James, owner- editor of The Canadian Statesman, of Bowmanville, Mr. James, who is well known, in this district, publishes onc of the better known Canadian weekly newspapers which has gained wide re- cognition for the excellence of its editorials and the brightness of its news columns. The Standard devotes four pages of its rotogravure section to pictures of 'I'he Statesman-office, its statt and the place it holds in the life of Bowman- ville." In all 16 pictures, taken by Louis Jacques, are used to illustrate a story by Jacqueline Sirois, Standard staff writer, Typical Weekly Newspaper Terming the Statesman a typical Canadian weekly newspaper, 'I'he Stan- dard shows Mr, James surrounded by the members of his statl; interviewing news sources; in the garden of his home with Mrs, James and relaxing on the bowling green with his friend, Rev, W. P. Rogers, retired United Church minister. It is brought out that The States- man has a circulation of 3,066 with 14 mail bags of copies of each issue go- ing to former residentg of the Bow- manville district. The Statesman has been operated by the James family for the past 70 years, having been taken over by Editor James' father 70 years ago. Now bY, Mr. James learned to set type by hand when 11 years of age. Mr. James is often to be found at the conventions of the Ontario- Que- bec Division of the Canadian Weekly Newspaper Association and the na- tional convention of the association. With Mrs. James he attended the na- tional convention in Halifax, recently. The news story published by The Standard in connection with the tri- bute to Mr. James is as follows: Used as an Example "George James ha often been called the William Allen White of Canada, a compliment he feels he doesn't de- serve. Yet his editorials are reprint- ed right across the Dominion and his weekly Canadian Statesman is used by national advertisers as an example to other rural weeklies. The happy position occupied by Bowmanville's newspaper is no accident, To see that his paper is as bright as he can make it George James scans more than 100 weeklies and nine dailies prior to each edition. He tries to have 20 feature stories on page one and avoids carrying stories over to an- other page. Behind the smart paper which Bowmanville citizens get each Thurs- day is a careful newspaper tradition. The Canadian Statesman was started in 18564 and George James' father took it over 70 years ago as a Liberal news- paper. M. A. James, irreverently "Mary Anne" by his contemporaries was a strict Methodist of the hell fire and brimstons variety and the paper reflected his views. George softened this atmosphere with frequent trips to New York where his married sisters were living, He was a natural athlete and once wanted to be a doctor but the pressure of the paper was too much for him. He spent two years with an advertising agency, a fact which has given him more than the usual amount or respect for advertisers, He is also on the advertising committee of the Canadian Weekly Newspaper As- sociation. "George James got as far as Eng- land during the last war, held the rank of captain and quartermaster of his battailon. When the senior James decided to retire, George and his brother took over the management of the paper. George tried to imitate ihs father's editorial style, finally gave it up and decided to be himself. When his brother ided in 1929, George was forced to come out into the open, attended funerals and made speeches. He says he doesn't like it but secretly he thinks his father might forgive him his few vices for the many glories he has brought ths family," -- tr S-------- 4000 POLISH WAR VETERANS COMING TO CANADA According to a statement issued by B. G. Sullivan, Ontario Regional Sup- erintendent of National Employment Service, many farmers in this Region will soon have the opportunity of ap- lying for sorely needed farm help rom among the four thousand Polish War Veterans who will arrive in this country during September and Octo- er. It is understood that the Polish Veterans, now in Italy, are being "gereened" by representatives of the Dominion Department of Labour as to their suitability for work on Canadian farms. Only single men are being interviewed, preferably with previous farm experience. In each case the applicant must be under 86 years. It is planned to properly equip each Polish Farm applicant with suitable work clothes, Placement will be made by the National Employment Officers and Departments of Agriculture, 700 of these Veterans will arrive in Ontario this month.

On the invitation of their Board of Directors 1 was one of the numer- ous spectators at this event. For a local agricultural fair they certainly have a very good one. While at the Fair I got a little bit ot its early history from one of the old timers. Pat Turner is, I be- lieve, a plumber by profession and has many years. remembered the first Port Perry Fair when he was a youngster. It was held sometime in the 80's, though Pat wasn't too sure of the year. Dick Woon, the Secretary, said the earliest record he could find, referred to a I'air in 1886. The big thing that' Pat remembered about his first Fair at Port Perry was that it was opened by Sir John A, Macdonald, 1 guess that's SAMUEL FARMER Editor and Publisher wondered more than once at the pat- ience of these officials. It might be a good idea sometime if they did get tough and throw out a few classes who failed to get there on time. -- SP The Need of To-Day | Address by Burnsel Webster before the Prospect United Church Sunday School | I am going to speak for a few minutes on Love and Responsibility; and try to point out how important it it for each one of us to acquire these been around Port Perry for a good fy virtues, that help so much to en- In fact he told me he sure a peaceful life I think our stan- dards of ideals of living are too low. In other words, the people of the world are not getting better; but rather worse, I say this for several reasons, We have had two great wars, and now people are even prophesying a third war, this one to be fought out in Can- ada. There are many more divorces quite a distinguished feature, too, Coming to the Fair to today, one of the biggest features is the Ontario County Black & White Day, which is held in conjunction with the Fair, It was at Port Perry Fair in 1938 that the first Black & White Show in On- tario was held. The man who was re- sponsible for this start in the Black & White Shows which are so popular now, was R. MM... or Bob Holtby as he was known to Holstein men throughout the Canada. Now these Black & White Shows are familiar in almost every part of Ontario, where Holsteins are at all numerous. The Holstein men at Port Perry though, are quite jealous of the reputation of their show as the first--and they hope the best of the local Black & White Shows. Certainly judging by the size and the quality of the entry they have a good chance of maintaining that reputation. In all 18 exhibitors had 141 animals there. The senior grandchampion for bulls went to Elm- croft Sylv-o Gram, owned by Elmecroft Farms. The junior championship for a male was taken by Otonabee Pabst Review, owned by O. Chambers, Wil- frid. The senior grandchampionship feniale was also taken by an Elmeroft Farm entry, while the junior cham- pionship female was shown by Hugh W. Ormiston. Roy Ormiston, the chap who has the difficult job of trying to replace Bob Holtby as Fieldman for the Holstein Association in that area, said it was definitely the largest and best quality show they had had to date. However, I mustn't let my enthu- sinsm for this Black & White Show leave the impression it made up the whole fair. This definitely was NOT the case. There was a small, but quality entry of shorthorn cattle. Then both the light and heavy horse classes were well represented, as were the sheep and swine. Indeed I would say that the quality of other classes of live stock was just as good, though the number was much smaller than the Holsteins. The baking exhibit cer- tainly looked good too, and I'm be- ginning to think that when a fellow's invited to such shows he should have the privilege of checking up on the judges in these classes. I know there were some cakes there I would have liked to have sampled. Another interesting class was the special handicrafts sponsored by the Travel and Publicity Bureau, with prizes for the best article made from local material for tourist souvenir trade. Exhibits included such things; as lamps, earrings, and other articles of female adornment made from prac- tically everything under the sun. Bits of local clay had been used as a base in some cases and everything from little shells to fish scales used for colouring. Over in front of the grand stand there were some good races of several kinds. As is the case at most fairs in the area the trotters were very much in evidence. Much ag the crowd seemed to enjoy these races, there were a couple of others they liked even better, I know I did. These were the pony races for the young- sters., In one class there were four little Shetland ponies ridden by youngsters about six or eight years-- thre2 boys and one girl. Two of the boys were done up in real cowboy suits, chaps and all, but the amusing part came when they tried to make these little ponies run all the way round the halfmile track. The young- stors were highly enthusiastic, but the poniés weren't, The first little lad to come in was John Leggett. The balkiest animal was ridden by the lit- tle girl, but she finally got him around that half mile. They didn't take the time on that race. Well, there 'are many other features at the Fair, but there are just two of which I would like to mention. Both of these have been common at avery Fair which I have attended. In the first place there are still some ex- hibitors making entried afternoon yes- terday, much to the disgust of the secretary. This seems to happen at avery fair and there really is no need for it, except lack of consideration on the part of the exhibitors who do this,' Then there was the lack tioh on the part of many exhibitors on, getting their live stock--and par- ticularly the horses into the ring when tha classes were called. Again this seams to be common at all fairs--and there's much less need for it in these days than in days gone by. Most Fairs, as was the case at Port Perry, have quite an adequate system of loud speakers set up and the exhibit- what class is coming next, and to be 'hold up the judges and directors by Interment at Hillside Cemetery, Utica. | ready. Nevertheless they continue to taking their own sweet time. I've of co-opera- accomplished, org are given plenty of warning as to Mrs. M. Orde and than we ever had before; and there is a tremendous amount 'of crime going on. Far too few people are attending Church and Sunday School these days. Juvenile delinquency is increasing, even after the actual war years, t What is the cause of all this: trouble? Directly or indirectly our troubles in the home, community and the country are caused by the lack of Love and Responsibility. We must have Love in order to have complete understanding. It is not that people! do not want to be good; but they do not want to accept Responsibility. Until we have Christian Love in our, hearts, and have a certain amount of | Responsibility for our neighbors, we shall not have perfect peace in the world. : What can each one of us do to raise the standard of living for a better life ? | The first thing we must do is to check up on ourselves quite often. | Perhaps there are things we are do- ing that should not be done; or per- haps there are duties that we should do that are not carried out. It is very necessary for us to train our- selves before we start to train our family. It is essential for children to: have confidence in their parents, We ought to have confidence in other peo- ple; but it is very dangerous for us to have too much confidence in our- selves, Another important reason why par- ents should train themselves in Love and Responsibility--they will create a good home environment. Children absorb very much from home environ-! ment. It is a necessity that parents should take their children to Church and Sunday School--not send them. Divorces and child delinquency are both caused through lack of Love and Respongibility. In each case it is the children who suffer, and the future generations, So you see how impor- tant it is that we cultivate this great Love. Whatever we do or say has a direct bearing on ourselves, on our home and community life. | Our government is making a mis- take by introducing cocktail lounges.' If parents indulge at these comfort- able lounges, or such like, it will have a telling effect on the home life. There are many matters that we can check on. 1 will mention one duty that is neglected--Grace before meals. | I think the Farm Forums sponsored by the Federation of Agriculture pro- motes the democratic way of living.' Neighbours get together and discuss | their problems. It has been said that the pathway to peace is the path be-' tween my house and my neighbour's. In some cases the path is overgrown, and we would have difficulty finding it in th dark. The sooner we realize the truth of this idea; and that in our short lives must depend on each one of us--the better it will be for all mankind, Mrs. Kate Aitken, of Radio Fame, Addressed Ladies of Port Perry. On Tuesday afternoon, under the auspices of the W. A. of the United Church, Port Perry, Mrs. Kate Aitken, of Toronto, gave an interesting ad- dress, telling of her investigation of health facilities in the various Pro- vinces, 4 An overall observation showed com- parative carelessness in these matters on the part of women of Canada.

AN APPEAL TO CITIZENS OF PORT PERRY During an inspection, with the Medical Officer of Health, of the ditches throughtout the town, with a view to correcting a lot of nuisance, vit has been found that some citizens have dumped their cuttings from lawns and garden refuse in the ditches. I am appealing to all citizens to co-operate in keeping the ditches clear, in order not to have clogged water courses, As we have garbage collection you could easily place your refuse in re- Sepiacies for the Collector to pick up. fany thanks for your co-operation.

The program of the meet- ing was "Publicity"; the motto for the month--"It pays to advertise" and the voll call was "snappy ads.". The Qc- tober meeting will be held at the home of Mrs. W. Archer and Miss Mor- lock will be guest speaker. Mrs. Stinson, Mr. C. Devitt and Mr. Henry Thompson were responsible for distribution of the new Ration Books in Cartwright. We are thankful for their free and voluntary service to this community. Mur. wird Mrs. W. Forder and Joyce, also Mr. and Mrs. Rusell Mountjoy, have returned from their trip to Western Canada. There are 68 pupils enrolled in the Continuation School here. This is the largest enrolment ever to have been made at this school. This is very gratifying to the staff and teachers. The teachers for this year are: Mr. Allin, principal; Mrs. Butler, Mr. Sutherland and Miss Moore. The Fall Fair, Sept. 4th was a huge success -- the best in years,, The weather was ideal and a big crowd turned out to see a splendid exhibit. The fowl supper put on by the ladies of the United Church was also very fine and was well patronized. There is on display in Mr. Saywell's dtore a potato weighing 2 Ibs, 2% oz., grown by Mr. Geo. Crawford, Sr. Several from here attended the an- niversary at Nestleton Presbyterian Church on Sunday. Mr. and Mrs. R. Wilson and their three children were guests of Mr. Har- rison, a week ago, and visited his three charges. Mr. Wilson, who is a teach- er and printer, in Angola, Africa, told of his work among the boys. Mrs. ilson, who is of Portuguese origin, Jt 1d_of her work as a teacher. The children told of their experiences with African children, Mr. and Mrs. Wil- son were friends of Mr. and Mrs. B. Harrison while they were in Africa as misgionaries. They are also well acquainted with Rev. Merle and Mrs. Ferguson and family, and told of Mr. and Mrs. Ferguson's splendid work in Angola. er eA PP ---- mm - DOWSONS OF PORT PERRY MAKE CLEAN SWEEPS IN TWO CLASSES (Times-Gazette) In the harness races at Oshawa Fair, there were three clean sweeps in the three classes. "Daisy Grattan F", easily the best horse to show, ran the mill twice in 2:16 flat, remarkable time for slow track. ' In the Free-for-All, young Ross Dowson, of Port Perry, 17 year old driver, guided his good father's good horse, 'Daisy Grattan F" to three straight wins. He won the first heat on his merits, and after gaining pole position, was much too good for his fisld. In the 3rd heat, "Sunny Boy" went in front on the backstretch of the first lap but the Port Perry horse showed clean heels in the last lap and won nicely. As the results show, "Sunny Boy" was the only real con- tender in the Free-for-All, finishing second twice and third in the last heat. In the 2:23 class, "Gloria Lee" own- ed and driven by Dave Dowson, of Port Perry, one of the most popular harness-racing men in the game, was an easy winner in each heat. Dowson wheeled his "Gloria" girl around nicely all the way and she earned her oats in grand style. "Vivien McKinney", owned by Mr. Blewett, of Peterboro, was second in each heat of this class. John Dowson, of Port Perry, acted as clerk of the Course, but Corb Stiner, vof Whitby, as Official Starter, was largely responsible for the successful conduction of the extended program of races. He kept the horsemen moving and made them obey instructions. "Ted Spenceley, of Toronto, and Phil Vincent, of Oshawa, were the judges while Dr. G. R. Booth, Oshawa, and W. J. Anderson, Port Perry, timekeepers. were the THIS ONE DIDN'T GET AWAY (Oshawa Daily Times) Our Operator XXX from Lake Scugog tips us off that Otis Hamilton, demon fisherman of the Union Rod & Gun Club, who resides at Port Perry, is going to mark Friday, the 18th, as his lucky day.
