JUNK DEALERS POULTRY and JUNK-A., Dillick, Duke-st., just opposite Canning Factory, pays highest cash prices for BOWMANVILLE, FEB. 9th., 1922. THE EDITOR TALKS We are ln receipt of a btter from a city booking bureau roquesting us to lot them know when wo are to have the next entortainment in Bowman- ville as they have several of the very best artists that tbey would iite to send here. The samne mail brought us the, Belleville Daîly Ontario con- tainung an article, headed "Develop Home Talent". With a siight change or two this article says it bas become a fad to send out of town for or- chestras for social functions. Or- ganizations vie with eacb other in seeking the most costby "jazz"y muai- clans, and the rivabry in this respect has gone on until it is reported that it cost one local organization $250 to furnish the music for a recent affair. Neodless to say, there is not much profit in functions of this kind._ Why should it ho necessary to ho so extravagant? There is musical talent ln our own to-wn enough of it to supply ail the or- chestras that are needed, if it could ho encouraged and developed. The kernel of the condition is con- taineti in the iast sentence. We have very e;çcelIent talent in Bow- manvilbe awaiting developnment and. we have the musicians here, too, who can direct such deveiopment ln the necessary vocal and instrumental linos. AIl that is required la for some persons to take the bead in bringing the local talent together. This samne article alieges that local musicians have not made the best use of the material at their dîsposal and have failed to consider the ad- visabiiity of coming together la an orchestral society that, would bring out the latent talent and prove to the community that local musicians are not afraid of outside competition. There is a splendid field open for such a body here, and the musician who can visualize the opportunity and take advantageý of it can proye of great service to this musical town and to citizens generaliy. 'In this connoction, too, the public achool board sbould again consider the ap- pointmont of a music teacher for the town achools, there being no doubt but that parents wiil hoartiy on- dorse the suggestion. We got a surprise the other day îvhen we read of the action of the members of Ontario County Coun- cil la memorializing' the Ontario De- partment: of Education to amend the Education Act so that the salaries of public achool teachers may ho re- duced. bore la the memorial: read il, carefully for it la a remarkable production: "That whereas taxa- tion la this country has become a burden, and this la largely caused by the excessive salaries paid to school teachers, and these higb salaries are unduly, encouraged hy the presont Pystem of goverament grants paid to achools on the basis of the amount of salaries,- and not on the basis of qualification and experience; ho it theref ore resolved that this Counicil refer the question to the Education Committeo with the view of having the Ontario Department of Educa- tion amend the Act", "Excessive salaries", forsootb! There are ubany persons whose salary should hb& re- duced. before the teacber's. As we obtainedà the foundation of our ,education in two schools in Ontario county and in April- 1867 was awarded our first certificate of quali- fication to teach scbooi by the On-, tario County Board we feel the actiorf of the reevos and deputy reevos- of that county rather.keenly as we have regarded Ontario as one of the ban- ner counties of this Province and con- sider tIis action unworthy of its representative mon. Considering what it costa to obtain the education to teach school and the ordiaary oxponses, personal and.pro- fessional, that every teacher must pay out, $1000 a- year la not too high salary for the average rural school teacher. Further, the good influence of the school teacher who lîves la the section, ilalher associa- tions with the young people and. la the homos cannot ho estimated la dollars, for hier, influence on the mouiding of habits and character is very strong-stronger, indeed, than that of any other person, not even excepting the mînister. Even' now there la a great scarcity, of capable scbool teachers and especialiy so of mon teachers who are not attracted by the prosent salaries. Ia our opinion, and we taught school for ton yoars, the public achool teacher of a rural school who is not worth a hua- dred dollars a month, foI' the ton One of the comuaionest complaints of infants is worms, and the most effective application for them la Mother.Graves' Worm Exterminator.

BIBLE CHRISTIAN CONFERENCE Members of the Annual Assembly of 1865. Through the kindnoss of Messrs. Alpha and William B. Pinch of this town we have, been shown a composite photograph of the members of the Bible Christian Conforence that met in Bowmanville in the moiith of June 1865-nearly 57 years ago, the im- print on the card reading: "Photo-1 graphed by Robert and Henry O'Hara, Bowmanville". This picture has a peculiar interest for us for the reason that we knew more or less un- timately most of the ministers and sotue of the laymen Who composed that conference, one of the most prominent of them being our "Father in Journalism", the Rev, Cephas Barker who was the editor of the Bible Christian Observer, the church paper of that denomination publish- ed at the Bible Christian Publishing House in Bowmanville in the present Horsey Block, 3 doors east of Hotel tBowman, now occupied by Brown & .Bennett. Mr. P. C. Trebilcock was 1the Foreman of the printing and pub- lishing departmnent and in 1878 whon we became proprietor and publisher of The Canadian Statesinan the paper xvas printed in that well equippedj printery there being no large news- _paper press in The Siatesmnan office. The house now known as Lorne Villa in which we have lived for 43 years was owned and the north dwelling occupied by Rev. C. Bar- ker. At that time Rev. Paul Rob- ins was the Book Steward, so that there were two Pauls 'and a Cephas on the staff. If we mistake not Mr. John Stacey and Mr. John Curtis now of the Methodist Church here learned the trade of printing in the Observer office as it was called for short. Mr. James Gale was another gra.duate of the office. But we have wandered away from the 1865 Bible Christian Conference. We shahl publish the namnes in the order in which they appear in the composite photograph. We may be in error when we say that the memn- bers of that Conference are ail dead except perhaps one. They were:« Rev. Cephas Barker, President; Rev. W. R. Roach, Secretary; Rev. Paul Robins, Book, Steward; John Chap- pie, T. Greene, Richard Huriey, J. Edwards, Joseph Hoidge, J. Van- stone, William Hooper, J. B. Tapp, John Williams, George ilazledino, G. Gioyne, Henry Renner, Jesse Whit- lock, Henry Ehbott, Jacob Gale, John Pinch, Thos. Clarke, R.

Shortridge, Wmi. Yeiland, Chas. Honev, H, Colwell. R. Davidson, Wil- liam L. Wickett, M. Minnear, Walter Avers, J. Ellicott, Robert Courtice. We presume this conference met in the building now occupied by Messrs. John-Holgate & Son, corner of Qucen and Division Streets, which was the Bible Christian Church. It may not be. known to many of our younger readers, that West Durham was dotted with Bible Christian Churchos. In Darling- ton there were Ebenezei~, Providence, Cardiphonia, Eidad, Hamplon, Tiay- don, Tyrono, Bethesda and Salem. It was in the year 1883 that the Methodist Church in Canada in its prosent form was constitutod by the union of the Bible Christian Church in Canada, the Methodist Episcopal Church in Canada and the Primitive Methodist Church in Canada. The total membership of the Unit- ed Church at the time of the Union was 169,803, and the membership iast June was 400,789. In 1883 there were 1633 ministors whîch in June last was increased to 2,536. At the present time there'are 3,745 churches and 4,753 preaching places. The Methodist population in Can- ada is upwards of 1,079,892 or about 15 -per cent of Canada's pomulation. FUN AN INDISPENSIBLE GIFT. The one who la endowed with the gift of humor should not undervalue is heritage. For there are few more useful accompishment than the abil- ity to make your associates laugh. There is a tonic power in aiaugh. A smiling face-invites good fortune. If one has the gift of humor, hoe bas no need to envy artists. If hoe can make the sorrowful forget their sor- rows, if hoe can heip the tired worker se beneficial and sure as complote relaxation between the covers with nothing to do but ont and sleop. A great many people who are now in their graves would ho alive and hanpry if they had net allowed them- qelves te ho victims of the mistaken idea that a cold amounts te littbe and can safely be ignored.
