Zbe anatan tafreman With Which Are Incorporated The Bowmanville News, The Newcastle Independent, And The Orono News g' ê <b b.. *. ..cI * gc~ VOLUME 88 BOWMANVILLE, ONTARIO, THURSDAY, MARCH 5th, 1942 NUMBERl1 ,Women's Institute Hears Rddress on Causes of War By Former Mayor W. R. Strike Speaker Gives A b I e Analysis of Causes of Wars From Ancient Days up to the Atlan- tic Charter The February meeting of Bow- manville Women's Institute, which met Thursday, in Parish Hall was marked as an outstanding event because there was presented by the guest speaker, one of the ablest analyses of the causes of wars ever heard in this district. After preliminary business under direction of the President, Mrs. Johnston Thickson, Mr. W. Ross Strike was welcomed and intro- duced by Mrs. E. R. Bounsall who gave the subject as, "The Causes of Wars." Mr. Strike, in almost an hour's able address, invited his audience to view objectively the whole range of history from the time the Mediterranean was the centre of civilization, right down to the recent enunciation of the Atlantic Charter. Only by a survey of this character could one become per- suaded of the real causes of wars. His contention was that all wars were caused primarily by the need and desire to acquire greater stores and sources of raw mater- ials. It began in the near east and spread over the Mediterranean basin as early Phoenician traders pushed westward. As ships improved, Spanish galleons searched far and wide for gold and spices and empires were carved by Spain and Portu- gal with armed forces. Later on came, almost simultaneously, the Dutch and English, who with keener perceptions, not only en- tered competition with the Latin imperialists but, in time, stripped them of their possessions. Soon the French were into the game and the long wars in India and America were the results of covetous acquisitions. Colonies were set up, natives epxloited and raw materials began to flow back to the seats of the mighty and upon allsthis was erected the great pools of national wealth which now, today, is being drained away mnto the greatest war of history. The British Empire was un. dubtedly a consolidation of all Ê various sources for raw ma- s, won by wars, loosely held ana encircling the globe. The spea er brought out the fact that nearly two thirds of the world's raw materials are located in the western hemisphere. Europe, a most densely populated area, had very little in the way of raw ma terials. It became the world's workshop and the centre of civihi- zation. Industrial growth acceler- ated as new machines and science developed. The culmination of al theselconditions and forces led toa the latest and most desperate con- flicts of all time, within the pres- ent "civilized" century. Mr. Strike traced how domin- ant countries, holding the lion's share, only deepened the envies of smaller nations, and this system of "haves and have nots" plus creation of "buffer" states, led to explosions engendered by nation- alistic demagogues. The Baltic States and Denmark, Holland, Belgium, were "hemming in" states and both Germany and Russia were thus restricted, but Russia always had a vast wealth of raw materials. Then came re- strictive tariffs and the growth of economic nationalism. War agaim was on its way. Japan, with the barriers of Hong Kong and the Philippines across her path to the spice, tin and oil islands, felt equally con fined and began years ago to plan her conquests of today. And throughout all of this arose defin ite ideologies, which, at root, wiil be found largely with common denominators. Mr. Strike contend ed that the common man did no want war; workers wanted mor equality and were organizing to get a better standard of living These common factors in Ger many, Italy and Japan were de veoped by their leaders intoa conception that their respective peoples were superior races, des tined to dominate the world. Anc it is to be noted that these coun tries had to struggle to get full re quirements of raw materials. on the other hand, the democ racies, generally, having surplu raw materials, gradually develop edthe socialization through con stitutional processes which wa granting more and more libertie and comforts to the common man One vast difference developed te dictators could impose thei e and did so. The democracies i't today are only slowly bring Unepressure to bear on the in lvidual. And we have been tw ndahalf years at war. nCanada, so far, has been for trs of the "battelarg yhe entu les", we have now came ta th P testing time. There are differer and difficult days ahead. The rie' a an's day is done. The worke illl have both security and leis ure and the nations of the worl will equally share the raw me terials of the universe.

On or sidep e have by fa te atgreatc Masonic "At Home" File the Auditorium At The High School Friday evening in the grand auditorium of the High School lights shone down upon spotless linen and gleaming silver, over fair women and stalwart Masons as they sought place cards for the annual banquet and "At Home" of Jerusalem Lodge, A.F.&A.M., No. 31, G.R.C. Over three hundred brethern, with wives or lady guests and visiting members, gaily appreciated exquisite Carter cat- ering. It was indeed a gala even- ing. Springtime weather under a quarter moon and open roads ac- counted for maximum attendance Worshipful Master J. S. Emmer- son, presiding Toast-master, ex- pressed pleasure that so many were present and felt that it ex- pressed the esteem in which Jer- usalem Lodge is held, not only in Bowmanville but throughout On- tario District. He extended warm greetings to visitors and guests and between courses, invited Bro. Geo. E. Chase and Miss Arlene Northcutt to lead in rollicking community songs. The toast to The King was fol- lowed by the Worshipful Master's request that Wor. Bro. J. R. Stutt propose a toast to Grand Lodge. Appropriate response was made by Rt. Wor. Bro. G. C. Bonny- castle, himself a life member of Grand Lodge. "To the Ladies", proposed by Wor. Bro. L. W. Dip- pell met response, very capably by Mrs. L. T. McLaughlin. Claim was made by Rt. Wor. Bro. F. C. Hoar, that his toast to "The Vis- itors" was most important for it included the ladies as well as vis- ing brethern. The Ruling Masters of the Dis- trict were introdueed by the Wor- shipful Master; they were, Wor. Bro. Wm. Farndale, of Mount Zion Lodge, Brooklin; War. Bro. Ed Ruthven, Master of Ontario Lodge, Port Hope; Wor. Bro. Don- ald Gibson, Worshipful Master of Durham Lodge, Newcastle; Wor. Bro. Wm. Dear, Master of Hope Lodge, Port Hope; Wor. Bro. James C. Tamblyn, Master of Orono Lodge, Orono; and Wor. Bro. Wilfred E. Baker, Master of Cedar Lodge, Oshawa. Rt. Wor. Bro. W. E. C. Work- man officiated at the piano and a sparkling progamme followed the banquet. The Misses Doris and Greta Lick. Oshawa, rendered vocal solos with encores and Cam- eron Warne, instructor at Oshawa Air Training School, contributed stirring piano solos. Mrs. Frank Hickingbottom, elecutionist, To- ronto, gave several excellent read- ings. Mr. Joe Milne was in top form as comedian. Following the program, tables were removed and 'tii the we sma' hours, cards and dancing were the order. The Committee to be commended for the excellence of arrangements were: Wor. Bro. A. W. G. Northcutt, Wor. Bro. E. H. Brown, Wor. Bro. E. S. Fer- guson and Bros. W. G. Pascoe, H. G. Joint, Ross Stevens, James Marr. This may be the last ban- quet during wartime due to ex- igiencies of the conflict that de- mands the last full measures of denial for all. Invited to Port Perry Rev. W. Clifford Smith Pastor Courtice Circuit (Port Perry Star) tRev. W. Clifford Smith, of Cour- tice, was chosen as resident min- ister by the United Church con- gregations of Port Perry and Prince Albert. The vote was taken after the morning service at Port Penry, and the afternoon service at Prince Albert. It is expected that Rev. Mr. Smith will begin his ministry here t about the middle of April. S Mr. Smith has been doing most successful and acceptable work at - Courtice for the past eight years. M inisters Hear Talk On the New Order d At March Gathering The West Durham Ministeria] - Association met on Monday after- S noon at the home of Rev. W. P Rogers, Bowmanville. There were twelve members present. Rev. s Canon C. R. Spencer president of s the association occupied the chair Rev. R. E. Morton presentec ; a very fine paper on "The Churcl r and the New World Order". The , paper was followed by a discus- . sion in which nearly every mem. - ber took part. Mrs. Rogers assist- o ed by Mrs. G. L. Wagar served a much enjoyed repast. morale is maintained and organi- zation and unity achieved we shall win through. Mr. Strike con. cluded, "surely a man will fight better and harder for his own freedom than for some abstract thing called the State. A sincere vote of thanks for Mr. Strike was extended by'the presi- dent on motion of Mrs. A. L. Nichols, seconded by Mrs. E. Passant. Miss Marilyn Rundle fa- vored with piano solos. Refresh- ments were served under social convenor Mrs. Passant. 1 c t Home & School Club Hear Practical Talk Study of Nutrition Bowmanville Home & Schooli Association met Feb. 11th at the Central School. Mrs. Brock, convener, presented this program; Piano duets by Misses Joan Woolley and Faye Boe were very nicely rendered. Miss Dorothy Nichols sang "The Sunshine of Your Smile". She was accompanied by Mrs. Albert Caole. Miss Nichols, as always, is a joy to hear. Mrs. A. S. Baker gave a short but interesting address on Found- er's Day. Home & School Associ- ation was founded during the last war and if there was the need of such an organization then, there surely is as great a need now. The H. & S. motto is: "To link the past with the present and prepare for the future." Miss H. Morris led in the sing- ing of "There'll Always be an England" which paved the way for Mr. L. W. Dippell, who as publicity manager for the Second War Loan, stressed the urgent need to invest in Victory Bonds. When we win, we have a saf e investment, if we don't invest and lose this war, nothing will be a saf e investment. Mrs. Ross Strike, the speaker of the evening, chose "Nutrition" as her subject. This subject is one that we all need to study in the present days and may need to watch more closely in the near future. Mrs. Strike certainly makes her talks very interesting. A display of clothing for the bomb victims was much admired. Miss Morris led in the singing of the Home and School Song. Miss Gray and Miss H. Morris took the prize for the most moth- ers in attendance. Lunch was served and a social half hour was enjoyed. Goodyear Employee Member of Delegation Waited on the Premier Couneillor W. R. Harrison, a long service employee atithe Goodyear plant, was the sole local representative among a delega- tion which waited on Prime Min- ister King at Ottawa on Feb. 27. The rubber worker's delegaticn consisted of six men from Kitch- ener, Toronto and Bowmanviiie. Arrangements were made to meet Mr. King at the noon recess of the house and at 12.15 Hon. Hum- phrey Mitchell, Minister of Labor, introduced the delegation to the Prime Minister who shook hands individually and accepted their petition with sympathy. A prior, formal brief had been submitted by A. R. Mosher of the C.C. of L., and subsequently J. MacKenzie of Toronto as spokes- man for the Canadian Congress of Labor, presented a brief in which it was reported that 2,000 of the 14,000 workers employed in Ontario and Quebec plants have been displaced and warning of further layoffs has been given by some plants The union asked that seniority rights of displaced workers be protected, that they be given pref- erence in new industries and ai- lowed to receive both unemploy- ment insurance and a training ai- lowance while they are trained for new jobs. Mr. Mitchell promised to assign departmental officials ta make immediate surveys in the local- ities where the plants are loeated. Mr.Harrison, when interviewed on his return home, was im- pressed with the sincerity of Mr. King and the ability of his Minis- ter of Labor and was hopeful that 1 what they had been given to be- lieve would be carried out.

An in- crease of 825 telephones at Osh- awa for a total at December 31 of 6,570 reflected the war activity hereabouts. Whitby telephones in- creased by 65 for a total of 733. Port Hope and Bowmanville add- ed 49 and 48 telephones, respec- tively, for year-end totals of 1,113 and 1,195. At Cobourg, Colborne and Port Perry the respeçtive in- creases were 34, 16 and 10 for totals at December 31st of 1,111, 187 and 252 telephones." W.M.S. Sunday Service Planned for May 3rd By Trinity Women Tuesday afternoon Trinity W. M. S. held their March meeting, with the devotional service in charge of Mrs. F. Cryderman and her group, and Mrs. W. C. Work- man at the piano. The leader opened the service by reading the theme for the year "The faith by which we live", and the theme for the month, "The Bible to be our guide in Christian faith and con- duet." The senipture lesson was read alternately. This was follow- ed by a reading from Mrs. H. T. Hircock and the singing of the 'i familiar hymn so thoroughly in keeping with the theme of the day- Holy Bilble, book divine Precious treasure thou art mine Mine to tell me whence I came Mine to teach me what I am. Mrs. Cryderman offered the closing prayer. The chapter in the study book "The Chinese Church Comes of Age" was presented by Mrs. C. A. Bartlett in careful detail, show- ing the gradual development of the Christian Church in China. Mrs. M. J. Hutchison, Presdient, took charge of the business ses- sion. The reports 0f the various secretaries were given. Mention was made of the Lenten prayer and thank-offering to which the members had pledged themselves. The Easter thank-offering will be taken at the April meeting, while the usual W.M.S. Sunday service will be held May 3rd in order that the society might enjoy the priv- ilege of having Mrs. R. S. Long- ley, a returned missionary from China, as guest speaker. Opposite The Statesman office is a steadily deepening hole in the pavement that will cost the town treasury considerable money for damages to cars if not repair- ed. Another "mantrap" has been excavated by transports opposite Glen Rae Dairy.

Nestieton Resident William Brown Killed In Crossing Accident William Brown, 31, of Nestleton, was killed almost instantly about 7.30 p.m. Saturday when his sedan was demolished by a Canadian Pacifie passenger train. It was the third fatal accident at the point where Scugog Road crosses the Canadian Pacifie yards at Burke- ton. Brown, who was an employee of Pickering Munitions, was be- lieved to have been driving from Nestleton to Pickering. He was alone at the time of the accident. He is survived by his widowed mother, Mrs. Olive Brown, Nestle- ton; two sisters, Mrs. Dorothy Lee and Mrs. Walter McGill and one brother, Russell Brown, New- castle. Constable Dymond, O.P.P., ac- companied by Chief Syd Venton, Bowmanville, were quickly at the scene. Dr. J. A. McArthur, Black- stock, district corner, later report- ed that no inquest would be held. It appeared that Mr. Brown had been unable to check his car and had crashed into a slow moving train. His demolished car was carried some distance down the track. Interment took place at the family burial place after services Tuesday, in St. John's Anglican Church, Blackstock. Successful Military Dance Provides Funds For Soldiers' Club Despite the grand Masonie ban-t quet Friday night, the militaryE dance under auspices of No. 41 Platoon, 32nd Infantry Reserve1 Company took place the same1 evening at Badminton Barracks1 and attracted some 300 enthus-1 iasts, both military and civil. Al1 uniformed men were admittedt free and around 50 men on leave and passing through, of all threei services, army, air force and navy,1 stopped over to enjoy a carefree1 evening. Relieved from arduous duties at the Internment Camp,1 some 40 guards came also asj guests. Consensus was that this was the most successful dance of the season. Merriam's Orchestra, Cobourg, supplied snappy music for bath square and round dances with Capt, Joe O'Neill, M.C., second in command of the 32nd, as Master of Ceremonies of the floor, and an imported "'caller off" for the "hoe-downs." Pte. Art Kilpatrick, D.C.M., supervised the 'ilitary musi and Sgts. Cliff Samis and J. H. Swindells welcomed all guests at the box office. Other veterans formed various commit- tees. The ladies committee acting un- der convenor Mrs. Stan Beckett consisted of representatives of the Women's Institute, Girl's Service Club, Women's Auxiliary and Soldiers' Wives Club. The Service Club girls conducted the canteen with usual refreshments and hot coffee. Proceeds of around $50.00 net wene allocated for upkeep of the Soldiers' Rest Room, Cowan Block, which has been such an outstanding success. A vote of thanks goes to the ladies without whose able management these functions could not be successful. Soldier Hurt When Walks in Path of Auto A guard at the Bowmanville prison camp, Michael Bilinsky, 45 years old, was taken to Oshawa General Hospital Saturday night after he walked from behind a parked car on Simeoe Street North into the front fender of a south-bound car driven by Thom- as Baker Jr. of Hampton. According to Dr. H. M. Mac- Donald, who attended the soldier following the accident, Bilinsky suffered a concussion, a eut on the head requiring one clip and severe pains in the right leg. After spend- ing Satunday night at the Osh- awa General Hospital, the guard was transferred to the hospital at the Bowmanville Prison Camp on Sunday where he is still under observation. Dr. MacDonald said Bilinsky would probably be able to return to duty in a few days. Trinity Young People Hear Address On British Traditions "Democracy, a tradition the British people love, a form of gov- ernment of the people, by the people, for the people," were the words used by Rev. W. P. Rogers in his educational and informative address to the members of Trin- ity Young People's Union on Mon- day evening. Four common, much- used words formed the title of the address: Democracy, Election, Plebiscite and Referendum. Each term was defined by the speaker and explained fully. An address such as this proved exceedingly interesting especially now these wordsaresooftendused in news- papers, radio and every day speech. Business period was conducted by Bert Johnston and the worship service presented by Grace Hall Doris Dudley and Bert Johnston All members are asked to be pres ent on Monday when members o Oshawa Presbytery Executive wil be guests of Trinity Union.
