PAGE EIGHT TEE CAIMDIAN STATESMAN.- DOWMANVXLLEI ONTARIO ?HTIRSDAY. DEC. SUS, 1955 Kis smen Wives -Attend Typical Club Meeting Hear Talk by Chemist The, wives cf the Bowman- ville Kinsmen Club members were given an opportunity te attend a typical club meeting on~ Tuesday evening cf last week when they were the guests of their husbands at the Lions Community Centre. An excellent dinner, an en- 'Ôable evening of danoi.pg following the meeting, and an interesting address by David Morrison, Chief Chemnist cf the Goodyear plant here, were the highlights cf the nlght. President Lionel Parker wezl- comned the ladies and gucsts and stated that the meeting was designed te give the mcm- bers' wives an opportunity :o sec what gees on at a typic3l Kinsmen meeting. He pointe i out that the fellowship cnjov- el at the meetings- actually forma the basis of the cern- znunity bette-ment prejects carried on by the club. He introduccd the head ta- ble gucsts: Kinsmen District 3 Bulletin Editor Deug Lowc, Oshawa, and Mrs. Lowe; Bow- manville Vice Presidcnt Don MeGregor; District Secretary AI Polard, Oshawa, and Mrs. Pollard, and Bowmanville 2nd vice - President John Graham and Mrs. Graham. Morrison Gusst Speaker Kin McGregor introduced Mr. Morrison, who is a native of Bowmanville and a gradu- ate of the University of Toron- to. He pointed out that Mr. Morrison is one of the veteran empîcyces of the Goodyear flrmn here, having worked for the Durham Rubber Company. whlch was later purchased by Goodyear, and joining the pres- ent firm in 1914. He is Chief Chemnist at the plant and hasi aiso been active in many cern- mnunity organizations. Mr. Morrison stated that during the past 40 years, as a chémist by profession, he has been very Ntcrcsted in science. Tracing the growth of educa- tien back te 350 B.C. he stated that Aistotie was thç first great teacher and attracted a number cf students te Greece by bis brilliance. One cf these was Alexander, son cf the King of Macedonia, who later be- came known te hlstory as Alex- ander the Great. Alexander neyer forgoe bis old teacher during his risc te igreatness and made a grant te him cf the equivalent cf ever $1,000,- 000 for scientific purposes. This was the first grant ever miade for scientific studies, the speak- er said. In spite cf their brilliance, the Geeks were net scientists because thsy attempted te ra- tionalize and explain every- thing through mental processes rather than experimentatien. ln the 7th and 8th Centu.- ies, alchemy was practiced in Egypt and later spread te Eu- rope. The two chief aims of alchemy, Mr. Morrison said, were te transmute base metals inte gol arl.te find a means of curing disease, throug'à creating the philosephers stone. While the alchsmists neyer learned te niake lead into gold, they did centribute te the progrcss cf science be- cause tbcy were men with e- quiring minds who wanted te icare the reasons why certain thijigs took place. "Down through the years it bas al- ways been the men searching for the reason why- men with enqulring minds - that have bee'n responsible for progress", the speaker declared. Renalasance Periud The age cf the Renaissance in Europe was the next for- ward step in the march rof science. During this perietd, which began i the 1600's, a new spirit et inquiry and inter- est in learning developed and the foundations cf science, as we naw know it, werc laid. Be- twcen 1840 and 1850, many ciscoveries were made in chem- istry and science which are now being put te use, Mr. Morrl- son said. When World War 1 cut off supplies cf many raw mater- ials it gave a great impetus to scientists te produce these ma- teniais syethetically. It was during this period that work began on making synthetic rubber, and during World War II these processes were per- fected. In the period since 1918 the scientist has produced many weederful drugs and dyes from the tar pot, the speaker said, and petroleuma chemicals are beieg produced on an ever-increasing scaie. The products of the farrni are aIse being turned into chemi- cals in a big way. Mr. Morrison pointcd eut that chemists can now produce almost any substance by syn- thctic means. "Ie medicines we have the aetibiotics, wbich are actually modern miracles in the way they contrel dîSease. NeW sprays and fertilizers have been *developed for the farmer and the work with hormon.ý-s may bring amazieg results", Mr. Morrison dcclared. He poieted out that scieetists are now looking for some al- loy or metal whichi will with- stand temperatures cf 9,000 dc- grecs Fahrenheit and wvhen they find it, racket travel te the moon may become a real- ity. H-e was thaned for his in- tcresting address by Kin Joha Graham and eceivcd a pres- entation from Presideet Park- er. Donation To Salvation Army Duing the cvening a dma.v was beld for a soft drink cool- er donated by Kin% Bill Smith. Procecds of this draw were donatcd to the Salvation Army for their Christmas work, and the cooder was won by Kin Keith Lathangue. Chairman Irvine Brown cf the Kiesmen electmic train draw, epoted that tickets were moving well and the train would soon be on display ie the window ef the P.U.C. office. Kin Roy Swindells, who is in charge of the 1956 Kinsmen Car Dmaw epoted that tick- ets are being printed and that Mrs. Murray Larmer had typ- cd letters te be sent te other Kinsmen Clubs asking for per- The Canadian Statesman Drawer "B", Bowmanville, Ontario Gentlemen: Find enclosed $ for which please The Canadian Statesznan for years te: M - - - - - Street or R.R. ____________________ Post Office____________________ e-- - -- - - - - send From M __ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Street or R.R.______ Post Office - - - - - - - - - sh.wine a mrked fnoir for the future in styling, Pontiac will present 16 sparkling new inodels in the Laurentian, Pathfinder Deluxe and Pathfinder series for 1956 Horsepower will reach a new peak for Pontiac in thea»e series with the introduction of the all-new Strato-Flash V8 205 h.p. engine.

Presbyterian Minis fer Traces C hristianit y' s Origin at W.M.S. Meet The autume Thank-offering cf St. Andrew's Prcsbyteriaii Chumch W.M.S. combining sen- ior and Evening Auxiliaries was held at the home cf Mms. J. R. Stutt on Wcdnesday even- ing, Nov. l6th with a gecd at- tendance. Miss.- Galbraith, president cf the Senior Auxiliary, presided and cpened the meeting witn the Caîl te Wcrship which wam fellowed by a psalm -rcad by Miss Agnes Carruthers and prayer by Miss Galbraith. The delegates ta the W.M.S. Conference beld in Peterbor- ough, November lst, then gave their reports. The theme cf the Conference was "The Mission et the Church" and showed that the tbree divisions et mission- amy womk are intcr-related. The Conference was in charge et Miss Ruby Walker, Regional Secretary, Miss Ellen Anderson, retumned missienary from British Guiana, Miss Irnee Stninger fromn India, and Miss Ellen Douglas, formerly cf Ie- dia now Hospital Visiter in Vancouver. The afternobn session, Mrs. McLaughlin repcmting, began with a panel discussion on "The. Mission cf the Church" cenducted by four ladies tram Millbrook and led by Mrs. H. Tate. The church, they explain.. ed, is made up cf living stbnes; it is compcsed cf people drawn together as a family, living bu. man beings thmough whorn Christ werks. The church is a cemmunity to whom is entmust- ed the spread cf the Gospel to every creature. The next part L. Paterson, Miss Galbraith in- tmoduccd the speaker ef the cvening, Rev. A. G. Scott. Mr. Scott took as the tapic ef his addmess, "The Outmeacin cf the Church". He tmaced the origin ef Christianity whici-i began in Asia and bew we corne te bclong to Christianity. The motive behind aur desire ta take our religion te cthers 's found in the command "Go Ye jeto ail the world and preach the Gospel, beginning at Jemu- salcm." A little, band cf menî were canvinced and obeycd the command. If we believe-ie Cbistianity we must share it. The church must be a mission- amy cburch, first at .hame, sec- ond in Canada, and finaily overseas. The meeting closcd with prayer by Mm. Scott after which delicious rcfreshments were scrvcd and cveryone e- jcyd a social boum tegether.
