PAGN FMUR LIbI', ~bW>1 - '~ ~ mriii * W DLjLrV IL.1, NTAW HO H Devonshire Cream Hus Almost Become a The Start of The announcement that Johnson & Johnson bas chosen Bowmanville for its first Ontario factory may well mark the begining of a new and wonderfuI era for our communîty. The Canadian Statesman, on behaif of the citizens,*offers a sincere welcome to J & J and a hearty "thank you" for its vote of confidence in our town. Bowmanvile has had a long and happy Industrial history, thanks to the vision and sound management of the Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co. of Canada Ltd., the Bow- mnan.ville Foundry Company, the R. M. I{ollingshead Co. of Canada Ltd., and the other smaller but valued companies that have Joined us in more recent years. I'Like attracts like" iq an oid but true saying, and the coming of another company of such undisputed stature and leadership en- hances our town's opportunities for further industriai deveiaprnent. Ours is a happy and pleasant town, weil administered, with ideai transporta- tion facilities and the services that industry demnands. Mr. John Macdonald, President of J & J, testifies ta this in bis tribute to Bowmanville which is printed elsewhere in this issue. But, possession of these qualities does flot ensure successfui industrial develop-9 It bas always been the policy cf this newspaper ta give credit where credit is due, and in the p ast weeks we have naticed the Cards cf Thanks fram different indi- viduals cf thig district expressing their gratitude ta the Canadian Legion, Baw- nianville Branch No. 178, for blod dona- tions received from the Legion Blaad Bank. The nearest Blaod Bank ta Memorial Hlospital, Bowmanvil]e, is in Oshawa. It is necessary for local people ta ga there and obtain the necessary blood on a basis whereby it will be repaid by blood donors from this district on bebaîf of the persan invalved or the Haspital. Last February Memoriai Hospital management were notified by the Oshawa Hospital that they were in arrears ta the tune cf 36 pints cf blood and that it was responsible ta the Oshawa Blood Bank to have it replaced as soon as possible. The Superintendent cf Memariai Hospital appealed' te the local Canadian Legion Brancb, and as aiways they came forward with a helping hand, guaranteeing the Hospital Board that this debt wauld be paid.

'Su" this year there will be a dif- Ocrence. There will be far more urgency to these seven days than usuai, because more widespnead knowledge exists than the unfolding times and that progress, ever before that education is a race with expansion and national greatness bave a common foundationi - the effectiveness cf our schoois.

W. JAMES, EDITaN a New Era ment. Ours is merely one cf hundreds of competing communîties, and it is necessary ta "seil" our town - ta forcefully draw its qualities ta the attention of prospective industries. It A~ therefore appropriate ta pay tribute ta those who "sold" Bowman- ville ta Johnson & Johnson Limited. First ta 15e mentioned is aur Chamber of Commerce, scarcely three years aid, and its former Presidents, Arthur D. Hooper and Elmer T. Banting. Under their leader- ship the Chamber soon established itself as a powerful agency for the betterment cf aur community and launched a iong-term development program. Also ta be commended are Mayor Osborne and the Town Councils cf the past several years for their strang support of the Chamber. Finally, we congratulate the Cham- ber's Secretary-Manager, Ken Morris, who brought the negotiations ta their success- fui conclusion despite a hast cf discourag- ing obstacles. This, we believe, is not the end cf aur story, but merely a successfui beginning. Given the continued support cf its citizens and its established industries, and aided by aur newest carporate citizen, Johnson & Johnson, Bowmanville's future success and prosperity would seem ta be assured. system was set up whereby six or more Legion members would go 'ta Oshawa Blood Clinic every Monday evening, with one or more members donating their cars for the trip. In the following months this debt cf 36 pints owed by Memoriai Hos- pital was paid off. This system bas carried on belping Legion members and their families, and anyone in this district who is in need of blood and cannot pay or make arrangements for blood donors. During the past twelve montbs the Canadian Legion Blood Bank bas been in aperation, they bave paid off the Memoriai Hospital debt cf 36 pints, and an additional 49 pints have been donated ta individuals. Mucb credit must be given Chairman Jack Bishop who not only heads up this project with ail the drive that is necessary, but bas donatçd 16 pints cf blood himself dur- ing this period. Four other members have donated three times ta top the iist. This is just one cf the many humani- tarian projects that aur local brancb cf the Canadian Legion is doing without praise or fanfare, which we believe at times should be brought ta the attention of the public. Hats off ta the boys cf the Canadian Legion!! ites resulting from an incompleted educa- tion; the scarcity cf qualified teachens, especially at the secondary level; the abviaus nieed for the expansion cf univers- ity plant and equîpment, and the lack cf money ta attract good men and women ta the profession cf teacbing and keep them in it, as companed with its availability for those who scorn it fnrom the beginning as a iow-pay caneer on desert it after a few years along the way. Add to these the challenge over the horizon from Russia and Red China, wbene dictatarship bas decreed top priarity for belt-line production cf new brains ta steer thair vast industnial potential, and you can realize that the cnisis is net just sa much smail talk. This cnisis, like others that bave emerged with mankind's gnewth,. can ha resolved, but provision cf a solution is flot samething that can be shucked off into the iap cf a handfui cf legislators, teachers and industrîalists. It must be faced by ail Canadians and it must be f acad on a continuing basis. Education is everybody's business, not oniy from March 3 ta Marcb 9, but for the indefinite f uture. "Numerous authentic surveys through- out the country indicates that an average cf 3.5 pensons read eveny copy of every weekly newspaper that enters eveny home as an invited guest. The average iength cf tima each copy is kept anound the bouse is two weeks. Each copy is picked up and ieoked aven by each readen an average cf three times.

Prob'bly there's toc much common sense in it ta wok."- Farmers Alman& Many cf the early pioneer Who settred in the- southeri townships of Durham Count. came from Devonshire in Eng land. It was natural, therefore that among the customs thesE sturdy rural folks brought wit.1 them was the making of De. 'vonshire Cream, called by somf clotted cream. For years tht dessert delicacy was obtain- able in local grocery stores anc butcher shops and was sold by the pound in containers, at thE prevailing price of butter.. Since World War II wher raw cream was strictly regu- lated as to its use, Devonshire cream was on the prohîbitec list. This meant that many farmers' wives discontinued making this popular dairy pro- duct. It is now just occasionally that this cream is found for sale in local stores. The editor of The Statesman, coming from Devonshire par- ents, became an "Addict" of this thick rich cream from his youth. He recalis lathcring it on such food as pies, puddings, raspberry jams, home marie bread with a sprinkling of brown sugar, etc. (His mouth waters as his memory goés back to this delightfcil treat, servcd on Sundays during the winter months). He recahls, too, several years ago when a memnber of the To- lxonto Advertising and Sales Club it was bis turn to supply the "Booster Prize" at a speciel rural pragramn in the Royal York Hotel. He took up 15 one pound cartons cf -Devonshire Creamn, made by Archie Thomp- son of Manvers Road, who was famnous for making this cream. With over 300 present at this function, a showing oi hands revealed that very few had in- dulged in this potent dairy pro- duct, or knew anything about it. However, the lucky winners ai these unique prizes after they and their families had sampled the cream literally hounded the %ditor for weeks afterwards to see if he could get them some more of that "stuf And On Paper His Accent Was Excellent tain, whîch Included bis mar- D niage to an English girl, John- i ston was just plain homesick.

CCF AGAIN OPPOSING PARLIAMENTARy DIVORCE PROCEDURE For the first time this session, the CCF Lad an opportunity of registering their opposition to the method whereby Parliament handies divorce cases from Quebec and Newfoundland. There are weIl over 300 cases ta be deait with this year, but if their opposition continues, very few of these will be granted. In the past except on rare occasions, the majority of them pass without any objection especially in the House of Commons. This tinne, it may be necessary to have a standing vote on each one that is approved, a time-consum- ing procedure. As the time allotted for dealing with private bis of this kind is very Iimited, only two or three divorce cases wiIl be passed during any week unless the CCF group changes its tactics. Their purpose is, of course, to have divorce remov- ed from parliamentary scrutiny and placed under aUNCentAL corAtofsomACTnd UNICRRIPA ERNTWC UNDRheVmstinEW etn ato h eilto hsw Thlue msiterstingarthMcitbelegsatontis we wicuhe cnsderatiovnc te Mn iipa Grants cipt, ner whicbth e dotea gvenmen atwionl pay muicipa if gts r oeul th eraent cftaxatiothe would pualyi itharprprt wr not owneassipe ds ,bye Cnow eranAtuaeslyf instin quite as sme m that, bcasertantps acf tinsllatns sucharsoe litary campse, iparks man athin cdsfota tp re excudad.Howeverblituilnsean. hadvitinal frunc fortow niwheal public Thebuid n ec. bavites ney e produced ayeamunical us.

As a resuit, there have been such items as increases in capitalization of the Canadian Farm Loan Board so that additional funds wiII be available; extension of the Prairie Farm Assistance Act to increase awards and levy. The Prime Min. ister in announcing furthcz. legisiation to be con- sidered gave littie indication that there would be much opportunity for heated debate on the items still ta be discussed.

Next - without jolting the pan, place it in slow oven and slowly scald the mîlk until it reaches a temperature of 176 degrees.
