Reports: Councillor Nicholas presented current bills of $2839.18 which were ordered paid. Com- mittee arrangements were com- pieted in connection with the H.M.C.S. Bowmanvile Carnival. The matter of Taxi license again came up for discussion. At the last meeting it was agreed to get in touch with W. F. Rickard, M.P., to see what he might do in the matter. It was disclosed that he had been contacted but the impression was that he would not interest himself in the matter. The final outcome was decision to review the present by-law and have the town solicitor prepare an amendment which might deal with all vehicles of commercial character and make a record of bicycle as weil. A , sution was passed in con- nection ith calls made for ser- vices of the Fire Dept. outside the town limits. Formal notice of this is contained in an advertise- ment in this issue which explains1 the future procedure. Also a formal notice is to be sent the township clerk. Chairman Little1 got authorization to purchase chains for the fire truck to cost $17. There was some discussion about the Rotary Club providing racks for bicycles, the details yet to be worked out. There was some cross-fire in connection with recent changes in - the Fire Dept. The Mayor pro- - duced the resignation o pHowad s Challis as fineman and caretaker - of the truck, dated July 5, in al whidh he claimed lack of co-oper- r ation of the Chief and Chairman. f After the heat subsided it was e resolved that all changes in the a Dept. save purely internal pro- r motions, should be made formally o to Council and be approved by k Council. At present the Dept. is e one man short of full comple- f ment. The resignation was ac- cepted on motion of Reeve Little - and Councillor Nicholas. t Scout Leader Sturrock's sug- - gestion to take over the town shed r as a hockey rink for the Scouts r was tabled until something more s definite was put forward. No . progress was reported in getting t a room for the Public Health - Nurse but discussions had been held with the Board of Education. The Police Committee was in- y structed to see that bushes and hedges overhanging public side- walks be cut. Chairman of Roads and Streets Garton asked and re- ceived permission to buy stone, asphalt and materials to the ex- tent of $231.50. He received gen- eral commendation for the fine job done recently on streets. Winners Announced ln Field Crop Competition for, 1944 Secretary J. C.

The tern was applied in respect of th hopes of both Liberal and CC] parties. Both were fighting t the last ditch.

Latest returns are that th( Liberals have been routed m Quebec and the CCF have beer swamped in both provinces. Th Union Nationaile, headed by for mer Premier Maurice Duplessis leading anti-British followerç against Premier Adelard God bout, also leading anti-British candidates, captured 45 seats t Liberal Godbout's 37 with th issue still undecided. The out- come appears to be a stalemate but the Liberal machine seems definitely smashed. In Alberta the Social Credit Party was returred with an over- whelming majority, with probab- ly 50 seats out of 57. The high- light of both contests was that the CCF, militantly contesting in both provinces, elected only -one in Qu'ebec and have a chance for 2 in Alberta. In other words, out of 148 seats the CCF have one elected. Final returns will be available before The Statesman goes to press next week.

BAPTISM IN OFFICERS' MESS Fine Work of Lions Clu A unique event took place on Wednesday, July 19th, when Eric Hulatt, mnfant son of Flying Of- ficer Keith Reginald Draycott and in C m u iEE el ai Patricia Jon D)nrf - The good work being carried on by the Lions Club of Bowman- ville in the sphere of charitable undertakings and community bet- terment generally, cannot be too highly praised. The membership of the Club is made up largely of the younger business and pro- fessional men of the town and they bring to their endeavors a youthful and aggressive spirit which is reflected in the infre- quent reports of their activities. In last week's issue of The Statesman appeared the story of the Club's purchase of the Senk- er property on Beech Avenue to be used as a community centre after theiwar. The purchase pice ran into important figures, with repairs and renovations still to be undertaken. As evidence of further important contribu- tions by the members we have been privileged ta study their budget as represented in their Special Account for the year end- ing June, 1944. The items include $151.45 for the purchase of glasses for child- ren and others with defective vision and a contributionFto the Institute for the Blind. For the Boys' and Girls' Dept. the sum. of $159.44 was provided for the hockey team, for library books and school prizes. The amount of $18.00 went to the Hospital and $60.75 for the coal prize in the Health and Welfare Competition. Affiliation with the Safety League cost $28.75. For seeds and prizes in the Victory Garden con- tests went $153.18. War Services ncluding $150 for the Red Cross amounted to $1,119.33, largely made up of parcels and 60,000 cigarettes for troops overseas and support , for the Blood Donor Clmic. Including miscellaneous items, the overall total for the year was $2,721.15. This added to their re- cent property purchase would otal well over $6,000.00. , These figures attest the great value to oan.raycott, was bap- ized in the officers' mess of the Internment Camp attBowman- ville.

Roy Virtue of Ennskillen, Kilied In France The Statesman has been in- formed of the death in action, in France, of Roy Virtue, formerly of Enniskillen. He was son of the late Charles Virtue and Mrs. Virtue who farmed just north of Enniskillen and the gnandson of William Virtue of Tyrone. Subsequent news comes in a letter from Dvr. Alan Preston, son of Bob Preston, veteran of the last war, Who tells o! having vis- ited the grave af Roy Vintue ate- his death. In the same letter he tells of waiting at a cross-roads in France on the way to the front, and was surprised to pick up a copy o! The Statesman that was blown across his path. The Statesman expresses, in behalf of the community, most heartfeltsympathy to the sur- viving relatives o! L.-Cpl. Virtue.
