Calls for help are comin, in from all the apple-growing sections of the province, both eas and west of Toronto, and hund reds of pickers are required at once. The Ontario Farm Servic Force director, Alex Maclaren, re commends that those who can spare time for apple picking en deavour to secure this kind of work on farms in their own neighborhood. There are ample opportunities in every apple growing locality, and by finding .places where they can pick, men and women tan make direct con tacts with growers and save time Those who are unable to do so however, can be placed at once by applying to the Ontario Farm Service Force, Parliament Build ings, Toronto.

Burns of the R.C.O.C., has this week been vis- iting his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Burns, Elgin St., for the first time since he was nearly fatally burned in the holocaust on Dec. 12th, 1942, at the K. of C. Hostel at St. John's, Newfound- land, where over one hundred soldiers and civilians lost their lives in the fire. Melville was terribly burned about the face, head, hands, arms and legs and has been in hospital all this time taking treatments as well as undergoing ten serious opera- tions. He has lost the four fin- gers on his left hand and since coming to Christie Hospital in Toronto a monthago the doctors found .t, necessary to amputate two fint ors on his right hand. The night of the terrible catas- trophe Melville was having lunch with one of his pals in the hostel when, the alarm was sounded. Several hundred people were in the building at the time when a mad rush was made by everybody for the exits. He got as far as the door when he was knocked down and trampled on in the panic. They seemed to be com- pletely enveloped in flames and smoke, but he finally extricated himself from under the human pile of bodies and got outside the building. His great coat was burned off his back but thefront f his coat was not touched. Along with many of the victims he was taken to the Royal Canadian Naval Hospital at St. John's where he was giventthe best of medical attention these many months. Although going through such an ordeal and making such a miraculous escape and recovery, he is in the best of spirits and re- grets he will not be able to go overseas and join his brothers,. Pte. Geo. A. Burns and Tpr.1 Frank Burns, who are now in Italy withthe 8th Army. Melville.is 27 years old and be-1 fore enlisting was a moulder with1 the Malleable Iron Works in Osh- awa. He askod us to express his sin- cere thanks and appreciation to the Rotary and Lions Clubs, the Women's Auxiliary and other cit- izens for sending him* cigarettes and many other kindnesses shown him.

We would like also to extenc our sympathy to his wife anc loved ones, and to express our sincere condolence to the congre- gation of Northminster Unitec Church, which Dr. Milîson was serving so happily and successful ly when his call came." Make Appointments Rev. A. M. Irwin of Whitby was appointed chairman of the official board of Northminster Church. Rev. H. G. Crozier was electec chairman of the committee or Evangelism and Social Service, and Rev. R. H. Wylie of Colum- bus, superintendent of North Osh. awa Mission, to fill the positions left vacant by Mr. Millson's death. Rev. R. E. Morton, chairman of Presbytery, presided at the meet. ing. Owing to the busy season a smaller number of laymen than uslual were present. Dr. J. C. Cochrane, secretary of the pension fund for the United Church, gaveureasonstwhy the pension fund is being taken out of the missionary and maintenance fond, and made a separate levy on each congregation. This change will be made in 1944. Rev. Geo. Easton, D.D., presi- dent of the Bay of Quinte Con- ference, made a strong plea for the cultivation of the spiritual life of the Church, and the sacrifice of things material for things spiritual. "The military and in- dustrial fronts," he said, "are be- ing supported by taxation, but the spiritual front by voluntary ef- fort,, and yet it stands for the maintenance of all that is best in our national and world life." Challenge to Church An interesting discussion fol- lowec a paper by Rev. John Mc- Lachlan of Newtonville, on "The Sects Challenge the Church." Mr. McLachlan pointed out that small sects sometimes grew into large and influential churches. Some reasons for the rise of "sects" are a sense of economic inferiority, religious neglect and a desire for a more.emotional type of religion than is found in the older churches. He urged the church to give more care to its great un- churchedareas,rand the ministers to a deeper evangelical note in their preaching. In the discussion Rev. H. G. Crozier urged a stronger emphasis on the social implications of the Gospel. Mr. W. A. Holliday of Whitby called for personal dedi- cation to Christ. Rev. F. H. Joblin suggested that the "literai" views of the Bible in the past may have produced a deeperhpiety among young people than the more scien- tific views held to-day. Rev. A. D. Cornett strongly defended the present generation of youth, and referred to the splendid spirit of sacrifice manifested by the men in the armed services. At noon the ladies of the Church, under the auspices of the W.A., provided such a bountiful dinner, that the members of Pres- bytery wondered how it could be done in view of rationing. Rev. J. E. Griffith, a former minister, ex- oressed on behaîf of Presbytery, how much they enjoyed the din- ner and their gratitude to the ladies. Mrs. John Pearce, Pres. of the W.A. replied fittingly, stating it was not only pleasant but also profitable in several ways to have the honor of entertaining the Presbytery. Rev. Willis Hancock, formerly of Crooked Creek and Clarke, "listened in" on the Pres- bytery meetings and was welcom- ed by the Presbytery and called upon to say a few words which heo did nicely, expressing his delight to meet the men, even though many of them were strangers to him. His brothers live in New- castle but he has spent all his nnstry iSaskatchewan Cen- and Mrs. J. McLachlan, intimate friends, the two families having known each other for years in the W'est.

First Call For Fall Salvage Collection Get ready, folks, the salvage collectors are again on the ram- page. Deputy Reeve Sid Little, who is again in charge of this campaignhas asked us to0notify the citizens that the local drive will take place on Thursday and Friday, October 14 and 15. This is, therefore, just an advance notice to advise you to scurry around the house, garage, shop, barn, back yard and any other place where salvage accumulates and gather if together ready for the collectors. And for goodness sake, Sid said, (in fact, he used stronger lan- guage than that), tell the people to use care in securely tieing the bundles of paper as loose papers will not be picked up. Put rags in separate bundles. Leather or rubber boots are not wanted. Auto tires and tubes are the only kind of rubbor wanted this time. Metals of all kinds are also needed. This is all the orders Sid gave us this time, other than to say put something in The Statesman every week from now till Oct. 15 aboub the annual fall salvage col- lection. If there's any further in- formation you want, phone Sid at 380 any night after 6 o'clock. Dictatorship: A system of gov- ernmentwhere everything that isn'f fonbidden is obligatory.

At the Lind- say Central Exhibition last week, their show herd was awarded the following trophies: In the bull classes-Senior and Grand Cham- pionship on Eaton Hall Chieftain Fayne; Reserve Jr. Champion Bull, and the Jr. Champion Fe- male. The herd had the distinc- tion of winning 9 first prizes and 9 second awards. Muir and Sons were the premier exhibitors and were awarded the Bank of Com- merce cup for the best Holstein herd of cattle. Cartwright Farmer Loses $250 Which Man Finds On Street A couple weeks ago Thos. Smith, une of the well-known Smith Bros. uf Cartwright, was în Bowmanville Safonday nighf. The next morning when he felt in bis pocketfofun is usual Cbunch collection ho found his noli of bills amoonting f0 nearly $250 was missing., Having been to Cobourg the previous day he im- mediaeby made tracks for the County Town, keeping a vigilant e etalong the highway in search of the missing wad, but no sec- ces. On his homeward trip he called on Chief S. Venton to see if anyone had called at the Police Office with the money, but again he was disappointed. Backga townhTom came again Monday in search of his hard-earned cash, and this time Chief Venton told him the encouraging news that Albert E. Dudley, a Goodyear employee had found some money, but he didn't know how much. Away Tom beat it to Mr. Dudley's bouse with his heart palpitating double beats and almost out of breath by the time he reached Odell St. Yes, Mr. Dudley was home and he had found some money opposite Frank Cryder- man's blacksmith shop, along the curb, while going to work in the morning. How much did you lose Mr. Smith was asked. Well, as close as ho could figure if was between $247oand $250. Well, said Mr. Dudley, I guess I found it and he produced the roll, greatly to Tom's satisfaction and relief. He gave him a liberal reward for his honesty in returning the money and said if that isn't enough you can have it all, for you found it. However, both men were satisfied and Tom now has more faith in the honesty of his fellowmen. About a year ago Mr. Dudley found a pay envelope on the street belonging to a fellow Goodyear employee and quickly returned it to its owner. Comedy Of Errors Mistakes will happen in the best regulated businesses, and the newspaper business is no exception. Last week a 3-line item appeared in the Social and Personal column about a local soldier spend- ing the week-end at home. We found out later the only correct part in the whole item was the man's name. The rank given him was incorrect, the place where he was sta- tioned was wrong and he wasn't guest of his mother, for she is visiting relatives in Winnipeg. I wonder how many of our readers can de- tect the item referred to with this explanation. However, we offer our sincere apolo- gies to all concerned for bungling the personal. The editor takes the full blame with the explanation, like many other offices we are terribly short staffed and the occasional mistake is bound to happen. Under such cir- cumst'ances we again appeal to our readers to co-operate with us by sending in your list of visitors and other news items to make The Statesman "better than a letter from home." Laurence Morton B.'H. S. Student Wins Ontario Scholarship Laurence Morton, son of Rev. R. E. and Mrs. Morton, Newcastle, has been awarded the Province of Ontario Scholarship for the year 1943. The scholarship, which is worth $400 to non-residents of the Universityis granted for gen- eral proficiency in the course which is completed for the On- tario Secondary School Gradua- tion Diploma. To be eligible there must be written not more than 10 papers and not fewer than 8 of the Grade XIII examinations. English Liter- ature and English Composition must be included in these. The minimum was sixty per cent to be obtained on seven of these papers. Laurence is enrolled in the Victoria College, University of Toronto. Intensive Course in Defense Training Started At High School An intensive course in Defense Training is being organized and will be carried out this year in Bowmanville High School im- mediately following a three weeks' leave from Sept. 24th to October 18th. This leave is grant- ed so that the pupils may pick apples and perform various other necessary work among the farm- ers in this district. All forms of the High School will be closed and not just the 3rd, 4th and 5th as previously supposed. Miss H. Rice is instructing the 4th and 5th form boys in the Theory of Flight, which deals chiefly with airhpressures, and Navigation, which includes map and compass reading in both Air Force and Navy branches. Fourth formers will also be given signal- ling. Mr. G. B. Goulding is in charge of the map reading and first aid for the 3rd form boys. Aircraft recognition and knofs and lash- ings taught by Mr. G. Elliott and Mr. A. Anderson are on the time- table for 2nd form. The girls areMunder the super- vision of Miss M. Moore and Miss L. Taylor. The 2nd forms will be given military organization, aîrcraft recognition, small arms training and knots and lashings; 3rd form and commercial-physi ology, dealing with the nervous system, and healthful living. Miss Taylor is teaching a Home Nons- ing and First Aid course to 4th fermgirls and Miss Moore, in- fernal combustion of engines. Lait year a imaîl part of this Defense Course was taught but during 1943 and 44 it il be dealt with in great detail and it is ex- pected that the important infor- mation gathered will be of value to the students in any work they choose upon leaving school. Trinity Young People Hold Fellowship Hour After Church SOn Sunday evening members of Trinity Young People's Union held their initial meeting of the Sunday Fellowship Hour, at the parsonage. After an enjoyable sing-song, President Doris Dudley stated the purpose of the meeting which is to bring the young peo- ple together, once a month, to discuss personal, religious, as well as national and international problems with their minister. Rev. J. E. Griffith conducted the discussion and introduced the ifudy book "Highways uf the Heat" which is an exceedingly interesting and thought-provok- ing booklet dealing with the course "The Faith We Hold." Mr. Griffith presented this same study at the Executive Leadership Camp at Oak Lake early in August and several of the young people were anxious to study the subject in further detail. The first topic was "God" and the "Crea- tion" whereby the statement of faith "So we. acknowledgc God as Creator, Upholder and Sovereign Lord of all thing, and the righteous and loving Father of Men" was reached. Two Candidates Qualify Causing Municipal Election Nomination meeting held Mon- day to fill the vacancy in Town Council caused by the death of Councillor W. J. Martyn resulted in three being nominated but only two qualified. Thus an elec- tion will be held Monday, Sept. 27th. The candidates are Norman Allison and Edward J. Gibbs, both Goodyear employees and members of Union No. 189. Mr. Allison was nosed out in the civic elections last year, and has not had any municipal experi- ence. Mr. Gibbs was a member of Council some years ago. Ex- Councillor B. B. Furber was nominated but did not qualify. It seems like useless expendi- ture of the ratepayers' money to hold an election at this time, as the term of office only stands good for three months when the annual civic elections are held. It's to be regretted that the can- didates could not arrange a saw- off when both are employed in the same industry and belong to the same union. There are over 2000 electors qualified to vote, but it is doubtful if 500 citizens will bother voting under the cir- cumstances. Alex Lyle, Town Clerk and Returning Officer, is to be com- mended in his action to save money by having only one polling booth in each ward, instead of two. If you feel the urge to vote, the polling booths are: West Ward- Town Hall; North Ward-Pump House; South Ward-South Ward School. Voting takes place from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. St. Joseph's Church Holds Euchre & Draw Jas. Infantine Winner On the occasion of their annual draw for a Victory Bond, the Church held a social evening of uchre in A. L. Darch's store on Tuesday. The winners at cards were: lst Norman J. Allin; 2nd Mrs. Somerscales; 3rd Mrs. R. Bird; 4th Mrs. Coyle. Norman Gilmore drew thewinning tickets for the draw. The $5000 Bond went to James Infantine; $15.00 to Elmer Ott; $10.00 to E. Turner. On behaîf of the members of his church and himself, Rev. S. J. Coffey expressed his sincere ap- preciation to all who so kindly contributed to the success of both events. Lawn Bowling Club Awards Chickens As Coveted Prizes The local lawn bowling green was filled to capacity on Friday evening when eleven rinks from Oshawa and five from Bowman- ville competed in twilight mixed doubles. The prizes of chickens, were evenly distributed, and the following were the winners: lst - Eddy Goodman Mrs. Walter Lynde, Oshawa; 2nd-A. E. Free- man, Mrs. F. C. Hoar, Bowman- ville; 3rd - Alf Jewell, Mrs. Clements, Oshawa; 4th--Sid. M. Scott, Miss MabelBorland, Bow- manville. Premier George Drew Broadcasts Account Of His Stewardship Premier George Drew, follow- aing a Cabinet Meeting held this weok, annuunced that ho wouid gîve an accountf the steward- ship of bis Govennment to the peopleof Ontaio in a radio ad- dress on Friday night, September 24th,. The Premier, whose Gov- Premier Geo. A. Drew ernment has been in office a little over four weeks, has created a precedent and a great deal of pub- lic interest by the announcement of his radio address. Prompt action has been taken by the Government to imple- ment the twenty-two point pro- gram announced by Premier Drew during the election cam- paign.
