Obartran wbere tbey were bonoured wîth a social evening arranged by the staff of the Bank of Montreal and were the recip- ients of an address and a gift. Tbe occasion marked the retirement of Mr. McIlveen after 43 years in tbe banking business. The bonoured couple were re- cieved at the door by Mrs. Cbart- ran and the ladies of the bai* staff and a pleasant evening of games followed by an excellent luncheon were prelude to the presentation madje on bebaif of the staff by Ralph E. Barrett, ac- countant at the local branch of the bank.

The gifts to Mr. and Mrs. Mcllveen 1were a kaee-hole walnut desk and chair with "happy days for the future".

Gladioli Gladden Local Store Windows Taking precedence in the pub- lic eye this season of the year are the store wiî dows and offices lucky enough o pos.sess decora- tive sprays of gladioli. For sbeer, stalwart, majestic beauty, few floral displays are more greatly admired. The commuaity is in- debted to the citizens who bave during the past years spent months and months of labor ta produce magnificent specimens of this grand flower. Many have been important winners in Nat- ional and District shows for some years and many new growers have entered the field. The report of the recent Nat- ional and District show at Osh- awa shows literally scores of prizes, fa.14pg to gladiolus growers of Bownîanvilie and district. In" this avenue alone, Bowmanviile, Newcastle and Durham County have, won notice fromn coast to Coast. We wonder bow many realize that this district can boast of being a leading garden spot in the entire Dominion. It is time we began to notice it, proclaiaî it, boast about it and invite others to corne and enjoy At. Let us recapitulate. Ail about us are vast apple orchards that bloom with pro- fusion each spring. Witbin the corporate limits of Bowmanville are two of the ieading nurseries of Canada, besides several smaller nurseries. And within the local towns and villages and through- out the countryside, gardens bloom with flowers aIl season. A few have entered the commercial field in this department and, "glad" stock is imported from many parts of the globe. Local growers hold important offices la the Gladiolus Societies. With al this at band why not revive the floral festival spirit, do some advertising, bring visitors in? Just a tbought for the Chamber of Commerce. Maple Grovo W.I. Garden Party Wonderful Success A garden party was held. undei the auspices of the Mapie GravE Womnen's Institute at the home ci Mr. and Mrs. W. G. Ailison Maple Grove, on Aug. 21. ThE guests were graciously received by the hostess, Mrs. Ailison and the President, Mrs. S.

Swal- low and Mrs. Ross Stevens pour- ed tea. During the afterno-oa, vocal solos by Mrs. Reta Dudley and Miss Lenore Coliacutt were enjoyed. Also inside the bouse were tables of home cooking and sew- ing and several beautiful hand- painted plaques. AUl were well patronized. Just outside the door was a long table at which vegetaoles and flowers were sold. Here too, the profusion of gladioli was de- ligbtful. The evening began in the form of a Combine demonstration and though the weather did not per- mit a tborough demonstration it was. weli attended by the men ,of tbe community. The audience, seated on tbe lawn, were then treated ta a band concert under the leadership of Mr. W. Shotter. Mr. Shotter and bis Bowmanviile boys are ta be congratulated on the type of pro- gram provided.

Huri- burt which were greatly enjoyed. It was learned that practically everytbing lef t over fromn the af- ternoon sale had been sold. Though the weather kept the attendance iower than expected, it could not dampen, the co-oper. ative, friendly attitude wbich ia the true spirit of the Women's In- stitute.

Sissons Dredglng nspector Appolnted ut Lake Wesley Percy, Bowmanviile, has been officially appointed as Tem- porary Inspector ln connection with the dredging operations now taking place at Bowmanville Har- bor. He has already taken up his duties and will continue until the work has been completed. Mr. Perey was informed of his appointment byý a special letter dated Aug. 23, 1947, from the Dis- trict Engineer's Office, Depart- ment of Public Works, Toronto. The letter stated that the appoint- ment was made on the recommen- dation of W. F. Rickard, ex-M.P., Newcastle, to the Minister of Pub- lic Works, Ottawa. The letter of instructions sent to Mr. Percy contains almost two pages of detailed instructions which require a great amount of labor making out a whole array of daily, weekly and monthly forms. Wbile Mr. Percy has had littie experience in marine af- fairs, he has always been found faithful in anything he attempts. Mr. Rickard could not be reached for comment prior to going to press. The story back of getting the dredging operations underway ap- pears in another columin. It is a long time since any dredging bas taken place at the harbor and the work under way now, comes at a time when local fishermen almost had to give up their business. The entire communfty appreciates the promptness with which the De- partment bas acted ini the mat- ter.

"The Factors Involved ia Writing a Biography." Touching only the few broad principles followed by Dr. Ryerson la laylag the founda. tion stones of aur educat.ional sys- tem, the speaker discussed sever- ai Canadian biographical works before going on ta an examina- tion of the mechanics of biagraph- ical writing. Hle sketcbed as wel the place of biography in litera- ture. Prof. Sissons suggested that the Socratic view, "the first study of mankind is man" was the correct view; that biography in many ways is the most iteresting and valuable means of capturing bis- torical perspective. Teachers of history were most impressed with the lack of sound perspective when su often examining papers written by students, sa many were the result of unaminated texts found utteriy dead and lifeless, lacking the hurnaui and objective approach. In general the his-. tory taught in prirmary and sec- ondary schools w'as a mere dul drill of wars and dates. True History The speaker r ecommen ded Greene's Short History of the Eni- glish People as a iiinling example of bow a study of histary couid be made captivating. It traced the evolution of! pragress In wbl.ch important figures became persan- lfied lin its pages and thus caught the imagination of the youager studentg. History in the form of stories was the -best method of imparting fundamentals ta pup- ils before taking up higher e&. ucation. Dealing with bis subject asap. plied to the Canadian field, Prof. Sissons brougbt !orward exami- ples of auto-biography an d straight biograpby, ta lead em- phasis ta bis assertion that Can- adian literature is iacking la great works in these fields. He later advanced a few main reasons why' this situation exists. Chiefly it was a matter of proximity ta cur- rent events. Examlles The autoblograpby of Sir Rich- ard Cartwright, written in the form of questions and answers was undoubtedly interesting anc1 informative, but was distinctly political and thus reached a lim- îted field, He had planned a further volume or two, but they failed ta appear and many assum- ed tbat Sir Richard, a taunch Liberal, was dissuaded fromn fur- ther pressinîg his, views whicli were considered an embarrass- merýt to his former political col- eagues. He wrote tua, close to bhis times. The same fault appeared la the Reminiscences of Sir Francis Hiacks, wh'ose volume savored more of an apologia or a defence o! bis own pojicies ta have sound historical value. Even Dr. Ryer- son's, Story of My Life, carried Mrs. Reina Adcock, 26-year-old of Hampton, with ber husband, Dutch war bride, who has entered Donald, won a five-mile swim be- the women's five-mile swim at fore leaving Holland.

A crowd estimated at close ta 1200 people of ail ages jammed the stands and grounds of Bow- manville High School, Tuesday evening, ta see the great benefit basebali game between Peterboro Seniors and an Ail-Star team of players la the Intermediate Lake- shore League. It was a thriiling contest la which the Ahl-Stars won by a score of 6-2 iXî 7 inniags. The game was arnanged under auspices of the Bowmanville 100F' Service Club with the pro- ceeds to go to the familles of the men who died or were seriously iajured through a train-auto ac- ridnt earPetierbôro a few weeks aga.

Broadcast Excellent arrangements were made ta, accommodate the crowd. Three grand prizes were awarded on a ticket draw wbich was made at the conclusion 'o! the game. A loud speaker set up, contributedi by the Radia Shop, Bowmanvîlle, permitted a broadcast of the game from the players' bench andi the players were introduced as1 tbey came ta the plate. Mayor Sidney Little extended a greetiag and thanks ta, the pub- lic for supporting a warthy cause. The announcer, Jobanie James, carried on sparkliag comment and a play by play record of the contest. It was a setting worthy of the big leagues and twîce as thrilling. Prize Winners Frank "Barb"l Pethick drew thf winning tickets at the close of the game. The winners were: (1) Pressure Cooker, Gannet McCoy; Drodging Oporations At Bowmanvilllo Harbor Startod Last Wook. Dnedging operations got under way at Bowmanvilie barbon last week. A power scow with an op- en-trap end la employed ta scoop out the channel and work is pro- ceeding every day, including Sun- days. The sand and mud are ta- ken out into the lake and dump- ed. A great numben o! people have visited tbe barbon ta see this modern machineny la action. The Depew fishing boats bave had difficuity navigatiag the nar- naw channel for some time and representations were made ta Bowmanville Council asking that some action b. taken in the way a! dredgiag. A resolution was for- wanded ta Ottawa and a copy sent ta' Chare E. Stephienson, M.P., who personally took the matter up with the Department o! Pub- lic Works. Mn. Stephenson reported back that he had secured assurances from the Departmeat that the work would be undentaken as soon as possible. As a resuit the District Engineen's Office, Toron- to, was ordered ta take prompt action and the dredging crew of the Canadian Carriers Ltd., Tren- tan, are naw operating under con- tract with the Dcpt. o!
