Have you ever stopped ta tbink what loyalty really means? It is patriotism in a sense, but loyalty bas another mneaning which might be well for us ta consider. You were loyal ta your country during the world war, you were loyal ta the company in the manner in which you per- formed your daiiy job, and you were loyal ta your home in giving support. But, folks, have you been loyal ta yourselves? Loyalty ta one's self is a very im- portant item in aur daily life. If you mnaintain an absolute loyalty to yoursel! you're bound ta be loyal ta your home and country, for being loyal ta yourself inspires and makes loyaity for the athers. If you do things wbicb are injuriaus ta your heaith, you are not being loyal ta yourself. For it is nature's iaw that any one of iii health cannot go as far or as This is the age of escape literature, tranquillizer pis, spectator sports, late, late TV shows and other devices to ease the boredom of increased leisure, so states the Acton Free Press in a thought pro- voking editoriai. There appears to be a growing belief that the greatest good is ta be compietely free of ail anxiety and this in turn means that one shouid be com- pietely free of ail responsibility. The truth is that the difference be- tween a strong man and a weak man is that the strong man accepts responsibility vhereas the weak man shuns it. It is very frequentiy true that this is the essential difference also between the poor man and the rich man. Despite the fact that man has made such strides in the field of science that it is now necessary for him to spend less than a third of bis ~I I Ê1aaia >~tadegman Establmhed 1854 with which in incorparated 1he Bowmanville News, Thé Nwcastle Independont and Th.

Man just hasn't faced up ta bis respansibility ta put bis free time ta effective use. Bishop Fulton J. Sheen bas said that "Nothing is more destined ta create deep-scatcd anxieties in people than the false assumptian that life should be free from anxieties." As Bishop Sheen points out, cabbages have no anxieties, the stones on the roadwav have no worries, pigs do not need ta be relieved o! their inner avç'r-sensitiveness and turkeys neyer develop a fear o! neurosis. Only man has tensions and anxieties and some o! those are very definitely normal. One o! the responsibilities wbich shauld be ours as individuals is ta under- stand and appreciate the economic and political systema under wbich we operate. We are proud o! the fact that we live in a democracy but if wc accept the definition that democracy means rule of the people, by the people and for the people then we must'also accept that responsibility o! knowing something o! how ta rule. Every individuai has responsibilities ta bis fam- ily, bis fniends, bis community, bis cauntry and bis God. To shrug them off is ta, invite frustration as well as moral and social bankruptcy. Observations and Opinions There is a pronounced f'mprovement this year in the quality o! the CBC Farm Radia Programs. This is due ta the bigher calibre o! the participants. Ail the pro- grams we have heard so far this xear have been in the hands o! men o! kniowledge and understanding, who based their opinions on facts and sound reasoning, and not an their wishes or their prejudices. Such prognams ai-e aluable and can do much ta promote souind thinking on farm problems. We hope the CBC will keep up the good work. ?N! CANADIM STATESMAN. BOWMA&NVnL. ONTAM E-DITORIALS Perpetuating the Memory cf A Fine Citizen Next Monday, young and older farm- ex-s, maie and female, in Durham County will launch a drive for funds for a fitting mremonial to the late Ed. Summers. Plans which already have been formn- ulated indicate that this fund will be used not for a stone monument, but ta per- petuate the work amang young rural folk which was so dear ta Mr. Summers' heart. This will truly be a living rnemar- il, which year after year, will recaîl the 27 years af devated service this fine citizen gave ta Durham citizens. There is na need here ta recail his many achievements for agriculture, bis intense love of his wark in praviding education ta young f armers and bis hearty, but sympathetie approach ta their prob- lems. Those who will be cantributing ta this fund are well aware of these Too attributes and the many records he and bis young fniends and pupils smashed over the years. We can only urge the citizens in the communities and along the sideroads of Durham ta give a generous welcome ta those who are taking their time ta build this fund so that Mr. Summers' wark may be continued indefinitely. We congratu- late the organizers on their enthusiasm and interest in such a campaign and know that Mr. Summers' many fniends in this county wiii sweli the coffers of this fund ta the point where many scholarships and other benefits wiii accrue ta those young rural citizens who thus will be encouraged ta remain on the land and improve them- selves and their products - just as Ed. Summers wouid have wished. Let us rnake certain this campaign goes over the top, quickly! Intimate tc Give Alil the Details Since the service clubs were first started in Bowmanvilie, aven 30 years ago, each has concentrated on certain abject- iveos. The Rotary Club has pretty much confined itseif ta aiding and rehabilitating cnîppled children. My, what a wonderful bumanitarian work the Rotarians have accomplished for scores of these unfartunate dîsabled chiidren! The club records show that every municipality in West Durham, which is this club's ternitory, has benefitted one or more patients by making it possible for them ta receive professional treatment, which ordinarily would not have been availabie ta restore them ta normai activ- ities. The work of aiding crippled chiidren is o! such an intimate and personal nature that the club ightly refrains f rom giving publîcity ta the hundreds of cases the R~otary Club has been able ta belp. They, however, have the satisfaction o! knowing the wonderful work that bas been accompiished. In carrying out this cippled cbiidren's program year after year the Rotary Club oniy acts as an intermediary for the people at large who have been s0 generous in contnibuting ta this worthy cause. 0f course, the Rotary Club also raises funds through its money raising plans such as their annual concerts and other objectives. Thus, by way of introduction, we draw ta the attention of aur readers that the Bowmanvilie Rotary Club is this manth cooperating with the Ontario Society for Crippled Children in making its annual appeal ta citizens of the town and im- mnediate district, ta buy Easter Seals as a means of aiding in the great effort ta help crippied children. Tbiz as the time of hope for many thousands of unfortunate boys and girls who have been crippled by disease or accident. The number inc'ludes many.in your own community. Down through the years the Rotary Club has been responsibie for restoring ta health and strength many of these children. Now you are being, given the oppor- tunity ta have a part in this work througb the purchase o! Easter Seals. The returns from this annual campaign have paved theJ way for a magnificent programme which provides nursing and surgical skills for treatment of the youngsters and which rnakes provision for rehabilitating and instructing the handicapped chiidren. In f jvc camps, unlike any other camps in the country, hundreds of youngsters will have a chance at summer vagations, barred ta them otherwîse because they cannot play exactly as other cbiidren do. In these camps, counsellors with knowl- edge of what ta do, teach the kids ta enjoy life, ta learn how ta enjoy themselves, and give many of them hope which their conditions, or even their overprotective parents, had flot aroused. Easter Seais, too, enroli the services of leading physicians and surgeons, who give freely of their time and skilis at the clinies which the Society organizes at strategic centres in Ontario, where local doctors may bring their young patients for examination and recommended treat- ment. From the clinics the children go ta haspital, if necessary, or back ta their homes for a programme of planned therapy or training supervised by the Saciety's nurses.

More than 80 members of the organizatian attended the meeting and heard a stirring and inspiring address by Dick Hilliard, Toronto, Director of Extension for the1 Ontaria Department of Agriculture. First Responsibility Mr. Hilliard urged the Jun- lor Farmers' ta take a sincene and active intenest in the a!- fairs of their community. "One o! the !irst responsibilities for many o! you in the near future will be the establishment. of a home," he said. "While establishing a haone you will find youn interests and responsibilities are con- fined ta the school, the chunch, and the local community. These are the institutions with which you will be closely connected," he pointed out. Foundation of Coninunity "These things - the home, school, and the church are the foundations o! the cammunity. By doing your shiane of work in these onganizations, you wil] be helping ta build a commun- ity o! which you may be proud and one which will be a better place for those who corne a! ter you. "Take an interest in the edu- cation o! youn childnen, attend P.T.A. or Home and School meetings, or serve on the local board o! education. Make edu- cation youn business. It is a sound investment in the fu- ture. Do Volunteer Work "Churches are always look- ing for volunteer wonkens, lu the choir, the Sunday School or vanlous yout.gnoups. A strong affiliation with the chunch will strengthen your home and help ta build a bet- ter comrnunity. "Take time for an active in- terest in the affairs o! the com- munity. Support your local fair or businessmen's association, serve on the board o! anefta or community centre. If you can find time, act as leader o! a 4-H Club. Be a good neighbour. High Pressure "Tremendous pressures are beiug placed on cammunities today-the pressure o! ongani- zations, services, the loss of people in rural communities, the effect o! television, the cal for leadership and the ease of travel, urbanization. ta men- tion a few," he asserted. "I arn daring ta suggest we need in Ontario a thonough study based on research meth- ods o! what a rural communitv consists o! today-in 1958. I'm afraid we are thinking af the old-time community. My opin- ion heads me to believe the ru- ral community, throuigh re- search, would reveal something entirely different ta what we think it is. Serve County "As you grow older, you mi.-ht likçe ta broaden your ne- sponsibillies by serving on the municipal council and taking a bigger share in county and provincial affairs. There is a growing demand today by farm onganizations for leadership o! high calibre to ensure that On- tario farmers will be able ta manage their own affains and see that agriculture receives its fair share o! the national in- came." Befone concluding, Mn. Hill- lard suggested that Junior Farmers' confine themselves ta one or two lines of endeavour and learn everything there is ta be known about themn. Fur- &I Y/oungman's Column . 0 In 1919. E. C. Drury, a farm- er !rom the Barrie district, was appointed Premier o! the On- tario Legisiature. Although bis party was defeated some years later, at the polls, bis sympa- thetie. intelligent approach ta the reforestation problem is stili in evidence in the township- owned plantations thraughout Southern Ontario. Unfortunately, many o! tbese townships have neglected ta do much more than plant, and fence the vanlous properties so that, instead o! the plantations being models of good forestry practices, tbey are the reverse. And we, in Durham County, are among the guilty. The townships o! Manvers. Clarke, and Darlington st.arted off in the right spirit, but the spirit petered out with advanc- ing years. The onlv tbing Clarke did, Was sell their property ta the Dept. o! Higbways, 'who, in turn, eut a hale through the Middle o! the plantation, and built a higbway for aur con- venience. If Manvers bas improved thein plantation, the operation has been a well kept secret. Darlington bas snapped out o! it. and bY so doing. bas eann- ed the plaudits of eve *ryane. In 1922, Darlington purchas- ed five acres of land situated on the west side o! the "Tol Gate Hill"-that's the bill about a mile or su soutb of Hampton, on the Bowmanville ;Scugog Road. The propertv was planted, lenced. forgotten. for more th8n 30 yeans, during which. the writer o! this column was a!ten asked 'wby the Government didn't do something about it." If it was the Township's res- ponsibiity, the "Goveruiment" had no right to butt in, except by invitation. However. a letter f rom a cbap named Allen, criticizing the neglected appearance of the property. acted as a burn under the saddcle o! the Darlington Council, and goaded tbem into action. Thev appointed Councillor Fred Sinith ta !ind out bow many beans make five, and re- port back: During October, Freddie asked your scribe ta take a gander at the praperty, and aller suggestions for its improvement, which was cheen- fully done. On Januany 3lst, PucI John- stan, and Dalton Lindsay, o! the Dept. o! Lands and Forests, in Lindsay, inspected the pro- perty and fonmulated a plan. which Mr. Lindsay presented ta the Council on Feb. 6th. It is ta the credit of the Council that, tbeY accepted the plan, and put it inta operation immedia te ly. Witb available unemployed cit;zens. twa hanmes. pruning saws. azes. and chain saws. Darlington now has a plece of praperty of which they can be veny proud. Under the foremanship of Fred Ferguson, the men prun- ed the branches from the bard- woods Ia a distance o! twentv feet !rom the ground, pnuned the cnnifens about qeven fceet from the ground, then eut, drew and piled ail the trees mnarked for elimination by Mn. Lindsay, the Zone Foresten. Sa that, today, Darlington has about twenty concIs o! pulp- waod, and four cords of hard- wood ready for sale. and a pro- perly thinned plantation in good shape for furthen development. There are still many trees ta be taken out, but that is a thin- ning operation for future years; you just can't take out toa many trees at one time in case o! blow down. Incidenaily, this pnopenty contains some o! the nicest Scotch pine and oak that these tired oid eyes have seen in plantations. The intent of this- article la to draw attention ta the !act that, the Dept. of Lands and Forests have pnoperly trained personnel available ta assist the citizens with their forestry who have similar plantation problems. We are also trying ta show how any council can turn thein unemployed liability into an asset by improving existing township owned wood lots, which, in turn, can be examples ta the mauy property owners problems, Some Darlington ratepa-rrv ma'v he critical o! the monev apent during February. but the 'v should remember that. if the plantation had been properly administered in the past, tue cost would have beau negligible In any' one year.

Pass Fuli Base Acreage For '5 8 Flue Toba*o Crop Allottment o! full base acre- age and the finst acreage ad- justments since 1951. authoriz- ed hast week by the Ontario Flue-Cuned Tobacca Growens' Marketing Board, will see a record 130,000 acres gnawn in 1958 with an estimated produc- tion o! more than 170,000,000 pounds. At the acreage meeting be- tween the Board and buying company nepresentatives in Tlllsonburg on Tuesday, a sphit developed between Board di- nectars about whethen ta reduce production to 95 per cent o! base acreage. Cliairman Jesse Gray broke the tie by voting for full acreage. A policy on tobacco acreage rights was adopted along the following ines: Ail present owners may bning thein acreage ta 45 per cent. o! their total !anm acnea.ge. OlcIer farms with aven that amnount o! acreage nights may netain themn. Multiple fanm owners, howeven, must compute a 45 per cent. average of the acreage of al their lands. New Fanm Policy In the purchase o! new !arms, 30 per cent o! the total cleared acreage can be phanted the first year, incneasing ta 45 per cent over four -years. One curig kiln must be built for eacb six acres o! allotted land. Rights are flot transferable. Applications for adjustment must be in the hands o! the Board by Apnil 1, and kilne must be built by August 1. Said Chairman Gnay: "We have promised relief ta gnow- ens who have labored under hardships far years," Directors opposed ta full base acreage we'-e o! the opinion that with adjusted nights, acre- age and production would b. sharply increased. Amang major changes under the new marketing setup will be establishment o! a minimum average pnice for tobacco each spring. Last week the board author- ized a negotiatian committee ta stant talks witb the buying companies aimed at agreement on a minimum average for the 1958 crap.

Marker to be Erected At Baldwin Homes tead West of Newcastle 12 Pine Ridge Drive, Toronto, 13. Dear Dr. James, Last January, I took the l- berty o! writing ta Prime Min- ister Frost and suggesting that the Province of Ontario place a manken at the site o! the BaldI- win homesteýd. Througb bis gaod offices. this manker will be erected, and an officiai o! the Archaeological and Historie Sites Advisory Board will short- ly came down ta choose the most desîrable location. Since under the circumstan- ces no one eould accuse me of partisanship (there is little doubt wbere the Baldwin con- nection have alwas's stood> I should like to draw attention ta what bas been done largely thraugh the interests o! Prein. 1er Frost in pi-eserving Ont- aria 's henitage. In addition ta a programme o! erecting markers, under the direction o! the Champlain Sa- ciety a serles o! regional his- tories bas been undertaken, Mn. Guillet bas ht-en appointed ta make a collection of pictures of earlv Ontario ife. Schemes such as the restoration of the site of the landing o! the Lo \-- alisis at Adolphumtown have bc-en encouraged and so on and on. To mnany, this encourage- ment o! historical sites mnay seem like labouring in the ob- viaus. But that is to forget there is growing up in Ontario a peneration that know,&s not Joseph, a generatirn a! immi- grants without a British back- geound, and that what remains o! aur henitage is being des- troyed by waves o! social and economic change. The lnterest shown, therefore, by Premier Frost !s both timely and praise- worthy. Theie la also an ecanomie side toalal this. Tounists only stop where there is somethinig ta seý-. and there is no question but that historie sites cause tounists ta bath stop and pro- long ihein stay. The tourist business might be cal]ed an industny withou.t smokeslacks, and no lndustny makes fewer demands on the commu 'ty.
