THURSDAY. NOVEMBE 3. 1949 Durham Club, Toronto -Eiders. Second Rail Century With Inf ormative Address on Newfoundlauul New Presjdent Don S. Linden successtully launched the Dur- l3am Club of Toronto on its sec- ond hall century on Thursdayl evening, October 27, at the newly decorated LO.D.E. beadquarters. Miss Bertha Tamblyn, playing her own compositions, accompan- ied Mrs. Dorothy Addison who sang the quiet I'Good Night, Good Morning," the sombre "Grey Rockçs, Gréyer Seas" and the roi- licking "Sail Boat," and "Fish- ini7' sangs, appropriate themes for the address which followed. Rev. E. M. Ho,ýse, S.T.M., Ph.D. D., who succeeded Dr. G. C. Pid- geon as pastor of Bloor St. Unit- ed -Churcb, Toronto, was the..dis- tinguished- speaker transporting the Durham~ Club to his birth place and Canada's tenth province, "Newfoundland." Dr. Howse spoke of the strong attachment we have for our place of birth, but also our interest is great in the lands over the moun- tains and beyond the seas. Gone were the romnantie days af his childhood when the white sails of 150 schooners could be seen at one time. From 1497, when John Cabot first saw Cape Bona Vista, historicaily Newfoundland was the beginning of the new world, the oniy outpost for 1000 years. For this great discovery John Cabot received ten pounds sterling fromn bis King.

Iiiustrating th~ part Newfound- land played in tie past Dr. Howse mentioned establishing the f irgt Court of Justice; the first Atlantic Cable and Marconi's first wire- less message went from her shores as did Capt. Colin Campbell and bis 180 Newfoundianders ta heip reliéve the siege af Quebec. He told ai her eight unusuai forrns af gavernment whase elections neyer were duil. In a perverse manner ber Government sat on the leit because in the first House the stave was an the le! t side af the oam; the Opposition sat an the ight in a chillier atmosphere. Fisb, mines and paper made hem wealthy. Hem people owned their own bornes and were not poar until the depression. Then such great poverty resulted that New- foundland went bankmupt. The people af the British Isies came ta the rescue, aised their taxes in Britain and paid Newfound- land's debts. The subject, baving been broach- ed several times without success, it was not until the fourth ap- proach that New!aundland de- cided ta take Canada into Con- federation. This union, Dm. Howse continued, was not forced by bombamdment ofCbattleships frorn the sea nom the infiltration by quizzlings and radia on the shore, but was produced thmaugh states- manship. It was not the case o! a littie nation being booted by fear into union with a larger one, but was a democratie partnership bougbt about through the dis- cussions of! a gmoup o! men who quietly met together. It was a milestone and Newfoundland rich in ice-fre barbours, iran are, timber, uniimited watem for harse- power and as an air base centre, thmough hem own exertians in the future could inspire by example bath berseif and the Empire, Dm. Howse concluded. The technicolor movie, "Sentinel o! the Atlantic," prajected by Mm. Black showed the bleakness o! a land foever battling the Atlantic storms; whose mcky shores shel- tered the homes of fisher folk with their catches drying in the sun; whose indented coastline was, said ta be greater than that o! the U.S.A.; whose great city o! St. John's was built up thmough the Cod fish industmy. Evemywbeme was blue water, grey rocks and the tang o! the sea, the essence o! Newfoundland. Mm. D. W. Armstrong express- ed ta Dr. Howse the warrn ap- preciaition ai the members for bis talk. Mrs. Mary Sketch, accompanîed by Mms. Darothy Addisoni, con- cluded the programme by singing the favorite "Last Rase o! Sum- mer" and appropiately "Ode ta Newfoundland."' Miss Gladys Jackson, convener for the bastess Group 1, welcomed the members ta the refresbment boum, and was assisted by Miss Stella Washington and Miss Edith Cowan who poured coffee.

Junior Farmers' Market The Idea of having a Junior Farmers' mtirket in Bowman- ville may be a new idea or it may be a lufe long drearn of the aider people o! the tawn. Since 1 arn young I do not know. But I can not see that At would do any harm in any way to the town. Let's consîder the many ways in which it would be of help to bath tawn and rural folk. In the first place, as we ail know, wheri we think of vegetables or fowl, etc., 'being really fresh, we think of them being purchas- ed frorn the market bright and early in the morr.ing. The rural folk o! these towns who are fartunate enough ta own a market wark late the night before getting their pro- duce ready s0 that everything is as frash as possible when At is put up fOr sale the fallowîng M IDEAL FOR CHRISTMAS GIFTS Morning. You may argue that this wil hurt the grocery ?nan's trade. I- doubt it, for .the great increased number of people. wha wil»be in tawn, on. market- day wil doubtiess buy çther merchan- dise from hi» store which will counteract the fruit. and vege- tables, etc.,> which bave been bought at the market. Mean- while the rural folk are being weii paid for their bard labour in growing and preparing their products. When I first heard ai a farm market being .started in Bow-; manville 1 thought ai the things that a person usuaily selis at a mnarket. And then I began ta wonder since there, is no age limit, if 1 couldn't grow some- thing in -a corner of the garden at borne and seli somçthing and make same spending m6ney' of my very own. Probably I can learn ta cook. and. take cakes and pies and seli ,them at.. the market. I am sure they woulci be rnuch jresher than some Wé have ibought from the* stores. My *brother tbinks he wili get same chickens and take fresh eggs and probably later dressed fowl ta thé market, They ougbt ta seli weUl. I can nat but tbink taa, ai we rural folk going in ta town and gLNtting ta know. the town folk and they buy from us, and we buy fromf themi and we are likea farnily working 'together for the good af all. We will build a better tawn and a better com- rnunity mare* independent1 of the outside world and everytody will be busier, Yes, but happier, and rnore prasperous. Sa frorn the viewpoint ai bath toWn and rural folk, I think a farrn matket' in Bowrnanville would be a big step in communi- ty advIncemen't.
