THURSDAY, JUNE 28tb. 1934 A Distinctly Cormunity Service Speaking at the Salvation Army Re-unioni in Bow- manville last Thursday, Col. Levi Taylor, former div- isional bead of New Zealand, Col. Edwy White and Major G.ertie Hollande made many compliufentary remarks about The Statesmafi. It is s0 cominon ta receive criticism for mistakes, and s0 rare that one is comrnended on their everyday work, that their re- marks are worth editorial comment. These Salva- tion Armny veterans classified this newspaper as the "greatest smafl town newspaper ln Canada" and be- lng Salvationists we know they meant just what they said. We are naturally proud to receive commenda- tion such as this f rom officers of this calibre. As we have endeavoured ta point out before the opera- tion o! a newspaper is different to that o! any other business. It is distinctly a commuiiity service, with the profit motive a secondary consideratian. In most businesses the profits corne first and commuity ser- vice second. No newspaper can succeed unless it fearlessly upholds that wicb it believes ta be for the betterment o! the comxnunities it serves. We have ever endeavoured ta, uphold the great traditions o! the Fourth Estate, and with the knowledge that we are appreciated for our efforts, will came an acceler- ation of our desire ta, accornpish more for the corn- mnunity as ime goes an. We appreciate their kind remarks and the encouragement that cornes with them to aim for bigher things. Your Help Is Needed Bowmanville Rotarians are now busily engaged in the preparations for their annual carnival, which is scheduled ta be beld in Rotary Park in August. The Rot.ary Carnival is deservedly one of the most popular annual events mn Bowmanville, and it bas gained its popularity because of its philanthropie and humnanitarian work . The praceeds are devoted to restoring crippled children ta normalcy, and what finer cauoe could any of us wish ta join in sponsor- ing. Not one cent of the maney raised by this car- nival is u.sýed for Rotary's general activities. Each mnember pays quite a substantial f ee each year, and f romn the aggregate of these fees is paid the fees of the International organization and ail running ex- Penses. The weekly luncheons are paid for by the members individually each week and cost the Club as an organization nothmng at ail. The publlc in general knows litle of the Rotary Club's crippled cbildren's work. because it bas ever been the desire of the club to carry on its wortby Pursuits witb a minimum o! publicity. True, public- ity is given ta its weekly meetings, but that is ta pass on ta our readers sorne of the inspiration club members receive in the addrsses they are privileged Lo bear. The work among crippled children, how- ever, runs into an expense o! many hundreds a! dol- lars each year. Sornetimes a single case will cost several hundred dollars when it is found necessary ta send the child to a Toronto hospital and ta aid iLs recovery with the use o! expensive orthopedic ap- pliances. However, the work goes on week in and week aut, and the only ime that the public hears o! it is wl-en the club cornes ta it for support once each year. The Rotary Club is, after aIl, only the agency through which this fine work is accornplished, and the Public are the real backers. Unless the support o! the entire district is obtained the club cannot carry on. The Work must be carrled on, and crippled children mnust not be allawed Lo carry their deformi- ties through lie. Therefore the Ratary Club appeals ta the people o! West Durham ta support thema through the means o! the Carnival, and ta give as generously as possible ta a great cause. Your help 18 needed - will you give it? Bowmanville Gets Nothing Each year the Federal Government brings down its estimates in the bouse, and for mnany years we find that Bowmanville bas been completely neglected in regard ta public works. In the estirnates brought down this week the town of Port Hope receives $30,000 for a wharf extension at its barbour, while Oshawa will get $100,000 ta spend on its harbour. It seems unfortunate that through lack of recognition by the Federal Govern- ment, the finest barbaur on Lake Ontario, here in Bowmanville was let deteriorate until it was practi- cally useless f rom a commercial viewpoint. Two weeks ago a dredge did make some smnall improve- Four Signposts of Life John Pontius, former Qeneral Secretary o! t.he Y. M. C. A. at Columbus, Ohio, and now, a resident o! Buffalo, in a recently delîvereci Toronto address dis- cussed certain signposts o! the future. He nameci a number o! signposts which have been le!t by man at varlous stages during the march f rom the jungle stage La civilization. The irst was Understanding, or the power ta thlnk for oneseif, which brought man out o! the jungle. There is n0 understanding, he saici, until we faced f acts and thought thlngs out for ourselves. Next came Sympatby, a spiritual develop- ment. Self lsh thlnking was always jungle tbinking, andi the speaker derlded the souncinessa o! the old adage that sel! preservation was the flrst law o! nat- ure. Co-operation be placed as tbe f lrst principle of life. Third was Love, spiritual rather than sclentiflc, and fourth was Mutuality, a scientific achievement resulting f rom an appraisal of things which people bold in common. A few words of friendship and en- couragement may bring about a tremendous change in the outlook of every man who is dowkn and out. The whole could be summed Up in the speaker's final words "tbat's fellowship." WhNo Governs the Country ? Wth the election campaiga now hlstory, and the elated victors planning for the future, and the losers wondering just bow it ail happened. it gives one time ta tbink out just who won the election. 0f course the Liberals wifl say the Liberals won it, and had it been a Conservative victory the Conservatives would have made the same boast, but reaily it was neither won it. The fact is apparent that iL is flot the staunch old Liberals or the staunch aid Conservatives t.hat win any election, it is the open minded citizen who does not consider iL bis business to be tied for 111e to any particular political party. The 11e long party man may be the man wha does the bard campaign work, but it is the mani who votes wba makes a govern- ment, and it i3 the mani who changes bis vote who wmns for or de! eats a government. The Liberal vic- tory was flot won by the Liberals, but by that great army of citizens who refuse to be tied. to the apron strings of any politcal orgamization, but vote as their conscience and their good common sense guides them. And it is these people who gavera Canada. botb Fed- erally and Provincially. And This A Civilized Country one political leader i the recent election cam- paign said o! the other that he "sbould bang bis bead in shame." Canada itself might take that expres- sion unto itsel!, as daily the Stevens Investigating Cornmittee aL Ottawa reveals conditions wbicb this Dominion sbould neyer have, or now talerate. Que- bec sboe factory was reported as paying 24 boys an average o! $2.22 per week, wbile the average wage for women lu the plant was $6.83 per week. Seventy- one men and boys lu this same factory bave been paid this year weekly earnngs of $471. Is IL any wonder that Mr. Stevens causticai.ly commented that the wages were "scandalous1y low."~ Minimum wage laws have been f louted anid the right o! bumanity La decent living conditions bas been questioned. Canada might well bang its bead i shame, that such con- <itions are permitted ta exist lu a Christian country andi in sa called enligbtened times. How the Editor Geta Rich Af er a great deal o! worry and study, says an ex- change, we have at lasL f lgured out how soarnany country E:ditors geL ricb. Here 13 the secret o! their success. There is a chilci born-in the vicinity. The attending physician geLs $10. The editor gives the youngster a great send off and geLs $0. IL is christ- ened andi the minister geLs $5 and the editor gets $00. It grows and marries. The editor then publishes an- other long wînded flowery article, and tels a dozen lies about -the beautiful and accomplished bride." The minister gets $10 and a piece o! cake. The edi- tor gets $000 and a request ta carry the groom's sub- scription account another year. In the course o! ime she dies. The doctor geLs $5 ta $100 and the minister gets f rom $5 ta $100. The editor publishes a notice o! death and an obituary two columna long, lodge resolutions, and a lot o! poetry. and a card o! thanks, and geLs $0,000. No wonder sa many country editors get rich Innings of Life's Failures It is fortunate that there are not towns f ull o! men who go up and down, and out anid around La wbisper in the ears o! the susceptible startes o! this, that and the ther thing being wrong, that only tbey can put the world rigbt, that ail in positions o! trust are irresponsibles, that the press is on the wrong side o! most things, especially their pet scbemes for de- struction whicb in their puny mincis are given flrst place. True, indeeci, those wbo thus spend theer ime have littie business of their awn, litIe home loyalty. little constructive ability. But, fortunately the world 13 not aIl so constituted. in iL are many big men, with strong. active mincis, meni wha do things wartb while who believe officiary bonest, whp speak out in the open, who find the press a great ally. As ta the last for example there is Lord Londonderry, secretary for Air in the British Government, wbo quite recently, wben speaking o! the press said, "we f ind the press men fair and helpful, sparing in their criticism and generous in their praise." And what is said o! the press may be said quite truly o! men lu public posi- tions and officiary wbo serve the people. Long ex- perience has taught that it is only life~s failures who are always posEessed o! the thougbt that others can- flot succeed or render hanest public service. Again, fortunately. the aggressive go on regardless o! the whispering maligners and scandaimongers.

CORRECT. TINKING ON ESSENTIALS (From Christian Science Monitor) One reason why somne men are successful and others are not is that the really successful ones deal with esssentials rather than nonessent- ials. IL would be impossible to find an instance of a truly successful man whose thaughts are predomin- antly an that wbich is petty. unim- portant, or nonessential. The word "essential'" 13 derived from the Latin noun essentia, f romn esse, ta be; hence essentials are things o! paramount importance or indlspensably necessary. Non essen- iaIs on the other band. are things a! less consequence, comparatively unimportarit. What does iL mean to think right or essential thoughts? An idea is the exact representation o! an orig- inal. If, for instance. we would haxe the right idea o! God, our thinking must coincide perfectly with wbat His nature and esrence are or im- ply. If we think o! Him as sending sickness to Is hlir r a e sponsiblc. for our departing from holiness <wholeness) andi commit- tng sin-when, according La the Bible, He is Love and therefore can- not inflici. isease upon His child- ren or sanction sin-our Linkingý does flot.coincide with His true char- acter, and we are entertaining false concepts about Him. Christian Sci- ence teaches also that Qed 13 synon - ymous with Life, Truth. Saul, Spirit. Principle. If we maintain the right idea o! Qod aur thinking is properly based. and does flot depart from the qualities andi attributes these synon- yms connote. Thinking essential thoughts also means that one takes a large view of things. It Zesults in a simplifieci philosophy of 11f e. since correct thinking discards pettiness and triv- ality. It niakes one forsake a par- ochial. provincial, or prejudiceci opinion, and enabîrs hlm Lto see things andi circunstafldes in the right Light. GOOD CONVERSATION One o! the best def initionis o! con- versation was that by the English scholar. Sir John P. Mahaf!y-"ýTo aite up what others saY in easy commuent, ta give in return saute- thing that will please, ta stlxnulate the sulent andi morose out o! their vapors, andi surprise them into, good humor, ta leaci whlle one seems to !ollow-thls is the real alm o! goaci conversation."
