PAGE TWELVE THE CANADIAN STÀTEsMAN, EOWMANVILLE. ONTARIO THURSDAY, OCTOBER 19, 1950 Mlayor Suggests Business Photo Mlark Hlall Century's Completion Mayor Lawrence Mason rose at the second annual banquet of the Bawmanville Chamber ai Com- merce held in the Rotary room of the Balmoral Hotel, Tuesday, Oc- tober 10, and suggested that coq- sideration be given ta the pas- sibiiiy ai having a panoramic photograph taken of BÔwman- ville merchants, business andpro- fessional men. In 1901, Mr. Mason told the graup, enterprisîng merchants in town completed such an under- taking. He was af the opinion that in as much as 1951 wauld be the 50th anniversary of the pic- ture takîng, a second sitting would be in order. "The cost should flot be insurmountabie" the Mayor said and later he add- ed. "I don't think that a picture af this nature should be canfided ta the Chamber ai Commerce." He advocated that ail business people be included. The 1901 picture, titled '"Bow- manville Represented," includes 108 ai the leading merchants, business and professionai men in town at that turne. The Mayoi suggested a similar picture be taken in 1951, 50 years later. **It is samething your children will prize and cherish," he said. "ardJ I'm sure we have in Bowrnanvilie now, just as much spirit as had aur predecessors in 1901." Mr. Masan saw no reasan an under- taking of this kind could nat 1.1f carried ta a successful conclusion and please "nat only ourselves, but those who iollow after us in days ta came." Turning ta the Town Cauncil scene, the Mayor said, "I don't propose ta enter into detail on municipal affairs." He did men- tion that there had been out- standing achievements in the town during the past year but added, "nat that the ýouncil tak- es any speciai credit. Reviewing a few of the major achievmnts, he mentioned that this was the first year of Memor- ial Arena. The Bawnranville Memorial Hospital was started in that perlod and is now nearing campletition.

R'ugby Coach- Hands Out Good Advice To Young'Athletes Canadians needn't take a back seat ta any nation in sparts, Frank Clair, U.S. born and train- ed coach of the Toronto Argo- naut Football Club said during a series of football talks on the weekly radio sessions af Sports College. Summing up fundamentals af the gaine for the benefit of young players and their coaches, Clair stressed "condition" and "desire" as the twa mast important factors in football. "I'm impressed with the Canadian boys I've seen," he added. "I like their attitude, campetitive spirit and their abil- ity ta absorb rugged contact, such as you get in hockey." Clair was interviewed by Lloyd A. Percivai, director ai Sports College, a public service produet which distributes coachîng and advice an aIl phases ai sports and physical conditioning through its weekly C.B.C. radia show. The former American pro star who has rebuilt Argos intoaa Gray Cup contender warned high schdol coaches that they often hurt their team's chances by teaching toa many plays. while faîiing ta cancentrate on the fun- damentals af blocking and tacki- ing. "I played on an undefeated team in high school, " Clair said, "and we only had 12 plays." "Adapt your system ta the player, not the player ta the sys- tern," Clair added. "I can always tell when a play- or on1 my tearn bas been well coached in high school because af his attentive attitude and the ha- bits he has braught with him." Clair,.,naw considered one of Canada's top coaches, said the reai secrets ai coaching success are a, sound knowledge ai the game's fundamentals, plus pro- per presentatian and arganization of practices.

Smnocking Classes Started Tuesday At Lions Centre The first meeting ai the smock- îng ciass for ladies interested in fancy work, was beld on Tuesday evening at the Lion's Cammunity Centre, at 7:30. The response ta the classes was not as good as could be expected, for only seven ladies turned out. Last year, there was a total of 33 ladies in the class. The very capable instructress is Mrs. Buchan, who is also in charge of the dressmaking classes an Thursday evenings. Smocking is something whicb is well warth while learning for ail those wamen wbo deiigbt in making their own children's clothes. A littie bit of smocking can make any dress or blouse look prettier. Every lady is weicome ta join the class, and the fee is oniy three dollars for a year. Came out and iearn this fine art, along with the women already enroiied. Lcibor and Prices Are Inseparable (by Jaseph Lister Rutiedge) There is samething rather cur- jaus in the attitude ai mmnd that ieads the Trades and Labour Con- gress ai Canada ta go on record as demanding a 100%ý excess pro- fits tax and price contrais while it is memorializing ail cangress ai- filiates ta drive for substantial wage increases when agreements came up for renewal. It may appear.ta some, and wve tbink witb reason, that in sa ar- guing La bou r is demanding pre- ferentiai treatmnent that cannot abtain under any derqocratic sys- tein»' They are asking for rules ta restrict the 'benèfits of others, while demanding ta be wholly unrestricted theinselves. The public is being, asked ta believe that commodity puices have been arbitrarily pu5hed up- ward Without reason or excuse. Tbey are asked ta believe that ail but a sinali mèasure oai1.p rofit should be arbitrarily withbeid froin those who had pianned an!d worked for it. At the saine time they are memorializing even sat- isfied union mhembers,'ta the end that they shall not remain satis- fied but shahl begin ta press for rewards that ta that moment they have nat tbaught of as eitber nec- essary or just. We think that the public wil be quick einaugh ta see that, just as a Toronto labour leader re- rnarked recently "There's no law wben there's a strike an," so the Congress is urging *preferential treatinent while demanding iess generaus treatment for others. We think that it wili see that labour is demanding the impossible or what is passible oniy if the gen- eral public underwrite demands that are beneficial mainiy ta one graup. There are only- twa ways in whicb'the increasing'wage de- mands that the Congress is urg- ing an its members cauld be met. They might possibiy be paid out ai the profits that labour wants ta prabibit or out ai the increased prices that labbur Wants ta for- bid. It is quite abvious that there,, are no aiternate means ai .assur- ing Labour's-demands. You can't at one turne increase wages and eut off the saurces that provide the wages. Labour is a bit like a dog chasing its own tail. In its enthusiastie purpose it refuses ta admit that the course it is fol- lowing can produce no satisfac- tory resuit while labour is s0 large a part ai ail prices.
