Adam- son, Hampton, arrived overseas April 23. PO Adamson, a gradu- ate of Bowmanville High School, left a position with the office staff of the Goodyear Rubber Company to take a government-sponsored course in radio. In June of last year he joined the R.C.A.F. and attended No. 31 Radio School at Clinton. Upon his graduation he was given his commission and chosen, one of nine, from his class to take an advanced course at the U.S. Naval Air Technical Train- ing Centre in Corpus Christi, Texas. This special course is the highest training that can be given on this continent.

Mrs. J. Thickson Heads Women's Institute Bowmanville Women's Institute met in the Parish Hall, Thursday, with a good attendance of mem- bers and a few visitors. Mrs. Ross Strike, guest speaker, gave an instructive talk on "Food Values" stressing the vitamin con- tent of most of the more access- ible articles of food. Score cards were distributed which will assist in education for better eating hab- its and making.the most of ra- tioned products. Mrs. Fred Baker moved a vote of appreciation to Mrs. Strike. Items of business included pay- ment of 15 cents per member to the Federated Women's Institutes; owing to wartime restrictions to have no part in the District Co- operative program; to provide one car to transport delegates to the District Convention to be held at Blackstock on June 9, and the ap- pointment of Mrs. G. C. Allchin as representative to the Women's Advisory Committee of the War- time Prices and Trade Board. As this was the annual meet- ing, election of officers was held with Mrs. C. Robinson presiding in the absence of Mrs. W. B. Pol- lard, convener of the nominating committee. Slate of officers was passed as follows: Past Pres., Mrs. Fred Baker; Pres., Mrs. J.

Archie Martin Of Newcastle Tells Of Aerial Blitz On Malta The spirit of Malta is a byword, but few know about the heroism of the flying and ground staff of a certain fighter airfield there, which was one of the main tar- gets of the aerial blitz on the George Cross Island. Flight Serg- eant Archie Martin, of Newcastle, Ont., happened to be barracked in it at the time, and though he has since taken part in the Battles of Egypt and Malta as a wireless air gunner, he seems to think his ex- periences "aloft" were dwarfed by the 16 days he spent on that air- drome. Back in Britain now, he de- scribed his adventures in a recent interview. "Air raids averaged six a day," he commented. "Just before I left, we had one raid in which about 105 JU88's dive - bombed the 'drome. The noise was unbeliev- able. Next morning 75 came over and that afternoon 50 more fol- lowed." "Everybody loaned a hand, building blast walls to protect the Spitfires," he continued. "The Spits were kept flying, somehow. There was a convoy to be pro- tected and those boys were up all the time, fighting the Jerries off 'til it arrived in harbour." That was Martin's introduction to the Mediterranean theatre of war and the rest of the show was in keeping. He flew in a Welling- ton bomber during Rommel's ad- vance into, and withdrawal out of Egypt. Later he returned twice to Malta and took part in raids on Italy and Sicily. Like most other aircrew who engaged in the Battles of Egypt and Lybia, Martin said he found Tobruk the toughest target. Small in area, it was packed with de- fences and he admitted they were "banged about plenty by 'flack' there". Once, one engine "Packed up" from flack damage and his air- craft was forced to crash-land in the desert. Somewhat to the sur- prise of the crew, they had to trek only a couple of miles over the sands before reaching the green delta, where they were able to get transportation. During the Axis advance into Egypt, Martin and his crew often strafed enemy trucks and cars, which the Germans were parking in large groups. They were met only by rifle and revolver fire, which proved completely ineffec- tive. "At that, our strafing didn't seem to do much good at the time," Martin said, "But when Rommel retreated months later, the desert was messed up with wreckage and fires everywhere." Back in Malta, with a new crew, all English except himself, Martin was involved in a bad landing crash. Due to poor visibility the pilot undershot the runway and the Wellington crashed into a wall. It was totally wrecked and the second pilot was killed, but Martin escaped all injury. Gala Banquet Climaxes Men's Canadian Club Year A gala banquet with Canada's minister of justice as guest speak- er climaxed a highly successful year for the Men's Canadian Club of Bowmanville. Held at the Balmoral Hotel, Monday night, the banquet was at- tended by members of the club, their wives, and several friends. At the head table were G. F. An- nis, president of the club; Hon. Louis St. Laurent, minister of jus- tice for Canada, the guest speaker; Mrs. G. F. Annis, wife of the president; W. F. Rickard, New- castle, M.P. for Durham, and his daughter, Mrs. John F. Edwards, who was up from Nova Scotia on a visit. A musical program was provid- ed by W. E. C. Workman, piano solo, and Melville Dale, vocal solo. L. W. Dippell proposed the toast to the ladies and this was responded to by Mrs. Harold Gib- son, Newcastle. President Annis called on Mr. Rickard who introduced Mr. St. Laurent to the gathering. Mr. St. Laurent started by paying tribute to the late W. N. Tilley, K.C., a Bowmanville boy. "My late lamented friend, W. N. Tilley, K.C., was a town boy. I knew Tilley and I appreciated his qualities as a lawyer and a citizen. Finding myself in your midst now, among people who knew him so well and are proud of the char- acter he had, I will pay this pass- ing tribute to his memory," he said. Tribute was paid to Canadians Louis St. Laurent for their part in the war effort. "When this war broke out in 1939 many of us failed to realize what kind of a war it was going to be," he declared. "We thought of it as one of those European clashes which, of course, would affect our way of life for a time to a cer- tain extent but that it was some- one else's war. It was only after the fall of France, heroic retreat from Dunkirk and the ferocious bombardment of Britain that we fully realized what we were up against. We realized for Germany to win this war would mean the destruction of the free spirit of men. "Canada was faced with the gi- gantic task of raising an army, navy and air force, clothing, feeding and equipping them and turning out supplies of war. I think that it must now be recog- nized that the splendid job has been done. A total war effort was required and the Canadian people have responded," he said. "I wish to stress here the ac- complishments of our civil pop- ulation as the foundation of a total effort. In the first seven months of war our total expendi- ture for war purposes amounted to $118,000,000. In the current ficsal year it will reach $4,890,- 000,000. It is estimated the next fiscal year will be $5,500,000,000. "Canada's war expenditures for the next fiscal year will require taxation on a scale never equalled before and not surpassed any- where in the world," Mr. St. Laurent said. "The plan bas been to pay as we go, half of our war expendi- ture. We didn't quite do it last year. Tax receipts yielded 49.4 per cent of the expenditures but this year lIMr. Ilsley plans to get a little better than 50 per cent or $2,753,000,000 in taxes against $2,- 748,000,000 of borrowings," Mr. St. Laurent said. "Only six months have elapsed since the last Victory Loan but the government has spent b a c k among the people more than twice the amount it is now seeking," he said. "Since the beginning of the war Canadians have contributed to the government in loans and taxes eight and a half billions. After doing that the money we have left in our pockets has increased by $426,000,000 and bank deposits have gone up $1,159,000,000. "There can be no doubt that the Canadian public can oversub- scribe the loan if there is a will to do so," he concluded. Fred Hoar was spokesman for the club and thanked Mr. St. Laurent for his splendid address. He, too, paid tribute to the Can- adian government in the words, "They started from scratch and performed miracles." Pecking Out A Message A fiery little red-head out Ty- rone way must have heard the Biblical story of the prodigal son -else how could this have hap- pened? jLorne Annis, Tyrone, sent an S.O.S. to the Bell Telephone at Bowmanville, yesterday, to come out and repair his telephone as it was out of order. Investiga- tion proved that the wire near the instrument had been cut, and thereby hangs the tale. It seems Lorne Annis had a pet red-headed woodpecker. A while ago the bird disappeared. Re- ported missing, he was later pre- sumed dead. Early Tuesday morning Mr. Annis heard a "peck, peck, peck" sound at one of the windows. The sound continued for a while and then there was a crash and the clink of falling glass. Silence for a few moments and the pecking started again. Mr. Annis went to investigate and was astonished to see the lost woodpecker. It was a happy re- union, to say the least. The little red-head forgave Mr. Annis for not being on hand to welcome him when he first ar- rived. He was particularly happy about another thing because his strategy had worked. He had smashed the glass and in his own fashion had tried to call Mr. Annis on the telephone. Latest County Victory Loan Total Stands At $512,000 Town Drops To Sixth Place Hon. Harry C. Nixon Long-time Provincial Secretary, who was elected leader of the Liberal Party in Ontario on the first ballot at the Liberal Con- vention last week. While no an- nouncement has been made as yet it is generally presumed that he will be promoted to the Premier- ship at an early date. That, how- ever, will await definite an- nouncement from the present Premier, Hon. G. D. Conant, as to his intentions. Percy R. Cowling Was 10,000th Blood Donor Percy R. Cowling of Centre St., Bowmanville, had the honor of being the 10,000th donor Friday morning at the Blood Donor Ser- vice, Mary St., Oshawa. Percy is a native of Bowmanville where he conducts a drug business. When he was asked by The Statesman what incentive he possessed when he gave his first donation, he replied, "I haven't any relatives in the services, I just felt it my duty". This was his fourth donation. Sitting beside Cowling, partak- ing of his \lunch of toast, jam and coffee was Leonard H. Barton of Wellington St., Bowmanville, who had just given his third donation. Leonard lost his left hand three years ago in the Goodyear plant in Bowmanville, but feels that this shouldn't prevent him from doing his part. He has one brother in the army at Kingston.

The Township of Darlington, while it is ahead of last year, is still showing disappointing results as far as the general canvass is concerned. Bank returns for the township are satisfactory, but the canvassers are experiencing great difficulty in securing subscrip- tions. The old story of "Come back Board of Education Appoints S. R. James Secretary-Treasurer The Wartime Prices and Trade Board bas authorized the change of ownership of the Insurance business known as J. J. Mason & Son, and in the future it will be operated under the name of Stuart R. James. Mr. James took over the busi- ness officially on May lst. As- sociated with Mr. James will be his grandfather, J. J. Mason, and he will have the capable assist- ance of Miss Margaret McDonald and Miss Helen Nelles. Not only is the business carry- ing on with the same personnel as when the late C. H. Mason was there, but it will be, at then, the headquarters for the Bowman- ville Board of Education. At a special meeting of the board Stuart R. James was ap- pointed secretary-treasurer to fill the vacancy caused by the death of his uncle, C. H. Mason. Amount to Date $ 48,350 150,900 86,000 48,400 56,500 72,050 19,250 30,550 ,$ 512,000 % of Objective 46 30 32 44 51 31 36 55 36.6% and see me next week" is still prevalent and why at a time like this such an excuse should be made is hardly understandable. Gasoline and tires are such these days that rigid economy has to be effected, and each extra call a canvasser makes means just that much more gasoline is used and further wear and tear on tires. "There is a limit to what a man can do." A battlefield and a row of crosses brings home very poig- nantly the truth that "death in the field" does put a limit on what we can do. R.C.A.F. Gets Recruits From Visit Last Week Several took advantage of the opportunity provided by the R.C. A.F., April 28, to obtain informa- tion with a view to enlisting in either the air ýcrew or the women's division. "The response on the part of Bowmanville's men was highly satisfactory but as far as the girls are concerned, we hope to do better next time," S.O. Phyllis Thompson told The Statesman. S.O. Thompson and Fit. Lieut. Thomas Pryde spent Wednesday afternoon and evening at the Town Hall interviewing prospec- tive recruits. "I don't mean that the response was negative by any means, but I feel sure there must be more girls who are interested in the service than appeared. We have a few aircrew prospects out of the group," she said. S.O. Thompson and Fît. Lieut. Pryde expect to be in town again in six or eight weeks.
