Rotarian Bud Hay gave 'his classificàtion address at the Ro- tary. Club meeting in the Balmor- ai Hotel, Friday. Busy for some days in the U.S.A. participating in operating motorlçss gliders, Bud received a few bumps that resulted in postponing nis talk on bis vocation, craf t woodwork, and bis hobby, amateur flying, until quite reccvered from his re- cent experiences. .ppearing as much at home at t aker's table as in bis other les, Bud tcld with smooth 4 ion something of the satisfac- 'tion and profit in catering to pub- lic tastes in craft woodwork. To build sôlidly many useful things in th~e field cf artistic woodcraf t was something ta capture tne im- agination cf bath the craftsman and the public, was the essence ta be gathered from the speaker's remarks. Much cf the address in this vein recalled the work cf William Mar- ris and the later successful esta- blishmen.t cf the Roycraft Sbops. But there was also the art cf at- tracting tne public commercially ta appreciate the produet turned out. There was much cf interest in the talk ta inspire listeners with the desire ta get a set cf tools and take up the idea in base- ment workshops. In the niatter cf learning tc glide, the speaker told cf being entertained in Elmira, New Yark, State, and his thrill at being alof t in a sulent, soaring contraption cf -wood and canvass. Rotarians had the privilege cf seeing a glider at the recent 'Rotary l'air which was brougnt iii through the good offices of the speaker. Hence wbat he told was in the nature of background for the show. Mr. }Iay concluded his address witb a short outline on Town Planning, the latest thing ta, capture his imagination. - He proposes ta do something about it lacally by en- tering the cantracting field. He was tendered much applause for his interesting speech. An interested visitor at tne luncheon was D. A. Shay, presi- dent, Port Hope Rotary Club. President Mel Dale received his 5-year perfect attendance pin. Birthday flowers were pressed up- on Cy Siemon and George Cawk- er. Regrets o! the club at the departure cf Frank McIlveen were expressed fittingly and feelingly by Lau Dippell.

Public School Rosier Shows Litile Change Over Lasi Year Total -enroliment cf pupils in Central and South Ward Public Schools shows littie change this faîl frcm 1946, according to Prin- cipal A. M.

History Records Seven Enniskillen Doctors Locaied in Bowm'nville It is probable that the village of Enniskillen, located 8 miles north of Bowmanville la Durham Carunty, bas a record in thc mcd- ical field that will challenge apAr other small village la Ontario. For more than bal! a century, En- niskillen bas been the rural train- ing field for many of the leading doctors who bave since came ta Bowmanvillc to round out suc- cessful careers. Latest medical practitioner ta be received at Bowmanville from. Enniskillen is Dr. C. J. Austin wha for some years past bas carried on a general practice and bas act- cd as county coroner at the bill- top village. Going over the list largely from memary, the editor recalîs the following names of doctors who have practised at En- niskillen before caming ta Bo.w- manville or going on to other fields of service. First on the list is the late Dr. J. W. McLaughlin, who was not only a noted physician and sur- geon but a Liberal candidate for Durham after taking up residence in Bowmanvîhle. If we mayb pardoned fer making a pers'onal note, we might mention that Dr. McLaughlin brought the present editar of The Statesman inta this world. Others who started min En- niskillen were Dr. Levi Patter, Dr. S. C. Hiler and Dr. Bart Lammiman. But ail have long since passcd on after disting'uish-1 ed practice in Bowmanville. Caming dawn ta more recent times, we have aur own Dr. C. W. Slemon and Dr. Harold Ferguson, bath o! wham came from Ennis- killen ta become praminent in the professional and civic life o! Bow- manville. Now Dr. Austin joins the long line of able mea who, it may be said, toak their post-grad- uate training in the village of En- niskillen. Two others. Dr. J. C. Mitchell and Dr. F. C. Trebilcack after practising at Enniskillcn, went on ta other posts in the medical world. The late Dr. Mitchell. al- so a Liberal candidate in Durham County, became medical dimector o! the government hospital at Brockville, and died in office. Dr. Mitchell was father of Mr: A. N. Mitchell, chairman of the Board of the Canada Life Insurance Company. Dr. Trebilcock went on ta Taranto ta win a noted ca- reer and stili practises as an eye specialist. There is a wealth of background in this exodus cf medical men from a rural village that is wor- thy of being tcld la a book for it is ail part of the development cf the history of thîs new country. But who will write the book ? And mare pertinent at tbe mo- ment in keeping up a fine tradi- tion, wha will be thc next doctor at En niskillen? May be Ne'arer Truth Trhan Fiction in Rumors About Evading License A rumar te the effect that 50t residents cf the tawn had been summonsed and fined for failure ta take out radio licenses bas been la circulatian. Chief Venton stat- cd hp hpd heard nothing about itt and that ail local court cases had ta be cieared through local police channeis but no radia license cases have appcared on the dockct in I recent weeks. It was learned ra- dia inspectars bave been in town c checking up radia cwners and plan ta retura later. E It can he said however, that the f current drive to round up people t who failcd ta take out dag licen- î ses has heem effective.

CARTWRIGHT FAIR FINE SHOW OPENED BY HON* . RKELLEY LARGE CROWD ON SATURDAY AIl roads led ta Blackstock Wednesday, Sept. 3, for the sec- ond day cf the annual Blackstock Fair. With excellent weather the setting was perfect for the crowd that thranged the grounds early and late, keenly interested in the fine array of ekchibits la ail de- partments and the midway at- tractions. #Twc planes were busy aIl day taking up passengers and the day closed with splendid en- tertainment in the Armcury in the evening.- A new feature was the Junior Exhibits for Public Schoo.s which attracted very fav- arable comment. Hon. Russell T. Keiiey The fair was cfficially opened early in the afternaon by Hon. Russell T. Kelley, Minister..cf Health for Ontario. Hon. :Mr. Kelley, who was introduced by Warden Norman Green cf the United Counties cf Durham and N'orthumberland, -empitszed the need for close co-operation be- tween residents cf the urban and rural sections cf the province. Hle said the province stood on the threshold of a great opportunity and if those living on farms.and thase living in villages, towns and cities, warked together, ail could be benefitted. Telling his audience that bis de- partment spends $ 18,500,000 on health, Hon. Mr. Kelley said that much illness could be avoided if people would take care cf them- selves through proper diet and proper zest and consultation with ;heir dactors. In conclusion, hie congratulated the directors cf the fair on the excellence of their show, saying "if Canada is to be properous she nust have a prosperous agricul- tural industry."1 Farmlng Greatest Industry Later in the day Charles E. Stephenson of Port Hope, M.P. for Durham Riding, urged tbo s e young people who were thinking of leaving the farm ta reconsider. "If you are looking for green- er pastures elsewhere you will fid they are only dried out pas- ures. Stay on the farm. It is a great heritage and thase who farm'are engaged in one cf the greatest industries in Canada ta- day," he said. AIl the interest at the fair was eot centred upon the exhibits.i During the afternoon the Port Perry Band provided a program f music and the recegtly formed Cartwright Fife and Drum Band, ttired in natty red and white uni- forms, drew rounds cf applause s they paraded on the track. An dded attraction were two air- lanes which took up passengersj [rom a nearby field. In the ev- cing a program was presented In the Armouries followed by a1 argely attended dance,.
