'M CMAY, JAN. 24th, 1940 THE CANADIAN STATESMAN, BOWMANVILLE, ONTARIO PAGE THEEM Sabbath Sohool Convention Reports Record Attendance _____________0 With an attendance surpassing that of former years the annual Sabbath School Convention of Darlington Township and town of Bowxnanville, was held àt Hamp- ton United Church on Jan. 17th. Under the presidency of Mr. E. R. Taylor over 175 delegates sought to ircrease their, knowledge of Sunda>- School work through the discussions and addresses of the afteà,on and evening sessions. Mable Grove Young. People op- ened the convention with an in- :spiring worship service presented by Mildred' Snowden, Stanley Snowden and Ross Metcalf. President Taylor in his words ,of welcome brought some very helpful thoughts and then intro- duced Rev. E. R. McLean of the Ontario Religious Education Coun- ,cil, Toronto, whose address "What can we do as a township organîz- ation" was enlightening. Prac- -tical suggestions included the holding of an annual* training school for the training of leaders and teachers. Also annually could be held a departmental conference or get-together comprising a per- lod of worship and group forma- tions of the various departments of the school to discuss the prob- lems that arise. Some schools have conducted community sur- veys to establish the number of boys and girls attending Sunday «School, 25 per cent of the children -of one particular township had neyer been to Sunday School. Solina's contribution to the pro- .gram was the beautiful vocal solo "The Garden of Prayer" reindered by Pearl Leach. Secretary-Treasurer's report was given by Pearl Leach followed by an unaninious vote to organize as a Darlington and Clarke Town- ship Convention. The second address of the after- noon "How can we stem the tide of delinquency?" was ably pre- sented by Rev. A. E. Cresswell of Tyrone Circuit. Concern was ex- pressed in this address regarding the future of the boys and girls. How can they be trained? and a note of caution reminded the aud- ience that young people can take the right road or the wrong road. Ross and Marie Ashton of En- niskillen sang a delightful duet prior to Dr. W. P. Fletcher's round table discussion. Many problems were discussed pertaining to Sun- day School work. Committees were appointed and announce- ments brought the afternoon ses- sion to a close. A sumptuous sup- per was served by the ladies of Hampton. Worship, under the leadership of Helen Pritchard and Arline Northciitt with Helen Nelles as accompanist, of Trînity Y.P.U., Bowmanville, opened the evening session. Reports of resolutions committee were given and the nominating committee brought in the slate of officers for 1946: Past President, Wilfrid Carruthers, of Bowmanville; president, E. R. Taylor, Eldad; vice-president, M. H.

E. R. McLean conducted the installation service and Mr. Wil- frid Carruthers of St. Paul's, Bow- manville, was soloist. "The Crusade for Christ and His Kingdom" brought challeng- ing remarks by Rev. S. Littlewood of Orono, who stressed the fact that evangelism begins within the person where should be felt the need of re-dedication. Teachers should be efficient and' continue improving knowledge and tech- nique. The closing address on "Evan- gelism" was given by Rev. E. R. McLean. Evangelism in its orig- inal meaning is "brînging a good message to the people"-or 'other- wise is exactly the same as "gos- pel." In evangelizing people the story of good news is told and they are drawn out and make a response of dedication and service to Christ. The gospel of Christ is universal for all ages. As a teach- er or parent, the objective is to present the main truth of the gos- pel to boys and girls and be an evangelist for Jesus Christ. Rev. Walter Rackham of Hamp- ton brought a successful conven- tion to a close with prayer and benediction. Ontario Hydro Making Good Headway In Ontario Rural Areas As the years go on the gap be- tween urban and rural life so far as comfort and convenience is concerned is gradually being clos- ed. Now that labor and material are once more available the On- tario Hydro Commission is mak- ing a good start on its five-year rural electrification plan, for so long merely a topic of conversa- tion. "During the past year we have built approximately 1,000 miles of new rural lines and more than 13,000 new rural services have been installed, including some 6,500 farm homes and build- ings," stated Mr. W. Ross Strike, Ontario Hydro Commissioner. Broadly speaking, the five-year plan has been designed to make Hydro Power more accessible to the rural population for both do- mestic and agricultural purposes. The magnitude of the task can be appreciated when it is realized that the construction of more than 7;000 additional miles of rur- al line is involved. When com- plete this will place Hydro ser- vice at the disposal of 58,000 new rural consumers, and of this num- ber 32,000 will be farmers. In terms of cost the rural elec- trification program calîs for a Combined total outlay by the commission, the govefnment and the rural consumers of more than $60 million. It is estimated that the Hydro Commission will spend $22 million. of which 50 per cent or upward of $11 million will be provided by the Ontario gov- ernment in form of a grant-mn-aid. This is only the beginning. Once the electricity is available it is es- timated that rural consumers, both new and existing, will spend close to $40 million on wiring their homes and farms and in the purchase of the nece.bsary electri- cal appliances and farmn equip- ment. Recent surveys indicate that this will involve installation of 18,800 electric ranges, 58,500 POTATOES WITH RING ROT MUST BE DISPOSED 0F The provincial Department of Agriculture has recently empha- sized its must order in respect of potatoes infected wîth ring rot. Growers whose crops were infect- ed in 1945 must dispose of their entire stocks by Jan. 31, 1946, or become subject to regulations of the Plant Disease Act. Action is taken to prevent fur- ther spread of this infectious anci destructive disease which has ob- tained a foothold in 16 different areas of Ontario. It has been shown that areas infected in 1944 were freed of this menace by dis- posal as indicated above. This information is given at this time since Durham County is an important potato growing district although no information is at hand whether the disease has taken a foothold locally. Stocks from in- fected areas can be sold as table potatoes readily on the ma.rket. Two cases in other parts of On- tario were recently taken to court and fines and costs assessed be- sides provision for imniediately carrying out the provisions of the Act. White Cane Week For The Blind January 20 to 26 Since the early days of man on earth, blindness through accident or iilness has been a misfortune. With the advent of congested and fast moving motor traffic in our modern cities and towns the pro- blems of the blind pedestrian, es- pecially when without an escort, have been multiplied. Gradually during the past thirty years the movement originating in Wales has spread throughout parts of Europe and the North American continent to promote the use of the white cane as a symbol of blindness. Usually the cane is al white, or sometimes white with a red or black tip. When used by a blind person it becomes a silent appeal for friendly assistance in crossing a busy street or highway, or in re- gaining a sense of direction which has been temporarily lost by rea- son of snow or other change, cov- ering or disturbing familiar land- marks. The white cane also has a spe- cial significance for the motorist. To him, it is a signal that the user is blind and that any courtesy shown will relieve anxiety and menit gratitude. If every pedestrian and motor- ist enjoying the blessings of sight would pause for a moment to realize the full effect of timely and friendly aid or courtesy to the blind citizen carrying his white cane on our busy street, there can be no doubt but that prompt recognition of the white cane symbol and heartfelt satis- faction by both the blind and their sighted friends would result. Will your newspaper and your readers co-operate to make the streets of your community safer and better for each blind fellow citizen who carnies the white cane. The use of the white cane by the blind is sponsored by The Inter-Provincial Council of the -Blind and The Canadian National Institute for the Blind. Shortage of Ministers In United Churches With the shortage of Ministers stili acute in the United Church of Canada dloser contacts are be- ing established with candidates -inç4 prospective candidates for the Mi-listry. During the Christmas vacation a School for Life Service was held at Queen's Theological College, Kingston attended for a we-akend by over 100 members and leaders of Young People's So- cieties of the ]Uay of Quinte and Montreal and Ottawa Conferen- ces who were addressed by pro- fessors and student delegates of the three Theological Colleges at Mointreal, Queen's, Kingston, and Eminanuel, Toronto, and the Prin- cipal of the United Church Train- ing Schol for Women, Toronto. Prospective full time service jobs f -r men and women were outlined and courses, costs and available help discussed, culminating in in- divîdual counselling by the staff of those înterested in the Minis- try or other service work. Those contacted will be followed up. Sydney Presbytery, N.S., of the Maritime Conference of the Un- ited Church held a special Pres- bytery meeting during the college vacation period and called togeth- er *ts 13 ministerial student can- didates to extend to them good wvishes and go over any problems that might be theirs. The Chaplains' Hour a n d Schools of Religion conducted in England and the continent have been fruitful in contacting many prospective candidates for the lVinistry who have or will enter colleges in Canada for training.
