SnratBan taTe man With Which Are Incorporated The Bowmanville News, The Newcastle Independent, And The Orono News VOLUME 89 BOWMANVILLE, ONT., THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 30th, 1943 NUMBER39 Speaker Claims Children Bear Promise Better World Inas his subject, "Our SngSocial Heritage," Dr Kén Rogers, concluded hs bril- liant and stimulating address witli the startling statement, "Children bear the promise of a better world." Dr. Rogers, Past District Gov- ernor of the Lions International and Secretary of the Big Brother- hood Movement, Toronto, made his talk different from the run-of- mine speeches in the fact, that while he first painted a pessimis- tic picture, he finished by out- lining a solution. Comparing the after-war future to the view from his -boyhood home, when dark clouds used to roll across the lake, as if bent on eliminating his home, he men- tioned that manufacturers hold the key to a better post war in- dustrial world. He quoted from an address by Bishop Owen after he had returned from overseas, that our Canada must be different to the returning members of our armed forces, from the Canada which they left. There must he no need for riding the rails and sleeping in any corner while seek- îng jobs. Also that we must try to understand these fellows when they return. Dr. Rogers dealt at length with the increased juvenile delinquen- cy and the reasons for it. The F.B.I. of the United States has warned that there will be an in- creasé in juvenile crime after the war. The reason is due to this national crisis, when fathers, then mothers, then club leaders and teachers have been taken from their peacetime work. After the war, will the parents know and be able to understand these child- ren from whom they have been separated, queried the speaker. To combat this, we must think about post war plans. Not just read what is planned for rehabili- tation and accept it for granted that everything is being taken care of, but we must face the facts. Three things in community life are of main importance. Family, School, Religion, or Home, School, Church, and not necessarily in that order. Dr. Rogers told how the state in England had stepped in and helped keep the home to- gether in cases where the parents were out working or in the forces, and that the experiment had been successful. Instead of returning to the good old days, he said, we must t:*e the good elements from those d)/ys and fit them into the present. There should be adult education and parents should beJ taught more about the child prob- lems. In my mind, said Dr. Rogers, there is no doubt that the schools and systems of today are far superior to those of his school days, but we must remember that school is for the child, not for the building or for the system. The school should be a community centre, not alone for the childrenf but for adults as well, and that religion should be for the per- sons, not for the creed. Bringing is address to a close, Dr. Rogers stated that we are not merely fighting this war for free- dom and liberty from the tyrants and dictators but also freedom and liberty for the individual. He mentioned the new levelling off process between social classes int England and now England was putting "children first." He suggested to the Lions Club that they put their club empha- sis this year on Boys' and Girls' Work, not to make handouts to less fortunates but rather to lead and instruct and teach these less fortunates to become more cour-J ageous and confident. Also toV emphasize community affairs and post-war planning, to show fbl- lowship through service withl noa axe to grind and to lay the found- ation now for value later. The program was in charge ofs Lion Jack Brough and his Boys'a and Girls' Committee and theyV had as their guests the local com- mittee.of the Boy Scout Advisoryf Council. Other guests were Dr.c Kivell of Toronto, Geo. W. JamesF of The Statesman, and Mr. Robin-E son and Mr. Jackson of the Public1 School Staff. r Lion J. J.

Makes His Get Away Local Internment Camp Wolfgang Heyda, escaped Hun submarine captain, is being hunt. , ed by soldiers, police, and two crack police dogs. He made his getaway from the Internment - Camp, Bowmanville, on Friday night but it was not discovered until midnight Saturday. His 26- hour start may find him far away or he stil may be hiding.in the district. Discarded German prisoner clothes have been found in a shack near the Welland canal but it has not been established that they belonged to Heyda. He is described as 144 pounds in weight, age 30, and 5 feet, 8 inches in height, fair complexion, light brown hair brushed back, brown eyes, long hooked nose, small thin lips, small chin, small ears, long head, and a mole on the right side of his neck.

It is reported the escaped of- ficer was captured Tuesday in Eastern Canada, bound for Hali- fax. Rally Day Service At Trinity United Church A stimulating Rally Day ser- vice took place Sunday morning in Trinity United Church where nearly 300 pupils participated. The service was in charge of Rev. J. E. Griffith and Mr. W. R. Strike, Superintendent. The children marched from the Sunday School room into the aud- itorium of the church. Russell Alldread gave a reading based on the story of the Good Samaritan, told in the language of today. A young girl's earnest wish was ex- pressed in a poem by Audrey Venton.

Soldier Hitch-Hiked Cairo To America Ail In One Week "Hitch-Hiking" bas become an important mode of transportation with the present generation, but we think the following incident taken from a letter from Nursing Sister M a ry Young, Christie Street Hospital, ta er brother, George~ Young, Bwmanville, sets a record. We quote from Sister Young's letter: "We have a lad here who "hitch-hiked" from Africa. Hel lost a leg in North Africa and was convalescent, was anxious to get home, thought the hospital ship would be slow so asked his f- ficer ýfor permiýsion ta "hitch- hike." The Officer thinking he must be a little "off" gave the permission to humor him-so off he started. Got to Cairo, from there to Dakar by bomber, from Dakar to Brazil by Liberator plane, from there up here in a commercial plane-all in a week. He is just twenty and he must be the first person ta have hitch- hiked from Egypt to America." Busiest Man In Town One of the busiest men in town is Billy Ellis, with his many diversified interests and duties. Some months ago he took oveî the responsible office of janitoî of the Bank f eMontreal, succeed ing Neil Taylor who resigned after many years' faîthfulrservice. Then for two years Bill has been caretaker of the lawn bowling green in which he has taken a personal pride in having the greens in excellent shape. For real exercise he has the largest paper route for the Toronto Star, which takes him to many parts of the town. If that isn't enough to keep one man busy he also strolls backedaily to George Alchin's chieken ranch an the Manvers Road and feeds his flock of pro- lific layers. To make sure that Canada doesn't°faîl down on her quota of pork to Great Britain, Biln acquired a young pig thîs spring that didn't scem ta get along too well with the rest of the litter, but with the special care he's giving it he says it's destined ta outdo aIl the others. In gaing about these multifarious duties Bill is always accompanied by his faithful collie which is as round as a barrel but keeps toddling along as a rear guard to his busy master. Capt. A. Brown Describes Work 0f Salvation Army ried on by The Salvation Army for civilians and those in the armed forces was impressively told by Capt. Arnold Brown at the Rotary Club luncheon at the Balmoral Hotel, Friday. On this occasion about twenty canvassers, mostly women, were guests of the club in order that they might learn first hand the humanitarian work being carried on by this world-wide organization. Capt. Brown is no stranger to Bow- manville, having been stationed here seven years ago. He is now located at Headquarters in To- ronto and is associate Editor of The War tCy., S that our read- ci-s may be better informed as ta how the human touch of the Sal- vation Army reaches out in so many ways we briefly report some of the more important things referred to by Capt. Brown. The Salvation Army was born to meet a human emergency in the slums of East London in the latter half of thé 19th century, and has spread to 97 countries. It was natural that it would be called into this great world war, and would render true Christian service to men, women and child- ren on the fighting fronts and at home, just as it did in the first World War. * * * League of Mercy The League of Mercy is a group of voluntary Salvationist men and women workers, who regularly visit hospitals, sanitoriums and H prisons, distributing helpful liter- ature, speaking with patients, writing letters, visiting the homes of relatives, acting for anxious relatives living at a distance. It is operatingvin forty cities. Bright meetings are held, Christmas con- certs arranged, tokens of good- will, such as fruit and chocolates presented. During the war, 218,- 087 periodicals were distributed; 220,371 persons and 6,716 private homes were visited; 2,242 gather- ings for spiritual comfort and guidance were held; hundreds of Persons received help; hundreds of letters were written. Personal Service While making every possible effort to meet surface needs, The Salvation Army seeks to help sus- tain and improve spiritual morale. It bas helped thousands of men to solve their personal and home problem. Children's Homes, Girls' Receiving Homes, Mater- nity Homes, General Hospitals, Eventide H o m es and Sunset Lodges, Hostels and Industrial Departments, in a chain of social services across the Dominion, serve the needs of people with problems of one kind or another. * * *oraoe. Emergency Homes For Women Of our fifteen hospitals in Can- ada, three are general hospitals and training schools, eleven are maternity women's hospitals1 which provide a shorter course in obstetrics and gynecology. Dur- ing the past year 21,520 patients were admitted. There were 11,. (Continued on page 6) INTERNED IN GERMANY Gnr. Jack Rice As announced in The States- man of Sept. 16th, Sergt. Gnr. Charles Lewis (Jack) Rice of Bowmanville, previously report- ed missing, is naw known ta be a prisanero f war. His mother, Mrs. C. F. Rice, has learned from Ottawathatehe was interned in Germany after a bombing expe- dition in which his plane was shot down over Arras, France. He joined the R.C.A.F. in March, 1941, then took his wireless course at Winnipeg and other Canadian stations. Lack Of Help Drives Many Farmers To Sell Out By -Auction Giving up farming is again in evidence. Last week's issue of The Statesman contained a full column of announcements and perusal of many Ontario weeklies displays the same trend. Some indeed list a half page or more. In conversation with Elmer Wil- bur, aggressive and successful auctioneer of Hampton, we learn that a general lack of help which has caused a breakdown, due to overwork, is the main cause of giving up the unequal struggle. Sales are well attended and prices firm. Those who carry on and cannot get new implements, snap up what they can get at auc- tian sales. The main demands are for manure spreaders and hay loaders, both labor savers, and little is left at the end of the bidding. It is expected that bid- dig on seed grain or grain of any id will clear out all supplies tis fai. One improvement on listings to the great advantage of sellers would be to state in detail in the local paper the things to be sold. That would attract buyers wha want some specific thing. Other- wise they might not attend. The trend steadily is to throw more land out of production. "Speed The Victory" Slogan For New Loan The period, October 18th to No- vember 6th, will be an important one in the prosecution of the war effort. During these weeks Can- adians will again have the oppor- tunity of showing their will to win by subscribing for Canada's Fifth Victory Loan. As announced from Ottawa, the amount of the Fifth Victory Loan is $1,200,000,00, which is an in- crease of $100,000,000 over the ob- jective set for the Fourth Victory Loan. However, the objective mentioned above is only a mini- mum objective, and, unless it is substantially oversubs c r i b e d, Canadians cannot feel that they have done their maximum share. The slogan for Canada's Fifth Victory Loan "Speed the Victory" and the insignia will be in the form of a "Winged V". The "V" naturally standing for both Vic- tory and for Fifth. The objective f o r Durham County has not, as yet, been established, and, while it is pos- sible that it may not be increased from the figure of $1,400,000, which was set in the Fourth Loan, it is a certainty that it will be no lower than that figure. The NationalDWar Finance Committee for Durham County has been at work the last two weeks going over their organiza- tion and strengthening the weak- vesses that have been apparent in previous Campaigns. C.G.I.T. NEWS The opening meeting of Trinity C.G.I.T. was held on Tuesdayeve- ning. Two groups were formed, the junior grBup, "Lend-a-Hand," in charge of Miss Vivian Bunner and Miss Helen Nelles, and the senior group, "Onwego," with Miss Helen Pritchard as leader.

Group meetings were eld and election of officers took place. In the Onwego these officers were elected: Pres. -Margaret Stacey; Vice Pres. - Marjorie Rundle; Sec.-Connie Wonnacott;1 Ass't Sec. - Dorothy Brooks;1 Treas.-Dorothy Morris. s Officers for the Lend-a-Hand group are: Pres.-Ruth Hooper;1 Vice Pres.-Marlee Gibbs; Sec.- Shirley Moore; Ass't Sec.-Doro-z thy Wonnacott; Treas.-Beverlyz Sudds; Pianist-Joan Woolley. 1 SCOUT NEWS The 2nd Troop Bowmanville Scouts met Thursday at the Pub- lic School Gym. A new compe- tition was started between the patrols to see which one could secure the most points. Stewart Ferguson, who recently joined the Scouts, donated the re- ward he received for finding a purse to the "Chins Up Fund" for the Scouts in England. ,.,y Guarantee Trust Company of New York City, anc of the largest banking institutions in America, on completion of 25 years' service. Herschel is a son of the late Dave Darch, for many years bar- ness maker with Mason & Dale, and a sister, Bertha, and a brother A. L. "Ab" still reside in Bow- manville. On Sept. 16, wben Herschel ar- rived at bis desk he found a bank of flowers and a delegation from the 25 year Century Club who presented him with a gold pin and a personal letter from the Presi- dent, Eugene W. Stetson. The president expressed the apprecia- tion of the Company and personal felicitations on having "attained such a mark of distinction." Then came a delegation from the Personal Trust Dept., with a present of over $50.00 worth of opera records, in appreciation of Herschel's great interest in music. He was next tendered recogni- tion at the Officer's Club with the President and all senior of- ficials. Following that the em- ployees, numbering over 3,000, came to offer congratulations, and as he writes, needless to say I didn't get much work done that day." His quarter century now en- titles him to a full month's holi- day each year and he looks for- ward to spending it in his native town at Bowmanville Beach. His certificate is to be present- ed to him later at a banquet at the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel. His host of friends in Bowmanville join with his Company in extend- ng their appreciation too. Canvassers for the Salvation Army Home Front Appeal are busy this week making a house- to-house drive. This is a worthy cause and Bowmanville should surpass its objective of $1100. Edward ..

Miss Werry gave an interesting res1ime of the address on "Mis- sions in a Warring World," which was presented by Rev. Kenneth J. Beaton at the Sehool. The subject was divided three-fold: motive, measure and meaning. The first of these was again subdivided in- ta self, fear and sympathy. Self, said the speaker, tends to show the selfish attitudes of people and their desire for money; fear, exîsts in that if we do not Christianize other countries, tey wilI paganize us; and finally, sympathy is stirred by what we hea, but there must be same- thing deeper ta be of value. The purpose of missions is to win the world by love, and Christ is a dynamic force encouraging us to do what is right. The story of love must be told and retold every day for there is a great need for a larger conception of human life. In ordinary times, human life is cheap, but God's purpose is to succeed when love and peace reign throughout the world. Miss Marion Warder assisted Miss Werry in presenting the topic by reading a short story re- lating one of the fascinating ex- periences of Dr. Bob McClure in China. The program was conducted by the conveneib 'of Christian Mis- sions, Evelyn Pickard. Two musi- cal numbers, a piano duet by1 Colette Ferguson and LaurietHart and a piano solo by Glen Hodg- son concluded the program. The service of worship on the themec "Missions in a World at War," was in charge of the convener, assisted by Ada Clarke.c Doris Dudley presided for the business period and conducted thet closing recreation. - l a c c d d 1 a, si 1 The tnany social services car- 1 ajority for Gibbs
