W. JAMES, Editoi The Lions Club Camnival Supports Fine Public Service Display cards announcing the 1949 Lions Club Carnival to b. held Friday, July 15, (ta. rnorrow evening) carry an unobtrusive line at tho very bottom: "For Lions Community Work." Customary advertising of public events of this kind attempt to rally support by f eaturing the sports and carnival attractions arranged for the occasion. It is the time-tried method of getting the people out for an evening's enjoyment, dur- ing which they are glacà to spend any amount they wish in true carnival spirit. This has be- corne the generally accepted xnethod of raising funds among service club organizations. We ofien wonder how inany people who attend these carnivals carry with thema an ap- preciation of just what their patronage connotes. This editorial contribution merely seeks to ex- pand what is meant by the lime "For Lions Conr)- munity Work," for that is the essence of the whole thing. At the moment, the Bowmanville Lions Club holds both the Rynard Trophy and the Belyea Banner, which, together affirmn that "our" Lions are just about tops amang the many clubs in Zone 10 of the province of Ontario. This place has been won through earnest work in this community and in the Zone. To recapitulale the work of the local club in this cammunity would take up far more space than is available at the moment. Establishment of the Lions Community Centre, which has been made available to the public, has filled a long- fpIt neec1. Ovcr 409 meetings were held in the Centre the past year and the Community Council has been qiven frce office space and a f ree phone to pramote its fine public service. Main- tenance of the Centre costs a lot of money above the small revenues received. Thon again the Lions sponsor the Christmas Seal Drive, look after many who require optical treatment, supply talking records for the sight- less, pay most of the cost for a life guard at tb2 h-each, and many more community things which would have fallen into neglect without support of this kind. The Lions Club also sup- plied an X-Bay machine for public use by the County Health Unit. It is these things that The Statesman seeks to bring out on the eve of the carnival to urge support for the splendid work of the Lions Club. Democracy At Its Best According ta officiai returnu compiled by Returning Officer L. C. Mason, the total vote in Durham County in the Dominion eloction held on June 27th, 1949, was the largest in living memory and probably the largest in the election Iiistory ai this co'nstituency. With 18,155 namos on the lists, 14,911 actually voted. A breakdown ai the vote, including every poîl and suli-division, appears in this issue ai The Statesman. The highest percentage ne- corded was ini the Town ai Bowmanville where a mark ai 89.1 was set, and tho loweut 75.7 was registered in Cavan Township, The grand par- centage for the entire county was 82.1, which is probably a near record for the ontire pro- vince. This lu truly an outstanding example ai democracy ait its bout with such a largo per- centage ai votera exercising their franchise. State of Town Finances Calîs For Immediate Survey Following the recent meeting ai Town Council aI which new cammitmentu were brought ta ight in the nature ai debanture obli- gations, The Statesman bas been asked by several taxpayers ta recapitulate the delit posi- tion at the moment and indicate what further spending is in prospect in the near future. Many rawspaper exchanges that corne ta aur office show the same trend ai public concern in the mctter ai municipal finance. In order ta state the case as biefly as passible, the following figures will sum up the case ai the Corporation of Bawmanville: Tax rata before housing and sewer work commenced was 36 mills. Rate struck for 1949 %as 53 milîs, an increase ai 17 milîs. Debenture tiebt at the end ai 1946 had been reduced ta approximately $100,000. Debenture debt at july 1, 1949, stands at $318,759.20. Interest rate ranges from 2 ,i per cent ta 6 per cent. The higher rate governs only upan the balance oi aid debentures, including the High Schaol at 51/2 per cent. Old debentures will soan be iiquid- ated and the higher rate will thon disappear. Looming above this present debenture debt are the new debentures ai $149.000 for the South Ward School and approximately $50,000 for local Improvements such as sewer exten- sions, sidewalks and roads. It is understood these will be approved by the Municipal Board and when issued in the near future the total debenture debt will be $517.759. The large proportion af this, ai course, carnies a campar- atively low intereat rate, but still total& a heavy ainnual outlay. The prospect is that the 53 mili] will have ta be revised upward. Stihi bevond ahi this in the intention ai the Hospital Board ta commence the construction ai the .;. .ircIh Hospital in September, which will :nvclve another debenture issue ai $100.000. cipproved by plebWsite and said to have been THE CANADIAN STATESMAN. BOWMANVTLLE. ONTARIO arpproved by the Municipal Board. This will raine the entire debt ta appraxlxnat.ly $817,759. But there in still more ta be canaldered according ta the stated position in connection with the. town's water supply. It is rumored that the Public Uilitiez Com- mission in considering the prospect af erectinç a new standpipe at a cost of $70,000 as an ac- commodation ta the present water supply fromn Skinner's springs. Finally, if new industries aire ta be attracted, it will be necessary ta go ta the lake for the necessary water supply. The lowest estimate for this project will be more than a quarter million dollars. In view of this suxnmary of the prement and anticipated debt, we believe an experienced commission should be appointed at once ta explore the whole thing and submit a report for the benefit of the council and taxpayers. The New Memorial Arena Now On Public Revenue Footing/i Bowmanville Town Council was given as- surance at its regular July session that their additional backing of $8,000 would be sufficient for the original Memorial Arena Building Com- mittee ta dlean up all outstanding accounts. There is little douLt that the anticipated provin- cial grant will came through in due course ta liquidate most of the civic borrowings and possibly other contributions will take care of the small balance. With all debts cleared, the entire project, as completed, may then'be turned over ta the rink management committee as a pub- licly owned, revenue-producing enterprise. The net cast ta the municipality will probably be less than $20,000. The thing ta do now la ta lay down an ail- year scheme of operations in order ta produce revenues that will go far beyond the annual carrying charges and that may steadily build up resaurces sufficient ta provide an artificial ice plant. As a civic enterprise the Arena will be competing with other interests in the f ield of sports and entertainment. It will therefore b. expected that a scale of rates will be devised by way of rentaIs without discrimination in order to meet a minimum ai budgetary requirements. There will be no trouble about winter pro- gram~mes but much can b. done ta encourage summer patronage. Now that the whole thing has came dawn ta almost final completion, s0 far as the build- ing is cancerned, it is reasanable ta assume that the Building Committe. will make a com- plete public statement by way of a breakdown of the casts of construction and any other details of interest ta the public. The large proportion af the money required was subscribed by the public and in order ta invite cantinued interest and patronage, a general statement would be quite in order. It wauld also be very encour- aging if the new rink management committee could frame up its agenda at the earliest pas- sible date, including a schedule af rates. The Teaching Profession When young people are thinking about careers, teaching is ana that could well receive their careful consideration, says F. K. Stewart, Executive Secretary, Canadian Education As- sociation, writing in The Financial Post. For one thing, the next four or five years will see a great expansion in the educational system. And although salaries are genarally regarded as being not enough (but they are improving) the profession can be regarded as well reward- ing in other directions - in fact, it has been called the most rewarding ai aIl professions. Persoa in other occupations and professions look with some envy at the teacher's allegedly short working hours - irom 9 a.m. ta 4 p.m., five days in the week, with two weeks off at Christmas, 10 days at Easter, and two niontha in the summer. Theso hours are no more indicative ai the time spent at work than the hours 10 ta 3 for bank employees. During the day the teacher must keep at loast 30 lively children activeiy and purposeiully engaged in learning. Wben the school day is over thora are re- ports ta propane, pupil activities to plan, and exorcises ta correct. There are frequently staff meetings ta attend and possibly speclal school projocts ta supervise or promote. But the fact romains, however, that achool hours are still relatively short, and the vacations, particularly in the summer, attractively long. Flow of Free Publicity Filis Ecitor's Waste Basket W. were hoping this spoîl of hot weather would drive the free publicity hounds in city offices from their mahogany desk into the north- ern vacation lands and thus give the editors a breathing spell. However, the paut weekend reveals from statistics that this sort of propa- ganda stili clutters aur desk and waste paper basket. We have came ta the conclusion, too, that we are campelled ta do more reading than writing - and this la explained by the paradox- ical fact that there are other men who are doing more writing than raading. Every day there is a flow of pamphlets, let- tenu, brochures and other forma ai "literature" aven aur desks irom pensons or arganizations at- tempting ta sharpen their axes on aur grindstane. 'Unfortunately for us, from time ta time there are items in this flow ai verbiage which are ai Interest ta aur readers, consequently, we are compelled ta read through virtually everything. Most oaiti, however, is useless. It lu appar- ent that the press representatives. publicity agents, copy writers, etc., who are paid ta ueek fre. publiccty for their products or ideals, do flot read the newspapers, or they would realize how little ai their efforts get into print and how much of it goes into the wastepaper basket - a fili.ng "cabinet" which is sorely over burdened. Last weok, ion example, approximately 60 individual items, aside from personal mail, re- quested information and helpful material from local arganizations, ended up in the editorial of- fice. These ran the gamut f nom a single sheet fram a church in another part ai the country looking for funds, ta a 1,100-page volume on in- surance in Canada.
