JAMES. frrmm SIGNIYICANCE 0F EMPIRE DAY While ft had its Inception as Victoria Day, the holiday falling on the 24th of May has been known for tmre years as Empire Day throughout the British Common- wealth of Nations. It is the occasion upon which the Canadian nation and British e stsions honor the birthday cf the late Quten Victoria. It is a national holiday and usually the day chosen by matorists for their first great exodus cf tht year into the countryside, and alto tht day on which summer cottage owners pay their titial summer visit to their fair-weather nmes. It ha also a day of rejoicing for achool children, because a day away from school really means something ta thern. They used ta warble a ditty: "Tht 24th of May is the Queen's birtbday, and if they don't give us a holiday we will all run away." That is not heard s0 much nowadays for tht simple reasan that teachers through- out the land in recent years have been instilling into tht minds of the children tht importance of the day insofar as It affects national unity. During the later years of the l9th Century few things did moretot foster British unity and patriotism than the ob- servance of the Queen's birthday, wbich was anticipated with the greatest interest and celebrated with enthusiasm tbrough- out the provinces and dependencies as well as tht British Islts. After tht death of Queen Victoria, the celebrations gradually became ta, have greater emphashs on unity of Empire rather than on the individuality of ont sovereign. In the schools cf Canada and other British possessions there are flag exercises and programa Iin honor of Great Britain and its berces, held on the preced- ing day, their larger observance being inerged in tht public holiday. Tht day is observed In the United States by British citizen& and others of British ancestry, with the British ambas- sador attending ont cf the celebrations. THE FORGOTTEN REROES WHO CARRY ON BACK HOME This newspaptr, like many other hometown papers, ha: always taken real pride and pleasure in giving publicity ta Durham County boys and girls who have lef t their native hearth and made good as they clixnbed the ladder cf success, niany reaching the highest rung in their chosen calling or profession. "Hometown boys who made good In the big city" isaa success therne that ban been strumrned on many occasions. In other words tht idea is fostered that tht hometown and county boys cannai be a success at home but mnuit go elsewhere and prsferably to tht big city to do it. Although Durham County has a re- markably large quota cf success stories concerning men and women who left here and made their mark In their particular fields of endeavour, tht boys and girls who stayed bebind should net be for- gotten. The stay-at-hom. grou havesnorne- times been referred te as '-tht forgotten herots" as tbey earry on in their modtst i and quiet way without fanfare, publicity or self-glorification. Yet in many îcases tbey art the saît of the eartb, the found- ation and corner stone on which citizen- ship han been built i this great andi growing nation. Yes, there are scores cf homnetown and county boys and girls who stayed bere and did, and are doing, a gooti job on the farm, In factory, business or profess- ton. Somne cf themn neyer had an opportun- J ity te leave their hometown; others diti not want te, since they felt their real op- portunity was here. The hometown boys and girls who mnade good are net all away someplace. A good many cf them are right bers now doing a real work In bettering their coin- munlty, andi lots more cf them wilI be here i future generations, we sincerely hope.

Every day sets advances in the prices of one or more commadities of everyday use, but this, apparently bas flot resulted in a slackene< demand. In Canada, as in aur neighbaring re- public, the living standard of the people bas always been high. We have carne to regard as, necessities many things whicl in other countries have always beeti in the luxury class. Rising prices, and con- sequent advancing wages and cQst-of- living bonuses, have created in us a false sense of prcsperity. The man wbo is navv getting double the pay he received ini pre-war days, feels he can spend mare, fargetting the fact that bis earnings bave actually decreased, and bis present day pay cheque will not purchase as much as bis lower pre-war pay would buy; and so instead cf curtailing bis purchases, and practising tbe frugal habits of bis former lower pay days, be spends bis money freely. When be feels the pinch of ever- rising prices be demands another rise in pay, and goes merrily on bis spend-thrift way. Buyer resistance bas decreased almost ta tht vanishing point. When tht priceof this or that goes up anather notch, the buyer merely shrugs bis shoulder and pays it, thus encouraging tht unscrupulous dealer ta boost prices unwarrantably. And thus the spectre of inflation takes forrn, anid becomes mare apparent dahly. As a caunter-measure ta combat inflation, Mr. Abbott bas suggested that this nihght be accornplisbed if everyane would work an extra four bours a week, thus produc- Ing mare goods and bringing down the prices. We think mare positive resuits might be achieved if everyone would cut their spendinlg by 25 per cent, Certain It Is, that at the rate we are going, we are rîpidly approachlng a con- dition that could be as econornically ruin- eus as all-out war. DEATH SEEMS S0 FINAL A splintering cf wood, a duil thud and tragedy descended upon a little group cf children wbo, but a moment before, had made tht playground re-echo with their happy shouts. Tht beavy beam which bad formed part cf a playground swing was lifted from tht broken body cf a little child. Death drew a curtain across a life scarcely begun. Tht shock and grief which darkened the cbild's home may be imagined; the lois ta the community was inestimable. Such an accident could happen here. Playgraund equipment, even in perfect condition is something of a hazard. In poor condition it invites disaster. What bave you donetot protect your chhld from such a fate? Have you ever looked at tht equiprnent on which your cbild plays, either in your yard or ha the cornmunity playground? Do you know how often scbool playground equipment Is checked or if it ever is? If accidents aretot be prevented tht best in equipmenî must be provided and we must insist on its periodic inspection. Also there should be competent pla- ground supervision. This spring ls a good tirne ta seetot it that oui- children at play are as saft as .bLa humsanly possible. OBSERVATIONS AND OPINIONS Sunday, June 3, is set aside as "Shut-. In'a Day," an international day ta en- courage remembrance of tht ick and dis- abled, that it may bring some extra cheer and fellowship into tht lives cf those who cannot mix in the normal social life of unhandicapped people. Many cf our citi- zens, unfortunattly, through illness or other disability, are deprived cf tht op- portunity to enjoy the pleasures cf tht outaide world. To these we should bring what cheer and comfort we can through- out the year and particularly on the above date. Addrtssing the graduation class at the Ontario Agricultural Callege at Guelph, C. D. Grahami, Deputy Minister cf Agri- culture, made this statement, "Opportuniîy often gots around i overalls* disguised as hard work." Ht further outlined tht im- portant qualitits he thought tht graduates shotild strive ta develop. "First, a sense of duty-to your work and ta yourself.

K r s e I ) I 1~ 1 - Lions Club Again Conducts A Blood Donors Bank Campaign In Con junction With The Red Cross veina, they will take only 380 cubic centimetres which is less thon a piat. Conaideriag that there are 200 ounces or 6,000 cu- bic centimetres o! blood in your body, 380 cubic centimeires is a relatively small amaunt, leas thktn 13 ounces. Some people believe that giv- ing blood weakens your body and impairs your health. This la foal- ish reasoning. You con give blood wiihout- discomfort and Without risk ta health and effici- ency as many as four trnes a year.. The Red Cross, hawever, are nai askhng you ta donate four tumes a year, they will wani you oaly twice a year. The OÉhawa CliniQ wilI be staffed by specially trained doc- tors afld nurses In whom you, as a donor, con have complete con- fidence. Tbey know their bus- iness. Those people wbo donate their blood will receive recog- nitia for their services in the form o! 11111e butions which will be awarded those who make ibret donations, six, 10 and 20. Two men in Bowmanville during the lait war qualified for the 20- donation bution. The blood you donate ha Osh- awa will be put ta the immediatc needa o! whole blit6d and the bal- ance will be converied int plas- ma and stockpiled for civil de- Transfusions Are Essential When you are donating blood You are rendering an important service to your country, As sta- tistics prove, during the First World War. over 75 per cent of the casuaities with compound fractures of the thigh died as a resuit of these wounds. In World War II. over 90 per cent recover- ed. Similarly, in Warld War I, 70 Per cent ta 80 per cent of those with abdominal wounds died. In the Second World War, over 75 per cent recovered. While this remarkable saving of lives cannot be wholly attrib- uted to the availability of blood and blood plasma, blood therapy certainly played an important part in saving the lives of many, for it was available as far for- ward as the Regimental First Aid Posts. The Lions Club have been ask- ed ta obtain between 300 and 400 signatures on the donor list and without your help, this list wil neyer materialize. Remember, when you are asked, that your blood may save tlhe life of a Can- adian boy in Karea... if that boy were your own son would you hesitate i.n giving a ornait part of yaur blood to save him ... the boy, who ia YOur own flesh and blood.

Bowmanville has been asked ta supply 400 signatures of patriotic Canadians wisbiag ta volunteer their blood for the Korean cause. Said Alex McGregor ai the Lions Club dinner meeting Manday ev- ening, "The f irst signatures sbould come from the Bowman- ville Lions Club." He passed araund registration carda wbich Lions wholeheartedly signed and reiurned tbus launching the drive for donors ia ibis community. Maay are ihose who would like ta donate tbeir blood ta Canadion figbting men but for some reasonl or aiber they are in doubi. Tbey question the adviaabiliiy of sucb an action fearing thatinl some way the>' may injure themselves. Such reasounagla; unsound as the following attempt at explanation wii prove. No Change Needed A donor would ask: "lis there any special procedure wbicb I muai foilow if I amn goirng ta give my blood ha the figh a gainsi Communism." And the answer would be a vebement, "No." In faci, A la not even necessary ta change your diet if you become a blood donor. Some ask. "Is a doctar's certifi- cote necessary," and the anawer la. "Oniy in special cases o! high blood pressure." Wben you cal ta donate yaur blaod ai the Osh- awa clinic, your blood will be iested and yau will nai b. taken unless your heolth ia perfect.

In 1939, dividends to shareholders amnounted ta 8.93 per cent of the gross national product of Canada. In 1949, the percentage had dropped ta 7.01. In the same ten years, the total of personal incornes in Canada-made up of salaries and wages and ail other incarnes to persans-rose from $4,291 ta $12,711 .million, alsa nearly trebling. This shows that the persans dependent upon dividends enjoyed only albout two-thirds of the gains marked up by union labor and other workers, including farmers. In 1939, shareholders' dividends re- presented 3.03 per cent of the total of per- sanal incarnes in Canada.
