THE STATESMAN HONOR ROLL - On Active Service - Major Wm. G. James Capt. John M. James W.O. Donald Cameron CSM. George Graham Cpi. A. Living (Killed in Action in Italy) Children of Bowmanville Challenge Police Control If may as well be told right now that The Stafesman 's iicws reporter, wlien making the rounds of fthc fown ini search of mcii refurning froin overseas, lias seen evidences fliat children within the corporation have been pernitted f0 u unrestrainied and thoughtlessly iin encroaching on, nof onily fown regulations but flic riglits of farniers of flic district. In order f0 make these fînid- iugs known f0 fthc public and f0 town of- ficials particularly, we state these facts: Ou Friday, July 13, in the affernoon. 16 chldreîî were observed at one street inter- section, loudly proclaiming, "here comes flic pea truck." When if arrived at the cor- ner, 16 youngsfers immedîafelv grabbed at ifs load of green peas destiuied for flic local eanning facfory. They gof a verv consider- able baud and cliased flic truck for more. They shelled ouftflic peas and ftle Nines &frewed flic streefs. If goes on day affer day, wifh quite evidenfly nîo one f0 restrain them, eîther parentfs or officiais. Whaf does if mean? Parmers stand the loss. It is jusf as if a horde of children raid- ed the farmer's fields and fook what they wanfed. In short if is dowiîright tlîievery and sliould not, must niot be condoned at any stage of production. If gives flic town a black eye and mosf eertainly confribufes to juvenile delînquency. Farmei-s have a liard time as if is withouf sîibmitfing f0o this sort of tliouglîtless tliievery. There are two more fhiîîgs fliat ouglît f0 be broîîglt f0 public attention. First, tliere is the parking of bicycles on King- St. Racks have been provided by flic Rotarv Club -but flic majority simply ignore thelu and lay bicycles ouflic sidewalk or park them beside buildings. And fraffie rules are increasingly ignored, inicludiug riding bicycles on sidewalks and that inclîides Main Street. Siuîce fthc Bicycle Club sus- pended fliere lias been a deplorable laxity. Second, if is observed thaf street sigu standards liaw- been bent at several inîter- sections and fire-box sigils tori dow-n, witlî glass sliaffered in flic alarm boxes. This unay or rnay nof be chargeable fo chldrcii, but if shows flic need for check-up. Cerfainlv children are responsible for fîvo of flic above instances of inobedience, or, if wc may be permiifcd flic observation, maybe their par- ents who are leg-ally responisible. The sug- gestion lias been made fliat in flic cases above, parents and chîdren should be brouglif f0 court to receive a lesson ini citizenship. Furfher fliat ail bicycles îîot properly oheying road and street regulat ions sliould be impounded, subjeet f0 cash finles for recoverv. If action is ii@ded 'by Council. flien let 's take if. Meat Rationing ExDflained Bi' Prices and Trade Board The public have been told about the re- introduction of ment rafioniing but we be- lieve flic iajority are unaware of wvhen if will go ixto effecf and flic general provi- sions fliat are f0 be laid downl. Whaf is knowni at flic momnît is that w-e shiah have meatless Tiuesdavýs and Fridays, the first of which %vas Frida-, Jîîly 13. A recent bulle- tin of flic Priceos Bo)ard gives zflîrthe.r par- ban. With thîs pureininarv information flic publie have a general idea of flic enfire set- up wlien itficeomies wholly operative. Chair- mnan D)onald Gordon stafeý: '"I am confident that witli the- added objective of providiug food for flic unforfunafe people of %var- torji Europe, we will receive widespread public support for the rationing regula- t ions." Booster for Bowmanville Beach Suggests Advertising Its Value A letter on the front page of The States'- man, July 12, signed "Beach Comber." sug- gests that people of the town are appareîîtly not inipressed withi the fact that w-e have a lake resort second to noue at Port Bowman- ville and fliat fthc interests of the communify would be îvell served to improve and extend ifs facilities and to advertise its attractions as do other resorts in the Province during the suinîer. H1e tells that the Beach As- sociation raises the funds to pay for im- provemients. enforces garbage collection twice a week, and contributes $250 a vear for maintenance of the cguard at the railway cro8sing. This voluntarv Association does ifs best f0 accommodafe and attracf from 800 to 1000 people to the beachi each week- end ail summer. It is also pointed ouf that here is found one of the best sandv- beaches on Lake On- fario only hlaf a mile from fthc C.N.R. sta- tion, an easy walking distance over a road built UP by- the Association. Finally, the suggestion is put forward fliat the present patronage at tlhe beach is quite a means of reýve nue to the fown and could be greatly expanded through civ-ic interesf anîd en- couragement. Some fowns in Ontario with leess attractive or desîrable locations, ad- vertised their summer beaches on flie On- tario Panorama last wiinter and benefit ac- cordinglx. The argument seemis fo be that wîe cer- tainlv have a fine communitY asset at the beach which we do not exploit as a commun- ity and hience lose not only increascd reve- unues for local nierchants but a ineans of boosting Bowmaîîville. AIl this adds up to another argument for a live Board of Trade or action bv- Town Conncil and citizens as a whole. There eau be no question that the refurn of nornmal fimes wilI see an immense ilîcrease of tourist traffic anîd xith the new highwav completed, Bowmanville Beach can be made so attractive and convenient as to accomodafe thousands seekinz a real holiday hordering one of Ontario's finest towns and countrvsides.

Simncoe Countv Federation An Oustanding Success The strengtli of the Canadian Federafion of Agriculture rests upon thle strengfth of its inidividuial uniits iwhich make up the Pro- vincial organiizations and tlirougli which the coordiniated voice of farmers is brought to bear uiponi goveriinienits when dealing with flic problenis of agriculture. Counity Fed- erations as basic uniits, have showu remark- able growth. at least in Ontario, despite two factors genieralîx- conceded to bie adverse to successful farmer organization. They are, first, lack of help whicli would presuppose lack of time for organization, and second, a general rîse in faim income. Farm organiza- fions in the past have been usually inspired by liard times. But flic Federation lias succeeded and as w-e note from recent press releases, one of the foremost units, flic Siîncoe Counfty Fed- eration of Agriculture, lias achieved a suc- cess fliaf should be an inspiration for all similar units. If owes ifs success, apparently, to wise and enthusiastie leadership and f0 business like methods of organizafion. The report of ifs recent annual meeting is one of achievement bofl ini finance and in work uindertaken. During flic year thiere wvere held 225 community- meetings. Commnittees reporfed included beef cattle, cream pro- ducers. education, rural life, co-operative commnittee and others, a cross section of basic endeavors. In finance, receipts were $6.893 which ini- cluded a Couinty grant of $1500, and Tow-- slîip grauts tota]ling $2416. Expendifures iuceluded $.1000 to the Ontario Federatiôn and $200 f0 flic Ojtario Farni Radio Forums. After aIl expenditures, ftic balance on hand w-as $2,532. One of the features of the field day was flic entertainment of childreu wifh a feed and prizes. Aunouncement w-as made of the formation of flirce beef caîf clubs with 50 members, financed by flic County Agricultural Com-mittee. There lias been some question of liow this commitfee would work with flic Federafioîî and if is likely other Countý' Federations vil1 explore flic matter. The Simcoe Federaf ion certainly appears f0 be a going concern. IN THE DIM AND DISTANT PAST From The Statesman Files FIFTY YEARS AGO JuIy 10, 18P5 L. N. Hogarth, M. W. Pascoe, W. F. Dale and J. A.

Dear Mr. James: I just receiv- cd fhree Statesmans and wanfed f0 fell you how pleased I was te sec a copy for the first finie since leaving Canada. If was almosf as good as beung home again-o read about friends and acquaint- ances. I noticed fthc photo of William and lis bride and am tempted f0 follow his exampbe as there are many loveby girls in Scotland. Speaking of girls, may I congratubate Ruth and Margaret Storey on receiving their Gradu- ation Dipbomas. Saw fthc picture of Jim Hancock and -his bride. Now I shoubd like te tell you of some of my experiences. First, I like fthc navy very much, al- thougli I suppose niy heart is stili with fhe Air Force (of course you niust remember I have nef been at sea yef). We have been very fortunate in fliaf we were station- cd for a short tume in several parts of Great Britain so have been able te sec a great deal of thc country. Cumberland was Our first stop and you have ne doubt heard efthfe lovely hilbs there. Then our first introduction te Scotland was around Dundee and I believe I prefer iftet Engband, aise the Scoftish te thc English. Affer doing some flying we wcre given a few days beave so I skip- pcd down f0 Edinburgî. There I esaw the Castie which was very .impressive, St. Giles Cathedral, 1John Knox's House, Scotf's Me- meniaI, and other hisforic places. The city ifself is very beautiful. Then we skipped a course and were given anofler cigîf days leave and I decided te, sec N. Ire- land. I believe Belfast is more like our own cities than any I have seen, and fthe people there seeni f0 live more as we do. I went througli their Parliament Buildings anq met a Rotarian who lad been te Toronto. Wifh a couple of days left I went down te London and had a quick look around. I saw Buckingham Palace a nd flic clanging ef the Guards, West- minster Abbey and Houses of Panliament and of course, London Bridge. I'm here witl 31 ex-R.C.A.F. in- structors and we are forming thc first Squadren of ail Canadians in fIe R.N. Fleet Air Arm. Tîey are a grand bunch, from ail over Canada. We are laving a very infcresting time fbying Seat ires (Navy version of tamous Spit- tire) and are looking forward f0 deck landings and accelerafed take-otta in fhe near future. There is a good possibility of our getting on a Canadian carrier. Some Can- adian phofograplers were lere fhe other day se we' migît have seme publicity back h eoni e.
