THURSDAY, MAY 7, 1942 THE CANADIAN STATESMAN, BOWMANVILLE, ONTARIO PAGE FIVE KIDDIES' TOWN 'd like to go to Kiddies' Town, Where only children stay, '.Where 'grown-up folks are not ailowed, They ail must stay away. The streets and avenues are paved With lovely green lawn grass,1 And street cars, autos, horse-rigs, trucks, 'Are not'allowed to pass. Anlhere are swings and roundie- And pony rides abound, And plenty shallow swimming pools, Where we tots can't get drown- ed. And one-way runs, with smooth wood floors, For kiddie cars and trikes, And roller skates, and scooters, too, For aIl the littie tikes. There are wide lawns where flow- ers grow, O'er which to romp and play, While sweet-voiced birds sing in the trees, Throughout the whole long day. And shade trees ail bear luscious fruit, So lovely, big and sweet, To fi each kiddie's little tumn With ail it wants to eat. And ice cream cones, and sundaes, too, And lemonade to drink, And orange juice flows from turn-taps, Like water in a sink. And chocolate bars, and candies, rich, And nuts grow on a tree, And every child may have its fini, For everything is free. No scolding Moms and Daddies, there, And not one cross nurse-maid Will be allowed in Kiddies' Town To make wee tots afraid. But I can't go to Kiddies' Town, Where happy children crowd, For I'm grown-up and in that town No grown-ups are allowed.

Niagara Fals, Canada Women HlYE'S HO LU Ilf CARRY ON MUSICIANS! The cancellation of this year's Music Festival has undoubtedly disappointed many of the younger generation who have practised and rehearsed through many long and dreary hours ail winter. The value of the Festival in former years is apparent in the abundance of musical talent which there is now in the district.. . It is to be hoped. however, that the absence of the Festival will not discourage youthful musicians from further effort in their chosen field... Canada needs these talented young people in the future. So the message to ail those who would have been participants is "Carry On.,, -K- HOME FRONT CAMPAIGN In the recent salvage campaign, Bowmanville realized no less than $450.00 fromn the sale of material collected. The success of the sal- vage campaign is undoubtedly due to the untiring efforts of indi- vidual helpers and the efficient organization behind the whole campaign. Bowmanville may well be proud of this contribution .. but ... why stop here? In a short time, a representative fromn the local Red Cross will come to your door for a contribution to that organization. If you have friends or relations in any of the armed forces you will not question ho v worthwhile will be your donation. You will have heard of the count- less sweaters, socks, gloves and bandages that pour in to the army, navy and air-force. The Red Cross of Canada has, moreover clothed completely untold thousands of refugees. The work involved in supplying these commodities is done by an untiring army of workers, who willîngly spend their eyesight and time in the service of their coun- try. Now they need supplies. With the resounding success of the salvage campaign before us, let us ail co-operate. . give tilli t hurts . .. and keep up the splen did record the citizens of the town have set in the salvage campaign. GIRL GUIDES ACTIVE The local companies of Girl Guides have done valuable work in collecting fats from the homes bin town. They have already sold over 200 lbs. to the Swift Co., and have 100 lbs. more ready for sale. The fat is converted into soap and glycerine, the latter being donated to the government for use in mu- nitions. The money which the girls make (they have been sell- Ling the fat at 7 cents a lb.) they rplan to devote to war work This is one more way to help win the war . .. everything helps. In such ways our citizens bring Canada dloser to victory. Let's ail co-oper- aate to put Bowmanville in the *fore front of the national war ef- fort. GIRLS STEAL THE SHOW After the Cadet inspection at *the High School on Monday, Col. *L. F. Grant, chief inspector and Ï G.S.O. No. 1 of M.D. No. 3 King- 1 ston stated that he considered the -outstanding feature of the after- noon was the girls' display of pre- cision drill. This, he considered, compared flavourably with the University Women's Training De- tachments at Queen's and Varsity. His only regret, he said, was that the girls did not share with the boys, the salute and march Past. Less than three per cent o! the total value o! goods shipped over- seas by the Canadian Red Cross last year was lost by enemy ac- tion or strandings.

HEAR ADDRESS; ON MISSIONS Mrs. C. V. Longley, Returned Missionary from China Gives Impressive Talk In Canada we must realize u fortunate position and remmber our responsibility towards less fortunate races such as the Chin- ese, was the message o! Mrs. C. V. Longley, speaker at the annual Women's Missionary Society ser- vice at Trinity Uniied Church on Sunday morning. Mrs. Longiey was for many years the wife of a missionary in Fu-Jo, about 70 miles from Chung-King, and ac- cordingly was able to speak sin- cerely and movingly concerning her own experiences in the Sino- Japanese war. Members o! the Women's Mis- sionary Society, the Evening Aux- iliary, the C.G.I.T. and the Spar- ling and Alice Jackson Mission Bands, together with large num- bers o! the regular congregation thronged the church to hear this gifted speaker. Before the ser- mon, Rev. J. E. Griffith conducted the service during which Miss Margaret Aluin sang a solo, and girls o! the C.G.I.T. collected the off ering. In her address Mrs. Longley told many stories concerning the fortitude and patience o! the Chi- nese people before the Japanese onslaught. In spite o! danger and hardship, the Chinese feel no bitterness towards their enemies, the speaker continued, citing in- stance after instance o! the hid- eous suffering o! this brave peo- ple, in such simple and unaffect- ed language that she brought tears to the eyes o! many o! her audi- tors. Mrs. Longiey spoke admîringly o! Mme. Chiang Kai Chek, the wife of China's generalissimo who has opposed the Japanese so ably. Mme. Chiang, who is a Christian, has organized courses for Chinese girls in f irst aid, care o! homeless children, and nursing. The gra- duates o! these courses are sent out through China every three months, with a prayer and a blessing from Mme. Chiang to heIn them on their worthy work. Mrs. Longley concluded with a plea to Canadians to help as much as possible to alleviate the su!- fering of this courageous people.
