Mason & Son Phone 681 King st. Bowmanville The Canadian Way of, Life Opinion of F. H. Marsh, President of The Bank of Toronto Mr. F. H. Marsb, President of The Bank of Toronto, in bis an- nuai report, said: "The people of Canada are possessed of the ability to thinE clearly wben aroused to the point of being concerned about any sub- ject. There is tben ittie to fear in conternpiating our national f u- ture if people stop to consider what a socialistic forrn 0f Gov- ernment would mean. The corn- mon sense of most Canadians, in- cluding labor, wbo would not be immune but wouid also bave tc conform to sucb a system and its regimentation, will, I arn confi- dent, remain proof against any such plans as would overturr Canada's entire system of indi- vidual freedom in growing, pro- ducing, manufacturing, market- ing. export, import, wholesalc and retail trading, banking, invest. ment and ownership. "Totalitarian Governrnent and regirnentation is wbat our sons are fighting against wbile the advo- cates of socialism are trying to bave that very form of Govern- ment placed in control of Canada, "There are rnany hundreds of tbousands of Canadians who own their farms or homes; there are the owners of 5,000,000 bank ac- counts and scme .4,000,000 people who own life insurance policies, aIl of whorn are in reality capital- ists. "Sucb owncrsbip is the resuit of years of toil and thrift in a free country. It represents the stake that men hope to hand down to their widows and children, whose safe future is their keencst human desire. In the rural parts of Can- ada especiaiiy, I believe, this beri- tage of home and ownership and freedom and the rigbt to pass it on will be beld with determina- tion and tenacity, and will neyer be surrendered in favor of any socialistic, ccntralizcd state con- trol of property and civil rigbts. "It is reasonable to suppose, in contemplating the future, that these millions of people wiii not be dormant where their own in- terests are affected, and when tbey realize what socialism means in the way of totalitarian power?" SmalI Businesses Must Be Preserved Mr. Marsh, in bis report, em- pbasized the important contribu- tion srnail industries would make in the post-war period. He point- ed out the importance of the smaller businesses in relation to the life of tbe towns and villages tbroughout Canada. He said: "It is generaiiy known that post-war planning of a construc- tive nature is under way on the part of governrnents and large scale enterprises, but there is sorne question as to whetber the rnediurn-sized and srnaller con- cerns are able to do rnucb in this direction under tbe present tax structure. .Many of fhern started with little after the last war, and in the relatively prosperous twenties buiit up adequate work- ing capital, wbich was seiously depleted by losses fit the depres- sion of the early thirties. Durîng the 1936-39 period, profits were comparativeiy small. The bas- ing of standard profits on the average of these years bas ne- suited in rnany instances in littie being left to build up the cash reserves necessary to effeef the change from wartime to peace- tirne conditions, thus making it essential that defînite assurance by way of tax adjustments or other remedial measures be pro- vided. I believe that an early announcement of governrnental policy in this respect would be most helpf ul. "Clearly the job of industrial conversion cannot effectively be * GIkýOJER flAtYE C.W.A.C.

"These smaller manufacturers and traders, scattered throughout the iength and breadth of the country, furnish an important backbone of employment. A re- cent study of industry made under government direction shows that as of the year 1941, there were 170,903 establishments in the manufacturing, wholesale and re- tail fields, and that no less than 161,904 or 94 per cent of these were small businesses, employing less than 15 persons each, the total number employed by thema being 529,626 persons. They are not only important in the aggre- gate, but are essential in the if e of the towns and villages through- out Canada." Ontario Weekly News iBrie f Premier George Drew bas an- nounced that the 1944 session af the Ontario Legisiature will open on February 22. The announce- ment was rnade by the premier foilowing a confenence witb His Honor, Lieutenant-Governor Al- bert Mattbews. The Ontario Government bas issued a timely warning ta muni- cipal counicils ta practîse nigid ecanorny in preparing yearly ex- penditures if they expect to bene- fit fully by the 50% reduction of educatianal taxation on real es- tate in this province. Murder, iquor bi-jacking and crimes of passion bave clirnaxed a crime wave across Ontario dur- ing the past tbree rnonths. In the Toronto Don Jail no less than five persons await trial for murder while a dozen others are being beld on charges of anmed rob- bery, rape and wounding. This is a record number for one time for thîs institution. Owing to unavoidable delays in secuning supplies, the 1944 motor vehicle permits and driver licenses will nat be available until Jan. 24, Higbway Minister George Doucett bas announced. In the meantime the terma of 1943 per- mits and licenses bas been ex- tended ta that date. ýq * * * Agrîcultural arganiza t i o n s througbout the province lauded hast week the announcement frorn the Ontario Games and Fishenies Department that sbotgun sheli production would be increased threc fold.

FOLEY 123 Lake St., St. Catharines ANNIE LAURIE Maxwelton's braes are bonnie, Where early fa's the dew, And 'twas there that Annie Laurie Gave me ber promise true. Gave me ber promise true. Which ne'er forgot wiil be And for bannie Annie Laurie I'd iay me doon and dee. Her brow is like the snaw drift, He throat is like the swan, Her face it is the fairest' That e'er the sun shone on. That e'er the sun shone on, And dark blue is ber e'e And for bonnie Annie Laurie I'd lay me doon and dee. Like dew on th' gowan lying Is the fa' o' ber fairy feet, And like winds in summer sigh- îng, Her voice is low and sweet. Her voice is low and sweet, And she's a' the worid to me, And for bonnie Annie Laurie I'd lay me doon and dee. One of the best loved sangs in our secular song books is our sub- ject this week. It was written aimost two hundred years ago. The uines and melody are both s0 beautiful it is not surprising it bas been a favorite for two centuries. Annie Laurie, the heroine, was born on December 1682, one of four daughters of Sir Robert Laurie, the first baronet of Max- weiton. Her ardent lover of the song was reported killed in battie in Flanders. In 1709, Annie mar- ried, Alexander Ferguson and their son, Alexander, was the hero of Bobbie Burns' song, "The Whistle." The air, as now sung, was com- posed by Lady John Scott. It became a great favorite witb the British soldiers in the weary en- campments in the Crimean war, 1854-55. Bayard Taylor entwines it into bis beautiful poemn of The Crimea, "The Song of The Camp," as seen in this verse: "They sang of love and not of f are, Forgot was Britain's giory, Each heart recalied a different narne But aIl sang 'Annie Laurie.'" Wedding DEPEW-EDGER Trinity United Church Parson- age, Bowmanville, was the scene of a pretty wedding on December 28, 1943, when Rev. J. E. Griffith united in marriage Betty Eileen, younger daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. A. Edger and Thomas Wallace, son of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Depew, Bowmanville. 'The bride looked cbarming in a two-jiiece heaven blue crepe en- semble, matching Dutch hat with, shoulder-length veil and brown 5accessories. Her corsage was of »Better Time roses and Friesia. She 1was attended by her sister, Mrs. John M. James, as matron of honor. Her two-piece ensemble was of gold crepe, witb which she wore a matching Dutch hat and brown accessories, and corsage of shaded bronze mums. Mr. Harry Depew was best man for his brother. The reception was held at the home of the bride's parents, Well- ington St. Mrs. Edger receiveI in a black crepe frock with tur- quoise yoke and black sequin trim, black accessories, Mrs. Depew, the groom's mother, wore a powder blue crepe dress with black accessories and corsage of pink carnations and Friesia. Following the reception the bride and groom left on a short wedding trip. They will reside in Bowmanville. The groom is a member of the Hersey Hockey Club. Prevîous to her marriage the bride was entertained at a kitchen shower given at the home of Mrs. Chas. Depew, with Misses Helen Norwick and Celia Tait as hos- tesses, and a bathroomn shower given by Mrs. Robert Kent and Miss Dorothy Harnden. Sailors Express Thanks for Ditty Bags No finer service can be con- ceived than that of the Navy League in preparing and sending "ditty bags" to the sailors of Can-g ada's Navy. Letters have poured back to the members of the local branch of the League from men on patrol on the coid North At- lantic, who have found on arrivai in port a present of a ditty bag. Space does not permit publication of these letters but the concensus is: "Simply sweli; everything fits fine and ahl are supremely useful. We cannot get ariy of these things by simply shopping around. They come like the finest of Christmas gifts to those of us who cannot get home to celebrate. When sailors get ditty bags they act simply9 like a bunch of public school kids. Truiy there is nothing like it or to equal it in our wbole if e in the Navy." These expressions come from men whose homes are ahl across Canada and who seldom if ever have seen Bowmanville or even heard of it. AlI of which goes to C show what an important part the 1 Navy League is playing in this C war for our sailors. In the matter of morale alone their work is of an importance that cannot be guaged. The comforts of ditty bags, likewise cannot be fully ap- preciated by anyone save those who have to face the terribleC rigors of winter weather on the1 seas. Those who prepare theseC ditty bags and those who 'support the Navy League are performing a vital service and continued sup- port is solicited that this great service be continued.1 However iearned or eloquent, c man knows notbing truly that he bas flot iearned from experience. -Wieland.

The Statesman: Pîcase find encloscd Two Dol- lars for your paper for this year. I can commend you on the dlean character of your paper, its re- ports and your sponsoring of farmn forums from wbich far rcaching benefits must corne. You also give excellent reports of speeches of various groups, some of wbicb do not have a good reception. I think you unfair to aur Dominion Premier. He bas tremendous responsibilities these wartorn days and bas little time for pctty politics. You do, per- baps justly, exait anather wbo bas made quite a name for himself in the politîcal field with the so-caîl- cd Progressive Conservatives. This man practically foot loose, not yet a Dominion member, and bas tirne on bis hands to tour the country making speeches. The planks in bis piatform seemn to be made of the same wood as the old Liberal policy and sorne perhaps with more knots. How can the old time Conservatives follow bis leadership? Yours respectfuily, R. A. WRIGHT. The problemn aftcr the war is not so rnuch demobilization of our forces as rernobilization of our motives.

As the shelves of Canadian sbops are be- corning depleted due to scarcity of certain articles of food and to the requirements of the rnilitary forces, eacb household must be governed more and more econ- omically, with the focal point on sufficient nourishing food for the family. It must become apparent to every loyal homemaker that the conservation of vitamin content in foods at our disposai is most im- portant. Cooking, therefore, in these wartime days needs to be accomplished by proper planning and study of those metbods wbich preserve that nutritive quaity- guesswork today is "out" and every bomemaker should realize it. It may cali for a discipline in regard to food and its preparation neyer before employed in a large number of. bouseholds, but a fam- ily to be cared for is the home- maker's responsibility and not rnany will shirk it in this present time of need.

Long cooking at high tcm- perature not anly bas a destruc- tive action on thiarnin, but it dries out meat, fisb and poultry, and toughcns, rather than tenderizes. Learn to use iow temperatures for roasting (325 dcgrees F. to 350.) and, roast uncovered. Use short cooking methods whcn feasible- that is, for ail tender cuts. Be sure, bowever, to cook ail forms of fresh pork vcry tborougbiy to avoid danger whicb cornes fromn eating underdone pork. It is bet- ter to accept some destruction- of vitarnin B-h (of wbich pork is a ricb source) than to risk infec- tion. To avoid vitarnin lasses, avoid ieftovers of cooked rneats sa far as is practical. Serve lef t- aven roasts siiced cold whcn pas- sible, rather than warrned aver. Reheating causes incrcased vita- min loss. Basic Recipe for Pot Roast A deliclous roast may be pre- parcd in this way from the less expensive cuts of beef. Cuts of cbuck, rurnp, round, shoulder, short ribs, brisket, plate or flank, may be uscd for pot roast. It may be cooked with the bones in, or tbcy may bc removed and the meat rolled and tied or skewered securely.

Drcdge the meat with fiaur and brown weli on all sides. Season witb sait and pepper, add bot water, cover, and let simmer until tender. Add more water as it cooks away. Turn occasionally; simmer 3-4 hours or until tender. Remove ta a bot piatter and thick- en the gravy witb 2 tbsp. flour blended in the fat rernaining in the pan. Gradually stir in 2 cups coid water, and continue stirring until thick and smooth. Season witb sait and pepper to taste. Thrifty Changes One onion finely chopped or slic- cd may be added while brown- ing meat. Try one or two garlic cioves finely cboppcd. One tablespoon vinegar added ta the watcr heips ta season and make the meat marc tender. One-haîf cup grated horse-radisb rnay be added ta gravy. One bay leaf (broken) and a few BOWMANVI LLE p. chili tepines may be added. One tabiespoon o! any meat sauce such as Worcestershirc, adds to the flavor. Adding 3/ tsp. of any favorite herb (thyrne, rosemary, ce.) wiil give the roast a deliciaus savory flavor. One teaspoon caraway seed or celery seed is a favorite sea- soning. Tornato juice rnay be added in- stead of water. Add plenty of bot tomato juice or stewed tornatoes the last hal- bour. Season with garlic and add 1 cup spaghetti, rice or macaroni, and cook until ten- der. Wboie vegetables (wasbed and peeled onions, potatoes, carrots, turnips, etc.) rnay be placed around the meat the last bour. Tbey make a delicious dinner ail cooked in one pot. Try cooking a few parsnips around the roast, arranglng tbern on the platter and sprink- ling witb a little nutmeg and a few drops of lemon. Soak a few dried rnusbroorns for one bour, and add tbem with the juice to roast the last 20 minutes. Chopped celery tops and parsley are another adventure in fia- voning. 4 'I The Arcade Il I I o i i o VI M r i g I I o i i Ji Wilil Open for Business on THDRS.J JANUARY 20 FIn Its New Premises Formerly Occupied Dy RICIE & CO.
