Bagneli, Statesman Office., (ADVERTISEMENT) To Our Many Friends In Bowmanville And District On Sunday, February 18th, Rev. Griffith of Trinity United Church made a statement in his sermon which is devoid of aIl truth.* I arn in no way coninected with the application to the Council from the Local Union for a liquor depot, and made no statements regarding the openirig of a beer parlor in this hotel. This sermon was not founded on facts, but rather made to sound sensational by jeopardizing our good name. We have endeavored, under adverse conditions, for the past ten years, to give this town a good hotel and feel that these statements are unwarranted. Mr. Griffith might well read: St. Matthew, ChaiAer 7. W. H. FLAHERTY, Mgr, The Balmoral Hotel (ADVERTISEMENT) Statement by Local 189 Re. Liquor Depot At a regular monthly meeting of Local Union No. 189 a resolution was passed with 98 per cent majority, to ask the Town Council, as the proper municipal authority, to get in- formation fromn the Control Board if it was permissabie to authorize a bonded carrier as agent for purchases at Govern- ment stores. It was distinctly stated it was for wartime only to save avoidabie time, money and war production presently exces- sive. There was no thought whatever of opening a liquor store or beverage roomn in Bowmanville. No citizen, iwerchant, nor the local hotel keeper, were at any time approached or consulted in the matter. These facts were made known to Rev, Griffith prior to his sermon, which was flot published in full. And the facts are presented for public information to make clear a matter which has aroused controversy following the sermon. The Union disclaims responsibility for any misrepresentations that have been made and any future action that may ensue. NORMAN ALLISON, President,U.R.W.A.

Piano solo was given by Miss J. Alichin. Constable R. Duncan Buried at Jordan Stn. The funeral of Constable Robert Walls Duncan of the Ontario Pro- vincial Police, Bowmanville, was held in the United church at Jor- dan Station, on Feb. 24. Rev. Dr.i J. Phillips Jones conducted the service and Mrs. Orval Honsberg- er sang the beautiful solo, ."No Night There". The high esteem in which the deceased was held was shown by the large attendance, which fiiled the church ta capacity and which included many friends from the Provincial Police Force, and by the profusion of floral tributes massed about the aitar. Interment was at Oaklawn cemetery, Jordan Station, with Rev. Dr. Jones in charge of the committal service. Members of the Provincial Police Force forrn- ed a guard of honor and the fol- lowing members acted as casket bearers: Constables Norman F.1 Fach, Frank H. Coney, W. J. Mc- Bride, Walter Smith, E. L.

"Poetry In Wood" Subject of Address At Durham County Club (Elsie R. Fair) A good attendance marked thE fourth meeting of the Durhar County Club of Toronto, Thurs- day evening, February 22nd, when President Dr. Geo. W. McGili we]- comed many new members. He expressed regret in the passing of Mr. Frank F. Morris of Bow- manville. Vice-President Orvil J. Hender- son, B.A., acting Chairman, wei- comed Capt. Don Linden, the music master, back from the hos- pital, to take charge of his part of the program, that was very acceptably carried oi.it by Mrs. E. Plewman of the Trinity United Church, soloist, accornpanied hi Mrs. J. Bouck. Mrs. Racheile Stephenson again charmed her audience witha number of violin selections, ac- companied by Mrs. Johnston. The chairman humorously ex- piained when introducing the speaker, Mr. Merrili H. Cook, Gentleman of Toronto, that oni3 after assurance the society toohi its name, and was intcrestcd in ils native CountS' of Durham, rather than an association for the pro. Motion of a famous breed of cattke of the short-hum variety, he con- sented to present his subi ect, "Poetry In Wood". Mr. Cook opened his subject by saying he wished to informaliy speak about poetry and driftwood, that contrary to general accept- ance work in together quite weill As for poetry, many do not read it, in fact some are opposed to it, rnuch in the same way as the pro- fessional opposition reiated of the late ex-president Calvin Coolidge who was noted for bis brevity of words. Returning from Churcb he was asked by his wife, "Wcere you at church,, Calvin?" "Yes." "Many out?" "Yes." 'Good ser- mon?" "Yes." "What was it about?" "Sin." "Weil, what did he say about it?" "He's against Others have said "Poetry is the utilization of language as the handmaid of music," where as science is concerned with truth. Poetry is concerned with beauty. Poetry must have beauty, if not it is only poetry in name. Neyer- theless poetry often expressed a truth more beautifully than prose, and is the highest form of human expression. For instance, prose says "The Old Sailor," while poetry says "The Ancient Marin- er". The speaker read several poems of his own composition as well as quoting Sir Chas. D. Roberts, who with. his art couid surcharge a place with a sense of beauty and sweet sadnessr Mr. Cook's application of poetry to driftwood was graphicaliy il- lustrated by a large number of interesting actual samples obtain- ed from bis summer home at Wasaga Beach, and -recorded by him in the lines of, "Art of the Sea". The social hour was under the leadership of Mr. and Mrs. A. W. McLeod, assisted by Mrs. O. J. Eenderson and Group 4. Mrs. H. F. Hutchinson and Mrs. J. Squair presided at the coffee urns. Dr. D. D. McDonaid and Mrs. P. G.Might thanked the artists. Mr. Fred Truil, the faithful treasurer, was gratified 50 many new members enrolled during the evening, amongst whom was Miss Bertha McNeill, dietitian at On- tario Hospital, New Toronto. It was pleasing to note that Mrs. H. S. Fee and her daughter were again amongst the regulars. The happy atmosphere of these meetings bring out the truth of Chas. W. Elliott who said "The elements of happiness are, love of nature, acquaintance with the ivide earth, congenial intercourse with superior minds, and abiding friendships." Tyrone Tyrone Women's Institute met in the vestry on Wednesday with a fair attendance. Mrs. Norman Woodley took charge. Rail cal was answered by a favorite Bible verse.

Red Cross Parcels for Prisoners ie n n- re ig ýe t dr Red Cross Parcels (Continued fromn Page 1) young Spencer of the South Ward, both of Bowmanville. There were dlso Corp. Grey of Newcastle and Pte. Eari Foilis of Oshawa. It was like old home week until the pri- vates were separated from the of- ficers and N.C.O's. Russ motored to Newcastle, Monday, to bring news of Corp. Grey to his mother, who had not as yet been informed he was a prisoner. Reereation Putting in time at the camp consisted in piaying bridge, read- ing and studying fromn books sup- plied fromn Canada. At one time they had ioud speakers outside the wire that told news issued bfromn Berlin and a mimeo release .was read twice or three times a iweek, giving a controlled report on the war's progress. Guards were soidiers who had been wounded 5 or 6 times on various fronts and unfit for further com- bat. The general treatment was good with no instances whatever of brutalities. But there was strict discipline at ail times. There were but two attempts at escape iand since the declaration of "na- 1tional emergency" officer prison- ers warned that any one escaping 7would be instantly shot. Booked For Home Russ left Germany for home on Jan. 18, but there wcre many de- lays gathering personnel until the ship, the noted Gripsholm, sailed from Marseilles, France. Among the passengers were 400 civil- ians, Czechs and Poles, destined for the U.S.A. The trip to the boat was made via Munich and Switzerland. The ocean voyage took 14 days and ail ranks travel- led first ciass. Repatriates were selectcd by Swiss doctors acting for the International Red Cross, whose word was final and after two examinations Russ was chos- en. At Marseilles, the Canadian Supply Corps issued a brand new uniform to each soldier and every item necded even to dressing gown and slippers. On arrivai at New York, they were met by members of the Canadian Legion and army representatives from Ottawa -and were given every as- sistance possible. At New York, Russ met Coi. Cock, an Ottawa of- ficiai who sent his regards to the editor of The Statesman, .an old time friend. The trip from New York to Montreal was by pullman with diner, and "boy was it some class". Wife snd Son Overseas Whiie overseas Russ was mar- ried to Miss Eleanor Corbett of Manchester, who was born at Kitchener, Ont., and went to Eng- land at 12 years of age. They have one son, Russell Charles, and Russ hopes they may be home with him before his 30-day leave expires for they are on priority for sailing. While at New York he did not know if they were in Canada or not s0 the officiais cabied England at 3 p.m. and got a reply back in a few hours saying they were stili in England. Praise for Red Cross "It's good to be back to good old Canada" was the way Russ put it and he has no plans as yet for the future for he is due back at headquarters for a medical board. He formerly worked for the Maher Shoe stores in Bow- manville, Picton and Belleville, but his decision for the future will be taken after he gets thoroughiy readjusted after more than Èive years abroad and some consider- able harrowing experiences. His final word was, "Don't lorget to give the Red Cross the highest praise possible". HOW MANY FARMERS WILL MAKE TAX RETURNS? The number of Canadian farm- ers now making income tax re- turns bas very sharply increased, The Financial Post reports from Ottawa. "Unofficially it is learn- ed," says The Post's Ottawa cor- respondent, "that last year almost 25,000 farmers paid income tax. This compares with about 3,500 in the tax year 1942-43. "As expressed by a man in a position to know, there has been in the past a most disappointing rural response to the annual com- mand of His Majesty's Govern- ment for a tax return on the part of every citizen earning over and above the statutory exemption." But it is generally recognized that the special problems of farmn bookkeeping make compliance g witb present regulations very dif-1 co-operatively in aur cornmunity, ficuit.

Grain binders might be equipped with a tarpaulin on a spool which could be quickly and easily pull- ed aver parts vuinerable ta ramn. Binders shouid be made so that loading and unlaading would be easier and quicker. Ail combus- tion engines should be equipped with pressure lubricating systems. A buil-dozer would be a useful new machine in aur district for grading, breaking, clearing, etc. A mechanical boot cleaner at the door would save labor in the home. A combine cauld be used Il ________ and the Eastern group at H. F. Osborne's with 25 present. We are very pleased that aur attendance increases week by week. "Should Producers Control Marketing?" was aur tapic for discussion. Growers' or producers' market- ing associations are valuable as they have (1) provided markets, (2) improved prices, (3) given support ta the producer, (4) led ta improvement in quality of pro- ducts. We think that there are a nurn- ber of products wbich should be covered by a provincial marketing scheme. This would be of bene- fit in the case of new potatoes. There is a tendency ta reduce the price in order ta get rid 0f the product and thus the price is un- certain. Unfair grading 0f eggs would be overcome by such a system. Peas and corn should bie handled under business condi- tions similar ta the tomato busi- ness. At present the prices of hogs and beef are controlled too largely by packers. The bar- ALEX LAURA SECORD CANDIES gaining power of an association is especially needed when the de- mand is not so -great. Producer controlled marketing does infringe on the freedom of farmers to market their own goods in their own way but it is more profitable to the farmer to have some law and order in business and the individuai must give up some freedom for the good 0f the majority. Co-operative marketing a n d provincial and national boards set up by the producers would be the best methods of marketing to place Canada in a position to belp feed the people of the worid in the post-war period. Producer controlled boards should be estab- lished to ascertain the products needed and arrange for produc- tion and marketing at fair prices. Both groups will meet in Sunday School of Ebenezer Church on Feb. 26.
