Overseas Brides Entertained Rotary Anns Give Presents On Saturday, November 2nd-, at the home of Mrs. A. R. Virgin, the Rotary Anns of Bowmanville held an official welcome party for the Overseas war brides. Receiving the guests were Mrs. A. R. Virgin, and Mrs. J. F. Hey- land, wife of the president of Ro- tary. On arrival each bride was given a name tag to attach to her dress so that her identity could quickly be established, thus making it sim- pler and easier to mix freely and to break down the barriers of res- traint. Despite inclement weather there was a large turnout of both brides and Rotary Anns and in a cheerful atmosphere of goodwil.1 a delight- ful tea was served. Pouring tea were Mrs. F. O. McIlveen and Mrs. Geo. W. James. Later each bride was formally introduced to the company by one of the Rotary Anns and a brief resume given of how, when and where she had met her husband. In many cases the Rotary Anns found difficulty in remembering the name of the 'foreign' town from whence the bride had come, which led to a great deal of hil- arity. After the introduction of each bride Mrs. Heyland presented her with a powder compact as a per- sonal and tangible form of wel- come from the Rotary Anns. Thanking the Rotary Anns Mrs. Wm. G. James said that the lovely gift would always be a treasured possession, not only because of its beauty and usefulness but also be- cause of the added sentiment at- tached to it. On all sides, in vary- ing accents, it was agreed that credit must be given to the citi- zens of Bowmanville for being ex- tremely hospitable and friendly and for wholeheartedly welcom- ing these brides into their homes. The Overseas brides present on this memorable and enjoyable oc- cation included: Mrs. Irene Conners, Mrs. Ruby Polly, Mrs. Bob McIlveen, Mrs. Sweynina Henderson, Mrs. June Nurcoinbe, Mrs. Mabel McQuar- rie, Mrs. Joan Virtue, Mrs. Mar- jorie Anderson, Mrs. Georgette Goheen, Mrs. Joan Honeyman, Mrs. Anne Kennedy, Mrs. Bill James, Mrs. Sheila Hooper, Mrs. Tena Gibbs, Mrs. E. Topple, Mrs. Jim Sisson, Mrs. Byron Cryder- man, Mrs. Dorkin, Mrs. MacDon- ald, Mrs. Ellison, Mrs. Bill Hut- chinson, Mrs. Harold McKnight, Mrs. L. Connors, Mrs. B. Shred. Local Foundry Union Asks Wage Increase of 19.5 Cents An offer by the Bowmanville Foundry Company Limited of a 9½-cent-an-hour raise to labor- ers was tabled October 29 by Lo- cal 2375, United Steelworkers of America, and instead the Union decided to seek a 19½ cent-an- hour boost in wages across the board, M. J. Fenwick, Union rep- 6hresentative, said tod.ay. Meeting in the Bowmaxville ubber Workers Union Hall, the ns instructed the Union's ting committee to give the qred 30 days' notice to the ompany of changes to the agree- ment which expires December 1.

LEAVES FOR FRANCE New Night Constable Commenced Duties Last Friday Evening Bernard Kitney commenced du- ty as a night constable on the Bowmanville Police Force, Fri- day, November 1, 1946. He will act under direction of Chief of Police Sidney Venton and the Chairman of the Police Commit- tee, Councillor 14orman Allison. Night Constable Walter Hall who has been on the force for many years will continue in his duties, hence two constables will now take care of the office and patrols at night. The new appoiitment will re- lieve Thomas Heighton who has carried on as relief night cons- table during the past year or more. Chief Venton expressed praise for the work of Mr. Heigh- ton and observed that during his tour of duties not a single break- in was reported. Appointment of Constable Kit- ney was confirmed by Council in committee of the whole when ap- plications of no less than 56 seek- ing the position were examined. The new constable was notified of his appointment and came on to Bowmanville to be formally sworn in. Constable Kitney was formerly on the Provincial Police Force and was stationed at Bowmanville for a short period prior to joining the R.C.A.F. where he served three Twenty Entries in Contest Marilyn Leask, Bradley's Wins Durham County Shield Miss Marilyn Leask, Braddey's School, was adjudged winner in the Public Speaking Contests held in Orono Town Hall, Friday ev- ening, November 1. In second place came Denny Lynch, Orono School. Marilyn was presented with the silver shield awarded by the Durham County Club of Tor- onto as the first prize in this an- nual event and Degny won the silver shield awarded by the Bow- manville Lions Club. These tro- phies, on which their names will be inscribed, are their possessions for one year. Both received great acclaim from the large audience present when the announcements were made. Fine Addresses Twenty pupils from various Public Schools in Durham Coun- ty, each a district winner, took part in the contest and each, ac- cording to the jâdges, contribut- ed addresses of a very high order which made the efforts of the winners all the more notable. Miss Marilyn Leask is a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. J. Leask, Taun- ton, and Denny Lynch is a son of Mr. and Mrs. Harry Lynch, Orono. Marilyn's teacher at Bradley's is Miss Eileen Farrow who also trained another contestant, Miss Donna Vice, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Clarence Vice. Donna who was the first speaker of the even- ing, rated a point score very close to the winners. Marilyn, who spoke on "Abraham Lincoln," con- cluded with a brilliant passage from the Gettysburg Address. Denny Lynch spoke on "The Ma- ple Tree" and conclutled with a fine effort of poetic oratory. Names of contestants and their subjects appear below. Dr. E. Floyd Willoughby 0f Winnipeg, past president of the Canadian Teachers' Federa- tion, who has been appointed a member of the Canadian delega- tion to the United Nations Educa- tional, Scientific and Cultural Organization ' which meets in Paris in November, it was learn- ed here. Dr. Willoughby sailed from Halifax yesterday. A wide- ly known educationist, Dr. Wil- loughby studied at McMaster Un- iversity, the Ontario College of Education and the University of Toronto. He has spent the great- er part of his professional life in Winnipeg where he taught on the staff of the Kelvin Technical High School before assuming his pres- ent position as supervising prin- cipal of the Mulvey Elementary and Junior High School. Dr. Willoughby is well known in Durham County having attend- ed Bowmanville High School and later taught at No. 3 Base Line school, Darlington. He married Lela VanDyke, daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. George Van Dyke, and is a brother-in-law of Mrs. Cecil Jeffery, Maple Grove. ber of Bow.manville Lions Club. Dr. Williams, a past president of the Durham Club, in congrat- ulating Marilyn, told that as a farm boy he knew the Leask fa- mily as one of the pioneers in farming in this district and added that in the spendid representa- tion of young girls in the contest he saw a bright future for con- tinuing the work of Women's In- stitutes, which, he said could safe- ly be entrusted with the govern- ment of this country. In behalf of the Durham Club he invited Marilyn and her parents to be its guests in November where a fur- ther present would be added. Dr. Williams, a Past President of The Men of the Trees, also in- vited Denny Lynch to the Tor- onto gathering since his address on The Maple Tree was in ac- cord with the objectives of that organization, the conservation of the forest wealth of the nation. Entertainment Mr. Osborne congratulated Denny and his teacher and par- ents in behalf of the Lions Club and also disclosed that Denny and his brother Harry were the young artists who brightened the occa- sion with duets on band instru- ments. Ken Allin also contribut- ed a tenor solo to the program with Mrs. Harry Lynch as accom- panist. Other speakers who added gen- eral congratulations and infor- mation in regard to the value of public speaking contests were In- spectors T. R. McEwen, Oshawa, and W. H. Carlton, Cobourg. At the conclusion of the adjud- ications the 20 contestants were called to the platform and intro- duced individually to the aud- ience. To each was presented a book by Rev. W. W. Patterson, among selections purchased by the Teachers' Association. Names and Subjects Following are the names of the contestants with their respective subjects: Donna Vice, Enniskillen, Story of Franklin Roosevelt. Colleen Hutchinson, Bowman- ville, Co-operation.

Excavation Work Pattern of Neatness As an example of hôw construc- tion work ought to be done, no better workmanship and despatch can be seen than that of the local crew of the Bell Telephone Com- pany. The company is presently laying underground cable to con- nect up with the main under- ground lines put in a few years ago between Montreal and Tor- onto. It is understood that the local work, includ.ing adjacent municipalities is being done to eliminate the present pole sys- tem. Frank Williams, local manager of the Bell Telephone Company, who was found supervising the work on Temperance Street, ex- plained to interested onlookers just what the policy of the com- pany is in all excavation projects. When a trench is dug whether on public or private property, the sod is neatly cut and laid àside until the trench is refilled. Then the sod is replaced. The result is one in which there is no dissatisfaction. When the work was completed it was ob- served that there was scarcely a bit of evidence 'hat an excavation had been made. From a few feet away the greensward appeared, as smooth as before. Mr. Williams explained. that this policy was found to be one of good public re- lations and entailed little extra expense. It was also found that workmen took pride in this kind of work. The Bell Company are to be commended for their splen- did example. New Type of Reform For Prisons Explained By Major A. R. Virgin Details of the new policy being projected by the provincial gov- ernment into prison reform, par- ticularly juvenile institutions, have been released by Hon. Geo. Dunbar, Minister of Reform In- stitutions, and the niewly appoint- ed Director for the entire prov- ince, Major A. R. Virgin, former Superintendent of the Boys' Train- ing School, Bowmanville. The scheme embraces a special school for prison officers and su- pervisors of training schools Major A. R. Virgin where training will emphasize both discipline and education, with recreation and physical trai- ning also a basic concern. The idea seeks to apply discipline of "family type" and custodial offi- cers will receive a rounded train- ing more in the nature of teach- ers rather than merely guards. One training school opens this week at Guelph with 20 officers from the various institutions tak- ing a six weeks' course. It will continue with other groups com- ing on in succession. Development of the plan which seeks to view inmates as wards rather than as prisoners will place Ontario in the forefront of reform in this'sphere throughout North America ac- cord-ing to Major .Virgin. In the setup as it affects juven- iles, Guelph accepts boys over 16, Bowmanville under 16 and Galt under 15, which carries out the segregation idea. Training for good citizenship is the keynote and it is believed that family dis- cipline and sound instruction to- gether with healthful recreation is the most effective way to induce youthful delinquents to become law-abiding citizens.

Roads committee was authoriz- ed to employ engineer to survey plans for overhead bridge at C.N. R. on road leading to Bowman- ville beach. New Educational Science Charts Aptitude of Students Gordon Elliott, B.A., instructor in Vocational Guidance, Bowman- ville High School, speaking at the Bowmanville Rotary Club at its Friday luncheon in the Balmoral Hotel, presented one of the most penetrating and informative ad- dresses heard by the members of that body for some considerable time. He dealt with the practical aspects of the comparatively new science in the realm of education which may be described as Educa- tional and Vocational Guidance. Gordon Elliott, B.A. He presented the case as "The Roll of Guidance in Present Day Education." Tracing the history of the movement, Mr. Elliott en- larged upon its application in the schools of Ontario today. The intense interest aroused was re- flected in the question period which followed the address. Personal Mr. Elliott was introduced by his High School colleague, Rotar- ian Fred Gardiner. Born at Elm- vale, Ont., Mr. Elliott graduated from Listowel High School and North Bay Normal School. He was Principal of Cobalt School for nine years and pursued extra mural studies leading to the B.A. degree prior to graduation at Queen's University in 1940. Com- ing to Bowmanville the same year he has since completed two years of a three-year course in Social Studies during vacation periods. A member of the Lions Club, Mr. Elliott is also President of the Bowmanville Men's Canadian Club. Modern Guidance The principle of Guidance in modern educational practice, said the speaker, in its wider aspects, could be stated as embracing life in general. But its application in the academic sphere embraced two general aspects, Vocational and Educational Guidance. These involve most of the activities and aspirations of students in schools where the Guidance syllabus has been authorized by the Depart- ment of Education. Mr. Elliott illustrated how the scheme oper- ated with the use of charts and forms on which were kept a com- plete,.record of each student. From these the school counsellor was enabled, scientifically to give sound advice to each student in the matter of choosing his voca- tion in life. Dealing with the history of the movement, Mr. Elliott toldi that it originated with a Boston lawyer and newspaper man, Frank Par- sons, shortly after the turn of the present century. The idea caught on, was further developed by Eli Weaver, a New York education- ist, and it finally came to Canada in 1912, sponsored by the Indus- trial Bureau of Winnipeg for ap- plication to gradqs 8 and 9. History Not until 1920 was the Guidance principle adopted by the Ontario Department of Education. But in 1930 the Department made a not- able advance by opening a course for vocational teachers at Ham- ilton. Since then a separate de- partment with a provincial organ- izer now looks after administra- tive committees. Teacher coun- sellors are then, under this setup, provided with a syllabus setting forth duties to be practically ap- plied. Four Factors Four principle factors were ob- served in applying the guidance idea. There was a study and tpst- ing of the student as an ind-ividual, the clinical or diagnostic approach, with charts, including a photo- graph, duly recordd. Second was a study of vocational apti- tudes or the individual interests in the world of work. Third came the real keystone of the scheme, the counselling of the student as to avenues best calculated for his manifest aptitudes. Finally came the placement in business life or higher studies and also a follow- up to learn of success attained. The general picture, therefore, was a rounded, practical record of each student, as near an approach to science as could be devised, useful also for continuing re- search. Diagnosis Mr. Elliott went on to explain that this system of academic dàag- nosis very g-eatly removed the in- cidence of academic failures and inability to get settled in voca- tions promising-the best in future (Continued on Page Six) Otan Notice Re Increased Charge For Statesman Classified Adlets Because of greatly increased costs of pub- lication, a slightly .upward revision in The Statesman's classified advertising rates has been found necessar. Commencing with issue of Thursday, November 20th, 1946, the rates for classified adlets will be as follows: CASH RATE: 2 cents a word (minimum 35c) Must be paid before insertion. IF CHARGED: 3 cents a word (minimum 50c) 25 cents extra for box numbers or replies directed to this office. Additional insertions same rates. When mailing adlets to The Statesman enclose cash, stamps or money order. It is simple to figure the cost - just twio cents each word and figure, with minimum of 35c. Add 25c if you want a box number. But remember to get this low cash rate, you must send along the money. PHONED ADLETS MUST BE PAID BEFORE THE STATESMAN GOES TO- PRESS, not later than noon Wednesday. If the adlets are charged the higher rate is necessary because of the great deal of bookkeepiîg involved. It takes just as much time and work to book a small adlet as a full page ad. Newsprint has gone from $69.00 to $119.00 a ton. That makes a 70% increase in six years. Materials, wages and all factors in publishing are much costlier. As a matter of fact, a perusual of dozens of weekly newspapers across Canada shows that The Statesman's increase of only 10c for cash adlets is lower than many weekly papers, where the minimum is 50e and in many cases 75c. Furthermore, The Statesman with it's more than 3,000 ABC circulation has an estimated readership of over 12,000 prospective customers each week. Imagine getting your message to such a large audience at such low cost of two cents a word (cash). Sponsors The chairman of the meeting, Alex Carruthers, Port Hope, pres- ident, Durham County Teachers' Association, explained that the contests were sponsored by the Durham County Trustees and Ratepayers' Association to devel- op speaking talent and to encour- age initiative within a provincial setup in which eliminations brought out the provincial final- ist. Marilyn and Denny will go on to Brighton for the district contests and the winner at that point will appear Easter Week in Toronto among the contestants for the provincial title. A panel of five teachers, whose names were not announced, came from Oshawa and Cobourg to act as adjudicators. Acting indepen- dently their ratings on score forms were later totalled by a committee to determine the win- ners. Presentations Presentation of the Durham Club Shield to Marilyn was made by Dr. L. B. Williams, who with Mrs. Williams came on from Tor- onto as official representative of the club to congratulate the win- ner. The Lions Club Shield was presented to Denny by Russell Osborne, President, Trustees and Ratepayers Association and mem- years. He is married, is 30 years of age, -stands 6 ft. 4 in. in height and weighs 265 pounds. He is at present looking for a home in town in order that Mrs. Kitney may join him here. tale an
