STUDENTS One Student Volunteers For Farm Labor-Giris Lack Entbuaiasm of Project Premier Hepburn's scheme to enlist-an army of "soldiers of the soul" got a severe knock on the head from pupils of B.H.S. when they met to consider it Monday night. Fifty or sixty pupils gath- ered in the auditorium of the High School and were addressed by Acting Chairman o! the Board, Dr. G. C. Bonnycastle.. When the boys were asked how many would care to sign the gov- ernment form registering them for farm work only one boy of- fered his services. The girls were even more reticent in stepping forward to sign up for selling War Savings Stamps. Not one was anxious to take up the work. After the results o! this en- lightening little quiz had been dis- cussed by several members o! the Board of Education who were present, the meeting was dismiss- ed and the pupils went home re- joicing that they would probably be able to begin their studies at the usual time after ail. k merican EioùonTour ~e Canada's, War Effort Ro tary Club Hears -Story Paper Adopti AUD.C Joining the ranks of news- papers which give authentic and accurate circulation statements, The C ana d ianû Statesman is now a member of the Audit Bureau of Circu- lations, which organization checks circulation figures of leadmng newspapers and ma- gazines in Canada and the United States.

Miss Jean Crossman, Haydon, won tenth prize at the C.N.E. in the public speaking conteat for school children under 15 years of age, on Monday. "Canada" was the topic for the competition, the first of its klnd at the C.N.E., in which 140 school children from ail over Ontario competed. Jean was wlnner of her group, making her eligible for the finals. At noon the winners were guests at the Women's Committee luncheon and were welcomed by Mrs. John Millar, wife of the C. N.E. President. Jean spoke on "Canadian Air- craft." Her address foilows: I"Every day over my home in the country aeroplanes are flying.

The other day Al. drop- ped into The Statesman office to offer for the editor's inspection the card issued by the Canada Registration Board dated June 22, 1918, slightly smaller than the new ones. It was signed by Jos- eph Pattinson, deputy registrar. Then he presented the certifi- cate of registration just acquired, dated August 19, 1940. On the dotted line o! this new token was the name, of Fed Pattinson, son of the man who performed the same office over 22 years ago. As pointed out in The Statés- man two weeks ago, there is more than chance enters in when some- thing of this kind happens in Bowmanville. Mr. Pattinson is Just one of several local men who have distinguished them s e 1lv e s carrying on the civic traditions established by their parents. Mir. Pattinson also had the honor of registering the oldest lady in town, Mrs. Jane Hall, 100 years old, mother o! Night Constable Walter Hall. We suggest to Mir. Bickell that he cherish both registration cards for who knows that by the time another two decades roll around we wîll be called upon to enroil to meet another challenge.

James was called on to give an account o! the good-will tour o! Ontario he recently made with twenty-seven editbrs fromn the United States. The trip was planned under the joint auspices o! the Canadian Weekly Newspapers Associ3tion, the Ontario Ts'avel and Publicity Bureau, and the Ontario Hotel Association, with the object'o! giving1the U. S. editors an oppor- tunity o! seeing first hand that Canada offers ail klads of attrac- tions for American tourists de- spite the fact that this Dominion is at war. It was also hoped that this trip would be the means of of!setting some of the faise in- formation that was being spread across the border to keep people !rom spending their vacations in Canada. Trtvelling in a large and lux- urious Grey Coach motor bus, the party was accompanied by Doug- las R. Oliver, Ontario Travel and Publicity Bureau, Toronto; R. M.

Here, an air armada o! 30 planes put on a show o! dive bomnbing, battie flights and fight formations, followed by a ban- quet in the Officers' Mess o! the R.C.A.F. Also, in every -place that we stopped - tue mfl]tary camps., tourist centers, and.cities, every- one joined in lavishing entertain- ment on us. On the tour, the visitors met some o!

RHis Majes- J ty's Government in Canada believes that Canadians gen- eraily will desire to associate themselves with the people of the United Kingdom in this observance.

The main floor and the basement suffered most frôm the explosion. It took about an hour to get all the guests out.

As usual the meeting was enlivened by the puns and sly humor o! Lion Char- lie'Carter. A belated presentation o! a 100 per cent attendance pin was made by Lion J. J. Brown to Charlie Searle who attended this meeting to receive his award. Although net proceeds from the carnival are not yet available, gross, proceeds which were given for the various booths show the evening was highly successful financially. Analyzing the vani- ous successes and failures o! each booth it was found that the crown and anchor game was "tops" for the evening. More tickets than ever were sold on the car, Lion S. James reported. News about the bicycle club revealed that they will soon make a trip to Oshawa on their wheels, guarded by a motorcycle escort, for an entertainment of the same type as they enjoyed in Peterboro about a week ago.4 One guest was present at the meeting, Mr. Davies, of the On- tario Department o! Agriculture. At the next meeting of the Fal attendance season an outstanding speaker will be heard. Large Attendance Ex- petted at Opening of Bowmanville Sehools on September 3.
