Dopaztment. Ottawa. Bawman'vli.e, Ontario GEO. W. JAMES, EIoB HE IS RISEN "In the end of the Sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week, came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary to see the sepul- chre. And, behold, there was a great earthquake: for the angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled back the stone from the door, and sat upon it. His counteriance was like lightning, and bis raiment white as snow: and for fear of him the keepers did shake, and became as dead mien. And the angel answered and said unto the women, "[Fear flot ye: for I know that ye seek Jesus, which was crucified. He is flot here: for he is risen, as he said. Corne, and see the place where the Lord lay. And go quickly, and tel bis disciples that he has risen from the dead." The story of the Resurrection of Christ as told in St. Matthew's Gospel is the basis for the Christian celebration of Easter - the most joyful festival of the church. It is, indeed, the basis of Christ- ianfaith. The world today needs the promise of new life given to mankind on that first Easter morn. In this hour of threatening world war, this hour of broken dreams of world peace, this hour of misery and fear throughout so much of the world, the hope that Easter brings of a better world flot only in the hereafter but on this earth gives the free mnen of the world courage to carry on. Through the ages Easter and spring- time have become closely associated in the minds of people everywhere. The eternal znystery of the renewal of if e in nature in thespring and the story of the Resurrection both bring hope to man that ultimately good will conquer evil. The message of Easter is a triumphant one. People of aur community, like those of thousands of communities all over the Christian world, will gather next Sunday in their churches to worship the Risen Christ, to pray for peace, to seek the in- spiration of the beautiful music of Easter and the comfort and challenge of the Easter message. The churches here should be too small to accommodate ahi those who wish to take part in the Easter services. BOWMANVILLE LACKING IN INDUSTRIAL GROWTH New industry is essential if Bowmnan- ville ever expects to progress to the point of active competition with neighboring towns in this age of expansion and de- centralization. Th oonoae hsls a-es opened a path for dloser co-operation between the two public bodies which should place industrial expansion ini Bow- manvilie ini the forefront of ail projects. With xiew industry and the resulting increase in empioyment, Bowmanville eould progress as other towns have pro- gressed. Cobourg will be the site of a new multi-million dollar arsenal in the near future. Even iiow citizens of that town are looking forwvard to the day when Cobourg will be a city. And Port Hope is expanding In leaps anid bounds due to similar industrial expansion. If the proper type of encouragement is offered, many industries would prob- ably be happy to build in Bowmanville, a town which lies oniy 40 miles from Can- ada's second metropolis. Canada is the coming countrv\. the greenest pasture, the magnet for ilvest- ment capital. Bowmanville, as part of Canada, can and will attract industry and progress with the times if people in this town will wake up to the fact that they are aive and get out and do something constructive in preparing, providing and soliciting for new industries. CANADA A MOST FAVORED LAND Statesman readers will be particularly interested in the following comments, be- cause they were uttered by a prominent Durham County Boy, Byron S. Vanstone, President of the Bank of Toronto. In bis recent annual address he gave a birds- eye view of conditions in Canada in these few words: "While soft spots are likely to develop ini some lines of business we can look ahead with confidence. Our economy is strong and vinle; our resources are varied and valuable; our soil is fertile and pro- ductive; our people are ingenious, indust- nious and law-abiding. We possess that boon above ahl other; personal liberty. Wi4h these blessings Canada is in a most favoured position and hong-term future is bright." SUPPOSING YOU WERE THE EDITOR It is a matter of regret thatvpublishers are unable to print free announcements, orýý in other words, advance notices, of meetings, concerts and other events at wvhich there is a charge, comments the Orillia News-Letter. From the attitude some people take they give you the impression that it doesn't cost anything to publish a newspaper. At any event that is what editors think when people make requests for free publicity - right on the front page some times. Yet these same folks wouldn't think for the world of going into a store and asking for a free basket of groceries. Groceries to the merchant is the same as space in a newspaper - bbth are for sale and the revenue from them pays wages, supplies and other necessary expenses to keep the business going. Newsprint and other newspaper pro- duction costs have jumped considerably during the past few years and are now at such a peak that newspapers can't help but feel the pinch. Newspapermen feel newspapers are operating a community service and if they are to continue to do so they must receive community support. Our policy regarding advance notices is where you make an admission fee or take up a collection we charge regular advertising rates. This, of course, does flot apýly to reports after the event takes place, as they are always wehcome as news, but send such reports in early. Don't wait until Wednesday. THE FARM BEATJTIFUL? There is no denying that startling changes have taken place on the farm in the hast 25 years. The horse is making its hast stand against the never-tiring tractor. The kerosene lantern is being replaced by the electnic bulb as hydro wires are being strung across the rural countryside ike huge spiderwebs. The automobile bas become an essential form of farm transport. But modern as they are, many Canadian farms require one highly essential thing to bring them up-to-date - a buge paint job. Go anywhere in the rural scene and evidence will be there in abunidance: weather-beaten bouses and barns which too often haven't been touched by a paint brush f or years - if at all; valuable implements brown with rust; dingy home and barn interiors. There is another way. to look at a good paint job. In recent years paint scientists have discovered that color bas a definite psychological effect on human beings. Some colors will create an atmos- phere of coolness and relaxation; others DISASTER PREPAREDNESS \Vhen disaster stnikes, as it did 465 times in the first nine months of 1951 in Canada, the Canadian Red Cross stands ready to serve. Disaster is a reahistic word; those who experience it know how î'eal il can be. And the Canadian Red Cross, now appealinc for $5.222.000, throu 'gh ils years of disaster relief exper- ience, knows what disaster rneans in ives and suffering; ils tragedy and its need. Many liv'es and great lasses and a great deal of tragedy can be saved if the com- munit y is prepared. Red Cross disaster preparedness is based on the idea that "it can happen here." To he pnepared in the best wxaY - keep Red Cross prepared by giving no'wx'ta bhc 1952 Red Cross cam- paigîî. T ill sSoon be Spî'ing Clean-up time in Bow'manvilic and il is hoped that al househoiders and business men wiil co- opeî-ate with town authorities in'cleaning up their premises. This is important both f rom the viewpoint of maintaining Bow- manville's reputation for cleanly and at- tractiv'e appearance and also as a means of avoiding fire losses attributabie ta the jprescnce uf refuse in dangerous places.

SIXTU 0F EIGHT ARTICLES ON The Hisfory of Assessmenl and Municipal Taxation in Ontario The proper assessment oi farmn praperty ta help brîng about not only an equalization af assess- ment but also ai taxation is one ai the main problems which rur- al assessors have ta contend with today. While il will cost over $20,000 ta erect bbc buildings (including the dwelling) on a 100 acre gen- eral purpose farm, yet the farmn wîll only selI for on an average ai fi-arn $7.000 ta $10,000. If the soil on a lai-m is poor, bard ta work or too wet ta work until hate in the spring this lessens the value af the farm, no matter the cast af the buildings. The same would apply ta a farm in an ai-ca wbere the climalic con- ditions caused a short gnowing season. For instance, while thei soil texture in areas ai Norlbern Ontario is simihar ta thal ai some af the Southern Ontario Counties yet the short grawing season pi-e- vents the raising ai certain crops. This is an example ai haw loca- tion affects the farmn value nat only due ta climatîc conditions but also due ta lack af mar-kets. Then we bave farms which are termed overbuilt or underbuilt wbere in the first case there are tao many buildings or the build- ings have boa large an ai-ca for the amaunt af acreage available for production and in the second case where, there are taa few buildings or the buildings haveî too small an ai-ca ta properly store the produce, stock or ma- chinen,. Study Soul Value For these reasons, assessors have in the pasl few years been devobing more study ta the value af tbc salIfi-rn bbe productîvîty angle and less ta the elaborate sprcad af buildings. Tbey believe that if soil cannaI produce, tbc buildings do not greatly increase the value oi the land because no farm bas value except as a means af production. This af course docs not include bhe farrns which because ai their proximity ta ur- ban centres bave a potential value as future industnial sites or for subdivision purposes. Undoubtedly the biggest head- ache that rural assessors face ta- day is the problcm created by the influx af urban dwellers int the iornmerly rural townships. This Local Lady Receives Letter From Royalty Mrs. 'L.

The season pricketh ever-v gentle heart, and mnaketh bim out of bis slcep to tart.,-Chaucer. entry made possible by tbe de- velopment of motor transporta- tion and good roads bias resulted in the growth af urban bamlets. Unfortunately, the natural de- sire ai these ncw residents ta en- joy some af the amenities they en- joyed in the urban municipalities from wbence tbey moved lias cre- ated scbool problems and the in- stallation af municipal services wbich wene formcrly not provid- ed for by the farming community. This bias caused same distress ta the farm areas as taxation bias risen but il neally is a taxation problem and not an assessment problem, for as suggested hefore the same rules ai assessment and equalization wbich gavern urban municipalities also apply ta rur- al areas. In other w'ords, if a dwelling in an urban municipality bias an actual value of $15,000 and is assessed at 50 per cent ai value ar $7,500, then a farni wvich lias an actual value of $15.000 niust also be assessed for $7,500. Industrial Buildings Industrial property is saine wbat in the sanie categony as iarm praperty. Itlibas its greatest value wben it is enjoying its best use. If tbe buildings are not suit- able for the type of manufactur- ing being carnied on, tbe cost of production is naturally higher and therefore the industry finds il difiicult ta mccl competilive prices. This factor creates a loss in aclual value which is reflected in the assessment. Industrial ma- chinery changes rapidly and in- dusîrial buildings are generally designed ta fit the macbinery and nat the reverse. Sa if tbe value ai farm land is lessened because it cannat produce. then il follows that if industrial buildings are autmoded, part of their value is hast. The same ai course would apply ta retail stores, etc., where the trend ai population lbas changed or where modern shop- ping centres whichx have been opened up in a nearby area bave attracted the trade. Fortunately, these conditions are flot nearly as applicable ta residential praperty. (In the next article, yau will be told the steps you may take ta adjust wbat you consider an un- fair assessment).
