1' PAGE TWO T~ CAIUDTAa WrAT~MAW ~flWMA?'TV1T.T.1~ flWt'A~?Ii EDJ TORIALS Barons Hockey Club The Bowmanville Barons Intermediate Hockey Club has put away its equipment for another year, after what bas been a very successfi.M season in providing this popular brand of winter entertainment. Re-organizing the Intermediate Hockey Club last fali with no equipment, no funds and very few players available, the Exec- utive of the club did a very commendable job of building up a strong team. Headed by Team Marfager Frank Jamieson, Pres- ident Walfer DeGeer, Secretary-Treasurer Nelson Osborne and Vice-President Blain Elliott, the executive put on a drive for funds with which to equip the team, hine former N.H.L. star Ernie Dickens as play- ing-coach, and get the club organized for the winter. The public responded very generously to this appeal for funds, and before the season was over nearly $ 1,900 had been collected. With these funds to work with, the execulive bought complete equipment for the team, entered the Lakshore Intermed- iatç "A" Hockey League and began as- sembling players. Frank Hooper decided to play for bis home town and was made Captain. Five players from Oshawa were signed up, and with a few former Inter- rnodiate players and other local boys who had previously played only Town League hockey, a team was buit up. This team succeeded even better than its executive had dared to hope at the start of the season. During regular league play the Barons won 14 games, tied one and lost 15 to end in fourth position with a com- fortable margin over Lakefield and Port Hope. In the semi-finals tbey went against the Cobourg Comets, a powerful hockey club that had led the Lakeshore League &Il season and finisbed up in first place. Oh for "5The Anyone listening to the address given by P. C. Rowe at the Men's Canadian Club on Wednesday night of last week, neported elsewbere in this issue, would be forced to one of two conclusions - eitber that Mn. Rowe is an idealist, or a died-in-the-wool left-wing Socialist. Mn. Rowe, classed as an aften-dinnen farmrer, is now living "the life of the idle ich" among bis books near Janetville. He bas in bis career beld positions in the banking industry, and with the Social Credit Party of Alberta. He edited the Socred newspaper in Albenta, and in 1935 went to the House of Com- nions as a Social Credit memben from an Albenta iding. In 1940, however, be sivitcbed bis affiliation from the Social Credit Party and sat as an Independent. Mn. Rowe's opinions since that time would seem ta bave become soured against any economic system wbich bas made Canada a great nation. He now bas no good word for either the banking system, the Social Credit Party or our economic system of responsible enterpnise. He likened our present economic system ta a buge* cream separaton, with the labor of aur wonkers and the nesounces of field, forest, factory, mine and sea going in at the top and the wealth from them coming out the two spouts, (typically socialistic propaganda) . Mn. IRowe con- tends that there are too few people getting the cream, whîle the great majority get the skim milk. Mr. Rowe failed ta point out bowever, that there is nothing ta pre- vent our workers and citizens under our responsible enterprise system from moving This is the week when ail those people who hailed from the littie green island of Ireland will celebrate the day of their patron saint and shamrocks will dominate the decorations and cards, shar- ing the honor with harps and green rib- bons while a good many persons will think gratefully of a man who drove the snakes from his homeland. These are the tra-. ditions and the first thoughts to corne to mind. Yet Saint Patrick was flot canon- ized for them. Moved while he xvas in St. Martin's Abbey at Tours to undertake the con- version of the pagan Irish, this monk who had been sold into slavery to an Ulster chieftain and subsequently escaped to France, founded over 360 churches, baptîz- ed with his own hand more than 12,000 persons and ordained a great number of priests. He made bis See at Armagh about the year 454. Accordîng to the encyclo- pedia there are preserved his "Confes- sions" and a letter addressed to a Welsh chief named Carotic, both written in barbarous Latin but of historical value. But whether or flot he, as is claimed, drove out ail the venernous creatures in the island, his fame remains to this day when ail those with Irish blood or Irish î4t eamui 54tafenur KstabUhd 1854 wth whicb in incorporrted T'hé bowmaavillmNowa.

Observations and Opinions It remains a source of amazement that people continue ta bring in wnitten contri- butions for the news columns with the admonition that it must be 'pninted f6exactly as is." We tbaught it bad been well enough understood that wbat is published and bow is the editor's sole pre- rogative. A great American once said these words, wbich are worth repeating: "Amongst comfortable folk, conscience is rarely at home when justice knocks at the door; it is gone avisiting, or it is busv, or is waiting upon Caesar; or is gone forth ta pray. Comfortable folk do not like clanior, even from the prophets, and are, content ta leave justice ta God with the hope that he will nat disturb their buis- iness.". Credit The Bowmanville team played terrific hockey in this series to take three straigbt wins - two of tbem on Cobourg ice. In the finals for the Lakesbore League Championsbip the Barons played off with the Lindsay Muskies, a very strong club wbich more or less coasted tbrough the negular schedule but was still good enough to finish in second place. Although they failed to win a game in their best-of-seven finals with the power-packed Muskies, it was not for lack of trying as tbey gave it everytbing tbey bad. This- spirit, in fact, bas marked the Barons' efforts ahl season. There bas been little or no dissension on the club and the players all gave the best possible effort without receiving any pay for their services. Tbey played only in the hope of sbaring a split on profits - if any - at the end of the season. Manager Frank Jamieson informs us that sufficient funds will be netained fnom the small season's profit to buy necessary replace- ment equipment next faîl and get the team stanted for the 1955-56 season. The re- mainder will be divided among the play- ers, and tbey certainly deserve wbateven tbey neceive. Ail men-bers of the executive, the players tbemselves, and those actively connected with the club deserve a great deal of credit for their bard work during the past season. Manager Jamieson and Playing Coach Ernie Dickens in particular are to be commended for their untiring efforts on bebaîf of the club, wbich result- ed in Bowmanville becoming Lakeshore League finalists after many lèan yeans. With a good foundation to work on for the 1955-56 season it is hoped that the Barons will be able to step up one notch and bring the league cbampionsbip back to town. City of Our Dreams" over from the skim milk spout ta the cream spout, providing they bave the brains, initiative and ability to do so. Indeed, in the present ena of expansion and prospenity in Canada many people are in the process of doing s0 with eveny pass- ing day. In fact with the leisure, cane- free life Mr. Rowe now leads he migbt weli be classed as a capitalist. To correct the dreadful system, wbich be believes is faulty, Mn. *Rawe bas no concrete plan altbough be may bave bis pnivate tboughts on the correct metbod ta use) - and that makes bim an idealist. He did bave a nebulous solution how- ever, and bis Socialist solution was along the lines of educating aur youth ta co- aperate, ta "share the common toil" in order ta reacb what be called "The City of Our Dreams". No doubt Mn. Rowe's "City of Dreams" wfiere ail will share equally in the common wealth produced equally by all will be a wonderful place, but we think that be and those wbo bold the same views will bave to came up with a jnuch more concrete plan bef are it can be achieved.

In spite of many of bis audience agreeing ta disagree with bis pet theonies we really enioyed and admired bis candid and effective oratory in using the Canad- ian Club as a springboard ta unload bis thougbts on a complacent and bewildered public. 25 YEARS AGO West Durham Agriculturai Society decided ta tell their property and buildings in Bow- manville. Liabilities af the Sa- ciety were $2,700. Rev. Dr. D. W. Best and Dr. J. C. Devitt of the High School Board were appointed ta look into the question af renting the new auditorium ta outside par- ties. John M. James reported on his first attendance at a press convention of the Canadian Weekly Newspaper Association held at Montreal. While there he took in a show at Loew's and saw "Navy Blues", the same picture as was being shown at Tommy Ross Royal Theatre, Bowmanvîlle. Who said Bow- manville was slow? Offices for the Boys Training School were rfioved from the Darch House ta the new admin- istration building. D. R. Morrison was elected chairman of the Communitv. Welfare Committee which saw' ta the requirements af need;i, families. Mrs. James Courtice celebru- ted her 82nd birthday at the home af her brother, T. H-. Everson, Oshawa. A story on Orono's popular "Publicity Association" with 174 members was reprinted from the Toronto Star. Club members had a social time and boosted Orono. Provincial Police Constable W.

The Macassa was the first boat to arrive in Toronto for the season, coming f rom Ham- ilton, in charge of Capt. Coon- ey. George Warren on ieaving for the North West was presented with silver cake dish and a gold bracelet for Mrs. Warren by fellow workers at the Bow- manville Machine Shop. Death was recorded of Mrc.

The Maephail Memorlal The ever-growing importance aif women in Canada's public lufe was fuily recagnized last week at Ottawa by three events. On Tuesday Parliament put aside ail business for one hour to pay tribute ta the memary ai Canada's iirst woman mem- ber ai Parliament, the late Miss Agnes Macphail. Before and aiter the impressive ceremony ai unveiling a bust ai Miss Mac- phail, the corridors were filled with friends and members who recalled incidents, speeches and the humour ai this lady pion- eer. Canada's First "Persan"' The same day, Canada's iirst woman senator, Senator Cair- hie Wilson, was honored on her 25th anniversary in that august body. Until her appaintment an Feb. 14th, 1930, the Senate did not recognize wamen as "per- sans". The act had ta be chan.- ed ta permit her ta take her seat. Now Parliament is grac- ed by five female senatars and four women members ai the House ai Commons. Models Aid Red Croa Other praminent Ottawa w-amen came ta the aid ai the Red Cross on Saturday when, for a day, they became fash- ion modeis. The clothes they ware were made by the newly formed Association of Cana- dian couturiers. Included in the models were wives ai saine cabinet ministers, dipiomats, top civil servants and, ai inter- est localiy, Mrs. C. Roy Slemon. She is wife ai the Chief ai the Air Staff and a daughter of Dr. and Mrs. C. W. Siemon ai Bowmanvilie. That event I didn't attend, but undoubtedly the charming models raised a large amount ai money for the Red Cross. Gettig Out Tii. Vote The committee on Privileges and Elections received an in- teresting suggestion this week. A Montrealer felt he had a sol- ution ta the ever-increasing problem ai getting people out ta vote at federal elections. The extent of the problem may bc recognized whcn it is recalleci that in the 1953 election only, 67î ai the 8,400,000 voters t ook the trouble ta cast their ballots. Compulsory Voting? Some countries have over- corne the situation by compul- sory voting. There, electors who do not vote may be hailed1 inta court and even sent ta pri-1 son. Parliament in Canada has neyer feit it wise ta pass sim- ilar legisiation. ]Raffle For $1,000 The new suggestion is ta hold a raffle for $1,000 (tax- irce) in each ai the 265 fedemal constituencies. Voters v/ould be given a ballot and a nuin-c bered raffle ticket when they went ta the polling station. The two would be completed at the same time and hali ai the raf- fle ticket would be deposited In s sepamate box, with the voters keeping a stub. Sort of a door prize idea. Money for the pri-a zes, $265,000, wvauld be provid-t ed by the federal treasumy as part ai the general election costs. Guarantees Resuits The sponsor af this ides is wiiling ta guarantee that, witho thîs new idea. the next elec- tians would have a full turn-c out ai voters and arouse unoar- alleled interest in the esuits. t Samehow, I doubt if the ides will be adapted although it cen- tainly has possibilities Posslhlyh the committee on Lottemies which is aIso meeting at pres-m ent, might go into the matter more deeply. Need Skilled Workers The unemployment debate which has not been concluded, brought ta light one fact ai in- terest ta young people who are naw planning their hife careers. Practically ail of the unemploy- ed in Canada are unskilled workers. There is. stili a great shortage ai qualiiied skilled workers and professianal peo- pie. Young people who now have an opportunity, would be well advised ta take the small money returns ai an appren- ticeship in one ai the trades or continue their education as far as possible. In the long run, the monetary returns, the job sa- tisfaction and security wîil be much greater than if they grab for the quick return industrial jobs as so many have done in the past, ta thcîr sorrow later on. About the. H-Romb We had a frighitening study group meeting this week when General Worthington, Civil De- fence Coardinatar for Canada, explained the eifects, ai the ncw H-bomb. You'll be interested ta know that a littie H-bomb of 5 megatons (that's the equiva- lent ai five million tons of TNT) will biast a crater three miles wide, campleteiy destroy- ing everything inside that area. If you are there when it draps, you have nothing ta worr, about. If you are within 140 miles ai the spot yau rnay be the victirn ai some radiation which could be fatal if you fail ta take the necessary pre- cautions. This will give you same idea xvhy the authorities feel that nobody is likely to start a wide open war at thu present time. At the moment,i however, there is considerablei apprehension in Ottawa, overý the critical situation in the farý east.

No other board, or commis- sion, or department of govern- ment was ever given such gen- erous treatment or such immun- ity fromn control. But there are others who want it. Before the Commission has had time to plan how it should spend its luscious revenues. its own employees are demanding a iarger share of them for them- selves. Other people are also casting, envious eyes on the govern- ment's revenue as an exhaustless source from which. to supply ail their demands. Organized labor is demaxiding a guaranteed annual wage ta be paid by the goverment when the earnings of industry are insuf- ficient for the purpose. Only the other day reports from Ottawa said that some members of parliament had already suggest- ed that the excise taxes on auto- mobiles be turned over ta the auto manufacturers ta enable. them ta meet the wage demands: of their employees. The report:ý did not say that the government; had dèfinitely turned the sug-! gestion down. There is also a suggestioni from the dairy industry that a tax be imposed on the produc- tion of margarine, and the money be used ta help support the price of butter. Suggestions have also been made that railway wage dis- putes mîght be easily settled byj grants from the government revenues whenever the railway earnings are not sufficient ta' satisfy the workers' demands, and that grants from the saine Bethany St. Paul's Ladies Guild Meet At Mrs. M Bigelow'sý Bethany: Mrs. Morgan Bige- low entertained members of St. Paul's Ladies Guild for their March meeting with 15 meni- bers present and Mrs. Charles Reynolds presiding. Mrs. T. S. Gault led the devotianal. ser- vices. Plans were completed ta ca- ter for a weddîng reception ont April 9th with Mrs. William Mark and Mrs. M. Bigelow as conveners. Mrs. John Palmer offered her home for a euchre party on March 21, donating proceeds ta the Guild., Plans were completed ta hold a tur- key supper on May 6. Pragram would be a play "Meddelsome Maid" given by members ai Peterborough George St. Unit- ed Church. Assisting the hostess ta serve lunch were Mrs. Rupert Wood, Miss Fia Smith and Mrs. John Palmer, The ladies were pieased ta accept the invitation of Mrs. Rupert Wood ta meet at her home in April. M source might be used to pay the freight on farm products when farmers find such charges too burdensome. Demands have also been made that the government psy the excess wages required ta keep Canadian ships on the ocean in order that Canadian sailors might be the best paid in the wvorld. There is aiso the demand that the government have a nation- wide program of public works ready ta be commenced at a moment's notice wherever and whenever unemployment shows its head. In addition toalal these, there is the insistent demand that the TauntIon Dominion Government supple- ment the revenues of ail the provinces, ail the municipalities, ail the educational institutions, ail the hospitais, and ail the charitable institutions whose ex- penditures are greater than their revenues. So many demands are being made on the government trea - ury, by so many people, for many causes, that it is doub~ wvhether there are any of us wb can honestly dlaim to being guiltless in the matter. But unless something is done to check this trend toward total dependence o n government, Canada wili soon become as completely totalitarian as any state behind the iron curtain. The errors and i msfortunes of others should be a school for our own instruction.-Tho- mas Jefferson.
