Bowmanvilie, Ontario GEO. W. JAMES. EDITOSt A GRAND IVORK IN WHICH EVERY CITIZEN SHOULD HELP The season when friendship is strong- est and personal grenerosity greatest is fast approaching. Soon, Christmas carols xiii warm the frosty air ai-d citizens of Bow- inanville and district xiii open their hearts and rejaice in the chant: "Peace On Earth Good Will Toward Men." But "Peace" is nat on earth, and in this day of selfishness and high-pressure living, what has become of the once uni- versai phiiosophy, "Good WiIi Toward- Men?" Lest we forget aur obligation to The Greatest 0f Ail Men, born in a Beth- lehem stable Dec. 25th, let us pause and cansider our debt ta the other feliow, the persan whase lot in life has not been as fruitful or happy as ours. Hundreds of Canadians will be in hospital for Christmas, this year, and many others will be in T.B. Sanitoriums. In this seasan of gaod wiil when your hearts go out ta everyone, wauld it nat be a wonderful act ta rememnber thase in hospita], particularly T.B. patients, and endeavaur ta heip them out of their pre- sent plight so that they, too, may came ta enjay the bounteaus Christmas blessings that we know? Yau are needed in the Tubercular field. Your dallars can help build strang lungs. The Bowmanviiie Lians Club are launching their annual Christmas Seal Drive (by mail) Nav. 20. You are asked ta remit yaur donation - any amaunt you wish - ta help provide weapons for the fight against this dreaded disease. Last year the Lions Club received approximately $1,700 from generous citi- zens of Bowmanvilie and district, and this gift was employed ta useful purposes. One thausand dollars was contributed ta- ward the new X-ray machine at the Mem- orial Hospital; $180 was forwarded ta the Ontario Sanitoriu m T.B. Association for cure and preventative work. The balance of the money was directed ta similar activ- ity in Bowmanville and the surrounding district. The Lions Club are doing a marvel- lous job in this field of hospitalizalion, but they need your assistance at certain times ta provide a transfusion for a dwindling fund Christmas Seals are their only meaiA of raising money in this respect. If you would open your heart and purse strings in the true Christmas spirit, and if you would consider the misery T.B. might bring to your own family, pause and consider the momentaus effect your few dollars may have in this commendable work. When you receive your Christmas Seals in the mail this week, give a positive reply ta the appeal being made by the Lions Club on behaif of those who suffer. GREAT CHANGES IN PERSONNEL 0F RURAL SCHOOL TEACHERS teaching, as a stepping stone ta get ex- perience in the study af human nature that would qualify them ta step out and secure a more lucrative position. To see how successful this worked one only needs to look back and make a mental survey in Durham- County and see how many rural teachers who later became leaders in medicine, the ministry, finance, pro- fessors, industry and other vocations which have contributed in a large measure ta the tremendous progress Canada has Mnade in the development of its people and Its resourceS in* the past century as a youflg country. Getting back ta aur original inquiry it may be a matter of economy due ta the high cost of living, or as saine put it in reverse, by terming it the cost of high living, that has brought about this change. The question May be asked why are fewer men becoming' teachers? However, if anyone has any suggestions or fdeas to express on this subject the "Voice of the People" column is open to them. The teaching profession is a noble one and in many ways the most important In building the faundation for character and good citizenship in the youth of this growing country. Whether this is brought about by male or female teachers, mar- ried or single, they have aur sympathy and blessing. AIMS 0F THE CANADIAN CLUB Men's Canadian Club will be holding its f irst meeting of the season on Wednes- day, Dec. 5, at the Lions Centre and wvil1 be glad ta welcome new members. With worid conditions so confused to-day and sa difficuit to understand, many of our men look ta the club as a sourceof auth- entic information from the prominent speakers who are specialists in the subject they present. Purpose of the Canadian Club, ac- cotding ta its by-laws, is "ta foster pat- riotism and ta encourage the study of the institutions, history, arts, literature, and resources of Canada, and ta unite Canad- ians in such work for the welfare and progress of the Dominion." The aim of the Canadian Club is simply ta help develop an informed public opinion ta these critical times, ta cultivate a distinctive Canadian outlook, and ta build up a wider understanding of world affairs and aur country's part in them. The Canadian Club does not compete with any other local organization, is not a money-raising organization. Above ail, its aim ta be a good cross section of Duir- ham County citizens. Maybe you are not aware that the Bowmanville Canadian Club is one of the oldest in the Dominion, being estabiished nearly 50 years ago. Furthermore, the founder of the Canadian Club movement was a Bowmanvilie boy, the late Col. Charles R. McCuilough, who died about two years ago in Hamilton. FORMER PREMIER 0F ONTARIO DEPLORES ELECTION SMEARS When a man admits he "has taken part in every election in Ontario from 1908 until 1942" it can be termed that he speaks with the vaice of experience and wisdom. Such is the record of Hon. Gar- don D. Canant, former premier of On- tario and attorney-general, revealed in an address he gave last week at Ajax Rotary Club. The advice he gave in conducting elections along democratic principles may be a little late for the present contest which has reached an ail-time low for mud-slinging and persanal diatribes, but his suggestions may came in useful in future political campaigns if the people are really interested and insistent enough taput thema on a respectable level. Hie deplored the mud-slinging and abuse of controversial political questions being used by candidates, speakers and some newspapers during the election cam- paign. "The very foundations of aur system of responsible government," he said, "are shaken by such tactics. The electors are bewil-dered. The issues become second- ary. The election tends ta be decided on personalities instead of principles. Our legisiature may thus be composed of repre- sentatives who have best survived as in- dividuals than as representatives of our views." Another disastraus aspect of such election campaîgn tactics, he said, is that many of the highest calibre men and women will not off er theinselves as can- didates under those conditions. Mr. Canant admitted that politics is not the "cleaneàt g.ame," but called for a greater sense of dlecency and decorumn in election campaigns.

Now we wvould like the "ves-men" in favor of these one-armed bandits being established in a peace-abiding community such as this town claims ta be. ta express their views. There is aiways two sides to every argrument so let's hear the other side before tawn council puts its iame on the dotted line arderîng these modern hitching-posts. "Top li Off!"
