hte~tu~rn "Durham County's Qveat Fctmily Journal", 'VOLUME 95 BOWMANVILLE, ONTARI09 THURSDAY, SEPTEMflER 29th, 1949 6c PER COPYNMER3 P~tryDistrict Governor J. Gooch Pays Officiai Vist to Local Club Praises Work Doue During Yean The Bowmanville Rotar-y Club was honored by the presence o: District Governor John W. Gooch, who ~made his officiai visit while vislting clubs in district No. 247, at their meeting at the Balmora. Hotel, Friday noon. He is the first piesident of the reorganized dis- trict, which now includes 45 clubs. Previous to Mr. Gooch's intro- duction, six members of the club were extended congratulations for various reasons. To begin with, Bob Stevens, a past-presi- dent, was given a bouquet of roses on the occasion of his 73rd birth- day. While he was stili taking a bow, Lou Dippeil suggested that Bob be repaid in some manner for his special contribution that day of the apple juice used as an appe- tizer at the meal. The idea car- ried in that each member was fined lOc to go to the Crippled Children's Fund. Secretary Bill Rudeli came forward next wîth attendance pins for four members *who have a total of 46 years per- fect attendance at Rotary meet- ings. Mel Dale lias flot missed a meeting for 8 years, Art Hardy for 9, George James for 21 and Ross Stutt for 8 years. The final presentation eventu- ally evolved into a two-way pro- position. Past president Dave Morrison was called upon to do the honors and drew hearty ap- plause and laughter with his i-en- dition of congratulations to Frank Jamieson, whose family was in- creased by one bouncing boy ast week. After Dave had presented a carton fiiled with individual gifts from members, and Presi- dent Walt DeGeer had brought forth a blanket froriq the club as a whole, Frank graciously ack- nawledged the gifts on behalf of Mrs.. Jamieson and himself by passing a box of chocolates and a box of Havana cigars among the members. Then, with a haze of cigar smoke settling over the room, .Fresident Walter introduced the îÎtrict Governor, Mr. Gooch, à iden*t and Qieneral Manager o± the Canadian Metal Window * and Steel Products Company, To- ronto, was born in London, Eng-. land, and attended Denstone Col- lege at the University of London. He came to Canada many years ago and, since then, has played a promninent part ix 'many phases of Canadlian 111e. In the business world, he is Honorai-y Treasurer and *?ast President of the Toron- ta Builders' Exchiange, a Past- President and member of the Exe- cutive cammittee of the National Construction Council of Canada, and has been a member of the Management Committee o! the Canadian Construction Associa- tion for 25 years. In addition to these dutiee, he is a member of the Executive- Committee of the Canadian National Council a! the Y.M.C.A. and a Governor of the Toronto Y.M.C.A., as well as a Director of t.he Ontario Society for Crîppled Children. Since 19271 le las been a member of Toronto Rotary Club and is a past-presi- dent and past Honorai-y Treasurer of that club. He served Rotary International in 1944-45 on the Canadian Advisory Committee. Rotar-y Secretariat Mi-. Gooch opened lis address with words of praise for Walt DeGeer, who got ail the facts of! Mr. Gooc's life absolute~t cor- rect on the first tattempt. This, lie said, was the fi-st time it had happened in some 24 introduct-i ions given him on his present tour.1 He extended greetings in behaif of other clubs le has visited and1 also gave the best wishes o! Percyi Hodgins, president of Rotary In-c ternational. He lad been in Cli-l bcago recently wlere le visited ,fthe secretariat of Ratai-y Interna- ktional. He urged members ta make euse af this office, which is design- - d ta answer questions and at- tempt ta salve ahi problems per- Staining ta. Rotai-y Clubs every- where. Local and International Speaking o! thc Rotai-y as a * local, national and international Iunit and organization, Mi-. Gooch spraised thc work donc in past iyears and lcld it up as an example -ta be follawed by ail clubs. As an sexample o! wlat can be donc by -a single smaUl club, le told what àlad, been accomplîsîed by the tMinden Rotai-y in the past year- rthe total assets ta the community ibeing valued in tlousands o! dol- *lars-and tIen said that Minden lad only been formed the year sbefore and is made up of only 19 imembers. . 1 Thc cluB ahso works internation- ially, le explained, and le used as an example work that lad been done by the Toronto Club ta aid war ai-plans in France last year. LThis work could not lave been ,effectivehy cairicd out without 1the aid o! somebody in France, but there was a Rotai-y Club in Normandy which was re-!ormed slioit][y after the end of the war and it was tîrough thern that the 0work was donc. TIc Toronto group prepared boxes o! badhy needed goods and sent them ta the French club, wlo saw tlat tley were properly distributed among tlose who lad necd of them. 1Weekly Meetings1 Mi-. Gooch finished lis address w.kh a short commentai-y on the activity o! Rotary Clubs at thei; weekly meetings. He fet the meetings couid le broken down nto four parts, with twa major effects accomplished. The infor- mai friendliness o! the luncheon and thc community singing fol- lowing that, tend ta produce a feeling o! feilowship among the men whicl is car-ied out inito their everyday ile and used there ta advantage. The announcements o! the president, concerning lis own and otîci- clubs, and the speaker o! the day, aller the opportunity ta broaden the viewpoints o! thc members concerning tIc world about themn and the activities o! other Rotai-y Clubs and outside arganizations. He mentibned the fact tlat At was not always desir-t able ta lave frequent autsidc Speakers. He urged that moi-e sub-c jects on Rotai-y le given tîcirc club.b He stressed the importance o! the club bulletins, which keepg everyone posted on the activitiesg o! other members and committees and therdby stimulate ahi clubs activities. He was o! *thc opiniont that it would be beneficial toa have an interchange a! bulletinss between ahi clubs in the district,v Province or country, but realized l this would le extremely castlya and diîficult because o! the largeb number o! clubs in existence. t Mutual Appreciation e As le camne ta the end af lis0 talk, Mi-. Goocl presented a spec-h ially-fi-amed copy o! the Rotai-yu Code of Ethics and a desk-plaque,9 whicl outlined the Aims af Ro-h tai-y, ta President DeGeer wlo, in turn, gave tIe District Governor s a gi!t by which le might remem-M ber lis frîends o! tIc Bawmnanvihle f Rotai-y Club.'I Vice-president Howard RundleS delivered a few words o! appreci-E ation ta the speaker. backed byb the applause o! lis coileagues, and with that the meeting adjourncd ta the Lions Community Centre whcre Clairmen o! the variaus cammittees held a conference with the District Governor. Recruiting To Commence For Midland Regi. It will be seen in anather col- umn of this issue that intensifica- tion of the Midland Regiment re- cruiting campaign will commence 1Thursday, Oct. 4t1, when mem- bers of the Administration and Training staff will be posted in Bowmanville, Newcastle, Mill- brook, Bewýdley, Coîborne and Brighton ta answer questions and provide relevant information. The move wvill be accompanied by local advertising and a poster display. The places ta be thus canvassed are without adequate accommo- dation for training and until this can be provided, vehicles from Port Hope wiil be stationed at tlese points ta pick up personnel and bring them into the local ai- mouries, ar-iving about 7:30. Next Tuesday, Major Green, D. A.A. and Q.M.G., fi-rn Kingston, will meet the officers in charge o! armouries at Orono, Black- stock, Norwood and Millbrook ta discuss the administration of these buildings. Tractor-Trailer Turns Over At Overhead Bridge Sof t shoulders on No. 2 high- way, west of Bowmanville, were the cause of another accident Sunday night, when a tractor- trailer owned by Carol Shows, Inc., skidded off the road just nortl of the overhead bridge and turned over on the embankment. The driver, G. Hoffen, 251 Sherbourne Street, Toronto, was not at ail sure how the accident occurred. His statement to the police w4s ta the effect-that he was just going up the incline ta the bridge and shiftînýg gears when the trailer slid off the road onto the shoulder. He tried ta, get the truck back on the road but it kept sliding fai-ther off until it was on such an angle that it tippcd over. Police Ohief S. Venton investi- gated and could find no other logical reasan why the truck slould have gotten into the posi- tion it was in. No charges hTave been laid.

Althougl thc fund was collect- ed hast spring and raugh plans and specifîcations were drawn up tIen, no definite action lad been taken, becausce of the architect's esti- mate of the cost. which was in the neighborhood o! $400,000. This es- timate exceeded the amount of cash on hand by sudh a quantityi that members of the Board wcrc almost ready to let the wholc mat- ter drap for the present. However, Melville Dale, Chairman of the Board, and the Hospital Director, made a number of inquiries of building contractors lere, and in adjacent cities, and found ail their estimates ta le bclaw $300,00 and definitely within tIc powers oaf the Boarid ta pay. Wlcn this was faund out, the Board agreed ta have the final plans and blueprints drawn up ,and ta caîl for tenders ta deter- mine tIc exact cost o! the las- ,:pital.
