W. MAMES, EDiTon The Editor Cleans Hia Desk Before Leaving for Holidays It's been a busy week liround The Statesman office. The Editor, after many weeks of threatening, has decided to take some holidays. We're flot sure yet that he really is going, but the signs look more certain this time. We. the substitutes, are doing our best to get prepared, just in case he isn't fooling this time. One very definite sign, that has always marked an important event, has showed up. We refer to that holy of holies, the Editor's Desk. For monthg and somnetimes years, its top has remnained hidden, smoth- ered completely by a mass of correspond- ence, clippings, paste pots, scissors, f iling baskets, old newspapers, photographs and other material. We were amazed Monday morning to find that the desk top actually bas a beautiful oak finish. Sometime over the weekend, Ye Editor had a field day clearing it off. Where the debris went is an untold secret, but we suspect he bundled it up and took it home to his wife to burn with the leaves. So, if you f ind this printed at the top of the Editorial column, you will know that the rest of the material below was produced under new managemérnt. No blame can be attached to the Editor. Prob- ably be'll be visiting is newspaper cronies insome other parts of the province. We wish himn happy holidaying wherever he may be, and will welcome him home to his desk which by then will be piled high with a new crop to be cleaned off. Where Big Hips are Handyl This week, the senior and intermediate hockey schedules get underway in our local ice palace, with the fans assured of plenteous activity from now until spring. In urging district citizens to support Arena activities, we must, at the same time, draw attention to a peculiarity of the game of hockey as it is now played. It is one recreation where an over-develop- ed posterior is definitely an advantage. One of these days, someone may develop a padded bustie for hockey players with tiny hips, so every contestant will be on an equal footing. How the trend started is difficult ta learn, but at Saturday night's exhibition game, the rear reigned supreme. Every time a forward tried to pass a defenceman, that stalwart, skating backward, flipped bis rear end out trying to catch the advancîng opponent amidships. When a player found himself with the puck close to the boards, invariably a flying rear end came et him. If he were nimble, hé quite often managed to sidestep thé fast-mov- ing buttock which crashéd into thé boards with a resounding smash, the owner look- ing sheépish. If too slow on his feét, he found himself squashed and impaled on the wood, every bone in his body jarred so honoréd, but have refrained from ,ýpub- 1.shing thé names until wé had the com- pleté list for this area. We have forwarded a réquést for this information to the Secretary of State's Office at Ottawa and éxpect to receive a reply within a few days. From our point of view and that of our readers, it is regrettable that the responsible information officers did flot forward list3 for publication as soon as the awards were made. Thé medals we have seen are excep- tionally beautiful and those who have received them certainly will treasure them as mémentos of a history-making occasion. Average hourly earnings in major industries in Canada as ot February, 1953, were $1.34. comparéd witi, the figure of 70 cents in 1945, an increase in the eight yearra of 91 per cent. Artlstlc Hcllow'en Prankuters Force Fail Wlndow Cleaning We'vé noticed a new trend ln Hal- lowe'en pranks the past couple of yéars- not only in .Bowmanville but in other municipalitiés boa. Now that niost plumb- ing is indoors, autos much toa diffîcui and dangerous to upset compered with the old-time buggy, and thé picket fence alrnost extinet, thé kids have had te find sométhing ew to maké thé aid folks mad. So, on Sunday morning, practically evéry window along front street was decorated with streaks and patterns put on with soap. Whilé most of the inérchants accepted this with résignation, it bas alsa forced many ta change théir feli and winter plans. Throughout the coming weeks, up until freeze-up timé, we expeet ta ses business men or their helpers perched hi gh on lad- dérs or wielding long sticks with brushes on the end, cleaning the Hallowe'en soap from thé windows. Thé customers should give a voté of thanks to thé kids béceusé Bowmanville stores now will open thé winter séason with spotless windows, enabling them ta sée thé merchandisé more clearly. Might we suggést that more Bowmanvillé people take advantagé of this clear, cleaner viéw te shop in town instead of vlsiting thé stores in some other centre. Your business men nééd your patronage, and will ap- preciaté a visit from yau. It's Timne ta Start Planning For Our Municipal Elections Just thrée wééks fromn tomorrow, Nov. 27th, noininations will hé beld for Bowmanville Town Council, threé mém- bers of thé Public Schools Board and one member of thé Public Utilities Com- mission. In addition, there wiIl bé nom- inations for township and village munici- pelitiés througbout thé district. It's timé now to start thinking about it. In Bowmanville, rumaurs are flying that most of last year's council will hé retiring. If this is true, thére will be a reel neéd for néw men or womén ta f ili thé vecancies. . Thére is an opportunity hère for rel service on thé part of citizéns, and considérable satisfaction for those who serve.

With éach of us sharéholdérs intérest- éd in kéeping this community financially Sound, wé should make it aur individual business ta make certain wé havé a good Board of Diréctors-which is aur Town Cauncil. Thé Mayor, Reéve, Deputy-Reeve and thé six Councillors must hé men or women willing ta maké sacrifices for thé overail good of thé municlpality. Théy must have business ability and be pré- paréd et ah timés ta défend théir actions against criticism. Théy must bé patient and undérstanding with thosé who bave problems, exactly thé sae as if théy weré in chargé of a business corporation. Thosé of us who do not seeaur way dlean ta serve on this Board o!

In fect, in thé pàst, no hired employée would teke thé abusé whîch bas béén handéd out to somé councillors or othér éléctéd muni- cipal officiais.

But, for thé bénefit of those who may hé considéring it their duty ta offér themn- selves for one of thèse elected posts, wé should hasten toaedd that théré are many satisfactions ta offset thé criticism which is part o! thé job. At thé end of thé year, éach councillor will bé able ta speak more cléarly, with greatér knowlédge o! muni- cipal affairs than hé could at the start of his térm. Hé will hé able ta look about thé town and sée wberé bis efforts havé made improvements wbich will hé a lest- ing monument ta his térm o! office.

Morrison, Ph.D., Windsor, a nélghbor of Mrs. M. M. Todg- hem, formerly of Bowmanville. for sending us the following: story of a trip from Montreai to Toronto made just 100 years ago this month. Mn.

Hi& description affords us e glimpse of a section of Canada, known now ta Wes- tern Ontario travelers, as it wes at thet time. "On Friday (October 7, 1853) et 12 o'ciock I took the cars et Montreal for Lachine, where the boate leavé for the upper routes. I took the New Ena, an oid boat comarnendèd by Captain Parker, a fine gentleman. The trip aven thé upper portion of the River St. Lawrence is interestlng and the ascent is réndened doubly so by the canal through which the boats ere compelled to pass.
