PA pVouE D>rOELCOMMENT Receive WeII Merited Tributes There 1, something most gratifying anid heart-warming in attending banquets honoring local citizens for their service te their community. Dur- îig the past two weeks, Bowmanville has been marked by two such occasions, the fit honoring W. Ross Strike, Q.C., the new Chairman cf the Ontario Hydro Commission and the second paying tribute to Louis W. Dippell, retiring Principalof Bowm.anville High School after 32years of service. Both these gentlemen have served their fellow citizens well above and beyond the calcf duty and It was niost fitting that they sheuld be recognized for the contribution they have made to the town, sometimes at great personal sacrifice and in the face cf considerable opposition. ..As we listened te the addresses and studied the records of public service of th~e two men, we couldn't help thinking that Bowmanville has been rnest fortun- ate te have them as citizens. Sa many folks these days take ne interest in public affairs, being content to look after their homes, their families and their own personal convenience and enjoyment. Yet, if it were net for the few who are aware of their cemmunity responsibilities, and willing te spend tine and effort on such projects with- eut thought cf reward, our communities would be poor places Indeed. Picture Bowmanville if you will without such men and women, unable ta find people te serve on the varieus boards which are an integral part of the tewn and we feel you would agree that such a situa- tien would b. a most unhappy one. Se it is that we join with these who have organized these well-merited tnibutes te two cf the finest citizens any community ever* had. May they live long and enjoyable lives. They have indeed made Bowmanville a much better place in whlch tei liv. About 30 people had drapped mn for lunch and a city slicker, male, decided it would heip if he wasbed some dishes, éspecially forks, fer there was pie cern- ing. "Weil, this is samething,"' said anc lady. 'y.e been marrîed fer 44 years and my husband basn't washed a disb yet. "Once 1I eft him alone fer six days. When I got back 1 had four other women with me, who were travelling farther. I epened the kitchen door expecting te sce an awfui mess. But, ne sir, everything was neat and tidy. "He got home an heur or so after the visitons had left, and 1 thanked him for saving me ernbarrassment. He bad an odd look and then explained that it had taken him ail of baif an heur bef are work that morning te carry ail the dirty dishes dewn to the cellar.

United Statue THE CANADIAN STATESMAN, BOWMUANVILLE, ONTARIO Present Beautiful Citation Scroll Why We Are Boosting Mosport Park Some folks, stili quite sceptical, have been asking why we are doing our utmost te boost the district's newest developmeni, the racing car circuit cali- ed Mosport Park. They seem te feel that it is something of net too niuch importance reaiiy in the overaîl scheme ôf things locally, but we heartily disa- gree and se do many members of Bew- manvile's Chamber cf Commerce who are doing their utmost to make these part-time citizens feel welcome here. To us, Mosport Park is the greatest tourist attraction that bas ever corne te the area. Long termn wise its effect could b. compared with the impact the Shakespearean Festival had on the Stratford area. If we in Bowmanvilie can establish oui town as Mosport's home, the name Bowmanviile will be spread far and wide over this continent and internationally. This is, of course, a highly desirable result which could brlng new industry and a hest cf other advantages. Over the past few months it has been aur privilege te have fairly close association with the people who are bebind the Mospont pnoject. Even more recently we have beconie acquainted with the folks who follow the sport closeiy cither as spectators or drivers. We have found theni te be almost with- eut exception, bigbly intelligent persons, flot bot rodders in any sense of the word, but extnemely friendly types wbo love this sport writh a feeling ethers have for golf, curling, hockey or basket- bal. They derive great satisfaction from the dangerous competition, from tuning up their cars te maximum efficiency, and their enthusiasm reacb- es a higb peak wben their favorite driv- er is able te carry that checkered flag aneund the track te indicate a win. Mosport is a million dollar industry dropped in aur lap by a kind bit of good fortune. It wiil provide considerable employment for bundreds of persons and already bas given a great deal of work te district contractons. We, in Bowmanvilie, wouid be well advised te continue aur pregram of gradually becoming an essential part cf this tremendous affair. Dad WiII Be King for a Day Corne this Sunday (J une 18), father will reach the peak of bis ascendancy in countries whiich observe Fatber's Day. But In some parts of the wonld be will still be low man on the totem pole. On Palau Island in the South Seas, for instance, the ruling matniarchs can have any maie executed if be disturbs their contemplation. And near Sumatra, Dad has te live with bis wife's family, his children take their mother's name, and only daughters inhenit preperty. This state cf affairs was revealed recently by the curator of the Coutts Failmark Historical Collection, Diane Burnley, whe aise noted that in certain areas cf India, poor Dad is in even worse shape. "If he gees into debt, Mother can sell him te pay off the creditors," she said. "And in the African Sudan, Mom may return te ber parents after bearing five chiidren, leaving Papa te look after the kiddies." However, Miss Burnley conceded that father basn't always suffered. sucb rough treatment In Biblical times, it was censidered a crime punishable by death for a child te disagree with bis father. Tbroughout Nerthern Europe, a father feit disgraced if a son in his teens appeared publicly in bis presence, said the curater. Greek fathers even selected the wives for their sons - and ne back talk allowed. Probably the champion father cf ail time was King Solomon, she said. He bad 700 wives and 300 concubines. His castie rmust have been packed with yeungsters piaylng bide and seek. Unfortunately, ne record of their num- ber bas been found. However, we do know that had thene been Fatber's Day cards in bis day, Emperor Mulai Ismail of Morecco, who died in 1727, would have been buried under the avalanche., He had 548 sons and 340 daughters by bis wives and concubines. One of the earliest tributes te Dad to b. uncovered, is on a clay tablet written about 2,000 years bef are Christ by a Babylonian named Elmesu. It implores the gods te grant bis father good health and "enduring days." Altbough its roots go back tbrough the centuries, Father's Day as we observe it is only a little more than 50 years aid. Surprisingly enaugh, it was orngin- ated by a mother, Mrs. John Bruce Dodd, cf Spokane, Wash. In 1910, a year after the death of ber father, William Smart, a Civil War veteran, she petitioned the Spokane Ministerial Alliance te set aside the third Sunday of June each year for the henoning of fathers everywhere. The petition was accepted and with the memorial service that year, Father's Day was inaugurated. The observance quickly swept the U.S. and then Canada, and is now aise followed in znany areas of Latin and South America, . Haiti, Honduras, Sweden and even China. Se, fathers, let us prepare aurseives for the great event when we shall be King for a Day. et~w ~M - ~' ~ - ~ t ~ ~- -t - ------ c - Atte etmoilDinrfrrtiigPrnialL W i"'l n au- day eenin, on of euuulpesn in nlue hsCttinSrl i W. .
