THURSDAY, JUNE 25, 1942 PAGE FIVE THE CANADIAN STATESMAN. EOWMANVILLE, ONTARIO Fît. Sgt. D. Cameron .. 1.00 lit KO LU 111 SCHOOL'S OUT This wcek will sce most of the students in the local public and bigb schools close their books and look forward to a two 'months' holiday. While those dog-eared tcxt books gather dust on the closet shel!, what of their owners, and bow will tbey put in eight weeks of idlcness? Many of the girls from the High School have excbanged their pensi for garden hoes and departed to govcrnment camps as farmerettes. Among those who have tempor- arily joined the back ta the land movement are Eleanor Jobnston, Louise Cole, Muriel MacDonald, Nellie Parker, Dorothy Snowden, Wlla Ward, and Ruth Hutchin- son. Muriel MacDonald was one o! the smiling lassies beneath a shady straw hat who beamed at us fromn the pages of the Toronto Star and Telegramn recently. The camps where the giris live whilc doing this work are com- fortable and well supervised. Early hours are observed, since the girls must risc at six, and go to the varlous farms of the dis- trict. Centres ô! this sort are near St. Catharines, and Water- ford. The work is difficuit and tiring, so the best of luck to these young patriots in overalîs. -K- CONSPICUOUS BRAVERY z Dr. Adaline Miller, ship's sur-c geon on board the H.M.S. Britan-1 nia was reccntly awarded the Or-. der o! the British Empire for con-i spicuous bravery under fire. Dr.1 Miller had been aboard the Brit-( annia only three wceks, wben a' German surface raider shelled( the steamer. There werc six bun-i dred passengers aboard, many of! whom were killed or wounded;g two doctors among the passcngers1 helped Dr. Miller until the orderj came to abandon the sbip. The heroic woman doctor was one o! the last to leave the Britannia,1 a nally spent 27 hours in an op~foa with 65 passengers. in y ofâWem wounded. Dr. Mil- ler took c arge o! the patients as. calmly as if she had been in the ceorridors o! hier own hospital. When they were picked up by a Spanish Merchantman and later Miller discovered hier father, also a ship's surgeon on board. Father and daughter immediatcly oper- ated on many o! the patients. This courageous Englishwoman's ex- .' ploit is one o! the legends which will live long after the brutalities and the defeats, even perhaps many o! the victories are forgotten by all but a few historians buried in the musty pages o! their heavy tomes. DO YOU KNOW THEM?1 Gasoline rations are being dras-i tically cut this week. Perhaps this1 step will eliminate our local pests (dan you identify them?) those who have apparently lost aIl use o! their limbs, except in contact witb an accelerator, and Iess of- ten a brake, and wbo drive cars decorated with a gaudy V for vic- tory. These patriotic citizens, ai- though as able bodicd as Jack Dempsey, are invariably seen in civilian attire, and neyer have any apparent destination. Thtey can be scen at any bour o! the day or nigbt on the streets o! Bow- manville. Do you know them? -K- RED CROSS GARDEN PARTY The Red Cross is -holding a Gar- den Party tomorrow <Friday) in the garden o! Mrs. J. H. H. Jury. corner of Silver and Wellington Streets. This is the second year Mrs. Jury has generously donated her beautiful garden for this event. Those who were there last year will remember the multi- colored roses and peonies in ful bloom. Plan to attend this Garden Party and spend your shekels freely. No worthier destination could be found for your money. The Red Cross is doing a grand war work. And to continue with the theme of the Red Cross and at the risk of repeating last week's plea: Please, ail you needie and thrcad wielders plan to be at the Red Cross Rooms on Temnperance Street at least once a wcek this summer. LESS TALK,,PLEASE The government is asking us to cut down unnecessary telephone conversations in future. Even now it is impossible to have a new telephone installed and there is a rumor (let us hope unfounded) that dials will be abolished for the duration. At any rate do have that daily gossip over the back fence as in days of yore, since men both in and out of the gov- ernment dlaim that women use telephones oftener for unneces- sary purposes than men. This is undoubtedly a gross libel but it really is well within the reali of possibility for everyone to cut telephone conversations down from their present book-length form. READY FOR ARMY WEEK Next week has been set aside to honor the gentlemen in khaki. Plans for observatiori of army week, as it is to be called, will be found elsewhere in this issue, but a private rite which everyonc may carry out is this: Just think for a fcw minutes o! whcre we would be now if it were not for our own boys in the services and those in the forces o! other allied countries like England and Rus- sia, to name only two. Also think o! how much these boys are giving up for us and our protection. Since this is not a plug for a re- cruiting drive we will not men- tion certain healtby young men in mufti . .. they may have flat feet anyway. Do make army wcek the week o! remembcring thc boys in the armed forces. _K_ CARELES9 MOTORISTS On Sunday night there was a* f ire alarm. Before the fire truck could leave the station, a swarmn o! cars blocked its way. The quiet streets o! Bowmanvillc suddcnly rescmbled a motorized bargain basement with sightseers hurrying and scurrying hither and thither with no thought in mind but a box seat at the fire. To the great disappointment o! the milling herd o! spectators, the f ine was distinctly unexcitlng, but in the case o! a serious fire, the cf- ficicncy o! the fine department would be greatly hampercd by the childish behaviour o! many o! our adult citizens . .. at lcast we suppose thiey were adults since the worst offendens were the drivers o! the cars that raced up to the ftre hall the moment the alarn sounded. A fire is not a genenal enter- tainmcnt. If you feel that the ex citement is necessany at 1 c a s t wait until the fire truck is out o! the station before cluttering Up thc street with your totally useless car and using up your very necessary gas or try walk- ing. A serious fire is dangerous enough without adding the hazard o! thoughtless and criminally caneless motonists to thc problems o! the fire dcpantment. -K- The Statesman deadline (abso- lutcly immovable) is upon us, s0 with a last plea for the Red Cross Garden Party to-morrow, we write our weekly finis.

So in the future as in. the past the latch- string of the humble Pinch man- sion will always be hanging out- side with a cordial welcome to all. Moving Day Next to the word "love" the word "fricnd" stands nespiendent in human experience. Some time ago a friend by the name o! "Old Age," who had become very friendly, told me rather bluntly to listen to him. "You have had your days. Why bang around wherc you anc not needcd or at least not wanted? You ougbt to be tbankful to be asked occa- sionally to say grace or to pro- nounce the benediction, but some- one else bas been chosen to give the speech o! the evening. You have had youn turn, let up or, in other words, let down. Relax, en- joy leisure. How is youth to have any noom with youn old hulk blocking up the gangway. Move on or up or down or anywhcre except staying here. It is youth's turn." I did not like the idea o! youth shoving me of! the bench whcre I had been sitting so long and in onder to keep fnom bcing shoved off,' I took Old Age's advice. I got up pleasantly and walked away mai estically giving the impression that I bad a more important en- gagement elsewhcre and that I had a shance to catch my breath before moving to the land where youth is eternal. Gettlng Ready to Move Now the owner o! the tenement that we have occupied for eighty- six years bas given niotice that he will furnish littie or nothing more lýy way o! repairs and advised us to gct ready to move. At first this was not a vcry welcome notice. The surroundings here arc, in many respects, very plea- sant and were it not for the cvi- dence o! decay, we would con- sider the bouse good cnough for many years with little repairi»ng. It is plainly seen that the roof or head is thin and bare in spotan sadly in need o! repairs, andth windows or cyes anc dim, and the radio or cars will not tune in on long distance as in carlier life. The door or mouth has settled and not quite plumb and the whole structure tumbles when a light wind blows. So we are picking up, neady to move. We bave looked up maps o! our prospective home and have nead the description in Revelations and Psalms. Many loved ones bave moved there. Those whose love bas been proved by the greatest possible test: a lifetime o! acquaintande and companionship. On taking inventory o! life, we find our cup bas overflowed and before us stretches the road that will lead us borne, wbere the inhabitants neyer grow old and in alI that fair land, parting neyer cornes. A little deed o! kindness and a nainbow shines through the mist. A prayer and a cincle of joy 1and' gladness nipples out to the edge o! eternity. So it is only the Mrs.. D. J.
