Aimost ever'y week, some new pro.. grmfor an afternoon, or an evening, ha. tacn shPe and within the very near future, it la hoped to have a complet. tchedufle cf events available for publica- tion. At the moment, there are severai Parades, carnivals, dances in the streets and other special events well organized. There is a variety night and, it is hoped to present the broadcast "Neighboriy News" on the Sunday mnorning of the big week from one of the local auditoriums. The town looks somewhat like an Arab vilage witli over a hundred young and old men walking up and down street or d-iving their cars behind tremendous crops cf whisker foliage. Most of them are beginning to take forin compared with the bnisties of the first few weeks and by June, there should be some magnificent g row'ths to show the visitors who will have to be introduced 1*, many of the men behind thern. This week, there are three specific news items in The Statesman of consid- erable interest to-church geers of different denominations and different communities. This, cf course, is in addition te the many reports cf well-attended Mother's Day or Christian Fami1y Day services in the area and the accompanying names cf. those very young people who were baptized in, large numbers. While it is difficult te give priority te any cf the three items, possibly the one which wili surprise the most local citizens is the announcement that the Reverend T. Arthur Morgan has accepted a caîl te an Ottawa church. He has for six years been pastor of Trinity United in Bowman- ville and a very popular pastor. With his wife, Lillian, he has conducted a fine min- istry here anid it wiil be with considerable regret that his congregation iearns through this paper that he will be leavijng at the end of June. His new post is a challeng. Ing one for a young, dedicated man and the citizens cf the entire comrnunity will wish him well. The second church item concerns St. Joseph's Roman Catholic congregatien. For the first time, many cf this fast-grow- ing congregation will see in this issue an architect!s drawing cf their magnificent Painters, paper hangers, carpenters bAve started their paint up and f ix up prograins on many stores and homes, so everything will be ready te, welcome those Who will be ceming from far and near to renew acquaintance with their home town. Higgon Electric have undertaken the biggest renovation with an entirely new store, front that completely changes the appearance of the building. No doubt others will follow as the turne for the festival draws dloser. 1Éo date, over 800 out-of-town ex- residents have let the Chamber of Com- merce Secretary-Manager Ken Morris know they will be coming. There- must be many more who, in the next few weeks, will decide to make any effort necessary ta come home for Bowmanville's lOth birthday. This editorial is being written especially for those out-of-towners who have not yet made up théir minds. Your old friends - and you'll f ind many cf themn here even if you have been away a long turne - will be waiting and eager te welcôme you back te the sce-ne of your yesteryears. We urge you te make the trip. It will be worth while. Their mnany- friends, not only among newsa Irclîcague, but aise in Bow.. manvil hr they lved will be hapy ta hear that the Wightman family news- paper, The Napanee Post-Express, has returned home. It will be recalled that this family suffered a disastrous fire on Deoernber 12th which almost completely wiped out their plant and building. Accustomed te adversity, and with great courage, they undertook te rebuild and have now coin- pleted the monumental task. Their courage throughout their lives overcomirng sctbacks and seemingly im- passable obstructions provides an object lesson for al cf us. While in Bowman- ville in 1929 and for several years aftcr- wards, H. D. Wightrnan was foreman cf The Canadian Statesman. He and his fine wife had three children, Margaret, Joe and Henry. H{enry had been cippled with polio at a very early age and bis father was determihed the bey would walk. He constructed special apparatus and invented equipinent which exercised the boy's arins and legs and the entire famnily encouraged Henry. Tragedy was net through with thein by any means, and while Henry was stili struggling te operate, his feet, Joe teck polio and died. If We Don't Get While next Monday, May 19, will be the holiday, to mnany of us, Victoria Day will always be the 24th of May. In earlier years, the standard expres- sion chanted by school children was "The 24th of May is the Queen's Birthday. If we don't get a holiday, we'll ail run away." Now, the holiday part of the birthday is quite well established for which ail and sundry must thank Victoria (rest her seul in peace). But, memnory being what it is, probably few people will recaîl why and how the date was shifted fromn the 24th with wldin u ncorporated nhe bowuaavgll News, Th.

Malane and involves an approximate $150,000 expenditure. It will not only be a fine tribute to, his earnest and energetic efforts, but will transforrn a piece of bar- ren land into a useful place of beauty. The final, but by ne means least of the church items of interest is another indication of the interest and self-sacrifice that present day church members, have in the improvement of their facilities. It was a happy, proud congregation that attended the dedication cf the Hamrnond electric organ at Enniskillen United Church on Sunday evening. This tee was a program that called for continued effort by many people and donatiens by sympa- thetic former residents who stili had an interest in their home community. Al their contributions of turne and finances must have brought great satisfaction ta them during that elevating service. Our hope is that the churches of al deneminations in this district will continue te grow, prosper and prove their worth in maintaining a high regard for religion in this fast-moving wonld. After a few years, Henry did walk and Mn. Wightman took a position with The Standard-Freeholder .!f -Corriw â. His drive, skill and ability took him te the top with that paper and he became its Managing Editor. A heart attack follow- cd, forcing hum te make arrangements for a lcss hectic occupation. In the meantime, Margaret had done well at school and a few years after graduation, marnied, and is now living in'Western Canada. Henry had been through university and. was working with one of the government departments in Ottawa. His father made arrangements te take over the Napanee Post-Express which he operated successfully for several years against formidable local opposition. Aften subsequent heart attacks had further in- capacitated Mr. Wightman Sr., Henry decided te throw in bis lot with bis father and together they have carnied on the paper until disaster struck again in December. Now, they have overcome another set- back and started on a new stage in their progressive troubled journey through life. We hope that, at long last, Lady Luck will shine upen their efforts and allow thein many years of uninterrupted good fortune. They have certainly had more than their share of shock and sorrow. a Holiday.... cf May te the l9th. The Opening cf Panliament brought the event back te our mmnd this week. The date was changed only a few years ago because cf the actions of one man named Dr. John Lorne MacDougall, the Member cf Panliament for Vancouver-Burrard con- stituency in Bitish Columbia. He came te the conclusion that it would be much more sensible if this particular holiday were celebrated on the Monday, prier te the 24th cf May, giving everybody a nice, long weekend eanly duning the nice weath- er. Hegpepared and presented a private bill te tis effect and, àfter a couple cf years, the governinent of the day accepted bis proposaI, the bill passed and became law. Dr. MacDougall was a dentist and a finst war veteran who was still carrying a considerable anieunt cf shrapnel frein a shell blast. He was in constant pain frein these war wounds and aise suffered frein diabetes, but was one cf the most cheerful members cf the House cf Commons. His p et hobby was nicknaming other MPs.

The chap frein the north country who appear- cd at the opcning this week dressed in a parka and mukluks was a natural for the nickname "Eskie". The doctor died in a washroom at the House cf Commons, dramatically and trag- ically frein a heart attack, the day alter the famous (or infamous) Gas Pipe Line debate had ended.

Dean Sir: In your article of Apnil 24th, 1958, you severely criticize the Steelwerkers union for request- ing wage increases. You ignore completely the tact that thE Steelworkers union bas pubhicl.y stated it would prefer te see a reduction in steel prices as the best means o! increasing consumer purchasing power. You charge, in advance, that higber wages -in thé steel in- dustry would mean bigber pni- ces for Canadian censumens. Wvitbout the sligbtest bit of sup- porting evidence for thus cdaim. Enclosed please find three booklcts prepared by the U.S. section o! our union, and a more reçent bookiet preparcd by the Canadian office of our union. The U.S. booklcts prove con- clusivcly that Amenican steel pi-ices are net based on the wages and salaries paid eut, fier bave tbey been reduced as a rcsult of the increascd pro- ductivity of Amenican steel- workers. The U.S. industry bas charged cvcry nickel the mar- ket will bear because it bas been for some years in a pos- ition where there was less steel available than there was de- znand for steel. This is common business practice bascd* on the old-fashioned law o! supply and demand. Tbey bave re- hnvested their enormous earn- ings in new cquipment whicb now puts thein in a position whcre they can make profits even when demand drops off. The making of profits ha their pnimary purpose. As for the Canadian steel industry, it bas been in the even more fortunate position where it can charge customens as much or a bit more than Ainerican prices, since the U.S. industry i the only real com- petition. This bas been donc despite the fact that they pay Canadians hess tbap the U.S. in- dustry pays American workers, and despite the tact that the productivity of the average Canadian steclworker is just as bigh as that of Amenican steelworkers in miuls of com- parable size. Unless and until the Canadian industry agrees that prices and productivity must be subjeet te negotiation, just as wages and salaries are subjcct te negotiatien, there is ne point in asking labour te tic Uic two items together. Our union bas statcd that it would prefer te sec a eut ini pnices as the best metbod o! incneasing overall consumer buying power at a tume whtn such buying power is neccîs- ary te combat the recession. Its demand for wage increases is a sccond-bcst alternative. The industry could actually ctit pnices and.increase wages with- Dut any trouble. It would bc mest reassuring te sce an influential publica- tion such as the "Canadian Statesman" start te scriously demand a price reduction, ra- ther than repeating the hoary argument about wagc increases producing prîce increases, when, in the Canadian steel industry, the tacts den't bear eut thc ar- gument.

The latest incident o! such is o! panticu- lar interest because we arc well acquainted with the people in- volved.' About six weeks ago, our son Fred, was on thc roof of James Boggs' house te ascertain why it leaked. He was getting on the ladder, te descend, when it slipped sideways, his left leg went betwcen thc rungi, and when bis weight cane down on thc laddcr, as it bit the ground, the laddcr smashed the bones near the knec cap. In hospital, the leg was open- cd, the bancs "pinned" into place. and a caît put on. Sub- sequent x-nays showed a break that utili needed attention, se off camne the jelly old cast, in order that the poor old leg ceuld be opened on the opposite side te enable the saw bancs ta do funthen repains, after which a fresh cast was welded on, thus ending episode No. 2. Af- ter three weeku, Freddic was sent home, with crutches, and blow me down if the poor guy didn't develop pleuriay and pncumonia, and landcd night back on bis litthe cet in thc bei- pital.

By the way, be only fell about ten feet, yet this same chap used ta walk nonchalant- hy around on the thre inc wide framework, 85 feet above ground, of those steel hydre towers that dot thc countryside.
