THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 13, 1941 An Unsavory Mess The Town Council bought some free pub- licity for Bownianville when they licensed siot-machines despite appeals from citizens and church and warning by the Chef of Police. But it was bad publicity. It reflected upon 'the charater of our citizens. When the city press reported police raids on several places of business, The Statesman got a call from a former Durbamite, now a city resident: " What 's wrong down there?1 . .. you were surely aware of the Attorney General 's warnng. We were obliged ta say: "Yes, we knew of it-so did the Counil; yet they licensed al'ot-machines and, cynically, knew they were1 doing just that, but they salved their consciences by issumng receiptu as '.amnuse- ment machines'." They bought dishonor, becaine partners ini crime ( a C.C.C. offense) and stultified the good name of aur town ct the price of tainted dollars. They knew what the out- corne would be-fines under. the Criminâli Oode. There la only anc deeent, honorable tfing remaining to be donc. Refund ftie icense money! And make publie apology ta citizens. Ethies alhould compel sharing fines because they were ac- ocasories before the fact. Concil met after raids and summ-onses but did nat even mention the matter. The issue la not clDsed. The Statesman made its stand and the public 's -stand perfectly clear in advance of Counil's decision. Scores of citizens have openly stated that this la one of the moat shameful tbings ever perpetrat- cd upon the town of Bowxnanville. The Counil's duty la pcrfectly clear. The Canadian Pacitic and Unity In this issue appears a pictorial suinmary of the history of the world'a greatest trans- portation systemn, The Canadian Pacifie. This year, it celebrates its sixtieth an- uivçrsary. No other systemn in the universe eau match the speed of its growth, from early, dubious tirnes when both finance and population were scarce, down ta the tim.e when it aehicved ita present eininenee. Today, this vast transportation unit of Eppire serves a rnast vital part iu the war e rt af the whole British Commonwealth of Nations. If has siiffered grievous losses upan fthc oean-but it carnies an, unruffled and immeusely moving. Canada and the Em- pire are thus r.caping the benefit of the res- olute enterprise of aur far-seeing fore- lathers. * The Canadian Pacifie is fortunate in hav- ing at its helm the direcfing genius of one -of Canada 's ablest executives, Sir Edward -Beaty, G.B.E., and upon the Directorate ;are twa natianally-known sans af Durham .County, Col.

Some weeks aga we spoke of fhelicees- sity ai building a glass industry for post- war needs. Now we suggcsf refoarestatian upan a national scle as a great post-war need. No matter what the frends toward inodernistie architecture, there wiIl be huge demands for lumber and timber front Can- ada. By fine and axe we ane slaughtcrng aur timber resaurces.

This is one of many things which, as post- war problema, necd marc thouglit ad at- tention flan at present ia accorded. New Houses Needed Within the pastfefw weeks fliere have been a score ai callers at The Statesman of- fice, whieh lias becu open evenings, who have aàked: '"' Are there any hanses for sale or rnufin Bowmanvillet" These people, mosfly, ire warking in fac- tories in nearby towns and lu Oshawa, where housiug accommodation is taxed ta cîpacîty. Many say, tao, tht they preler ta establiali homes in Bowmanvillc. Enquiry reveils that there are few, if auy, properties avaiable.
