SAVING NO DETTERTOA ê'estion of Public Relations IS the Business of Everyone Charles S. Watson Declares Addressing the Bowmanville Rotary Club at its Civie Night dinner, Friday, February 13, at the Balmoral Hotel, Charles S. Watson found the occasion most appropriate for bis powerful and cloquent exposition that "Public Relations is Everybody's Busi- ness." Guests of the club includ- ed the Town Council, ail civic officials and members of such re- presentative community organiza- tions as the Board of Education, the Hospital Board, the Red Cross and Chamber of Commerce. Mr. Watson puiled no punches in tell- ing these representative citizens of their individual responsibilities on the question of Public Rela- tions And he received an ova,',on for his forthright and instrucN,' message. Mr. Watson broadened the c,4 mon conception of Public Reia- tions as applied to -business, to include its relationships on three levels of human affairs, the com- munity, the nation and the en- tire world. He affirmed with carefully reasoned insistency that to bring out truth and to give more than hip-service to the spir- it of goodwill and tolerance on the domestic level, that firm ground would be established for the remnoval of hatred and suspi- cion in the international sphere. The Speaker In introducing the speaker, Walt DeGeer disclosed that a background of personal experi- ence gave Mr. Watson exception-, ai authority in presenting his sub- ject. Veteran of World War I, with the Canadian Army Over- seas he came home to take em- ployment with Goodyear-Canada for 21 years, 17 of which were as the company's advertising mana- ger. For the past eight years he ~has been associated with Cana- dian Breweries and estabiished .. thieir highly efficient Public Re- lati.pns Depatmet in1943. He wa ne of the ouders and the ~qdpresident of the Toronto Ad flrtising and Sales Club and an expert on Public Relations Student John Langton lt;st Wininer 0f R-tary-B.T, ý. Trophy Each year at Christmastime, the students and staff af the Bow- manville Training Schctoi take a ballot ta select the student "wbo bas been most autstanding during the year in honesty, ca-aperation, industry, popularity, scbolarship and athîcties." This year the bon- or fell ta young John Langton. In order ta lend more signifi- cance ta Ibis splendid conception the Rotary Club of Bowmanviile decided ta present an annuai Ira- pby ta the winner ta bu known as the "Rotary Axvard for Char- acter." Thus John Langton bu- cames the first winner of Ibis coveted award. Besides Ibis silver tropby whicb is the figure of an athîle in the pose o! achievement mounted on a mahogany base, the name o! the winner is engraved on a per- manent plaque, also the gif t o! Rotary, which will have a prom- mnent place in the school. The presentation xvas made Monday by Rotary president, Mcl Dale, witli Superintendent Jack Eastaugh and other officiais o! the school at hand ta congratulate their brîliant pupil, John Lang- ton . Mr. Dale saîd the occasion was a highlight a! bis term as president. XÎoung Langton ex- prussud apprapriatu thanks for the confidence af teachers and scboolmates and the splendid award from Rotaà'y. L!-ghtup or Blackout Up to the People Warns HydroOfficials The cast o! living bas recedud into the background the past few days ta bu replaced by *the ques- tion o! whethcr the people af On- taria wili exercise forbearance in thé' use o! av'ailable electrical re- sources. As the advertisements in Ibis issue o! The Statesman clearly indicate, the choice o! lightup or blackout in certain pur- lods for somne time is cluanly up ta users o! electricity. To under- st.the situation we offer Ibis si advicc: Ke*i"These Publisbed lVarnings %Vith Great Care The qucstion is simple enougb.

This, we bclicvce, is ail thal is necussary ta Say. Charles S. Watson is well known tbroughout the continent. Local Color Weil known in Bowmanville through his cannectian with Goodyear, anather inturest i n g sidelight on Mr. Watson's presunt position is that he serves under Clive Betts, president, Canadian Breweries, who was a former ac- cauntant in the local branch of the Bank o! Montreal, whose wife is the former Miss Edna King, daughter o! tbe laIe Major W. C. King, at one time a noted marks- man with the Canadian Bîsley Team. Mr. Watson prefaced bis ad- dress with a few reminiscences on bis happy associations with Bow- manville and boped that bis re- marks might register with the precision employed by Major King many times at Bisley. He xvent right ta the point by statinga: "It must bu apparent ta every indlvi- .dual willing ta see, that anly by accepting and practising the thea- ry and effective application a! truc public relations can the world emerge from the chaos wbich now engulfs it." (Cantinued on Page Ten) Boys' Training School Featured in Pîiures In Montreal Standard The popular weekly rato maga- zine, Montreal Standard, bas cer- tainly earned ils large circulation in Bown'anville, for no less than three limes in the past two yuars it bas fuatured local activities.

Among the officiais shown in GOOD PUBLIC RELATIONS The Importance of public relations bas been stressed recently in two local address- es which bave been reported in this paper. A good ex- ample of courteous treatment whlch Is a formn of goodwill and public relations was brought to our attention this week which bears repeating. A lady wa.s going to Toron- to on the 6:40 a.ni. C.P.R. train and the night before she lnquired at the station the time the train wvas due to leave and was given the in- formation in a courteous man- ner. The next morning was one of those stormy morn- ings and as a result the train was haîf an bour late. The operator took the trouble to phone the lady early next morning and advised ber of the exact time the train would arrive, so as not to put ber to any undue inconven- ience. Naturallv the lady a very appreciative of this thoughtful attention and did not hesitate ta tbank the op- erator when she arrived at the station. We don't knoiv ta how many people she bas re- lated this pleasant experience -but we are glad ta pin the orchid on Bob ,Rtumney, tele- grapher, for bis kindly act of Public relations in bebaîf of the C.P.R. Courtice Circuit Country Couples Club's Conclave Country Couples held their manthly meeting in Maple Grave Schooi with Wihf Brown presid- ing. Devotional was capably tak- en by Mildred Muir, giving as ber subject, "The Poor,, and aur du- ty tawards them. Discussion ta- Pic was on Hospitalization Bene- fits under the Co-op Scbeme. Di- rector Ernie Twist gave eniight- ening facts on the subject. Harry Hutton favored witb a couple af peppy solos an bis moutb argan.

During recreatian per- îod, Babe and Wilf Brown passed slips ai paper araund inviting each member to give bis or ber own idea an what kind o! programs they would like or any other help- fui suggestions. While waiting for the kettle ta bail, Rev. Yardley led in a bearty sing-sang accampanied by Babe Brown at the piano.

Canadian Canners ai Port Hope Find New Uses for Surplus Apples Denef ils Doth Producer and Consumer The Port Hope branch plant of Canadian Canners Limited has solved the probiem of what to do with the surplus appie crop in this eastern Ontario district, or ta put the case more correctly, ap- pies that grade lower than are permitted retail sale to the con- suming public. Classed as dames- tic and juices these apples in for- mer years Were put to littie econ- omie use and in many cases were lef t on the ground ta rot or for livestock to pick up on fali pas- turage. This past season, due to the stu- dy and enterprise o! the manage- ment o! Canadian Canners, theqge appies are now processed to yield important benetits ta bath pro- ducers and consumers. Instead (i being wasted, farmers are paid spot cash for them and c-'nsumers are given opportunity to purchase two high class food products which permit a varied diet and go quite a way to reduce the cost o! living. Thus private en- terprise again demonstrates its capacity to serve the people. Invitation Accepted The editor o! The Statesman, having for some years insisted that "Industry Has a Story to Tell" was invited by Charlie Ste- phenson, M.P. for Durham Coun- ty, and Wal!ord C. Vick, manager' o! the Port Hope plant of Cana- dian Canners, to take time off and see at first hand how this industry handled the surplus ap- pie problem. So on Tuesday, Feb. 10, accompanied by Ex-War- den Milton J. Elliott and Ralph Stutt, manager, Canadian Can- ners, Bowmanvilie, the visit was made to Port Hope plant. On a tour of the entire premises iasting more than two hours we saw the whoie operation and had the benefit o! expert instruction from Mr. Vick who has for years been a speciaiist in the proces- sing and canning industry. Prob- ably the best way to tell what was learned is to paraphrase the main points expiained by Mr. MacGillivray Girls Former Residents Here Meet Tragic Death Iii Ibis winter's tragic history o! death and destruction by fire, Bowmanvilie had been compar'a- tively unîouched until last Wed- nesday, February 11, when word was rcceived Ihat former resi- dents, June and Audrey MacGil- livray, 16 and 14 years old, bad been burned ta deaîh aI Ste. Rase, near Montreal. Their mother, Mrs. Grant MacGillivray and their sister, Myrna, 15, escaped in the sub-zero weather, Mrs. MacGillivray suffering burns, ru- ceived wben she tried ta return upstairs. Myrna su!fered frost- bite. Mr. MacGillivray, an offi- cer with the 5th Hussars during the war, was aI work with the Bell Telephone Co. in Montreal at the time. The story became even more tragic as il was tld ta us by Stan Morrison of Maher Sboe Store in tawn. Mr. Morrison's wifu is a sistur a! Mrs. MacGillivray. She lefI for Ste. Rose immediately 1Vick. Briefly, said be, we take ;these apples and process them )into apple sauce and apple juice, preserve them in berme ticaily sealed tins labeiled with the well known Aylmer brand of Canadi- an Canners and market them in the usual way to consumers. Research Enterprise Several considerations led to the decision o! the management to use the Port Hope plant for processing apples. Fire had des- troyed t h e Company's plant twenty miles to, the east at Brigh- ton and the growing market for appie sauce and apple juice offered oo)portunity for real research ta utilîze these local apples ta meet outside campetition in consumer markets. Manager Vick attacked this research with char- acteristic thorougbness. -Necessary machinery was set up along the factory line useci for processing vegetable crops and a quantity of run-of-the-mili local apples was secured ta conduet experiments in producing apple sauce and apple juice. Nothing short o! perfection wouid satis!y the exacting management. On the resuit hinged whether the or- cbardists of eastern Ontario couid find a bandy cash market for pracessing apples. Proved Froduct After weeks o! laboratory work the company was rewarded with products which satisfied themn that the plant could make appie sauce and apple juice second ta none on the market, hence the "go-ahead" was given a field force o! buyers operating from Trenton on the east to Pickering on the west. A ncw warehouse was built and two assembly lines equipped to accammadate this ne*# departure in the Port Hope plant. The av- erage empioyment during the winter months has been 70 men and women. And this is another economic factor ta be mentioned later. (Continued on Page Six) MOTHER MAKES NEWS Hockey players these days bave been causing so many injuries to eacb other, due ta, bigh sticking, that it is likely some officiaI action wil be taken ta curb it in the future. But wben a hockey player's mother is also on tbe receiv- ing end, thinga are In bad shape. On Monday nigbt, Mrs. Frank Hooper, mother of Sonny Hooper who plays for Osbawa Junior "B's", was ivatcbing ber son in action against Toronto Byers.

Breslin Style Show Outstanding Success The Breslin Style Show staged in the auditorium o! Bowman- ville High Scbool, Friday night, really set a precedent for centers outside the large cities and more than met the expectations ai Mr. Bruslin and the mutropolitan ar- tists who came from Toronto for their first showing in a rural trad- ing area. It was an innovation urged upon Mr. Morris Watkin, leading Canadian style designer, who is an expert in staging this mode ai visual sales promotion and Breslin's were complimented on enlisting bis interest. Ram set in during the day and despite the later sluet and icy roads and struets, mare than 400 ladies o! the cammunity filled the auditorium long before the show started. In welcoming the audi- ence, Mr. Breslin stated the tbrue- foid purpose o! the occasion.
