He is one of the three candidates. The other twa are Major John W. Foote, V.C., Pro- gressive Conservative a4nd No~- man Allison, C.C.F.

Hoskin, Mm. and Mms. Per- lest week." I The Statesman decided as a faim stant in the campaign that the personal stanies of each candidate wauld be published as accurately as they could be learned. Sa in this issue the thrce stanies ap- pear. They serve almost as a personal introduction since the candidates cennot get about ta meet evcryone. We introduce Mn. Shiehd. Native Son Gamnet Shield was born in Ju- hy, 1890 on the famihy farm in Cavan Township taken up as a Crown GrAnt about a century ago. He took aven this 200 acres fram his*fiither and has lived and farmned thene aeh his life. The fa- mihy weme of stumdy English stock, hard womkens, honest, dlean' living, successful. Gamnet Shiehd inherited fully these precepts of good citizcnship and has cemied them out during his entire life. Good Educatosn He was educated in local schoals and at Omemee High School. Then he went on ta complete the twa-yean Associate Course at the Ontario Agricultural College in the ycar 1910. With this founda- tion he has carried on diversified agriculture, including good live- stock such as Shorthomns. He ah- s0 owned a fine dairy herd. But for the past three yeers he has retired from active xvomk on the farm and is pepared ta devote much time ta public service. Personal View Over six feet taîl, lean, square- jawed, in ugged good health, he hes had the energy ta devote much time to the ife of the cam- more than 20 yeams he has been supeintendent af the Mt. Pleas- ant United Church S un da y School. In fretemnal circles he is the Senior Deacan of his Masonic Lodge. He has always been a great supporter of! dean sports and his cultural activities have always turned ta good music. Publie Experience He accepted the confidence of his munlcipality ta serve five years on Cavan Township Caun- cil. three years as Deputy Reeve and four years as Reeve. His scv- en years on the United Caunties Council o! Northumberland and Durham found him active on most important cammittees, which in- cluded fîve years on the County Schools Commission and three years its chaimman. Thus he has had sound administrative exper- ience. For sevemal yeams he was president of the Durham County Libemal Association. Famlly History Mm. Shield was mamnied in 1916 ta Miss Annie Graham o! Victoria County. Their only daughter, June, is marricd ta a progressive young fermer, Carroll Nichalîs of Hope Township, who is president, Durham County Young Libemal Association, and member of the municipal councèil. This family circle marks the members as Can- ad ians fromn way back and now events have pmojected Mr. Shiehd into a widem field of service with a splendid background.

When the ice has gone and warm weather cornes along the arena will have a cernent floor which will be used throughout the summer months for rouler skating, a most popular sport throughout the country. Here, our young people and our old er people can enjoy thernselves, meeting together, getting acquaint ed and finding their exercise and recreation in Bowmanville instead of in the beverage roorns and in the out-of-town dance hall dives. We w ant our citizens ta like Bowmanville and be proud of the town. An aren a will do much to accomplish this purpose. 6, CIRCUSES, WRESTLINGI BGXING, ETC....0 There is reaiiy no lirnit to the possibilities an arena in Bowmanville will provide. We could have circus es, boxing, wrestling, stage shows, skating carnivals, basketball games, dog shows, hobby shows, box, la. crosse, bicycle races, f ashion shows, foot races and a hundred and one other iterns of cornpetitive sport, entertainrnent and general enjoyment. At the rnornent, there are f ew places in the town to provide these f acili- ties with large enough seating capacity to handie the crowd that would gather for the event. An arena wo uld open up many fields of enter- tainnient and recreation hitherto prohibited. 7. PUBLIC MEETINGS, BANQUETS.. The lunch room of the arena will be built with severai things in mind. ~It will be large enough to take care of a large crowd at the counter in the shortest time. It will also be large enough to accommodate a large banquet or if there is a public meeting of interest to a couple of thous- and people, a rostrum can be set up on the cernent floor in the arenar with a public address system so th at everyone in the auditorium can hear. Right now, it would be> very handy for the political meetings with both parties providing band concerts, and other entertainnient be- sides the speeches. 8. FARM SALES, FORUMS.. Rural people will not only be inter ested in hockey, skating and other arena activities, but they will also be enthusiastic when they learn that the arena wili be available for larg e auction sales, livestockcsh ows or sales, flower shows, seed f airs, smah11 f ail f air, horse shows and a dozen other items of interest to the people of the district. The more one thinks about an arena the more it is real ized that an arena in Bowmanviile will be one of the busiest spots in th e comrnunity. It can be used for so many things that we. are now miss ing that it is needed as soon as possible. 9. BAND CONCERTS . For music loyers throughout the district an arena o p "ens up a great field of opportunity. Our town band should blossorn forth and really be- corne the outstanding musical group of the town because they could present band concerts as often as they could find space. Prominent bands could be brought in f rom other towns. A musical festival would be a cinch in the arena except in the winter when it would be a littie cool. An arena will certainly be a wonderf ui improvement in our town. DON'T WAIT FOR CANVASSERS--GIVE NOWI IBLISHING CO. A A One of the most popular winter activities in Canada is ice skating. With a covered arena, Bowmanvilie wouid bq? able to provide its citi- zens of ail ages with good, comfortable ice skating in ail kinds of win- try weather. The central location of the arena on Rotary Park would make it available to everyone in town with littie expense or effort. Re- member the f un we used to have skating in Taylor's arena. We've missed that fun iately because we've had to travel miles to Oshawa or Orono for the sanie fun. 2., HOCKEY.. Competitive hockey among our towns builds up a local spirit which is hard to measure. A good team or teams makes us proud of Bowman- ville and the athletes it produces. In the good old days when we had a ri&Lk here, young and old thrilled to watch our Bowmanville teams in action. You'll remember the industrial leagues, the broom bail games, the championship piayoff games and the hot dogs we used to consume between periods while wé replayed the game. With this arena, as soon as a boy or girl is old enough to be on skates, she'll be skating and he'll be playing hockey, getting the exercise and learning how to "play the game"" an important item in later if e. 3, INDOOR CARNIVALS a * Our Service Clubs and other organizations do a wonderfui work in Bow- mnanville but they have been handicapped by shortage of funds be- cause they rnust raise their money by carnivals and entertainment, mainly in the summer rnonths. The arena would provide an ail year, ail weather place for such events, increasing the entertainment possi- bilities in Bowmanville and adding considerable to funds available for crippled children, for the blind, for recreation club work cand other sirn- ilar activities. Clubs could plan ah ead and know that ramn would not ruin their plans. 4. SCOUT-GUIDE HALL. If possible, one large rooni in the arena wili be set aside for the use of Boy Scouts and Cubs, Girl Guides and similar groups 'so that these qroups may carry on their excellent work of education in excellent sur- roundings. It is impossible to estimate the amount of good such organ- izations have done under many handicaps, of accommodation, but there is littie doubt that this work would go ahead with considerable impetus if and when a large hall is provided for them. Scout and Guide pag- eants and displays couid be held in the main part of the arena and the possibilities of expansion along these worthwhile lines is tremendous.
