They are a' new departure in this province but like projects have been in exist- ence in Britain and elsewhere for many years. The entire scheme was explained to members of the Rotary Club at its Friday's lunch- eon by Charles Austerberry of Toronto, who is travelling repre- sentative of the Community Wel- fare Council of Ontario. The plan as he explaîned it. is to co-ordinate the youth and cul- tural activities of each community under one representative and re-0 sponsible Council, preferably wîth a paid director. According to Mr. Austerberry, the scheme is work- ing successfully at several points. The Speaker The speaker was introduced by Charles Carter, Sr., Chairman of Rotary Program Committee. Mr. Austerberry is a young man of experience in the youth move- ment and proved to be a speaker of force and conviction and very evidently most highly qualified as an organizer in the work that now engages his attention. In order mnost clearly to explain not only fundamentals but the actual working out of the plan, Mr. Austerberry selected several towns that have actually put it into effect. Their experience co- incides with Oakville's "Teen- Town" the story of which ap- peared in a recent issue of The Statesman. Ontario Towns Among towns mentioned were Ingersoli, St.- Mary's, Brantford, Picton, Dundas, Lindsay, Weston, Georgetown, Sutton, Port Hope and others. In fact the total of Ontario towns and communitiesj now having developed or that have started the development of the scheme number over 30.

There are variants in organization, but the central theme is one of co-ordination of facilities for re- creation and culture to reach al age groups but principally witlî the interests of youth in view. And in support of these local de- velopments the Ontario Dcpart- ment of Education lias ipproved a graduated plan of finaticial as- sistance xvhich will bce xplained later. Full support is also given by Hon. Russell Kelley. Minîster of Health. At Ingersol, the iovenient was sparked by a conmmittee that ad- vocated buying the largely unused arena. The public backed thec scheme and the building is being converted into a coxnmunity centre with a full-time supervisor to plan ail the activities with vol- unteer helpers trained as active aids. St. Marys has also carried the idea with full public support along the saine lines. Surveys have shown the extent to which special concerns are desired, such as arts and crafts, music, concerts, dances and so forth, with sports and swimming high on the agenda. A survey brings out precisely what the people want. Kindergarten In Brantford's Community Hall, another departure is that of a kindergarten class where an ex- perienced lady teacher conducts classes among pre-school children. Parents are happy to contribute a fee of 75c per week to this. At Picton, the project was facilitated through the Benson Memorial, lef t by a prominent citizen and the active aid of local service clubs hias launched this as an ideal community project. At Dundas, 3 years ago, the Chief of Police ap- pealed to the public for a fund to help young people since juven- ile delinquency was growing. The sumn of $4,000 was raised and the plan developed. Last year there was not a single case of juvenile crime. The same experience has been met in the other towns mentioned above, but the speaker selected for special mention, the town of Sutton, population 800, which al- though it is a prominent summer resort, plans to have a fuil-time director the year round. He em- phasized this case to show that even smaller places, given whole- hearted public support, can carry out the idea. Mr. Austerberry told also that he is to return shortly to Port Hope where a community project is now being organized. He also disclosed that since Oshawa recently voted against a like scheme, there has been a public reaction that will force another vote next year. Organization Turning to the practical aspects of organization, Mr. Austerberry suggested a general survey to determine local facilities and de- sires. This can be facilitated by enlisting the aid of all existing organizations, service, clubs, wo- men's organizations, churches, etc, fromwhich may be set up a Community Council, completely representative of the community. Then from this, choose an execu- tive of four charged with pro- moting the plan. This would form a nucleus of organization backed by public sentiment. Director Needed The speaker advised that it would be found necessary to success to appoint a full-time director, fully qualified, at a sal- ary commensurate with the im- portance of the project. It was simply good business to do so for a hit-and-miss administration was the first step toward failure. To meet this need the Dept. of Edu-t cation will provide a grant ofi one-third of the director's salaryt and up to $500 for an assistant ift one was found necessary. The grant would also provide twenty per cent of maintenace up to $400 with a maximum overaîl grant not to exceed $3,500 per year. Democratic Idea In conclusion the speaker stresý ed that it was laid down as Hot Cross Buns F or Easter Âvoid Waste of Bread and help feed the Devasted Gountries of the World. King st. B. Bowmanville a TRE Town of Jasper, nestling ln the heart of the Canadian Rockies, and long known Inter- nationally as the home of Jasper Park Lodge, played a very important part in research and development for the British War Office during World War IL. Patricia Lake, at the foot of Pyramid Mountain was the scene of experiments conducted in great secrecy for operation "Habba- kuk." This consisted o! the m- 'nufacture of special ice blocks containing fibre for strength and the intention was to construct an ice ship for use in principle that such community projects are to be completely free from discriminations as to race, color, creed and financial status; that the basic conception is one of complete democracy. He held that we have come to a time when projects of this character can no longer be neglected; that culture, recreation and citizenship are both local and national respon- sibilities and that each individual must consciously share in their development. As bis official pos- ition indicated, he was prepared to come at any time to Bowman- ville to help the establishment of a Community Centre. Thanks of Rotary members was expressed by Rev. J. E. Griffith who believed that we today have been groping for means of co- ordinating efforts leading to the ideals so ably expressed by the speaker. IMPORTANT FACTORS IN GROWING SOYBEANS (Experimental Farms News) The proper choice of a variety is important in connection with the production of almost any crop in Canada. This is particularly true of soybeans, wbere adapta- tion to the conditions o! a particu- Ian locality is essential if a variety is to give satisfactory resuits. Soybean varieties n ow being grown in Canada vary in matur- ity from 100 to 140 days. It is obvious that a 140-day vaniety is useless in a district best suited to a 100-day variety and vice versa. Consequently, the choice o! a suitable variety is important and only the best seed available of the chosen variety sbould be used, says F. Dimmock, Division of For- age Crops, Central Expenimental Farm, Ottawa. It is a wise practice to inocu- late the seed with the proper cul- ture each year no matter whether the land to be used has grown soybeans before or not. Inocula- tion is a formn of inturance that has proved profitable. Then there are certain cultural practices that are important. Spring preparation of the soul should be thorough. Soybeans are planted fairly late, and an oppor- tune time to combat weeds is be- fore seeding is done. It would be better to delay seeding a little ra- ther than plant in poorly prepar- ed land. Time of seeding is also important and if the land is ready should be done around the middle of May. It is a common practice to seed soybeans just before the corn is planted. A light stroke wlth the harrow two or three times after the beans are up and before they are six inches high will do wonders in controlling weeds. This should be followed by row cultivation. Leave the surface level and do not ridge up the rows, as this may interfere with harvesting opera- tions. Row planting has been gener- ally accepted as better than close drilling. Rows 30 inches apart, wîth the plants averaging 1 to 2 inches apart in the rows is about the right spacing. If a farmer is undecided as to what variety to choose for his locality, or if he desires more de- tailed information on the culture of soybeans, he should without delay consult the Agricultural Representative or get in touch with the nearest E.xperimental Farm. the sea lanes of the Atlantic from which planes could operate against submarines.

Wartmé Housing Suggests a Survey A represeritative of Wartime Housing Limited, Clare G. Hoose, Toronto, was in town last week personally to learn if this Crown Corporation could be of assistance in helping out the housing short- age in Bowmanville. When inter- viewed, he made it clear that the scheme was for returned soldiers only and that Wartime Housing was prepared to step in and build houses strictly on a rentai basis, providing that sufficient interept was shown to warrant going ahead. In order to determine the extent of the need or the demand, it would first be necessary to en- list local authority and then War- time Housing would undertake a survey. The scheme is one in which the town would supply the lots and Wartime Housing would erect the houses on a 15-year agreement. Three types of homes can be sel- ected, the rentals ranging from $22 to $30 per month, the average cost in the neighborhood of $4,000. At the end of the l5-year term, Wartime Housing would turn back the units to the town at an average of $1,000 each. These houses are planned with no base- ments and according to informa- tion given can be heated with about 31/ tons of coal yearly. Mr. Hoose has lately been in Port Hope where both the coun- cil and Chamber of Commerce have taken steps fully to explore the project. At that point a reg- istry has been opened where re- turned men can get information in regard to the plan and signify if they would be willing to rent a house once completed. The mat- ter will be brought to a more de- finite head at the next meeting of the Port Hope council. If the idea is to be entertained in Bow- manville, it is expected some ref- erence will be made to it at the May council meeting. Survivors and others marooned in isolated spots during the war were "bombed" with food and supplies in containers made of a kraft paper reinforced with sisal rope. These containers bent but didn't break when dropped from planes, whereas wooden boxes splintered and broke. Our guess is that there is some mighty prac- tical civilian uses wrapped up in this fact! 0 0 Q THE CANADIAN STATESMAN, BOWMANVILLE, ONTARIO THURSDAY, APRIL 18th. 1946, Get it from S. R.
