The Canadian Statesman, a weekly pubiished at Bowman-' ville, has joined that select- group-it was fouinded in 1854 and thus is celebrating 100 years of continuous service. The Statesman is published bY the James Publishing Coni- pany and its present editor is Mr. George W. James.

He pointed out that it wu only by the cooperation of th b general public and the coupera tion of the other service club that the Lions Club has beeî able to carry on its communit, service work. ber- Kinsmen Hlstory Outllned President Ken Nicks of thi C5 Kinsmen Club explained tha wsthe Canadian Association o aras- Kinsmen Clubs was founded ii *n- Hamilton in 1920. Membershi] icsl made up of young men be 0- tween 21 and 40 of good charac to- ter who àre business and pro. m-d fessional men in the variow bed- communities.- There are nov e-over 200 Kinsmen Clubs ir "' Canada with 10,000 members he said. i- Bowmanville Kinsmen Clui an- was formed in April, 1950 witf er 22 chai ter members. One of thE edll first community service projecti 'ns was the furnishing of a ward ir :)-the Memorial Hospital. Shortly ietafterwards the club undertoo< ire to finance the bifdly-needed a-artificial ice at the Bow- ail manville M em or ial1 Arena î1This newly - formed club ol are only thirty members at t -to - for this 'major project, he said, tej and is stili devoting a large por- a inof its funds to it. Its mem- ch' bers are confident that this pro- the ject will be brought to a success- for fui conclusion sooner than was aat first anticipated. eis Kinsmanship is concerned za- with community betterment and service and is based on high the ideals, President Nicks declar- ign ed. Its crest, made up of the St. ..,v Andrew's Cross and a square, ;d, symbolizes these ideals. The ted cross stands for service by per- u- sonal sacrifice and the square km. for uprightness, rectitude and his integrity of character. The in- in terweaving cf these symbols rd signifies the crossing of the w_ paths of individual Kinsmen in p-the purpose of service and stands as a piotest agaînst iso- lation. îe Explains Legion Purposes ýr Stanley Dunn, a Past Presi- ip dent of the Bowmanville Branch ed of the Canadian Legion, repres- he ented President Ross MeKnight ngand explained that the Cana- ng dian Legion was incorporated ce under the Statutes of Canada - in 1927 and again in 1948. Mem- g-bership is open to ail ex-service- Inmen who have served honorably n for more than six months in the ed armed forces of Canada or any re member of the Commonwealth. as The Canadian Leglon differs il from, service clubs in that it is i. concerned mostiy with protect- h ing the interests of ex-service- n- men and their dependents, and 'o. foseing patriotism and na- d, tioa unity. One of the prime ;functions of the Canadian Le- gion is to assîst needy veterans and make sure that the widows and dependents of those who have failen In battle do flot suf- fer hardship or want. Service officers pald by the Legion also assist veterans in matters re- taining to expansions, he said. It preserves the memory of the fallen by celebrating Re- membrance Day each year and assists in the education of the children of ex-servicemen. He pointed out that the mem- bership in the Canadian Legion is very large but there are stili mLany veterans who do not be- long. Such ex-servicemen are losing a great deal of fine com- radeship and friendship by flot beionging, he said. Local Braneh Formed I 1930 Bowmanviile Branch of the Canadian Legion was founded in September, 1930, he stated, and now has a membership of over 300. It purchased the Gould property on Queen St. ln 1946 and during 1952 and 1953 added a fine *new hall to the original property. The Po'ppy Fund of the Branch, money for which is ob- tained through sales of poppies on November Il. is used to as- sist needy veterans and their families in town, to send fruit and cigarettes to those in hospi- tai and to send out Christmas baskets.

In 1953 the *township constructed a new iconcrete bridge at Leskard tc w replace the old wooden bridge. n This bridge was buiît on a new ssite, necessitating the changing of the water course of the bstream. Mr. Nicholson objected hto the chr.nging of the water *e course on his property and at Lpresent the new bridge is not nserving its intended purpose, y with the old bridge taking the kflow of water. Harry Davey dstated that the bridge shouid not *have been buiît in its present location. A committee of H. Da- ,fvey, J. T. Brown and E. Walkey ewere appointed to interview 0Mr. Nicholson to see if a satis- 1factory arrangement could be arrived at. 1 Letter was received froT Durham County District Higt School Board asking Clarke sCouncil to give their authoriza- tion of the United Counties of 1Northumberland and Durham tc 1issue debentures for one mi!- lion, forty thousand dollars and agreement for this municipality to assume its proper proportion of the amounts required to pay for the said debentures and in- terest and the expenses to be determîned from time to time ln the manner provided by the High School Act. Clarke Council decided to take no action. The majority of ithe municipalities had sanction- ed the building of a new schooi in Port Hope and addition to the present school in Bowmanville. Council is opposed to the addi- tions of Bowmanville school, as they feel they will be inade- quate in accommodation before its completion.
