In an attempt ta ascertain the feelings of local business men, The Statesman recently contact- ed 48 merchants in a survey wbicb brought ta light many remamkable expressions of opinion. When the question, 'Would you be wUing to aetively support a Chamber o! Commerce in Bow- inanville?" was asked, tbe major- ity of merchants turned thumbs- dawn on the idea. Biggest cam- plaint registered was tbe .ack of co-operatian wbich apparently typiiied similar argani.zatians in the past. Another complaint was the present Chamber's indecision In stipulating closing hours on holidays and special occasions. Most o! the men contacted are in favor o! a Cbamber of Com- mxerce in principle, bowevcr, but apparently lack the desire ta ac- tively support a Chamber similar ta the anc presently struggling on the brink of tbe grave. Very few voiced a desire ta be on the executive. The folawing expressions o! opinion are actual quates taken from merchants daing business on King St. from Scugog ta Division Sts. : "iYESFI W. H.

Mr. Galbraith bad served over- seas in the First World War and was a member of the Veterans' Guard in the Second World War. At the time of bis death he was a member of the Corps of Coin- missionaires. Born and educated in Bowman- ville. Ont., he was a son of the late Malcolm Galbraith and bis wife. the former Clare -Knight. He married the former May- belle Campbell in Aylmer, Que., in 1941. She survives, in addition to a sister, Miss Frances Gai- braith, R.N., Fort Erie, Ont.

We are greatly indebted ta Ru- pert G. Hamlyn of Ottawa for his thoughtfulncss in scnding us the above clipping from an Otta- wa paper. In bis letter accomp- anying the obituary, Mr. Hainlyn makes some intcrcsting comments about the deccased, who was well known ta the editor as well as many other citizens who attend- ed school here around William 's age at the turn of thé century. Mr. Hamlyn writcs. Dcar George. You will recal that about fifty years ago (I arn flot sure of the precise date) Mal- colm Galbraith, who was a clerk in bis brother's (J. K. Galbraith) law office, died after a brie! jîl- ness. and bis wife died within a few days of his death, if I recal corrcctly. They bad two child- ren, Frances and William; I re- member Frances quite well, bav- ing been in the same class at the Public Scbool with ber. In 1917 1 ran into Billy in France, and saw him again over there in 1918. After that 1 didn't sce him again for a long time, but two or three years ago I ran into him bere several times. He was in the Corps of Commniission aires, which is a body uscd to police government buildings, etc. 1 don't think I have seen him with- in the last two years, and didn't know whether he was still in Ot- tawa or not. In last Monday's evening paper I noticed the en- closed dcath and obituary notices. I was very sorry then that the notice in last Saturday's paper had evadcd my attention, as I certainly would bave attended the funeral if I had known about it in time, for 1 wish ta be loyal to the aid town, George, as suggest- ed in your editorial in this week's Statesman. Thought y ou might possihly be interestcd in this itemi re an aid- timer. Hope your health is not causing you any special anxiety these days.
