Survey Is Demanded The most recent survey made in town was accomplished toward the end ai the l9th century. The provincial government is aware ai the "mess" Bowmanville is In cancerning deeds and bas made its wishes known ta Council. The gaverument intimates that it is withiu its power ta arder that a survey be made, and from recent reports, the Department requests that a survey be made immedi- ately. The Photographie Air Survey plan presented ta Cauncil is di- vided inta three steps: (1) The photographing ai Bowmanville. If, aiter the first pbotographing, Council accepts the estimated cast tendered by the photograph- ing company, the Second Step, (2) a cantrolled air survey, will be made. This survey establishes control points for use by survey- ors, and produces detailed photo. graphs of the town. The Second Step completed, Council may take the Third Step, (3) employing ground surveyors, at their own discretion. Tbey may employ any firm they desire and may stretch the survey over as many years as they xish. This latter point will enable payment ta be made in instalments. Get Financiai Heip Mr. Wool estimates the total cost between $30,000 and $35,000 but Bowmanviile will get assist- ance in meeting the amount. It is understood the provincial gov- ernment bas already budgeted for $5,000 as their share ai survey costs, but they will probably add several thousand ta, that amaunt cansidering that they usually pay (Cantinued on page six) Women's Hospital Auxiliary Party Well Attended The annual birthday party of the Women's Hospital Auililiary was held Thursday afternoon, March 29, at the Nurses' Resi- clence.

Nany Take Democracy for Granied Forget Pioneer Courage and Work Says Speaker ai Canadian Club Most Canadians are in the bab- it ai taking dcmocracy for grant- cd, according ta Rev. S. R. Hen- dersan. Tbey forget that their nation was faunded and develop- cd by courageous men aud wom- en wbo dedicatcd their lives ta hard work and bardship in order that their descendants could en- jay the freedoms tbey most cov- eted. Speaking at the Mcn's Can- adian Club Wcdnesday evening, Rcv. Heuderson said, "Democracy is not jusI a form ai gavernmeut. Democracy is a great people." He said a nation is only as great as the people in il, and suggested thal democracy is like a castle, il has ta be pcrpetrated tbraugh the strength ai its people. Introduced by Hary Cryder- - ,the speaker tld Canadian IeImembers be first reaiizcd thie greatness cf Canada while serving in the Army averseas. ,People," he said, "Were cager ta beamu ai Canada over there," and he mentioncd bbe case cf a man whomn he termed '"desperaIe" ta become a Canadian. Foolproof Screenlng Alîbough today's immigrants bre well screened, the people wbo firs came ta Canada weme sereen- ed by a ioolpraof method. Tbey had ta be people wbo had the courage ta bazard a perilous sea voyage; they bad ta ihave the courage ta hew a home fram a wideruess, and they had ta bave courage and faîtb in their adopted country. -Yau can't just inherit demnoc-1 racy." Mm. Henderson said. Il mnust be worked at else it falîs ta pieces like the baronial estabes cf1 Engiand, in biis opinion. Mentioning ways by wvhich Canadians can ensure the Ion- gevity cf their democracy he said. "People mnust have wisdom andj thoughtfuiiiess in voting."' He1 stated a man could be elected. not by the people whvbooted. but by the people who neglected tos vote, Iu bis opinion, Adobph Hitler first came ta power au the strength ai the German people who neglectcd ta cast their ballot. Germany could have been anc ai the greatest cauntries in the world, according ta Mr. Hender- son, but Hitler led them ta ca- tastrophe. Church Ils Foundation If there is ta be great character in the Canadian people they nmust look back ta the early character ai the first settlers. "While tbinking back," the speaker said, "il will be discovered that the great rallying place, the centre ai activity, was the Church." He said the Church stands in the background ai every great man and every great nation. "The foundation ai this country is laid upon the Church, and as soon as we neglect the Church luis nation wiil crumble," Rev. Henderson said. He divided nations ai the warld into three types. First, the sec- ular nation, anc wherc the Cburch is ignored and God is banned. Second, the demonie nation, which. Nazi Germany illu- strates and which sets up a man or demon as god. And, third, is the covenant nation, the classifi- cation wbereiu Canada falîs. "Iu this country we acknowledge God and look ta Him for guidance and1 heip." Mr. Henderson explaiucd. Basis of Democmacy Canadian demacracy is based in the idea that wc look ta God for leadership and recognize places cf prayer. When we look aI aur na- tian's leaders we look int their hearts for we know that anly as God shahl guide them shaîl this nation prasper. Rev.

Damage by Fire In New Hospital Estimated at $4,200 Bclieved started by a blow torch, a fire at the new Memorial Haspital Monday noan, wreaked an estimated $4,200 in damages. Accarding ta Information ob- tained, cmployees ai the Univer- sal Plumbing Company were changing the position ai twa pipes penctrating a plaster wall in the wrong place, and were us- ing the blow torch ta solder joints.
