Miller Is Speaker at H. & S. Club The Gym at the Public School was arrayed with Christmas dec- orations for the regular meeting of the Home and School Club, Dec. 12. With a Christmas tree beside the chairman's table and a three-tier Christmas cake made by Mrs. V. Jeffrey and ber group, President Mrs. Selby Grant op- ened proceedings with compli- ments to those who had created this holiday setting. The occasion was one of great interest for it marked the first visit to the club of Dr. G. W. Mil- ler, Director of Health for the new Counties Health Unit. Dr. Miller spoke on the broad aspects of health education and preven- tive medicime. The program was in charge of Mrs. Jeffery and entertainment embraced Christmas carols dir- ected by Mr. W. E. C. Workman with Miss L. L. Bragg at the piano. Misses Pat Mason, Marie Nickerson and Gwen Patfield pre- sented piano numbers. Four of Mr. Slute's guitar pupils played Christmas music. The program was much enjoyed. The mothers' attendance prize was won by Principal Thompson's room. A special collection of $12 was taken for the Children's Aid Society, in placof exchange of gifts. Lunch was served includ- ing a Christmas cake. Miss Lena Taylor, Reg.N., in- troduced the guest speaker. Dr. Miller briefly outlined the functions of health units gener- ally and paid tributetothe high calibre of public health work done by the medical officers of healthaduring the war years. Can- *ada had been notably free from epidemics and could show as low death rates as other countries with the same standard of living. It is apparent throughout the world generally stated Dr. Miller that people are becoming more health conscious and are showing a deep public interest in this na- tional problem. This awakening is long overdue and Dr. Miller quoted some statistics to indicate that the state of our national health was not as good as it could be. He stated that there was a certain amount of compla- cency amongst the public over -vaccination against smallpox. Dur- ing the years 1936-1938 there were approximately 34,000 cases f ismallpox in the U.S.A. and this reservoir of infection still remained a very real threat to Canadians. He urged 100 per cent vaccination and re-vaccina- tion amongst children and adults Dr. J. N. Hutchison .Native of Durham Dies at Age of 86 Dr. James Nelson Hutchison, 86, a member of the council of the University of Manitoba and life member of the Winnipeg Medical Society, died Dec. 14 at his resi- dence 171 Yale Ave., Winnipe4, Man. Born in Leskard, Durham County, Ont., Oct. 1, 1859, Dr. Hutchison was the son f Robert and Elisabeth Hutchison. He taught school near Bowmanville, later attending the Canada Bus- iness College in Chatham, Ont., where he was a gold medal grad- uate. In 1884 he went to Winni- peg, becoming associated with the firm of David Maxwell and Sons, manufacturers of agricultural im- plements. He remained with them for several years and upon their removal from Winnipeg entered the Manitoba Medical College where he spent the first two years of his course, winning the schol- arship of his clasp. He then trans- ferred to the Toronto University, finally graduating from both Trin- ity and Toronto Universities, which at that time were separate institutions. Following his grad- uation, Dr. Hutchison started a practice at Richmond Hill con- tinuing this for three years. He then took a post-graduate course at New York City, refurning to Winnipeg in 1899. He has resid- ed there since then except for a period of several months in 1911, which was spent in post-graduate work in Europe. Dr. Hutchison was elected by the medical profession in Winni- peg as a member of the provincial medical executive of the College of Physicians and Surgeons, serv- ing in that capacity for several years. In 1941, at the final meet- ing of the Winnipeg Medical So- ciety, Dr. Hutchison was present- ed with an engraved certificate of life membership in the society. For ten years he was the attend- ant medical superintendent of the Agricultural College before its amalgamation with the university. He was actively interested in the social welfare of Winnipeg, for several years being treasurer of the Winnipeg Relief Society. He was a director of the Y.M. C.A. and chairman of its board for several years. In 1889 Dr. Hutch- ison was a delegate to the Inter- national Y.M.C.A. convention at Philadelphia. He was also an active member of Grace church for many years. Dr. Hutchison was a member of Northern Light Lodge of Masons, and also took a deep interest in the temperance movement in Winnipeg. He is survived by his widow, INVESTED BY KING Major Wally Braden, D.S.O. At a ceremony at Buckngham Palace held on 1lth of December, Major J. W. "Wally" Braden was invested with the Distinguished Service Order by His Majesty the King. in this community. After discussing many aspects of preventive medicine including the early diagnosis of cancer, Dr. Miller indicated that the Health Unit now being inaugurated in Durham and Northumberland was vitally interested in any move- ment within the social structure of the community which would prevent disease, improve the stan- dard of healthful living and de- velop a healtb consciousness.

Zurbrigg (Mabel), Stratford, and Miss Hanah, Mitchell. The funeral service was held Sunday, Dec. 16, in Gardiner's fu- neral chapel with Rev. Harold Frame and Dr. George Woodside conducting the service. Burial was at London, Ont., on Dec. 19. Dr. Hutchison was a great friend of the editor of The States- man and for many years, indeed right to the last they correspond- ed on current events and review- ed old times and old friends. It is hoped later to publish some of his last letters. At his home he gathered around him many Dur- ham County boys and girls living in Winnipeg, who reveled in his conversations and his vigorous views. He was a lifelong Liberal yet criticized the leaders when occa- sion demanded. A strong tem- perance man he sought always to promote measures for the ad- vancementmofsociety in general. Frank Haneock, formerly of Eb- enezer, sat with him shortly be- fore he died, when his philosophy was expressed in these words: "I took out an insurance policy with the Almighty years ago and I have been trying to keep up the prem- iums ever since, so I know the Lord will look after me." The Christian principles which he acquired when he taught Sun- day School at Enniskillen, shaped his course in life as a strong, vig- orous, kindly gentleman who made his mark and will long be remembered by the people of Winnipeg and all with whom he came in cohtact. Resuit of Voting On Liquor By-Law Stands 321 Majority for Drys The total vote on the Liquor By-lawdaken under authority of the provincial government, Dec. 19, in the Town of Bowmanville, numbered 1,939. Of these there were 29 spoiled ballots, leaving a valid vote of 1910. The result, for and against, is shown in detail below embracing the 9 polling sub-divisions. Qualification for voting was based on the lists used at the Provincial election, with anyone 21 years and over eligible to cast a ballot. This broadened the scope beyond the ordinary mun- icipal lists. The average vote at municipal elections has oeen around 2,000 so the vote on the by-law fell considerably short, considering the widened fran- chise. In order to carry the measure a three-fifths clause was opera- tive. The wets needed, therefore, a minimum of 1,163 votes or three- fifths of 1,939, to win the contest. To defeat the bill the drys re- quired a minimum of 776. They got 1,097 valid votes, or a net majority of 321. The majority in- dicated in last week's Statesman was based on three-fifths of 1,910.

These men are Major J. W. Brad- en, D.S.O., Cpl. Tom H. Carter, Gnr. L. G. Connors, Pte. R. Gra- ham, Pte. J. C. Lyle, Lt. Kenneth McQuarrie, FO. R. W. Stocker, Pilot Officer H. G. K. Tennant, Capt. Charles Spencer, all of Bowmanville; Pte. W. B. Mercer, Orono and Sgt. L. G. McMahon, Millbrook. It is not known what time these men will arrive in Bowmanville but it is believed that the ma- jority will arrive on the 29th or the 30th. Most of these men, five out of the ten, will likely go to Cornwall with the Stormont, Dundasland Glengarry Highland- ers for the civic reception being held there after which they will travel to their respective homes. Pte. Alan T. Lymer arrived home last week. In expressing the usual and gen- uine "Welcome Home," The Statesman joins in the regrets that these soldiers were unable to join their families for Christmas festivities but they will assuredly be accorded a special New Year's dinner and the handshakes of all their friends. Christmas Message to Rotary Delivered by Rev. 1. Griffith With enthusiasm and happiness occasioned by the approach of Christmas, Rotarians met Friday noon at the SOE Hall for the us- ual Carter catering, for minor it- ems of business and to hear the annual Christmas message which was delivered by Rotarian Rev. J. E. Griffith. Members again join- ed in seasonal carols, led by Bert Virgin. President Cy Slemon, in- stead of mailing usual Christmas cards, presented to each member an embossed scoll on which was inscribed a "Four Way Test" emt bracing Rotary principles. Introduced by Charles Carter, Sr., Rev. Griffith expressed plea- sure over the terms in which the invitation to speak was extended to him. Speaking on the text "Who shall abide the day of His coming," the speaker introduced the thought that like the concept of the "refiner's fire" we, today, can recapture the lessons presen- ted in the life of the Saviour, again to bring Peace on Earth and Goodwill to Men. Telling of the lift in spirit al- ways occasioned by hearing Han- del's Messiah, the speaker also re- ferred to the Christmas symbols of the season such as the incense and fire, the tree and gifts, the carol singing and the bells as in- ducements to the mood of Christ- mas itself, with the abiding motif of quiet and Peace. It was a season in which we can foregather around unharmed hearths, quietly to contemplate the ghostly formsstaring at us fromn ravagjed Europe, and from the courage and strength that is our eritagehfrom the Princetof Peace, to bighly resolve that henceforth we shall unite in a un- iversal brotherhood. For today there appears one universal urge, the "Hunger for Peace." It should be our resolve to util- ize the searchings of science, the wisdom of statesmen, the hand of everyone, in finding a way out in this atomic era; that a new world sovereignty must replace former isolationism. It was pointed out that the concerted thought of churches of all denominations, lately expressed, was that the age of Imperialism was at an end and the sovereignty of Christ must prevail. Mr. Griffith related his re- marks to the spirit of Rotary in bringing his message directly to the members. He closed with the thougbt that humanity was never more ready than now to ac- cept the refining process present- ed in his text and that there was hope and possibility in our life- time to create a world of Peace and Goodwill. Mel Staples moved, very elo- quently, the vote of thanks. Vis- itors included Rev. H. C. Lin- stead, Ebenezer Circuit, and Cpi. Ron Richards, lately returned from Italy and the Western Front, who spoke with deep thanks for the parcels and letters received by Memorial Park Gifts Now Total $3,023.57 The following additional dona- tions are reported as a result of the drive for funds which was made throughout the business sec- tion.

Al- derman Tim Garton is supervis- ing the work of having a water line put in from the street so that town pressure may be used in order to flood the rink. This work will more than likely be completed within the next week and there should be a good sheet of ice for Christmas holiday skat- ing. Regulation hockey nets have been ordered and the rink is of regulation size and therefore the hockey players will have the ad- vantage of practising on a rink which is regulation size and should feel quite at home on any outside ice surface when they come to play with opposing teams. It is also planned to flood the portion of the Park immed- iately east of the rink in order thateadults and children may have a skating surface of their own and thus not interfere with hockey playing. the boys on active service. Winners of the Club turkey draw were Jack Griffith, Blane Elliott and Dr. Howard Rundle. Wes Cawker explained when dis- tributing the prizes that since turkeys were in short supply, it was necessary to substitute chick-1 ens. Christmas Festivities in Church, School and St. Paul's SLS.

Thompson and the teachers at the Central and South Ward Public Schools pre- pared no formal program for their pupils prior to the Christmas hol- iday, other than to provide a Christmas tree for each room. By arrangements with the Board of Education, each tree was provid- ed with an orange for each pupil and for a number of small guests who came for the occasion. Teachers in charge of each room conducted programs to meet the wishes of their charges, which in- cluded singing carols and telling Christmas stories. Principal Thompson paid informal visits to the various rooms and when the time came for dismissal the youngsters marched out, peeling oranges and looking forward to the trees at home. Many were found at the outdoor rink now being prepared for skating and hockey when school reassembles. Santa Claus Paid Visit To Trinity Sunday School Concert Friday evening was a gala night for the children of Trinity Sunday school when Santa Claus paid his annual visit. The con- cert, held in the Sunday school room, was presided over by Ross Strike, Superintendent of the School. Christmas carols sung by young and old started off the evening's entertainment. Ross Metcalfe favoured the pupils with humorous selection of songs, fol- lowed by the showing of moving pictures. The big attraction of the even- ing was the arrival of Santa Claus who had a little difficulty getting down from the second storey to the main auditorium but when he finally made it he talked to the children for a few minutes then gave them all an orange. For many of the children it was the first time they had seen Santa Claus and the excitement was at a peak. Mr. W. E. C. Workman supplied the music for the festive occasion. Bowmanville Foundry Hold Christmas,Party Bowmanville Foundry held its annual Christmas party for their employees at their plant Friday afternoon. The program started off with the entire staff singing a large selection of Christmas car- ols, followed by the main enter- tainment, a variety show put on by a group of professional enter- tainers from Oshawa. The plant Christmas tree was one of the highlights of the af- ternoon activities when President C. E. Rheder and Wally Evans, Bowmanville and J. A. Rumgay, Toronto, gave out the large num- ber of presents for the employees. On behalf of the Union Frank Woolner presented Mr. Rheder with a Christmas present from the employees. The afternoon's ac- tivities ended with a special Christmas lunch. b Bowmanville H. S. Christmas Party An Enjoyable Affair Students of B.H.S. who have been writing exams for the past week had a pleasant change on Friday afternoon and evening when the Literary Society held their annual Christmas party. Éifth Form program in the after- noon and an exhibition basketball game and dance were the main attractions of the day. Principal L. W. Dippell intro- duced the program which was immediately taken over by Allan Strike as master of ceremonies for fifth form with some very witty remarks. Some of the latest jazz classics were presented by fifth form orchestra composed of Frances Jose, Jim Patterson, Col- lette Ferguson, Eric McIlveen, Tom Ross,,Carl Boe, Bob Stevens and Lillian Osborne. A truth or consequence pro- gram directed by Marie Moise proved to be very popular, espe- cially when several of the teach- ers were called out and had to suffer the consequence for not answering questions. One of the interesting results of this quiz was Mr. Workman playing boogie- woogie on the piano accompanied by Tom Ross on the drums. A modern dance number by Jean Caverly and Fay Fry prov- ed to be quite a sensation when they came out and did a smart Hawaiian routine. Another plea- sant hour was spent in watching a group of films projected by Mr. Fred Gardiner on the school's new movie projector. The remainder of the afternoon was devoted to singing Christmas carols and the annual visit of Santa Claus. The latter gave out presents to all students present FIIISTDABY4fêiP*tr The first baby to be born in Bowmanville Hospital is really going to be a lucky infant this year. Some of Bowmanville's enterprising merchants have got together and are presenting some little baby with a large number of gifts. The only rules are that the baby be born in Bowmanville Hospital some time after midnight, New Year's Eve. We list a few of the items here but for full particulars turn to Page 9. Bowmanville's First Baby of 1946 will receive, a Silver Mug, Diaper Bag, All-Wool Fascinator Blanket, Kimona and Bootee Set, Bottle of Mennen's Antiseptic Baby Oil, Milk Tickets, a Basket of Groceries, 2 Dozen Diapers, Baby's Own Set, Baby Locket, one year's subscription to The Statesman and a free birth notice. Sorry If It's Late We are very sorry if your Statesman is a little late this week. It was caused by a bad blowout in the hydro transfor- mer which supplies our lino- types and presses. This break- down allowed the staff a few hours much needed rest to re- cuperate from Christmas fes- tivities. Thanks to the hard work of Leo Goolah and Alvin Welsh of Public Utilities Com- mission the electrical equip- ment was repaired in record time and the machines started to roll again Wednesday night. Bowmanville Couple Wed Sixty Years Ago Mr. and Mrs. George A. McTag- gart, Bowmanville, formerly of Toronto, celebrated the 60th an- niversary of their marriage, Sat- urday, Dec. 22, by holding "open house" for their relatives and friends at the home of their niece, Mrs. Louie Morris, Bruce Street, Oshawa. Celebrating with then were their sons, Barton, Montreal, and Elmer, Toronto, and their daughter, Mrs. A. C. Hord (Merle) also of Toronto. Six grandchild- ren and two great-grandchildren complete the family circle. The couple were married in Brooklin, Ont., Dec. 23, 1885, by Rev. J. J. Redditt, and made their home for many years in Myrtlehbefore moving to Toronto, then to Bowmanville. For a long period of time Mr. McTaggart was a builder in Toronto and now is occupied on a small farm just east of Bowmanville. He and his wife have always been interested in church work and are members of Trimnity United church, Bowman- ville.
