PAGE SIX T~E CANAD!Mi STATESMAN, EOWItANVILLE, O1~TARIO ~ THURSDAY, I5êR~2! Oth, 1S8 Information About LIquid Fertiizers Owing ta lncreased numbera af requests for information pertain- ing ta liquid fertilizers, the Ontar- la Fertilizer Board has released the following statement: "Liquid. fertilizers disregarding cast are very canvenient for house plant use, greenhouses, etc. A gallon of commercial liquid fertilizer containing approximate- ly 21'/ pounds of actual plant foad costa approxlmately $5.00. The same quantity of plant food ln the dry formn costs around 30 cents, On a ton basis, a 5 -10- 5 fertilizer in the dry torm costs ap- proximately $45.00, The same quantity o! plant food in the form of liquid fertilizer costs over $800.00.,, "To date, there is no experi- mental evidence under Ontario conditions ta indicate that lîquid fertilizers have any more bene- ficial affects on growth of tarm crops than ordinary dry tertiliz- ers o! the sama analysis when properly applied." "«Those desîning a liquid terti- lizer solution are referred ta page 27 of bulletin 463, Soil Manage- ment and Fertilizer Use." -You mnay obtain a copy of this bulletin from your Agricultural Repres- entative." Carelessness Caruse 0f Most Accidents On the Higlxways "Maple Grave is a bad area for car accidents," dlaims Pro- vincial Police Constable Albert Kitching. "This is strange, too, because It la such a straight stretch." lie believes that when the driver reaches this length af straight highway ha relaxes his attention and steps up bis speed. A number ai accidents occurr- lng at Maple Grave are due ta cars pulling carelessly out from aide roads, or ta cars suddenly pulling acrass the road ta enter the parking grounds af Cofee Shp.Coffe Causes Crash Cons. Kitching recalled the case of a woman who was travelling at a fain spaed along the Maple Grave stretch when she decided ta eut across the highway ta have a cup of cottee. She did this without thinking of any other car on the road. In har mind thene was just the thought oi having her snack. She collided wvth a car from the opposite di- rection. It is scatterbrained thinking or carelessness which cause the mai arity . aiaccidents in Canada, claixna Cons. Kitching. Mn. Kit- ching bas bean in Canada tram England for only two years. He sald that when ha tfirst came over here he was shocked at the high speed af the» cars. Less Spead iEngland In England it la custamary for cmr to run along at a top speed of about 40 miles per hour. The number ai accidents is very much less, and the damage ta cars is correspondingly smail. When ac- cidents occur here the spaed Is atan enough ta demolish a car. Evan the best drivers same- times run into unprecedented conditions. Truck drih'ers with aver twenty years' driving exper- ienca will suddenly find them- selves confronted with an inde- cîsive niovement on the part ai aprivata car owner. The resuit niay be tragic. Freak Accident A few months aga a driver of a private car panicked when he1 reached a sidaroad where anathen car was waiting ta enter the traffie ai the main highway. It backed up with its rear jutting acrass the white lune. A trans- port driver with 17 years ai per- fect drivlng swerved ta avoid the car and careened for sevaral hundrad yards down the road ater hitting a soft shoulder. The massive vehicle then struck another car arriving on the scene, fell on it and crushed the machine. Ail because the driver slowlng ta enter the sideroad panicked at the sight of the car walting ta came out. EolaryClub (Continued fram Page One) the case of a boy namned Lanry. Two years aga Lanry, wha la keenly interested lu taking things apart ta sea what mokas them wark, was removlug th~e parts oi a Luger pistai. The 'gun went aft and the bullet passed tbraugh the bay's abdomen ta bis spine. For mantha ha was near death, but ha miraculously pu il ed through.

Ha is naw using the sama dur- iosity and akili which gat hlm in trouble with tbe Luger, but in a constructive way. Ha la learning the trade af watchmaking. Ha bas turned out ta be very capable' ,pt this work, and bas already bean pnomised a job wlien ha leaves the school. Independence Desired The goal ai all cnlpplad people, and ai Vaniety Village la camplete indepandence. The crippled boy wants ta feel that ha can maka bis awn way. fia neads halp at the start, but when ha bas master- ed bis trade ha wants ta be lait alona. Mr. Jackson bas a tbrce-!old duty. Ha salects the boys tram among the number wbich apply for training, givas them academ- ic trainipg, and then places tbem ln jobs in the business world. Start ai Village How did Variety Village get its start? A group ai membars ai the entertalamant profession got together ta decide what tbey could do in the way ai public san- ice. Tbey decided on the initia- tian oi a Vocational Guidance Scbool ton cnipplad ebldran. Vaniety Village school is tram- andausly expansive ta rua. Each boy needa individual attention. Twanty-four boys are clothad and ted and taught at fia cost to them- salves.- Their transportation ta and tram home la paid. The ul- timata goal oi the pramatena ai the Village la an establishment oi 96 studants. Dasire 96 Students Only ana wing now exista, but it la hoped that eventually four wings, each housing and accomo- dating 24 studeats, will ba in aperatian. Two wings will taka cane ai the boys and two the girls. There are no girls there at pres- ent. Dr. Ken Rogers is sacretary o! the Board ai Directors ai Vaniaty Village. Ha plans to accapt un- fortunate boys who can benafît tram. the specialized training ai- tered. Any boy can apply for entrance into the course. Llmlted Enrolment The registrar la iacad with a tough pnoblem lu deciding an the boys wbo are ta enter. Not ail cnipples can benetit fnom the training. Some ai tbem bave poralyzad arma and banda. And sinca the Échool emphasizes the manual aspect ai training, there la almoat ro place for thase in- capable ai maving their fingars. The speaker strassed thot Vani- efy Village la not a hospital or reat bomne, but a achool. Only those wbo dan benefit tram the educational acharne are salected. Thare ar four cenabrol polsy students at the Village. It was wondered et first if thase studants ti New Wood Products Maie Beautiful Sunroom Deputy Reeve Frank Jamieson recently remodglled novel combination storage box and seat and the handy part of bis home on Wellington Street and added a new shelves.

Howard Biekie, contractor for the covered with the new B.C. plywoad "Sylvaply" obtained job, dlaims that the new wood is extremely easy to work through the Sheppard & Gi Lumber Co., Bowmanville. with and is durable as well giving a new modern appearance. The top picture shows the new stone fireplace with the -Photos by H. MacDonald could be successfully taught. But aitar axpenimentation it waa tound that there is some hope for those wha are less spastic. Crack Athiata Crippled There ara several amputation cases, two ai them being double- amputations. One young tellow tram Ottawa teil out a street car window and bath bis legs wae sevcned below the knae. You can imagine the bitternesa and disappointment which resultad wheni you undanstand that ha bad been a crack athiete at Liagan Collegiate, excalling in football, hockey and skiing. The biggest job involvad in teacblng hlm at the Village xvaso the effort ta aid hlm in adjusting ta bis new way ai lita. Another boy hast both bis legs ot a vany eorly aga in an accident in a binden. Ha tald the teachers at the achool that ha doesn't know whera bis parents are since tbay lait hlm ta tend tan bimacli nat long aiter the accident. Ha la now leorning the troda ai dabinet making, and being a fine spedi- mca ha promises ta develop into an exceptionally useful member ai sodiety. New Typas Givan Chance Besides the obove-mantianed thare are two single amps, threa on tour polio vîctims, tbree or four spastica, and others who hava fallen victim ta unfortunate cjuirks ai tata. The Village ataff doesn't know what can ba donc witb some ai the boys until they give tham a trial. Vaniaty Village la proud toaon- nounce that alneady ana membarý has graduated ta a useful occupa- tion, The school started anly laat November, and this boy is a pra- mature matriculant. Altbougb only 18 yeans aid, ha la employed at a salory ai $35.00 par week. Unusuai Artistic Git When ha was first discoveredý ha was a wizened little tallow living ln conditions ai squalon. It wos found that ha possassed considerable natural artistic abil- ity. Ha is now amployad with the Multilith Company on naga-ý Lves, a job requiring a skill which vcry iew people can ex- hibit. Thesa baya bave ta be trained ta become independent. Many ai them hava bean babied aven sinca their maladies came upon tbem. Voicty Village gives tbem absolutaly fia pity. The techers are there ta belp, not ta nurse, said the speaker. The other day a boy lost a crutch while propclling himself and taîl ta the floor. An instruc- ton was an hand, but ha madaefia motion ta pick hlm up., The boy sot unhurt on the floor waitiag ta be picked up. When no as- sistance arrived, ha strugglad ta bis tact and procaedad an bis way. The instructor wonted ta help hlm up, bavlng the some feeling ai sympathy as any ai the read- ers. But, had ha donc so ha wauld bave destroyed some ai the confidence thot the training had built up la hlm. Boys In Gaod Health The matran ot the village lsaa troinad nurse, who previously non a hospital in Vancouver. AI- though the boys ara handicapped in certain ways, for the moat part they are kapt la excellent baalth, kaaping free oi most ai the con- taglous diseoses plaguing autaide cbildren. This, ai course, is partly due ta the comparative isolation ai the young tellows. Said Mr. Jackson, "Thera la fia other job I'd soonar do. i wouldn't trade places with any other teachen la the profession." It la bis pleosure ta sea bitter and helpîcas cbildren bacome atnong and brigbt and optimistic. They bava two strikas on them ta start with, but tbey ail, ta a large dagrea, overcama thein difficul- tics. Rotary la Big Haip' If thera ara any such young fallows la Bowmanvilie they should be encauroged toaopply for entry inta Variety Village. 90e1 ai the boys now attending ana irom groupa sponsared by Rotary Clubs. "Wa ai Voiaty Village are glad ta ba able ta wonk with yau," said Mr. Jackson ini conclu- sion. .George Cawker movad a vote ai thanka which was passed on by Walt DeGeer aiang with a Rotary automatic pencil. Garnet Rick- ard asked that the film on aduca- tion be sbown ta the rural popula- tion ai the district. Coal Shortage <Contiauad tram Page One) and caused a greater damand this Wiater on the stocks whîch were deplated by the coal strike. Instead ai gaing down, tbey predicted the pnicea; are dctinitaly going up. It la, tharefore, wise ta buy coal at any pnice whan it con ha had. The bard cool trouble bas nun parallel ta the sait cool strîka. It la believed that the bard cool miner bas.shortenad bis warking waek tram five ta tbrea days, and fram 8-hour ta a 5-hour day. At the prasent rate af mining bard coal the stocks wlll continue ta go down. Hard Coai Long Needed The bard cool shortage bas been evidant for langer thon the soit cool strike, bowayar, the 3-day weak bas bean in etiact tor quite same tîma. This dealar bas a supply ai coke', and blowar cool, which sbouid last for two weeks. Calis bave came' in tram as tan as twanty miles away, and many ordans bave been pbonad la tram Newtonvilla, Tyrone, Burketon and Enniskilicn. Walt DeGear, manager ai Sbep- pard & GilCa., stated, "Going back ta the mines doasn't nepre- sent immediate relief ta Bowr-nan- ville. The new coal wan't ha banc in tima ta beat the famine." Ha was referning ta the cessation ai the coal stnika bast Friday. The sattiamant ai the necant strika doas not change the an- thracite pictuna. The anthracite minera have nat bean on stnike. Yat there la an acute shortage la this departmant. Short Week Causes Shortaga Hard cool miner a mka tram $3.00 ta $3.50 pan hour and don'ti bava ta work more thon threet daYs ta pay thair bis. It ila ha- lieved that tbey work approx- imately 15 hours par week. At the rata ai $3.50 per bour, they would draw $52.50 par weak. Beyond this amaunt thair taxas would be higher than tbey would like ta pay. Eighty par cent a! the demanda ai Bawmanviila househaldars la ton anthracite. If the soit cool miner bad neyer gone an stnike it wouldn't have mode much dit- farenca in the bard cool situation, dlaims Mr. DaGeen. John L. Lewis la just responsible for the bituminous shontage. Shipments Sharply Cut At present, the anthracite minas are shipping coal only on ana day par waak. The arrangement with the mina awnens made by Shep- pond & Guila i for the delivery ai six carloads ai cool per montb. But ln the past six montha cool deliveries bave dwindled stap by step until lu the pat two, montha, January and February, anly thrae out of the axpacted twelve loods were dellvened. Mn. DeGean believas that thera la a carload an the way. But bas fia guarantea ai this siace the United States Government bas givea autbority ta U.S. officiais ta confiscate shipmcnts for use in the areas naeding cool the moat. Schools have been clased in Buf- tala ton twa waaks. It is likelv that areas like that in which the cool shartage la critical will ba senviced tirat when coal is again available. Dock Piles Almast Gone Three-quarters ai the bard cool supply comas inta the distnibut- ing points by boat. Ordinaniiy the stocks on the docks ara odequate ta meat the hausebold cool demanda. But these piles bave dwiadled ta almost nothing. Mn. DeGearý beliavas that; these stocks will ha naplanished befr rail dalivenies are rasumed. ic ail cool brought iata Bowmanville is transportad by rail it would seem that thîs onca will bave ta waît somewhat longer thon ather- wise axpected. At the Sheppard & Giîl cool yards there la nathing lait axcapt ronge coke and pa cool. And this will ba deplated by the mid- di.e of tts weel. Orders aiready ditions.

Trafiic travelo much tac, closély, flot al- lowimg enough space for amer- gencies at thc hlgh speeds ai the cars. Failure ta dim lights at uight la also anc of the causes af mishapa. Truck Drivera Courteous As a rul. truck drivers are much better thon the average auto driver. They offar more courtasy than the usuai pivate driver. The truck driver almost invariably dinis his lights at night wheu approaching oncam- Ing traffic. And whenever there is an accident not involving hlm- self ha offers help ta the pensons lu trouble. But there ara many generaus drivers from amang the ranka ai pnivate owners. -Many a time such a driver bas affered the use ai bis car ta transport the injurad ta Uic nearest haspital, or ta spaed news ai the accident ta the nearest police unit.

Coming trom the man who is creditec with having been primarily res- ponsible for the discovcry of at- ornic energy, that warning la e11 the more authentic ami ser- loua for mankind.

With ai. life destroyed, the earth would be as dcsolate and dead as the moon. Alexander Pope, in his "Essay an Man" seema to have predicted uuch a fate when hc wrote: Atoms and systems into ruin hur]ed. And now a bubble bursts, and naw a world. There is more talk today about "secuTity" and more schemes and efforts ta achieve it than there bas ever been before in the his- tory of mankind. And yet there was neyer before a time when there was less security. It would seem that the more men seek for security in this world the further it recedes fram them. This is because the very foundation upon which men propose ta build their permanent Utopias is always in- secure. The glanies of our blood and state Are shadows, flot substantial things. The truth of those line of Shirley is braught vividly home to us when we think of the devastating possibilities of the hydragen bomb. In a news dispatch from London about the general alec- tion, wie are told that back of all British minds lies this question: "What daes the welfare state mean if our livas and the lives of our children are to be blotted out tamorrow?" Ror the First World War, Rbert Blachiord, the brilliant and popular British Socialist, asked the same question. He had held Up ta the British Warkers the vision of a Socialist Utopia, and when he saw that vision fad- ing in the shadow af the "German Menace" ha turned to the Right, and was eventually converted tram athaism ta spiritualism. He realized that there was no lasting basis of security and humnan wel- tare in materialismn. "They that deny a God," wrate Bacon, "des- troy man's nobility; for certainly a man is kin ta the beast by bis body; and if ha is hot km ta God by bis spirit, he is a base and ig- noble creature." It has becomne a platitude ta say that the anly hope for the sal- vation af the souls of men is in the Gospel of Christ; but that is now equally true af the salvation of men's bodies and their mater- ial domain. The old-time evan- gelists were scotfed out ai the pulpit for preaching heli-fire; but their bell was in the naxt world, and it was at least habit- able. Here is the latest descrip- tion af the possible effects of the hydrogen bomb: 'Given the riglit conditions, explosion of an H.bomb could turn us ail into littie suns, probably in less than 60 sec- onds attar the blast. Our world would then be just another star in space." That is not the wild imagining placed will absorb all ai the above, and there is a long waiting jlist.

The first question for discus- >sion W.as "Do yau agree or dis- 'agree that the demand for higher rindustrial wages harms the farm- *er?" ta which this Forum made answer: "Higbar industnial wages do harm the farmer unless he can get highar pnices for his pro- ducts." To the question "Have formera more free tima the year round than industnial workers?" the answer was iorthcaming that the tarmer can always iind sameth.lng ta do and it was a puzzle same- times ta tind wbich was the most urgent job. It was remarked that the tarmars sometimes flnd time ta go dean bunting, but who would deny the bard-wonking tarmar this relaxation? The third question wai "Are labour unions against the inter. asta ai agriculture?" This Forum thought thay had a tendency ta make'the tarma labourer discon- tented. Thera was a good discussion over the radio whan' the pointu o! viaw ai bath the farmer and the industnial worker were well aired, the cost ai living ln the city being mantioned, whan the farmar remarked: "I suppose you're suggesting that food pnices are too bigh?" The refit for housing was anothar question the industnial worker mantioned as against the home which most tarmers awnad, but the farmers found taxas were very high at the presant tima. The farmaf' also bas the purchase ai cquip- ment and it's upkeep. Racreation time followed the discussion and aur hostess, Mns. Chas. Thompson, served retraah- ments.
