TEE CANADIAN STATI~MAN, EOWMMIVTLLE, ONTAMO THURSDAY, AUG. ?th, 1958 I :SUGAR and SPICE:- A vast change has corne over surmer living in the Canadian smnall town n the past twenty or thirty years. And I'm not at ail sure that it's been a change for the bet- ter. This gre at tbought came te me tonigbt. We've had a week of real, old-fashioned, bot summer weatber, and as 1 sat here in tbe quiet, cool kitchen witb notbing but thue thunder- ing of tbe motbs against the screen door to distract'me, 1 got reminiscing about sum- mer in the 120's, wben 1 was a skinny, littie, freckle-faced kid. ,For somne strange reason, in those days kids didn't.came running in ta their mothers eight times a day, whining: 'What'll we do, Mom? Gee, thcre's no fun outside. Haw about taking us for a swim? Can wc bave a nickle for a popsickle?" Quite tbe contrary. Motb- ers inthose days practicaily bad ta caau the police ta 10o- cate their youngsters so tbey could drag tbemn in and feed themn three times a day. For eidren of those times, there simply were not enough bours in the day, and night aiways fell far too early. For a boy, in those days, there wcre about 480 fascin- ating things ta do on a fine summer day. There were no organized swimming lessons, no organized softball leagues, no organized anything. Every- thing was beautifully disor- ganized. You snatched a brcad-and-jam sandwich in the cool, bright of the morn- ing, and took off like a scar- cd rabbit. Maybe you went up ta, the fair-grounds and played bard- bail (softball was a glrl's game in tbose days) ail morn- ing. Tbcre'd bce about twelve kids on each side, and every pitcb, cvery close play, was ar- gucd vioiently, wlth a lot of pushing in the cbest and fierce rcpartce like: "Oh, Yeah? Sez Who?" Maybe you took a swing around by the sandpit, crawl- ed into the carefully conceal- cd cave and lay around with the gang, smoking monkey ta- bacco in toilet paper, and plot- ting a horrible fate for the gang in the next street over. Maybe you just sat on top of a wall, in the sun, chew- Dispensed by BiW Smiley Ing lcorice and seeing who could spît the farthest.

Maybe you lay an a wood- en bridge and fished, the hours peeling off like petals as you watched the dark wa- ter below and the stir as the tail of a traut moved, the rest of bim unseen behind a log. Or maybe you swam in tbe river until your lips were blue and your eyes ahl blood- shot, then lay baking in the sun, mindlcss, following the ponderous dance of the great, cumulous ciouds. Maybe you had a "feed". First, you'd search for emp- ty beer botties, seli tbem, and invest the profits in wjeners. Then you'd send the bcst snatcber of the gang to swipe a buncb of bananas off the outside stand at the fruit store. Tben you'd ail go borne and steal (you neyer asked for It, you stole it), any food you could get away with, and maybe a bandful of Dad's Pipe tobacco. Then you'd al retire to the cool, vaulted depths of the old distillery cellar and bave an orgy that would make one of Nero's feasts look like a Sunday Sebool picnic. After supper, a swift gulp- ing of corn on the cob and cold apple sauce, new de- lights beckoned. You could climb into the tree-house and kick little girls in tbe face when tbey tried ta clîmb up. There was Run-Shccp-Runi and Redlight in the gather- ing dusk. There was creep- ing up, with suppressed gig- gles, on your big sister and her beau as they sat in sus- piciaus silence an the porch. It was wlth the sharpest'of Pain and the most bitter of sorrow that you heard your mother's whIstle or piercing 'Yooo Hooo" tolling the knell of parting day. Every mother bail a different cal for ber brood, and we knew our own from two blocks away. And every father bad the same treatment for kids who failed to respond -a Leafy Spurge Weed Difficuit to Destroy Leafy Spurge, also known as Betcher's Weed or Faitnor's Grass, has been called "'the weed that has taken possession of farms and driven their owners to poorhouse". This is not far from thetruth for it is such a dangerous weed that it bas been classed under the Canad Seeds Act as a "Prohibited Noxious Weed", stat«s the Field Crops Branch of the Ontario Depart-I ment of Agriculture. This class- ification means that not one Leafy Spurge seed may be pre- sent in any seed offered for sale in Canada. Lcafy Spurge is a long-lived, dcep rooted perennial which grows from seed and under- ýELECTRICAL CONTRMI fWIRING - REPAIRS j ground root stalks. The root sy- stem extends into the soit oaa depth of twa feet or more. The stems graw from anc ta three feet high and exerete a thick, milky white sap when braken. The flowers, which bloam from June ta September, are greenish- yellow and borne in flat-tappcd clusters with aring of leaf-like bracts at the base of each clus- ter. The deep root system makes it very bard ta kili, either by cultivation or chemicals. Small patches sbauld be trcatcd with chemicals because cultivation may drag roots to other parts of the field, thus sprcading the in- festation, as a halt-inch section of root is capable of producing a new plant. Patches may be trcated with soil sterilants such as D.B. Granular (a mixture of baron and 2, 4-D), Monuron, or *mixtures of Sodium Chlorate, applied according ta the mnau- facturer's directions. Large infestations are costly ta eradicate with ebemicals, but may be kept under contrai with a 50-50 mixture of 2, 4-D and 2, 4, 5-T (Brushkiil) at a rate of ane or two, pounds of acid per acre. If possible, two treatments shouid be given in the first ses- son, anc in mid-June and an- other in late August. Further treaments may ho necessary in the second season. Eradication of large infesta- tians by cultîvation ususliy re- quires continous field operations for at least twa seasons. Any pa- tches whicb stili survive then be treated with chemicals as re-- commended above. Leafy Spurge may aiso be cantrolled by grazing it with sheep whose grszing habit wili weken the plants and prevent them from producing seed. a M L.et us prepare your car for summer driving WHEL EALANCING WHEEL ALIGMNNT Robson Mo tors Limited BUICIK - PONTJC - G.MC.TIVJCJ2K DEALER 166 King st.

Good Contests At Cedarshores' Sports Day The sports day held at Cedar- shores Beach, Scugog Island, was a decided success on Sat- urday. There was a good at- tendance and keen interest was shown in the races and contests by the spectators as well as by the participants. Alvin Teno, president of the Cedarshoresj Beach Association, was the MC,' and the judges were Oscar Park- er, T. Chenier and Glenholme Hughes. The resuits were as follows:j Cbampionship Swim, ages 14 years and over-lst Evelyn Hughes, 2nd Raymond Hunt; Boys and Girls Swim, ages 9 ta 12-lst Dan Hughes, 2nd Glen Hunt; Boys and Girls Swim, ages 13 ta 15 years-lst Ray- mond Hunt, 2nd Eddy Teno; Mixed Canoe Race, boy and girl, any age-lst Raymond Hunt and Theresa Lindholme, 2nd Eddy Teno and Tina Hughes; Men's Horseshoe 'Elimination Contest-Ist A.

What Others Say CANADA: A MULTI - RACIAL1 NATION Canada has been, since its beginning, a nation made up of two, predom-inate origins, Eng- lish and French. However, thisý is graduaily changing as anc effeet of immigration aver theý years has been ta graduallyl broaden the ethnie origins of the population. As the C.M.A.ý publication points out, in 1901, 60 per cent of Canadians were of British stock, 32 percent French, wbile those af other origins made up the rcmaining eight percent. By 1951 the percentages had changed ta become 48 Britisbh 31 French and 21 other. In other words, between 1901 and 1951, the proportion of Cana- dians of either British or French extraction declined from 92 per- cent ta 79 percent. And since mare than a million of aur post- war immigrants bave entered Canada since 1951, aven haîf of thcm from Continental Europe, it is obvrous that the trend is unlikely ta ho halted, much less reversed. Canada's population, now es- timated around 17 million, should increase by another mil- lion sometime in 1960. When it does, we will be able ta chaiR up a net gain of no less than six million people since 1945, a greater number than now live in Ontario, mast populous of the provinces..1 A Population increase of 50 percent in the 15 post-war years must surely rank as anc of the world's fastest-grawing coun-' tries. Yet w. remain a giant in in.fancy, baving possibly fewer people per habitable square mile than any other nation on earth. There is roomn for many mare. 0f the post-war six million who will ho among us by the end of 1960, some four million will b. accountcd for by births, some twa million by immigra- tion. The fact that the post- war immigrant total now ex- ceeds 1,700,000 would secm ta indicate that it wiil reach the two million mark within the next few years and Canada will become a multi-racial so- ciety. This can make for new strength and stability, particu- larly in immigrants of all races wiIl take out Canadian citizen- ship at the first opportunity. In s0 doing they wifl h proclaimn- ing formal aliegianeto, the land wbich they themnselves have adapted and ta which they can add so much.-Uxbridge Times- Journal. When you argue with a fool be sure be isn't imilarly en- gagect, Chief Goodyear Chemist New -Lions --Pregident A member of the Bowman- ville Lions Club for seven years, Ralph Meîntyre, succeeded Fred Cale, July lst as president for the 1958-59 season. Mr. Meîntyre came ta Bow- manville as a chemist at the Goodyear in 1944. In 1956, he was appointed chief chemist and bas beld this position since. With the Lions, he has scrv- cd an the House and Member- ship committees and in bis sec- ond year was ebairman of the House Cammîttee. In Febru- ary 1954, he was eiectcd chair- man of the Bowmanville Re- creatian Departmcnt. H-e was elected to the Board of Dircc- tors, then became treasurer. He served as vice-presîdent for two years and became president. Born in Toronto, Mr. Mcmn- tyre attendcd public and bigh schaol in Mimico. He was in the graduating ciass of 1944 at the University of Toronto with a, dcgree in Chemical Engineer- ing. Ralph and Lee Melntyre have two children, Jane, six, and Deane who is eight months old. As president, Mr. Melntyre serves with the Lions Club as it sponsors moncy raising pro- jects such as their annual car- nival which is ta be held on Saturday, August 23rd. The proceeds of these occasions are forwardcd ta the Canadian In- stitute of thL- Blind or spent on giasses, wheel chairs, etc., for those who need them.

In addition they beip psy the wages of the life- guard at West Beach and main- tain a ward at the Bowman- ville Memorial Hospital. Each Lion member serves on a coni- niittee and together as a whoie for the betterment of the cam- munity. Caution Emphasized in Produce Truck Operation The season is rapidiy getting under way when large quantit- ies of farm prdouce are being moved in orchards, vegetable I fields, and onto highways. Ex- treme caution is nccessary,l states W. B. Fox, Director, Fruit and Vegetable Extension Ser- vice, Ont. Dept. of Agriculture, ta prevent accidents caused by weak springs, braken racks, and improper loading of trucks. Owners of trucks should ex- amine springs after each trip ta sec that leaves arc not brok- en. Also, racks oftcn rmay be cracked or broken and should be repaired immediatcly. Good loading procedures sho- uld be observed sa that the load does flot shift during transit on the farm, road or highway. There are instances every sea- son of the tail gate becoming un- fastened on fruit trucks, and swinging into the path of on- coming traffie on heavily trav- elled bighways. Baskets of pro- duce can fall off the rear of such trucks directly into the path' of falwing traffic. Many ser- iaus accidents can be the final result. Drivers are urged ta use care in loading fruit and vege- table trucks ta make racks se- cure. Needless accidents can, then be avoided. Chrysier Wtt! Han die Simca Cars and Trucks Says Firm s President Former Durhamite, Ron W. Todgham, President of Chysier of Canada announced on FrI- day that bis company wil ban- dle ail Canadian distribution of automotive products buiit b.y the Simca company of France. The move wili make avail- able ta Chrysier of Canada dea- lers an outstanding line cf European-type, low-cost econo- my automobiles and trucks. It follows annauncement that Chr- ysler Corporation is acquiring a substantial interest in the lar- ge French company and bas entered into a marketing agree- ment for the world sale of auto- motive products of the two co- mpanies. "As soon as the variaus Can- adia-i asoects ai. the mave have been worked out," Todghamn stated, "aur dealers will be able ta share in a segment of the automotive market that shows considerabie promise of future development." The Simca organization is one of the wonld's fastest graw- ing auto producers. The com- pany has increased its output from 42,000 vehicles in 1951 ta 172,000 vehicies last year. Pro- duction in the f irst quarter of 1958 totaiied 56,000 vebicles, compared ta, 41,000 for the same period a year ago. The company's autos present- ly include the Aronde, Ariane and Vedette lines, with a wide range of body styles in escri line. The Aronde is a 4-cylinder, 96-inch wheelbase automobile which has attained gas cean- amy of better than 40 miles per gallon. Recen'tly a stock Aronde set 14 world's endur- ance recards by campleting a 63,000-mile run, operating con-1 tinuousiy fan 36 days, at' an average speed of 70.2 miles peri hour, înciudîng pit stops. The Vedette models are pow- ered by a V-8 engine, and arc buiit in a 106-inch wheelbasc. The Simca campany also bui- Ids a very extensive range of trucks. "The excellence of Simca pro- ducts bas already been accept- cd in world markets," conclu- ded Todgham, "and the addit- ion of these fine automobiles ta Chrysier of Canada dealer- ships across the nation will greatly improve aur dealer's competitive positian." Commenting on the new de- veiapment both Tom and Hap Palmer and Salesman Jesse Am- es of Palmer Motor Sales here said they were delighted ta learn they soon would bave a smailer car_ available for eus- tomers. iWHATi OTHERS SAYI Flying Tiger Montreal Gazette General Claire Chennault died yesterday, aften a long and los- ing fight against cancer, but the Chennault legend certainly did not die with bim. Cbennault was a fighting man of such dedication that he was only really' happy when in com- mand of a first-class fighting group- preferably against an enemy with a strong advantage in numbers. It was he who organized the Flying Tigers in China; the was«officially known as the Am- enican Volunteer Graup but it was the Chinese Nationalists who gave it its more famous name because tbey rsted the ti- ger as the mast courageous of beasts. BIngo and Bookies Toronto Globe and Mail Those two flourishing enter- prises of democracy, bingo and bookmaking, sbould bath b. le- galized, inthe opinion of Ont- ario's Labor Minister Charles Daley. Many may agree. As Mr, Daly said, it is non- sense ta condone oniy "casual" bingo (although, anyone who can sit tbrough an evening of bingo on the off-chance of tak- king home a saucepan seems ta reserve recognition). And "bookies", Mn. Daley said should ho legalized "so we know who they are". His audience of politemen may have smiled, since any bookie is likcly ta be known ta police about as soan as he opens up shop. Crime in the UK. Wan Cry A gloomy picture of Britain'sI128 moral condition was painted i the House of Commons by the Home Secretary, Mr. R. A. But- ler, recently. The crime wave continues to rise, he said. The prison popu- lation is now the highest this century. 0f the 25,000 now in j ails, Borstals and detention cen- tres, 5,000 are sleeping three in a ceil. Indictable offences rose by 50,000 over the 1956 total of some 350,000. Non-indictable offences haive also soared by 50, 000, an increase of 10 percent. The Home Secretary also re- ferred to a "most disturbing increase in offences committed by young people"'. Twenty-five percent more boys and girls between 14 and 17 were indic- ted in the first nine months of 1957 than in 1956. COURAGE PLUS- KNOW-HOW Corner Brook Western Star. A young man, Ailister Buf- fett of Grand Bank, is reported to have plunged into the waters of the harbor, swam quite a distance, fisbed out a boy ot fine years, applicd artif icial respiration, and saved bis life. Bravery would bave only cost another life, unless Allîster Buffett bad known how to swim. Unless' he, or someone nearby, bad known the techni- que of artifîcial respiration, the effort to pull the boy from the6 water would have mneant only the rçcovery of the body. It took the man witb the spirit plus the knowiedge to save a young life. Buffett had been instructed in swimming and in lifesaving by tbe Red Cross. The course shouid be more widely known and availed of. VETLED VOTER Saint John Telegraph-Journal. Senator Elsie Inman of Mon- tague, P.E.I., believes that wom- en should work side by side with men in the political field in the development of Canada, as their grandmothers dîd in the pion- eer work of establishing homes and communities. For more than forty ycars in ber own province of P.E.I. she had contended with the maie attitude that women sbould keep bouse and keep quiet, as well as with women's own in- difference to public affairs. On one occasion, she recailed, after women received the right to vote, anc woman was afraid that if she did bier husband wouid kili bier. Mrs. Inman and friends took bier ta the polis heavily veiied. Odd, isn't it, how things have cbanged? A veiled woman ap- pearing at the poils today would attract as much attention as this one sought to avoid. OBITUARY' GERTRUDE A. (PAT) GREEN Many friends in Leskard, Or- ono, Bowmanvilie and district were saddened by the news of the .death of Gertrude Alice (Pat) Green, wife of Ernest Green of Leskard. Mrs. Green was only 44 years of age. She died on July 28th aftcr a short iliness of 10 days, while on va- cation wîth lier husband and two sons, Alec Brian, age 15, and Burt Edwin, age 11. A sis- ter, Mrs. Eva Tellis, Tewkes- bury, England, and a brother, Geoge IPalmer, London, Eng- land, also survive. Mrs. Green was a valued correspondent for the Canadian Statesman. She covered the news for this newspaper in the Leskard district for a number Aphids Reported in Tiarnip Growing Areas An attack by the turnip aphid on turnips bas been reported from many farms in the turnip- growing areas. Small turnips seem to be more heavily infest- ed. This aphid is more likely ta seriously injure or kil young turnip plants. ,Turnip growers are advised by H. W. Gable, Provincial Ent- omologrist, ta examine the under- sides of the leaves for these green apbids. If tbey are present, there are several of the phos- phate-type insecticides that may be used as sprays or dusts. Spray material and equipment for spr- aying is more likely ta Ibe av- ailable. Malathion is effective, espec- ially if applied when the wea- ther is hot and calm. Use the 25%,- malathion wettable- powe der at 4 po1pnds the 50%/ mal(3 the acre, ap'.S it in the am.- ount of water. your spray ma- chine applies per acre. Better control can be expected if the pressure is sufficient ta get the spray ta the undersides of the leaves. Para thion or TEPP may be 'ised in place of malathion. These materials may have certain ad- vantages over malathion but the spray operator will require a rnask and must follow al saf- ety precautions. "Look, Mgz! No Han ds!" A new twist bas been given ta Rowland Hill's maxim that there is fia reuson why the de- vii shouid have ail the good tunes.

Hooper's King St. W. Bowmanville able consideration. Who amoni us can put hand over heart and swear that, from eariiest child- hood, he (or she) has been in- nocent of just that offence? When we cease ta thirik that it is fun to ride a bicycle without bothering to hold its bandiebars, then we have lost the first fine careless rapture of youth. The impulse returns, at times, to the most staid grown-ups, even tbaugh they have flot the excuse that they need both hands for a cornet. It survives long after the wish to mount without aid from the nearside pedal and by vaulting into the saddle. Behind the pleasure in bring- ing off these feats of balance is a justifiable sense of pride. Mastering a bicycle is the near- est most of us ever get ta being acrobats. Custom bas staled the exercise. But, when you coîne to think of it, it does remain a famous victory in defiance, as it first seems, of the laws of gravity. When the bicycle was young it was taken as seriously as it deserves to be. They found it necessary, in the sixties, to de- clare that "the practice of rid- ing or driving upon bicycles does not form any part of the examinations of the civil ser- vice commissioners". But many of them, then and since, have felt as pleased with themscives, wben they first took their hands off the bars, as they did at solving a tricky equation. Although later inventions have robbed it of some of its rom- ance, the bicycle still has a proud place on the roads. Pedalling, like walking, may be on the way out.
