The Back Shop Last week we concluded by in-1 timating that there are type "lice" ir every printing office in the1 cduntry. We owe you an explan-( ation.it It has always been a favourite printer's sport to introduce a new "devil" or apprentice to the trade by playing jokes on him. He would be sent out to buy a left hand monkey wrench, a can of stripe paint or some other article and loud and long would be the1 laughter when he returned empty handed. Type "lice" falls into the same category. Type must be washed after it has been run through the press because it is covered with ink, which, if allowed to dry, would ender the type useless for further printing. In the old days it was washed with a mixture of lye and water and, as each letter was set separately in a line the water soaked down into the cre- vices between the type and re- mained there for days. Casually, a pressman or a com- positor wouId start talking about type lice and sooner or later the innocent apprentice would be- come curious and ask what they were and where they co'ud be found. He would be taken over to a page to watch the joker sep- arate two lines of type searching for "lice." Always the "devil" would stand too far away and the "lice" are so small that one must get as close as possible to see them. When he finally was per- suaded to bend over within an inch or twa of the type, the uine in the joker's hand would be slapped abruptly against the next one and the devil's face wauld be splattered with a mixture of wa- ter and printer's ink that took days to wear off. Sounds silly, doesn't it, but printers are very peculiar people and the joke has been good for over half a century they tell me. As one of our lads says: "You don't have to be crazy to be a printer, but it sure helps." men Wade to Waists in Icy Water Searching for Hampton Youngster A tragedy that prostrated the parents and brought sorrow to the entire community occurred at Hampton, shortly after noon, on Tuesday, when Helen Marilyn Dewell was drowned in the creek that flows from the millpond back of homes on the west side of the main street. The small and love- ly child was the only daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Percy Dewell who were both born in the Solina dis- trict. Mrs. Dewell was the form- er Evelyn Tink, daughter of the late Herbert and Mrs. Tink. Lit- tle Marilyn woud have been 4 years of age in February. Tuesday dawned bright and cold and Marilyn asked to visit a close neighbor while the sun was shining brightly. She made the visit and warmly clad, proceeded hoe~t~-:5 ..-he se a home at 11:55 a.m. When she had I not arrived at 12:15, the mother became anxious and went out to search for her. Her mittens were found beside the creek which was unfrozen in places. Telephone calls brought many from Solina, Hampton and Bowmanville in the search. The body was found at 3 p.m., some 75 feet south of the place she presumably fell into the wa- ter, by Jack McNab. It was dis- closed that never before had she played near the creek and it is assumed that another child join- ed her on her way home and both went to see the water flowing in the icy stream. The parents, now childless, have the very deepest sympathy from the community in which both are sc highly popular. Funeral ser- vices will be hed from the home on Friday. ____ Townis Given First Chance On Internment Camp Ruts The buildings at the Boys' Training School, erected by the 'ederal government to house the Veterans' Guard when the Intern- ment Camp was in op'eration, are now up for sale as rapidly as they are turned over by the War Assets Corporation. According to let- ters recently exchanged with Ot- tawa, each building, entire with heating pipes and radiators, etc., will be sold at 8 ter cent of origin- al cost. The first:3'u'nits, ranging n cost from $4,500 to $16,000 were offered the Town of Bowmanville, Dec. 13, and Council is continuing disgussion of the proposition. The $4'00 building was used as offi- cers' quarters. The sale price is $360. The story in this case dates back to the time The Statesman opened a campaign to restore the Boys' Training School to its orig- inal use. Charles E. Stephenson, M.P., at once took up the matter with government departments and received fine co-operation. When Bowmanville wanted a building for the new Memorial Park, he negotiated for the tem- porary buildings and got action as disc1'hsed in the following let- ters: Dec. 13, 1945 Dept. of Reconstruction: To, C. E. Stephenson, M.P. Re Bowmanville Prison Camp The Dept. of National Defence advise the following buildings now surplus requirements. The town of Bowmanville may pur- chase these at 8 per cent of orig- inal cost and transfer can be ef- fected upon receipt of offer. Buildings Orig. Cost Officers' quarters $4,500 "H" building 16,000 "I" building 16,000 You will realize requests for buildings for emergency housing are receiving No. 1 priority. W. D. Cabell for Director General, Real Estate Second letter from same office: Jan. 7, 1946 C. E. Stephenson, M.P. On Dec. 13 you were informed that certain buildings of the Bow- manville Prison Camp could be made available to the town of Powmanville for projected Mem- r ial Park. Price was quoted on ree buildings at 8 per cent of ures. Kindly have the town of Bow- Wianville advise this office if it desires to accept our offer . . etc." There the matter stands at the moment. It was discussed infor- mally at the recent council meet- ing and a letter with contents un- disclosed, was subsequently dis- patched to Ottawa by Mayor C. G. Morris. It has been learned that some farmers and returned men anx- ioius to get part of this standing accommodation, have sought to place offers. The above facts are published for general information. The feeling is that Mr. Stephen- son has successfully brought mat- ters to a point where he can go no further in the matter save to continue as intermediary between local interests and government departments. Large Donations Received For New Hospital Building Fund Donations to the Bowmanville Memorial Hospital Builing Fund from private donors, have now reached a total of $19,925. Orig- inally launched in 1942 with dona- tions of $5,000 each from the late George W. McLaughlin, Oshawa, and Mrs. Sarah Jane Williams, Toronto, many residents and ex- residents, have followed with un- solicîted gifts for tins worthy cause.dIncluded in the building fund is $3,500, the gift of Mrs. George W. McLaughlin, Oshawa, for modern X-ray equipment for the new structure. A large proportion of the checks received have come direct to the hands of the editor of The States- man to be turned over to the trus- tees. But in some cases the don- ors have requested their names be withheld from publication. They are indicated in the lists here- with. Three particuharly are lo- cal farmers and businessmen.

Harry Philp was elected chairman and along with Wallace Marlow, Gordon Strong, Harold Larmer and Mrs. Jean E. Bowles was duly sworn in by William Beacock. Inspector T. R. McEw- en was on hand to give the bene- fit of his experience with other larger units of administration. The immediate needs of te various schools were considered and it was decided ta carry on generalhy witir present procedure for tie balance of the sciool year. Matters of poicy were discussed --how the co-operation,tmade pos- sible by the larger unit, can best be turned to the advantage of Cartwright children. These in- cluded the supply of books and the addition of music and other subjects; improvement of sanitary conditions, transportation, t he beautifying of schoolgrounds and so on. A survey of ail tire scirools will be made wth these purposes in view. The Board feels that there is a real job to be done-a job in the doing of which there will be no roomI for petty or sectional jeal- ousies-but rather onewhich will need the co-operation and good- will of all the citizens of Cart- wright. The challenge lies in the fact that here is offeredthe op- 0portunity ta raise tire standard ai rural education and more nearly approach the advantages enjoyed by urban centres.

Large Change in Personnel Meeting of Counties Counil There are 12 new faces in the 1 1946 Northumberland and Dur-r ham Counties Council which op- ened its January session Tuesday evening at Cobourg when Reeve Henry Foulds, Reeve of Campbell- ford, was elected warden.

James, chair- nan of the Membership commit- ee. The four new members are Ar- hur Hearst, Goodyear, Ralph Bar- att, Bank of Montreal, Lew Dew- .11, Goodyear, and Don Mason, Boys' Training School. President Carter explained the code of eth- .cs of the club after S. R. James had introduced the new members. 'ail Twister Earl Riddolls then presented them with their Lions Club pins. They were then offi- :ially welcomed by the club. One of the highlights of the neeting was the presentation of 10-year chevron pins to 12 of the original members. They includ- .d W. J. Bagnell, Dr. W. H. Birks, J. J. Brown, Ted Chant, E. W. Crawford, E. V. Hoar, S. R. James, D. A. McGregor, James Marr, A. J. Smith, E. L. Oliver and C. A. Bartlett. A. M. Thompson made he presentation. Ray Dilling, Chairman of the Health and Welfare Committee, ntroduced E. J. O'Brien of the Tut erculosis Association who stat- ed in his introductory remarks that he was very proud of the ocal club for raising over $1,500 in their T.B. seal campaign. He stated that this money would be used to X-ray over 12,000 people in Bowmanville and area. Out of this number he expected at least 15 to show postive T.B. signs and a large number of people to show signs of heart disease and other chest and lung ailments. By taking such an enthusiastic in- terest in the campaign the Lions Club has helped to make better citizens by helping to stop the spread of T.B. Stan Darling, Peterboro, Depu- ty District Governor of the Lions Club, was the chief speaker of the evening. His topic was Lion- ism. He spoke of the good work that the Lions clubs had achieved all over the world in community betterment and the exchange of knowledge between members. They have done a great deal this past year in helping the re-estab- lishment of troops as well as their outstanding effort during the war. A lot can be done by service clubs, the speaker stated, in cur- tailing the crime wave that is now sweeping Canada. He brought out the tremendous cost of crime to the taxpayer and that it was increasing at a maddening rate in recent years. He suggested the use of the Borstal system as used in Great Britain to help curb the ,present outbreak of crime.
