Taking the largest portions are e' public and High Schoo] oa1Xds with 31.5 per cent going the Bowmanville Public cho Board and 17.5 to the uem District High School oard or a tctal of $232,250.

Countios' Share Approximately haîf of the $72,000 gîven to the United Counties of Durham and North- umberland goes for the countyl roads and bridges, Morley Van- stone stated. Other items of ex- pense for the two counties are justice, Old Folks Home, Health Unit, Children's Aid Society and reforestation projects. Police Activities About 13 per cent of the tax dollar drectly controlled by Council goes towards the Police Department. A police force, ac- cordîng to Chief Eric Smith, has several diversified duties, Most of xvhich evolve arounid the preservation of lif e and property from harm or injury. In court cases he said evidence must be prepared by the police officer for the Crown Attorney' if it is a crimînal case. On the other hand if the case deals with by-laws the Police Chief pre- pares the case and also prose- cutes. At the moment the Bowman-j ville Police Department has four full time officers, a desk sergeant and one part time officer Chief1 Smith said. Greatost Need Upon being asked what he considered to be the greatest need in Bowmanville.ý Mayor Os- borne answered storm sewers. He went on to add that an in- crease in the capacity of the, sewage plant and a new filtra- tion plant are also needed. Another School By 1959 Does Bowmanville have suf- ficient school space for its child- ren? The present public sehool population of 1,280 now f ilîs al the rooms in the three public schools. Bill James answered. But by 1961 there will be at least 1,560 pupils which will require seven more rooms. The assessor's figures of the various age groups allows the school board to hazard an intel- ligent guess as to the number of school age children in the near future, Mr. James explained. However it is impossible to ascertain how many children move into Bowmanville. P.U.C. Weil Admlnlstered In exlaining the role of the P.U.C. in Bowmanville Morley Vanstone stated that it was formed in the early thirties. The Mayor and two elected representatîves sit on the board. Over the years the P.U.C. has been fairly well administered and has managed to build up a sizeable reserve and are thus able to finance most of their undertakings without borrow- ing, Mr. Vanstone stated.

Summers appeared in the Bowmanville Lions Bulletin last week. The author was versatile Don Williams. He Was A Great Guy Somehow, we have an ideai Winter Fa1r in a few weeks, but the backsîdes of these animals are going to miss a familiar tap - the touch of the master judge. The Lions Club annual Rural Nite will be held in the not too distant future, but the master of ceremonies and raconteur will be absent. Yes, a big man has been taken from our midst; big in the way God meant every man to be big - by helping others. He brought more honours to his community annually than the rest of us do in a lifetîme. But rather than bask in his own personal glory he would spotlight '-his boys". This is one of the truc tests of the big man.
