THURDAY FE. lOh, 955THE CANADIAN STATESMAN. -BOWMANV!LLE, ONTARIO- PA ~ Chamber Commerce Executive Hosts to Town Council Mam bers .To Promote Closer Cooperation Methods by which dloser co- Operation can be obtained be- tween Town Council and Cham- ber of Commerce on matters vitally affecting both bodies were« discussed at an informai dinner meeting tendered to the touncil members by the Cham- ber of Commerce Executive. The meeting, which was attended by ail but one member of each body, was held in the Balmoral Hotel Thursday evening. Chamber President Art Hoop- er weicomed the council mem- bers to the informai gathering and expressed the gratification cf the Chamber Executive that go many were able to attend. He then turned the meeting over to Membership Chairman Elmer Banting who outlîned present thinking of the Chamber on the rnatter of attracting new in- dustry to Bowmanville. He pointed out that the bal- ance between residentiai and in- dustrial assessment is rapidiy getting out of line to the extent that the residentiai property owner is bearing too heavy a share of taxation. Bow.manville is becoming even more of a dormitory town for Generglj Motors than it has been in the past, he said, and while General Motors workers contribute great- ly to the town's taxation coffers Paint a room today.

The Goodyear firm carnies the main industnial tax ioad in Bowmanville, be said, and point- ed out that if one or twe more industnial firms could be induc- ed te establish' plants here, it would help greatiy in reducing the tax load on the residential property owner. Need fer Services Increased In the past, Mr. Banting said, the argument against industriai grewth had been that it would have meant tee many expenses for new schoels, new water sup- plies, and new services such as streets and scwers. Hewever, the iast few years bas proved that the town bas had ta suppiy these things anyway without having the încreased industniai assessment te hclp foot the bill. He stressed the fact that in- dustnial promotion is a highly competitive field as evcry town in Ontario is secking new in- dustries. To do the proper job on industrial promotion, he said, the Chamber wou]d nccd funds for this purpere and aise a man who could devote a good percentage cf bis time te this work. Councillor LioycfPreston, who Lander Hardware 7 KING ST. E. PHONE MA 3-5774 was Chairman cf the lndustrial Committee of Town Coundil lasi year and aise Chairman cf the Industrial Promotion CommitteE cf the Chamber, stated that hE had been hampered by a lack al funds and felt that counici] shouid earmark funds for this purpose in the 1955 budget Mr. Banting reported that i a questionnaire he had sent te 20 Chambers in Ontario they had reported that a part-time or fuIl-time Secretary-Manager te h a n d i e industrial prcmotion work is a necessity. Tbey had aise found that the ideal in- dustriai pçemotion set-up for a tawn or city ccnsists cf such a sccretary-manager, the chairman cf the tcwn council industriai promotion committee. plus the chairman cf the Cbamber's In- dustrial committee and one oth- er live-wire Chamber member. The Secretary-Manager's salary is usually paid partly by the town for the work he does on industriai and tcuristor public- ity promotion and partly by the Chamber of Commerce. The Council members agreed te gîve consideration te allocàt- ing funds for industriai promo- tien work when the 1955 budget is drawn up. Suggests Parks Commlttee Mr. Banting and Ray La- thangue, Chairman of the Re- creation, Health and Beautifica- tion Committee of the Chamber, aise outlined te the counicil rnembcrs some thoughts the Chamber bas had on maintain- ing and establishing parks in the tewn. This committee feels that the creatien cf a Parks Cern- mittec of Town Council might be valuable in overseeing the maintenance cf present parks and heading up efforts te pro- cure new cnes. The site along the vallcy cf Vanstone's Creek, seuth of No. 2 Highway, was discusscd as a natural park lo- cation and Mr. Banting pointed eut that if a Parks Committee cf council was formed it might serve as a co-ordinating body te work toward creation cf a park there. He feit that such a pro- jeet might draw strcng support fremn the three service clubs, existing park associations and other community-minded organ- izatiens if a central body exist- ed te co-ordinate their efforts. Mayor Nelson Osborne thank- cd the Chamben Executive for the invitation te attend the in- formai get-together cf thé two organ!4ýations, and feit that through working together on common problemns these twe organizations may do a great deal te furthen progress cfth town.

Thousands of people went te church te sup- plicate the good God te bring the end cf the wan as soon as *passible because s0 manypee- pie and children were in se great need. At last the Cana- dians came over the border and the praise cf many went up te heaven, for the end cf the war was net fan away any wcre. They were Canadtian fathers, sans and boy friends who did fight for weeks and wecks. Thousand of tbem were kiiied fan from those that loved thern and wbo are buried in the Dutch ground where their graves are covered with flowers by child- ren. Se many cf them came back mutilitated and so many with the troubied memory of those days. And months o! hun- gry deeds and aggressions did foliow yet. But the 5th of May 1945 the peeple criçd thnougheut the whole country «'H-oiland is free!" Meetings cf thanksgîving were held in ail the different churches. Holland was freed again by the Canadians. Our country bad te be bufit Up again. The possibilities cf emigrat- ing was iooked inta by thous- ands of families who sought a future for tbemselvcs and their children. Canada was a land of many possibilities many said. And se.' many Dutch people came te Canada. The Canadians were aur friends-much more than aur friends. They gave their lives for us, and found their last rest- ing place in Dutch grcun.d. Thousands cf emigrants came te this goed land that did help1 us with everything and te frue1 us again. But the Canadian way e! liv- ing was in many ways se dîf- fenent te what we wcre used to in Holland. Some people said, the Canadian people live super- ficially. And 1 ask mysel! hcwv can one take the rigbt, te speak with such pride. And I ask again is your way af life se ight and good? And there were ather ones who think the schoei bere is ne goed and they pub- lished that tee, and want te have a sehoci for the Dutchi cbildren alane.« They say. the Canadian schoois are fan below our ne- iigious dignity. And 1 ask again, is the religieus teaching here then se different or net enough like you want it? Is your doc- trine then se weak that you can't make this geod in. your own church's young peaples grcups and at home? Do yoLié know what a slap in the face1 this is fer every Canadian andE their cbildren whe are net geodr enougb ta go te schcol with the( children that corne from Ha-i- land? I think this is net good fori worid peace te be scparatingT the chiidren ai*ready.

Dean Sir: Wbile net wishing te get into a mud slinging affain with tbe Onono fan who in laist week's Statesman teok a crack at tbe Bowmanviile teamn in a siy way by stating--quote "a doLlbt is left as te wbether the weund that required a number of stîtches te the Orono playeres eye was accidentai or net, by a Bowmanviile piayen"-it ap- peans truc facts are in orden. Having attended the game in Newcastle Jan. i9th it is a mosi alarming and amazing infer- ence by cur Orone fniend. The facts up te this time, show the cause cf the injury te the Or- ono player is unknown te the Bowmanville Club, the Oreno Club, and the referee. The inci- dent happened away from the play and went unnoticed by the referee, hence ne penalty was imposed. The inference cf deliberate iniury is as fan stretched as my saying "it would appear that the injuny te Dean West's eye was donc delibcrately by one o! his own fellow players". Wc ail have a great deal of respect for Dean West and I feci sure your infenence of de- liberate injury te him by a Bowmanvilic playen is net the thinking o! the Orona Manage- ment and playens. Bowmanviile is net a dirty team as statistics show, but if thcy werc, and spent as much time in the penalty box as you infer the Club bas certainly cbalked up an outstanding re- cord since Jan. l9th with 7 wins and 1 loss in thein last 8 games. We agrcc with yeu that games are net won in the penalty box, hence the excel- lent record. Whilc we admire a loyal fan, it would appear the crying towel is eut duc te Or- ono's unfentunate poon record these past fcw wceks. With regard te your suggest- ion cf more home town piayers and loer prices, wc hcartily agnee if it wcne feasible. The fact is we had lean ycars in th-2 development of players due te lack o! ice, and a team compris- cd o! ail home tewn players is impossible for the present, and we will be pieased ta ice a tearn with some Oshawa players fer a few years yet. These players set a good ex- ample for up and coming yeung Bowmanville players bcth an and off the ice and we are proud of them. The team meets O.H.A. requirements in every respect. Since artificial ice was availabie we have bad a sound Miner Hockey League pnogram in~ eperation which wiil insunei plenty of local hockey talent in the years te corne. In ail likeli- bood we will bave some players available in a few years te heip eut our neighbouning towns. With regards te pnices for1 hockey games in the Arena we do net considen thcm eout cf lîne witb present day cests. 1 u'n- derstand in the aid days when the 'Taylor Rink' was in opera- tien admission ,price was .35c with wages running at .35.tei .40e per boun. Present prices are up approximately 114%7 and likewise wages are up approxi- matciy 400%. As wages advance pnices go up accordingly. This appears to make cemmen sense. I doubt very much if a teamn cemprised of ahl local talent and lower admission prices is the key te large crowds at this time. As you likely know attendance figures threughout Ontario & Quebec on the average are away down from the good aid 'radio days." In time peole tvill tire of TV and the cycle will change whereby crowds will reappear at hockey games in goodly numbens. In closing would like ta ne- peat that Bowmanviile fans and playens bave a great deal cf respect fer Orono players and trust that your inference a!
