.........................- One of the fiest indications we have Seen that Bownianville business peopie are reai merchandisers, determined to keep customners in town, is the response they have given ta, the Festival of Values event. With verv few exceptions, they have ;~~Joined forces ta make titis shopping feature one of the greatest affairs this commun- z~: ity and district has seen in many years. Thase who did the planning and promo- 'tion are ta be cofmmended for their efforts which, without question, will produce excellent resuits. We couldn't help thinking on Mon- day night at council when Town Clerk Robert Reynolds was discussing the fin- ancing of some $200,000 in debentures that every citizen of this area owes a great -t. deai ta the merchants of Bowmanville. >,If we remember correctly, they pay more *taxes than ail the industry in the town; without them, every householder aver a wide area wouid be calied upon ta pay niuch higher taxes than they do at present. They are constantiy donating their f unds or merchandise. to every worthwhile cause that cornes along, and mast of thern spend a great deai of time and energy sup- porting churches, service clubs, lodges and ather good institutions in the district. They heip pay for new public and high ~ ~schoais, hospitals, roads, sewers and ather A facilities which make life better through- out the district. But, next weekend, Sept. 24, 25 and Next Thursday night, Sept. 24th, representatives from ail municipal councils within the Durham District High School S Area are expected ta gather here in an attempt to reach agreement on a touchy subject - the location of the required high sehool accommodation. It probabiy was quite fitting that Bawmanviile Council should be the anes j ta take the initiative in caliing this meet- ing, although we believe sorne of the criticism they levelied at the high schoal board was not warranted. It cannat be denied that the school board had present- ed majority proposais ta the municipalities which they refused ta accept in sufficient .'numbers ta achieve the required sanction. They had a perfect right ta abject ta the proposais. if they wished but the facts show that they, rot the board, are re- sponsible for the delay in building. That is why we agree entireiy with Bowmanvilie's Council that the solution must now originate with the munici- palitiçs. The Board has done its duty Speaking before the youthi at a father's day dimier the hmý.d of one of the big schools of the Unitedi States (and it can be applied to Canadians> had this ta say: To be a ctutred !ýent1"rnan, one does flot need to wenr clo'lir cit in the latest fashion, or to be able ta jiud,'e the vintage of a choice wine. fle does flot need to commrand a !ii-etv of Lk'ngtuage, or a superiar Inaniuer at a social gather- ing. Basicafly, he needs t. have a deep spirit of truism, an urge to aid his fellow- men, and especially thus to aid by his 26, they are flot asking folks. to patronize their stores and buy their merchandise because of these things. They invite you ta corne ta Bowmanvile ta share i special bargains, to buy your Christrnas gifts at low prices and take advantage of the wide selection of merchandise they have to offer. They want ta show you that here in Bowmanville you can do better, dollar for dollar, than you can in those city stores. They have issued this invitation, knowing from experience that they can provide for your needs in every line. If you are a bargain hunter, here is your chance. If you want ta keep your money in your own cornrunity where a portion of it will corne back ta you, directly or iiidirectly, this also is your golden oppor- tunity. Sa, we ask you ta accept their invita- tion at its face value. Give Bowmanviile merchants a chance ta prove what they can do for you during this special week- end. They guarantee satisfaction. If you like shopping here, corne again and make Bowrnanville your shopping home. Buy from thiose who help ta keep this com- munity progressing. You owe it ta yourself and your town. Those city stores and shopping centres don't contribute a thing ta help this area. Why should yau patronize them when you can do better right here? Give it a try, won't you, and if you aren't convinced that it is good business ta shop in Bowmanville, let os know and we'li do our best ta correct it. as far as it can go, but finds itself against a solidi brick wali. It can go no further without appearing ridiculous by present- ing proposai after proposai, each with not quite enough supporters or apponents. We suggest that the meeting of councils might weii commence in the morning or afternoon with private meet- ings ta start with and later an open ses- sion. Because of the urgency of the situa- tion, we would also suggest that the meet- ing continue on into the night and early morning, if necessary, ta bring about a negotiated peace. Cammunity feelings, local politics, stubbornness, jealousies, iured feelings and ail the other weaknesses which have been brought ta the surface throughout this controversy must be put aside at this tirne. The permeating thought which should rule this meeting is the necessity and urgency of providing school accom- modation so the secondlarv students of this area may rccix epi cper acadernic train ing. Custom Should Be Changed Much as we love and respect our lovely Queen we are fast reaching the conclusion that the soaner we do away with playing her anthem at ail and every public function the better it wiii be. For Y what worse situation can one imagine than a section of citizens standing at attention in one area whlle one or a group of others are searching for handbags, seats, or some other distracting business in another? And *the trend for ignorance of the. occasion is J' becoming more marked as years go by, says an editoriai in The Uxbridge Tirnes- Journal We have witnessed this distasteful procedure severai times recentiy. Once SIt was at aur awn local movie house when 90 ïr as soon as the picture ended a number of i.persans were trying ta hurry out before ~-\.the anthem came on. One would have thought the extra 80 seconds af standing S at attention meant life or death or miss- .~, ing the iast street car. There was a shuffling of feet, peering around should- ers, averted eyes and other ill-at-ease mannerisms. It gave us the feeling they vere almost ashamed ta be caught in a &pot where they didn't knaw what ta do. The second time was at the Canadian Na- tional Exhibition at the grandstand show. Everyone was standing for The Queen, among them several hundred white ciad sailors af several lands rigidly at atten- tion, when a couple shuffled up the entrance, took a few steps up, a few steps down, this way and that, peered and chatted ta each otlher while iooking about. We could almost feel he said "Why the - is everybody standing around. There's seats enough." We might have feit sorry for them under other circumstances but the occasion was irking ta a degree. This sort of thing happens all the time, and the two instances recorded are as one wave in the sea of the sarne., We would much rather see the anthem dropped for ail but the most seriaus gath- erings in order ta put an end ta the f arce naw in vogue. The Queen of Canada deserves the love and respect of everyone but sure as shooting she will neyer re- ceive it if it rnust corne immediately after a horror mnovie, before the entrance of a comic, or befoiýe a banquet gathering can ight up their first fag. depth and bread-Lh'of thoîîght and his SUI in irnparting his ideals ta those about hirn.

He needs ta be a forceful individual ta be heard amid the discordant clamor. Above ahl, he needs ta be one who will have the interest, the patience, the perse- verance ta attain a broad and deep grasp of the current scene in ail its camplicated ramifications, and ta pander thereon as the true basis for wisdom. This is an ideal which can be han- estly and emphatically held before aur gifted youth with the firrn conviction that it is worthy of aur steel, and that if they fully grasp it, they will then be inspired.

On the other hanýd, well known, well educated, cultur- ed, world travellers would re- turn home from a visit behind the Iron Curtain with glowig accounts of achievements in the land of vodka, troika, and ballalaika. Thus, it was, with great in- terest that we, with three hun- dred other Durharnites enjoyed Larry Henderson's account of what he observed in Russia, sa recently.
