PAGE POU I EDITORIALS No - Respect for P roperty or, Most of us will remember the many SWI years between the dreadful blaze that destroyed Taylom's Arena on King Street and. the opening of the new Aena on Queen Street. We well recaîl those days when the childmen and younger gmawn- ups of Bowmanville and district had ta w visit other cammunities ta skate or play DrP ]hockey duing the winter months. En4 Many attempts were made toaraouse M Intêrest and promote funds for a new rink bIE and7 several groups of citizens were foiled ch in their efforts until 1948 when the present wve HE Arena was started. Even that was no la easy job. Individuals and organizations sý contributed time and money and, finally, 'lh the town's taxpayers were called upon for r1o: funds before it could fixnally be opened. ea. It wa not until several years later that the newly formed Kinsmen Club il accepted the onorous responsibility of f raising several -thausand dollars annually for a period of 10 years ta instali and pay C for the artificial ice equipment. At that point, almost $140,000 had been invested in the Queen Street structure ta make certain aur children had a place ta skate and aur yaung people an opportunity of playing hockey at home in Bowmanville. ti Sa, what bas happened? Every year, tE a fèw of those youngsters and some who fi are aider than their teens have feit free al ta unleash their emotians and their destructive tendencies in as wanton a dis-. play of action as could be imagined. This year alone, hundreds of dollars damage 2gý has been done ta the Amena that was and dý is aur pride and jay. Broken pop bottles pi have been shoved down wash basins, hý windows have been smashed with aban- ui don, walls have been delibemately kicked in, leavmng gaping hales. Rubbish bas gi been thrown ail over the building and it hasn't been safe ta leave an article of clothing without risking its disappearance. Money lef t in pockets bas of course been Almost evemyone in this district heav- ed a great sigh of relief last weekcnd when the news came through that there would be fia strike at General Motors this yeam. 'On Saturday, there was a different feeling among shoppers along the street. A week ago, they had been restrained, not wanting ta buy until they knew what was going ta happen ta those weekly pay cheques; if they were going ta continue or if food vouchers might be substituted. MerchantÉs commented on this feeling, somewhat glôomily, but bath they and their customers were- in a different maod when it ended happily. The settiement leaves only Goodyear in this regian ta conclude their agreement with employees. We understand that negotiations are cantinuing at the plant tahea and fhope, they, too can be brought toasâëcessful conclusion so that labor peace can- be established completely. Bowmanville Foundmy made an agreement with its union some weeks ago and we have had noa word of any otiher major dispute which might erupt into a strike. Sa, it looks as though most citizens in At long last, it appears that ail elec- tons in the area, except that of United Counties Warden, have been successfully brought to a conclusion again this year. Our sincere congratulations to those whose senise of duty and popularity with the electors have placed them in office. Our condolences go to those who allowed their inames to stand but were flot elected. tossibly they will have more success at some future date. Municipal politicians have no easy task ahead of them in the year or in some cases two years for which they have been elected. If they are new, they will find that procedures and detail will occupy a great deal of time until they familiarize themselves with every aspect of an ever I more eomplex part time occupation. In the old days, problems were comparatively simple in municipalities, but it is flot so today. In this town alone, they are deal- ing with expenditures amounting ta over a quarter of a million dollars a year. Most newly elected councillors will be surpris- Ç ed when they learn that so little of it can actually be controlled. A large chunk of expenditures must be set aside for the counties' share. More will pay for out- standing debentures and interest and so on, until a small- fraction of the total taxes collected cornes under local council control. j Fortunately, in the district, most of jthe councils this year will be formed by fair game in this irresponsible desecration of other people's praperty. Those in charge, most of them voulntary workers, have been frustrated at every turu in. their attempts to keep the place looking well kept and clean. Even water pipes have been torn f rom the walls as the miscreants have had their fun. This is not a rÀce story to give to the people of Bowmanville, but the situation as becorne so bad that those in charge are completely fed up with trying ta con- trol "littie and big demons" who seem to feel that they are permitted to do any- thing they wish without restriction. We present this picture ta parents in the town, many of whom made donations toward the erection of the Arena and who are taxpayers of either Bowmanville or the communities surrounding this town. This Arena wvas constructed as a Mernorial Building to those who fell during the w-ars. It belongs to the Town of Bowman- ville and every citizen bas a responsibility toward it, whether he or she is young or aid. We, on behaîf of the Arena Manage- ment Commitee, sincerely request every parent to remind their children when they leave for the Amena to behave thern- selves, as they would, or in some cases, better than they would at home. Other- wise, extra policing will be required and every offender will be treated as a vandal should be. Those on duty at the Arena should not have to bear the responsibility of being "baby sitters" for your children or mine. It is our respansibility, flot theirs, ta see that our children behave themselves. This Arena must continue ta be a place of which citizens can be justly proud, not a dirty, broken down wreck because a few fools have no sense of decency or respect for the property rights of others. the area can look forward ta the next few weeks with confidence and the expecta- tion of continued prospemity. The fore- casters seem ta be already at work on 1959 and most of them predict that it will be a better year than the one which is con- cluding - always, of course, barring an international blow up that could change evemything. The only big threat an the horizon is appamently, run away inflation, which could drain any gains which have been made. Certainly, as wage increases are granted, campanies will be incmeasing prices or stepping up production so the profits will flot be reduced below an estab- lished margin and this will bring some inflation which we trust will flot get out of hand. Ahl in ail it looks like a good Christ- mas ahead for almost everyone in this district, but there wîll be sadness for some whose folks are in hospital or who are suffering bereavement or who remain unemployed. Ail of aur heamts must go out ta them at this Christmas season as we pray that their burdens tao may be lightened. experienced persans. Apparently, the voters were quite content ta return thase who had semved previously. As a matter of fact, this tend almost formed a pattern in Bowmanville, Damlington, Newcastle, Clarke, Manvers, Cartwright and Hope and is an indication that the municipalities have either been well served in the past year or voters have attained a degmee of apatby unusual for this amea. Theme are many problems confronting Bowmanville especially in the coming year. Our greatest need undoubtedly is more industry and an expanded com- mercial area ta share the taxes wbich have been increasing rapidly on resi- dential pmaperty. There are signs ta indicate that there is hope in bath these directions. Under the leader.. ship of newly elected Mayor Wilfrid Carruthers and bis able Reeve W. D. Hig- gon and Deputy Jack Brough and assisted by bis council, we feel certain -that this town will continue ta take steps forward in ail f ields, as it bas done under Retiring Mayor Nelson E. Osborne. We wish the eiected well and assure thern of every cooperation, a sentiment whicb we are also happy ta extend ta cauncils in nearby communities. Let's Be Extra Careful Fire Chief Walter Hackney reminded us this week that it was timely ta warn citizens about the dangers of those intemior Christmas tree ligbts and decorations that will soon be going up ahl over the town and country. This town bas been fortunate in the past few years ta bave a low f ire loss and it would truly be a shame ta have that record spoiled because sameone forgot the basic precautions when installing lights. There is always danger wben trees become dnied out and lights are located close ta evergreens. The excessive heat may quite easily stamt a blaze that will be difficuit ta control before it bas done extensive damage. Chief Hackney especially' urges cit- izens ta turn off their tmee lights wben they are going out for an evening leaving the bouse unoccupied. Hie and everyane else will be happy, ta see yet another Christmas pass by witbout a f ire of any kind connected with decora- tions. It can be a joyful time of year if evemyone will be careful; otherwise in a few moments tmagedy could strike witbout wvarning. Mucb better ta make certain than ho sorry. 25 YEARS AGO <1933) Reeve W.

(-,etters Jo &I! i 8ctor Harmpton, Ont., Dec. 8th, 1958. Dear Mn. James: Sa many wise, unpnejudiced thoughts appear about national sangs and symbols that a simple- ton like me kçnaws not when and what ta sing. The Canada-phiIe republican minority seem ta have these following justifications. Queen Elizabeth stands in nio need ai saving"l in ber palace on the tigh t, little, sea-gint isie. God bas enough ai His pon chiidren ta save. - sa why burden Him unnccessarily. Then sureiy she must be bappy, with nothing useful ta do, but dress gloniaus- 1y. Anyway we bave queens aplenty in Canada, whosc gra- ciaus lines please us (men) well. Then if it wasn't a prayer, I might sing, but I prefer ballads. Speaking humbly, I too am no pharisce standing up in public ta pmay - but as a Christian I 44entcr into my> chamben, etc," and if time and memory permit- ted, I do pray for aur Qucen. 1 can't pray musicaily as yet. Then as a mene maie, wamen bave reigned aven us long enough - mather, wife, daught- qýr, Viictoria, Elizabeth - why pray for its pnolonging! When it cames ta defending aur better laws, we could do with heip, for we don't enter that task en- thusiasticaliy. If I were Irish 'Ithrough and through" or same- t.hing, I would sunely flot want any scion ai Scotch-Sassenach familv ta rule aven us. But for inyseif, trying "ta live at peace With ail men", I should defer ta thase Communists, Jehovah Witnesses, N.S.O.C.'s, Atheists, who are allergie ta The Nation- al AntLem. I like bath verses and ta sing it and hear it in many tangues and lands. O Canada, it's quite a sang ai-d O, O, O, 50 true, espceialiy the last verse, so likeable. How- ever, 1 already stood "on Guard" Don'f be caughl napping away your Christmas Shopping Days! For the very Desi Selections il always pays Io shop in your own Community for same years on seas and lands, - sa it seems my turn ta sit down, and caunt those hon- ourable souls who are really guarding the gaodiiness ai Canada, - whatever that means and demands. Besides, what remains ai my debased wealth is guarded withi Dew-lines, R.C.M.P., etc., (God bless them). It is a nice tune, wboever made it up, but the words: Tho' I am a native son, and none ai thase new Canad- ians - the words make me a hypocrite - knowing nat what he guards. Sa if I don't sing lustily, it is that I don't wish to show up these good "new" friend3 who don't know what the words mean, - and those other friends who mumble along, flot sure ai the words, I don't know anyone who knows the four verses - do you? What do you really guard, neighbour? This is sa childish, but it tries ta be sympathetic ta critics ai these fine things. Surely we have a place for aur National Anthcm and for many more patriatic sangs that wc have. (How rich the Scotch, Irish, Swiss, etc., are!) 'And when we sing let's flot be sa anxîous ta sip the champagne that we leave out the verses - the last. And let us flot waste sa much venom in guarding a sang, as ta have no brave wisdomn leit for pratecting aur land, aur ber- itage, aur laws and aur Canadian Queen. Fred J. Reed. 2552 Aima Rd, Vancouver 8, B.C. Dean George and Mrs. James, Since being with you in Bow- manville for the Centennial my thoughts have wandered yaur 0ei. A few years ago, the Liberal party had difficulty securing a candidate ta carry their banner in a Provincial election. Just when things were glooniiest, a chap named David Ford, real e.state broker, of Port Hope, of- fered bis services, was accepted, and defeated at the poils. Trhe only reason I mention this is to orient aur readers as to who Mr. Ford is, becauÉe it is nice to record that he has recent]y become an author, having written, anid had pub- lished, a book called "Peace af the Midnight Sun." This scribbler has neyer met the author, b4L did see him ann Tabloid, last week, when he was interviewed by Perey Saltzman, wha adroitly elicit- ed from Mr. Fard the fact that, until he was fourteen years of age. he had neyer seen a horse or train, because af having been born in Ungava, the son af a fur trader. His playmates were largely Eskimo children, and their toys were not the canven- tional ones that mast of our yaungsters are used ta, but were made of ivory and banc. He demonstratcd the Eskimo) sealing harpoon, whlch ilaa pretty nicely fashioned, ingen- lously contrivcd implement. Your scribe always suppased the harpoon ta be made ai steel, instead ai which it is ivary, and sa cunningly dcvised that when At enters the seal, the spear shaped head detaches It- self from the handle, turns side- ways in the wound, and hangs on ta the quarry, because the head is stili fastcned ta forty or fifty feet ai bLrong line. There wcrc many ather inter- esting tit-bits, taa. When Mr. Ford volunteercd ta be the Lib- eral candidate, and thus com- mit political suicide, many ai us thought he must be a bit 1'tetched", because it was a fore- gone conclusion that his appon- ent being, at that time, almost invincible, would win in a walk. But lîstening ta excerpts from his lîfe's stary, on Tabioid, I came ta the~ conclusion that, Bowmanville . where satisfaction is guaranteed.
