Telephone 2891 38 King St. E. Phone 573 Bowmanville Canadian Weekly Newspapers As- sociation heid in Halifàx last month. Mr. Fisher is a lively in- dividual with an inquiring mmnd and a friendiy personality, who shutties back and forth across* Canada, «into the U.S.A. and across oceans. The speaker's subject was "Can- ada and the Changing Scene." His country is very dear to, hlm and he had much to praise in both people and country. At the same time he tried. te open our eyes to some giaring faults and gave some constructive criticism. He tires of continuai Speeches about there being no unity in Canada. It's a very cold, efficient type of unity, but it prod.uced an air force, army and navy of which any country couid be proud, espe- cially such a sparsely popuiated country as Canada. The Canadian people sent food and clothing to keep the British warm 'and fed. One-fifth of the requirements of the British were supplied by Can- ada, a country with a population about the same as New York State. We neyer seem to talk out loud about ourselves, seem afraid to let ourselves be Canadians. It is a unique country in having two railroad lines right across Can- ada, an airline right across Can- ada, a radio system right across Canada, and a banking system rig'ht across Canada. It's aiso unique for un.iformity of speech. There are so many *reasons why we should be proud of ourselves 'but we hoped we *would neyer become puffed up with our own performance. At this point we appatently piaced Nationaiism on top of the piano and moved across the plat- form to signify the hope that we would be past Nationalism. Who can tell how fast things will pro- gress in the next 25 years? Think what has happened in our time. While in Ottawa last week we watched a radar test that showed it raininge in Three Rivers then Kingston. He could not believe it was true, so telephoned King- ston-the reply was no rain.AI- most inimediately a eall came back that there was a heavy downpour of ramn! The world has grown so small we must learn to live together. We are ail children of- God and must divest our minds of miser- able prejudices. To Eskimos we smell-think that over! Gîve other countries the benefit of the doubt when trouble arises, because the sim- plest way to get war is to talk about it. A new world must corne. Drea- mers had a dream of democracy and it came to pass-little squab- bles at Peace Conferences may do good. There is too much prest talk and radio talk about the sîck world. Canada can help the world to bypass Nationalism. Our name is magnîficent ail over the world. The fact that we are British, plus the fact that we are American, plus the fact that we are part French, makes our voice one to be listened to in different parts of the world. We look at the world wîth three dimensional eyes and seem to be the only ones who un- derstand the Americans and the only ones who understand the British. We almost bend over backwards trying to axe the United States in so many ways-even our food. Pea soup seems to be the only national food. Surely there must be some favorite old dishes in our homes, that coulcl be served to help attract and keep the tourist trade. When Pearson was given a dinner in Hollywood, it was a completely Canadian dinner, buf- fala steak, etc. People came to this country to work and we must work if we are going to have the Canada we'd like to have. Some Canadians are more Brit- ish than King George will ever be. We should be proud of our background whether Irish, Scotch French, etc., but no new Canadian should feel the neect to apologize for his background, let us ail be Canadians and proud of it. Pontypool The Autumn Thankoffering Service of the Pontypool United Church was held' Sunday evening October 27th, with a fair congre- gation in attendance. The ser- vice was conducted by the min- ister Mr. E. Hancock and the ser- mon was preached 'by Mr. D. Conlan, mînister of the Janet- ville Pres'byterian Church and our neighboring community church at Ballyduif. In a powerful and, dy- namic way he spoke of the "Love of God," especially as viewed in a troubleci world such as we have today. The special music of the service was provided by a quar- tette of young people from New- castle, Ross, Glenn and Morley Allin and Wilbur Baskerville with Betty Allun at the organ who de- lighted the congregation with their inspiring music. The front of the .church was tastily decorated with late autumn flowers, fruits and vegetables by several ladies of the congregation. The Pontypool United Church Sunday School began its autumn program a few weeks ago with a new program for the children of the community. There are now five classes provided with the prospect of a sixth. The officers and teachers are as follows: Su- perintendent, Mr. Hancock; assis- tant superintendent and -teacher, Mrs. H. Richardson; teachers for, ARRANGE NOW FOR PLANTING BULBS TO BLOOM IN SPRING The rnonth of October is the month in which spring flowering bulbs should be planted ta bring best resuits. During the war bulb production in British Columbia increased sub- stantially and the Netherlands are again in a bulb exporting position for the first time since 1939, says R. W. Oliver, Division of Horti- culture, Central Experimental Farm, Ottawa. Contrary to expectation, the Dutch bulb injury was not com- pletely ruined during the war. In order to cut down acreage many aid varieties were discon- tinued, but many beautiful new varieties have been originated or increased. Early singles are be- ing superseded by later flowering varieties. This means that, for most gardeners, tulips move from the annual flower beds ta the mid- dle or back of the perennial bor- der, where their untidy faliage in June can be hidden by the leafy growth of later fiowering peren- nials. Cottage, Triumph, Darwin and Breeder tulips, daffodils and oth- er varieties of Narcissus create gay patches of color in the border in May and early June, when cal- or in a welcome break after win- ter's monatony. The bulbs should be pianted in clumps of a dazen or more of one variety, with the bulbs spaced 6 te 9 inches apart and covered ta a depth of 4 ta 5 inches. Ail bulbs require gaod drainage and will rot under wa- terlogged conditions. In heavy dlay soul it is advisable ta place an inch or two of sand beneath them, but this is not necessary in average souls. The later flawering tulips mul- tiply more rapidly than the early singles. It is necessary te dig them up every second year about the end of June ta keep themn from crowding and the flowers from becoming smaller. There is also dabger from the disease knawn as "fire," if they remain year after year in the same soil. Bulbs should be stared in a dry dark- ened rQom at a temperature af 60 ta 70 degrees until late July or August, then cleaned and graded. Any bulb over 7-8 of an inch in diameter will flower well and 'should be planted back in the barder in September. Smali bulbs maiy be sown in a furrow in the vegetable garden ta increase in size 50 that they can be used in the garden the next year. The smaller flowering bulbs, and their government must be fufly consciaus of world affairs and must foilow a practicai good- neighbor policy, holding fast ta our valuable Commonwealth and Empire connections and extend- ing the area of aur friendly ce- operatian with aur neighbors ta the south and other world pow- ers." In conclusion, Mr. Graydon stated that: "Canada has new international obligations and in common with every other coun- try can neyer hope again ta, sur- vive as a country of relatively good times, prosperity and pienty in the rnidst of a surging sea of unemployment, starvation and need." such as Crocus, Scilla, Chiono- doxa, Leucojum, Galanthus and Muscari (grape hyacinth) are ai useful in clumps at the front oi the border. They should be plan- ted close tagether, 3 ta 4 inches part, and covered ta a depth at 2 to 3 inches, according ta size oi the bulbs. These little bulbs can be left in the same spot for sev- eral years ta thicken and spread into ever increasing mats of wel- came, spring color.

Graydon Urges Citizens To Take More Active Interest in Government or Speaking over the national net- work of the Canadian Broadcast- ing Corporation in a free-time po- litical radio broadcast last week, Gordon Graydon, M.P., for Peel County and former Opposition House Leader, urged mass partic- ipation of ail in politics if demno- cracy is to be preserved and last- ing peace gained. "Armchair crîtics were of littie value in the war. They wiil be of iess use in the peace. Let this be a warning to, those of our peo- pie who tend tao leave the business of government to others. Politics is nat just a job of a few. When it becomes the job of the few it hasthe germs of danger for the many. I plead with my fellow- Canadians before it is too late to ntake politics the business of ail." Mr. Graydon urged increases in old-age pensions. "The govern- ment has not succeeded in carry- ing out its promises to provide housing for war veterans, and the present indisputable fact tbat the price line is not being held has brought hardship to oldiage pen- sioners," said the speaker. He pointed out that pensions were based on a period when prices were iower and with cost of living rîsing, old age pênsions should be increased. Continuing, Mr..
