BUReAU> e ranabn tale "Durham County's Creat Family Journal" VOLUME 92 BOWMANVILLE, ONT., THURSDAY, MAY 16, 1946 FIRST SECTION NUMBE R 20 >HAMBER OF COMMERCE ALL SETFORTUESOAY Normal Army Preparedness Explained by Hon. D. Abbott At Men's Canadian Club 6 The prudent nation today is one that keeps clearly in mind the lessons of the past 30 years and out of those lessons shapes a post war policy of military prepared- ness, which, definitely divorced from any thought of aggression, nevertheless offers a guarantee in several directions wholly con- cerned with maintaining peace in the world. This was the central thought for Canadians presented to a Bowmanville and 'district au- dience, by Hon. Douglas Charles Abbott, K.C., D.C.L., Minister of National Defence in the Federal government. Mr. Abbott spoke as the guest of the Men's Canadian Club. It was the final meeting of the season and the annual "Ladies' Night." The Speaker Mr. Abbott was introduced by W. F. Rickard, a former colleague in the House. Born in Lennox- ville, Que., Mr. Abbott was edu- cated at Bishop's College and Mc- Gill University, where he gradu- ated in law. He served in World War 1, with the 7th McGill Siege Battery, 1916, and later with the Royal Air Force. He became member for Westmount, Mon- treal, in 1940, was re-elected in 1945. His striking talents elevat- ed him to parliamentary assistant to the Minister of Finance, later to National Defence, finally suc- ceeding General MacNaughton as full-time Minister in the dual- portfolio of that office. Remark- ably youthful in appearance, Mr. Abbott ranks very high as a front bencher in the House. Demobilization Mr. Abbott dealt first with de- mobilization since V-J Day. Re- cent figures are that 311,000, all ranks, have been brought back from overseas and a total of 600,- 000 discharged into civil life since Berlin fell. There remain ap- proximately 35,000 in various ac- tive service duties today. By October it is expected demobil- ization will be complete. At the same time repatriation of soldiers' dependents has been proceeding, subject only to the policy of servicemen first. Since August, 1944, some 22,000 wives and children have reached Can- adian homes. There remain some 25,000 and these. too will all be in Canada by the end of this year according to present plans. The Future Looking to the future, Mr. Ab- bott suggested the need for a con- siderable change in national thinking , due to revolutionary changes in modern warfare. He pointed out that in two great wars during the past 30 years, Cana- dians were not called upon to de- fend their national shores. Geo- graphy, he said, had made im- possible any successful attack since long lines of communica- tion could not be mintained. But it was evident to almost every- one today that this barrier had fallen with the advance of mo- dern means of offence. Present Factors High speed, high altitude, long range planes, bearing immensely destructive explosives coming ov- (Continued on Page Eight) Five Year Sentence Given to Transient At Police Court Five years in Kingston Peniten- tiary was the sentence imposed Tuesday on a transient who was charged with breaking, entering and theft. Magistrate Gee who presided in Bowmanville Police Court, was presented with evi- dence that several cottages in the Caesarea district had been enter- ed and the goods stolen were link- ed directly with the culprit who had several aliases. Faced with a long record of previous convictions as read by Sthe cadi, the term imposed was accepted by the acctised with a nonchalance acquired from long experience. He will be escorted to Kingston immediately to be- gin a further course in industry 1md good conduct. 4< Provincial Constable W. R. Pollard spent considerable time in estigafing the break-ins which 'urred in January, February and April and finally caught the culprit on a district farm. All the goods were recovered includ- ing some loot taken from a Tor- onto church. The constable was commended for his good work. The only other case in court wvas that of a local boy, name not dis- closed, who drew a sentence of four months in Guelph for mmnor thefts. The evidence was sub- mitted by Chief of Police Sidney Venton who made the arrest and recovered the property taken. Public Invited To Cadet Inspection This Afternoon The public will be welcome at the High School Cadet In- spection today at 2:00 p.m. There will be a Girls' Precis- ion Squad in charge of Miss Ruth Hutchinson. Signalling, boys' and girls' P.T. displays, tumbling, a few group games, artificial respiration display and finally the route march. Soldiers' Day Fund Nearing Objective For May 24th Gifts With only one week to go, the Soldiers' Day Fund is short $652 of the final minimum objective of $4,000, originally planned. It should be stated again that this amount is required for gifts to be presented to all the men and wo- men from Bowmanville who serv- ed in the active forces in the late war. May 24 has been set aside as an all-out civic holiday, for a "Wel- come Home" to all who served. The generosity of local organiza- tions and many local citizens al- ready has resulted in total cash subscriptions of $3,348.08. Last week these further amounts have been received: Ladies' Legion ----------$ 43.78 R. M. Hollingshead Co. - 50.00 W. R. Strike--------------25.00 Frank Jamieson-----------10.00 W. L. Paterson------------5.00 Gus Annis----------------5.00 Fred Moore - -- - 2.00 Dr. W. P. Fletcher----------2.00 C. J. Brown ------ 1.00 The War and Civic Committee wish to express sincere thanks for these contributions, which, they believe will inspire others to leave their gifts at the receiving office, McGregor's Drug Store. Cartwright Schools Require More Teachers Music Supervisor - Cartwright Area school board met in the hall at Blackstock, on May 8th, with a full attendance. The secretary reported good progress being made in essential repairs to schools. Toilet facil- ities have been improved, grounds levelled, wells examined, etc. Bet- ter lighting will be installed in those schools where the lighting is poor. More playground equip- ment in the way of volley balls, footballs, baseballs, bats, et., have been purchased so that pupils may enjoy wholesome games in leisure periods. Unfortunately Mr. Menagh will not be able to resume his duties as music supervisor, so the board has advertised for a supervisor together with teachers to fill the vacancies in the area for the com- ing year. There was a very good response to the questionnaire sent out and board members are grateful to those parents sufficiently inter- ested in the education of their children to send in replies. Too often in the past this interest has been lacking both in the subject matter taught and the conditions under which both teacher and pu- pils work. It is a sad commentary that both here and in the United States so much of our education had to be taken over by the army, the navy, the air force and indeed by industry. Let us hope that here as in England there will be as much interest in discussing edu- cation as in waging war. Our communities will be efficient due to splendid technical and voca- tional education, they will endure and will be good places in which to live owing to the social and political changes now taking place. But will the quality of our civilization be good? Not, I fear unless our sense of values, of what is first-rate and what cheap is greatly improved. Cheap mov- ies soap operas and the like are all contributing to the lowering of our standards. Lt is.only by con- stant living wvith the best things in the world-the best pictures, the best books, the best buildings, the best political and social or- ders and the best human beings that we schlevoe high standards of living and develop the character to live up to those standards. Much has been said of building a new 'order'. Let us not fail to develop by proper education, peo- ple fit to live in that 'order.' The Bicycle Safety Club found its usual quarters at the Town Hall taken up by the tag day for the blind and although President John Cattran convened a short meeting, the next regular report is postponed to next week. Knights of Columbus Hold "Welcome Home" For Returned Soldiers Rev. S. J. Coffey, Parish Priest of St. Joseph's Church, Bowman- ville, and Captain in uniform among district service Chaplains in the late war, was a central figure in the immense rally held in Oshawa last week to honour and welcome home veterans who fought throughout World War II. The following report of the oc- casion has been contributed by an outside correspondent present at the gathering. Although only 450 invitations were sent out, almost 1,200 people crowded into the Ontario County Flying Club recreation hall, Tues- day evening, to take part in the Roman Catholic Social and Wel- come Home Reception held under the auspices of the Oshawa branch of the Knights of Columbus. The reception was held to give the returned veterans of World War II an opportunity to renew old friendships with their parish priests and with their fellow par- ishioners. The returning warriors were guests of honor of the eight Catholic associate parish organ- izations of Southern Ontario County consisting of St. Gregory's, Holy Cross, and St. George's Uk- rainian, Oshawa; St. John the Evangelist, Whitby; St. Francis de Sales, Pickering; Sacred, Heart of Jesus, Uxbridge; Immaculate Con- ception, Port Perry, and St. Jos- eph's, Bowmanville. Col. The Rev. Father Cheerier, O.B.E., St. Theresa's Church, To- ronto, second in command of the army chaplains overseas, person- ally greeted each veteran. He was assisted by FIL Rev. W. J. Murphy and Capt. Rev. S. J. Coffey, dis- trict service chaplains. During the early part of the evening the service men and wo- men and their friends were enter- tained by Percy David and his company of tap, acrobatic and ballet dancers, singers, accordian- ists, and magician. This enter- tainment was followed by the formal reception and presentation of rosaries, after which the bal- ance of the evening was spent in dancing to the music of Boyd Valleau's orchestra. The evening came to an end with the serving of a buffet lunch to all present by the women's organ- ization. The Presentations The presentation ceremony itself was a work of sheer art. The huge platform was decorated with large Union Jacks and Canadian Ensigns flanked around the sides and backs of the stage. Representatives of the three armed services and the priests (Continued on Page Seven) The Back Shop Your Back Shop reporter is now in the vehicle owner class which has decreased the time lost between office and house by at least ten minutes a day without, to any great extent, increasing the general overhead. We have had the vehicle on order at Mike Os,- borne's for' several months and finally it arrived, a beau- tiful, brand new C.C.M. bi- cycle all decked out in mar- oon coloring with light grey fenders and matching acces- sories as they say in the wed- dings. It really is the handiest item you can picture. Being equipped -at small extra cost-with a strong, durable and dependable basket carrier which rests over the front wheel, it can and is be- ing adapted as a vehicle for two. A cushion is placed in the bas- ket, then the youngster whose feet protrude out in front away from any danger of catching in the spokes is set in and away we go. He loves it and, believe me, the prestige of the maie side of the house has increased immea- surably since we acquired the two wheeled time-saver. Lt is amazing the improve- ments which have been made in bicycles since the early days. Now, it is not necessary to wear pant clips because- again for a slight extra charge -a guard can be placed over the sprocket. A modern stand. which tucks away when not in us can also be acquired. A light is somewhat difficult to obtain at the present time, but they certainly add to the ap- pearance and make night driving easier and safer. A reflector is now standard equipment and the machine, when fully equipped, really makes a smart looking outfit. Think of the advantages of the bicycle over the car. We who are becoming too girthy, revive our tummy muscles, our leg muscles and take away the fat from around the heart. We become healthier. Once the bike has been paid for (Continued on Page Ten) Industry Accepts the Blind Où Basis of Proven Ment Lions Club Meeting Told Speaking in his capacity as Placement Officer, Canadian Na- tional Institute of the Blind, Percy Stollery, Toronto, told the Bow- manville Lions Club, Monday ev- ening that industry was coming to the view that blindness was no longer a handicap in many fields of industrial production but was in fact, as practically demonstrat- ed, a factor that has improved morale among workmen not so handicapped and has upped pro- duction in many cases in amaz- ing degree. The speaker indeed deprecated the . term "handicap" as a reference generally applied to the blind. His address which brought out many highlights was listened to with absorbed atten- tion. The Speaker Lou Dewell introduced Mr. Stol- lery. Born at Indian Head, Sask., and educated in Vancouver and Victoria, Mr. Stollery then travel- led extensively in Europe and Asia prior to pursuing a scientific education in Australia. He lost the sight of both eyes due to an explosion while conducting ex- periments. Back in Toronto he graduated in physio-electro-ther- apy and -practised for some time prior to being called to his pres- ent post with the Institute. For the past eight years he has been with its employment department. No Handicap Mr. Stollery demonstrated that blindness held no handicaps for a well ordered mind. His address, unhampered by the use of notes, followed through with amazing sequence the points he wished to present and he explained them in detail as he went along. His first conception was an examination of both the theoretical and practical meaning of the term "business" which embraced all industry. He held that its basic concept could be summed up in one word, "ser- vice." And in this connection he developed his theme that the sightless, where employed, had n'ieasured up in most notable de- Two More War Brides Welcomed to District Passenger lists of trans-Atlantic steamships bringing home Cana- dian soldiers and overseas brides are always looked forward to in The Statesman office with much interest. These lists are received each week from Military District No. 3, Kingston. They contain only the names of those within the district and none from M.D. 2, Toronto. The latest list received names the passengers arriving on S.S. Letitia, docking in 'Halifax, May 21. It contains the names of only two war brides destined for this district. Dorothy J., wife of L/Cpl. T. J. DeMille, home address R.R. 3, Burketon. Ena Winnifred, wife of Tpr. H. W. Hardy, with daughter Shirley A., who will be received by Mr. and Mrs. W. J. Malley, Ponty- pool. It is a pleasure to express the wish of the entire community that these new citizens will find Canada and Durham County -all that they hopefully expect. Dog Pays Penalty For Killing Chickens Ready for Market Caught in the act, pronounced guilty without aid of formal legal counsel, a dog owned by a Lib- erty St. resident, was shot by Chief of Police Sidney Venton, some time during the weekend. Evidence was conclusive that the culprit had wantonly destroyed some 45 chickens of a neighbor. This brings into view a complaint placed before Town Council at its recent meeting at which the owner of the chickens told of dogs running at large and bent on mis- chief. Cecil Alldread, Liberty St. poul- try raiser, told the council mem- bers his poultry fiock had been decimated on former occasions by raiding canines. He sought in- formation on what council was prepared to do in the matter. Council decided to look into an old by-law and determine what might be legally done. Meantime notice was given that all dogs must be registered by way of a tax and tag. Almost the moment the notice appeared in the press this lone dog took occasion to add a foot- note to Mr. Alldread's complaint by killing 45 of his milk-fed chickens almost ready for market. Caught and confined, the dog's owner Îvas notified and his con- sent was given to the Chief of Police to shoot him. It is believed compensation will be paid for the chickens. gree. It was the central concern of the Institute both in training and placements. Placements Most interesting was his analy- sis of the approach worked out by the Institute's placement de- partment as a basis for interviews with management, ranging from high executives down to foremen of departments, and sometimes embracing a line of penetration calculated to get by a formidable battery of female private secre- taries. The matter was one ap- parently founded ,upon practical psychology which evolved into high class salesmanship, the sell- ing oJ the idea that the blind, properly trained, have an impor- tant place in business and society. Production Records Dealing with actual cases of blind people employed in indus- try, Mr. Stollery told of several instances where, working along- side people of excellent vision on bench, jig and press work, the records of production of the blind broke all ceilings established and the quality was of the very high- est standards. Before him, the speaker had an array of finished gadgets to prove his case and with marvelous dexterity he as- sembled them from the finished pieces. All these things were increa- singly being brought to the notice of management. Another factor explained by Mr. Stollery was the original attitude found among foremen that employment of the blind would add to perplexities already experienced in labor re- lations. But it was found' that the blind, taking their places with such cheerfulness and efficiency beside those with normal vision, had actually lifted the general xiorale of the factory. And mor- ale, he pointed out, was a contag- ious thing. Both within and with- out the factory, blind people ex- emplified true .citizenship. Dea'ing with the four basic stan- (Continued on Page Seven) St. John's Observe Service for, Youth The regular Sunday School held in the afternoon at St. John's An- glican Church has been set aside to accommodate special morning services, Sunday, May 19. The occasion is known as Youth Sun- day and it will be observed throughout the entire British Commonwealth of Nations. Rev. J. dePencier Wright will deliver the sermon which will be of a nature emphasizing the res- ponsibility of parents to children. With that in view it is expected that parents will accompany chil- dren for the services which will include specially arranged music. The background of Youth Sun- day for the Empire is a desire to infuse among young people a greater appreciation of Christian- ity as the vital force to be relied upon in maintaining peace in the world. It is also an appreciation of the sacrifice made by youth who lost their lives in the fight for freedom. In the afternoon, as already an- nounced, Rev. Wright will deliv- er the sermon at Bowmanville cemetery in the Legion services honoring the fallen. These ser- vices will begin at 3 p.m. and the entire community is invited to take part in the solemn observ- ances which include the unveil- ing of the Legion Memorial Cross. Local Landscaping Brightens Premises The rockery bordering the ex- cellent lawn of St. John's Angli- can Church and the curb on Div- ision St. at Poole's Bakery, have been greatly improved at the hands of landscape artists during the past week. They are worthy of mention for they add greatly to the general appearance of the streets upon which they front. It is hoped they will also inspire emulation in, other quarters be- fore tourists and outside visitors come along during the summer. According to information pick- ed up by our roving reporter, the artistry at St. John's was inspir- ed through suggestions offered by Veteran Oliver Roberts, local landscape architect for the C.P.R., and consultant to citizens wishing expert advice on grass, flowers and shrubs. At any rate the work- men employed voluntarily carried out the pleasing scheme at the rockery. The work on Division street for which authority was granted by council to the owner of the block, Gus Annis, has entailed construc- tion of a new concrete curb, to- gether with concrete steps lead- ing up to Union Hall. It has much improved parking facilities. More Soldiers' Names Added to List of Those To Be Honored May 24 The public response to the de- sire to have the Soldiers' Roll of Honor List, as complete as pos- sible by May 24, has been very gratifying according to Reeve Sid Little, chairman, War and Civic Activities Committee. But he sug- gests that there may be occasion for other additions and correc- tions and wishes the following statement to be repeated. The committee wishes to have an entirely accurate list of all men and women who enlisted for active service, while bona fide residents within the corporate li- mits of the Town of Bowmanville. When checking lists and sending in names omitted, please state all cases of those who died in the services. Since the original list appeared in The Statesman, Town Clerk Alex Lyle has received notice of the following names to be added thereto. Please write or phone him at 779 of any additions or changes. These names will be added alphabetically: Ronald K. Pingle, Wm. G. Ten- nant, Ian Hooey, Robert Lock- hart, F. J. Carter, Len Austin, Wm.
