JAMES. Editoi Bowmanville Rotary Club Trustee for Crippled Children The prime interest of Rotary Clubs is ser- vice in the field af Crippled Chldren's Work. It has been the chief interest af the Bowmanville Rotary Club for over 25 years past. Without publicity or fanfare the local club has done its best ta render every service possible to the crippled children of this district. It is generally conceded that a great work lias been accompli sh- ed by the Rotary committees who have had the direction ai this humanitarian service. But the Rotary Club lias been merely the agency tlirough which suffering children have been discovered and their needs attended ta by local doctors and the Sick Children's Hospital, Toronto. The funds for this work have been generally subscribed by the people of this en- tire district who have so generously patronized the annual Rotary Fair. Thus the service ren- dered lias been one ai community co-operation for which the Rotary Club lias always ackxiow- ledged in public thanks. Once again the Rotary Ftir will take place an the evening of Wednesday, lune 29. Its prime purpose, as usual, is ta invite public support for crippled children's wark. Plans for the caming year caîl for a greatly expanded programme in this field. The attractions arranged for the Fair, including an AlI-Star Football Game, are af a nature Io give enjoyment ta everyone who at- tends. \ is haped that a great cammunity ca- aperativs spirit will mark this annual occasion ta lielp along a splendid service.

Surprisingly Mcmy Do Not Know How to Mark Ballot It lu apparently net enough ta urge those Whio are qualified ta vote ta use their franchise on June 27th; according ta the Canadien Press, many aofIliosa Whio do vote are in need of in- struction in the proper marking ai their ballots. To mark a cross with a black lead pencil beside a naine on a slip af paper would seemn like ona ai the easiast things in the world, yet the Canadian Press reports tliat in the 1945 gen- eral election nearly 60,000 ballots were rejected because tliey were improperly marked and it in anticipated that, since the electoral list will be mucli higlier h.s yeer, there will be an aven greater number af rejected ballots. There are many wrang ways ai marking a ballot, ahi oi which caîl for rajection. Some ai the mont common are: Using any symbol allier than e cross, merking the ballot for more than ane candidate; using ink or colored pencil; writing in a name, and marking the ballot iWi any way than cen laten lead ta Ithe identification ai the voter. It may nat be genarally known that if a voter makes a mistake en lis ballot and realizas it in lime, lie may hand il back and get a freali ana.

The cigar- ette is a popular and lowly Pleasure, even if some people do class it as a luxury. B&M a cigar- ette is something more - it is a 'high and sign- ificent abject lesson which pin-points tlie way aur Liberal Governniant short-changes us all by its many higli taxes. Here are the facts: A package 20 cigarettes costs you 35 cents; - 211/2 cents ai that, is tax. You pay more in tex than you do for the cigar- ettes tliemiselves - just like paying $80 tax on a $50 suit of clothes. The working man or working woman who amokes a package of 20 cigarettes each day, pays $74.80 in taxes an them in one year - fer more than the meagre amaunt ai income tax lie or she lias paid heretofore - $3.40 greater than the tax a married man with no dependents must pey on an incarne of $2,500. * 0 * * The Liberals wauld like- you ta think only af the slight culs in incarne tax - they don't want you ta think ai the sales tax, the excise tax and alI the hidden taxes that bleed the 11f e- blood out of your incarna. We're not dealing with the rightness or wrongnass cf a tax on cigarettes, luxuries, or roast beef - we simply cite the cigarette tex as a symptorn, ta point out how you can be bled white by a tax with- out realizing it. And we want ta empliasize tliat the sales tex, and allier higli taxation cause higli casts of living; and that the Higli Cost of Living is the biggest issue before us as we go ta the poils in wliet the Liberals would like ta kid us is an "issuelass election." It is an issue that touches every pocket-boak. The prices you pay for the necessities ai if e, as wall as for the lasser comiorts, are so higli and taxation exacted by the Liberal Government s0 burdensome that the average worker, voter, houseliolder lias ta spend eh lie earns.

Yau cen't win. And, in addition, you're probably ealing gradually but certeinly into your little store af war-time savings of Victary Bonds or War Sev- ings Certificates. That's the way the Liberals haeve "menaged" the national economy - the principIe evidently is "the greatest blood fram the qreatest number/' * 0 * * Of course, they'll try ta tell you that sav- ings have increased in Canada. Just apply this simple test have yours? The Higli Cost ai Living-the impudent main- taining ai a colossal scele of taxes while the gavernment lias lied surpluses nunning out ai its very cars - that is the issue.
