Chie! speak- er, Dr. G. P. McRostie, gave a most informative address on plant lýrèeding experiments and the gen- erai ýcro.t picture thraughout On- \ tari H * H ahead o!the Field 'uso ory Departmeut,0. A. C., h, e and a noted scientist in hi il~Anather informed speak- er was Ken Fallis o! the Crops, Weeds and Seeds Branch, who told o! experiments conducted iocally in the destruction of weeds. Annual Reports Annual reports included an ad- dress by Alex Hendry, delegate ta the annuai convention o! the Ontario Crop Improvement Asso- ciation and the financial state- ment p;esented by E. A. Summers, Secretary - treasurer o! the local association. In the. election o! of- ficers for the caming year, James T. Brown succeeded Gardon Sta- pies as president and few changes were made on the directorate. Mr. Staples asked ta be relieved a!- ter two years in office. thEighlight o! the meeting was tei impromptu speech o! Past President Garnet Rickard during discussion o! projects propased for the caming year; He însisted that the most important praject before the comniunity and the nation on the farmi front was an ail-out flght against the weed menace. He saw le point in pressing crop im- p Ivement as it should be with- ouf first conquering weeds. He caled for action ta urge gavern- ments ta, take the leading respan- sibility iu the matter. Chiet Speaker Dr. McRostie presented two main Matures relating ta crop im- provement: (1) The difficuities and the generai results met in ap- plying science ta plant breeding; (2) The practical results, attained inild crop production. He gave a great range o! information on expçriments iu cross-breeding ta get new varieties which have brougbt disease-resisting seeds to the fore, He saw unlimited pas- alilities iu the realm o! science w producing better varieties for agricuitural production. The 'speaker deait extensiveiy with production o! particular crops such as fia~ soy beans, by- brid corn, generb' feed and cer- cal crops and permanent pastures. The experiments conducted at the O.A.C. among these as ta disease contral and yields were-toid lu de- tatia which, unfortunateiy, cannot ~ dequately reported for lack o! ïpace. Most o! the story is found in variaus bookiets issued by the Ontario Dept. of Agriculture and these were distributed at the meeting. Ken Fail Mr. Failis gave a remarkable review o! practical steps being ta- ken ta control weeds. He deait at some length with empioyment o! 2-4-D as a weed killer and cailed attention particuiarly to twô spec- imens needlng attention, Buck- thoru and a newly discovered lac- ai weed, Leafy Spurge. These, together with bindweed and mus- tard will continue ta be attacked in the weed destruction program. He advocated increased public ap- propriations ta destroy roadside Fred Dorkin Winsi In Annual Goodyt On Dec. 13, the Goodyear Rqd and Gun Club held its annuai Rabbit Drive. Trucks left the Goodyear plant at 1:15 and turned north at Harvey Brooks' chicken ranch. At the crossroads o! the first concession north o! the bigh- way the boys started spreading west. This took in ail the terri- tory between the next two cross- roade. At two o'clock the Uine was straight and the drive started. The first Jack was sighted in about two minutes and ail broke loase. Veteran Tom Palmer was the nim- rod who finally bowled him over. At first it seemed like a young weeds and assistance in controi- ling farm weeds. Alex Hendry told that bis report of the annual convention, Ontario Crop Improvement Association, had been written by him and ap- peared as a series in The States- man. He reviewed the main high- lights. New Projecta In the open discussion on pro- jects for 1948, Garnet Rickard made his blast on the weed erad- ication program. and the directors wîll discuss it further. Other pro- jects inclucLed a suggestion for a Tomato Club along the Uines of the 500-bu. Potato Club and enquiry into larger production of hybrid corn. Mr. Rickard also suggested a wider use of methods of smut control, the fîrst local experiment of which was undertaken last spring. Election of officers resulted in the following siate for 1948:- Past president, Gordon Staples; presi- dent, James T. Brown; lst vice president, Robert Armýstrong; 2nd vice president, Mel McHolm; sec- retary-treasurer, E. A. Summers; directors: Manvers, Alf Johriston and Ernest Cavanaugh; Cavan: Harry Kennedy and Earl Morton; Cartwright. Carl Wright, Ernest Larmer and E.

Delegate to annual convention in Toronto, Ralph Lar- mer. Flaxman Wins Watch At Ski Club Dance The dance and novelty program put on by Bowmanvilie Ski Club in the High School Auditorium, Friday nlght, proved to be the mast popular, informal event of the season with more than 300 people enjaying the music provid- ed by Boyd Valleau and his or- chestra. One of the interesting events of the occasion~ was the prizes given tô lueky holders of door tickets. These consisteê of articles of ski equipment. 0f the seveni prizes, four went to local people and three to visitors from Oshawa. But the grand prize of the eve- ning, a handsome wrist watch from Hooper's Gi! t Shop, feUl to Gordon Flaxman, local contrac- tor, who held the lucky ticket in the draw. During dance inter- ludes the guests were greatly at-' trqcted by a style-show exhibit from Breslin's, Bowmanviile. Another interesting display was the ski equipment furnished by McNulty's Sport Shop and Mason and Dale Hardware. AU these latest itemns of this grand winter sport added pleasure and profit ta the dancers and ski enthusias- ists. And nice refreshments add- ed to the score. eHoward Sturrock was the cap- able Master of Ceremonies at the microphone and kept things pep- ped up with his clever announcing. He dîsclosed that the occasion was a financial success which means much in improvnig the ski run at Enniskillen. Members are asked to contact Art Hoaper concerning the next outing of the ski club. Another dance is planned later lu the season. is Top Honors ear Rabhit Drive Prize Wlnners Pirst prize on Uic prive went ta Fred Dorkin wbo bad tbree rab- bits ta bis credit, second prize was won evenly by Dick Stinson and T.

Summers, B.S.A., Agricultural Representative for Durham County, dispiays a calm expression quite in contrast ta the vitaiized activities he pursues througbout each year lu coaching bis. prize winning junior farmers.

Governor Many Pro jects Discussed Wbile Monday evening was bill- ed as the annual Christmas Party o! the Bowmanville Lions Club and was observed with, seasonal sangs and gi!ts for each member, the meeting also proved ta be one o! the most important business sessions o! the year. Whether the stage was set ta coincide with the officiai visit o! the Deputy Dis- trict Governor, the proceedings brougbt bearty congratulations from bhim when he addressed the gatbering. Probabiy the most im- portant matter decided upon was the undertaking ta effectively or- ganize the local "Foad for Brit- ain" campaigu.' The Speaker Introduced by Lion Bob Kent, District Governor Doug. Weaver, Lakefieid Lions Club, delivered a vigorous address in which he re- viewed the history o! Internation- al Lianism and its objectives and its recent recognition before the United Nations. He told o! the formation o! the !irst Lions Club lu Canada at Windsor, March, 1920, !romn which has grown 171 clubs lu Ontario and Quebec with 9,221 members. He complimented the Bowman- vile Club as anc o! the mnost e!fec- tive lu the entire zone in ail re- spects but warned that the lusty, new Lions Club o! Newcastle was out ta capture honors at the rate they were going. His informai message iu its first part was greatly inspirational and .well re- ceived and the projects and ex- pansion he advocated were heard with attention. Frecdom Menaced The second part o! bis address was evidentiy in accLrd witb the pragram o! Lions International and deait with the menace of Commuuism but its length and mass o! detail unfortunateiy can- r.ot be reported in the iimited space availabie lu this issue. It was a vivid picture the key- note o! which was that evcry, ser- vice club, every arganization and every individual sbould bend ev- ery effort to preserve aur free- dam and beip other nations pre- serve theirs.

Dental Negecet Setting out ta show how we may choose between good heaith or poor health, littie bills or big bills by negiectiug proper care o! aur teeth, Dr. Rudeil said: "Speak- ing from the dental standpoint, I can say that the state o! the den- tai heaith o! this country is ap- palling." He proceeded ta tel the experieuce of the past and the position today in this field, then dealt with thc causes o! dental de- terioriation sud suggested con- structive steps that can be taken ta correct thç entire situation. It was stated that 98 per cent o! aur population have dental ah- normalities accordiug ta the law o! averages sud likeiy every audi- ence would disciose severai dental crippies and some wîth mouths from 10 ta 20 years aider than the actual age o! the individual. In support of this conclusion the speaker quoted mil#tary statistics on enlistmeuts wbeu 20 young men out o! 100 were rcjected be- cause o! dental deficiencies.

Five New Candidates Qualify Two Vacant Council Seats Election on Monday, Dec. 22 Âuiornaiic Stamper Insialled in Post Office Speeds UpLeiters Put into operation lu the Eow- manville Post Office this week, a new, electric, automatic, stamp- cancelëing machine is proving to be a greàt saver oftime, labor and tempers. The staff bas been train- ed in its operation and even the 4 temporary members on d-uty during the Christmas rush take turns in testing its amazing speed and accuracy. Set up at elbow beight and fed somewhat like a chaff cutter, let- ters are snatched in on edge and the inked cancelling hammer smacks the stamps at a speed of 2 per second, which according to the calculation o! Miss Helen Prit- chard, Statesman staff, is 7200 let- ters per hour. But parcels cannot be accommodated. The machine was installed at the expense of the veteran Post- master, Carl Kent, since the Bow- manville Post Office is operated on a revenue basis. The novelty wlll wear off in time, like enamel from finger nails, but the machine will continue in operation much to the convenience of the staff and the public. Mr. Kent is to be con- gratulated on his enterprise. Special Chrjstmas Services at St. John's Church on Sunday Special music and a beautiful Nativity Play will mark the ser- vices in St. John's Anglican Church Sunday, Dec.* 21, in ob- servance o! the CIristmas season.

Women's Canadian Club Hear Interesting Address on India Speaking at the Womeu's Can- adian Club, Monday afternoou, on the subject o! India, Dr. John McLaurin, wbo for some years, was lu mission work lu India, ended bis timely and most inter- esting talk with a fervent hope, "Al ane in Christ Jesus." Dr. McLauriu was intmoduced -by president Mrs. L. W. Dippeil, who &poke o! the extensive work he bad doue lu India lu field mis- sions, divinity scboois, as princi- pal o! a high scbool and in the publishing world. He is a bro- ther o! Mrs. J. H. H. Jury and Miss K. McLaurin, Bowmanville, and Dr. John MeLaurin is secretary o! the Baptist Mission- amy Society. It bas becu said o! bsm that he is not only a minister but a statesman whicb was proved by bis excellent address. Dealing with the impresions gathered from a trip ta India lu late 1946 sud early 1947, Dr. Mc- Laurin paiuted a picture o! the op- inions, desimes sud trends o! the common nman duriug that period. He said he could not speak for thc present time since nowbere are changes so rapidly wrought as in the deusely popuiated country o! India. At the time o! bis visit be realized. that more sud more the common man was takiug Uic reins in bis own bauds sud shap- ing the destiuy of bis land. With sû mauy varicd religions withiu the ane country this was an over- wbelmiug job but anc that was climaxed withi the withdrawal of the British forces inu September. Sbaping bis address in threA parts the speaker told o! the re- actions o! the people ta tbree ma- jor questions he bad asked. The answers given cmbraced mauy different opinions -because the questions were asked o! people o! ail walks o! li!e-priucipals, studeuts, rioters, station masters, industrialists, tillers o! the soil, Christians and non - Christians. The first o! these qttestions was, "Do you believe that the British government ~s speakîng in good ±aith when it says it is giving In- dia leave o! self-government lu 1948?" (The date quoted was thc original date set by the British goverument and publicized lu 1946). England is iooked upon by the majority o! Indians whQ have studied the lariguage or have came, in any way, into close con- tact with the ad[ministration and jurisdiction o! the English lu Iu- dia, ta be the emblem and. sym- bol o! the well-known, "British fair play." This is evident in anc example by the people o! Bengal province retaining the services o! Lheir former governor, Sir Fed- erick Boumne, after the expulsion o! the .English. They have rever- eut respect for the Crown and that bas been a unifying force througbout India. Others are be- ing in!luenced by the Congress government which bas set out ta sow suspicion about the British evacuation and bas helped ta briug about the recent division o! India into the Pakistan and Hind- ustan. Iu bis travel, Dr. McLaur- lu was impressed with the fact that in the communities that bad stability, sanity aud a whoiesomc quality, there Christianity remain- ed, the beacon o! hope. Pakistan is lcadiug the Moslem state lu iudustry, and education and the destiny o! India may te directiy connected with thc deci- sians o! that state. Looking west- ward is Palestine and the turbu- lence that la now taking place withiu its baundaries. Whlle the Arabs, who are Moslem aud there- fore devoutly religlous are toaa large degree reiated to, the peo- pie o! Pakistan. The Jews, on the other baud, made up o! displaced personnel, are comumnist mind- cd or athiest and Christians are refused admittance ta Palestine. Should Pakistan look ever east- ward, Hindustan and Pakistan might unite. Going ta the next question, "Do (Coutinued on page five) k- ~ The second nomination ta secure candidates ta fiil twa remaining seats on the 1948 Bowmanvillc Town Council was held in the council chamber on Priday night, Dec. 12, with Town Clerk Alex Lyle presiding. As usual there was a smail attendance but the 30 electors present were determined to assume a duty and responsibil- ity for the entire community wîth the resuit that five candidates nominated. Ail five qualified by Saturday night and an election wiil be heid Monday, Dec. 22. The previaus regurar nomina- tions resuited in acclamations for ail seats except the two ie!t vac- ant. It gave the electors no choice in vating at a particulariy criticai state in the town's affairs. There was general satisfaction that- the second meeting restored a proper democratic prerogative with tbe hope that the electors will get out and vote on Dec. 22. The Candidates Nominated' were Ivan Hobbs, rubber worker, Donald Boe, rub- ber wor,kcer, Charles Shaw, rub- ber worker, Frank Jamieson, bus- inessmbn, Wm. G. James, busi- nessman. It was seen when these candidates were called upon ta ad- dress the meeting that they were ail comparativeiy young men which was the slate calied for .in The Statesman's editorial the previaus week. Ail were active, vigorous and willing ta accept re- sponsibilities in civic affairs. Addresses Speaking in, turn, Williani James led off by observing that he would stand for election as a duty and if elected wouid work bard ta make Bowmanville a betttr place in which ta live and work. He urged the others ta run and gîve 1ýhe eiectorate a chance ta choose whom they wished 'ta re- present them. Mr. Hobbs declared at once bis intention o! running and if el- ected would try to uphold a fair administration right across the board in municipal administra- tion. He solicited the support o! electors on bis stand. Mr. Jamieson also *indicated he would run and as a businesm». would seek t6 do'his part ta ré' resent fairly àaU interests o! the town. Interested in sport and youth movement he would pro- mate their welfare.
