Derumaux, Elec- tronics Engineer at General Mot- ors, Oshawa, inferred in an in- teresting addness delivered at the Friday luncheon af the Bow- manville Rotary Club. Unlike the weird shape thai rose from the lamp, however, the modemn Genie is im-prisoned be- neath the glass ai a vacuum tube. But it is equally magical. With- out the miracle ai the modemn Genie trans-Atlantic telephone calîs would be out of the question; radio reception would be limit- ed, and television just wouldn't "The time is fast approaching when we will be able ta exceed, in some respects, the abilities af Aladdin's Genie," Mr. Derum- aux told Rotarians, Intraduced by bis friend ai long standing, Rotarian Lamne Doreen, the speaker went an ta enlarge upon the work accomplished by the electrical Genie we take for granted in aur everyday lufe.

Expand Radio Use But the word radio embraces a broaden field. Sinca the end af World War II, two-way radia bas been installed in taxi cabs, police cruisers and fire departments as a means ai increasing efficiency and service. Funther power of the Genie is found in television which the speaker termed "a near miracle" wbicb had ta be worked out the hard way. "Electronics bas ta put 30 complete pictures per sec- ond an youn TV screen," he said. The speaker admitted that tele- vision bas not reached the apex of perfection ta date and men- tioned one ai the major reasons for slow gaing as technical limi- tations.

It is esti- xnated more than 16,000 people read The Statesman each week. B.H.S. Students Take Part in Chorus At Eaton Auditorium Eight B.H.S. students wene chosen ta take part in the ail-On- tania Secandany School chorus under the direction ai Dr. Leslie Bell, held in Eaton Auditorium, Toronto, April 16. The students specially trained ion the 250 voice chorus by D. C. Petons, L.T.C.M., Directon ai Mus- ic at Bowmanville High School, were: Lenone Osborne. Norma Aluin, Barbara Goddard, Bever- loy Frank, Merrill Brown, Ivan Woalley, Alex Drummond and Kenneth Buttery. More than 1,500 people crowd- ed Eaton Auditorium ta witness this very fine concert which, ac- cording ta several Bowmanville people attending, was a tribute ta ail taking part. Students from Bowmanville went ta Toronto Tuesday aiter- noon for a practice session which was followed in the ovening by a gay party at Jarvis St. Collegiate. A second practice on Wednesday was iollowed by the public per- formance in the evening. The concert provided an op- pontunity for 250 young mon and women from all aven Ontarna ta 6 lb. roast of beef. A boat trip which they took was enjoyable, but Mrs. Staples found the Sem- mnole Indian village, one of the ports of call, very commercial- ized. At Miami they saw the sights, including the beautifully land- scaped race tracks, the Pan Amen- ican Airprt, and a parrt jungle. They journeyed across Florida to the West Coast, stopping at a sugar refinery which they found very interesting, also at Fort Meyers where the largest variety of palms is to be found, and at Sarasota, the winter quarters of Ringling Bros. and Barnum and Bailey's circus. They took a ferry ride to St. Petersburg and visited the famous drug store where absolutely anything and every.. thing is sold. Other high spots were Tampa, Winter Haven and Lake Wales. At Lake Wales they saw the Bach Tower, a 20 storey sky- scraper, built on the highest point in Flonida. This tower, presented by Edward Bach of the Nether- lands who was at one time the editor of Ladies' Home Journal magazine, is a beautiful structure of Georgia pink marbe. In the tower is a 71 bell carillon whose bell master is supposed ta be the Large congregations attended the dedication and Open House services held at the new Christ- ian Reformed Church, Scugog St., on Monday and Tuesday evenings. The new building was needed to house the large and ever-growing congregation of the Dutch church which has been holding services each Sunday afternoon in St. An- drew's Presbyterian Church until recently. The building, situated on the corner of Scugog St. and Jack- man's Road, has a large auditor- ium and classrooms which ade- quately house the congregation for church services and other activities, but a superstructure will camplete the building at some time in the future. On, Monday evening a warship service was conducted by the minister, Rev. H. Maes, dedicating the new building. A dedication ceremony was read, ta which the congregation responded with the Doxology. Rev. S. G. Brondsema, Toronto, also responded in prayer. Address were delivered by Rev. John Vander Meer, Cochrane, Ont., and by Rev. H. Moes, and greetings were received from sister Christian Reformed Chur- ches in Peterborough, Lindsay and Toronto. Special music was furnished by Mrs. J. Groen, soloist, Burketon, and by the Young People's Society and Ladies' Aid Society which added to the beauty and effective- ness of the service.

Staples was the highlight of the April meeting of the Busi- ness and Professional Women's Club last Thursday night at the Balmoral Hotel. Introduced by President Violet McFeeters, Mrs. Staples described vividly the variety af scenery encountered on the way south, with winter gradually giving way, to summer as they progressed. New York and Pennsylvania were much the same as our own local- ity, but when Maryland was reached, the snow was gane and beautiful rolling farmland clearly visible. In Virginia the grass was green, in North and South Caro- lina, the shrubs in bloomn and in Florida the vegetation changed to palm trees. At St. Augustine, the oldest city in the United States, and, the locale of Ponce de Leon's Foun- tain of Youth, the Staples got their first glimpse of the ocean. Thèy visited Daytona Beach, and stayed for a tiime at West Palm Beach where they enjoyed swim- ming and sightseeing, taking in the dog races and visiting a rare bird farm. At Lake Worth they attended an exposition, which Mrs. Staples said was very much like aur fairs and carnivals here, -juivir 96 1 New Christian Reformed Church Dedicaled With Special Services Zbe "'Durham County's Gréat Famïlýv Journal" BOWMANVILLE.
