o STanaban tahe rman With Which Are Incorporated The Bowmanville News, The Newcastle Independ ent, And The Orono News VOLUME 89BOWMANVILLE, ONT., THURSDAY, JANUARY 28th, 1943 NUMBER 4 ~ - m Amok - - - Residents in town and county are asked to make an effort to donate articles of new and good used clothing to be sentdta the Russian people who are destitute and homeless in war-torn areas of the U.S.S.R. The appeal is being sponsored by the Bowmanville Lions Club. Clothing is to be taken to Lion Bert Parker's shop, King Street, and from here it will be taken to the clothing depot in Oshawa. A splendid gesture has been made by Principal L. W. Dippell and the pupils of- Bowmanville High School. The high school pupils have volunteered to take any articles of clothing entrusted to them to the local depot at Parker's. If you have any cloth- ing to donate, mark it "Aid to Russia" and call in a pupil from the high school. The pupil will .see that it reaches its destination. This will in no way interfere with the collection of clothing for the bomb victims of Britain which is sponsored locally by the Rotary Club. The high school pupils will continue to pick this clothing up and deliver it to the Junior Red Cross at the high school which looks after the packing. Equal care and attention will be given to the delivery of clothing for the Aid to Russia and for the Bomb- ed Victims of Britain. "The citizens can rely on the pupils.of the high school," Princi- pal Dippell told The Statesman. "If they tell them it is for the Aid to Rusia they can be assured it will be taken to Parker's and if it is for the Bomb Vivtims of Bn.- tain it will go to the High School to the Junior Red Cross." Persons donating clothing are asked to exercise care in choosing it. It should be warm, serviceable, and in good condition. Rural Enlistments Are Considered High foluntary enlistments from the outbreak of war in September, 1939 to October 31, 1942, amout- ed to 618,318, according to the Department of National Defence, This total was increased ta 683,335 when the number of "R" recruits who "went active" was included. The Maritimes have led the field in enlistment ratios, Nova Scotia and Prince Edwardisland having 41.5 per cent. of their eligible male population in the services. New Brunswick has 39 per cent. A fairly good indication of how rural communities are answering the call for manpower is given in a recent contingent which arriv- ed overseas. Out of 275 artillery- men and engineers who were in- cluded in one draft from a camp, 175 came from rural commupities and the remaining 100 from cities.tDrumheller, Alberta, isran- other example, where there is an honour roll of enlistments total- ling 1,202 from a population of roughly 3,000. LIBRARY BOARD L. W. Dippell w'as re-elected chairman when the Public Lib- rary Board held its annual meet- ing. Other officers re-elected are M. G. V. Gould, secretary-treasur- er; Rev. W. P. Rogers, Principal A. M. Thompson, Mrs. F. F. Mor- ris, Mrs. J. H. H. Jury, Miss Helen Cryderman, Mrs. J. O'Neill, and Mrs. Howard Jeffrey, members of the board. Mrs. V. Argue is the librarian. Bobbie Burns' Supper Another War Casualty To Bowmanville's list of war casualties may be added Burns' Supper. For the first time in many years the annual Burns' Supper, enjoyed by members and friends of St. Andrew's Presby- terian 'Church, was cancelled. It was due to rationing and food shortages, members stated. Miss Flora Galbraith, member of one of Bowmanville's fine Scotch families, commented: "It is a shame but it can't be helped. pe supper with the piping in of the haggis is a great event for the Scotch. There'll be a day when the war's over that we'll resume them again." Held on January 25, or close to the date, the supper commem- orates the birth of Robert Burns, irmmortal poet. Born January 25, in Ayrshire, Burns was the eldest of seven children. After his fath- er's. death in 1784, he joined his brother in a farming venture which failed. In 1786 he married Jean Armour and when domestic difficulties developed he went to the West Indies and devoted his time to writing verse. His (irst work, Kilmarnock, written in 1786, was a success. Among his best-known works are Mary In Heaven, To a Mouse, Cotter's Sat- urday Night, Auld Lang Syne, Tam O' Shanter, and Ye Banks and Braes. 4' Recent Blood Donors At the Oshawa Blood Donor Clinc blood is taken by a physi- clan, assisted by a graduate nurse. It is a simple and painless process requiring about 15 minutes. But it is a gift most literally, from the donor's heart straight to the heart of another to a Canadian or Allied soldier br sailor who may live to help save all we count precious in this world. The Blood Donor Clinic is sponsored in Bowmanville by the Lions Club. Any person who de- sires to give a donation of blood should get in touch with Dr. W. H. Birks, Stuart R. James or Alex. McGregor for an appointment. Some recent donors from the district include: John Riznek and John H. Herron, both of Courtice; Edward Phillips, James Pickard, Bowmanville (all first donation); Kenneth Butson, Lawrence D. Goddard, Gilbert Doey, Bowman- ville (all second donation); H. Baldwin, Courtice (third dona- tion); Charles D. Searle, Thomas Buttery, Bowmanville (all second donation); Howard Jeffrey, Bow- manville; J. R. Widdecombe, Hampton (all third donation); Alex. McGregor, Stuart R. James, F. Elmer Cox, Bowmanville (all fourth donation), and Mrs. Geo. Reynolds,. Bowmanville. Donors on January 20th were Gwen Gilmer, Doris L. Dudley, Thelma Schlievert, and Helen B. Scott, Bowmanville. Donors on January 22 were: Bruce Stalker, Maple Grove; Ern- est Lingard, Archie Masters, and Alvin W. Alldread, Bowmanville (all second donation); R. G. Hard- ing, J. E. Anderson, and B. T. King, Bowmanville (all second donation); C. M. Shutron, Court- ice; Charles Rundle, Hampton; J. Forbes Heyland and C. H. Mason, Bowmanviile (ail third donation); Charlie S. Shaw, Orono; Ross Stevens, Bowmanville (both fourth donation). Donors on January 25th were: R. Cobbledick, Newcastle (second Sunday was a black day for Terry Donaghue for fire swept hrough his dwelling on the Wharf Road and left him and his small children homeless. First signs of the fire were no- ticed by Donaghue who immedi- ately put in a call for the Bow- manville fire brigade. In spite of a record run, there was little that the brigade could do when it reached the sceneas the flames .had- licked their way sa quickly through the frame building. "Cause of the fire is unknown," Êsaid Fire Chief Lucius Hooper, "but we believe itLstarted from a spark. There were no chimneys and the stove pipes ran from the kitchen right through th the back of the house. As it was a wood fire, it is possible that the wind blew a spark back and it ignited the roof." The contents were destroyed along with the building. It is a total loss as no insurance was car- ried. If there is a man around town who can legitimately claim he has been hounded by bad luck it is Terry Donaghue. On February 5, 1941, his little baby died. On Feb- ruary 5, 1942, his wife died. On January 24, 1943, his house burned down.. When the news of the fire cir- culated around town his friends decided to band together and help him get started again. They se- cured permission from Mayor R. O. Jones to solicit subscriptions to build or buy a bouse for him. Headed by Deputy-Reeve Sid Little as chairman, a committee including Frank Bottrell and N. J. Scott was formed to raise the money required. Members are at work planning and a canvass of the town will be made. At the Goodyear they have formed a shop committee with the consent of the management and a goodly sum will be raised there. T. H. Knight and Rev. F. H. Joblin have agreed to take the re- sponsibility o f spending t h e money raised to the best advant-1 age. TRINITY Y.P.U. On Monday evening about 15 members of Trinity Young Peoples Union greatly enjoyed a toboggan party at Munday's Hill. Arriving back at the church at about 10:30, the social committee served de- licious refreshments of hot soup and crackers. A brief devotional thought was presented by Doris Dudley. Next Monday evening Oshawa Presbytery Training School will be held in the Sun- day School at the usual Union meeting hour. Lions Launch Appèal for Clothing for Russia, High School Pupils Will Assist Shovel Out Boxes Rural mail carriers have a difficult task these days. Not only are the roads heavy with snow and the weather cold, but they find it nearly impos- isble to get near many mail boxes due to the fact that snow has not been shovelled. It isethe duty of boxholders ta see that mail boxes are shovelled out, and it is co- operation wbich the mailman richly deserves. Off Danger List There is good news for all Mel Burns' friends in an air mail let- ter received by his parents, Mr. and Mrs. C. W. Burns, Elgin Street, from Major C. W. Heuston, Offi- cer Commanding, R.C.O.C. Co'y., Force "W," in Newfoundland. "With reference to our previous letters regarding the injuries sus- tained by your son in the Knights of Columbus fire on the night of December 12, 1942, I am pleased to inform you that his name has been taken off the danger list and the hospital authorities have every reason to. look for an early re- covery," is the substance of the message.

Bickle, market gar- dener, Liberty Street, has come forward and cleared up the mystery as to how toma- to seed from Bowmanville reached "The Old Dirt Dub- ber" in Nashville, Tennessee. "I sent the seed down there," admits Mr. Bickle, "but I missed hearing the broadcast. It was a- surprise when I saw the item in last week's Statesman." Mr. Bickle is writing to Mrs. C. Cameron at St. Cath- arines, who informed The Statesman of the broadcast, to tell her he is responsible for the reference on the radio. donation);W. R. W. Young, Court- ice; Roger Crook, Courtice (third donation); Douglas T. Dickson, Bowmanville; and Melvin Gra- ham, Newcastle (fourth donation). GAINING the score was tied 6-6 on three hard-fought scores by each team. Then the Bowmanville defence settled down and as the attack kept piling up the score, forced Whitby to shoot from far out. By half time B. H. S. led 28-10, due chiefly to some outstanding shoot- ing by Gilhooly, Ferguson and McIlveen. After the fast pace of the first sixteen minutes both teams were content to play more carefully. The local defence had the Whitby team completely baffled with the result that the visitors were held to two field goals and a foul shot score. On the other hand, Bow- manville added five more hoops and two successful foul shots to round out 40 points. The two mighty midgets, Fer- guson and Gilhooly, accounted for twenty points between them, while Eric McIlveen, though out of practice, racked up 18 points on eight baskets and two foul shots. Howard Sturrock, going the full 32 minutes at centre, ac- counted for the other two local points. For Whitby, Harden and Ross were best. The score: Bowmanville-Ferguson 8, Gil- hooly 12, Sturrock 2, McIlveen 18, Fletcher, Sleep, Wilcox, Hovey. à Whitby-Perry, Roblin, Rea 2, Harden 2, Mowat 2, Ross 4, Sum- mers, Lynd, Bodin. Mexico, a large exporter of the cocoa bean, will no longer have to import the finished products, cocoa and cocoa butter; Mexico City now has a modern cocoa-pro- cessing plant. Rural Business Men Meet In Bowmanville On Friday, January 15, the Dar- lington and Cartwright Rural Business Men's Association enter- tained their families and staffs at a dinner at the Balmoral Hotel, Bowmanville. After the forty present had enjoyed a turkey din- ner, the remainder of the evening was spent in cards and bowling. Although the roads were almost impassable, members were pres- ent from North and South Nestle- ton, Blackstock, Burketon, Ennis- killen, Hampton and Tyrone. GIRL GUIDE NEWS The Girl Guides held their meeting at the Public School, on Jan. 25. After attendance was marked, the girls were divided into three groups. One was taught first aid by leader Barbaa Rehder; Eileen Couch took a group in Morse code training and another group worked on camp- any charts. The girls were then drilled in marching by Barbara Rehder; leader Eileen Couch an- nounced that there would be en- rollment on Feb. 8. The meeting closed with Taps. Nature bas provided an ideal for military clothing experts to aim at, in endowing the duck with an all-weather protective cover- ing, of ideal warmth yet light in weight, thoroughly ventilated and imperious to moisture. Is The End Near ? Slowing Down-Why? Sgnificant things are hap- pening in wartime produc- tion in this zone. We have first-hand information that hours are being reduced, men laid off and that permission has been given by the metals controller to release metal for do esticnproduction. These Lhappenings involve w o r k among plants operated by the Britisl Ministry of Supply, by the government itself and by private enterprise. All this while a serious strike among steel-workers makes interna- tional headlines, while we are told that a manpower crisis exists and that every hour and every ounceis vitally needed. What is the signifi- cance of al this? Is the end af the war so imminent that a slowdownk as been order- ed? The workers involved are concerned a n d are asking questions. It seems to cail for general public informa- tion, for it surely is not an "all-out war effort.

As an- nounced at the Lions meeting Monday night the objective is now set at one thousand dollars. L. J. C. Langs, treasurer of the special committee, in turning the list of donations to The Statesman yesterday, was confident that the fund would pass its objective. Although the fund is supposed to close on January 31, anyone who has a donation and cannot get it in by that date may hand, it in next week.

Living, warden, at the Annual Vestry Meeting of St John's Church, held in the chape Monday evening, showed a sub stantial balance and no liabilities The rectar, the Rev. Canon C R. Spencer, reported Uhat the church was free from debt, and that no monies had been borrowed for over six years. Ail the organ- izatians showed a bigher balance in thein financial statements. Besides attending to his duties as chaplain ta the Veteran's Guard, tenrector has made 672 visits on his parishioners, and has attended 312 meetings, Il funer- als, 15 baptisms, 12 marriages, and given 156 addresses. He expressed his heartiest thanks to the wardens, choir, and Altar Guild for their faithful at- tendance at all services, and to all others who, by their kind serv- ices had strewn his path with the many little pleasantries which helped to make his task lighter. He asked those at the meet- ing to visit the parishioners representing the church, and thus to create a closer bond of broth- erhood and family ties within the church itself. His invitation to be present and enjoy with him the Intercession Services every Thursday morning at 10 o'clock was again extencded to all. L. A. Parker was asked to con- inue as rector's warden, a posi- ion he has so ably filled since he departure of Walter Carpen- er. The rector reported several :ubscriptions being received since he New Year, which will further enhance the balance on hand. AI- o, he reported, that $122.20 had been generously donated (by giv- rs who, it would seem, prefer to emain anonymous), to the Arctic Mission, to help advance the work of Bishop Fleming who for so many years was a summer resi- ent at Bowmanville Beach. The llotment of $567.19 was paid in full. J. A. Living was elected Peo- les Warden for the sixth con- ecutive year. Harry Sutton will gain be the Sidesmen Convenor. Mrs. E. C. C.
