VOLUME 88 BOWMAÑVILLE, ONTARIO, THURSDAY, APRIL 23rd, 1942 UMBER 17 QIONS CLUB HOBBY SHOW AT HIGH SCHOOL SATURY Brilliant Literary Lecture by Ethel Chapman of Toronto Ends Canadian Club Season Women Hear Inforiative Talk O n " Awareness Through Books"-Club Elects Offic- ers For Coming Year Perfect English, perfectly de- livered, and perfect command of a most intriguing subject were displayed by the speaker at the last meeting of the season of Bow- manville Women's Canadian Club, Monday, in St. John's Parish Hall. Announcement that Miss Ethel Chapman, Toronto, author and editor, would speak on "books" was the raison d'etre for the largest attendance yet recorded. Miss Chapman's name, of course, was well known to all, and her pleasing presence and voice, add- ed to the informal tea and recep- tion that preceded her discourse, placed everyone perfectly at home for an hour and a half of sheer literary enjoyment. Preliminary reports of Club activities by various ladies as chairmen and convenors, preced- ed the main address, and Miss Chapman, when introduced by the president, Mrs. W. P. Rogers, observed, "I cannot understand why, with the ability and oratory just displayed, you should send out of town for speakers." In announcing her subject, "Aware- ness Through Books," Miss Chap- man analyzed something of why we read; for information, cur- rent affairs, pleasure, inspiration, escape, or a soporific to put us to sleep. Step by step, in review- ing various books, the speaker enlarged upon those factors and others and preceded the main observations with a story et.-an accident that beteli a Westerner who suffered for days with a broken leg, having fallen into a well, and after recovery, pointed this unconscious moral: "I can never pass a well again without looking into it." Very pertinent and penetrating stories were used thrr ighout to illumine what was pjnted. 'ýca from realities or for vision empleted.the main round- up of reading objectives, and Miss Chapman first dealt with Sir- er's "Berlin Diary," then folrow- ed immediately with Norah Waln, "Reaching for the Stars." These werc contrasting views eof.-the peoples of Germany. Miss Waln, a Quaker from the U.S.A., slowly, carefully, progressively moving among the common people, brought out a picture of revolu- tionary Germany that proved so naively true it was startling to read even today. The parallel was the story of the rabbits in a clover field where weasles infil- trated among them and there ap- peared no corporate concern. One by one the rodents decimated them. Profound indeed was Miss Waln's book. Next under review came Mau- rice Hindus' "Mission to Moscow' with its tracing of the modifying influences that slowly evolved from the terrors of the Red re- volution. Something of this, too is apparent in the self-abnegation of Max Eastman, and the speaker journeyed, briefly, across the steopes to China, to the New China of Chiang Kai-shek and Madame and told of Anne Lind bergh's impressions; the leaven ing and moulding processes (Continued on page 5) Mrs. Mary F.

RULES GOVERNING PLEBISCITE VOTE Next Monday is "Plebiscite Day", and every Canadian voter has been informed that it is his privilege to exercise the right of ballot. The polls will be open on April 27th from 8 a.m. until 8 p.m. While lists of voters have been prepared, it is important to re- member that they are "open" lists -that is, in either urban or rural polling divisions, any qualified voter whose name has been omit- ted may vote on polling day in his polling division by taking the re- quired oath and being vouched for by a voter whose name appears on the list of voters for such polling division. If a person so omitted lives in an urban polling division, he must produce his National Registration Certificate as well as take an oath. Generally speaking, every per- son over 21 years of age, resident in Canada during the last 12 months and resident in his or her polling district as at March 30th last, can vote. Êvery Canadian on active ser- vice or in trainihg in any of His Majesty's forces or corps, within Canada,tis entitled to vote on the Plebiscite in advance of polling day. The plebiscite.is a direct vote of all the voters in Canada on an important question to ascertain the views of the Canadian people on the following question: "Are you in favor of releasing the Government from any obliga- tion arising out of any past com- mitments restricting the methods of raising men for military ser- Vice?" LESS MONEY FOR COUNTIES ROADS No Money for Construction This Year, Engineer States A warning that residents of the United Counties must take greater care of the county and township roads this year was issued by Mr. A. S. Miller, counties road super- intendent, during an interview this week. He stated no money will be available for construction and much less than a year ago for repair and maintenance. While the Counties Council at its session in January passed a by- law to appropriate $90,000 for counties road purposes this year, the provincial government has an- nounced it will pay a subsidy on only $51,000. This means there will be no money for construction and with increasing costs there will be less money available to make repairs and maintain pres- ent roads. Mr. Miller said that while the winter of a year ago did consider- 1 able damage to roads in the coun - ties, a far greater amount of dam age was done this year. Some i roads were badly. washed out this spring, while others have devel oped bad frost boils. Mr. Miller v said residents of the rural districts 1 would do well to remain off th - roads until they dry up instead o - expecting the counties to put them in good condition. Referring to the announcemen that a 40 mile an hour speed limi will be enforced on provincia highways after May 1, Mr. Mille: d said the gravel roads in the rura i districts would last much longe f and remain in good condition if - speeds were reduced on them to a proportional degree.

It can happen in Canada at the rate most Canadians are becoming war conscious. Then vote YES on Monday. OVERSEAS SOLDIER EXPRESSÉS VIEWS ON CONSCRIPTION Signalman Jim M. Sisson, son of Dr. E. W. Sisson, well known local dentist, writes to his parents in strong and reasoned terms in respect of phases of this "all-out" war and particularly in respect of the coming plebiscite. A paragraph from his letter reads: "There really should be conscription in Canada if the people could only see what Ger- mans have done here. They wouid partly realize what would come if we were to lose. It would be bringing back dark ages again and would take centuries to gain what we would lose. There may be faults now but what we have is sure worth keeping and fighting for. Assist to Solve the Problem of the Blind In these days when people are asked to support any welfare organization it is their right and their duty to know that the money they contribute is being spent to the greatest possible advantage. In asking for your help in main- taining services te the blind ciNi- zens of Canada the Canadian Na- tional Institute for the Blind can only submit the record of what if has done. It.is your right to decide whether that work will be contin- uad and enharged in scoe or whetharit will be curtailed. In Canada last year there were more blind people gainfully em ployed than in any previous year of the . nation's history. There were more blind men and women in business. There was a greater quantity of "Blindcraft" goods produced. There were more blind people employed in handicrafts in their own homes. There were more blind home teachers em- ployed in the instruction of blind adults. There were more ppuils in D this extensive, informal, essential school. There were more blind field service workers, spreading te a wider area the services which - the institute is able to render to - blind men and women to whom - some of the privileges enjoyed by the urban blind are necessarily s denied. There were more blind - people enjoying the facilities ac- r corded by libraries of Braille and s talking books. There was during e the year just passed, a higher f standard of living amongst the n blind citizens of Canada than ever before attained. t It is an astonishing and startling t thing to be able to say that, ir il spite of the fact that Canada is in- r volved in a life and death strug (Continued on Page 7) PRIZE WINNER 1 Thos.

Citizens to Make an Ail Out Drive In Salvage Campaign Next Week The Salvage Committee have their plan of campaign in Bow- manville, Tuesday and Wednes- day, April 28-29, about completed and are ready to start shooting. One side of the former church shed on Church Street will be used as a depot and 22 trucks com- plete with drivers have been se- cured from local owners. Volun- teer workers from the Rotary and Lions Clubs, Goodyear, Foundry, High School and local Reserve Unit will man the trucks and at- tend to the sorting of material upon arrival at the depot. This campaign will not bei success unless the householders will co-operate one hundred per cent. Here is the way you can help: 1. Tie securely in separate bun- dles all your papers and maga- zines. Lions Safety Club Welcomes Members Routine business featured the largest turnout of the season at the regular Saturday meeting of the Lions Bicycle Safety Club in the town hall. Over 30 new and old members were present. In the absence of Charlie Carter, the meeting was called to order by Lieut. A. L. Baker and all stood, respectfully, while Magis- trate Nelson Osborne of the Lions Club ascended the bench to han- dle what proved to be a light court docket. The fo11o w in g members were sentenced by the cadi: Doris Chartran, Pearl Bres- lin, Gerald Cox, Jim Lunn and Leon Brown. Sentences ranged from writing out the 10 Club Commandments to tieing up bikes for a day. Of- fender Leon Brown had his bike impoundd for a day but he was able te show that ha was the star newsboy for The Statesman, handling upwards of 100 papers weekly, and as a wartime occupa- tion he could not afford to have his bike tied up. The magistrate accordingly changed his sentence to writing rules. "Judge" Osborne then gave members an inspiring talk on their duties and responsibilities as members of the first club of its kind in the British Empire and read parts of the safety bulletin issued by the Ontario Motor Lea- gue, which showed that bicyclists in the city were heldtoe much stricter roles than in towns. A vote ef thanks was tendered him on motion of Dorothy Morris. The "hike" announced a week ago had to be cancelled on ac- count of the soft condition of the turf in. the park. Announcement will be made in the press as to rospects for next Saturday, so be on the lookout. New members introduced were: Ruth Dumas, Jacqueline Clarke, June Bickle, Marilyn Carpenter, Billy and Bobbie Slaght, Lorne Brown, Jim Bedford and Elwood Fice. New members were wel- comed on motion of Doris Char- tran. Don't forget . next Saturday, 7 same place and time. St. Paul's W.M.S. held its Eas- ter thankoffering service Sunday, April 19th. Mr. Stephen Saywell,l r Oshawa, was guest speaker and gave an interesting missionary sermon, "Now then we are am- bassadors of Christ." The choir rendered appropriate music, Miss Donalda Creaser and Mr. Chas. Carruthers taking solo parts in - the anthem. The C.G.I.T. girls attended and assisted in taking the offering. 2. Press out flat any cardboard boxes or cartons and tie them se- curely in bundles. 3. Put all your rags in either bags or cardboads boxes. 4. Have any metai as flat as possible te save truck space. ý 5. Do not forget all old rubber of any kind. Then please pile all your sal- vage as near the street line as possible not later than 6.15 p.m. There will be no collection of tin cans, bottles or bones. Renember salvage is collected: King Street and north, Tuesday evenirg, April 28th. South of King Street, Wednes- day evening, April 29th. Volunteer workers are request- éed to be at the church shed be- tween 6.15 and 6.30 each night. CIRCLES THE GLOBEÀ V. A.

Encouraged by1 their teachers, the boys and girls in the public and separate schools during the first four months of the school year, spent a grand to- tal of $485,907.14 in the purchase1 of War Savings Stamps and Cer- tificates. The contributions of the elem- entary school children during those four months was sufficienti to maintain 59,000 soldiers over-1 seas for one day or 1,966 for a1 whole month or 162 for a whole year. The amount by which the boys and girls of the elementary schools of Ontario have boosted the war effort, is announced by of- ficials of the Department of Edu- cation. In the secondary schools also the pupils are active in put- ting aside their nickels and their dimes to buy War Savings Cer- tificates, as is indicated by the re- port that some 95 schools outside larger urban centres, had pur- chased stamps and certificates for $36,000, during four months ending December 31. "It is hoped that during the cur- rent six months, January to June, 1942, the average amount spent by the pupils in War Savings Cer- tificates and Stamps may be in- creased," an tficial of the De- partment stated. "It is aiso the intention of the War Savings Committee, the Department of Education, the inspectors and the teachers to make this campaign an active and constant one through- out the war period."

MUSIC FESTIVAL CANCELLED We have been requested by President A. R.

This has been decided on, due to small entry list, lack of adult con- testants, and the difficulties being encountered in trans- portation due to gas ration- ing. It is hoped, however, that music supervisors will hold their local contests, as in past years, to maintain the festival interest until it is re- sumed. Contestants who have sent in their fees will have the money returned in due course. ENJOY ILLUSTRATED LECTURE ON EUROPE Bowmanvillc Home and School Club met in Central Public School April 15 with a much smaller at- tendance than usual owing, no doubt, to the Travelogue in Trin- ity Church. Vice President Mrs. Johnson, opened the meeting then turned it over to Mrs. G. Dunn, convener for the evening. The prcgram consisted of a violin sole by Miss Colette Fer- guson; vocal solo by Miss Arlene rNorthcutt and a reading by Miss E. Cronk. Mr. E. A. Summers, Agricul- tural Representative, entertaned with slides of important places in France, Lisbon, Spain, Italy, Ger- many and the Netherlands. These were very educational and Mr. Summers accompanied each pic- ture with an interesting talk. The business meeting followed, then lunch was served by Mrs. Dunn and her group. Employers Better Get Busy, or Else Ottawa, Ontario, April 21, 1942 Mr. George W. James, Editor, Bowmanville Statesman, Bowmanville, Ontario. Dear Sir: I received a wire from the Hon- orable Humphrey Mitchell, asking me to have inserted in the local newspapers in the county, the following in regard to the Unem- ployment Insurance Commission registration of workers in the mobilization of manpower. According to the latest arrange- ments, insurance books for the last fiscal year must be returned to the local Employment and Claims Offices in order that new books may be issued. This is a very urgent matter and it is sug- gested that through the local newspapers, the importance of this could be pointed out to em- ployers that they should complete the registration forms of the em- ployees at once if they have no done so already. These registra- tion formsand the old insuranc books sheuld ha reurnad te the local Employment and Claims Of- fice of the Unemployment Insur- ance Commission at the earlies possible moment.
