PAGE FOlIE THE CANADIAN STATESMAIi. EOWMANV!LLE. OHTA~!O THTTRS5AY, AIi. lUth, liN PROM SCOTLAND TO THE FAR PLACES The birthday ai the great Scottish pact, Robent Burnns, which Will be celebratcd this week anound the world, ne- minds us l oi the debt that Canada and ather countnies ai the Commonwealth owc ta Scotland. The Scottisb people were among the best colonizers ai the Empire, taking théir tra- ditions ai honesty, bard work, thrift nnd respect for education ta the far places ai the 'world. To this day, the blood ai their descendants tbnills ta the pipes, or the sweet sad love sangs ai Scotland, so many ai themn froin the pen ai Burns. It wns nat only the spirit af advcntune, ai course, which Qaused Scots ta sail overseas and build new lives, at the anme time belping ta build an-d strengthen Brtain's posses- sions. The factons were large- ly ecanomîc, some agicultural workers beîng forced out by a change in the land-holding sys- tem after the union ai Scottish and English parliaments in 1707. The changes wbich came with the ending ai n feuda] sV-.'c m, however, were aimas t algood, and agriculture wcnt ahead in Scotlnnd by leaps and boLinds until at the end ai that century. Scotland was teacn- ing England new and betten rn-ethods. Famines still occurred ns late as 1782-83 and this caused the great emigmations ai 1786- 1788. Anather factor was the opening up ai the Highlands by the building ai ronds so that they were no longer a world unta themsclves, but heard of countries beyond the sens where tbcy might bave land af their own instend ai living and dying as tenants. Thr> Highland tribal system was broken up aiter the Rebellion af 1745, and the Highlander haci becomne intenested in tilling the soil rathen than making war. The schools which followed ini the wake oi the new cra, rnainly mission schools, taught Englîshi, and the Highlander ' must know English, or at lcast it was gnently ta bis ndvantage ta do sa, if be wns ta emigmate. These missionany-scboolmasters played a large part in promot- ing emignation. Tbrough these and ether farces at work in the first bahf ai the 19th century as well as the lnst bal! ai the 1Sth, great numbers of Scottish (and En- lish) people emigrnted ta Can- ada, Austmalia, New Zealand, India and parts of Ainica. If you visit a quiet burying- greund by a village church ta- day in mnny parts ai Ontario you will find beneath the names on the grave stones, "Born in Argyleshine" or Ayre- sbire, or se on. From this [stock came fine fammens, bank- ers, manufacturers, engineens, ministens, teachers, and many others who made a wonderiul contribution ta a Canada gnaw- ing in wenltb, importance and maturity. On Robbie Burns' day we sa- lute thcm aIl, nom will they ever be forgotten "Till a' the sens gang dry".

There are picture loan or- ganizations in some cities, whether in Toronto oan fot we are flot sure. This seems ta us a wonderful thing. Good paint- ings cost quite an amount af money and the average person must save up ta buy one. But if ane could "borrow" a pic- turc for a modest fee, as one borrows a book from the libra- ry, for a month, and then ne- tunn it and have another-how wonderful! Somne time ago it occurred ta us that some sort of a picture loan scheme on a modest scale would be a wonderful thing In hospitals where some patients lie for weeks or months with only bare walls ta look at. We think the psychological bene- fits would be worth investigat- ing. There is a book boan ar- rangement in Toranto hospitals. Wh.y not picture boan? If some large charitable organization were ta take up the idea, it should be quite possible. VITAL QUESTIONS Book loan reminds us that the annual meeting af the Bow- manville Public Library is next Tucsday, Jan. 24, at 7 p.m. in the librnry. The need for nde- quate quarters befitting a town this size bas been known for years. We understnnd that the subi ect is coming up for dis- cussion at this meeting, also the ndvantages of becoming a free library-that is, supported by taxation as in mast ather Ontario towns. We do nat know how fully these- questions are ta be discussed, but that thcy are being raised is hopeful. Every librnry member is enti- tled ta attend. We hope you are concemned about these vital questions.

(ad libs for free). The Inaugurai Meeting of the Manvers 1956 Council toolc placé on Mondny, January 9 at 1l a.m. wlth ail seats filled - Earle Argue, reeve; Louis Mc- G-il, deputy reeve; councillons Henry Jakeman, Bob Brown and Harvey Malcolm;1 clcrk Ross Davidson. Rev. Bonsteel off iciated at their induction inta office. With a few well ehosen words Bey. Bansteel cammitted the candidates ta their office an-d ofiered a prayer an behaîf ai them and their future de- liberations. It was unfortunate from aur viewpaint that the only witnesses ta this auspi- ciaus ccrcmony were the four vcry cold bare walls. Mn. Bon- steel was thanked for the im- pressive manner in which lie delivered bis address and for being present ta do so. The Council then shiftcd in- ta harness ta confront the very full agenda awaiting their plea- sure. An invitation by the Baw- manville Rotary ta a munici- pal night dinner on Fridny, Jair uary 13 was gratefully ac- knowledged and plans were made ta attend. Appointments By motion ai councillors Mc- Gi and Jakeman, Mr. A. H. Monks services as truant off i- cen wcre retnined at the same salary. Likewise the sole appli- cant as Weed Inspector, David Masters, wns rctained at 1955 salary by motion af Malcolm and Brown. Hoard Malcolnm af Yelver- ton was accepted on recom- mendation as livestock valua- ton on the resignation ai How- ard MeMullen ai Lotus. By-law 1320 re: giving au- thonity ta borrow necessary manies was given its three readings. Likewisc By-law 1321, giving authority ta reevcý, deputy-recve and treasuren ta sign cheques on behaîf ai couni- cil; and By-law 1322 installing fence viewers, wecd inspectons, pound keepers, livestock valua- tons, attendance aificers, etc. Correspondence The bonor ai receiving the ifirst cheque ai 1956 council felu ta an ex-councillor, Ralph Mal- colm, for two sheep killed, $40. Correspondence was rcad which included: Street llghting ai Janetville for ane year; com- plaints ne change of a street light in Bcthnny: complaints re wood cutting on a right-of- way; sending subscniptions ta Municipal World ta cauncil members; payment ai twa fox bounties. County Assessor waited an council re difficulties encoun- tèéred in Manvers on newly adopted Equalized Assessment. It was agreed thîs wns not; sa- tlsfnctory in township as yet, but wns decided ta be toa cost- ly and impracticai ta reasseas at this late date. Hire Assessor The council then prepared ta deal with the contentiaus prob- lem ai picking an assessor, which task wns handed down ta us with typical political as- tuteness by aur '55 cauncil pre- decessors. In accordance with the Municipal Act, the salary af the assessor-ta-be wns set before apening any applica- tions. This was, arrived at by takîng the suggested salary giv- en by five council members present, nveraged together. An attempt was made ta make the salary lucrative enough ta attract the bighest calibre ai applicants available, since it was deemed wise that the persan whose task it was ta, handle an assessment now aven two million dollars should not be bampened in affering bis best services by expecting him ta do a major avenhaul in taon short a time because ai sal- nry limitations-a comparative small initial autlay in propor- tion ta the task. Applications o! eight appli- cants were read, dîscusscd and considered. By a series ai eimination votes the field was narrowed down ta two and'by a final vote ta anc-Mn. Wal- ter Rolland ai Betbany. %rbose sticking out necks in nbving that Mr. Rolland be accepted were new councillors Jakeman and Malcolm, whîch motion was unanimously agreed ta. Press Reports Previously, discussion on in- cluding the moyens nnd second- crs ai motions in press reports in such conditions, was ained. It was unanimously decided ta provide thîs information as the rights of the ratepayer, but that aîl voting «"yea" ta such motions should be accorded the ame consideration - this ta prevent the development ai stalemates in council when each refuses ta make or second a motion because ai unfavor- able publicity- involved. It was movcd that outstand- ing accounts be paid, by Coun- cillons McGill and Brown, which includcd: anc montVs back salary ta Cl-ris Cummis- key-$50; relief voucher, An- dy Watson-$59.13; repaira ta hall and council chamber, ta Riley and Challice-$50.68 and $12.00 rcspcctively; sheep dlaim -R. Mnlcolm-$40; and a mis- cll'any ai smnll items. Walter Rolland was Inter- viewed and agreed ta accept the position ai Assessor and Building Inspector at, an an- rîunl salary ai $850. Road vou- chers were signed. A local lady invaded coun- cil chambers ta scck assistance in bnving better transportation, 9rovded for children gaing i igvh School. It was felt that decrepit buses providcd wene not up ta a standard. Council unnnimously agreed ta take steps ta provide more adequate facilities in this regard. By motion of Councillons Brown and Malcolm, meeting adjourned. FORM FORUM REPORT Farm Forum was held at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Cari Down with an attendance of 15. The topic for discussion was ,,Who Benefits From Price Supports?" 1. Haw Is everyone (a) as consumer, (b) as taxpayer, (c) as wage earner, effected DY agricultural price supports? (a) As consumer. Their pur- chases wil have a steadier price over the year. (b) As tax- payer. The effect is negligible. Statistics show the taxpayer paying only 62c per year extra in a year when the emergency af foot and mouth disease cail- ed for emergency support, and paying only 9c a year extra or- dinarily. (c). Wage earners have an interest in the farmer's ability ta buy the goods they produ ce. 2. In what ways does the farmer benefit froni agricul- tural price supports? The price support program acta as-a steadying influence on the market. The supports are set law enough ta prevent pri- Ces dropping toa seriously and not high enough ta encourage increased production. Next week's meeting will be held at the home af Mr. and Mns. H. Tink. Coun ties T.B. Patients Sent Special Gift Sanitarium patients fromn this district were cheered by a Christmas card which also enclosed a cnisp Five Dollar Bill, a gift made possible through the sale of the Chris't- mas seals in Northumberland and Durham. Although the sale of seals had its beginning be- fore the holidays the donations are expected ta continue until March. The amount collected enables the Northumberland and Dur- ham Tuberculosis Association ta budget for another year's work in the education and re- habilitation programme in the United Counties. It bas been pointed out that the people in the district, by their contributions to the Christmas seal drive, are di- rectly helping in the preven- tive work. The funds flot only aid the stricken but thcy pro- vide the means ta maintain a watchful eye on the district through x-ray surveys, person- al investigation and educatîon. The Christmas seal sale fa- cusses attention on the fact that despite ail the wonders of mo- dern science there is one com- municable disease that keeps about 20,000 Canadians home from work the whole time and 18,000 sick in sanatoria.

Hcamn.. Plans ta this eifect wlll be made immcdiately, he stated, because of rapidly rising de- mands for power which in 1955 shawed a 14 percent increase, more than double the average annual bong-term rate ai growth. Commission plans caîl for the installation ai two addîtional 75,000 kilowatt units at the ncw Sir Adam Beck-Niagara generating station No. 2 and and one 200,000 kilowatt unit at the Richard L. Henrn steain station on the Toronto water- front. Work will be stnrted im- medintcly and it is anticipated that the Niagara units can be in use by 1957, and the Toron- ta uhit in 1958. Bath will be incorporated inta the Southern Ontario system. D'ý. Hearn nttributed this In- crease in load growth, necessit- ating the additional units, ta the continued upswing in On- tario's cconomic and industrial lufe. While it is cxpected that first power from the St. Law- rence Scnwny will be available in 1958, installation ai the add- cd units is considered essential ta pravide a sufficient reserve ngainst increasing demands and possible low water in generat- îng streams. Provision bas been made for further expansion of the facili- tics at both stations when the nced arises.
