ONTARIO THURSDAY, JAN. 4th, 194~5 DON GILHOOLEY INJURED IN HOCKEY GAME Following his sensational play at Kingston which was featured in Toronta dailies, Don Gilhooley returned ta Oshawa Wednesday evening for the first home game of the season of the O.H.A. Junior "B" Oshawa teamn on their own ice. They met the flashy St. Michaels of Toronto and taok the short end of an 8-3 score in the contest billed as an exhibition game. In losing, Oshawa also lost the services of Gilhooley wlo was înjured i the play. Coming fram behind ta even up a four-goal lead of the collegians, Gillaoley started a play that re- sulted in a score for Oshawa but was smashed in the face by an appanent and hurled. ta the ice and was removed e Oshawa Gen- eral Haspital witf what was fear- ed ta ecoinçLl4,ion of the brain. St. Jikes were evidently out ta 7mi and thus removed the star threat ta their goal margin. fGil remained in the hospital for observation and X-ray pic- tures until the following day when le returned ta lis home in Bowmanville. The doctors found no fracture but there was evi- dence of a blood dlot in lis head due ta his injury. It is likely he wfll rejoin the team when per- mitted ta do sa by the club phy- sician.

BASEBALL GAME PLAYED IN NEWCASTLE S]IXTY YEARS AGO At the Rotary Club luncheon Friday, the following score sheet was tead covering a basebal game played 60 years ago at New- castle. The teams were the New- castle Beavers and Bowmanville Clippers. This record has been preserved by Postmaster Carl Kent who played with Newcastle. Mr. Kent thinks from the neat penmanship and ink script the repart was written by Charlie Wilmot which reads as follows: "Amateur game that was play- ed in this neighborlood should nat have lad sudh an ending. The wlole trouble lay in the fact tlat the umpire was tatally ignorant of the rules of basebaîl. He gave the decîsions impartially but on two or tlree occasions in distinct contradiction of the rules of the game.

Thanks ta, George H. Wilson, the venerable edîtor of the Lindsay Daily Post we have received the manuscript of a sermon delivered by Rev. T. E. Holling, D.D., a former president of the Bay of Quinte Conference, now living retired at Victoria, B.C. He spoke on "The Romance of Apples" and sought ta show through biblical referendes, the science of pom- alogy and the commerce thereto pertaining, the lessons to lie de- rîved touching 'Christian living, good health and national unity. Since Durham County is famed for its apples, we quote passages from the sermon but regret that space permits but a mere sum- mary. Referring to biblical references the speaker told of Eve tempting Adam with an apple, but an un- lettered fruit grower when view- ing a painting observed that Eve was holding a pippin of a variety unknown until a few years ago. Another was the. word of a wise man of scripture: "A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in pictures of silver." Again, Jehava kept Israel as the apple of his eye, and ail are familiar wîth the anatomical term, Adam's apple. Mythology also found the apple useful. For example, the three golden apples in the garden of Hesperides; also the apples of Iduma the Norse, goddess of Youth and Spring which the gods ate ta preserve eternal youth, and the princess Atlanta who lost the race ta the prince who threw three golden apples in her path that she paused to pick up. There was the romance, too, of William Tell gaining Swiss freedom by shooting with an arrow an apple on his son's head. Science benefited as well when Newton watching an apple fal discovered the law of gravitation. People seeking a name for the po- tata called it "the apple of the, earth." The apple is a universal fruit limited only by climate. It rebukes al aur sectionalism and isolationism and like theology ignores ail distinctions of race and creed and calîs for universal ca- operation. It is also democratic and like the fruits of Christian claracter can lie produced and en- joyed under any condition. It is also a striking illustration of the importance of cultivatian and varieties co-exist with closest unity. With 275 varieties of re- ligion, but fundamentally they are one, and likewise hundreds of varieties of apples find their unity in great diversîty. Almost every letter in the al- phabet designates apples: Astra- clan, Alexander, Baldwin, Blen- heim, Ben Davis, Cortland, Crab, Cox Orange, Deliciaus, Dutchess, Fameuse, Greening, Gravenstein, Hume, Jonathan, Jubilee, Joyce, King, Kendall, Loba, Lemon Pip- pin, McIntosh, Melba, Newton, Pippin, Queen, Quince, Ribston, Russett, Sandow, Secor, Spitz- enburg, Northern Spy, Snow, Stayman, Stark, Tolman Sweet, Transparent, Vandevere, Wealthy, Winesap, Wolf River, Wagner, York Imperial. Apples for every month of the year which, like Christian graces are always in season. For health "an apple a day keeps the doctor away" the enerny of jaundice, indigestion, torpidity, a gentIe spur and tonic, highly nutritiaus as stude nt s know self-supporting tlemselves through college and workmen and otlers who find the baked apple a substitute for meat. The king of fruits it pleases every sense of sight, touch, taste and smell. Butj like religion the apple has its enemies, which man must combat by spraying pruning, sorting, tending, graftýing. And the graft- ing of new life to old stocks makes the future of the church as it Eloes that of the orchard. In the colarful shades af the apple we are reminded that Christian character must also ble colorful. The Clristianity of Jesus gives color ta life; without it existence is reduced ta a dul lrab gray. Emerson referred ta the apple as a social fruit, the third factor present in friendly intercourse. And this is true al across Canada. The orchard bears more than the one fruit. There are the fruits of friendship, fellowship, memories dating back o childlood. Sa with true re- igion making us mnembers of the MRS.

WARNING TO PROPERTY OWNERS BY TOWN COUNCIL The Corporation of the Town of Bowmanville, by virtue 0f the decision of its elected represent- atives in Council, is now formally on record that sidewalks shahli e kept clear 0f snow. A notice ta this effect was publisled in the local pre§p of Dec. 21, under authority of Council. Property owners wlo fail ta keep walks clear 0f snow opposite their premises will lave ta pay for its removal by municipal labar witl the costs clarged ta tax bills. This will meet with approval aI the great majority of citizens. It conforms with the principle of equality of service and sacrifice that we lear so much about tlese days. Now it remains ta lie seen whether the order will lie re- spected or enfarced. Corporations and absentee land- lords lave been among the chief offenders in this regard. On King St. E., leading ta the Ceme- tery this is quite in qvidence. One. resident awner consistently clears a large frontage and pays hired labor in doing so, while long stretches eacl side remain block- ed, forcing people of ahl ages ta take ta the higlway. It is this sort 0f inequality that Council evidently seeks ta correct. One clears and pays while otlers do neitler. The whale thing ne- flects the degree 0f respansibility af citizenship. Just low Council proposes enforcement is yet ta le learned. Will Roads and Streets, Public Property, or Police Cam- mittees lie clarged with enfarce- ment or will a street inspector be appointed as in the case of weed contraI? To those wlo may seek ta ad- vance the plea af labor slortage it can lie pointed out tlat school boys helped clear the recent leavy snow. There is little doulit many of these boys would wel- came after-lour work clearing sidewalks and the tling can lie done witl proper organization. The boys can lie paid and the amounts charged on tax bills. Any ekecutive arder not enforced becames a mere platitude. The generai public will expect Coun- cil ta put into effect at once the terms of this welcome proclama- tion. And the press will as usual give complete support ta its de, cision. Mareover, any laxity in enforcement will receive equal prominence in these columns. The plan is a test of respansible citizenship as well as Council's letermination ta enforce the order. ESTIMATED SHORTAGE ALFALFA SEED It is estimated tlat in Eastyn Canada there is not enugh alfa fa seed ta provide the normal plant- ing requirements needed ta main- tain maximum production of meats, daîry and poultry praducts, the Agricultural Supplies Board states. Western Canada las surplus alfalfa seed, but as its normal market is in the U.S.A. the seed is purchased from grawers at a price whicl does not permit pay- ment af the încreased freigît on shipments ta Eastern Canada and distribution there within the -re- tail ceiling price 0f $37 per 100 lbs., said the Board. In arder ta provide for alfalfa seed requirements of Eastern con- sumers on a basis that is equit- able ta Western producers, the Board las undertaken ta rebate ta the buyer the canlot freight rate from Winnipeg ta Eastern destination on shipments of alf- alfa seed which lave been ap- proved by the Seeds Administrat- or prior ta shipment. The approval of the Seeds Ad- ministratar, Ottawa, must le oh- tained before shipment is made. DON'T DELAY ORDERS FOR FERTILIZERS Because the situation with re- spect ta supplies of fertilizers is somewhat easier now than it was a year ago, does not lessen the need on the part of farmers ta place their orders for fertilizers at once and for taking delivery of tlem, says the Fertilizer Admin- istrator, Agricultural Suppli e s Board. As a matter of fact, there is a greater urgency on the part af farmers for avoiding delay in placing their arders and accepting delivery when deliveries can be made, because the labor short- age and transportation difficul- ties are even more acute than last year, he said. War demands for supplies for, the fighting forces are taking every surplus freight car that is available. To be assured of having fer- tilizers for use next spring, now is the time for f armers to place their orders while the subventions on freight payable by the Domin- ion Government are stili in effect.
