The business transacted includ- ed reports from the Hospital Sup- erintendent, Miss Pearl Lumby, from the Ladies' Auxiliary and an interim financial statement from the secretary-treasurer.

Legion Unveils Shield Heads AIl Ontario ln New Membership Methods of Raising Funds For New Hospital Building Discussed at Board Meeting The Back Shop You can't tell us that Christmas comes only once a year. We know better and we don't mean because of the gifts we give and receive. We mean because of the size of this week's Statesman. We can't believe that we are publishing a 16-page paper in March. That big edition was always reserved for the CI*istmas shopping Guide or for some outstanding event such as Dollar Day, Old Home Week, Goodyear Anniversary or the end of the world. But, due to the increased amount of news that is coming in and the flood of advertisers who are seeing the light and the advantages of week- ly newspaper advertising, we just couldn't do anything else but produce such a large paper for you. W hope you'll have time to read it 1. We certainly are full of surprises. Last week's issue was exceptional at 14 pages and this week we've upped it by two pages. What giveth next week, Heaven alone knows. * * * Such gigantic issues (for us) bring about quite a strain on the entire staff. Everyone is working to schedule. There is no time to check the paper over properly so that more mistakes than usual appear. Machinery is taxed and ev- eryone gets grouchy as blazes. For instance, readers are not expected to stand on their heads to read one line in Capt. Philpott's article "As I See It" on Page 11. Grem- lins must have turned it up that way. Also, in a few pa- pers the Goodyear's magnifi- cent new plane a Grumman Widgeon has some very nice wording underneath it telling the world about a Norseman skimming over the heads of some snowmobiles in the Muskox expedition. Fortun- ately, we caught that one be- fore it ran too far. And there are probably other errors or omissions in this editionmfor which we apologize humbly. These mistakes probably up- set and worry us far more than they do you. We just don't like making mistakes but can't seem to help it some- times. * * * I must tell you about las week's paper and the fun we had Some of you received The States man with a most peculiar fron page.

The programme was presented by the famed Toronto Men Teachers' Choir who came at the invitation of Bowmanville Lions Club. Her- alded in press reports for contri- buting so splendidly during war years in the cultural field of music, Bowmanville was honored to receive them following more than 100 concerts given through- out Ontario. The Lions share with them the congratulations heard on every side at the conclusion of a memorable occasion. Under the direction of their leader, Eldon Brethour, B.A., and their concert committee of five members, thereawere assembled a choir of 54 male voices together with Alex Turner, accompanist and assisting artists, Anne Balay, violinist, with Myrtle Meretsky, her accompanist. The choir was arranged in four divisions, 15 first tenors, 13 second tenors, 13 first, bass and 13 second bass, under the baton of their conductor. The programme embraced a range of selections which brought out all the shades of tone, volume and in- flection so pecullar to and so welJ adapted for male voices. The violin selections offered interludes of exceptional music. The opening chorus "Jerusalem' inspired by William Blake's poem written in 1820, was a moving rendition faithfully interpreted from Parry's conception, its mora background based on social re form and appropriate and inspir Standing room only was the or- der at the Bowmanville Legion, which met Thursday evening in the Council Chambers.

Red Cross Given Advance Preview Of Post War Endeavors for Canada At a public meeting held in the Town Hall auditorium, Monday evening, the officers and members of the local branch of the Red Cross, together with those wha came to show an interest in its work, were rewarded by hearing of the national plans of the Red Cross for post war years. Chair- man Jae O'Neill, M.C., the Presi- dent of the local branch, had plea- sure in introducing the speaker, Mrs. D. F. Dewar, Toronto, De- partment of Home Nursing, First Aid and Nurses Reserve, Ontario Division, Canadian Red Cross Society. Mrs. Dewar in her very able and comprehensive address, reviewed briefly the great contribution of the Red Cross at home and abroad during the war years, but her main message had to do with the plans of this great organizatin during the post war period. The endeavor now is to attract con- tinuing public support for a na- tional campaign of health ani nutrition. These involve many factorg. One of the main interests will| be progressively to help veterans in their many problems, partic- ulary re-estabishment in heath- ful homes and care of their child- ren. This idea will be extended through local branches to include the development of a home nurs- ing service. It has been a function of the Red Cross to step in during any emergency until other, proper authority can take over. Plans include establishment at all centres of a school where mothers and others may get prac- tical training in home nursing with the idea of aiding at homes in any emergency. The classes will admit 16 during each year and a series of lectures and prac- tical demonstrations will be given by doctors and nurses. The entire scheme is basically one of a greatly strengthened national nutrition programme with home nursing as a central concern in forwarding the plan. Other points touched on were suggestions for hot lunches for (Continued on Page Five) me ittsatl-luu£ j-. of those in MD 3, with Kingston as Headquarters. Additional information issued at the same time by the Defence Dept. calls attention that all sold- iers in Canada on extended leave in industry and farming, etc., are now eligible for discharge, subject to priority of those returning from overseas. They will be advised in this regard in individual letters. •neetn rga i!nteresting Program At St. Paul's W.M.S. St., Paul's W.M.S. met at the home of Mrs. Geo.
