iPAGE TWO EDITOJALS Why Industries -Are. Needeci Here flecently, a group of experts from various agencies were brought bei-e by' the Chamber of Commerce ta tell us how to obtain new industry. We reparted that Meeting last week in full because their advioe contained many points of interest - to every citizen. We think their experience la Worth reviewing in case some of aur readers missed the details. First, we must canvince sanie of aur citizens that more industry is flot only desirable, but essential. At the moment, about 14%o of the town's taxes are collected from i.ndustry. The experts tell us thàa praper proportiai shsould be between 40 and 50%. In effect, we are naw paying taxes from residential properties for Schoola and roads and other facilities wbich sbould be coming from industries if we bad theni bere. Our increased popu- lation bas flot been due ta the growth of local Jndustry; rather we are providing sleeping accommodation for Oshawa's overflow. Actually, we have a surplus of labor bere wbich could be canverted to local industry if it were needed, without b-iilding additional' schools, etc. And the tnxes received from industry would rçduce the amount needed from bousebolders. It's as 'simple as that and tbat's wby thei Cliarilber of Cnm-ýrce is working bard ta bring industry bere.1 Wbat do we need ta attl'act industry? We need land ot reasonable prices and there is plenty of it avoulable bere. Tbey need water, power and transportation fadiities. We have these things in abun- dance. Wbat else is needed? We need hard wark in making contacts, showing pros- peits wbat we bave, fallowing tbrougb on every lead that cames aur way. The Chamber of Commerce is doing its utmost here - witb the full co..operation of the Town Council. But, tbere is more tban that and every citizen can belp. We need people wba are town boosters; citizens who are enthus- iastic about Bowmanvile and eèverytbing ini it., This is a wonderful town witb a great future, but we need more people wbo want ta praise it and fewer wba mourn and grouse at its weaknesses and discount its arganizations and officiais. Wbat would you tell an outsider - wbo might want ta locote an industry bere - if be asked you wbat you tbougbt of Bowmanville? Be a booster and a worker for your town. Anybody can knock! Sa, let's make up aur minds today ta do everything we con ta build Bowman- ville inta a more thriving, prosperous municipality by keeping aur present industries happy and daing everytbing we can ta encourage new ones ta locate bei-e. Tn another colunin in this issue will be found an article announcing the appoint- ment of Ronald W. Todgbam of Chatbam ta the position of Executive Assistant to the President of thse Chrysler Corporation' of Canada, Limited. It gives a brief out- line of bis remai-kable business career as he clirnbed the ladder of success. Many Statesman readers will be interested in the achievements of this young man as his parents, Mrs. H. H. Tadgbam (nee Ida Richards) and the late Mi-. Todgbam, were natives of Bowmanville. Tbe editor can recali wben as a lad RLonald visited 'bis grandparents bei-e be was seriaus minded, industriaus and a hard worker in bis play and at work. Wben he was a mere lad living in Windsor he made bis first cofitact witb tbe Chrysler Corpor-ation. Taking orders for Christ- mas cards he happened ta coul one even- ing on Mi-. John D. Mansfield wba at that time was President of Chrysler. Mr. Mansfield was impressed by the salesman- ship of tbis small boy and gave bum a good order foi- bis own personal cards.

There ai-e several spots *wbiéh migbt be called higbly dangerous fi-rn a pedestrian point of view ottie moment. Tbrougbaut tise winter, Queen Street is probably one of the most isazardous, especially along thse front of tise Ai-ena. Due ta tise constant activity in tbat building, we feel very strangly that speed in tisat orea sbould be Îeduced ta 15 miles an bour with large signs proclaiming that fact. Fortunately, there bave been no major accidents at tbis -We bad on unusual experience tis week.

Faces bave been long and tise moans and groons must bave been heard for a considerable distance. One mercisant decided ta try on experiment. Apparently, ise was a bit sick of cutting down on expenses and took a more optimistic look, altisougis very ukeptical of tise results ise migist obtain. He inserted a four sized advertisement in The Statesman, featuring some real bai-- gains. As usual his message went ta oui- thousands of readers thi-ougisout tise area We have been following the pro and con opinions on the subject of making it an open season ta shoot mourning doves.

In tisis connection, we nat only appeol ta tbe police. We also urge every citizen, bath pedestrian and driver, ta take al necessary precoutions witbin tise town limits.

Last week tbey entertained repres- entatives irom several agen- cies and companies intercsted in industrial deveiapment in Ontario, and I was quite inter- ested in tise remarks ai tise vis. itors. Tisey scemed ta feel that we could do quite o lot ta im- prove tise business section and perisaps it would nat hurt if we taok a second look at it and realised tisat it gives tise iirst impression ai tise town o visit- or. It would be vcry nice if we could just begin al aven again and lay tise town out in a modern style witis lovely broad streets, lots of raam ionr parking, attractive plantings and raamy stores in whicb ta sisop. However, tisat is flot too practical and we bave! ta make do witb tise buildings already there, but a great deal cauld still be donc to improve niatters.

Forreat A Toronto lady wrote us tht ather day ta say she bod chang. ed ber mind about Biily Gra- ham. Sise said that whcn hE was first planning ta corne foi bis Canadian Crusade ber min- is ter asked ber ta organize a prayer group on ber Street, but she fcît cnitîcal of tise evonge- 1list and deciined. Someone else rorganized tise group and sisa was persuoded ta attend. Now she says that tise weeks of meeting witis women wiso iad been perfect strangers before, ta pray have been tise richest experience of ber lufe. Another lady, wife of a suc-; cessful lawyer relates a some- what similar experience. We have known ber for many years and neyer thaught ber one wa become enthusiasti, about re- ligion. But sise is. A young minister tram a little place up nantis came into aur office ta tell us that ise was canvinced that tise power behind Billy Grahsam is tise vast numbers af people who are united in prayers for tise success af bis work. He is con- vinced that tise cisurcsas -il neyer have a geat revivl un- til tiseir peaple start meeting in groups for prayer. lie does cansiderable speaking wber- ever ise gaes and says ise usual- ly tries to organize a littie prayer ccll before be leaves. He says it isn't bard. Folks are glad ta meet in anc anotiser's homes for prayer if they are given a little leadership. Another friend, a minister, was telling me tisat ise was try- ing ta explaîn ta isis lîttie boy about Billy Graham. "An evan- gelist," be said, "is a preaciser wha always*preaches in sucis o way as ta get people ta make decisions." "What kind of de- cisions?" tise littie fellow ask- ed. "He tries ta get tbem ta de- cide to love Jesus and serve Him," tise minister cxplained. "Well I decidcd that for my- self a long time ago," tise littie fellow cancluded. Even tise little chldren in tise homes bave been awaken- ed by ail tise discussion about religion. We can't beip but bave some inhibitions about tise chul- dren's meetings and numbers ai eleven and ten-year-old "'con- verts," but we could be wrong. As, Dr. Grahsam says, ail con- verts are babies in Christ and need a lot af care in tise chur- zises. Biliy Grahsam soya that the Toronto people were among tise rnost generous contributors ta the offering plate he bad found. Collections were almost double the average 20 cents per per- son given in otiser crusades. Convents or scekers as be pre- fers ta caîl tisem, were older, and o greot number ai tbern were conncctcd witis churcises. One af tise most common bîings we have beard about him since tise crusade cnded is ram ministers wiso say they wrisis they bad knawn more about hlm before be came, for bey wouid have tried ta get bheir cangregations ta partici- pate more iully. one minister teils us that tise cisurches whicis received tbe most blcssing werc thse wisoisad many ai their and thse general picture Is that it bas slowed down the over- ail speeds by about ten miles per hour. If the trend continues it sbould bave good resuits and everyone will know exactly where they stand.
