M ___ THURSDAY, MAY 14, 1942 PAGE FIVE THE CANADIAN STATESMAN, BOWMANVILLE, ONTARIO BLOOD DONORS' CAMPAIGN Citizens of Bowmanvifle wifl soon have the opportunity to take part in the national Blood Donors' Campaign. Recently many univer- sities were canvassed for blood donors. At MeGilI over three hun- d r ed volunteered, wh i 1e a t Queen's there were over 800, over half the students enrolled, offered their blood. Citizens of Bowmanville now must meet the challenge,' as a blood clinie is being established in Oshawa. Speaking from exper- lence there is absolute]y no dan- ger and very littie pain. Before the blood is taken the volunteer is thoroughly examined, and after the transfusion every precaution is taken to prevent after effects. No volunteers are accepted who weigh under 120 lbs. or whose haemoglobin count is less than 80 per cent. Donors under 21 years 0f age must have their parents' permission in writing. In this way the donor is protected in every way . . . and it is to be remember- ed that the blood thus given is dried and shipped to the battie- fields of the world,. where it saves countless hundreds of lives. It is such a small thing to have 500 c.c's of our whole 13 lbs. of blood painlessly and quickly withdraw-i from the arm, when it saves a human life. . 1 -K- BOARDING HELPS HITLER Do yqu harbour Public Enemy Number Ore in your home?

Mrs. Alan Williams, Bowmanville, reccrtly playcd in hem usual brilliant fashior at the third annual chamber music fes- tival o! the Hart House Quartet, ini Hart House, Tororto. Hectar Charleswonth, renowned musical critic, makes these iriferestirg comments: The second item was in differ- crf form; a quartet in G minor for piano and strings (K. 478), wifh Gwcrdolyr Williams at the keyboard, supporfed by Adolphe Koldafsky, violin; Allard de Rid- dem, viola, and Bonis Hambourg, cella. If is a peculiarly lavely work ini which percussion is blended with string tone. Miss Williams gave brilliantly an ir- spired performance. Hem touch was exquisitely graciaus anid sen- sitive 'and hiem urs had a pearly qua]ity thaf was navishing. There was an admirable response be- tween herself and associates. The Andante was akir ta lyric poefry, ard the final Rondo irresistibly appealing. If is a work anc should like fa hear or many future oc- casions. IMPORTANCE 0F EMPIRE DAY In a wan yean, Empire Day, May 22, will be doubly important in significarce. This year citirens o! the Empire will welcome the day that brings a substantial indi- cation o! the intangible bonds o! Empire that mear se much tea ah the l3ritish Commonwealth o! Na- fi' ~PiDuncar McArfhur, Or- ti le Ministen o! Educatian, in a rte~ tly published attractive booklet, urges fhat aIl schoal childrer will be made ta nealire ard appreciate the spirit o! the <'Empire. This war he says il being fought ta preserve aur democratic way o! life, ta preserve the Em- pire, the pnoduct o! supreme courage or the part o! genratiars o! Brifons. The sfudy o! history brings fhis ta mnd. The great Empire for which we fight today Social and Personal. Mr. and Mrs. Hugh Thurlow visited at Brantford. Miss Evelyn Harnden, Purple Hill, spent the weekend at home. Mr. and Mrs. William Graves, Gananoque, were visif ors with Mrs. Melbourne Hawley.

Kingston.-1 is fhe herifage o! men like Pitf, ]Lord Durham, anid Joseph Cham- berlairi. Empire Day 1942 is the day for every orie ta realire the principal for which the war is being fought, ta realîre thaf the sacrifices o! these great mer must be followed by the willirg sacri- %ce o! every citiren o! the British Commonwealth o! Nations, if the principle which Drake and Nel- son died for is ta be presenved. "Our Empire", says Dr. Mc- Arthur, "became great, rot by reason o! maferial things, but by the dauntless spirit o! ifs people. Let us in 1942, be worfhy o! the daurflcss spirit o! aur arcestors." -K- POWER VITAL TO VICTORY In a mcchanired war effort such as the present arc, the al-im- portant item is power. In every war irdusfry elecfric power is vital . .. anid yet we are told Can- adiaris every day waste hurdreds *of dollars worth o! this preclous asset . . . save power . . . every fime you burn an electric light or range urirecessarily, rememben that you are robbirg the armed forces o! bullets which would have broughf Canada a liffle clos- cm fa victory . .. Every time you leave your radio rurning longer than necessary, you are stopping a wheel from tumning on the road fa victory. Remember power is vital f0 victory. Women 5/9E-TO RELIEVE HUMAI SUFFERINO, Shaw's H, & S. Club Hold Final Meeting The final meeting of Shaw's Home and School Club was in- teresting and weIl attended. Pre- sident Garnet Rickard conducted the business session. If was de- cided t0 sponsor a picnic for the school children in June. These committees were appointed: Sports and Grounds-Tr ust ee s Rickard, Allin and Bragg and teacher Miss Cronk and Mesdames Elmer Cox and W. J. Clemence; Lunch-Miss Bennett, Mrs. Mel- bourne Wight, Mrs. Disley, Mrs. Geo. Allun and Mrs. Otto Bragg. No collection. New officers are: President- Ernest Gilbank; lst Vice-Mel- boumne Wight; 2nd Vice-Mrs. Ot- f0 Bragg; Treas.-Kyle Squair;i Sec.-Mrs. Garnet Rickard; Plan ist-Miss B. Gilbank; Assistant- Mrs. Otto Bragg; Pr'ess Sec'y.- Mrs. Norman Rickard; Lunch and Program Commiffes were ap- pointed who select monthly names. Ifnder the direction o! Mr. Wal- ter Rickard this programn was presented: Piano solo, Ruth Bragg; recitations by Gail Price and Ross Prout; a former pupil, Mrs. Ken- rieth Werry, favored with two vo- cal solos accompanied by Mrs. Bragg. Before singing "Annie Laurie," Mrs. Werrï read Dr. J. W. Hutchinson's aclount of the writing of song as seen in a clip- ping from The Statesman. While waiting for the speaker's appear- ance Miss Cronk graciously dir- ecfed the school in a very accept- able rendering of The Victory Song. Regarding the non-appearance of our speaker, what I hear makes me think he misquotes thus: "A school by any name, to me ap- pears the same - Lake Shore, Brown's or Shaw's, does if mat- ter which? Only if I mistake the name the program's in the difch." (We are hoping to hear hlm at some future time). Fortunately our committee had prepared a "double-header," thus we were not s0 much at a loss, as M. Wragg, feacher at Base Line, Darlington, proceeded to entertain us wifh his magic fricks done by sleighf-of-hand. Before our f'ry eyes articles appeared from nowhere and dissolved into thin air, apparently. Pupils were called up as assistants and laugh- ingly appeared as much mysfified - as the audience.

WHAT WE SAW AND HEARD AT PRESS MEETING Kay O'Néill The annual convention of the Ontario-Quebec Division of the Canadian Weekly Newspapers Association was held at the Royal York Hotel in Toronto on May 8th and 9th. The Statesman was re- presented by Ruth James and Kathryn O'Neill. Bofh mornings featured speech- es by members o! the C.W.N.A. On Friday morning, Andy Clarke o!

The highlighf o! the second morn- ing was a speech on National Selective Service by Director E. M. Little, Otfawa. A resumne o! this speech will be prînfed in this issue or a lafer issue.

After lunch, a parade o! blue-clad airmen marched pasf, well-train- cd in every defail o! dmi11, and if is noteworfhy that nof one o! these boys had had over two weeks' training. Two Bowman- ville boys noficed in the ranks were Don Mcllveen and Jim Crombie. An inspection o!

Renison of St. Paul's Church, Toronto, relat- ed a most fascinating account of his recent trip f0 England. Saturday roon the delegates were guests o! Mr. J. E.

Besides beirg a pleasant social gafherirg, this was the occasion o! the pre- sentatior o! cups anid frophies f0 the edifors.

When they lef t the building, busses conveyed the party ta 129 College Street whene fhey saw the Red Cross boxes for prisorers of war beirg packed. The Cana- dian Red Cross serds f0 British ard Canadian prisonens o! war in Genmany 60,000 boxes per week.
