In oui write-up last week about Tom Cartwright and his "one man war effort in gathcring salvage," it was an oversight in not giving due credît to Bert Parker, master plumber, in this endeavor. The genial Bert has vcry generously supplied his truck to transport the paper around town for Tom. Lieut. Wm. Brown and Lieut. Wm. G. James, who have been on instructional duty for past thîee weeks with the 21st Canadian Armored Regt. at Debeit, NS., spent a few days leave with their parents here before iepoiting Fil- day at Camp Borden when they expect to proceed overseas.

GAY SET ENJOY NIGHT 0F REVELRY VETERANS' DANCE Homes were deserted in Bow- manville Friday evening. There was the Masonic dance at the Balmoral, the usual quota from here at the Top Hat, Oshawa, but by long odds the big crowd were to be found at Badminton Bar- racks wheîe No. 4 Platoon, 32nd Inf. Res. Regiment again staged one o! its immensely popular dances. Over 300 o! the dlite who are engaged in war work, together with those languishing in peace- time production, and men o! the services, past, present and future, displayed their terpiscorean tal- ents and graces tilI long past midnight. It was the largcst tuin- out yet and it was a "wow" fromn staît to finish -and for a worthy cause, to provide funds for the soldiers' rest room, Cowan Block, the most popular service rendez- vous in all Ontario. Capt. Joe O'Neill, MC., was popular Master o! Ceremonies, assisted by his men and N.C.O.s, Sgts. Samis and Swindells, with Corps. Coîke and Stacey at the gate and Pte. Art Kilpatîick, D.C.M., director o! band music. Joe got a big hand whcn he wcl- comcd the stalwart array o! Vet- erans from Camp No. 30, and they were not long in demonstrating to mations and co-eds that they wcre still masters o! the "light fantastic," waltzes, two-steps, fox - trots, tangocs, square dances and old time hoe-downs. Music was again supplied by Alex Merriam's Cobourg Sextette, with Mis. Campbell at the piano, and clever 14-year-old Miss Leona Merriam at the drums. Frank Davis, Co- bourg, called the squares. Prizes were drawn for lucky ticket hold- ers. B. H. S. Graduates With Firm 40 Years Given Silver Services From a Toronto correspondent we have welcomc news o! the success o! two more graduates o! Bowmanvillc High School. Bert Creeper, who lived at Tyrone and Hampton, was honored by off i- cials o! the Gordon MacKay Co., Toronto, recently, when he was presented with a silver service suitably engravcd, to mark 40 years' continuous service with the company. Present at the gathering were five other employecs who had also completcd 40 years with the MacKay firm. One o! these was Wm. Patterson, foimerly o! Ken- dal. Both Bert and Will graduat- cd from B.H.S. back in the days o! Sir Wilfrid Laurier and fast trotting horses. Old classmates will wish to join The Statesman in congratulations to both, and the MacKay Company which must have a genius for attracting talent. Ebenezer Friends and relatives extend sympathy to Mis. J. S. Felton <nee Bonnie Richards Aînott) and Mr. Alan Arnott, in the loss sus- tained in the passine of a lovine husband and father, Mi. J. S. Fel- ton, on March 3lst, at Norfolk, Va. community and they will be soie- ly missed here. The best wishcs of their host of fîiends go with them to their new field of en- deavour. St. John's Sunday School pic- sented their "Palm Sunday" pro- gram March 29th, under the lea- dcrship of Mis. R. M. Cale. Pîay- ers and the creed were conductcd by Canon C. R. Spencer. Vocal solos were given by: Barbara Coîke, "Gentle Jesus, meek and mild"; Rhona Evans, "Faiicst Lord Jesus"; Ulva Green "Jesus loves the little childien," and Doris Thompson "Good Night Sweet Jesus." The orchestra fav- ored with thîce suitable selec- tions, "The Palms," "Finlandia" and "Whispering Hope"; while readings and recitations in har- mony with the occasion were giv- en by, Jean Living, Bobbie Ro- gers, Ruth Newman, Mis. West- lake and Nellie Parker. Evelyn Hall and June Alîchin dclivered piano solos, and Catherine Dill- ing, Shirley Pollock and Lorraine Carpenter a vocal trio. Isabelle Naylor led in prayer and the as- sisting Sunday School teachers werc Mis. Cryderman, Mis. Bet- tles and Miss Naylor. Railway Section Gangs Aid SaîvageCampaign At last the railways are into the scrap and salvage campaign which has fallen into desuetude largely because government init- iative and drive has wancd as lo- cal committees can well attest. In the press o! the dz1y appear pic- turcs o! section men with huge masses o! iron and steel scrap, gathered along the right of way and brought to a central point for sorting. At the local stations in Bow- manville may be seen such cvi- dences o! assiduity on the part o! the section men of this district. The amount and quality o! thiis salvage is amazing. It reflects what could be donc nîl through the country. Everett V. Osborne, section sup't. for the C.P.R., and his two assistants bring in thc scrap, and self-appointed salvage diiector Oliver Roberts, tonsorial sup't. o! the lawns, suggests ways and means of soi ing. Section men .are domn a irand job. Wedding Baison-IKHien The home o! Mi. and Mis. R. Killen, Zion, was the scene of a prctty early Spîing wcdding on March 28th, when their daughtcr, Emily, became the bride o! Lance Corporal Harvey Glen Balson, -Woodstock, son o! Mi. and Mis. J. W. Balson, Hampton. Rev. Walter Rackham, Hampton, per- formed the ceremony bencath an archway o! pink and white streamers and white belîs. Bas- kets o! mixed Spring flowers completed the floral setting. The bride wore a becoming floor length bridal gown of white chiffon over satin, fashioned with full long sîceves and a sweetheart necklîne. The fingeitip lcngth embroidcred veil was caught wîth a halo o! orange blossoms. Her jewellery was a birthstone neck- lace and she carîied a bouquet o! deep pink carnations. The bride was given in marriage by her father. Miss Margaret Killen was her sister's bridesmaid and wore tur- quoise blue net with lace gores and a matching jacket. She wore a halo o! pink carnations and car- ried a bouquet o! peach colored carnations. Mi. Geîald Balson, brother o! the bridegroom, was groomsman. Following thc cercmony, the guests were received by the bridaI party assistcd by Mis. Killen and Mrs. Balson. The bride's mother chose a becoming gown o! navy crepe and a corsage o! roses, sweet peas and yellow cornflow- crs. Mis. Balson was becomlngly attiicd in navy printed chiffon and wore a corsage of pink roses and sweet peas. Lance Corporal and Mis. Bal- son left on a short wcddipg trip to western points. For travelling the bride donned a blue ciepe tailored dress, a black coat and accessories. Voice et The People THE ROAD TO THE WEST SIDE BEACH Dear Mi. Editor:- I wondeî if the town council has made any effort this yeaî to open the road to the West Side Beach. If not, it seems to me the time due and past due to make a start There surely is some way tc overcome this difficulty and clea-n up for good a soie that has aggra- vated the counicils and lake resi - dents for years. It seems strangc to have a public road to the' C.N.R. tracks and also a public îoad from the tracks to the Beach and then not allowed to cross the tracks. This is a great injustice to Bow manville, to the summer resort <which might be famous only for that), and to the thousands whti go, and would like to go, if there was a fiee and open road. Because the housing conditions are so acute between here and To- ronto, there neyer was a time when summer cottages were in such demand, so early, as they are this yeaî. If this problem could be overcome I feel confident there Would be 50 or 60 houses available to rent as soon as the warm Weather arrives: foi at least 5 or 6 months o! the yeaî. This surely would be a profit- able proposition for Bowmanville both in finances and popularity. As to popularity, thc town has been lookîng for something for years to put it on the map and all the time has had it îight in uts mîtt and was too laggard to take advantage o! it, or too blind to see it. The council which cleans up this problem will be doing more for the town than has been donc for years, and instead o! the 100 or so cottages there now, there should be five or six hundred if the proper interest was taken. The council bas a wondcrful chance now when bouses are needed 50 badly, gasoline rations being en- forced, and the beach being such a short distance to, Pickering and Toronto. We know the council is trying to keep down expenses. Is it do- ing it? We believe money spent to open the road would eventually save the town and beach residenis the bundreds o! dollars now bcing paid to thc two watchmen. Why not take Uic above up as z war measure? 1April 1, 1942. Beach Resident1 Punishing childien in public is like tuning up an orchestra-not always pleasant to the audience.
