u'.~ '.~- j - PAGU TOUR TiTU CAAnTM! STATZSBLAN. EOWMAQvniLé. ONTARXO TmYuRsD)AY, FITB. EDITORIALS A WeIl Deserved Tribute Recent developments indicate that ]Bowmanville is on the verge of continu- ing expansion, not only in the residential field which has seen constant growth, but in the commercial portion of the com- munify. This week, following closeiy on the announcement that Grand Union will be constructing a supermarket here, comes more news to the effect thaf The Canadian Tire Corporation bas granted a franchise ta C. Stewart McTavish. Aiready work has begun on the former burned ouf Simp- kmn building on Churcb Street, the future home of this newesf addition fa Bowman- ville's shopping section. Mr. McTavish visited The Statesman on Tuesday o! this week, shorfly affter he had received final approval o! his franch- ise from Canadian Tire. Among the sev- eral reasons he gave for coming to our town was that before deciding on a com- munity he had discussed the situation wifh Industrial Commissioner Ken Morris and former Mayor Nelson Osborne several months ago and they had complefely sold himn on Bowmanville's great prospects for the future. This fine unsolicited tribute ta two of our public spirited citizens is passed along to our readers so that they may know o! the successful efforts o! these two gentle- men. Sometimes, their sfrenuous endeav- ours to improve and eniarge our town bave not been fully known or appreciated by the general public. As in the case o! the Grand Union Supermarket and our newesf medical practitioner Dr. Ewerf, we exfend this paper's officiai welcome and sincere besf wishes to Mr. McTavish, bis family and his new enterprise. We hope they will be happy and prosperous here and thaf the high regard fhey now have for this com- munity will expand as they become even better acquainted in business and social circles. At long last the apple growers of Ontario have managed fo persuade the federal governmenf thaf fhey should be included in any plan o! assistance. This is a major achievement, because aver the y2ars the Onfario growers have neyer b2en able fa dip their hands info the fed- eral freasury. Instead, they have had fa sit back and sizzle while money was pour- ed info Nova Scotia and British Columbia, on the flimsy excuse that, really, there was no way o! providing help here because jf could not be dispensed fbrough a central organizafion. This week an announcement from the Canadian Horticultural Council states that' the federal governmenf wiil assisf the Council in a $25,000 promofionai progra. t0 help dispose o! the biggesf appie crop in the history o!

The Saivatian Army's friends are legion and we do render thanks to God for them - Indeed, they are aur greafesf asset. They serve because of an inner drive which permifs them no other course, "Permiffing thaf 'service urge' to have full sway broughf oufstanding success to the 1958 National Red Shield Appeal.

If is always a pleasure to pass along such sentiments fa those in this area who contributed to the Appeal fo the extent o! .Work is an economic necessity, and has been ever since the Garden of Eden, but it is also a psychoiogical necessity. Not to be occupied, and not to exist, amount to the same thing. Sir Alfred Roberts said at the Duke of Edinburgh's Study Confer- ence: "Work is an economic necessity, a social obligation, a basic human right, and a means of personal fulfilment". It is, indeed, only by the work of al hands that society survives. In the En- cyclical Letter of His Hoiiness Pope Pius XI distributed in 1931 he remarked: "Uni- versai experience teaches us that no nation £stablishod 1854 wth which le incorporoted r'h.

Over the years, if bas been aur con- tention that apple growers in Ont ario were missing the boat by nof seffing aside a, portion o! their refurn - like mosf other businesses - for advertising and market- ing. In this area, where appie growing is a fradifional occupation - and, inci- dentally, where the finest apples in the country are produced - we hope the resuif s of this first major effort at promotion will meet with unqualified success not only in disposing of surplus apples, but also in esfablishing that such a campagin would be helpful in increasing appie consump- fion among our people. We feel certain thaf statisfics would show thaf our per capifa eating of apples bas decreased dur- ing the pasf decade, a f!acf thaf, in the main, could be affributed f0 the self satis- faction of growers who have declined fa make sufficient effort ta sell their wares. The promofional campaign wili be awaited with great interest - and, no doubt, with greaf hope and anticipafed satisfaction by those in the indusfry who at the moment are having a mosf diff icult ti.me. ed great excitement, plenty of action and bealthy, keen compefition wbich bave thrilled the large audience o! spectators. Unquestionably, this will again hold true on Safurday, starting at 7:30 in the thxee Ail Star games. The slogan o! Minar Hockey Week is an apt one fo apply'- fo Young Canada Night:- "Don't Send-Take Your Boy to the Arena". We'il hope to see yau there. $4,255.24, about $100 over the quota. But, we feel there is one basic reason why cifizens who f ake part in few other church or community drives go ouf o! their way to give ta the Salvation Army. If is, in our opinion, because there is universal respect for those who serve with the Army, with litf le fhought o! personal com- fort, or financial gain. So long as The Army can continue fo atfracf capable men and women whose fundamental function is one o! service, no maffer wbat the sacri- fice, we feel fthe people o! ail religiaus faiths in Canada will continue f0 give their unqualified support in every way. The Salvation Army's religion Is simple and practical. If doesn't depend on great buildings, glamoraus surround- ings or highly enferfaining sermons to attract ifs supporters. If is a religion that bends down f0 pick up the fallen in the name o! the Lord, and gives them every chance ta again become worfhwhile Christian citizens. When people give fo The Army's work, if is in appreciaf ion o! the place if bas earned in society -the bard way. b as ever yet risen from want and poverty to a better and loffier station without the unremitfing foil of ail its citizens". The themes of f airy taies are made of work. The price who rescues the prin- cess; the courier who sorts ouf the tangled iskeins of silk or separates the colored grains of sand; the sage who deciphers a message on a wali; ail these worked for their reward. We cannot imagine a state withouf work, and if there were a place withouf work ifs people wouid be mosf unhappy. Our ancestors iived in a constant state of uncerfainty, whether in the next moment fhey would happen on a square meal or themselves be eafen. We of today are more iikely to suffer from the inertia of relative security - the nonchalance of boys who are sure of a dinner. Some of us have absorbed the idea that the goal of life is pleasure through eomfort. The man who seeks happiness through work-and where else is he to f ind it?- must accepf a new role. He is nof a minor or an invalid in a protecfed corner. He nmust decide what his attitude toward his work will be, what bis purposes are, and how sfrongly he desires the happiness he seeks.-The Royal Bank Letter. It is easier to be wise for others than ourselves.-La Rouchefoucald. A man and bis wife were both wrifin-n letters when the husband stopped and looked up with a worried look on his face.
