THURSDAY, MARCH llth, 1943 THE CANADIAN STATESMAN, BOWMANVILLE, ONTARIO A War is just about as dangerous1 was in the old prohibition days for the innocent bystander. as it1 around Chicago. Newcastle In Color Featured By Carveth A rare treat was provided for Bowrnanville Rotarians Friday noon by Reeve C. R. Carveth of Newcastle. Following the lunch- eon-rneeting Rofarian Fred Hoar introduced Mr. Carveth wbo, dur- ing the next three-quarters of an hour, showed two reels in natural color of scenes and personages in Newcastle. Keats in Endymion wrote: "A thing of beauty is a joy forever; its loveliness increases; it will neyer pass into nothingness" and Mr. Carveth must have had this in mind when he took bis beauti- fui pictures. Roses, peonies, irises and other flowers in a rainbow of colors from Newcastle gardens, mncludîng those of Dr. J. A. Butler and Henry Cowan; spots of in- terest in the village; scenes in summer and winter along the lakefront; and personages such as Postmaster George Jamieson, Mrs. Law, and Provincial Con-' stable W. F. Thornpson, were in. cluded. Of particular interest were the glîmpses of Durham's glory-the apple orchards heavy with pink and white bloom in the spring and later in the season laden with appealing fruit. With snow on the ground out- side the Balmoral and a temper- ature hovering close to the zero mark, it provided a refreshing pause in the day for the business and professional men gathered there. Appreciation on their be- haîf was voiced by Rotarian R. R. Stevens. This was passed on by President L. W. Dippeli. A feature of the meeting was the initiation of Rev. J. E. Griffith, pastor of Trinity United Church, as a member of the club. Pro- ceedings were conducted by Ro- tarian Geo. Chase and the code of ethies was presented by President L. W. Dippeil.
