Similar societies throughout the province are graded according to their service to the community, and the local society now rates with the better ones in the pro- vince. Deputy Reeve Gene Sanders, chairman of property committee, reported that repairs and altera- tions at Hillcrest Lodge are pro- gressing and stated that he has hopes of the work being com- pleted by the middle of Novem- ber. It was reported that the Tag Days held at Port Hope, Rose- neath, and Cobourg, netted the society $1,181.77. A donation from Cobourg to the extent of $192 was this society's share in Cobourg's Community Chest drive. A. J. Ballett, chairman of the 'commit- tee, expressed his appreciation for the grand support the society re- ceived here and especially to those who took an active part in the campaign. A general outline of the work being done by the individual staff members of the Children's Aid Society was given by Superinten- dent Arthur B. Finnie. At the end of September, he said, this society had under its care and supervision 170 children, and was giving service to 121 families. Nine children were submitted to care by the society in September. In his report of the board of directors, Fred Belyea, presidentf of the Port Hope Rotary Club stated that the four clubs of thei United Counties are adopting the1 children's playroom at Hillcrest1 Lodge and it will henceforth be known as the "Rotary Room." 1 Rotary Clubs of Port Hope, Bowmanville, Cobourg and Camp- bellford are sponsoring the work in all details. A new floor will be laid, the room will be redecor- ated, tables, chairs, and toys willt be purchased. They plan also to equip the playground for the summer months and skates and sleighs will be supplied for the children's outdoor sports. A. J. Ballett and Bev. George compriser the committee in charge of the project. Dr. N. S. McKechnie, President,s presided. Golden Wedding 1s Celebrated by Bow- c manville Man, Wife 1 The British Columbia "Victoria Daily Times" of Tuesday, Octob- er 16, 1945, in its social columns,a gives prominence to a two-column picture and accompanying newsa of the Golden Wedding of Dr. h and Mrs. S. G. Clemence of thata city. Fortunately the editor ofn The Statesman when looking over the weekly exchanges of newspa- pers, found the story of this cele- bration.f The story failed to give the I particulars of the early life ofd the groom, and it remains for f The Statesman to give something of his background. The subject i of the sketch, Dr. S. G. Clemence,c was born in Durham County, the brother of Mrs. H. J. Babcock, i Mrs. W. C. Ashton, Mrs. Maria t Jewell, Mrs. W. C. Allin and Mr. T. H. Clemence, Bowmanville.r So Dr. Clemence we consider a f real Durham County boy. f The parents of this future pro- ~ fessional man were the late John and Maria Clemence, Bowman- ville, and their son, the subject of this story, graduated from the Chicago College of Dental Sur- gery in 1893. In the same year he went to British Columbia and for the past 52 years has prac- tised dentistry in Victoria, capi- tal of the province. His wife was Sadie Durham, daughter of the late Thomas and Sarah Durham, born in New York, educated in Canada. To- gether, Mr. and Mrs. Clemence have been for the past half cen- tury, two of the central figures in the social and religious life *of their community. Lifelong mem- bers of the United Church, they charted a career of service that has occasioned the acclaim of their townsmen on their Golden Wedding. Their son, John D. Clemence, is a successful business man in Los Angeles, California. Spring Pullet Scorns Present Strike Wave Cackling disapproval of present strikes here and abroad that threaten food supplies and dis- tribution, a 1945 spring pullet has recently gone on record by pro- ducing an egg of unusual pro- portions. Measured in The Statesman office this egg was found to be 6¾ by 8¾ inches measured by east and west di- mensions; the weight over a quarter pound. Bill Ellis, local maintenance superintendent, Bank of Mont- real, collie and poultry fan, brought the specimen to the edi- tor's desk. He gave verbal afti- davit that the adolescent, feath- ered contributor was a white Leghorn in the flock of Wes Allin, Base Line. It made no undue, soprano notice of the event; simply laid the offering on the hen-house doorstep and went on scratching. Ford and packing house workers may profit from this example. There are estimated to be as many as 5,000,000 insects flying in the air above a square mile of land. This fact may be verified by emerging from a screened porch on any warn evening.

HOME AND SCHOOL ASSOCIATION ENTERTAINED BY MRS. PERFECT'S GROUP The gym was transformed very artistically with decorations of autumn fruit and vegetables in their colorful array, all backed by screens and many beautiful flowers, on Wednesday evening for the regular meeting of the Home and School Association. The program was presented by Mrs. A. Perfect and her group. Var- iety in the entertainment was provided in a one-act play, "Those Troublesome Teens." The play was presented by the executive mothers and four high school students. It represented a four o'clock meeting of a group of mothers fron the school meeting with the teacher for discussion and study and showed the benefits derived from such parent-teacher discus- sion groups, held to study prob- lems confronting parent, teacheri and student. Those taking part were: Mrs.i Smith, a mother of the old doc-i trines and disciplines, Mrs. For-1 rest A. Dilling; Mrs. Jones, dom- ineering and unprogressive, Mrs. J. Albert Cole; Mrs. Gray, timid,1 uncertain, accepting all views, Mrs. R. Hutchinson; Mrs. Green, modern, intelligent and pleasing,i Mrs. A. J. Frank; Miss Thomas,1 high school teacher of modern school, wholesome, kindly, just,1 Mrs. Symons; Mrs. Rich, new-1 comer, broadminded, co-opera- tive, Mrs. Selby Grant; Mrs. Price, conservative but open-minded,1 Mrs. Thos. Buttery; Sally Jones, defiant daughter of Mrs. Jones, Miss Jacqueline Clark; John - Smith, inefficient, intimidated,1 Wallace Dilling; Sue Rich, merry,1 unafraid, charming, Miss Joyce Grant; Billy Green, wholesome, attractive, fearless, James Frank. The play was well presented and was interspersed with goodi humor, to hold the attention of itst audience as well as instructive1 mateniai and a moral so well por-t tayed. The summing up by the teacher of the group explained to those listening the pitfalls con-a fronting both parent and child.i It pointed out how the lack of un-c derstanding in parents and old- r fashioned methods of bringing up y children resulted in their lack of n initiative, creativeness and ineffi- fi ciency in their lives and under- i takings. Also that constant boss- e ng and a high-handed way of e telling children what to do every minute, develops stabborness ands rebelliousness. She presented the r following "Ten Commandments P or Parents" and felt they would h help. They are copied here for those who could not. attend as they may be helpful. Ten Commandments for Parents (by Paul M. Pitman) 1. Thou shalt love thy child with all thy heart, with all thy soul, with all thy strength, but wisely, with all thy mind. 2. Thou shalt think of thy child, not as something belonging to thee, but as a person. 3. Thou shalt regard his res- pect and love, not as something to be demanded, but something worth earning. 4. Every time thou art out of patience with thy child's imma- turity and blundering, thou shalt call to mind some of the childish adventures and mistakes which attended thine own coming of age. 5. Remember that it is thy child's privilege to make a hero of thee, and take thou thought to be a proper one. 6. Remember also that thy ex- ample is more eloquent than thy fault-finding and moralizing. 7. Thou shalt strive to be a sign-post on the highway of life rather than a rut out of which the wheel cannot turn. 8. Thou shalt teach thy child to stand on his own feet and fight his own battles. 9. Thou shalt help thy child to see beauty, to practice kindness, to love truth, and to live in friend- ship. 10. Thou shalt make of the place wherein thou dwellest a real home-a haven of happiness for thyself, for thy children, for thy friends and for thy children's friends. Miss Collette Ferguson favored with a violin selection "Ave Mar- ia" and encore, accompanied at the piano by Mrs. W. Workman. Miss L. Bragg's class won the teachers' prize witb 17 mothers present. Mrs. A. J. Frank gave a report of the Regional Conference held in Oshawa, and as war work convenor she pleaded with the members, "We have worked 6 years for war, let us now work 6 months for peace." She asked or 18" quilt blocks to be handed n at the next meeting. A very enjoyable sing-song was conduct- ed by Miss Lena Taylor. The meeting was closed by singing "The King." Refresh- ments were served by Mrs. A. Perfect and her group. A social1 half hour was enjoyed by all. Destination Singapore The carefully-crated conveyor belts, pictured above, are headed for Singapore-but that faraway port is just one of the many for- eign destinations of Bowmanville-built rubber products. Bowman- ville citizens have reason to be proud of their contribution to the prosperity of their community and of Canada-which depends, to a large extent, upon export trade. LIST HONORED SOLDIERS IN HANSARD Newtonville On Wednesday afternoon, Oct. 24, Women's Institute members were guests of Mrs. J. T. Pearce, at her home, for the October ses- sion. On Monday Miss Hamilton, Reg. N., Dept. of Agriculture, Toronto, addressed us on "Communicable Diseases," giving much profitable information. The school has a new piano and the board very kindly accepted our $15 donation to be applied to- wards the purchaseprice. Cot- fort Committee reported sending fruit to a sick friend. Mrs. Milli- gan, Mrs. Pearce, Mrs. Wade and Mrs. Morris are responsible for sending Christmas boxes to our boys still overseas. Christmas cheer for boys in Canada will re- ceive attention at next meeting. We wish to thank the many people who so generously respon- ded to our Clothing Collection appeal. Collections were ail in good condition. The president and appointed helpers, sorted bundles and packed the goods for overseas shipment. Program, in care of Mrs. Rowe, included a poem read by Mrs. Pearce, "Cure For Over-tired Women,'" one treatnient being breakfast in bed. Mrs. Dunn's pleasing contralto voice was heard td advantage in singing a beautiful hymn. Mrs. Gilmer, quoting from a magazine, told of the kitchen of tomorrow, of the many improvements to be per- fected when plastic comes into general use and insulated glass takes the place of iron and wood. Mrs. Lancaster took for her sub- ject, Current Events and discuss- ed the disorder of the time-the crime increase, the frequent bur- glaries and hold-ups, the many accidents caused thrpugh care- lessness, the organized strikes; the privations and want in European countries, and in closing, stressed the urgency of the 9th Victory Loan. Mrs. Rowe dealt with the topic,j Agriculture and Canadian Indus- tries and spoke of the many agri- cultural organizations of today so effective in bringing closer co- operation amongst farmers, and especially emphasized the value of Farm Forum. She also re- ferred to the handicaps of the farm, among them the shortage of help and high wages demand- ed, and the difficulty of obtain- ing adequate machinery.* Mrs. Rowe said in closing that the far- mer feeds the world, reminding us of the poem titled The Farmer. The king may rule o'er land and sea The *lord may live right royally The soldier ride in pomp and pride, The sailor roam the ocean wide; But this or that whate'er befall The toiling farmer feeds them ail. The merchant may both buy an sell, The teacher do her' duty well, The writer thinks, the poet sing The sculptor fashions wondrous t h i n g s , s The doctor heals, the lawyer pleads, The miner follows thenprecious leads, And men may nise and men ma, fall But the toiling farmer feeds then all. id 's, y m God bless the man who sows the wheat Who finds us bread and fruit and meat, May his purse be heavy, his heart be light, His cattle and corn and all go right. God bless the seeds his hands let fall For the farmer must provide for all. Response to roll call: "What I Like Best on the Farm," gave ad- ded interest to the meeting. Cream took the lead with chickens in second place. There were those who liked the peace and quiet of the wide open spaces, there was the one who liked the tidy farm with fences and buildings in good repair. The vegetable garden and the beauty of the flowers were also mentioned. There was the one who liked best the end of the day with the oppotunity hers to rest in the comfortable rocker by the win- dow to watch the evening sha- dows deepen and plan tomorrow's tasks. Then there was the little mother who liked best of all the fact that at nightfall the husband came home, her own being em- ployed on night work. Our old- est member, 81 years, named work as her preference and claim- ed the alert memory and excellent health she enjoys to be due to the regular duties she performs with each day. Then there was the strong healthy member who liked pumping water. This contest was given-Find the girls' names in the list of sentences given.

W. R. Strike,.Chairman Hose That Helped Save London Major Frank C. Foley Awarded Bronze Star A recent despatch fro mArmy Public Relations, New York City, direct to The Statesman, states: "Attached is a story about a man in service overseas whose family and friends read your paper." Accompanying the story is a pho- tograph of this young man being congratulated for meritorious services by the Commanding General, Army Service Force, Mediterranean Theatre. The ci- tation follows: "Awarded the Bronze Star Me- dal for meritorious achievements in connection with military oper- ations in Italy, Major Frank C. F4ey, husband of Mrs. Adelaide K. Foley, 314 Cambridge St., Grand Forks, North Dakota, is shown being congratulated by Brigadier General Francis H.

Foley, Bowmanville, Ontario, Canada." "Major Foley is water supply officer of this base section and prior to bis army service was as- sistant geologist for the U.S. Geo- logical Survey at the University of North Dakota, Grand Forks." "Overseas since Nov., 1942, he has served in Casablanca and Naples before going to his pres- ent station in Leghorn. He is a graduate of the University of To- ronto and Princeton University." As intimated above, there are indeed many relatives and friends of the family who will be glad to learn of the distinction accord- ed Major Foley, who in service abroad now joins the coterie of local Canadians who have been decorated for distinguished ser-c vices in the late war. The States- man expresses community con- gratulations to Major Foley andc his mother, to whom the photo-1 graph is being presented.i REPORTS ON MEAT IN LOCKERS OVERDUE Reports are late in coming in from people who have meat in lockers, ration administration officials of Wartime Prices and Trade Board declare. Owners of cold storage plants from whom locker space may be rented are required to see that their clients get report forms which must be completed and sent to the nearest WPTB ration office. The reports will tell the Prices Board how much meat was in each locker when rationing be- gan.From the quantity of meat in the locker, 4 pounds per per- son per family may be deducted before coupons need be handed in. Over and above the 4 pounds per person allowance, coupons must be turned in to the extent of one for each two pounds of meat. The number, however, must not exceed 50 per cent of the meat coupons in all the books in the possession of one family. WPTB is prepared to take en- forcement action if reports are not in its hands in the immediate future. dild ou c eto CandV Congratulations and Best WXishes To Qur Largest Customer Durham County Plowing Match Largely Attended The Durham County Annual Plowing Match was held on Gor- don Kellogg's farm near Welcome on Oct. 23.
