m re "Durham County's Great Family Journal" VOLUME 92 BOWMANVILLE, ONT., THURSDAY, APRIL 25, 1946 - NUMBER Shoppers Panic Saturday -tcher Shops Cleaned Out It was a meatless Easter for the majority of families in Bowrman- ville and district. By 10 a. m. ,Thursday the blinds Were drawn in every butcher shop in town and the "sold out" sign displayed on the doors.. Coolers were strip- ped of everything including wien- ers, livar and kidneys and pressed meats of every description. Only those in the habit of shopping early and others who watch trends in the papers were lucky to get in on thé red meat cuts. The thing carried on into Sat- urday and Monday and according to all reports, red meats will be in short supply for some time to come. The situation was some- what relieved by butchers holding slaughter permits who managed to hold out longer than those depending on scanty morning de- liveries from Toronto abbatoirs. Farmers who are usually late Saturday shoppers, returned home to dress out the odd fat. fowl for Sunday dinner. - In search of comment among butchers, consumers and farmers, as to the cause of this alparently sudden shortage, the Statesman's farm reporter was assured that the condition was general right across the country. Many con- flicting theories were advanced. Butchers, apparently incline to the belief that big packers are holding back with the idea of forcing the ceihing price to stop losses they claim they are exper- iencing every week. They claim they are paying rafter prices and selling at the ceiling. Consumers blame it on the al- leged black market but when pinned down as to how it oper- ates, and if they can point to any local instances, they shift to the general refuge of blaming it on the government. Farmers, as usual divide their condemnation between the packers and the government. They feel that a price rise on finished cattle is what they deserve, especially after feeding grain all winter. But they admit it is almost im- possible to buy young stock to put on grass at this particular time. Meantime news floods in from other points with most of it con- flicting as to cause and cure. The Ontario Federation of Agriculture is opposed to breaching the ceil- ing and demands that Ottawa set up a select parliamentary com- mittee forthwith to study the question or they will organize a Coxey's Army march on the Capital. The Ontarlo Beef Breeders' Association, on the other hand, demands that the ceiling be lifted or they will organize a farm strike to keep all beef on farms until legislators and bureaucrats, especially the latter, are brought to their senses. Packers appear studiously to be keeping silent and producers believe they are proceeding by way of a lobby of the nature of that which resulted in the 121/2 percent rise in farm machinery. At the same time the Toronto Housewives Association has con- vened to protect the interests of city consumers. A government spokesman views the contretemps as due to a rush of Easter buying and asks that all hands refrain from hasty action, believing that forebearance for a space will see all things righted. Local people are thankful that there is a goodly supply of eggs and that the fish- ng season is now open. But the overhead of the idle butchers goes steadily along with a daily iloss. Rubber Workers May Strike Over Nation Wide Dispute That things are shaping up for a nation-wide strike involving many industries is forecast in a recent bulletin issued at an inter- national labor headquarters.,High- lights of the release include the statement that Canadian Rubber Workers are preparing for a showdown on their wage and hour demands. An emergency confer- ence was called to meet in To- ronto Tuesday to discuss progress and make recommendations for all locals. It is pointed out that most or- ganized rubber workers have al- ready voted strike action to await final decision as to a gen-- eral strike at the hands of the in- ternational body. Goodyear To- ronto voted 98.5 percent in favor of giving autonomy to its local, if action is necessary. Goodyear Bowmanville has already carried the same decision by a large majority. Under the caption, "Get Ready For a Fight Brother" the state- ment continues: "The biggest cam- paign that the Canadian trade union movement has ever at- tempted is about ready to get under way. We are getting ready to take action to halt rising living costs and declining wage rates. The three objectives, printed in capitals, are: Higher Wages, The 40-Hour Week, and Lower Cost of Living." The bulletin states it is design- ed to arouse a favorable public opinion and that the grocer and small businessman, most concern- ed with worker's welfare should be told the facts to be fully ac- quainted with the issues involved in the present struggle. Besides rubber workers the bulletin in- cludes woodworkers, steelworkers, mine workers and railway em- ployees. By special mail The Statesman has received a volume of literature direct from union headquarters bearing on the is- sue. Bicycle Club Plans ike. Hike To Hampton Park Saturday The Lions Bicycle Safety Club, at its meeting in the Town Hall, Saturday morning, formally took over its' affairs under direction of its own officers who were elected the week previously. In the ab- sence of President John Cattran' the chair was taken by Vice-Pres- ident Frank Hooper and the busi- ness session opened with reading of the minutes by Secretary- Treasurer, Peggy Dippell, who moved their adoption. Present also in a watching brief to assure due observance of accepted publie procedure, was Charles Carter, President Lions Club, but the meeting proved to be well in hand by these junior executives. The featured speaker of 'he day was one of the members, young Bill Fraser who spoke on the care and operation of a bicycle. He went back into history and traced the development of this vehicle, which, as he pointed out was still the most economical means of getting places at a fair rate of speed. He pointed out that in late years the bicycle had come back into popularity at a time when the motor car sought pre- ferred right of way and hence it was found advisable for bicycle bs to do their part in educating public in matters of traffic 'Wety. He went on to explain the m hanics and technique requir- keep bikes in perfect run- order, such as frequent ecking to assure that bearings and brakes were in order, that wheels be kept in alignment, that tires'be examined for flaws, with air pressure at accepted standards. He stressed the need for proper oiling, the use of accessories such as lights and signals and conclud- ed with the important admonition that members take pride in thejr bikes by keeping them clean and shined up as a matter of public and individual pride. He was ac- corded much applause for his address. A general vote was taken as to where the first hike would go and the decision was Hampton Park, Saturday morning. Mem- bers wîli assemble at the Town Hall at 10 a.m. each with aTself- provided lunch. Soft drinks will be obtained at Hampton, if avail- able and for a few hours there wvill be games, with teams chosen for softball. The return home will be made in early afternoon. It was suggested that members might do the family shopping be- before 10 a.m. It is also expected that a truck will go along to pick up any whose machines break down. Rules of the road are: Single file so spaced to permit the pass- ing of motor cars along the route. One or more adults will go along to ensure order and safety. In case of rain the regular meeting will take place at the Town Hall. An interesting feature of the meeting was the first traffic court. With Charles Carter as Judge, no less than 16 appeared for violations of the traffic rules. The evidence was given by the traffic officers of the week, Mary Southey and Keith Shackleton. Penalties were laid in accordance with the degree of offence, rang- ing from tieup of bikes for 24 hours to the obligation of report- ing to the Chief of Police. Police for this week are Margaret Dustan and Alan Lobb. Provincial Officer Pollard gave a talk on Safety Patrols, some highlights of which were also disclosed by Gloria Robson who saw the plan in operation at her former home in Winnipeg. The idea is to have a juvenile patrol at intersections during rush hours to aid in directing traffic. A com- mitte was formed to meet with Mr. Pollard and Mr. Carter and arrange for organization. The members include: Audrey North- cutt, Rhona Evans, Betty Lunn, w niels, Mr. and Mrs. Nelson Dan- iels, Oshawa, at C. D. Pascoe's. Mr. Tom Rheder, McGill Uni- versity, Montreal, has completed his course for this year and is now employed at the Bowman- ville Foundry. Keith Shackleton, Sonny Hooper and one other whose name es- caped this reporter. Another Committee consisting of Jim DeGeer, John Bunner, will join with Mr. Carter to meet the Mayor and discuss the matter of what may be done to improve the condition of the sidewalk curbs. At the conclusion of the meeting it was again stressed that to become members it is necessary to pass the tests by reciting the rules before Chief of Police Syd- ney Venton.

Rose Stevens Elected President Lions Club $250 to Soldiers Fund A triple feature program was the order at the regular Lions Club luncheon, Monday evening. It was given over entirely to business, the highlight of which was a ver& able and instructive address by Lion Bill Garner of Barrie, Deputy District Governor, Zone 8, of Ontario. Mr. Garner spoke on the Barrie Community Centre, a timely topic in view of the imminent development of the Lions Club property on Beech 'Ave., Bowmanville. A complete report of Mr. Garner's address will be published next week. Mr. Wise, of the Ontario Tuberculosis Association followed with motion pictures dealing with another Lions' project, the X-ray clinic. Finally came announcement that Ross Stevens was elected Presi- dent, Bôwmanville Lions Club for 1946-47.

Mrs. Frank Gilbert and the nine pupils of Solina school are re- ceiving congratulations regard- ing the splendid health work ac- complished by them during the past year, according to Dr. Miller, head of the County Health Unit at Bowmanville. Dr. Miller said that of the 95 schools visited by him, both urban and rural, Solina school stood on top, not only in art work and posters, but also in the quality of the health lessons taught. The .books of two senior nupils. Isobel Cruickshank and Don Pascoe, and the..books of two junior pupils, Fae.

J. Flett for O. F. Robson, district agent for International-McCor- mick-Deering. Ground was brok- en last week with a bulldozer supplied by the Toronto Con- struction Company, at the site, 134 King St. East, next door to the Machine Shop of D. R. All- dread. The cement foundation was then poured and set to. ac- commodate the superstructure. The walls, already up a half story, are of concrete blocks which have been manufactured on the premises during the past several weeks. The building will be one story in height, with steel girders stipporting an all-steel roof. It is expected that the building will be entirely complet- ed within eight weeks time. The overall dimensions are 31' 4" by 127' with the interior divided into three separate sec- tions; a spacious showroom in front, a repair and workshop and a storage for new equipment. The building will front directly on King St. It will be finished with stucco and a plate glass window, 22' wide, will add greatly to the appearance of the business aspect in that locality. The property purchased by Mr. Robson for this enterprise, in- cludes the lot in the rear 250' by 88' which will be used both for assembly and for storage of trade-in implements. On this lot is also being constructed a load- ing ramp, one of the very few to be seen in this part of the coun- try. When fully completed the new building will have adequate ac- commodation to meet the re- quirements of the very extensive territory allotted to Mr. Robson by the companies he represents, which include practically the whole range of the needs of the farming industry. Mr. Robson's father and brother are in the same line of business at Bobcay- geon. Already well established, Mr. Robson has further added to his capital investment in town by his purchase this week of a modern home on Church St. Geo. Hart Presented With 50-Year Jewel The regular meeting of Oshawa Sons of England Society with Worthy President G. Wiggins offi- ciating, turned out to be a very special event. Bro. George Hart, one of -Oshawa's most prominent business men, was the special guest. During the meeting Bro. Hart spoke at some length on the history of the Order and also told some very amusing incidents of his first years as a citizen of Osh- awa. At the end of the business session W.P. G. Wiggins handed the gavel over to Bro. J. H. Dyas, District Deputy, who with some very timely remarks presented Bro. G. Hart with the coveted Jewel for 50 years' service and faithfulness to the Sons of Eng- land. Bro. Hart thanked the Brothers for the Jewel and ex- pressed is intention of uphoidng the principles of the British Em- pire and his fidelity to the society. Hampton Mrs. M.

It will be open daily, observing regular of-i fice hours. There will be frees X-Ray chest examinations forE citizens of the entire community.1 This has been made possible with the co-operation of the Lions Club which raised funds through the sale of Christmas Seals.1 A committee consisting of Dr. Harold Ferguson and Ted Chant with the valued aid of Dr. W. G. Miller, Director, County Healthj Unit, has made a canvass of the district to bring to the attentioni of all the value of this service. Members of the Home and School Club have also made a house to house canvass of the town with the idea of getting the largest attendance possible. This scheme is part of the cur- rent fight to stamp out tubercul- osis. It is also stressed that the X-Ray films often reveal other defects requiring prompt treat- ment. The setup at the Clinic provides complete privacy in ex- aminations and the resultant films. Individuals will later be advised privately should the re- cord indicate active treatment. The doctors in charge wish strongly to urge the importance of this free service and to warn of the danger of neglect now that these facilities have been brought literally to the doors of every home. It is important to remem- ber the dates and place as above noted and plan to come in for examination. Any doctor will be glad to furnish further partic- ulars in the meantime. Good-nature is more agreeable in conversation than wit, and gives a certain air to the coun- tenance which is more amiable than beauty.-Joseph Addison. League & Tournament Scores Mark End Of Bowling Season The bowling tournament follow- ing the close of the regular sea- son at Martyn's Alleys, concluded Saturday night with the money prizes shared by those winning top places. Interest in the game will continue for at least another wepk since two local teams have been selected to take part in the CBA tournament currently run- ning in Toronto. News of this will follow in next week's States- man. Following are the marks made in the tournament: Singles: J. Coole 849; W. Hearl 739; B. Poley 729.

Subject: The Church for To- morrow Scarcity of Paper Considerable has been ap- pearing in the papers lately regarding newsprint quotas and price of flat paper. This problem came close to home this week when The States- man's supply of paper became exhausted. Telephone and telegraph wires were used to get a supply for this week's issue and it was only Tuesday noon when a supply arrived from Toronto by special truck. Under these trying circum- stances we have only been able to print 12 pages, where- as under normal conditions this issue would have con- tained 16 pages. This jam has necessitated holding over considerable advertising and news, the latter includes sev- eral budgets of country cor- respondence, obituaries, wed- dings, report of Lions Club, Back Shop, sport news, Easter services and various other items-over 12 columns in all. So please bear with us. What you don't get this week will appear next week. Schedules Now Set For Basebaîl Practices This week * the Intermediate Baseball Club are due to prac- tice on Saturday afternoon at the High School Grounds. Last week's Saturday workout was called off due to the cold weather but it looks as if the weatherman will be more considerate for this week. With the advent of day- light saving practices are also due to start Monday, Tuesday and Thursday evening. Warm-ups will start at 6:30 p.m. and at 2:30 p.m. Saturday afternoon. Goodyear to Supply Baseball Equipment For hitermediate Team This year intermediate baseball is returning to Bowmanville and the executive of the club find they are faced with many prob- lems before they can put a strong club into operation. The re-or- ganization calls for the purchase of 15 uniforms, erection of new bleachers, dugoutg, installation of new screening, levelling the dia- mond and a complete new set of playing equipment. So far the club has received some donations for the purchase of the uniforms and the Goodyear Tire and Rubber Co. is purchasing the equipment. This still leaves a vast amount of work to be done and very little money on hand. Local merchants and organiza- tions will be canvassed this week for more funds to carry on the work of fixing up the grounds. Tuesday evening, May 21, pro- mises to be an occasion which will bring together the largest lo- cal audience concerned purely with community betterment, since the beginning of the war. At 8 p.m. on that evening a mass meet- ing is called to take place in the Town Hall where the decision will be taken to form a Bowman- ville Chamber of Commerce. Ev- ery citizen is invited as well as farmers of the surrounding dis- trict. All will be eligible to dis- cuss issues and vote on the pro- ject and to elect officers. In three recent meetings at- tended largely by young business- men and returned soldiers, pre- liminary steps have been taken leading up to the mass meeting. Three committees were formed last week having to do with or- ganization, program and public- ity. The chairmen and members of these committees met again, Tuesday evening in the Council Chamber to report progress and discuss further details. All three presented prelimin- ary drafts of the work sa far done. The organizing committee has already secured the Town Hall for May 21 and is proceed- ing with other details necessary for the event.eThe program com- mittee presented its views and steps have already been taken to secure an outstanding speaker, who will be officially welcomed by Mayor C. G. Morris, and who will be supported by three other local speakers, preceding general discussion. It is yet to be decid- ed whether the band will be asked to take part, but the interests of both are mutual. The publicity committee pre- sented the fullest report of the three. Their suggestion to get out in pamphlet form for general dis- tribution a summary of just what a Chamber of Commerce means, met «vith general approval. It was also decided to get out arrest- ing placards for use in store win- dows, calling attention to the event and also to print post cards for mailing just prior to May 21, as a reminder to all of the place, date and time of the meeting. There are many other things yet to be discussed and determin- ed by the committees which will meet weekly in the meantime. Progress of the campaign will be reported each week in The States- man with additional information on the value of a Chamber of Commerce. The keen young fel- lows promoting the idea exhibit an enthusiasm which they hope will be reciprocated by all who have the interests of the entire community at heart. A real family reunion took place at the home of Mr. and Mrs. H. C. Casbourn, King St. Present were Sgt. Major Irene Casbourn, Tor- onto, and Flight Engineer Harold, her brother, whom she has not seen since January, 1941. Their brother Sidney and Mrs. Cas- bourn, Toronto, came along with Mr. and Mrs. Lee Wheeler to en- joy the happy occasion.
