EDJTORIALS Memorial Hospital In Desperate Financial Condition' Frankly, we are ashamed of ourselves ln this Emergency Hospital Appeal for Funds. Like so many other people in Bowmanville and throughout the rural district, we have sat back waiting for some miracle ta happen ta bring the need- ed $60,000 into the hospital treasurery. This week, we spoke ta the President of the Hospital Board and learned the grim details of this campaign and of the hos- pital's financial position. We think every- one in West Durham should know about it, because once the situation is made clear, we feel the people of this area will came through with flying colars as they have done in the past. In a page announcement in this issue, the President gives a true and revealing picture which everyone should read. We were amazed ta learn that after three weeks of campaigning only a littie over $3.000 had been donated ta the Emer- gency Fund. We have heard, as you have, rnany people complaining that they have given enough ta the hospital and are nat gaing ta give more. But, the simple fact is that each and every one of us must give mare because our Hospital is fînan- cially broke and worse. They owe long overdue accaunts ta contractors and ta the bank of over $50,000 and at present have no funds ta meet these obligations. We as town and rural citizens took on the obligation of paying for aur hos- THE CUTTING 0F CHRISTMAS TREES Certain parts of Durham County in recent years have developed a new and profitable industry of grawing Scotch Fine for Christmas trees. The cutting of young evergreen trees for sale at Christmas time usually arouses a great deal of controversv. Criticism of this practice cornes from those who feel that a great wrong is committed each tirne a young tree is cut for this purpose. An understanding of why this is done should show that such citicism is unfounded. Scotch Fine is one species used ex- tensiveiy in Reforestation work and has become very popular as a Christmas tree. This is a f ast growing tree which bears seed prolifically and at an early age. The waod of this species is of low quality. Its best use then, is as a Christmas tree. It grows very well on some of the poorer soils being reforested throughout the province. If it will grow an such areas and provide a short term crop of Christ- mias trees it is logical ta do so. Planted in stands at six to eight foot spacing, the trees develop a good overali form. When Christmas trees are cut from these stands it is recommended that a few of the poorer form trees be lef t ta grow, serving as seed trees which will restock the area. BEVANISM IN THE EAST BLOCK? Is Bevanism rearing its ugly head in the austere precincts of Ottawa's East Block? Recent utterances of Nik Cavell, Canada's Colombo Plan Administrator, 'Suggest that such a development is flot beyond the realm of possibility. In a recent Ottawa address Mr. Cayell, after paying lip service tu the necessity of rearmament in the face of tatalitarian aggression, declares that "ta survive, the free world must strike a balance between defence against an armed aggression which would wipe out fieedom itself, and the continuation of the fight for human betterment throughout the world." Colombo Plan Administrator Cavel may be right. It may be entirely proper ta devote part of aur energy and resources ta the economnic and social betterment of our neighbors while, at the same tume de- fending aurselves against an arrned ag- gression which, in Mr. Cavell's own words, 44would wipe out freedam itself." Doubt- less it is sheer perversity which causes thoughtful folk ta ponder whether by the sanie token, Colombo Boss Cavell would urge that part of the able-badied popula- tion of a village threatened with extinction by a forest fire, should devote theniselves in the face of the oncaming holocaust ta the task of raising funds for next winter's charitv bazaar. Nik Cayel]. like Aneurin Bevan, clear- ]y believes that even in times of gýrave international emergency, butter should flot take second place ta guns. Our' street corner philosopher dlaims there are three ages of women: the tee hee age; the lie age, and the tea age.

Ottawa pital. We were ail very praud when it opened and we had a chance ta inspeet it. Those who have been patients in the new hospital have been delighted with the treatment ànd efficient attention they re- ceived there. The campaign has been going for over three weeks, yet so few canvassers have most citizens in town and country are agreed ta give some of their time that stili ta be contacted. We say ta aur citi- zens in this dire emergency, if you are înterested in the Hospital; if you think you or your family will ever need its services, give now of your time and money ta help this most worthy cause. We know your help will pay dividends when an emergency cames ta you or someone you love. Ail of us and none of us are ta blame for the present situation on this campaign and, indeed, on the hospital's finances. Many of us prefer ta let someone else take aur load of the responsibility in com- munity efforts, while we sit back and criticize. It's no time now for back-biting or critîcism. It's time for action, united, wholehearted action, and we must all do aur part even if it hurts. Let's not leave it ta the other fellaw. If this editorial hasn't aroused your interest ta immediate action, for the campaign ends November 3th, turn ta the annauncement on page 5 and read it. IT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY Comparatively few citizens realize their responsibility when it cames ta selecting candidates for municipal offices on Friday evening, Nov. 28th. Nomina- tions wiIl be held in Bowmanville and there will probably be as usual a last minute rush ta nominate citizens for var- ious offices. The probability is that many .wîll be named but few will allow their names ta remain onthe ballot. Citizens fail ta realize their own responsibility on such matters. They are ready ta criticize the Council for this, that and the other thing, but neyer ready ta be candidates for office themselves. Too often criticism is unkind and un- just. Members of Town Council, Board of Education and Public Utilities Com- mission spend hours and hours of time on town matters and take reams and reams of abuse. It is ta be hoped that more business men will allow their names ta go on the ballot, thus realizing their respon- sibility as citizens. The town's business has become big business and these civic offices are a good place for business men ta give public service for the betterment and advancement of this community. OBSERVATIONS AND OPINIONS Heme's a thought for reflection when you are deciding what -ta give ta the Emergency Hospital Appeal Fund: "Not what we gain, but what we give, measures the worth of the life we live." Just as Bowmanville is plunging inb the new and modemn civic business of operating an artificial ice aena wîth al its headaches and uncertainties of success we see wheme Dunville, a town about the size of ours, last yeam netted $1,000 ta reduce ils indebtedness. Continued demands for higher pay cannat be met if Canada is going ta re- main an exporting nation of industrial pro- ducts. Higher pay and other advantages cannot be granted certain groups if other groups are ta have the privilege of re- ceiving a faim standard of living through an equal effort. -Estevan Mercury. According ta a recent survey com- pleted by the Çanadian Manufacturers' Association il cosîs more than $8,400 ta give an employee a job. The sumvey of a faim cross-section of Canadian îndustry showed that in 1951 campanies employing 335,560 people required $2,827,729,000 in invesîmenîs or, $8,426 tied up in build- ings, equipment, raw materials and other goods in order ta provide one man with a job. Timeîy tips for new résidents: When moving ta a new neighbourhaod, il is a good idea ta become famuiar with the local utilities serving the home, the pro- teclive systems ai1d any other contribu- tions la the safety of the family. Knowing just where the neamest fire caîl boxes are situated; the phone numbers for firemen and police; and where and how ta turn off water and electriciîy in casè of emer- gency are simple matters, but might be very necessary in the event of an accident. In one colunin of the dailv press we read glowing and boasîful reports that Canadian fammers will harvest this year a record wheat crop of 688,000,000 bushels. And then in the same issue wve read where Agnes Macphail has just returned fnom England and is worrying about the way the British people are eaîing. "Il doesn't seem sensible that Canada should have an abundance of food and the British should be limited ta one egg and a bit of cheese weekly," Miss Macphail said. She thinks that if the women of Canada made cnough fuss, the gaverrument wouldn't have any trouble deciding what ta do with the sur- plus cheese and wheat.

That was quite correct so far as actions of the Nihilists were concerned, f or they believed in direct action by assassinatian or arson as the only incans of getting rid of the Czarist government. The Nihilists were not necessarily Sacialist. Nihilism stressed the need ta des- troy existing economic and social institutions, whatever was ta be the nature of the better order for which the destruction was ta pre- pare. The Nihilists were nat al agreed as to the nature of the new order, and their published pro- grammes included the establish- Iment of parliamentary govern- ment. But they had no central au- thority and small groups and even rndividuals were encouraged to plan and commit acts of terror- ism independently. With the Bolshevist revolution and the setting up of a Commun- ist regime, Nihilism, as applied ta the new gavernment, was of course prohibited. But the Com- munists continued the practice of Nihilism by annihilating, nat only the former ruling classes, but also their fellow Nihilists who were oppased ta Communism. After over thirty years af power the So- viet government is stili Nihilistic in its policy. Thousands of people have been liquidated and hun- dreds of thousands disappeared inta penal servitude in labor camps. Lenin called this policy "The liquidation of the liquida- tors," the reference being to the Mensheviks who favored a dem- o cratic form of gavernment. It wvas a case af Nihilîsts trying to anni ilate each other, and the Comtr nists won. They have ex- tended this polîcy ta their satel- lite cauntries and toalal cauntries by means of propaganda and or- ganized disruption of industry through labor unions.

Citizens af Bowmanville have success- fully conducted many public projeets in the past, and more will probably be faced in future, but the greatest and mast important projeet we have ever tackled is the building of the Memorial Hlospital. Certainly the hospital as it stands proud- ly on Liberty St. is a concrete* tribute to the volunteer workers and donated dollars that form- ed its beginning. We cannot allow even a small 'part of it ta close down for lack of funds. We, as citizens of Bowmanville, must ensure that the present Memorial Hospital Emergency Appeal for funds reaches its $60,000 objective. We must put out shoulders ta the cam- paign wheel and open aur pocket books. We must make sure that the campaign succeeds so that we will know that the present drive for funds will be the very last, and'that aur modern, beautiful hospital is debt-free. As Mayor of Bowmanville, I arn asking you ta support the Emergency Appeal sa that we can get the job done. Only $60,000 stands between us and a debt-free Memorial Hospital.
