UA d'W MURf THE CANADIAN STATESBAN.BWAVLE QNTARIO THURSDAY, JUNEC 27th, 1M4 Rtotary Inte.atonal Expanded Dy Many New Post War Clubs Recently returned from the Ro- tary International convention at Atlantic City, veteran Rotarian George Hart, Oshawq, told the local club at its Friday luncheon, many of the highlights of the ga- thering, the keynote of which was a universal desire to direct and extend Rotary Internationai's ac- tivities'into channels activeiy con- cerned with establishing and maintaining worid peace. The ac- count he gave was an inspiring review expressed with his ac- customed, easy oratory and almost whoiely from memory. It was the sixth time Mr. Hart has addressed the local club and as usuai he held his audience in a grip of interest always occasioned by one who has something to say. The Speaker George James introduced Mr. HEart and he was thanked by Art Hardy, two long-time friends who brought out interesting sideiights of the years he spent in Bowman- ville and district, following his arrivai from Engiand 53 years ago. Presîdent of Oshawa Dairy, Ex-Mayor of Oshawa, active in politicai life, a real leader in al community aff airs, Mr. Hart has found time to maîntain contact with his oid-time Bowmanville friends and is stili considered by them as, a feiiow citizen. Mr. Har- dy suggested that Mr. Hart dis- played prescience in choosing his business career since in the dairy industry, cows neyer go out on strike. Huge Gathering The Atlantic City convention, said Mr. Hart, was the biggest in the history of Rotary. With 72 countries represented, more than 11,800 accredited delegates came to deai with the business on the agenda. 'They met in the largest hall in the worid, capable of ac- commodating some 43,000 per- sons and with local clubs and visitors joining with the delegates, more than 23,000 attended the first session. 0f the 5,671 clubs throughout the world, with a membership of over 271,000 there have been 305 new clubs esfab- lished and revived following the war. Fine Pageant The setting for the occasion was one of magnificent pageant, including noted orchestras, with ail the arrangements neoessary for broadcasting the entire program. Much praise was accorded the presiding officer, Tom Warner of England, head of Rotary Interna- tional. who has spent the past year in America preparing for the oc- casion. A highiight in his honor was the special British Empire dinner, the cost per plate, $3.50, which, as Mr. Hart observed, did not excel the Carter caterîng for the Bowmanviile Club. Home Office The business of the convention, as usuai, was facilitated by having numerous special committees meet and bring in recommenda- tions and the only stormy cie- ment came in open session on the question of the future location of the International Office. The lease in Chicago, home of Paul Harris, founder of Rotary, had expired. The chief contender was Denver. Expensive lobbies brought out a real battie, but Chi- cago finally won out. The inter- lude was one highlighting the U.S.A. capacity for political or- ganization in the nature of na- tional presidential conventions. Key Address In this regard Mr. Hart told of the notable addrcss of Command- er Harold A.. Stassen, naval veter- an and former Governor of Min- nesota, now being groomed as a presidential candidate for 1948. Mr. Stassen placed before Rotar- ians his 7-point programme for universal peace and with great frankness offered criticism of U.S. A. policy that might work against spoke in faultless English on a high plane in which he balanced nationalism against international- ism and traced the history of con- flict as resulting from group move- ments, whîch in the interests of future peace must merge into a wider field with broader con- cepts of universal humanity. His address was offset by the delega- tion from India, which ail through the proceedings, sought sympa- thy for their supposed wrongs at BACKACHE May b.Warninq DAkache may b. a sigalyou kidn.ys ae faiing te fâlt eces a" &Wu oion Ma W8t05 kmitdmt,. yteif.

Sutmmary In conclusion, Mr. Hart sum- marized the main factors of the convention and suggested that the local club could benefit much irom reading and discussing the printed accounts of the conven- tion. which are being distributed to ail Rotary Clubs in due course. He gave his final impression as .George Hart one of inspiration in the power, dignity and force of Rotary as one of the great, altruistic organiza- tions destined to do much for peace and international under- standing. Business Three members, Morley Van- stone, Bill Tennant and Charlie Miller, received birthday flowers. A letter of thanks for funds was rcceived from the Children's Aid Society, Port Hope, with a sum- mary of the facilities undertaken from the gîft. Charles Carter re- ported on the current ciothing drive and the part to be taken by the Rotary committee. John James, pinch-hitting for Bert Vir- gin, sparked the club songs of the day with Dave Morrison at the piano.

ShIp' BMIl of HMCS Buiwmnavlll. R.tur.d To Mayor and Couneil An interesting chapter in the local history of the late war was the return of the ship's bell of H.M.C.S. Bowmanville, to the citizens of the corporation Who contributed funds for the furnish- ings of the ship and comforts for its crew at the time it was com-- missioned. In a public ceremony at the Town Hall, Tuesday afternoon, June 11, two officers of the De- partment of Naval Services came on from their headquarters in Toronto, with the bail and an officiai seroll. They were met by Mayor C. G. Morris, together with Councillors Owen Nicholas and Ray Dilling and Town Clerk A. J. Lyle and a delegation of citizens who shared in the formai- ities. The officers, Commander G. F. McCrimmon, R.C.N. (R) and Lieut. Commander J. M. Leeming, R.C.N., in command, H.M.C.S. York, Naval Barracks, Toronto, were commissioned by Minister of Defence D. C. Abbott to make the presentation. The proceedings were entirely informai and the bell and scroli were handed over while pictures werq taken by The Statesman's staff photographer. The bell inscribed "H.M.C.S. Bowmanville, 1944," is made of bronze, stands a foot high with a circumference of two feet and weighs ten pounds. With the bell and fastenings accompanying, it wiil be hung in a prominent pos- ition in the Council Chamber. The scroll which is handsomely illum- ined, is signed by the Minister, Hon. D. C. Abbott. It wili be fram- ed and displayed near the bell. Text of the seroîl is as foilows: H.M.C.S. Bowmanville Named for the Town of Bow- manville. this corvette was laun- ched on the 26th day of January, 1944, at Sunderland, Engiand. She was commissioned on 28th day of September, 1944 and was paîd off on the l5th day of February, 1946. During her period of service in the Royal Canadian Navy, H.M. C.S. Bowmanviiie, was sponsored by the Town of Bowmanvilie, Ontario, through which generous contributions were made to the comfort and weifare of those who served in this gailant ship. The record of H.M.C.S. Bow- manville is a proud one and her bell is presented as a memento and as a token of gratitude to those who gave so wiiiingly of their time and substance for the benefit of the ship's company. May they share wîth them the sa- tisfaction of a task weii done. D. C. Abbott, Minister of Naval Services After 17-years of service with no maintenance costs whatever, aluminum shingled roofs in the town of Arvida, Que., home of Canada's aluminum industry, show no signs of corrosion. Cmunl.. .C<incf Plans Extendod Road Program The United Counties Road Com- mission brought down a dual road programme, the main features of which were adopted by the Coun- ties Council in the session con- cluded hast week. Work will pro- ceed at once in gravehling and re- surf acing sections in both coun- ties amounting to 64-.9 miles which are beiow standard. It was also recommended that other sections of township roads be taken into the county road system. Town- ship councils will be consulted in this matter to receive concur- rence. General roads improvement this season include repairs to 16.6 miles in Durham and 48.3 miles in Northumberland. The gr.avel- ling in Durham is made up of 400 cu. yards in Clarke, 500 in Dar- lington, and 2,000 each in Cart- wright and Cavan. Surf ace treatment with tar or asphait wili inchude 5 miles, Hampton to Taun- ton; two miles at Nestieton' and two miles at Millbrook. A dan- gerous corner wîll be corrected at Blackstock and a iow spot at a Tyrone creek wifl b e levated. The pavement, Blackstock-Caes- area, 2.9 miles will be re-treaded. To be taken into -the county road system, if found agreeable, are the foflowing: From Scott's corners, Cavan, on highway 28 to county road No. 10. In Cart- wright, the Purpie Hill Road from county road No. 57 to Ontario County boundary, and from Caes- area west to county road No. 14. In Manvers, from county road 16A to highway 7A. In Clarke, from Kirby to Co. road No. 1, if Clarke council replaces bridge and puts ~road in better shape. From En- niskilien to Ontario county cor- responding connection. Town- ships must agree to a minimum of 66 ft. right of way and move the fences where necessary. Reeve Norman Green, Cart- wright had his motion accepted that township councils must be consulted in the matter of-taking over these township roads. It will be, seen that Northumber- land gets the lion's share of road improvements at thîs time. No one can get the best of you unless you let them play upon your worst.
