A VOLUME 87 BOWMANVILLE, ONT., THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 11, 1941NUER3 AGED *EX-REEVE SPEAKS -HIS 1M1ND -'ON ROAD QUESTION Darlhngton Counoil Objecte To Presence 0f Reporter. S A brisk breeze gaily flaunted a Union Jack from Darlington Township Hall in Hampton as the council met Saturday afternoon ta transact whet proved ta be a minimum o! routine business. After Clerk J. D. Hogarth reed the minutes and bef are other business was transacted Reeve W. R. Pickell asked the reporter pre-1 sent: "Do you wish ta address council?" He didn't. Apparently a littie nonplussed the several councillors wanted ta know wby be was present, but1 when it was explained that the editor o! The Statesman simply asked hlim ta lie present at a regu- lar public meeting the reeve gra- ciously announced IlWell, let's go ahead." During the reading of comn- munications a bîgh wind, constant ringing o! the telephone and coal being sbovelled in the back en- trance prevented anyone from bearing, but it was later learned on good authority that little was missed. Ex-Reeve on the WarPath The brigbt spot of tbe after- noon (incidentally tbe meeting lasted from 1 p.m. until 5) was the arrival of Darlington's 86- year-old ex-reeve, Thomas Baker of Saline. 111 have something ta say ta coundil," be declaimed. The story that follawed told how tbe road up bis way bad been used, mis- used, abused and generally it was in a bad way. "lYou promised ta f ix that -lest Faîl," he cbarged Counillor Les- lie Pascoe. "The work that was done on it recently only màde it worse. They don't know bow ta fix roads." Here Road Superintendent T. H.Richards spoke up beatedly: "The devîlish rains we've bad lately are washing all the roads bare." "They aren't devilish wben tbey came from above,!" retorted Mr. Baker. «II admit your road sbould have been fixed. before. It will be done within 10 days," sid Mr. Pascoe, pouring a little il on the troubled waters. .Partly content with the promise Mr. Baker witbdrew. Dog Klis Helfer After a number of bis were presented by farmers who bad shbtep and a h eifer killed by dogs, the reeve rernarked: "This killing Is getting serlous, but I'm sure I doti't know whet we tan do about Regarding the weed situa- tion Mi. Pîckell comniented: "If everyone knew tbey could get paid for cutting the weeds -iu front of their own propety we wouldn't have sa much trouble." An attorney's letter on bebalf of Cept. C. H. Mumford asked compensation for damage done to bis car, climing the bad'road wes responsible. He stated he was mnore concerned witb seeing the roed f ixed then with tollecting damages. Mr. Pascoe and the Road Superintendent were ap- pointed ta see him.' The monotoay of a drawsy Fa]] aternoon was punctuated at fre- quent intervels by the clap o! tbe fly-swatter wielded in turn by eech member of council wbile tbe pleyful little insects continued tc defy death by pouring in the screenless windows.

Previously, and la emnor, compensation for these students hed been included la the Caunties grànt. Chairman Dr. G. C. Boanycastle pointed out that theme wes no intention on tae part o! Bowmanvillle scbool ta solicit pupils from other points but tac schooi was made availeble for outsiders wbo wisbcd ta take ad- vantage o! its courses. Newcastle Board bas agreed ta pay thig yeen for ea umber o! pupils but the situation rcgarding ather cen- tres bas not beca made clear. Committee cheirman made re- parts an summer work end Prin- cipals Dippell and Thampson made a fcw requests for matenlals needed ln their achools. Editorial Mlad Midlands Maligned Daily papers of Sept. 8th give prominence ta a Canadian Press dispatch from St. John, New Brunswick, that a large num- ber of soldiers of the lst Midlanld Regiment had broken barracks* and created disturbance, with injury ta several and that individu- al and collective discipline would follow. There is no doubt that the story is authentic, yet scarcely any damage was done and it was but one of the many instances or "demonstrations" of similar nature occurring among troops in many districts. It was s0 in the last war. It will be so in the next, if we can stand a next. The point which The Statesmnan wishes to raise is that headlines tend ta magnify the incident and give a bad name ta a regiment which bas an unusually good record for discipline. The "Mad' Midlands" is a Durham Regiment with a long tradition of fine performance which this incident cannot sully. Since March 1940 men of this regiment have been held ta barrack duty; thence to detachmnent training with scant equipment; next ta Ottawa with full complement for a brief period; then to St. John wbere they have been split into detachments, guarding this and that, wbitewashing stanes, tidying up grounds, in short, most- ly marking time tili advance training came along. Men wbo have been back on leave have told the tale: "We enlisted to figbt, any- where in the world,' but look at us, drilling for over a year on a 1914 basis, only haif trained because of lack of equipment, and now doing kitchen fatigue or its equivalent."1 Truth is that a score or more got feàl up and took French leave, and now some more have given expression to resentment at inactivity. A year and a hall is a long, long, time for fighting men ta be held in leasb. And no troops should be held for long, along fog bound shores. They have as mucb right to relief as men had in the last war. The wonder is that a demonstration did not occur sooner. Tribute ta their discipline and appearance bas been voiced many tinies. Within the past ten days, one of the highest ranking officers in Ottawa, speaking to the editor of The Statesman, seid tfiat the Midlands were one of the finest bunches of boys in Canada . .. and he ineant it. And under date of Sept. 5th, came a letter from the Editor-in-Chief of a St. John peper: "This regiment bas made a very favorable impression in St. John, not only witb regard ta smartness but as to the gentlemanly be- havior of ail ranks."l These unsolicited accolades ought ta be suf- ficient ta refute the implications in scare-headlines. The States- man stands by the Midlands. We know the boys, or most of them. It is plainly apparent that, after investigation, these boys must be relieved. They have stood winter's fogs at irksome tasks. Now they sbould be sent ta somne encampment so fully equipped that they may get the training in modemn warfare that tbey have waited s0 long ta achieve. In our opinion, few regiments have been so sbabbily treatçd in the matter of training opportunity and equipment as bas the Mad Midlands. They have an O.C. second to none, Lt. Cal. J. C. Gamey, M.M.. who won bis commission on the field o! battle, and who has under hlm a competent and man- ly coterie of officers For some resson or othà the troops recruited in tais dist- rict seem ta have had absent treatment. The Second Midlands were virtually disbanded and the Veterans' Guard, so far as Ot- tawa is concerned, is apparently forgotten. The time seems ripe for a sbakeup of some sort. Certain it is that the First Midlands must be given opportunity ta get on witb the task for whicb eacb and everý'one volunteered. In any investigation, the thimg ta do first is ta learn just what provocation these volunteer soldiers bave been put ta. Then lay discipline where it belongs. - ~CANADA AT WAR Recently the editor a! The Statesmen was a member o! a party o! prominent weekly, daily and trade newspaper editons and publishers who made a tour o! Eastern Canada military camps, munition plants, R.C.A.F. Schoo]s and naval yards as guest o! the govemament. To give aur readers !irst baud information about the places visited Bruce M. Pearce, editar o! The Simcoe Reformer la writing a series a! five articles for member Papers o! the Canadian Weekly Newspepers Association. The first article wbich foliows is general in nature, suniariziag impressions o! the trip and out- lining the variaus highlights en- countered en route. Subsequent erticles will deel with the Army, the Wam Industries, the R.C.A.F. and the Navy.-The Editor. On the morning o! August 23rd last e group o! nearly fi! ty me- presentative Canadien newspaper- men assembled in Hamilton ta commence a journey that 15 proli- ebly witbaut'precedent in Cana- dien journalism. On the nlght o! August 3 lst, eight deys later, they arrived in Moatreal ta complete the lest leg o! a trip which bad taken them ta the Atlantic coast and given them, a complete panorama o! the great war giant which is repidly taking farm. in Canada. Sponisomed by the Department o! Nattonal Defence, the tour was initleted primarily ta give the editars an insight into Caneda's militery and industriel activity and ta provide them, with au en- lightened conception o! wbat 18 actuelly teking place in tais coun- try, with the thought thet they would then lie able ta dîscus more intelligently in their cal- umas the, varlous phases a! Cen- eda's wer entérpnIse. Thet the editors gladly embrac- ed this unique opportunity xnay be teken for grented. Heretofore they hed known ail toa little o! the inside stoy! the huge mua- chine wbich coustitutes Ceuada's contribution ta the fliht agaînst Hitlerism. Not being lu a position ta in!orm their readers, the me- jomity were inclined ta give voice ta the gmawing Impatience on the part o! Canadiens et the appar- ent lack o! alI-out effort. Until the fanl of France la June, 1940; it la pmobably true thet Canada had done ail too llttle. That is no 'longer true today. The truta la that Canada is rapidiy sbaping a formidable war machine thet will have e notable part in licking Hitler. In the short space o! eight deys, the Canadien editors weme treated ta, a spectacle that not only literally opened their eyes but inspired pride and strength- ened faita ta the part that Canada la playing and will play on an ever-growing scele in aiding the Mother Country. Everythlng Wlde Open Everything was thrown wide open ta the pmying eyes a! insati- ably curiaus editors. Nothiug was held back. We had with us Briga- dier Kenneth Stuart, D.S.O., M.C., Vice-Chie! o! the General Staff, together with distiaguished me- presenattves o! evemy brancb a! the service, includiug Col. G. S. Curmie,- Executive Assistant ta Minister o! National Defence, Col. G. B. Chisholm, M.C., Directarate o! Militemy Training, Col. W. A. Harrison, Executive Assistant ta Minister of Munitions ad$,upply, Col. 0. M. M. Kay, Assistant De- puty Adjutant-General, Lieut.- Col. W. Mavor, M.C., General Staff, Col. G. P. Momison, Direc- tom o! Technical Research, Victor Sifton, Master Generel a! the Ord- nence, as well as G. H. Lash, Dmr- ector o! Public Information, J. W. G. Clark, Diector a! Public Re- lations for Army and R.C.A.F., and members o! their staffs. Their policy was that every bit o! aveul- eble information should lie forth- coming. And it wes. Nom dîd tbey place any restrictions on the con- tents o! aur stoies aside fmom the well-known ules o! censorship. Nat oaly did these men utilize every wakiug moment toaenswem the million questions levelled et them by their guests, but they made sure that evemy Camp Com- mandant, every factory head and cveny officer revealed the whole show and held nothing beck. At Ottawa the editors were enter- teined et a dinner et which Hon. J. L. Relston, Hon. C. D. Howe and Han. C. G. Power were the principal speakers. The general impression was that these men werc sincerely trying ta do a job. They wene fank in admitting their mistekes and Han. Mn.

Sparrow, for- merly of the Whiz factory and son-in-law of Nigbt Constable Walter Hall. Despîte the fact that be bas been constantly in the war zone, bas belped bag f ive German submarines, and been fired upon repeatedly by enemny aircraft, Mr. Sparrow looks the picture of health and plans thor- oughly to enjoy bis 28-day fur- lougb. lketicent, as are ail "battie front" men, he would give no- thing but general information for publication save that sailors were more fearful of airpiane attack than submarmnes. Hostile aircmaf t would corne out over a convoy at great height and get into position behind a line of ships and then swoop with their bombs, taking one ship after another sa swiftly that anti-aîrcraft fire was often ineffectîve. Within the orbit of a convoy, however, with lookouts every- where, a submarine poking up its periscope prior ta attack, bad lit- tie chance of escape. Planes had been deadly until now that space bas been cleared on naval units ta accommodate "suicide" com- bat planes which engage the raid- ers. Losses were heavy until re- cent weeks and the menace has been cbecked. The customary convoys range from around 40 ta 100 or more sbips, and rather than teke the safer but longer southern route, tbey plow the danger zone ta Ice- land and on ta Britaîn. That was the route taken by Churchill. The editor of The Stetesman wben in Halifax the other day, speaking with naval authorities, got first hand verification of these facts and missed by one day one of the largest convoys ta leave Canada. Latest officiel releases virtually announce that the "sub" menace bas now been overcome. Neyer- theless convoys must continue ta battle through the northerrn seas and we hope that Leading Stoker Sparrow will return safely from the seas wben the war is over and give us some of the details wbich Admiralty regulations now pro- hibit.

There will be no admission fee or collection so came early as the church should be packed ta the doors. A fsketch o! the career o! Dr. Barker reveais bath adventure and romance. During the four years that William H. Taft was President of the United States o! America, Dr. Barker acted as his physicel instructor. He spent an bour eecb morning with the pre- sident and kept hlm in top physi- cal form. Wben it is remembered that Mr. Ta!ft tipped the scales around 300, that was some accom- plisbment. From 1913 ta 1919, Dr. Barker lectured across the country under the auspices o! the Internati6nal Committee o! the Y.M.C.A. Dur- ing these six yeams, in the sumzner manths, he was tbe leading health lectumer for the Redpath Chautau- que. In June 1919. et Salt Lake City convention of Rotary Internation- al, he gave bis now famous ad- dress, "A Fatber's Respoasibility taý His Son." He beld the audience a! 6,000 delegates spellbaund and be was besieged et once with in- vitàtions ta speek bef are Rotary Clubs ail over the country. In 1920 bis work was endarsed and sponsored by Rotary Inter- national and since thet time he has lectured ail over the United States and Canada under Rotary auspices. Over 2915 'clubs have heard hlm speak. Since going on the lecture platform, he bas de- livered over 13,500 addresses; over 4,500,000 aduits have heard hlm and approximately 3,975,000 high school and college students have beard bis message.

However, the directars are working an the problein and have pmepared tentative plans for its dipsosal. First they f eel that par- cels contaiaing useful articles shauld be sent tanen overseas if this cen lie carried out wlthout waste!ully dupllcating similar womk almeady being cainied on by severel local orgaizetions. The second suggestion is ta spend the bulk of the money on somne large project-eîther some unit o! equipment ta go on active service, or as a donation ta -a wer cbarity. The third idea js a good one- but nebulous. It bas been feit thet soldiers' wives and familles in tais district are being neglect- ed iu many ways and some meens migbt lie !ound ta remedy this. The boys overseas wauld like ta know that their familles are be- jng properly cared for. These proposais were brought farthaet the weekly Rotary meet-. iug by individualrnembersin a discussion conducted by Peat President D. R. Morrison.
