In some cases it doesn't inatter too much that you neyer get round to doing anything about these fine intentions, but in the particular case we are going to mention, we don't want you to formm any good intentions - we just want you to DO something. We ail know of the Memorial Hospital Emergency Appeal for $60,000 which stamts to-day, and most of us know of the excellent work accomplished by our hos- pital, first in the old building and now in the ncw. You are being aýked by the Campaign Committee, formed of our representative fellow citizens, ta rally round and put the hospital's finances on a sound, "free-from- worry" basis. The men who represent you, their fellow citizens, on the Hospital Board, have been carrying a heavy load. They are now asking that you share their burden with t'nemn for the good of the citizens of our community anid for the benefit of our hospital. The hospital miust have aur support to finance its vital womk. It must have it NOW. That's why we say we don't want you to INTEND to rnake a contribution to the Memnorial Ilospital Ememgency Appeal. DO IT. It's 'vitally important to youm welfare, and to the welfare of those who live in this dis- %ý<ict, that the doors of Memorial Hospital remain ever open. eCTVITESAGAN N FLLSWING A quick glance atth dorsclna fad will afford ample proof that summer Is gone and we are now into the fall reason. Listed there wil be meetings.of rnany local fraternal bodies, service clubs, thurch, social and women's groups, and other organizations. After being inactive during the sum- rmér months, members of these groups are returning to the regular routine of meet- ings, and are reviving their interest and enthusiasm in the many projects at hand. Plans are being made for new undertak- ings, and good fellowship prevails. Each of these organizations - frater- nal, church, service, social, and cultural - Is, in its own way, contributing a great deal to the life of Bowmanville and Dur- ham County. Members invest consider- able time and money, not in their own intemests, but on behalf of their fellow mnen. In so doing they find a great deal of satisfaction and pleasure. New organ- izations are being formed, with the object of providing recreation and fellowship for the members and service or entertainment for their fellow citizens. To each and ail of these local and dis- trict organizations we wish much success and enjayment as they resume their activ- lties for the faîl and winter season and pledge aur fullest co-operation in public- izing such activities. The Statesman gladly co-operates with ail these organizatians by giving due Publicitv ta their mneetings and activities. AIl we ask is that the reports be sent in promnptlyv, and flot wait till publication day. FOR A BULWARK AT HOME DurinZ this month hundreds of thou- sands of Canadians will buy the seventh consecutive annual issue of Canada Sav- ings Bonds. Through payroll savings, through banks and investment dealers, they will put out to interest millions of dollars of their collective savings. Con- sciously or unconsciousîy, by so doing thev take what iiilitary stategists term "a calculated risk." Thev risk their dollars in an invest- ment wvich is only as good as Canada and the Canadian dollar - no better, no worse. Truc, these bonds are readily convertible to cash. Truc, too, they yieldi tr TE aI m CANADA 5AVIN65 '?ON05 we reaJize that the best protection for Canada, for the Canadian dollar, and for Canada Savings Bonds lies in the maxi- mum &f.productive labour and the mini- mum of waste at all levels of our national economy. Canada Savings Bonds are à good buy today because they are one of the best protections we have against having to say goodbye to our promising to-morrow. THERE MUST BE A BETTER WAY TO SOLVE THESE IFRNE Because Bowmanville is known as a 'rubber town" with its largest industry employing well over 800 people many citizens were naturally interested in the outcome of the four-month strike which ended last month at the Firestone plant at Hamilton. According to press releases the 1,400 employees concerned accepted an eight-cent-an-hour increase. They had prevrously been getting $1.37 an hour. We see where a statistician has figur- ed out that since the men were out for 16 weeks, it may be estimated that each employee lost approximately $900 in wages. To make this up with an 8-cent increase, the mathematician further cal- culates that they will need to work 11,250 hours, or 280 forty-hour weeks, or fîve'and a haif years. At that point, he dlaims, the strike will have been warranted. Our informant goes on to say, under these circumstances, it is surprising to learn that the president of the union con- cerned should describe th'e settiement as "a definite victory." He concludes by say- ing, Do the wives of Firestone workers agree with him? Our observation of such strikes, where nobody wins and everybody loses, is that management and labor can surely find a better way to solve their differences than by having these intermittent and pro-: longed cessations of work whereby suf- fering and hardships are the chief resuits to so niany f amilies, as well as loss in sales to the industry involved. BIGGEST SHOW EVER BUT WHERE IS IT TO BE HELD ? Port Hope and Cobourg papers appear to be neyer happier than when they are in a verbal scrap over some trivial matter in which they delight in whipping up a red hot controversy of shadow boxing, for the entertainment, if not edification of their readers. This time they are squab- bling over which town is going to have the honor of having the 1953 International Plowing Match located in their bailiwick. Mayor Jack Burnet of Cobourg, at the council meeting last week declared: "The 1953 Plowing Match will definitely be held in Cobourg. In fact, almost right in the town and fully seven miles away from Fort Hope." These assertions were evid- ently made in rebutai to recent intima- tions in the Port Hope Guide, that the 1953 matches would be centred in that hilîside municipality. The Statesman bas no desire to get mixed Uip i this backyard neighborly cat fight with our fellow publishers, but as an armchair farm editor we certainly feel Port Hope landscape with its hilly fields, gardens and streets bas it over Cobourg . as a natural place to demonstrate the modern contour ploughing. This dis- advantage, of course, wouldn't be so good for Mayors Lamport and Whitton to put on their feature competition of ploughing a straight furrow. However, regardless of the location of this International Plowing Match it will be the biggest show ever put on with- in the borders of these United Counties, as it attracts annually well on to 160,000 people - and that's a lot of folks to squeeze into any ploughed field, either r in Cobourg or Port Hope.t NO LONGER FREE NURSERY STOCK i Ed Youngman's Column The Statesman's Grass Roots Columnist Withaut a doubt, the year's the compliment of baving struck best Editonial was the one in him the handest blow (ta the Oct. 9 issue on "Wby an Editor's salar plexus) of his ring careen.

We would all prabably agnee that the best day wvould be Nov. llth. if the gavernment wene ta declare that day a Statutory Holiday and aour industries and 15usinesses were ta close for the day. But such is not the case and therefore the Ministenial Association con- sidered the matten and the mem- bers came ta the conclusion that a Sunday observance of the occa- sion migbt get more response. This thougbt was turned aven to the local brancb of the Canadian Legion and discussed by the Le- gion at a very well attended montbly meeting so we have been informed. It was with the advice' and consent of the Legion that we made aur recommendatian ta the Councîl. That leads ta one funther point that sbould be mentioned. The observance of Remembrance Day is a civie matter, as we under- stand it, spanored by thç Mayor rand Town Council. In thé past it bas been custamary ta invite the Canadian Legian and the Mini's- terial Associatian, for abviaus reasans, ta co-apenate in planning it and in canrying out the plans. However it may bave sounded, therefore, when the matten came before Council we hope that it was undenstaod by Council and the public that the Ministenial Association was making a recam- mendation only about the day of the observance and not pnesum- ing ta take the matter out of the hands of the Mayor and Council. Pur ebief cancern is that the spirit of Remembrance Day should be widely observed by citizens of aIl ages, "Lest we for- get". Sincerely yaurs, Warren Turner, President Ministenial Association.
