PAGE ICrigHT TEE CANADIAN STATMMAN. 8OWMANVU~LE. ONTAUXO A XI IJZh~AJZL X1 d~F1~JJ.a lEUR, I by ELSIE CARRUT13ERS LUNNEY SPLIT-LEVEL Wrhere, oh where is Spring? The green leaves of the tulips .have been covered with snow at least three times, and the Rob- ins are getting chilblains. The grass is afrajd to turn green except in sheltered spots, and everything is at a standst'Il, waiting for warmth. One begins ta fear a repetition af last year 's ]ate Spring, especially when the weather hbas ibeen so cold and the blizzards so fierce in the States. They even had snow in Washington last Saturday, snow on the cherry blossoms. We've had aur storms bere too. Remember the big rain a couple of xeeks ago? An itemn in a delayed copy af the Acorn Bugle published in the Valley tells of the terrible night put in by Ben and Marilyn Ground- hag, a fiee young couple, grand- nephew of Archie, who got married last year. It seems nothing would do Marilyn, a pretty young thing named for some movie star, but one of these new, expensive split-level houses half-way down the side of the ravine Everybady but Marilyn and her mnother, an ambitious type, thought the location foolharay because of the river flooding. But Marilyn said, "Pooh. That little aId stream? There isn't enough water in it for a drink." Weil, what could Ben do? If his bride had said ta pretend they were beavers and build right in the water, it's likely he'd have done it. Sa two weeks aga the water earted pouring in the bottom starey. Ben and Marilyn bailed like fury for hours, but it was Cet Cash To-day for OId Appliances through STATESMAN CLASSIFIEDS Phone MA 3-3303 no use. They had to retreat upstairs, leaving the ping- pong table, the new automatie washer and dryer and sundry other items floating around in the muddy water. When the water finally went down thoy say there was enough mud left on the fancy tile floor to grow potatoes in. Live and learn. A pleasant reminder that Spring should be here is the lovely bunch of fat pussywil- lows given to us which we plac- ed in an old silver coffee pot against a blue green wall. Lovely. ABOUT HUGHENDEN We have had two requests for information about "the oId Brîttain place' on Liberty Street North, occupied for several years recently by Mr. and Mrs. James Nixon. Last Eall Mrs. Bernard Kitney asked about it when they moved in, and recently Mrs. Orville Osborne inquired about the namne of the bouse,- "Hugenden", because ber daughter Lillian is residing in a town of that namne in Sask- atchewan. In J. B. Fairbairn's book on Bowmanvile there is no ex- planation af the namne "Hugh- enden", so that unless somne survivor in the Brittain famlly who may know the source or significance should see this, that must remain unanswered. However, there is a good deal of information available about the Brittain family.1 There were three brothers, William, Joseph and Benjamin who came from Lincolnshire, England in the 1850's it would seem. The Brittain family dealt in meat. William after a time moved ta Toronto, but Joseph and Charles Young with who-m William had been associated, continued ta supply the tow&n xith meat, so Mr. Fairbairni says, but we believe the Caw-t kers were doing their share ate this time too.t Then trother Benjamin and one, Richard Reed, jained Jos-t eph in the enterprise which ex. panded ta buying park framn the U.S., curing it and shipping ta Liverpool. Because ai customs duties, the firm decided ta go ta the source,, Iowa, and moved ta Marshalltown, with Thomas Bassett jaining the firm. There they not only did ex- tremely well in the meat pack- ing business, but in same fash- ion struck a silver mine which made themn wealthy. Joseph de- cided ta return ta Bowmanville in 1884, and in 1885 he buiit "Hughenden" whieh became a showplace ai the town. Mr. Fairbairn waxes elo- quent, and justly so about its location with a view clear ta the beautîful and ever-changing Clarke hilis. Mr. Fairbairn says Mr. Brittain showed ad- mirable taste not only in the construction of the house and choice af grounds, but in the charming, graceful way In which they were laid out. There were many fruits, shrubs and vines. The taîl trees which we see there now were no doubt planted by Mr. Brit- tain. The name ai the house and date ai erectian are above the doorway. Joseph Brittain's frst wife was Esther McClellan. She died leaving two sans. Mr. Brittain's second wife was a Miss Wilson whorn he married in England, the daughter ai a well-to-do and respected fami- ily. Only child ai this second marriage was Mrs. Alexander, the wife af the late J. W. Alex- ander, the president ai the Dominion Organ and Piarno Company. Mr. Fairbairn says the two boys were in San Francisco when he wrote bis books in 1907. Perhaps their families are stili there. If anyone has anything fur- ther ta contribute an '"Hughen- den", memories or information ai any kind, we shail be glad ta have such information. Jas- eph Brittain was still living there in 1907, s0 there must be people who remember the place when occupied by the Brit-, tains.1 * * * THOUGHTfUL GESTURE The Senior Cîtizens gather- ings launchcd last Decemberi by Club 15 aré cantinuing to V IGOR OIL CO, LTDO increase in attendance and en- joyment, if that is passible.

The new executive will be installed by the president of the Port Hope club, Mrs. Ethel Murray, at the May meeting here in which Port Hope club members have been asked ta Vo cational Service Rotary Way of Lif e iSpeaker Telis Members The world has neyer needed so much what Rotary has ta give, as it needs it taday Vic Fuicher, ai the Toronto Rotary club, told the Bowmanvllle Ro- tarians Friday in a thought provoking address an the va!- ues ai vocational service in everyday lufe. Altbaugh it is aiten taken lightly by Rotarians, vacational service is, nevertheless, a prime abject ai Rotary and pravides a guide for living Rotary seven days a week. Faur-Way Test Evolving around the Rotary Four-Way test ai truth, fairness, goodwill and benefit ta al concerned, vocational service bas the following aims: 1, tuj foster and encourage high eth- ical standards in the conduct ai business and profession; 2, the recognition ai the worthiness of all useful occupations 3, the dignifying by each Ratarian af bis business or profession as an apportunity ta serve Society. Mr Fuicher found the abjects ai Rotary very close ta the concepts af Cbristianity. "Yoa can't be a goad Christian witil- out living Christ's teachings every day-ail day. Slmilarly you can't be a good Rotarian without living vocational ser- vice at work, at play, every day, ail day." Human Relations Signs ai a new era in human sciences are ail around us the speaker pointed out. People he said are looking for more meaning and purpose in their lufe and work. They realize that there is no deep and lasting satisfaction from money and material possessions and are in- stead turning towards religion. There is also an universal searching In industry for great- er knawledge in human rela- tions. Despite the progress and changez ai the 2Oth century there are stili many living as it were in the lOth century and who deplore the modern trends ZION (Hope Township) (Intended for last week) Mrs. Forrestor and sons, To- ronto, were weekend guests of Mr. and Mrs. Edwin Ruthven.

A program of readings and contest, "Hidden Sigris of Spring', followed. A clainty Linch wvas served by hostess and lunch committce and a pleasant social tiine was sn2joyed by &4al, in human relations. "As Rotarians," Mr. Fuicher stated, "we should try ta un- derstand the changes that have and are taklng place and we should act intelligently in the light af knowledge thus acquir- ed. Our vacational service carn- rnittees are, we believe, wcll advised in turning their atten- tion ta the study ai business tapies with ail the social and economie implications th,-y embrace." Mr. Puleher went on ta ex- plain ta the Bowmanviile club the wide and varied pragramn af the Toronto club in pramot- ing vocational service among its members. Stands Or Falls In ebosing the speaker quot- ed from 13Rotary International the loiiowîng, "Rotary stands or fails an the response ta Va- cational Service. Not by lunch- eon for by good feilowship nor even by charitable works can you justify the existence ai a Rotary club. Only as itg mem. bers transiorm their job into a vacation-an]y as they make service the dominant motive in their business or profession- ai praetices-oniy as their in- fluence and authority is exer- cised daily and continualiy ta encourage and foster the ideal of service amaong their fellow men-is the purpose ai Rotary accompiished."
