About 60 attended with the president, W. R. Pickell, in charge. Rev. Fred H. Joblin of St. Paul's United Church was guest speaker and was introduced to the gather- ing by Rev. H. C. Linsted. Mr. Joblin chose as his subject "The Relation of The Church and The State" and gave a very thought- provoking talk. The excellent at- tention accorded Mr. Joblin signi- fied the interest of the audience in his topic. A fine program, both before and after the speaker, added to the en- joyment of the evening. Walter Rundle led in a sing-song with the assistance of Leslie Collacott at the piano. Alex McGregor fav- oured with two vocal solos ac- companied by W. E. C. Workman, and Mr. Workman played two ex- cellent piano solos. A novel and interesting addi- tion to the program was supplied by Harry Stafford of Oshawa. Mr. Stafford spoke briefly of the life of Shakespeare and quoted freely from the works of that great writ- er to show how well he had in- terpreted the feelings and reac- tions of men, some of his inter- pretations being applicable to the world of to-day. To further il- lustrate the greatness of this Eng- lish writer he asked the assist- ance of Herbert Osborne, and to- gether they portrayed a scene from "Julius Caesar" in truly fine dramatic style, Mr. Stafford as Cassius, and Mr. Osborne as Brutus. At the close of the program Alex McGregor, chairman of the Local Navy League Committee, asked permission to speak on the work of the Navy League, and outlined briefly the tasks con- fronting the Bowmanville Com- mittee. Chairman Pickell com- mended the work being done by the Navy League, and asked the members what they wished to do regarding the matter. On motion of R. E. Osborne, seconded by George Annis, both of whom com- mented on the fine work being done by the Navy League for our >fi1trs, a second collection was t en. A further motion resulted in, the regular collection being turned over, and a sum of $23.60 was realized. The same was turned over to the Navy League for the woollen fund. Mr. Mc- Gregor expressed thanks on be- half of the Local Committee for the generosity of the members and their fine support. Rev. W. P. Rogers Tells Trinity Young People Of Atlantic Charter "If democracy is to survive it must be disciplined until it thinks clearly, acts judicially and exer- cises self control" said Rev. W. P. Rogers in an address to Trinity Young People's Union Monday Navy League evening. His address was based on "The Atlantic Charter". "The Atlantic Charter, so called ce- cause on August 14th, 1941, Prime Minister Churchill and President Roosevelt met somewhere on the Atlantic Ocean and planned a new world, built upon Four corner stones: The Four Freedoms an- nounced to Congress by President Roosevelt on January 6, 1941- Freedom of Speech, Freedom of Religion, Freedom from Fear and Freedom from Want" explained Mr. Rogers. "Another member of the war cabinet of seven, associated with Mr. Churchill is the Rt. Hon. Sir Stafford Cripps, who seems to have caught the vision of the Four Freedoms before either Mr. Churchill or Mr. Roosevelt. Sir Stafford was really placed in his present powerful and peculiar po- sition in the Coalition Govern- ment by 8 1-2 million labour votes cast in the last election. They put him in the Cabinet as the rep- resentative of their active will to victory and their desperate de- sire to build a new world based on the principles of th four essential human Freedoms. "It took half a century of struggle involving riots and even threatened revo- lution before all Englishmen won, in 1884, even the basic elemental right to vote. Women did not get the franchise until 1929," ex- plained the speaker. The first is Freedom of Speech -Freedom of Speech did not exist in England. On January 25, 1939, Sir Stafford Cripps was expelled from the Labour Party for issuing a memorandum in which he crit- icized the government for sac- rificing Czechoslovakia, for al- lowing Germany and Italy to dominate Spain and for not assist- ing China against Japan. Lord Beaverbrook was expelled from the Labour party for his an- nouncement in his Daily Express to the effect that "The labour party has blown out its brains". Later when pleading again for aid for China, Lord Beaverbrook con- cluded with "I beg of this Con- ference not to surrender the price- less principle of the right of free speech and free expression of opinion." 'The second is freedom of Re- li ion. Freedom of every person to worship God in his own way- everywhere in the world. The third is freedom from want, which, translated into world terms, means economic under- standings which will secure to every nation a healthy peacetime life for its inhabitants-every- where in the world. The fourth is freedom from fear, which, translated into world terms, means a worldwide reduc- tion of armaments to such a point and in such a thorough fashion that no nation will be in a posi- tion to commit an act of physical aggression against any neighbour -anywhere." The Christian Culture Conven- or Gwen Gilmer thanked Rev. BOARD'S NEW MEMBER =' - ' 'el j ' 71 Dr. J. C. Devitt The vacancy left in the Bow- manville Board of Education by the death of Dr. G. C. Bonnycastle, Bowmanville dentist, was filled Tuesday night with another den- tist. On motion by A. M. Hardy and W. L. Paterson, and with the unanimous approval of the board, Dr. J. C. Devitt was ap- pointed. Mr. Hardy spoee highly of Dr. Devitt's contribution to the welfare of the schools in the past and stated that he felt his appoint- ment would be highly beneficial to the board of education and to the schools of the town. Board of Education Honours Memory of Late Chas. H. Mason The Board of Education met Tuesday night in Central Public School with W. A. Edger presid- ing and L. W. Dippell acting as secretary.

The resignation of C. H. Mason as secretary - treasurer of the board, due to illness, dated March 18, was read by Mr. Dippell. Mr. Mason died March 27. The res- ignation was accepted on motion by W. L. Paterson and Alex Mc- Gregor. The motion also stipu- lated that a letter of appreciation for Mr. Mason's faithful service to the board be sent to Mrs. Mason. The report of Attendance Of- ficer Hall showed four visits to Central P u b 1 i c School, eight cases investigated and the issu- ance of one work permit. A letter from the town clerk stated that "School estimates as set by Council have been con- firmed by them and the tax rate bas been struck accordingly". On motion by A. M. Hardy and W. L.

An in- teresting period of music appre- ciation was conducted by the con- venor with vocal solos by Arline Northcutt and Doris Dudley and a piano solo by Ileen Balson. Farmer Figures it Takes 32 Hogs1 To Keep a Hired Man for a Year "The tendency today is away from individual ownership to some sort of social or state owner- ship," said M. H. Staples, Orono farmer, in attempting to interpret the handwriting on the wall for the Canadian farmer. Mr. Staples, one of Durham's most successful farmers and one who has made a study of scientifie farming, made this statement when addressing fellow members of the Bowman- ville Rotary Club Friday noon. Speaking of "farming as an op- portunity to make money", Mr. Staples analysed the operation of a 125-acre farm under competent management. The farm in ques- tion had 25 acres of bush and 100 acres of arable land. If the arable land had 10 acres pasture, 15 acres hay yielding $400, 10 acres corn and roots yield- ing $200, 10 acres fall wheat yield- ing $270, 20 acres barley yielding $420, 30 acres oats yielding $600, 5 acres cash crop yielding $200, he would have a gross income of $2,000. If the farmer fed live- stock and increased the value one- third to cover labour, he would have a gross income of $2,785 a year. On the other side of the ledger, Mr. Staples pointed out, the farm has an estimated investment of $8,000 in the land and buildings and interest on this investment at four per ent. would be $320; a carrying charge for depreciation on buildings at three per cent. would be $240; municipal taxes $125, and annual insurance $15, which would be $700. In addition machinery can be estimated at $1,000 and interest on this at five per cent. would be $50. Allowance for depreciation and replacement at 10 per cent. would be $100 and annual insur- ance likely $5, which totals $155. Assuming the farmer has 2,000 in- vested in livestock, this amount at four per cent. would be $80, and a farmer should have a reserve of $75 to protect himself against loss. Together with insurance of $10, it would mean $165 to cover the livestock. A farmer must pay for seed and allowing $40 for grass, $25 for fail whcat, $33 for oats, $15 for corn and roots, $32 for barley, and $15 for other seeds it would cost him $160. On the average farm fertil- izer must be used and five tons at $35 a ton would mean an outlay of S175. Threshing costs $50, hir- ing a corn binder (or paying for one by year) $15, silo filling an- other $20, and wages for man at $35 a month, and allowing $50 for extra help, another $670. The total cost of all this is $1,- 910, and it leaves a farmer $875 or about $70 a month to run the house, live, raise and educate a family. "Where is this leading?" asked the speaker. "The average farm- er is not going to keep children in school and educate them on $870 a year. It just cannot be done and at the same time main- tain the present standard of liv- ing." Speaking of personal experi- ence, Mr. Staples said: "Twenty years ago I bought a 100-acre farm. I found a 100-acre farm was not big enough to make a liv- ing on in the ordinary way. Con- sequently, I simply used the 100 acres as a basis of operation. I branched out into orchards. I know many others who have got along the same way." In moving a vote of thanks, Ro- tarian J. Forbes Heyland, Bow- manville farmer, pointed out that the plight of the f armer was even worse than Mr. Staples outlined it. He said the average cost of farm help now is $50 a month and adding board it comes to from $800 ta $1,000 a year. Figuring on $25 a hog it would take 32 hogs a year to pay for that man. It would take the profit from 500 hens. A man has ta have a lot af equip- ment to handle that many hogs or hens, Mr. Heyland said. Presbytery Y. P. Unions Bold -Meeting At Drooklin Young People representing the various Young People's Unions in the Oshawa Presbytery, registered for the annual spring convention at Brooklin United Church on April 10th. Newcastle Union opened the convention Saturday afternoon with an impressive worship ser- vice on the theme "Service" and "To live my best each day". Rev. P. L. Jull, on behalf of the Church Board and members of Brooklin Union, extended a wel- come to the delegates and wished for them the finest success and God's blessing on their work. President Hugh Miller present- ed the Missionary flag to Miss Reta Parish of Brooklin Union. This flag is given each year to the Union giving the largest sum, per member, to Missions and bas gone to Brooklin for the second year. An interesting period of Music Appreciation was ably led by Mrs. C. G. Park assisted by Mrs. Vernon Rowe of Whitby. Many new hymns and spirituals were introduced. Rev. C. G. Park of Whitby de- lighted the audience with his pre- sentation of "Kipling" Laureate of Empire. He traced the life of the well-known and beloved poet Rudyard Kipling from his birth in India to the height of his fame. His interpretations of "The Re- cessional", "Bill 'Awkins" and "Gunga Din" were well received. Fun and fellowship continued as the group adjourned to the Masonic Hall where group games were enjoyed under the capable leadership of Glenna Wilson, Con- venor of Recreation. The banquet was provided by the ladies of the church and Mr. Merle Thompson acted as chairman. Between courses, Mrs. Kenneth Halliday led in a sing-song. The speaker Rev. J. E. Griffith gave a timely address on the theme "In Which We Serve". He said that today young people have a grave responsibility against evil. The increase in drink is a menace and delinquency is a growing evil. "This" said Mr. Griffith "is God's hour and the Church must rise to its task". In the speaker's opinion, the Sermon on the Mount is a possibility. Man, born in the likeness and image of God, is a soul, with power of response to Him. His closing remarks told the story of a church in Madagascar where after Christianity was in- troduced a pagan queen came to the throne and had missionaries driven from the land. However, they left behind copies of the Scriptures which were studied secretly and when the queen died the Christian church had a sure foundation on that island. To-day the Christian religion is being lived under tremendous pressure, but we find strength in the work and it is worthwhile to meet the challenge of Christ our Divine Leader. A quiz on subjects submitted by the various convenors was led by Rev. W. C. Smith of Port Perry. Many interesting and helpful sug- gestions were made concerning worship, citizenship, culture and missions. The attendance banner was pre- sented to the Union with the largest delegation per member- ship in attendance. This was ac- cepted by Ross Allin of Newcastle Union. The president of Conference Young People's Union, Mr. R. Kitchen of Peterboro brought greetings from his district and Glen Hancock extended thanks to all who had helped make the con- vention a success. Rev. J. V. McNeely of Oshawa installed the new officers and Rev. P. L. Jull of Brooklin spoke words of encouragement to the 1943 officers. A beautiful candlelight service made a suitable closing for the session. This was conducted by Miss Doris Dudley and Miss Helen Pritchard, Bowmanville, with Mr. Lawrence Morton of Newcastle at the piano. The officers for the year are: Past Pres., Roy Orihiston; Pres., Hugh Miller; Vice Pres., Jean Battle; Sec., Marjorie Riley; Treas., Glen Hancock; Christian Fellowship convenor, Doris Dud- ley; Christian Missions convenor, Ila Barker and Edna Green; Christian Citizenship convenor, Helen Pritchard; Christian Cul- ture convenor, Mildred Snowden; Publications convenor, Allan El- licott; Recreation c o n v e n o r, G 1 e n n a Wilson; Convenor of Leadership Training, Roy Ormis- ton; Dramatics convenor, Frank McMullen; Advisory Committee, Carl Down, Merle Thompson, Murray Kirby, Elda Mountjoy, Olive Reesor, Albert Walker, Kitty Warburton and Stephen Saywell.

Bouquets of roses, pansies, daffodils and other spring flowers graced the living room and bore testimony to the respect in which this dear lady is held. "It was a great week-end," she told us. "Sunday was my wed- ding anniversary. I was a bride 66 years ago, you know. Monday was my birthday, and ninety years is a long time." In the din- ing room her golden canary sang and did his best to drown out all conversation. She showed us pictures of her birthplace in Devonshire, Eng- land, and told us of leaving there at the age of seven to come to Can- ada. "I have lived in Bowman- ville all my life except the couple years I spent in Brantford and in over 80 years here I have seen many changes," she said. "When I came here Bowmanville was no- thing but Front Street with a few houses." She handed us a picture of her only granddaughter, Miss Jean Pattinson, nurse-in-training, at the Woman's Collegè Hospital, Toron- to. She told us of her only son, Fred, who lives in town and of an only daughter, Miss Pattinson, a retired school teacher in Toronto. She showed us a picture of her brother, John Lyle, who will be 95 shortly. "I am the youngest girl and he is the youngest boy of a family of ten," she said. Her husband died three years ago. Then she showed us a sample of her work. It was a casing for a minesweeper's mitt and was crocheted of a heavy shrunken cord. "Since the war started I have crocheted over 400 pairs," she told us. "My daughter-in-law, Mrs. Fred Pattinson, makes the inside part of flannel and Grenfell cloth. "When I first started I received the cord in 10-pound bolts and I had to shrink it in salt water. Now it comes to me treated and it saves work. When we get a num- ber of pairs finished we send them to the Navy League in Toronto." Board will be the guest speaker at the Easter Thank-Offering meeting. Arrangements w e r e made for the annual spring supper meeting.
