There Is one mother in Bow- Manville wbo is convinced that Motber's Day cames mare than, one day in the year. This particu- - la mother bas a young teen-age son wbo realizes that bis mother Is to ps aIl year araund and showed his appreciation hi a very unique and commendable way. Waiking inte one of the dress Ààres in town last week, this lad 'iPed the surprised sales clerk if h 'might see some women's sum- mer dresses. He knew the correct size and ai 1er looking tbrough the stock an'band, picked eut the one he liked, paîd for it with bis awn mioney and taak il home ta bis mo- ther. Hlowever this isn't the whole story. Thinking that a littie Mystery would add ta, the occas- ion, aur young gallant tld bis mo- tber that a sales clerk had stopped hlm on the street and tld him that lhey had a dress in their store for bis moîber wbicb had ibeen paid for and would be please corne and pick it up. Cantinuing, he ex- pressed tbe belief that it was a present from an unknown admnir- er. But, ai ter an interval af in- tense questioning be finaily broke down and canfessed that be was the culprit. According toalal reports, Fa- ther's Day was ta be celebrated last Sunday, but in this particular home, Father had ta share bis day with Mother. T. N. T. Plctures Library Beautified I met Mrs. Bowers, the libranian, on the street lasI week and she asked me ta drap into the libnary. The vîsil was well wortbwhile, because as soon as I walked in the door, I saw the walls ornamented wlth. four beauliful pictures. These pictunes depicting Cana- dian scenery were donated te the Bowmanville Library by the cour- tesY ai the Canadian Pacific Rail- raad Company. One of the pictures is ai Evan- geline Park, Grand Pre, Nova Scotia, another is a scene af a fishing schooner in Peppy's Cave, Nova Scotia, the third shows the beautiful Yobo Valley in the Can- adian Reckies and the fourth, the famous Banff Springs Hotel alsa in the Canadian Rockies. Ahl these pictures have attract- ive ligbt maple frames that show up ta perfection on the daffadil yellaw walls. T.Ne.T. Tîvo Charrning Ladies The women ai Bowmanviile and surrounding district had a rare and unusual opparlunity Fri- day nigbt and Saturday morning. On these twa occasions the wives ai the twa ieading statesmen ai Canada accompanied their bus- bands when tbey spoke te Ithe people af Ontario and Durham Counties. On Friday nigbt at the Oshawa Arena, Mrs. Fîorenza Drew cbarm-j ed a large audience when she took over the microphone aiter ber husband's speech te remind the women that tbey bave a grave ne- sponsibility in the forlhcoming election. Saturday morning bundreds milied around the train that was carrying aur present Prime Minis- ter, Mr. St. Laurent, as it stopped at the Bowmanville C.N.R. sta- tion. Unfortunately lime did not permit Mrs. St. Laurent ta speak, howeven, ber gnaciousness was veny mucb in evidence as she stood -beside ber husband and waved ber greeling ta the cnowds.

Madeline Bone Teacher ai Piano at the Royal Conservatory ai Music ai Toronto, will conduct curent examinations for the Conservatory in Bowman- ville on June 29 and 30. Madeline Bone, widely known cancert-pianist, and teacher, bas been on the Conservalory Faculty for many years. In addition ta ber teaching she bas appeared as guest-artist with the Toronto Symphony Orchestra, while ber two-piano work with Elsie Ben- nett bas brought ber widespread acclaim. became popular in England in 1930. In 1933 twa scbool teachers in Calgary, Alberta, Mary and Cath- erne Barclay, got in louch with John Calchpool, secrelary ai the Engiisb Hosiel graup, and in 1934 the firs 't hostel was apened at Bragg Creek, about 15 miles south ai Calgary. This was the first bas- tel in North America. The cost ai a Canadiani Youth Hostel Pass is very smail. The an- fluai fee is $1.25 whicb includes a subscriplion te "The Haversack"- a guide ta hostellers. An additional 25 cents purchases a foreign tra- vel stieker whicb validates a pass in the United States, Europe and ail other lands. The average day's cosi on a trip is iow, amaunling ta about $1.00, if the hosteller cooks bis own meais. It bas been since 1937 that the Youth Hostel mavement bas real- !y expanded. The grawing inlerest is for the rnast part among youtb, but there is no age lîmit. The only requirement is a love for the out- doars and lots ai energy. T. N. T.

PONTYPOOL Max Miller, our best liked Jewish residerit, entered bospital last week tao undergo an operation. He died under the anaestbetic. Our sympathies are extended ta the bereaved widow, and three sons, Lonie, Morris and Sammy. Mr. Miller was born in Russia. After emigrating ta Canada, he worked like a slave, in order ta provide for bis wife and boys, those things wbich be had been denied. He was fair in bis dealings, kindly and tolerant in religiaus matters, generous ta a fault with his re- sources. The helpless and needy neyer appealed ta him in vain,- no matter what their race, religion or colour. What finer epitaph could any man wish? Our music teacher, Mr. Arm- strong, ar;anged a bangup music festival for Friday night. A capa- city crowd generously applauded the many fine events. Although the night was hot and sticky the audience was attentive and orderly. The events were keenly con- tested, with very narrow margins between the first and second place winners. One innovation no- Led was the very large number of boys and girls able te play the plastie flutes. Five scbools entered the competition with the teachers wvhich deserve scads o! credit for ;heir splendid assistance. Mr. Neil Stewart, adjudicator, did a fine job and was conscient- ous in bis placing and seemed ag- reeably surprised ta find se much unusual talent back bere on the ridge. Thirty years ago today (June 8), the writer arrivedin this la-, 'ality, 'ta start farming. There vere ne nice music festivals then s music was flot taught in the schools. Very f ew people, young r old, were capable of playing ny instrument araund here. Charley Chapman, Reeve of Nianvers, was travelling south on Righway fia. 35 on Friday after- mon.

Wilma Bowins and Leroy Hy- nd were married last week. We tar they were bitched at one of he Millbrook parsonages, then at- ended a reception before going aNorth Bay for their haneymoon.

We're sarry for the omis- sion, but we juat couldn't make it. IThere were tao many tbings ta be dane, and it wasnIt possible ta squeeze in any mare. The extras were mnostlyT jobs ai a publie na- ture. And this has caused us ta do a bit. of thinking. It migbt bave been better if we bad written "That Inside Page" and let other people do tbe varieus other things. In fact, we are seriously tbinking about resigning a wbiole graup ai bonarary jobs and letting same- one else do them. There's no mon- ey in tbemn, but that is taken for granted. But there's little thanks eitber. We are led ta wonder why anyane can be found ta try to do tbings for the cammunity. During tbe past week, we have spent one evennig with the offic- ers o! the Chamber ai Commerce. It is near the end ai the year for that arganization and ithere is plenty ta ho done. There xvas alsa a littie item about Fergus tabee made eut for a folder about the river valley. There was a brieft address ta be given ta another or- ganization.

TH11VK THIS ONE OVER BEFORE YOU VOTE Those near-sigbted legislators, the kind that see only as far as their seats in the House ai Com- Mons, witb entrenched Power be- bind them ta ensure a long term in office, are NOT the kind ta look carefully after yaur interests.
