nrzU R AqAaNSAtMA.BWAVLL.OTROTHJSAOT.1.,15 The trials and tribulations of lrying to i-un an organizalion that, apparentiy, bas flot been able to elicit slrong public support cuiminaled Ibis week in the temporary, we hope, suspension of opera- lions by Bowmanville Skating Club. The execulive afler sludying the situation came to the only conclusion feas- ible thal the financial obligations tbey would face - about $3,000 worlb of tbem - were too great this year for their resources to handle. Last year, il will be recalied that their main fund raising event, the carnival, was plagued by bad weather with the resuit Ibat the club ended ils year in tbe red and had 10 assess members and directors to0 cover the def icit. Unfortunately, the directors had already proceeded on advance plans this year that the club wouid be able to operate and had incurred considerable expense thal now proves to have been useless. In many ways bbe passing of Ibis club is tragic. It provided an organized and supervised recreational oullel for young girls tbroughout the winter and cerlainly was a gi-cal assel in this field. The boys have their hockey provided for them in the minor leagues by the Recreational De- parîment in cooperation with the ai-ena every Saturday. But, the girls bad only their indoor dancing classes aI the Lions Centre and were only able to use the ai-ena ice on skating nigbts or on other special scbool occasions. The fancy skat- ing instruction they received was certain- iy worthwhiie and beneficial. Now il bas gone - aI least for Ibis year. Many of those who have worked bard and long witb the club will be most disappoinled bo see il fold. The ai-ena bas laken on tbe Sunday afternoon skating group which wiil, in some measure, assist Now that the liquor vote is past history, not likely to become too active for at least another three years, we have sorne comments on the subject which we hope wili be read and, on which we would appreciate our readers' comments. These post plebiscite remarks have been brought on by several factors, flot the least of them being some rather point- (- ed remarks concerning our editorial Ssilion on this vote. In fact, we have ~~n berated directly and indirectly by Mâ & bers supporling both sides of Ibis ns for not taking a stand in their _________- ne of our relatives who, we 1uSy(> U RZ a staunch supporter of the -school even took the lime )prepare a framed message "Witnesses Ail" by Stuart gave us cause to reflect -oui- duty and position as an ecttorof weklynewspaper in a one paper town. Frankly, these votes placed us in a mosl unenviable position - f or several reasons. This newspaper throughout its 105 year history bas always done its utmost to support uplifting projects which would be of benefil 10 this community and ils citizens. Ils editorial efforts and news columns have featured the home, school and church as the main pillars in a civiliz- ed society. When the question of new liquor or beer outiets came before the previous editors of this paper, il was a foregone conclusion that they would attack with ail the vehemence and vigor they possessed to keep these instruments of the devil from reviling our fair community. With Ibis for a background the easiest course for us 10 follow wvas to tread in their footsteps and blasl those wbo had fostered Ibis plebiscite. However, af ter considering Ibis course of action we could not bring ourselves to adopt it, because il would have been sheer hypocrisy on our part. Due to oui- ex- periences in many lands and in almost every part of Ibis country we have found that definitions of sin in the form of alcoholie beverages vary so greatly around the world il is difficuit tb accept the standards we bave bei-e in Bowmanville as being perfect. Here, many of us seem bo have the idea that if we don't see il happening ail is welI with the world, while. at the saine time, our citizens can do as much drinking as they like, always provided thev keep il hidden from the public eye. It's a nice comfortable way of living, but to us il is much like burying your head in the sand. We bave seen respectable pubs in England, the beer gardens in Germany, the bars and cocktail lounges in the Unit- ed States and the wineries in Southern Italy. We also remember how Canadians reacted when in Europe they suddenly found freedom from their home restric- lions on the use of alcoholic beverages.

EDn-oI They were so immature, so innocent in the ways of Bacchus that tbey made complete fools of lbemselves while bbe local citizenry watcbed these wild barbarians and must have wondered wbat queer kind of country Canada was. These folks wbo had been brought up to respect f ine liquors, brandies, good beer and bbe rest would neyer think of allowing bhemselves ta become intoxicated. Having seen these countries where liquor, wine and beer have been ordinary, everyday beverages f or years and, in bbe main, are not abused, we could not in al conscience feel thal this town would go to0 pieces morally or spiritually if a cock- tail bar or dining lounge licence were granted bei-e. There would be a few wbo would abuse it, as indeed tbey do now cither in their homes or when they are away from home on conventions or. on visits to nearby cities - or even bei-e, illegally. But -in the main, oui- citizens would continue bo be uprigbt, church- going citizens wbo are good supporters of their families. Actually, we had considerable sym- patby witb the owners of The Flying Dutcbman and the Balmoral Hotel. Bolh witb large invesîments in propcrty bei-e 'were not competitive witb similar estab- lishments in other Parts of the province. Tbey were losing business 10 tbem because they couldn't legally serve their potential customers tbe drinks bbey demanded. Sucb a predicament is not a healthy position for any business and we do not criticize tbem in the leasl for attempting to correct il if possible. We were pleased that during Ibis vote tbey came out openly bo present Ibeir arguments before the electorate. On the other band, of course, the citizens of Bowmanville were certainly under no definite obligation to grant bhem Ibis priv- ilege if they didn't see f it to do so. Botb proprietors knew the local dry situation wben tbey came bei-e to set up business and either gambled that the town would go wet or erred in believing there was suffîcient business bei-e without serving liquor or beer. So, wby didn't we support the webs? Possibly it was because in spite of Ihat background mentioned above, the taboos înstilled i us aI an early age and lonig since discarded on the surface, refused ta allow sucb a departure. Or il may have been because lurking back tbere some- where was the tbougbt that we might be contribuling to someone 's downfall. We don't know. Ib may have been that we couldn'l bring ourselves to write somne- bhing that oui- predecessors in Ibis editorial chair would have condemned Ici the depths. Whatever il waý, tbe words wouldn't come. And that, friends, sums up oui- post election thoughts on the lîquor vote and explains why we didn'b "bear witness" and take sides during tbe campaign.

Pepler, M.B.E., M.C., appearcd ini a Toronto pa- per, and I wondered if he was the same Pepler who was a Lieutenant in my aid unit, the Ninetecnth Battahion. Afteci the First World War became static, by the soldiers of bath sides settling mb t- en- ches, a sort of '¶don't shoot, and we won't" kînd of feeling seeni- cd to, pervade tbe "'lines," al- though bath sides kept a wary eye on the opposition in case of any sudden show of hostiliby. Sornetimies a Canadian unit would relieve a British unit, and be told that the sector was real "cusby". Regardlcss af the British viewpoint the place would seem bo become quite ac- tive soon after the Canadians arrîved, probably, because the "Canucks" had devcloped a "yen" for needling poor aid Heinie with quick raids, much like a skillful boxer jabbing, then moving quickhy out ai range. The Germans were slaves to, routine, so you can bet that, oui- unorthodox methods kept them ai! balance and quite pee- vlsh. The raids were for pur- poses of annoying oui- friend, the enemy, and to, gather infor- mation about his prospective luture activities; they were carried ouI during the hours of darkness. But, on July 26th, 1916, we decided ta surprise hlm with the first daylight bambing raid ever attempted on the Western Front. "Cockc- ney" Bill Smith summed up tbc enemy's reaction thus- "Blimeyl 'e wasn't ai-f waxy; proper upset 'e were; gaI real nawsty; you'd think 'e wauld enjoy a bloke, livin' so close. callin on 'im for a bit ai a lark; maybe 'e did'n't like us bashin' 'im abaht a bit." The raid was carried out by a picked crew, armed with hand grenades, and ather implements of war, and commanded by two officers, Capt. Kilmer and Lieut. Pepler, bath af whom became bndly wounded, Capt. Kilmer losing a leg, and Lieut. Pepler picking up forty-nine wounds. As neither officer was able to return ta aur trench by his own efforts, a couple of Pri- vates rescued themn from No Man's Land, and the possibil- ily of capture, or death. Each of the rescuers received a D. C.M., and the Montenegrin Sul- ver Medal for their bravery. Capt. Kilmer's leg was badly shattered, and almost sevcred.

To the Citizens of Bowrnanvîlle and District,. but there wiil be no professional instruc- lion in skating and no carnival Ibis year. For some reason, tbis community's sport and recreation minded cilizens seem bo be changing int home loyers or tele.- vision viewers. We bave no inlermediate hockey team Ibis year because public sup- port was iacking. There was no intermed- iate bail club here Ibis summer for the same reason and ail of our minor basebali clubs bave been baving difficulties meet- ing their comparatively small obligations. This weekend, thc juvenile basebail club wiil play ils second game of the Ontario finals, and if crowds don't improve, there may not be enougb on hand to pay ex- penses. Somebow, we seem to be losing inleresl in atlending sports events and we doubt if il is a good tbing. Witbin a few weeks, a new junior hockey leam wiil get underway in the arena. Wc hope that Iheir efforts will awaken us from our lelhargy, gel us out into the cool winter weatber and away from those television sets, so this club wîll be successful. Oth- erwise, the arena will have to confine ils efforts to public skating and local town mercantile and rural leagues wilh the players paying their own expenses which are quite heavy. To return bo the Skating Club, we are indeed sorry to find that il won't be operaling and knoW that the parents of many young girls especially will regret il also. AI the moment, however, we do urge local citizens to buy as many tickets as possible on the draw they are conduct- ing in an effort to raise sufficient funds 10 pay off their current obligations. Once Ibat bas been done, the executive may feel that they will be able to arouse enough support 10 warrant planning for a restoration of the club next year. Once more the Bowmztnville Branch of the Canadian. Red Cross Society need your sup- port. On the 4th November we are holding our first ':*Blood Donors' Clinie at the .Lions' Community Centre. You must agree that the success ol' this project depends upon the sup- port of the Citizens of Bourman- ville and District. It must be emphasized: that the sole supplier of blood. is the Canadian. Red Cross-Fvee of Charge-the only stipuleit ion is that the people must tlonate the blood, because blocd cari- not be manufactured. We must realize that the blood du)nated at our dlinie will flot nec:essar- ily be uaed in Bowmanvillie and District, owing to the fac t that blood cannot be stored for more than three weeks, but wli en at any time of the day or night, blood is needed in Bo-iman- ville and District, il is iixinedi- ately available. After the maximum t.ime of whole blood storage has expir- ed, that is blood for Iti.-ansfu- sions, it is not wasted, lyat bro- ken down into valuabje pro- ducts whieh are supp]ied. ta the hospitals free of charge. The quantitv of blood! need- ed per day is tremrendo us, for instance, 260 donatio;a s are needed per day in Toroîi to, and 4,000 are needed every week in Ontario. With these tbvo ex- amples you can readily realize why we have to make a, succeas of our contributions to the Blood Bank. The most common questions asked by people are:- 1{ow was blood obtaimed be- fore this Red Cross Service? By the patient paying appra ximate- ly $25 for each transfu sion or frantically appealing te friends or the public for donors to re- place two pînts of b.Iood for every one used. Why should I be a, Donor? Nothing you'll ever do,, no time you'll ever spend can ;be more richly rewarding than' the few minutes you'll spend lIn giving blood.

Pepler recovcy.ed from his miany wounds, and. *we ýheard on the battalion "igi-apevine" that, he had gone tE> Russia, with a Canadian force, to, figlht against the revolutionil3ts. Il ahl happened a long time ago, but the memory of it was awaken- cd by Lt. Col. Pepler's death notice recently; perhal;s he was not the chap 1 once Içnew. After the above epià. ;ode, day- light raids became qjite com- mon, and about two years la- ter, June 2lst, 1918, lur Batta- lion pulled off a dayltight raid, in which Major M iller was badly wounded, near iihe enerny trench. A cook from "C" Com- pany, named Bill Pa cey, quite nonchalantly, hopped out of the trench, strolled across No Man's Land, in briglit suni ;hine, and lugged the Major back to our own trench. Ta1k about being -brave, Bill wasn't wearing helmet, gas mask, rifle, bayone t, or any kind of amimuziitirin, just a greasy old shirt, pal[r of slacks, socks and boots, aré I even his boots weren't laced. and tied. He was decorated with the Military Medal, biff. deserved the Victoria Cross. Major MiVLler was given a blood transfusion, b ut died of bis wounds. The cha!p who don- ated the blood, "P4>icky' Robin- son, was given oaiýe hundred francs, and a few days' leave in Paris. Most of us young bucks would have given =i armn for a L~ave to, Paris, wib a demnois- elle. Oui! Oui!1 Skaters Face Problems Last week, we published a photo of a large hawk which had been shot down near Jack Brown's boat at Brighton Bay. Later, we received a phone cail from, Miss Betty Henry, R. R. 2, Bowmanville, xvno is a mcmn- ber of the Oshawa Naturalist Club. She was pleased to learn that Mr. Brown did not shoot the hawk. Somne, hunters on shore apparently were guilty of that offence.
