Stuart Ryan, Port Hopc's rep- nesentabive an the Board, ex- plained at length the conditions under which. tbc Authority fune- tians, skctched histary ta show that the river bad been trouble- some as long ago as 1797, and en- umcrabed vaniaus methods that might bning improvement. These wouid require a considerable out- lay, and while the Provincial fGovcrnment undoubtediy would tlend assistance, the local share ai cost would fail largeiy upon the tawn itseli, as the municipality cbicfly bcnefibting. In the long nun, said Mn. Ryan, tbc fonestation measures taken would do much ta reduce the erosion and the depletion ai land in tbc watcrshed area, and the cansequent threat ai flood dam- age, wbiie improving the district economy and building up bbe cauntryside, totahbcpnospenity ai ail. BJut the Authority, he point- cd out, bas no budget for any- tbing outside actual reforestation. It was agreed that the first step neccssary would be an expert engineer ing study ai the probiem, ta sec what could be donc, ta ar- rive at thc approximate cost, and ta apportian the cost. A motion ta this eficct was maved by S. Ryan and T. A. Reid and adopbed. The motion suggesbed ta the Port Hope Council a preliminany study, organizcd in ca-aperation with the Authority and bbe Provincial G avern ment. to (rud* 11:00 am MORNING WORSHIP 12:15 p.ni. - SUNDAY SCHOOL 7:00 panx. - EVENING WORSHIP and Song Service TRINITY UNITED CHURCH Rev.

BOWMANVILLE PHONE 3367 IAdd Chapel to Ontartjo Ladies' College For some time the Board of the Ontario Ladies' College at Whitby, has been conducting a campaign to ereet a Chapel adjoining the Byerson wing of the present struc- ture. The above sketch shows the proposed Chapel as it wvill appear when completed. The financial objective necessary to complete the Chapel is $100,000. We understand that about one-third of this amount has already been subscribcd. There are many form- er O.L.C. students and graduates in this district. In fact some of them must be in the grandmother class as the college was found ed in 1874. An appeal has alrendy been sent- out to former students whose addresses are known. If you have been overlooked just drop a line to Dr. Stanley L. Osborne, B.A., B.D., Principal, Whitby, and he will gladly forward literature pertaining to the Chapel which is to be added to the college. Aside from the many ladies from this district who ýttended O.L.C. in years past residents of Durham County -have a special interest in this movement for the present popular prin- cipal, Dr. Osborne, is a native of this county and a graduate of Bowmanville High School. Monotony of the Machine Age B3y Lewis Milligan At lunch table the other day a friend was railing against what he called the "deadening monot- ony of the present mechanical age." He told of how he had re- cently visited a factory-1 think it was a paper mill-where he saw a man sitting in front af a number of levers and push-but- tons which aperated a big mna- chine. "That man sat there al day watching that maehînery, occasionally puliing a lever or pressing a button, without an- other thought in hîs head," said my friend. He went on ta com- pare the new with the olden days, when men made things with their hands and took a personal inter- est in what they were making. This lack af interest and the mon- otony of the occupation, he said, COME to the BIG FARM WELDING DEMONSTRATION TUESDAY APRIL 101h, 1951 at 8:00 p.m. See the Worid's Easiest Welding Try !ho. now "Lincweiders" Yourseli - AT - S.

I qucstioned whcthcr bbc man at the machine wornicd or even noticed the monotany ai bis job, and suggestcd that, wbilc be op- erated tbc machine automaticaily, bis neal mind was accupied with ather tbings. "Na," responded my friend, "be daesn't tbink at ail." Coming downtown this morning I was sitting at bhc front ai the street car. wbcn thc conductor came forward and spake ta bbc driver. "I was just necalling old memories," he said, in a cockney accent and with a fanaway look in his eye. "Forty years ago ta- day I enlisted. Ha, ha! How time does ily. I remember bow I went home an icave fan Christmas in my new uniform." He feu suent ion a moment, and then made same gurgling noises wbich end- cd in a forced laugh. The driver said notbing; be was pnobably re- caliing aid memonies himself. My mind wenb back over bbe years ta my first visit ta aid Lon- don. 1 arnivcd at Liverpool Street Station in bbc caniy morning and bbc streets wcre dcscrtcd. Near tbc station stood an empty tram- car at tbc end ai tbe lune. Aiter a while a conductor appeared on bbc rear piatform and began ta reel off a list ai names ai places. As I was nlot witbin bis view and no anc cisc was around, there was fia nccd for broadcasting this in- formation; but bbc conductor secmed ta be cnjoying bbc vocal exercise. He had prabably donc the same tbing morning aiter. marning for years. Like the To- ronto conducton, however, lie doubtless did quite a lob af tbink- ing enroute. Every routine occupation Is monotonaus, but few people tbink about bbc monotony. Some- one bas said that routine is anc ai bbc biessings ai middlec lue. Young people anc inclined ta kick aven bbc traces, but they soan get used ta the barncss, and like it. Tbey love ta put on a uniiarm and march in unison. Old people are lost wben tbey bave ta retire fnomn routine. Without routine cammunity lufe, with ahl its inter- lacking arganization, wauld be impossible. lb was bbc same in the aid days, except that bbc pace ai lufe was slower and people worker barder and langer heurs. I can recali bbc old cobbler sitbing at bis hast making and mending shocs irom early morning until late at nigbt. He did bis work automaticalhy and was able at bbc same time ta engage in an argu- ment or philosaphize on lufe witb a custamer. Laaking back upon those onir days, lufe daes appear ta bave been more picturesque and hum- aniy intercsting than in this me- chanical age, but occupations were na iess monatonous and there xvas certainily mare drudgery wibh littie leisure.

Dy Joseph Lister Rutledge Rent control is as reasonable and as unreasonable as any other contrai. In practice it does less than nothing ta remedy the bous- ing situation. If the renter pays lcss than be would have paid witbout contrais and is assured in hîs tenancy, it means that possibly better tenants wbo are desper- ately seeking a home cannot compete. It means that tbe own- er, faccd with increased main- tenance costs, with no way ai re- cavering them must accept a de- clining equity in bis pnopcrty. 1t migbt -be a littie difficuit ta un- derstand why anc party should be protected at the expense ai the other txvo. The Toronto Property Owners' Association bas proposed a plan that is warthy af more attention than it seems iikely ta get. The proposai is for a tbree months' moratorium on tbe rent freeze ta ailow nents ta be adjusted toaa workabie level. The Association believes that mosb people are neasonable when approached reas- onabiy. Tbey would recognize that the landiard is the victim ai tbc same bigh pnices as bedevil the individual.

To assure that no ane would take advantage af such efforts at agreement, the Association bas proposed a Fair Rentai Committcc ta guard agamnst abuses ta arbitrate bc- twcen tenant and landlord wherc necessary. The Association contends, and xt seems a reasonable contention, that biindly freezing rents, witi- out reiating them in anv way ta the declining value of the dollar, is neither fair treatment, nor can it be other than a destructive policy. If renting pnoperty con- tinues ta be an unprofitable un- dertaking, two things are bound ta happen. The first effort will be ta cut costs in building maint- enance. This is an accclerating process which will quickly ne- suit in the creation of slum areas. The second result wiil be a sharp decline in the number ai bouses or apartments available for rent- Af ternoon Teas make' friendly entertainment TE& TON!
