A c. WithWhich Aren od tr ew With hcAr Incorporated The Bowmanville News, The Newcastle Independent, And The Orono News VOLUME 88 BOWMANVILLE, ONTARIO, THURSDAY, MAY 14th, 1942 NUMBER 20 Jon. 1. G. Gardiner Delivers AdIress at Canadian Club On "War and Agriculture". Federal Minister of Agricul- ture's Vivid Oratory E n - thralls Audience at Club's Annual Ladies' Night "If we ever have to endure a real assault upon the soil of Can- ada we niust expect it by the shortest possible routes and these, from bothOrientuand Occident, converge directly upon titis coun- try; upon Canada, a territory supremely desired by Axis over- lords," said Hon. James G. Gar- diner, P.C., B.A., LL.D., Minister of Agriculture and Member of Canada's War Council in the Cab- inet of Rt. Hon. Mackenzie King, Prime Minister of Canada. This observation was advanced by Mr. Gardiner during an hour's speech on "War and Agriculture" deliv- ered before the Bowmanville Men's Canadian Club at its an- nual Ladies' Night dinner inete Balmoral Hotel, Titursday even- ing, May 7th. Visualizing this as a "possi- bility" was but one of several higilihats of a powerful oration touching six separate phases of the present world war. These phases, in succession dealt with scenes of carnage over London; disparity of agriculturai produc- tion in Britain and Canada; de- fences of Britain; Canada's indus- trial policies; the aftermath of Pearl Harbor, and finally,.a broad conception of the strategic situa- tions at the moment, of both the Axis and the United Nations. Throughout it all, with charac- beristic aditerence to te main point,an art which bas lifted Mr. Gardiner to eminence as Canada's greatest debater, ran a connect- ing titread linking togetiter titese apparent divergencies eb a rea- soned exposition of Canada's gen- eral wartime policy. Ladies' Night The fact that Canada's Minister of Agriculture was to pay his first visit to this district plus Ladies' Night assured an atten- dance surpassing any former oc- casion. At 7 p.m. a chill rain was falling upon some 50 cars which had transported prosperously "de- pres ed" farmers with wives to hear distinguisihed speaker. One dun and twelve from town and country filled both dining rooms. T" speaker was late but, again characteristically, he kept his engagement. As he explained later, his duties kept him in the Hous'e tii 2.30 p.m., frornmwhence he left in his own car to arrive in Bowmanville just six hours later at the average of 37 m.p.h., well within the new speed law. President and Chairman W. H. Carruthers welcomed the guests and selectedPrIncipal L. W. Dip- pîL and Mrs. J. W. Jewell for proposal and responsive to the time honored toast, "The Ladies." Mr. Dippell, serious and quixotic, referred to Mother's Day and its origin; measured loday's "female of the species" by a formula which proved they "boil at no- tlring" and "freeze any old time." Then he turned to eloquent ap- preciation of the full and wide- spread efforts that women are making in the war effort. The men rose in full throated chorus, "They are 'Jolly Good Fellows." Mrs. Jewell exquisiteiy acknow- ledged the accolade on behalf of the ladies and recalled that "dur- ing the last war women won titeir righ-s; today notwa door is closed to them within the State; that, in- deed is a challenge." Pleasurable indeed was the privilege of being here to relax and listen to a "dis- tinquished and authoritative ora- tor" and, for the ladies she be- spoke a similar invitation for next year. Mr. Gardiner's Biography W. F. Rickard, M.P., in intro- ducing the guest, discarded his MS of some three pages and told lte simple story of an Ontario boy, James G. Gardiner, who had risen to eminence and prominence in Canada, both as an able poli- tician and an even more able ad- ministrator. Born nearExeter, Ont., in 1883, second son inta pioneer Scots family of six, lte Gardiners moved to Nebraska wiere for 5 years young James saw thedprairie frontier pushed backward by land hungry pion- eers. Returning to Ontario, young J. G. learned "grass-roots" farm- ing as a hired man, then accept- ing Horace Greeley's advice, he landed in Western Canada, aged 18, withoutteaving passed his En- trance exams.vHe set about to amend that deficiency and soon achieved in spare time a standing that permitted a teacher's permit (Continued on Page 7) ModernTrends in Education Discussed by Inspector McEwen f "It is sometirnes difficult to gauge trends in modern education; it isn't the business of schools to reform society; the school is an in- strument of society and is main- tained as such" were the opening remarks of Public School Inspec- tor T. R. i.cEwen in addressing the Rotary Club Friday. "Those who have the task of administer- ing primary education under the Department are constantly sub- jected to advice and pressure from individuals and organizations, re- commending this and that, such as teaching religion in schools, open- ing a curriculum on democracy, and various 'isms' that sometimes make us feel like throwing out our modern setup and getting back to the simple teaching of the 3 R's", was the way the speak- er estimated what officials have 10 put up witit. Ex-President Fred Hoar, pinch hitting for President Manse Com- stock asked Principal L. W. Dip- pell to introduce the speaker but said Lou, "he needs no introduc- tion for he is well known for his diligence and efficency in this district." The pupils coming up from public to high school prove that Inspector McEwen is a true teacher in every respect and "there has always been fine co- operation during his regime stated Mn. Dippeil. Mr. McEwen extended his teme 1 a show wryte will o!lte majority must prevail against lte insistent radical philosophies of the minority. He drew a parallel as of our own and Hitler's ideol- ogy and observed: "If we became limited 1o the narrow curriculum o! lte Nazis our Iask - would be simplified for the pattern is fixed and inflexible, while under our democratic setup there is room for constant change and improve- ment and that means much labor and constant pains in administra- tion ,. I limes we have to have an 'ek ind," said Mr. McEwen, "f the task of an Inspector to- dayI is never to give orders as ma!be in former days, but to listen, observe, and suggest". "The School Act", said the speaker, "gives an Inspector great author- i1ty which today he never uses; art now is to influence people -Tbehind the scenes, through Ser- vice Clubs, Boards of Education and Home and School Clubs, so that by indirect persuasion, mod- ern methods are introduced with least opposition." A most apt illustration was used in emphasizing the points de- veloped; for instance, consider the position of a rock in a stream as opposed to a root in the soil. The one is ankylosized, immovable, upon which opinions split and barnacles form at its base. On the other hand the living root ex- tends, enlarges, and sends up shoots from whence develop trees and trees in turn bear fruit. And as in the latter, our task today is to develop young minds to."come out" into full blossom and thus wreathe their influence upon so- ciety. Mr. McEwen dealt at some length with the School Area idea and explained why much time and education was needed among adults anchored to tradition to persuade them' of the benefits of the scheme. At present there were some 130 larger units in On- tario organized on the Area plan and not one would return to the old system, which is in itself an argument in its favor hard to re- fuIe. The speaker told of appearing before one Board where he tried to persuade it to buy $10 worth of needed text books at a cost of $5 and failed, only to be asked in a few weeks to recommend for the same Board an expenditure of $400 for a new woodshed, that was not needed whatsoever. That was the sort of thing teachers and officials were up against in many districts. The speaker referred, humor- ously, 10 a btook writlen by a U.S.A. author who sought7to show the moder ntrendof adolescence by summing up them knowledge in titree modern catcht-pitrases; 1. Nertz; 2. Baloney, and 3. Oh Yeait! But, that was overstraining the picture. Mr. McEwen said that it was easy for an Inspector to become very popular in his district but in- variably it worked to the detri- ment of his inspectorate. His at- titude should be concerned with the lines he had already indicat- ed; his task was to infuse the minds of both pupils and adults with the higher conceptions of citizenship; to walk unobtrusively among them and get on with the task in hand. Dave Morison moved a vote of thanks to a speaker who had, without notes, so effortlessly con- veyed a real message to the Club. One letter was read from Algie Harnden, overseas, thanking the Club for gifts sent and expressing high appreciation for the good old Bowmanville "rag" (but don't tell George I said it) which always is like a real letter from home. Visitors were Ed Bradley and Art Lovell of Oshawa Rotary Club; Air Forcemen Fred R. Keri and Al Downer of Hagersville and Brantford. And glad to be back looking tanned and fit, was Her- bert Layman who had spent the winter in Bradenton, Florida.

In 1941, 684,790 parcels were sent to prisoners-of-war at a cost of $1.7 million-not one parcel as far ps known was lost; 200,000 return acknowledgement cards were reebived. PLAN TO SEND 40,000 PARCELS EACH WEEK In 1942 the Canadian Society has beeh asked to send 40,000 parcels a week to prisoners-of-war at a cost of $3.5 millions. In ad- dition to this 40,000 parcels a week will be sent by the society at the expense of Great ßritiain, New Zealand and Australia. These boxes are uniform-filled by volunteer workers without cost-articles fur- nished at cost. The contents of each prisoner-of-war box is listed on the Women's Page. The 600 bed hospital constructed and furnished by the Canadian Red Cross at Taplow is one of the most modern and completely equipped hospitals in England. s SHIPWRECKED SAILORS GIVEN FREE OUTFIT Shipwrecked sailors landing in Canadian ports are furnished free with new dunnage bags filled with clothing and necessities of a new outfit. A monthly grant. of $10,000 is sent for-the same pur- pose to. British Navy League. 188,356 articles of clothing were given to sailors in 1941. Red Cross goods are transported free by all agencies including railway and ocean shipping. In 1941, 5,267 tons were shipped on 225 steamers. Total shipping losses of Red Cross supplies since be- ginning çf war are two and one half per cent. ADMINISTRATION COSTS ONLY 31-3 PER CENT The Red Cross is an auxiliary of the Department of National Defence and submits its statements to the auditor general of Can- ada. While its whole achievement is built on volunteer and free service it must have excellent and efficient administration at the top or it could not possibly function. The cost of administration amounts to 3 1-3 cents in every dollar. That is in itself a miracle when one remembers the almost limitless activities carried on. GIVE CANVASSERS COURTEOUS AND GENEROUS RECEPTION Local canvassers will give you an opportunity to do your bit to make all this help possible to others wio are not as fortunate as we and who suffer great hardships and face constant danger. Remem- ber these canvassers are also working for others and treat them kindly and generously. Bowmanville's share in this campaign is $9,- 000. We can make it if we dig in and dig deep. Remember that is the way they "carry on" in Malta. LOCAL RESERVE ARMY NEWS L ABy Buck Private 1•.

A mouth organ band of Sgt. Brum- mel, Cpl. Stacey and Pte. Wool- ley kept things moving most of the time. All the boys enjoyed the evening's work out. * * * L. W. Dippell, Principal of Bowmanville High school, is the latest recruit to the 2nd Midland Regt. but is far from being a re- cruit to the soldiering game.
