PAGE TWO THE CANAIAN STATESMAN, BOWMANVILL. ONTARIO THURSDAY, SEPT. 3rd, 195s tL>1ITORIALS DURHAM COUNTY NEEDS A RURAL MUSEUM From time t4, time we have urged through thîs column the idea of estabiish- ing a museum in Bowmanville ta house the furniture, furnishings, toals, impie- ments, etc., of the pioneers of Durham County, but littie interest has been creat- ed. Now we see where the Farmer's Advocate is pramoting the same idea, so we will pass on the ideas expressed by this splendid publication, hoping it wvil1 create a responsive chord in the minds of somne of our readers. Here's what the Advocate says: It will be worth what it costs ta gather up and preserve a complete col- lection of the tools and impiements with which the pianeers conquered the forests of Ontaria and hewed out homes in what then must have been a stern and chai- Ienging country. A sampies of the homes they built should be re-created in some lasting form and in it there ought ta be saved for posterity ta see the gadgets an4 utensils with which the womenfolk of that time reared, fed and clothed families. 0f course, there are collections of one kind and another already in existence; The Origin of Labor Day In its original conception, Labor Day was anc set aside ta honor the industrial worker and the achievements of trade unions. Today it is still marked officially only by organized labor. Everyone else takes a holiday, but pays little attention ta the significance of the day itself. Yet the day has a meaning for ail of us. Trade unions themselves would be the first ta acknowledge that the day of out- right bostility between labor and manage- ment bas ended; that narrow-mîndedness on bath sides bas no place in the building of a greater Canada. And just as the fac- tionalism of yesterday is outdated, so bas the signifîcance of Labor Day moved with the times. On September 7th, everv employed person in Canada, from the company president down ta the office boy, will be taking a holiday. It is these millions of people, whether they belong in the labar or the management sections of industry, who are contributing ta the building of this country. There lies the real meaning of Labar Day - Canadians, labaring ta achieve a better, more prosperous Canada; a finer place in which ta live and bring up their families. Let there be trade union parades and celebrations on September 7th, but let there also be a moment's reflection by each of us an the broader concept of labor in Canada - the creation by our own free efforts of the kind of country we want aur children ta inherit. Polio Precautionà Ppliomyelitis, once thought ta be solei'y a children's disease, is striking at the. higher age brackets, says officiais of the Ail Canada Insurance Federation. Polio, sometimes called infantile par- alysis, is now almost as likely ta be found in aduits as in children, particularly the 24-49 age group. Medical officiais say that it is more apt ta be fatal ta aduits than ta children. -The peak season for- the disease is late 'August and September, but cases have been reported at other times of the year, say medical authorities. Polio does flot always bring death or even para]ysig. Marty people who are diagnosed as having polio may have no more seriaus symp- tom than a sore throat, but they are capable of spreading the disease ta others. Officiais of the Ail Canada Insurance Fed- eration, which represents more than 200 fire, automobile and casualty insurance campanies, say that certain precautians are advisable particularly duririg August Rnd September: i. Make sure milk or ,vater is safe. 2. Wash ail uncooked food thoroughly. 3. Keep f lies off food, 4. Prevent children from putting fingers in mouths; keep them away from public swimming pools and gatherings; see that they do flot become over-tired. 5. Avoid intimate association with the family of a persan who has been stricken with polio within the last three weeks, even if he is in the hospital. 6. On the first sign of any illness, put children ta bed and cail a physician. People are most susceptible, say doc- tors, when tonsils or adenoids have been recently removed; when chilled from swîmming or playing in -wet bathing suits; but none is complete, most of them are1 insecurely housed, their perpetuity is floti secure and for the most part they lack the stamp of authenticity with which a pro- vincial rural life museum should endow an exhibit of this kind. In their effort ta provide Ontario with a suitable rural life museum, the Federated Women's Institutes are deserv- ing of encouragement and of the utmost support. It is a worthy cause that should be carried forward aggressively, because1 with the passing of time. we add width and depth ta the chasm between past and present. Every year priceless, irreplace- able relies of the bygone days go into junk heaps, are consumed in fires or are im- paired by inevitable decay. Such a praject is worthy of substant- il endowments, but if such are flot forth-q coming the Ontario legisiature should sec I to it that funds in sufficient amounts are made available s0 this enterprise in char- acter and design, will be in keeping withi the wealth, educational standards and cultural attainments of this province . 1 or wvhen too strenuous exercise bas been taken. Fatigue is dangerous. Alxvays consuit your physician and be sure his advice is followed. Canada Needs More Producer-Consumers The phenomenal post-war develoy ment of Canada is reai and as solid as ou utilization of natural resources permits but it is much toa light for beavy gaing ii rough seas. This country needs immediately twic( as many producer-consumners as we havi nowv. As it is, we are unable ta develol aur natural resources and ta produce food goods and services at casts low enough t( sustain a strang economy in a worl( ecanomic reaction. Our first and greatest need is to doublE aur home market ta make passible op. timum efficiency in the mass praductiai of the essentials of if e. With thirty million people Canadî: cauid do its fair share in maintaining de. fences against aggression by manning al' of tbe defences on aur awn soil and by cantributing ta wbatever common defencE may be- necessary. Today we are concerned about thE menace of Russia which, when it is con- tained, will be succeeded by new or resurg- ent menaces. Only enough producer-consumners anc defenders can provide a f irm basis for Canadian develqpment and security. An Answer ta Confusion Dr. Frank Buchman, head of the Mor- ai Re-Armament Movement, broadcast a message ta tbe world from London, Eng. land, on June 4th, which was bis 75th birthday. Here are key-note extracts from this address: "While statesmen plan for armies and conferences and alliances, the disruptive forces win a dockworker, a civil servant, a scientist, a soldier, a sehoal teacher. Tbey mobilize the grievances, the bitterness, the right- cous longings for a better world in the hearts of these men. They set them an the march with a tata] commitment ta capture the world with their idea. So while cabinets cail for more pro- duction, there are "slow-downs" in industry. While statesmen caîl for another canference, vital secrets are betrayed. While everyone calîs for unity between nations, disunity grows within nations. What is the answer? The statesmanship wbich can set the ordinary man on the march with a vision, comradeship and plan ta re- make the world. "This is the cure for confusion-- making God ,the decisive authiorîtv -not saying "Yes" with our lips onlv, but also withi the discipline of aur lives. It makes you natural, it makes you real. You necd neyer turv to appear wiser or better than vou re ally are. This is the sort of person people will flock ta and follow. "This is my seventy-fifthi birthi- day. 1 have had long experience in many lands.

Sask., rfound a mani that fulfilis al those requirements and more. He is William Kenneth Walls, managîng director of the Barrie Examiner. In bis early -forties, Walls had the great advantage of being *born into the newspaper busi- ness. His father learned the *printing trade in Tottenham, not far from Barrie, and later published the Elmvaie Lance in sthe saine general area. Ken Walis was neyer really out of range of printer's ink except possibiy when he was finishing bis formai education at Victoria College, Toronto. By that time his father 'vas a partner of the late J. A. MacLaren of the Bar- rie Examiner. Back in the 80s Alex MacLaren wvas a student at Bowmanville High School, living in the village of Enniskil- ]eni where his father, Rev. J. MacLaren, was the Presbyterian min iste r Young Walls newspaper ca- reer began as an Examiner car- rier boy. He also worked as a heiper in the printing plant dur- ing his schooi days. It was not until 1931, however, that he ac- tualiy joined the paper's staff, taking over the advertlsing sales -a job he held until 1947. Until 1948 he also served as sports editor. When his father died, Ken be- carne business manager, and in 1940 when, the firm incorporated lie became vice-president and contînued as business manager and associated editor. He is now president of the firm. But getting out a flourishing tri-weekly town paper is only Part of Wali's busy life. As weli he is expected ta produce week- lv papers for the nearby Army and RCAF' camp at Borden. He is a much sought after public speaker, plays in the town band, bas been anl orchestra leader, and is active in cburch work, service clubs and severai kinds of sparts. During the war he held a commission ini the local Grey and Simcoe Foresters re- girnent and acted as chairman of publicitv in six Victory Loans. All this sort of thing, bowever. Walls considers part of his regular newsPaper life. He puts it this xvay: "You have ta get out and mecet yoaur readers and ]et them know iust what is invoived in your iiewspaper and what you are lrying to do for thern.
