"If you are too busy ta sing *. . you are too busyl' this was the theme of a dynamie anti hum- orous message brought ta the Bowmanvilie Rotary Club by A. C. "Chappie" Chapman at, their regular meeting on Frîday at the Balmoral Hotel. Mr. Chapman, whon' arolunti the five foot mark antflmlîost as wide, spoke on his J4,.on o!

They were instrumental in forming the Tromonto Chapter o! S.P.E.B.S.Q. S.A. To get the Rotaians in the right mental attitude as a starter a quartet compmising Messrs Chap- man, Gardiner, Chase anti Mc- Gregor sang a selection. ,,Spread the Gospel Mr. Chapman in his introduc- tory remarks thanketi the mem- bers o! the club for inviting him ta Bowmanville anti giving himf the privilege o! speading thej gospel of "B.S" or Barber Shop- pers. Over haif a century ago hè hati his first experience with barber shop quartets when as a boy in Wingham he had the seat f 'ýhis trousers warmeti/ for being late for supper as he hati stoppedti t listen ta a quartet in a neighbor- ing barbershop. But at this meet- ing he was gaing ta talk about barber shop quartets as anc of the greatest mavements for the promotion of brotherbooti of this century. When referring ta these graups mast people think of four ineb- iates, under a lamp post, sing- ing "Sweet Adeline." This was one o! the greatest, If not the greatest problem, in living dawn this unfortunate inference. In fact the society banned the singing of it among its member groups for over twa yeqrs. Formed in V.S.A. The S.P.E.B.S.Q.S.A. was first formeti in Tulsa, Oaklahoma, il years ago when a meeting o! 8 barbershoppers was caileti anti aver 20 turneti up. Since that time the membership has increas- eti ta over 40,000, formed into 650 chapters anti 14 districts of which Ontario is one. At present the organization is growing at the rate of 100 chapters a year. Al- ready there are 25 chapters in Canada anti mare are being formeti. Throughout the society a great frientiship anti loyalty hýas tievel- apeti among its members. Mr. Chapman citeti a case of a man going some 40 miles fron his home ta attend a meeting anti get- tîng home late. His wife became worried anti sent telegramns ta three of bis frientis asking if he was there. In a short time the hushanti came home,, anti just a!ter, three identicai wires were receiveti stating tlie husbant i as staying at three frientis' homes overnight.j Notable Members Barbershappers loak like ardin- amy human beings but are very (Continueti on Page Eight) ,Hospital Off iciais Seek More Facts About Building Melville S.

Helicopter Makes Forced Landing Necir Pontypool An engine-failure forced a Hy- dro inspection-helicopter to make an unscheduled landing in a field five miles southwest of Pontypool, Thursday. Although the aircraf t hit' a tree during its descent, there wvas only slight damage done and Smith Pruner, pilot, and James Riddell, observer, were uninj ureti. The helicopter was doing a west-bourid patrol of the power lines passing south of Pontypool when, the pilot relàted, the en- gifle set up such a vibration that he decided ta gain altitude. But, before he attained 200 feet of altitude the vibration was sa rough he had ta close the throt- tie and make a forced landing. The landing was made in a pas- ture on Gabriel Kovac's farm, on the town line between Manvers and Darlington Townships. While inspecting lines for the Ontario Hydro Electrie Power Commission it is necessary to fly about 100 feet above ground- level so broken insulators may be seen, it was explained. That was why the helicopter was so low when the trouble developed. As the craft came in for the landing, wires and trees had to be dodged without excessive manoeuvring which might have lost enough al- titude to keep themn from making the fieldi. With the exception Mf the one tree hit, the pilot was very successful in his venture. The only damage done was scrapes on each of the top rotor biades, caused by clipping the tree.

In spite of the pubiicity given it by the C. of C. and the hard work of some members of the Junior Farrilers' Forum, there was a poar response to their initial endeav- our to esta'biish a weekly market. Local representatives of farm machine manuifacturers provided a fine display of the latest in tractors and other impiements. The W, H. Brown dispiay trailer of eiectric water systems and milking apparatus was a point of particular interest, especialiy to those who, iike,the writer, are nat too famniliar with modern farmi methods. There were a few tables ot produce, which included vege- tables, large quantities of apples and eggs ,but according to one of the young farmers business xvas very slow. He thought it improb- able that a weekiy market couid be organized at present. For those who were at ail interested ini ordering their Christmas fow, one farmer had caged a live tur- key as a sample. At intervals during the day movies on varied subjects were presented by Mr. Cecil Carveth at the north-east end of the arena. There were travel films on Banff andi Switzerland, one on rats, another on the growth of the frog and a most informative pic- ture explaining the growth of the orange from the blossom stage ta fruition, andi the methods oi can- ning the juice of this popular fruit. A number of attractive young ladies, who are associateti with the Junior Farmers' Forum, operated the popular lunch counter during the day. Mouth- watering cakes, fiaky pies andi fragrant coffee provided nourish- ment to would-be purchasers, anti those who assi'sted in operat- ing the market. B3y early afternoon 18 Junior Farmers hati gathered their prize calves at the west door of the Arena for the Caîf Show. Mil- ford White's Baby Beef was awarded the Grand Champion-ý ship by Judge Everett Brown of Orono, andi won a cake valueti at' $5.

The agreement provides for two more legal holitays each year for the men working in the foundry -May 24 and Dominion Day. These two atiditional holidays bring to a total of eight the num- ber of legal holidays enjoyed by the men every year. The minimum wage for labor- ers in the foundry was raised two cents an hour, from 78e ta 80c. In addition, the rates of laborers anti several other classifications of workers wili be raised as soon as the exact figures can be agreed upon. Other matters continued from previaus agreements include the 45-hour working week, vacation- with-pay plan andi provisions for overtinfie premium payments. This agreement will ruri until Sept. 1, Twin Stark Apples And Huge Egg Make Real Novelties We have came to the conclusion, that if you stay around the Statesman Office long enough, you are likely ta see aimast anything. For instance - the other morning W. Nowak, R.R. 6 Bawmanville, paid avisit ta the editor. Untier- neath his arm was tucked a very ordinary small cprdboard box... but you shoultihave seen its con- tents. There were .!our apples in it. No, flot ardinary apples, the common gartien-variety sort, but very special apples . . . Siamese twin Stark apples, gmown in aur visitar's own orchard. Ta the de- light of Mr. Nowak, we expressed aur surprise at such unusual specimens. Then he produceti from the littie box an egg three inches long, neariy 41/2 inches in tiiaqieter, anti weighing 4 azs. This jumbo 'hen fruit" was laid by an eight-month-olti puilet, a Necw Hampshire crasseti with a Bereti Rock. It's gaing ta maké a deliciaus omelet for someane.
