be comnxended on their civic pride, for the visitor lere usually gets a goocl impression off Bowmanville. Finally there is the aspect off unemployment relief and circulation off money Not only does the dlean up and paint up idea improve the looks and the value of the properties so treated, but wlere the ownier can afford it. and is able ta lire a man ta accomplisl the work, it serves it.s purpose off providing necessities for families badly in need off them. thus increasing buying power and beneftting business in general. Mayor Ross Strike's message on page 1 should be carefully read, carefully heedecl, and enthusiastically put imtopractice. Depression Responsible for Many New Goodyear Products It is an unifortunate trait off human nature for people ta unknowýingly deprecate the fimer things that immediately surrouncl them. It ls generally known that the local plant off the Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co. has a research department in Bowman- ville, but selclom if ever is it leard f romn in a public way, and neyer cloes it receive the public recognition lb so richly deserves. Superintendent Arthur M. Hardy, in his address at the Rotary Club on Friday, gave some interesting sideligîts int conditions in the factary, andl related briefiy some off the accomplishment-s off the research workers in the local plant. More especially during the past depression has it been f ouncl necessary to keep this department work- ing steadily in searcl off new products to manufacture te keep employees at work. The Goodyear plant at Akron, Ohio, lias a similar organization, but which gives its tinte entireiy over ta research. In Bowxman- ville the chemists do this in addition to bleir regular duties and it is interesting ta find that more new proclucts have come out off the local plant than have originated in Akron during these past two or bhree years. It miglit have been a sorry thing for the tawrn off Bowmanville lad not this department continuaiiy produced new products ta keep men employed. With the return off better times the plant is bound ta bene- fit by increased poundage production, '«hile the town is likely ta benefit greatly from increasecl empioy- ment. Wlen the tire cepartment was taken ta Toronto 17 years ago. it was generally conceded that the local plant was practically througl. At that time tle place off meclanical rubber goocla in the commercial if e off the country was flot recognized but due to the efforts off Superintendent Hardy and his loyal staff at the local factory, production in mechanical goods las become one off the major portions off Gooclyear's business in Canada. Editor Asks Co-operation and Consideration There are scores off friencis off The Statesman who furnial us quite off en wtl reports off various gath- eringa and socials that our iimited reportorial staff oould not possibly find lime to attend. We greatly appreciate tle service tlu.s rendered to us, and we are always giad ta receive these reports. ht offten happens however that space la flot available for Ileir publica- tion in f ull and we are obiiged to condense them, often much ta tle annoyance off tle writer. Readers will readily realize lIat The Statesman lias oniy so mucl space availabie each week for news. The only w.ay we, have off raking a living ia by the "dvertising, and therefore many colunins off apace mnust be given over 10 this revenue producing matter. The Statesman could not possibly afford ta add two pages because of an overabundance off news, for that would prove busine,,s suicide in a very short lime. The only thing lef t ta do is to boîi clown tle news ta fit in the available space, and thi.s pruning job is qulte as distastefful ta îlhe edtor as it ta to those whose etories mnust be pruned. We are governed largely by îwo factors in pubiishing neOws. Flrst is the factor off interest. Whie a stary mlight be of vital intere.st to a ,small club, il mnight not be off as great lntere-st 10 the buik off Statesman readersl.

Last minute news, unless it be the death off some very prominent citizen, a bad accident, important municipal news, or an announcement off vital interest to the public, will have t.o be boiled down. We hope our readers will continue to send us in the stories off their meetings, their social gather- ings and the intimate little thîngs thiat go to make interesting news items, but we do flot want themn to feel slighted if it is f ound neccessary to cut down or even omit their contributions occasionaliy. It is wth these thoughts in mind that this explanation off a situation peculiar to the newspaper business is macle. Does Cartwright Want to Maintain Another Highway ? Taxpayers off Ops, Manvers, and Cartwright Town- ships, and Victoria County Councils are considering the proposai to take over the oid C. P. R. right off way f rom Nestieton to Lindsay, turning it into a hîghway. Meetings have been held in Lindsay re- centiy when the matter has been thoroughly discuss- ecl. It is understood that the C. P. R. wiil dispose off the right off way for a nominai fee of $1.00 and that the government wili contribute iargely to the cost off having the right off way widened from 14 to 24 feet. The idea is to open this new road f rom Lindsay to Nestieton, and by linking up with Port Perry to join the No. 7 Highway to Toronto. Just what the benefits off this move would be are doubtful and in a.ny event the township concerned must think not oniy off the initiai cost, which in this instance is smali, but the upkeep which is an item which wiii have to be considered annuaiiy. At the present time the Cartwright farmer has a good outiet to the Provincial Highway by way off Bowmanville. No saving in time would be macle by iinking up with No. 7 Highway and it is doubtfui if the fevw benefits that might accrue, through the pro- vision off work for unemployed, would ampiy repay for the expense and upkeep off the new highway. To our mind a much greater need is the complet- ion off the paved road from Biackstock ta Caesarea. Each year this resort together with Williams' Point is becoming more popuiar with city people. It is within easy reach off the city and it is ideal for weekend trips. Every year improvemnents are being macle, andi every year more and more people are us- ing this resort. Therefore the compietion off the pavement is more a necessty than the other sug- gested work. Those in favor of the project urge "we must get away f rom the littie corner in which we live," and to this we miglit add that even under ex- isting conditions students from Biacksçtock attefided Bowmanville high schooi practically ail through the past very severe winter. Music Festival Plays Important Part in Cultural Lif e of County It la perlaps a uittle superfluous to appeal to the public to give its whole-hearted support to the ap- proaching Durham County Music Festival in Trinity Auditorium next monh. Bowmanville and West Durham is so musically inclined and educated that interest ,will very naturally follow tle festival tlrougl its several sessions. However. the Association nat- uraliy feels it has greater public support if it has a large membership behind its Board off Directors. Membership in the association is only 25 cents and while the member receives this fully in return by the privileges le enjoys at the Festival, it is not the fee so mudli as the knowledge off keen and active support that is important ta the hardworking coin- mittees wlo lave charge off the arrangements. Bowmanviile welcomes the return off the Music Festival to this town because off the important part it is playing in tle cultural life off the county. Music and culture are synonymous and a music loving peo- pie are a law abiding and good living people. Contestants must bear in mind however that the ultimate goal off the festival is not a gold medal or a shield, but rather la it tle education one receives in the practice and preparation and in competiting with others wlo are endeavouring ta improve tlemselves.i West Durham cloirs lave macle for tlemselves an enviable reputation and the festival contests tend to keep them up to pitcl at aUll imes. A sclool choir tnnder Mrs. Donald Robb off Orono recently sang at the O. E. C. convention in Toronto, whiie local cloirs have received generous commendation f rom news- papers in every tawn and city wlere they lave ap- peared. Music loyers and artists have macle a naine for themseives that is a real asset. afhd by competit- ing in tle various classes in tle festival, tley are able to maintain their standards and thus retain tle higl level off accompiishmenîtley lave attained. Editorïal Notes The deatl off Melvin J. Hutchinson off Toronto wil be greatly regretted in Bowmanville. Mr. Hutchin- son, wlo becamne one off the most prominent journal- iats in Canada. and wlo receivecl lis start in that profession with The Statesman. was one of Bow- manville's greatest f riends. Being a native off tle district, le neyer lost an opportunity off keeping Dur- ham County to the fore among his f riends. As Presi- dent off Toronto Rotary Club, largest in the British Empire, last year, Mr. Hutchin.on proved an out- standing man. Througlhlm the town off Bowmnan- ville is well and favorably known to lundreds off Torontos most prominent business men. who hold membership in that club. Bowmanville Raotary Club will miss him particuiarly. for it las been lis job for the past few years to provide tle speaker and program for Ladies' Night at the Club. In this way le las macle a distinct contribution ta tle Ciub's ac- tivities in Bowmanville. The leartfelt sympathy of ail in this district who knew hint, goes out to lis widow. four chiLlren. and lis sister, Mrs. Fred Honey off Bowmanville. The basebaîl season, dtspite recent snowstorms, will soon be with us, and might we suggest again this year, as we lave eacl year for tle past few years. that organization work be completed now, schedules drawn up, and when the playing field la ready, gel away ta an early start. An otherwise splendid series off bail games in the Town League were completely ruined last year because no final verdict as to a wln- ner was macle. An early stant wiUl leave ample long evenings for the completion off the schedule, but hanging around until île middle off June beffore a start la macle will only resuit in tle saine state off affairs as have existed in botl basebail and softbali leagues for same years. We are golng to have day- ligît saving lime f romn April 30th, 50 we migît just as well take advantage off il f rom the start. A very sincere and merited tribute was paid to Mel. Hutchinson at To- ronto Rotary Club at its weekly luncheon Friday noon at the Royal York Hotel by Past President W. J. Cairns, Manager off the Bell Tele- phone Co. Believing many off our raeswill be interested in the kindly feelings and higl regard f el- 10w Rotarians lad tawarcl Mel, as expressed by Ratarian Cairns, we publisl lerewith the report of the meeting in f ull as contained in the -Toronto Rotary Voice"; Last Friday's meeting was cevoted entirely to commemoration off our much beloved Mel.

He spoke feelingly off lis associations witl Mel. "I will miss him more than anyone knows," le adcled. Bill Cairns very adequately ex- pressed tle feelings off Rotary Club members in tle ffollowing terms- "*There is not a man in tbis room who will not understand me when I say my task is a difficult one. Our heads are bowed clown by tle sud- den blow. We are stunned by tle tragedy. I am sure I arn voicing your sentiments whîen I say there is one thing that cames to each and every one off us, that is, tlat we have bast a true friend, that most priceiess off human poSsessions.

He las been a real leader among us and we are going ta ffind il lard ta f il is place. But men, even in the midst off our sorrow we do f ind cause for tlanksgiving and even off rejoicing. There is flot a man antong us but who is ridher because le knew Mel. Our lives have been better because off Our contact with hlm. His man- ner off going is in itself cause for tlanksgiving, because I am sure if Mel. lad lad lis wish he wouid lave asked thatiti be so. His life was ai f ull iffe. He enjoyed liffe. It was a source of enjoyment ta any off us 10 corne in contact with hlm. He was busy ai ail tintes in goocl works. And s0 I say reverently that it seems to me God looked clown and said here is a good man. I need hlm and I will promote him int a larger splere off activityr My faith in things eternal would be shattered if I didnt think Mel. would keep on being busy in good works. And so, as we rnourn lis loss. we can look ahead ourselves wlîl tle realizablon that there is promotion that may corne ta each and every one off us in this life if we but earn 11. as Mel. did.

At the tinte off Us death he was also gen- eral manager off The Canadian Mag- azine, one off Canada's outstandinig monthly periodicais.

He was a charter meinber off the Edxnontoni Club, chairman off the first District Conference there, and was eiected District Governor off the luge terri- tory which embraced the area f rom ,Port Arthur, Ontario, ta Calgary, Alta. On lus return to Toronto he joined Toronto Rotary Club andlias been a mexuber ever since, Uis worth as a Rotarian being recognized by his election as Presiclent two years ago. Mr. Hutchinson will be widely mourned in Toronto and in Uis old home district off West Durham.

"While we are busy with our own sorrow may we turn aside for a lit- tie time and give thought to the family circle which has been se rudely shaken. There is that won- clerful wife off lis.
