The big celebration at the Post Offic( corner on Saturday eve.ning gave tii Erookdale Roses Intermediate "B" basebal team some idea of the pride this communý ity feit in their great accornplishment cl wînnrng the Ontario titie and the Dominion Life Assurance Trophy. This was not the first tirne several of the team members have been on an Ontario charnpionship tearn. They won the Inter- mediate "A" titie in 1951 after knockincr at the door for many seasons. But, the The Heart Speak The Women's Auxiliary of the M\emorial Hospital mnust be very proud of their organîzation throughout thiis district xvhîch collected alrnost ,,4,000 la dhcir recent canvass. Many of thes e volunteer graups. at timfes, becorne discouraged at the lacîn of public entbusiasm for their work and the reluctant assistance they receive. This will certain]y not affect the Auxiliary again for sorne time ta corne. After the generous response their appeal received fi-rn the citizenry of the district, their hearts and hopes will be buoyant withi the realization that their efforts have nat gone unnoticed. When thcy nceded hclp ta Cordial Welcoî Each year with the Fal pening of oui, public and high schoois xve take the liberty of speaking on behalf of the citizens of Bowmanville in extending a cordial and sincere welcome ta the new teachers who corne ta aur town, as well as a welcome-back ta the otherteachers who are resuming their duties here. Teaching is one af the most important professions in the list af professions today. But we sometimes forget the part they play in the development of aur children as the good citizens af the future, and ne glect ta show aur appreciatian for the service they rencler. By parents making the personal acquaintance- with their children's teachers it is -ta the mutual ze nice thing about this particular win wvas 12 because there were no "imports".

Teahr need mare confidence ûxpressed in them as professional people if they are ta give their best in their intensely devoted service ta human velfare. We have came upon a tirne in which 've realize, as neyer before, the necessity for the education of aur young pople.

In bis book "Short Circuits", Stephien Leacock, the Canadian author best kcnawn thiroughout the world, givcs advice toaa correspondent, whom lie describos as "A Parlaur Bolshevik Just Out o! College. Here is Stephen Leacock's conclusion,- "In short, rny dear Clarence, when I look ail around you, I find it vcry bard ta give you any advice that can lift you out ai your present perplexities. It seems that ail the people who bave succéeded lu front of you had same sort of advantage. Thomas Edison came along just when people begami ta need electric light; Henry It took a lonîg time ta get men ta broaden out in regards ta type of dress aud colar of clathes. But, when they did depart from the black and white style, they went whole hog, especially in sport shirts, Bermuda shorts and bead gear, says the Kitchener-Waterloo Record, and we mare than agree. Rceuntly,, the pink shirt wvas heraldcd 'IunicipaI officiais have very definite responsibilities which are clearly defined in the respective municipal acts and other statutes of the province, but there is littie or nothing in any of those statutes which- mentions or suminarizes the responsibil- ities of the individual. It seems to us'that even though it may not be specifically set forth in the statutes, one should recognize the fact that each and every resident of every community has a very definite and personal responsibility ta the municipality, apart altogether from the personal interest and help that one may rc asonably expeot of every good neighbor. Ini many communities it is a matter of grave concern (and w'e beliove there is room for it here) that more people do not assume their full share of municipal responsibility. B eing a good citizen means something more than attending to ones own business, paying taxes promptly, and taking out one's car and dog licenses reg- ularly each year. Anvone interested in general communitv welfare can find many ways for showing tangible evidence oCf good citizenship.

"Do ypu know, I tbink that perhaps, Clarenîce, the best thing for you ta do is ta try the old-fashianed plan af getting a job on a farm at $20.00 a month with your board, or starting as a schoal teacher at $40.00 a month. Has it ever occurred ta you that that may be about your size? Your own city xvas advertising yesterday for txventy 'good men ou sewers'. Perhaps you would be a peach in a sewer. Go and try it.

Out af the establishment af a dloser confidence between counicils and rate- payers there should mature a fuller under- standing which wvill broaden the autlook ai people and encourage their uuselfish contribution to the comman good. 2vlany people faîl short lu that they do uiot takze sufficient interest in local gavera- ing institutions ta tharoughly uuderstand and appreciate %vhat is being doue by such bodies in the best iuterests ai the people as a whole. This is arnply praven by the small number of people Who attend the monthly town couricil meetings. * It must bc understood there is no inspiration, encouragement or incentive ta the best people of any community ta seek public office if the taxpayers are s0 dis- înterested that they do usot even bother ta attend the meetings at wlsich their own business afiairs are discussed. It will not be long- before we will be faced xvîth another municipal election. We are aIl very fond af talking about the benefits we tlîiuk we are entitled ta or are deserving af. Does it ever accur ta us, or do we ever mention or stress the fact that persanal benefits eau ouly materialize if and wheu eachi and every citizen is pre- pared ta assume his aor her full share af publie responsibility. Ail cannot assume the same duties or dischargc indiv-idual obligations in the same manner. Non is it possible for ail of us ta render the samne sort o«'public ser- vice, but each, and every ane of us cari and should be withing ta give that service3 for 'vhich we are best fitted. No mattert hxow small or insignificant aur own per-t sonal effort rnay seem ta us. it is neyer, theless an essential factor in ail democratic ,o%-ernmcnt.
