No markets for surplus products are one, anywhere, 'can successfully deny these plain facts. Now George Drew again ap- peals to the electorate in a contest foisted at public expense upon the people through the combined con- nivance of the CCF, Mitch Hep- burn and his left-wing allies, the camouflaged Communists. The striking feature in the whole set'- up is this: Drew was not defeated . over any measure of legislation he advanced for every Act and Bill he sponsored was strictly in line with good government. The gangup of irreconcilable factions was made for reasons now becom- ing apparent, the confusion of the public, with agreements and saw- offs simply to d.efeat Drew.

The promise of 50 per cent relief from education costs has been carried out. Curricula for modern teach- ing is established and so is re- ligious instruction. Hepburn cried "ruin" at the 50 per cent re- fund and now with unstable, vote- catching exuberance, he promises 90 per cent. From, "it con't be done"'to "me too" is the measure of Hepburn statesmanship. Drew has met this plank in his platform. Social Security, embracing many factors of policy, has been effected by legislation. Educa- tional facilities are now made available to children, not on the basis of ability of the parents to pay, but on the basis of the child's ability to take advantage of widened opportunities. Unem ployment insurance has been de fined and extended in its appli- cation. Old age pensions have been increased as well as security allowances. Day care centres for children now number 22. And re lief food schedules have been de termined in advance of any pos sible collapse in world trade and understanding, wise future insur ance. Farm and Labor Farming has not been forgotten A Provincial Commission, com withdrawn from the hancis oi ex ploiters and 14 million acres re- turned to the public domain. Planned reforestation has become the policy and never again will unscientific destruction.of the for- est by quick harvest be permit- ted. This is far-reaching conser- vation. Veterans and Planning For War Veterans, provision has been made for protection of their finances during service and to give them priority in civil ser- vice jobs.

A new Ministry of Planning and Development was created which has made great strides in working out solutions for the problems of the post-war years, all co-ordinated with local organ- izations of the same character. Strong Government All the above are enumerated to demonstrate the indisputable 1!act that Drew bas carried out bis promises, even in the short space o! esethan two years. The list is by no means complete but it shows that Ontario has had "Strong Government," wise gov- ernment, progressive government, in short the kind of government people of Ontario demand. No party or combination of party elements in opposition, who have forced this election, can form a government to carry on progres- sively as has Drew and his able cabinet. Now, one of the ablest of : Drew's Ministers, Hon. Dr. R. P. Vivian seeks re-election in Dur- f ham County. Mis record has been outstanding, his personal and - political life is of highest integ- rity. He has won the right to re- election. He and his leader give y fullest assurance of continued r good government. On this alone he deserves the confidence and - support of Durham electors. Since the world was, men have - not heard with the ear, neither hath the eye seen, what God hath prepared for them that wait upon . Him and work righteousness. - Mary Baker Eddy. s fi s ri -F -d e f f n C- "O. Paul Symons Home Was A Lucky Flier Last Friday we ran across two lim young chaps who would pass or junior high school students anywhere. They were PO Paul Symonsand his brother Kelvin, ons of Mrs. Muriel Symons, Principal of Bowmanville's South Ward Public School. Paul has ecently returned from overseas duty with the R.C.A.F., and Kel- vin has just completed his year's exams in Civil Engineering at To- ronto University. Both plan to return to the University in the fall, with Paul taking the Com- merce and Finance course. Paul has the record of being one of the luckiest fliers with the R.C. A.F. He completed 36 operation- al tlights over Europe as a mem- her of the crew of a Lancaster bomber and not once was the ma- chine hit by flak or hostile air- craft fire and not a single mem- ber wounded or injured. Con- sidering the range of flights and fire power of modern weapons, this is indeed a record. PO Symons, who is 23, spent two years in the office of Mc- Kinnon Industries, St. Catharines, after leaving High School and en- listed in Aug., 1942, taking his wings as a navigator at Portage la Prairie. He went overseas in 1943 and was attached to an R.A. F. squadron. Assignments with the Lancaster bomber command covered territory extending from Norway to Italy. Each machine had 7 of a crew and the largest flight numbered 1500 machines. The average round trip was 7 to 8 hours and the longest Il hours. The flights covered adl the main centres that have crumbledunder allied air bombing and oftenin the closing days of the war, the crews were within sight of the Russians closing in on Berlin. Bombing became so intense that fires rising from German cities could be seen by the crews 150 miles away. According to Paul, the experi- ence was thrilling and interest- ing, with the satisfaction that air power has done so much to bring victory to the allies. His tour of duty came to a close orl March 7 with the issue no longer in doubt. It is believed the Lancasters will not be used in the Pacific theatre, hence he is home and expects to be discharged shortly. Oshawa Presbytery Met At Newcastle Rev. George Telford, minister of St. Andrew's Church, Oshawa, was elected chairman of Oshawa Presbytery of the United Church for the next year, at the meeting of Presbytery in Newcastle, on Thursday of last week. Rev. P. L. Jull, Brooklin, was re-elected secretary and F. M. Chapman, Pickering, was re-elected trea- surer. Edwin Hancock of Newcastle was received as a candidate for the ministry of the United Church. Rev. A. D. Cornett, O.B.E., Min- ister of Simcoe Street Church, Oshawa, withdrew his name as the nominee for President of the Bay of Quinte Conference- from Oshawa Presbytery. Rev. M. B. Neal, Renfrew, was nominated for President of the Conference whicb meets in Simcoe Street Church, Oshawa, on May 29. Rev. George Telford, Oshawa, and Rev. J. E. Griffith, Bowmon- ville, were nominated to the settlement committee of confer- ence. Rev. C. H. Dickenson, Board Stewarddo! the UnitedChurcb, addressed the presbytery on the Moderator's crusade and also on the publications of the United Church. By a standing vote the presby- tery put on record its gratitude to God for the great decisive victory over the evil might of Nazi Ger- many; its sense of indebtedness to all in the Allied countries who have stood with us in the struggle, and our pride in the heroic record of our Canadian armed forces and the steadfastness and fidelity of our Canadian people. Approve Three Calls Calls were approved as follows: From Northminster Church, Osh- awa, to Rev. B. S. Norwood of White Fox, Sask.; from Newton- ville to Rev. L. B. Smith of Addi- son; from Pickering to Rev. R. C. Copeland of Gorrie. Congratulations were extended to Rev. A. D. Cornett who is to receive the degree of Doctor of Divinity from Queen's University at its convocation this week. SUNDAY SCHOOL ANNIVERSARY MAY 27 AT TRINITY CHURCH Rev. J.

Vocational Training Topie 0f Rotarian' Fred Gardner Some of the problems and highlights of commercial éduca- tion and vocational training as carried on today in Canada, were presented for information of Ro- tarians at Friday's luncheon in the Balmoral Hotel, when Rota- rian Fred Gardner, teacher of commercial subjects at Bowman- ville High School, delivered his classification address. It was Mr. Gardner's first, formal appear- ance as a speaker since becoming a Rotarian and he certainly up- held the contention that within the local Club there was speaking talent of the first order. With surprising fluency Mr. Gardner dealt with a subject generally too little known and concluded with constructive suggestions for this particular sphere of education. Past President Lou Dippell, Principal of the High School, in- troduced his colleague Mr. Gard- ner. He told that Fred had re- ceived his education at St. Thomas, later graduating from Western University, London, and 4 years ago had come to Bowman- ville High School as a teacher of commercial subjects, in which he had made an outstanding success He had been equally successful mi establishing himself in the social life of the community when he marmied a former High School pupileMiss Josie Caverly. That Mitch Hepburn, also of St. Thom- as, might have had something to do with Fred's inspiration in choosing a career, was neatly par- ried when Fred rose to speak. Mr. Gardner went back to 1919, after the last war, to give back. ground to his discourse on voca- tional training. The government of the day set up a Royal Com- mission charged with the task of examining Canadian educational systems with a view of determin- ing what should be done to ac- commodate the needs of men re- leased from war and anxious for reestablishment on terms - com- mensurate with the service they had rendered and the time lost personally m attaining adequate education and training following national service. Since education w-as a Provincial concern, the Commission could only make rec- ommendations. The findings were for a state- aided system of vocational train- ing and the government voted 10 million dollars to be shared by the Provinces. Ontario was one of the first to take advantages of the provision, and at certain cen- tres, schools were built and others equipped for the purpose desig- nated. But they were mostly in urban centres. For rural Canada, the idea was found impractical by virtue of the factors of dis- persal of population, road and weather conditions and central building accommodation, in other words, transportation difficulties. However, the district High Schools had set up courses in commercial and vocational train- ing, recognizing that such train- ing has an enduring value in life, hut ail too few are able in rural centres to embrace this training, some because of economic condi- tions, many for lack of aptitude, most because of lack of transport- ation and central establishments. The task today is how to correct these inequitable conditions. To this problem, the Royal Commis- sion set up by the present govern- (continued on page 6) M E 1 Advantages In Being Blind R. W. Henry Tells Lions Many who have been inclined to view blindness as a misfortune and total, lifelong blindness as a calamity, would have formed an entirehy different opinion had theyrbeen privileged to hearha W. Henry, guest speaker ot the Lions Club, Monday evenrng. Mr. Henry is Field Secretary of the Institute and his address was dir- ected in telling of "The Advan- tages In Being Blind." President Bill Oliver turned over the conduct of the program to Lion Bob Kent, Chairman of Blind Work Committee, who, in bis formol speech keynoting the occasion, gave a comprehensive summary of the work of the com- mittee. With funds made avail- able by the Club the committee has been able during the past year to help many in the com- munity in getting treatment and being fitted with glasses suitable to their needs. According to Mr. Henry, the sightless, when reconciled with the fact of never again being able normally to enjoy the advantages of sight, and then turn to means of overcoming the handicap, are rewarded in many ways. They develop an inner sight and may acquire a philosophy that carries with it an intellectual apprecia- tion of the finer things of life, which, possibly they would not have achieved under conditions of normal vision. The great saving grace for the sightless came with the invention of means of reading and commu- nication, a system known as Braille. The speaker told some- thing of the history of this system. The first man to experiment with its possibilities was Charles Bar- bieer, a Frenchman, who opened a school for the blind in Paris n 1794. But the real and effective system which has since spread all over the world, was perfected by Louis Braille, another French- man, 1809-52, who died at 43 years of age. Braille, whose father was a shoemaker, used to play and help around the shop and was blinded by an awl at the age of 10. His genius turned to overcoming his handicap and to help for others to accept the advantages that can come to the sightless. At the age of 20, he had solved the problem of reading in the invention of the Braille system. The Braille system of printing and writing consists of the em- ployment of 63 various combina- tions of 6 raised dots, called "points." Once mastered, a blind person can read at the rate of 40 or 50 pages an hour, and interpret aloud with a facility almost equal that of those who have normal vision. The system is also used in writing music, and enjoyment of cultural subjects is thus facili- tated. The system spread rapidly ac- ross the globe. Schools and lib- raries sprang up and a new world opened for the sightless. The Braille library at Toronto now contains 22,000 volumes, embrac- ing all the best mn world litera- ture, including fiction. There is also an extension and loaning service with the annual turnover running to more than 38,000 vol- umes per yeoar. The same insti- tution also bas its own Braille* printing press. The sightless even become adept at bridge and card games, with Braille dots denoting each card. So with a new world of culture and communication open to all the sightless who wish to master Braille, the "handicap" of busi- ness very often comes to be ac- cepted as a blessing. Certainly, the speaker himself, who is sight- less, demonstrated that degree of indomitable cheerfulness, which formed the basis of his informed and thoughtful address, that blindness has distinct advantages. Mr. Henry was introduced by Lion Bill Fraser and thanks for his fine presentation were ex- pressed by Lion Dr. Harold Fer- guson. Reporting on Club activities, Dr. Bert Birks told of progress continuing at the Memorial Park which is sponsored by the Lions.

Sheds Friday night, between dusk and dawn, thieves entered the C.P.R freight sheds, Wellington St., and made away with several cartons of merchandise billed to stores ir the district, including Byam's at Tyrone and Ab Darch's Tobacco Shop, town. The total weight o the cartons was said to be 250 lbs but the total value was undis closed save that the Darch pack age containing tobacco was worth around $240. The depradation was carrie out without arousing anyone in nearby houses. When discovered in the morning, Chief Sidney Ven ton was called. He found tha entry had been made by breaking the glass of the office door an reaching through, the robber simply turned the knob of the Yale lock. Whether car or truc was employed could not be deter mined since the approaches wer of concrete, with no tire marks. Immediate steps were taken t track down the perpetrators, th chief hope of which is to inter cept them when trying to dispos of the goods. Circulars have bee printed and distributed warnin buyers to beware if any goods ar offered for s a 1 e other tha through regular channels. To dat no information is available of th identity of the thieves.

To achieve our aims we must Quoting the axiom, "no nation adhere to the principle of "Service can live unto itself alone" Mr. Berkinshaw said we need to define as well, Canada's present economic status as a nation. Generally the best way of judging the future is by a study of the past, but this may not be an entirely reliable guidein theseadays of swift and climatic changes. Canada has made great progress since the turn of the century in spite of two world wars and a major depression. Any review of the past 45 years may be fore. shortened by areview of the in- tensity of Canadian achievement during the past 6 years of war. We should remember, however that the high levels reached in industry and agriculture might not have been attained without the experience gained in preced- ing years.
