PAGE TWELVE TEE CANADIAN STATESMAN. EOWMANVILLE. ONTABTO THURSDAY, FER Srd. 1958 Lettors t. the Editor To whom it rnay concern: These are just a few of the disdvantages of civic garbagel Collection as 1 see them. 1. The person with oniy a smail lot of garbage wiil have to pay as much as the one with hait - truck load. 2. It will put the Town toaa lot of unnecessary expense, which will put taxes up, and then renta wil go up for the poor man. 3. Under the present systemn the men that pick up the gar- bage have ta keep their awn trucks in repair, and tliey only coliect if they take garbage away, under civic collection it is compulsory and you have t'o pay each month whether you needed garbage taken or flot, if you break any-of the rules you are hiable te a fine. that is the way it is run in other Towns, eo look before you leap. Mrs. Lillian Lingard Bowmanville, Ont. Mr. Editor, The statement re: Garbage collection in your recent issue ta my way of thinking is al wrong. At present we have four, possibly five men, who are daing a first class job of collecting garbage, who own their own trucks, supply their own help to aperate them, buy gas and ail at no cost to the town. Whereas the statement says it will cost the taxpayers $16,912.00 to star£ collection, and cost $8,759.00 each year after. I have had Mr. Burgess col- lect our garbage for years and he lias given good service. Our tax rate is high enough at present time and as these men make a good living and do a gaod service, why add $8,759.00 ta our present tax bis every year? The taxpayers at this time shouid surely vote the proposed proposition down if a vote were asked of their opinion at the poils. Yours truiy. F. C. Pethick Mr. Editor, 'A recent article appeared in your editién of Jan. 2th un- der the heading "Generous Treatment of Farmers," and the question asked, "What other group in Canada is more generousiy treated by govern- ments, through subsidies, than the farmers?" I would aiso like ta quote ornie figures on generous sub- sidies ta other groups. In 1953 alone Federal Gov't subsidies to other groups were as foilows: Unemployment Ins. $3 1,000,000 1Â dininistrative costs 22,000,000 tubsidies to gold .mines ----- - 11,000,000 eubsidies ta coal :mines-------7,000,000 Subsidies ta Raiways 7,000,000 Total -----$78,000,000 To Agriculture, as yaur quo- February Clearing Sale Paints at 3%to 50% off These are first grade paints In discontinued shades andliîne& A Real Money-Saver Corne in whlle the choice ls good Abernethy's Paint & Wallpaper 85 King St. W.

Even considering this the farmers received $10,020,444 in! subsidies for one year against; $78,000,000 in one year ta others. Mrs. Evelyn Prosser, Women's President o! O.F.A. Burketon. Orono, Ont.# Feb. 1, 1955 Mr. James, Editor, Canadian Statesman, Bowmanville, Ont. Dear Sir: I wish ta reply ta your writer of sports, especially in the iast issue. In regards hockey and games of sport, which is the skill of one team against anoth- e. Although the anc thing which I have noticcd in this Lake Shore icague, that seemsý ta predominate is, that if you1 can't win a game or position in1 the league, you try ta disable or injure the other team's play- ers ta gain your point. The game in question in Newcastle, wbere some spectators shouted,1 "Dirty Osliawa" leaves a doubt as wlietlier the wound that re-; quired a number of stitch es on the Orono star player's eye was accidentai or not, by a Bow-1 manville player. A later gamei in Bowmanville betwcen the1 same teams, a Bawmanv11l player without provocation siashed the same Orono star behind the legs that ecboed al over the Arena was sent ta tie penalty box. This same player and his brother, if they spent as much time on the ice as they do in the penalty box, might contribute more ta their team. At this same game I heard a Bowman- ville lady (if a lady) say, "That a boy Terry, mow 'em down". Aiso if such players would be in their proper positions ta acccpt the perfect passes set up by their coach the Bowmanville team miglit go places. In esponding ta the "jealous" remark Orono is only a littie township village, but bas a lot surrounding towns have not and the Orono people are justlyý proud of their basebaîl and Orono Orpians tcam wbo may anly have nine men at times, makes the others, ahd spectators take notice. Also in your complaint re- gards attendance. If you played more men of your home tawn (win or lose) and charge only 50 cents, you miglit have more hockey fans. Yours tuly. W. C. Evans. Local Committee Organize to Promote Alcohol Education *Last week The Statesman reported the formation of a Citizens' Committee for Alcohol Education. The concern o! this committee is the promotion of education, among ail ag.c groups, on the subject o! ai- cohol, its use and patentiali danger, and secondly ta form a came of organizatian ta op- pose any change in aur status as a dry town. Whether these two purposes can be success- fuliy combined emain ta be seen, but in the meantime, the committee is beginning it s work in the field of alcohol education. There are thmee kinds of drinkers, thase who drink, those who drink more than is good for them, and the com- pulsive drinkers or alcoholics. The second class easily grad- uate te the third class, and the first class is always an excel- lent source of new recruits for the other twa classes. Phy- sical or emotional.stress of any kind is the usual basis for a person's graduation fom ane class ta the ncxt, and since most of us face suci stress sooner or later in life every drinker is a patential graduate see our Va Ient ies There's one for your sweetheart, mother, dad, husband, uncle, auntie, son and daughter - and anyone else you think of.

The oid picture of the excess- ive drinker as a bold, bad, lie- man, or perhaps she-women, is as out of date as whiskey at $1.00 a keg. Modemn psychia tmic studies bave rather shown tIc bld lad Ie-màn ta le a Ipersan suffering frorn a variety of ilîs. sucli as fear, guilt, frus-ý tration ta naine a few basic' causes for immoderate drink- ing. The problem is ta per- suade such people that they need belp and ta persuade their stronger fellows ta offer tliem beip instead of censure. The moderate drinker bas ta be brouglit ta a realization o! bis potential danger. He is something like the boy hanging by bis fingertips ta the edge of a clif! shouting: "Sce Mom, I Iaven't fallen." At the saine time lie needs ta recognize lis responsibility ta bis weaker brethren. The - wholc pictume is com- plicated too by the fact that in this country liquar and beer are produced by private in- terests whose profits depend on the creation o! customers and thc opening up o! outiets, and by the fact that thc tax an alcoholic beverages lias proved a profitable one for- every government and easy ta collect. The manufacturera af alco. bolic beverages are spending vast sums in an effort ta find or create new markets. Witb this powerful and well-heeled group pushing the sale of al- coholie beverages regardless of' consequences, and accepting no financial responsibility 'for the unhappy rcsults o! their ef- forts, we are faced with a higbly dangerous situation. It is always easier ta prey on a people's weakness thun ta persuade them ta develop their strength. Howcver, th;s latter is wliat the Citizen sý Committee lias set itsel! ta do. It hopes ta lielp as many people as possible develop their spiritual muscles ta the place where tbey nced no shot ln the arm ta hclp them win the race of life. John Ham, Publicity Director.

H ampton Pastoral Charge Has Excellent Increases For 1954 We have now completed the congregation m ee ti n gs of Hamqpton pastoral charge and have before us a maze of figures and dozens of reports. These show increases in every depart- ment, bath as ta membership and attendance and finances. Our overaîl incarne for the year was $3,365 more than in the year 1953. There has been an increase in churcli membership, with 28 joining by profession of faith after preparatory classes. We have lost more members by, transfer than we have added by the same procedure. Each of the three church schools report more scholars, so that class- room --aecommodation is am, in- creased problem. Four hundred and twenty are on the rail and the average attendance is high. This bespeaks the splendid lead- ership that we have. Girls' work lias been very en- couraging. Two new arganiza- tions for girls have been started at Zian, at Eldad and one at Hamptan. The credit for this goes largely ta Mrs. F. Reed and the W.M.S. An Evening Aux- iliary has begun at Hampton, with fine leadership. Among the noteable features of the year's work lias been the holding of a Vacation Bible Schoal at Hampton for twa weeks in Jdly. Some 60 children were shepherded and taught by a score of local helpers, and s0 well that there is a demand for another this year. At Eldad a yaung. aduits group lias been arganized, with over 20 members. They cal themselves the "Three M's", since it includes the Mr. the Mrs. and the Miss of the past Y.P.U. This group lias an excellent programme, for the warking out of which they depend on them- selves. In each church there have been mucli needed repairs. The Zion Churcli ha§ been redecor- ated, making it one of the most charming of rural churches. Former worshîppers there, have presented a graceful Communion table and a Bible and stand for the same. Eldad lias instalied a new heating systemn. Zion also lias replaced the roof of church and repaired the shed. At Hampton a new heating system lias replaced the aid and warn- out furnaces, whule the ladies now have a new kitchen and a new electric stove. Whule mak- ing ail these impravements, none of the cangregations have gone into debt, nor have they lessen- Memorial Hospital Weekly Report (For the week of Jan. 23- 30) Admissions ------------------ 40 Births - 7 maie, 3 female- 10 Discliarges 42 Major operations - 6 Minor operatians -----__14 Emergency treatments ------ 9 These facts are published weekiy in ant effort ta acquaint this cammunity with the services of aur haspital.

The- next meeting will be held at the home of Mr. and Mrs. 1Hilton ed their support of outside ap- peals. If we can continue in this wvay, aur thrce churches willbl yet marc worshipful for th in- creasing cangregatians. We must not forget ta men- tion the very stimulating service aur chairs have given us.
