The Editor. The Problema of the Commdnlty Those citizens of Bownîanville Sund no doubt of other towns as weli) %who are tak- fig an active part ln the newly organizcd Ohamber of Commerce work, sud who make a point of kecping in toucli with what tic Board is doing, can not lbe criticized for becoming ratier impatient, ta put it uildly, at tic indiffereuce sud iack of co-operation on the part of thosc whose interests itic welfsrc of Bowmauville are just as- vital as are those of the:men who regularly carry on.1 It is quite a common occurrence taelicar otherwise sensible mren state eniphatic ternis that ""they" should do 'ths or tiat; or that "they " hould flot have doue it. Tiat vague "they" may be convenieuthy blamed fan evcrything and anything. But who are "they" if not tliemselv", Ahi bueiness -and professiouah meni are'argu- cd ta become members of sud iuterest theni- selves ini Chamber of Commerce work ini 1940. Sanie psy thir suaîl membership fee aud let it go at that. They deehune ta attend the meetings aud take no part whatever ini its asetivities. Yet wlienever a pranaunce- ment by a representative body is cailed for, or wheu caucerted action an any proposai is sueccssary, then the C. of C. is expectcd teU be "Jahnuy an the Spot." It is very fortunate that tiere are in al comununitica a sufficienÈ nuniber of men who have enougl inuterest in the welfare of tic commnmity ta keep such an arganiza- tien functioning; and it is a sad comment- ary au aur enterprise when it seenis im- possible te secure, out of a few hundred mcen who should be iuterested ini the C. af 0. undertakingîs, a s-mail quorum ta legiti- mately carry on a meeting. New is- the tume ta make resolutions for the new ycar, a ver3- excellent anc ta keep in mmmd would be anc praviding for a gi-ester interest in tic activit-ica of tieC.(1 of C., sud a determination ta attend as- many as possible of the meetings whiei will bc called tirougieut 1940. Just ta inipress it on yaur mind now the firat meeting of thc U. of O. in 1940, which is- alsa - the annual meeting, is siatcd for Friday. Jan. l2th. There is always somethung ta be deait with, snd each session senis ta develop as- the meeting proceeds, as members submit mat- tera for causideration. Cammittee reports aiea frequently bring ta the attention of members gencrally s-ore important matters which have been dealt with or which may at the tume be undue cansideration. Above ail, tic O. of C. is the anc body of business sud prafessional mcen which is eaul- cd upon te deal with sud pramate ail mat- ters which are ini the bcst interests of the comsnundty, as its members-hup is drawn frani men iu ail walks of life, and thus it -represents, as is the caàe with nao 6ther bod.y of men, a truc cross-section of 411 tic inkercsts in a.ny town or city. Thus ail those who have the best nterests of Bowmrville at licant siould be members ci sud setivcly support the Chamber of Commerce in la undertakings ini behlf of thc town sud district.

Every man has a secret place in his heart foat the old friends of boyhood, and fo~r many of us one of the noblest of these is the pancake. It is liniked in memory withi ancient yearnings: the smell of wood amoke, the taste of persimmans, the satisfying jait of an old sirigle-barrel shotgun, au iaûpen barrel of apples i the cellar, the wistful look of a faithful dog that once tagged at a boy's lieds. Why, it would be no mare heunous sac- rilege toa mear whipped cream on grand- *pa 's portrait than on pancakes. The ultimate satisfaction céae on thogo sharp* winter evenings when paneakse were served for supper. t was then that appetite clamored; then that yau had leisure ta savor each forkful; then that you groaned in sheer animâl cnjayment and letout the beit a notch at a time. On pancake niglit the family moved fram dining-room ta the oileloth-covercd* table in the kitchen, aud the cakes.leaped hot and golden from griddle ta plate. The incom- parable sizzle of batter on hot iran was music ta the car. We boys always staged an eating marathon, and it8 was a puny lad who stopped at lcss than a dozen.
