4 Th. CanadianStatemmn mnvme, Feb. 1e, 1965 EDITORIAL COMMENT Officially Opens "White Cane Week"1 Forget the Past At the Bawmanville Chamber of Commerce annual dinner and election of afficers last week, we were impress- ed flot only by the large nuimber of business establishments represented, but also by the larger number who were ,not present with representatives. Over the vears there have been mnany Chambers of Commerce here who have been active fol' several v ears, then have deterioraled and vanished due to lack of support or possibly more because of misunderstanding and lack of positive direction. For some reason we have found manv business people whose attitude to the Chamber could be sumnmed up bv "What did "thev" ever do for us?" Others. flot business per- sonnel, appear to feel that a Chamber of Commerce is some sort of organiza- flan dedicated solcly ta the interesîs of retailers or factories, having no con- nection with the working man in plants. Here, in bbc pasî, there has also been an additional factor that did con- siderable harm and we refer to a not ton thinl 'v veile d antaganism betwecn some mPmber,, af town council and the Chamnber of Commerce. Franklv. we feed il is about time ahl the bickerings and incidents of the past are forgotten and laid 10 rest for- ever. There is everv reason to believe 'Yau certainlv have ta hand il la that aid political battler John Diefen- baker. He doesn't give up too easilv. He is the chosen lMaster of lbe Progresý- sive-Coaservatives party in Ottawa and nobody is going ta oust hinj until he is ready la retire of his own free will. Whetbcr vou like hlm ao think he is doing a good job or flot just doesn't malter at ail ta Right Honorable J. G. 'Dief the Chief.' Especialilv.y he is not going ta be ousted by a bunch of reb- els fram La Belle Province. In at, xve would nat be surpriscd in the least if he accnsed tbem of mnbinvý,. if such were passible. FranklvY, we think Leon Balcer and bis Quebec supporters in the Hanse were way ouI in their iming. They brought about. this crisis ouI of frustra- tion and they achicved pracîically nolh- ing,- except possibly ta alienale their province even more from the Conserva- tive parts' in the rest of Canada. Their chances of success were practicallv nil from the sîart, so now lbev have no place ta go except b si. as independ- ents in the Flouse of Commons. The major xeakness of their move in aur humble opinion was that there Wa nobody in the parby or outside who was obviously ready ta take on the leadership post if Diefenbaker had de- Last Wednesdav aflet-noon, the cammittee that bas been working for many months la r'earrange provincial electoral districts in Ontario tabled ils report in the Ontario Legislalure.

JAMES ELron-PUBLISatta 9 9 Pull Together that great good can corne to Bowman- ville through the combined, concent- trated efforts of an active Chamber of Commerce, working in close harmony with ahl other aspects of the local eco- nomny. Somnehow, the prejudices and hard feelings that have prevailed in former years must be set aside for the overall good of the community. If such a positive spirit can be in- troduced into the Chamber of Com- merce under its new executive and spread constructivelv ta town council, we feel quite certain that a situation that bas done considerable harm ta the town can be corrected. There is plenty of work ta be done for the general improvement of the town but if positive achievements are ta be registered there must be mutual trust and respect for the opinions of others. whether they be members of counceil, the Chamber of Commerce or the general citizenry. The lime is now ripe in aur opinion ta start on the road back ta harmonv within aur communibv, and we feëI cer-tain that the first stiep is for Court- cil and bbc Chamber of Commerce to get together ta find commoni grouind where eacb can be of assistance to the other in promoting the best interests of evervone wilhin and about Bowman- v ille. cidcd ta resiga in the face of the mount- ing flood of opposition. There are quite a number of potenlial candidates, N'es, but no anc name stands out as a per- son who could take on the job wîb anv better chance of snccess Ihan Dief- enbaker has had. One must. admit Ibat he bas certainly kept the govcrmnc on ils lacs during his period of opposi- tion, and, in fact, has had Ihemn off balance masî of the time. -Mmd von, the gavernmenî has also given him every assistance, involuntarilv. As il now resîs, manv Conserva- tives in Canada will be -pleased and proud that Diefenbaker dîd nol kunckle under ta the French Canadian wing of the party, who have been frustraîcd in their atempt la inflicî their' will on the rest of Canada. The Liberals can't gloat boa mucb or snicker about it. he- cause bhey boa are having considerable difficultv with some of their Quebec representatives accnsed of improper conduct.

When the folks started arriving, we wondered what was doing, then "figgered" that they had probably read something in this space, in the past, where I had pulled their collective legs, and they had decided to gang up, in a good natured way, to perpetrate some sort of relaliatory gag, but it wasn't that wav at aIl. They had learned that, March l5th \vas mvý retirement date Swhich meant that we would be vacat- ing this house, at Dur-ham Forest, and moving from the Pontypool area where we have resided since June, 1919. They didn't wvant us to leave without a mcm- enta of our stav among them, and took this very nice wav of saying "Sorrv to see you go; please accept these pres- iebcc ents to remind you, in future, that we ce-di- appreciated you as a neilghhour; good- c;en- bye, and good lucký." Exp Such thoughttul kindness aston- fte ished us, because xve had neyer con- M.sidered ourselves as an'y thing but small our- toads in the local puddle. We arrived Ot-in Ibis area, fortv six years ago, volun- tarily, and unnoticed, and had intend- ed to move to aur new location the same xvay, but the neighbours decided Sugar otherwise, and we appreciate their kindness. The event ended about. l:3Qr arn., but Butch. and 1 sat, like a couple of wide-eyed kids around a Christmias; tree. until afler 3 arn.. re-living the$ magic of the past few pre iqs0jhours.- We don't know what our Ffwman.. ville neighbours will be like,'but we sure hate to leave the ones on the "Ridge", whose generous hospitality has alwavs been a by-word throughout Durham Countv. When Winnie and I were married, our neighbours prescnted us with a set of dishes, of which, only the gravy boat remains. The folks who contributed te that present have ail gone frorn these parts, but some of their children. now mniddle aged, helped organize the affair of Januarv 291h, which liappened ta b. the ninetv sex'cnth birthday anniver- sary of Mrs. George White. in whose house the 1920 presentation tank place, and wbo is nom, in Bowmanville hos- pitl. We particularly appreciated the Opsitnik familv comi ng along because not long1 ago, they lost their house and belongings bv f ire, but didn't let it stop them from helping to make our "going- awa" evening more pleasant by their presence. Thaî'F whatI've always liked about the "Manvers Irish," their Rbility to roll with the punch, ta look adver- sitv rigbt in the eye, and help the other fel ow. At one time, most of the citizens in this neck of the woods were of Irish origin, but nom, thev are a mixed lot - Dutch, Jewish, Ukrainian, Hungarian, Italian, and others of Anglo, and non- Irisb origins, but it makes no difference; if thev sta.V here five 'e'ars afler ar- rival, lhey become typical "Manverq Irish" - quick to snap, and snarl at each other, but just as quick ta give a help- ing hand xvhere necded. and just q qîîick to resent "otsiders" abusing one of their number.
