IN u E 2. 145MT 13 i i~ l GIVE GENEROUSLY TO MEMORIAL PARK TAG DAY World Charter Disussed SAt Rotary Club Luncheon sNo forma tspeaker having beer eured for the Rotary Club lun cheon at the Balmoral Hotel, Fri day, the program as arranged by Charles Carter Sr. took the forn of questions and answers in res pect of the United Nations Char- ter which was approved at the San Francisco Conference of Jun 1945. Written slips dealing witl seven main sections of the Char- ter were distributed among the various tables and members de. signated rose to deal with them extemporaneously, after which general discussion sought to clar- ify the points raised. President Cy Slemon conducted the usual club business prior tc the general mental exercises, the anticipation of which led several members to vacate their places following the usual singing of the National Anthem. As a matter of factual report- ing, The Statesman's scribe was almost bowled over at the door by six members hastening else- where with toothpicks at the 'port." Left isolated at one table was the sole visitor of the day, Rotarian halph Carr of Cobourg. With a smile and characteristic cigar, Charlie Miller, Orono, out- post member, took a bow and flowers for his birthday. Ross Strike, K.C., déclined comment when President Cy voiced club congratulations on the recent honor accorded him. Reporting on the week's bowl- ing, Frank McIlveen told that Grandpas Len Elliotj, and Arthur Hardy had at last Pirned out to loosen up their joints. Morley Vanstone was high man for the week with 250. Top position in the five-team schedule is held by Doc Rundle and still in the cellar is the Mel Dale aggregation. Forbes Heyland announced that candidates for volley ball turn out Thursday at 7 p.m. at the High School, to pick a team for the challenge laid down by . Charlie Miller, captain of the Orono stal- warts. Lions Club will provide the speaker for the joint inter-club dinner, Friday at 6:30 p.m., at S.O.E. banquet hall. Friday noon, Ted Flaxman, Chairman, In- ternational Committee took over for the program, assisted by Charles Carter who announced that the International President of Rotary had suggested discus- sion of the United Nations Char- ter for the week Nov. 11-17. The idea is being, observed by world- wide Rotary for this period. The plan was in accord with Rotary ideals in promoting international understanding. Question 1. "What are the pur- poses and principles of the Char- ter?" was dealt with by Forbes Heyland and Dave Morrison. Gen- eral agreement was that this de- mocratic organization meant co- operatively to ensure peace and security and take all necessary measurek to that end. Ross Stutt was, correct 4n an- swering quetion 2, "How many nations met at San Francisco and how many had ratified the Char- ter?"

Open for selection of can- didates are the offices of mayor reeve, deputy reeve and six coun- h cillors together with the slate for - the Board of Education and one member for the Hydro Conrmis- d sion. A pre-nomination canvass as to e aspirants has failed to reveal the l intentions of any of the members s currently in office. The field is e evidently wide open. In view of municipal undertakings, includ- ing the Memorial Hospital, sew- age disposal plant, a proposed new rink and a library and a nqw South Ward school, next year's business will be of an exacting nature. Generally speaking the ratepay- ers of this town have shown little interest of late years in the delib- erations of their elected represen- tatives. It is hoped and desired that a large and representative turnout will be on hand Friday evening to hear reports from re- tiring members and actively to take part in the nominations. Vot- ing will.take place December 3, if an election is required. eral organization?" was No. 3 on the list and was dealt with by guest Ralph Carr and confirmed by Lin Mitchell who read the list, from the General Assembly to the Court of International Jus- tice. Question 4, "What is the Secur- ity Council and its functions?" was dealt with by Charles Carter. Eleven members, permanent and alternating, were responsible for international peace and sesurity. Mel Staples. and Mr. Carter re- viewed the status and functions of the Economic Council, question 5, as dealing with social measures and human rights. The setup was a body of 18 members charged with studying and recommend- ing. "What is the Geneiral Assem- bly?" was question 6, andthe le- gal delineation was given by Ross Strike; a central body created to fashion policy, accept recommen- dations and attain objectives sub- ject of course to the ppwer of ve- to which was written into the doc- ame.t. Question 7, "What is the Inter- national Court of Justice?" was discussed by Morley Vanstone, Dave Morrison and Charles Car- ter and their consensus was that the duties were "ipso facto" of the implications of the title. The vote of thanks tendered by Rev. J. E. Griffith to Ted and Charlie was made in general terms embracing the objective of the Charter and that the ideals were those of Rotary itself. With- out these it was feared we should return to the holacaust of force. Major Gladstone Murray At Men's Canadian Clé 'The Men's. Canadian Club of Bowmanville and district opens its 35th season with. a dinner Thursday evening, Nov. 29, in St. Paul's Sunday School at 6:45 p.m. The speaker will be Major Glad- stone Murray, 'internationally known in radio, journalism and business. His subject will deal with "Canada in the World of To- morrow" and his background and experience give assurance that he can speak with authority. Mr. Murray was born on a farm in the Fraser Valley of British Columbia. He attended Vancou- ver schools, then graduated at McGill University, Montreal, and later from Oxford, England, as a Rhodes scholar. In 1912 he en- tered journalism as travelling correspondent for Lloyd's Great- er Britain Publishing Co., in the West Indies and South America. He served through World War 1, firat with the cavalry, King Ed- ward's Horse; next with the in- fantry, Highiland Light Brigade; finally with the Royal Flying Corps, attaining 3,200 hours of combat. He was three times wounded and won four decora- tions. In 1918 he returned to journ- alism as aeronautical correspon- dent with the London Daily Ex- press, covered the League of Na- tions sessions, 1920-22, and serv- ed as publicity director, Radio Communications Co., London. From 1923 to 1936 Mr. Murray was wtb tbe Britisd Broadcast- ing Corporation as directar of publicity, publications, political relations, cQntroilerlof programs1 ard assistant controlier of admin- istration. Called back to Canada in 1936, Major Gladstone Murray Mr. Murray served until 1942 as general manager Canadian Broad- casting Corporation and director general of broadcasting for Can- ada. Since 1943 he bas been pol- icy counsel. for the Responsible Enterprise movement. It will be recalled that the founder of Canadian Clubs, Col. Charles R. McCullough, now of Hamilton, was a Bowmanville boy and the local club is probably the oldest in Canada in towns of like size. Its survival is due in no small measure to the large num- ber of farmer members. Much in- terest is expressed in the forth- coming address of Major Murray. New members to'the club will be made welcome. Two Days' Donations To Navy League Drive Only $85.15» Reports received by The States- man reporter from Navy League Treasurer D. A. McGregor re- vealed that so far individuals and organizations had been tardy in, making voluntary donations to the Navy Week fund. Total do- nations for Monday and Tuesday were $85.15. Navy League officials are stressing the fact that they are not sending a canvasser around to bother you, uut are counting on the open-handedness of Bowman- ville citizens and organizations to make up their $1,500 total. Here is a real test of your gen- erosity. The sailors need your as- sistance and we need them and the ships they sail. Leave dona- tions at Dr. Tennant's office or McGregor's Drug Store.

This has spe- cial significance this year due ta the fact that nominations will be made for the Township School Area Board comprising eight sec- tions in Cartwright and ten sec- tions in South Darlington. It is of the utmost importance that a good representative board be elected to Ianage the school af- fairs of these ereas and this cen only be achieved by responsible action on the part of the electors. It is suggested thet each section concerned see that the most suit- able person possible from their section is nominated on nomina- tion day. It is also desirable that all electors concerned go to the poies on election-day and vote for a full slate of five candidates. From these lists of candidates, excellent boards should be secur- ed to manage the affairs of the respective areas. Soldiers Welcomed Home With Civic Reception May 24 A generai outline of plans for the official welcome home to sol- diers of Bowmanville was agreed upon at a meeting of the Civic War Activities Committee held in the town hall, Thursday. Chairman E. J. Gibbs was au- thorized publicly to announce that the ceremony would take place on May 24, 1946. In order that suitable gifts may be secured, the sum of $4,000 will be raised as a minimum. Letters will be sent to all local organizations enlisting their co- operation both for raising this money and to meet together to formulate definite plans for the occasion.f The matter was discussed in Council, Tuesday evening and it was agreed that no general can- vass for the funds wauld be un- dertaken. There wil probably be invitation subscription lists butt the amount generally will be met with donations from organiza- tions, industries and the Townt Council. Later information, ofE course, will appear in the press.•s Girl Guides Busy Planning for Bazaar t The Girl Guides of Bowman-s ville are planning a bazaar to be held in Trinity Sunday School on Dec. 8th, from 2:30 to 5:30 p.m. for the purpose of raising funds to pay for their camping equip- ment. It is Girl Guide policy to earn what funds they require rather than by public appeal. Through the years the Girl Guides of Bowmanville have con-n scientioisly tagged for the Red ' Cross, the Navy League and the P Salvation Army. As their warm effort they collected 6,000 lbs. of r fat for the making of munitions. t As a result they feel they have a earned the right to ask for your i support on their bazaar effort. p The girls are very busy work- d ing on articles for the different r booths and tickets have been dis- s tributed by the Local Associction c on a draw to be made at the ba- r zaar, a 15-1b.

On Dec. 19th, the taxpayers of Bowmanville will go to the polls to vote on the most controversial question which has been present- ed for many years, namely the liquor question. If the vote is in the affirmative, Bowmanville may be provided with, at least, a liquor store and probably a beer warehouse. There is no suggestion, at present, that a beverage room will be permitted to open. What will this mean to the townspeople; who will it. benefit; who will suffer; and do the ad- vantages outweigh the disadyan- tages? These are questions the ratepayers will have to decide before they enter the polling booths. Bowmanville has been a dry town since the Ontario Temper- ance Act was passed and this town voted for Local Option. Osh- awa and Newcastle have had no such local option and beer and liquor has been sold in Oshawa, and beer and wine in Newcastle in recent years under the Liquor Control Act. Those in favor of lifting Local Option, claim that thé situation at present is most unsatisfactory. Citizens, entitled by law to their ration of liquor and beer within Ontario must go to Oshawa or Newcastle. Due to store closing hours, the only time working men can go is Saturday afternoons. It should be noted that beer and liquor can be obtained by produc- tion of a permit and an author- ization order from the permit hol- der. The permit holder does not need to be present at time of pur- chase. Those against changing the pre- sent situation foresee that the establishments of a liquor. and beer store here will mean that alcohol will be of easier'access to more people, will mean more drinking, more crime, more drunk drivers, more drunks on our streets, money spent on alcohol instead of home services, with resultant suffering in the homes and a general lowering of the standards of behaviour and living 77th Anniversary Newcastle Church Held Last Sunday The congregation of Mill St. United Church, Newcastle, cele. brated their 77th anniversary witlh special services on Sunday, Nov. 18th. Good congregations were present at both services conduct- ed by the pastor, Rev. W. W. Patterson. Special music was presented by the choir. The mor- ning anthem was "Praise the Lord, O My Soul." Miss Dorothy Nichols, Bowmanville, sang "The Lord is My Shepherd." In the evening the choir rendered, "Praise Ye the Lord." Mr. Ro- bert Walton sang "The Lord is My Light and My Salvation." Rev. R. C. Chalmers, D.Th., As- sociate Secretary of Evangelism and Social Service for the United Church, delivered two challeng- ing messages. Before taking up his present duties he occupied the pulpit of Sherbourne St. United Church in Toronto, and of Bruns- wick St. United Church in Hali- fax. His present responsibilities give him a prominent place in the natian-wide promotion of the 'Crusade for Christ and His King- dam." In the morning Dr. Chalmers took for his text, John 15:5. '"1 am the vine ye are the branches." His subject was, "What is Chris- tianity?" Christianity he set forth as primarily a fact of history, as set over against every other faith which has at its centre a theory. Christianity is also a faith, and an experience. In the midst of the fact, the faith, the experience, is the person of Christ. Only in submission to the person of Christ by whom the church is nourished as the branches are nourished from the vine will the Christian faith become a living, fruit bear- ing fellowship. In the evening he discussed the subject, "Why Christ came?" find- ng the answer in John's Gospel: "I am come that they might have ife, and that they might have it more abundantly." Many of us who belong to the church are poor misionaries for our faith for we represent it as poor and nar- ow, as mournful and sad, when he genius of Christianity is its bundant life, its note of victory, ts rich fullness, its joy and its eace. If we would recapture the distinctive note of our faith we must again appropriate the trea- ure that is ours in Christ. Jesus ame to reveal the love of God, to make available His Salvation, to ive men a cause, a task worthy f their all, to introduce men to he riches of Eternal life. Only s we avail ourselves of these, the ull measure of his gracious giv- ng, will life for us and for the 'orld find depth of meaning. 'hat men might truly live Christ ame, and comes to us today. It is the will, and not the gift hat makes the giver.-Lessing. The heart of the giver makes he gift dear and precious.-Lu- her. within the municipality. Possibly our rapidly advancing years are tempering our thoughts. We can see reasons on both sides, but it has always been the same through the centuries in this controversy over intoxicating bev- erages. Many can enjoy a little of it without doing themselves or anyone else much harm. Others, who number far too many, over- indulge, make themselves a pub- lie nuisance and quite often, whe- ther in or out of a car, a menace. ,There are also the habituals who spend their all on alcohol, ruin- ing their homes, their health and their businesses. The citizens we think about most are the young people, the 'teen-agers and those in their twenties. They are the ones who must be protected before they come to the stage where they can- not participate in a party, or al- most any recreation, without re- sorting to alcoholic stimulants. The older people will get liquor somehow if they want it badly enough, and no amount of legis- lation will make the stuff un- popular with them. But the youngsters in many cases, won't think about using it unless it is readily available. Until the citizens of our country are so educated or have develop- ed such a strong sense of tem- perance that drinking intoxicat- ing beverages becomes no more harmful to the general good of the country than the drinking of tea or coffee, we are against mak- ing it more easily obtainable. This community has been a comparatively sober place in which to live. It has been freer of crimes committed by local peo- ple and freer of drunks than our neighboring towns. Much of this record is, we feel, directly at- tributable to the lack of a liquor or beer store in Bowmanville. Especially has it been due to the absence of a beverage room. We feel that any hardship which may be effected on those wishing to obtain alcohol is a sacrifice which is in the best interests of our town. town. Miss Kate McLaurin Speaks on India At St. Andrew's W.M.S. Annual Thankoffering meeting of St. Andrew's W.M.S. was held at the home of Mrs. F. O. McIl- veen, Nov. 20. After the open- ing prayer by President Miss F. M. Galbraith, and special an- nouncements, devotional program opened by Scripture reading by Mrs. L. T. McLaughlin and pray- er by Mrs. Alex Campbell. Mrs. Ferguson sang sweetly "Just For Today." Following the offering Mrs. Blake gave the dedicatory prayer. The President introduc- ed the speaker, Miss McLaurin, who delighted everyone with her talk on India and her wonderful experiences as a missionary there. Thanks was extended to Miss McLaurin by Mrs. D. F. Henry. Tea was served by Mrs. McIlveen, assisted by Mrs. Coyle, Mrs. Craw- ford, Mrs. Chartran and Mrs. Alex Cameron.

SOLDIER NAMES OMITTED FROM ARMISTICE LISTS The names of Glen Cole anc Sidney Rundle were omittec from the lists prepared for obser- vance of Armistice at the Ceno. taph. Both have been reported killed in action and now wiil be included as readaon that day and to appear on future occasions hon- oring the fallen. The committee in charge regret the omission but there has been no effective method taken by the community to have lists kept up to date. It has been suggested that other names also might have been overlooked and The States- man has been asked to request any other instances be reported, thus to be accorded the recogni- tion due. PO.

Durham Teams Come Second In National Judging Contest Beef Cattle. The contests were keen, the marks close. Durham County teams, coached by Agricultural Representative Ed. Summers, won two firsts in the provincial contests, Swine and Potatoes. They came close in the Dominion contests with seconds in both departments. Charles Langmaid, Solina, and Neil Moffatt, Orono, were second in the Swine class. Miss Jean Werry, Enniskillen and Ross Ash- ton, Bowmanville, came second in the Potato class, a most highly creditable position and not far from tops. In view of the wide extent and the keenness of these national contests the people of Durham County will feel that these young people and their coach, Mr. Sum- mers have again brought a mea- sure of distinction to this district in Junior Farmer work. Past re- cords have been magnificent for Durham County. The above rec- ords are not very far behind. Durham County is stili in the forefront. Teams from Western Canada almost swept the boards in the Junior Farmer National Judging Contests held at the Ontario Ag- ricultural College and at Toronto during the past week. In the six divisions embracing beef cattle, dairy cattle, swine, poultry, seed grain and potatoes, Manitoba teams won 3, British Columbia 2 and Ontario but one. The finalists drawn for these contests im judging were selected from more than 35,000 Junior Farmers across Canada and they reflect the interest shown among young people who believe farm- ing is the finest "way of life" in this great Dominion. In the past, Ontario has takena premier pos- ition as the nations finalists. Now the west has assumed the domin- ant position. The recent resuits adjudged in these 2-member teams to the number of 31, show Manitoba coming in first in Swine, Poultry and Seed Grain. British Colum- bia won first in Dairy Cattle and Potatoes.
