BOWMANV Melbourne E. Turner, Representative IN ALL CHURGHES Marked By Special Music and Inspiring Dis. (By Staff Reporter) Bowmanville, April 8.--Easter, the most impressive season in the year, was solemily and fittingly observed in all the churches of the town today. Special music and many flowers were used in the Houses of God on Easter Sunday. In cach case the minister gave his address on the subject constantly in mind, at one service, the "Resur- rection." The fine thought that ac- companies Easter was the one pre- dominant in the carrying out of ser- Yices in commemoration of the risen ord. The Crucifixion, one of the sacred dedications to the Easter season was sung by Holy Trinity Choir at St. John's Anglican Church last Thurs- day. No more fitful impression could have been conveyed than = by that given through the hearing of this wonderful masterpiece. A sacred cantata, the "Olivet to Calvary" was presented at Trinity United Church on Good Friday evening by the choir of that church. Truly, citizens of Bowmanville were extremely fortunate in being able to hear these two Easter musi- cal presentations. The beautiful sea- son was rightfully observed in Bow- manville. EASTER'S MEANING BASIS OF SERMON Dr. D. W. Best Delivers a Fine Discourse in St. Paul's Church (By Staff Reporter) Bowmanville, April 8. "The Meaning of Easter" was the subject of Dr, D. W. Best's sermon at St. Paul's United Church Sunday morn- ing. In keeping with the Easter sea- son the sermon was a splendid ex- ample of the meaning of the term in a religious sense, "The yearly celebration of Easter throughout Christendom is the Church's re-affirmation of its faith in the risen and ever-living Lord," stat- ed the speaker. "In our part of the world Easter coincides with the early approach of spring marked as it is by the myriad signs of the renewal or rather the continuance of life in all that seemed dead and dormant through the cold winter months. us a happy accident affording as it does, a symbal in the world of na- ture, of the abiding lite or the spirit in Jesus Christ, and in all who live the Union with Him. "It is to be observed that the first Easter was much more than a sym- bol," Rev. Best continued. "It is among the great realities of human history. In the record of the first days of the Christian movement one fact stands out clearly--that the dis- ciples underwent an experience which convinced them that the Lord was risen, "Their fellowship with Him which had been interrupted for a brief sea- son was now resumed, although He was no longer an outward and visible presence. But this renewed fellow. ship is of the highest significance, It is true He had been a matchless tea- cher and had given incomparable ex- ERE EEE REE TY EEE RY reach of one and all. for this week, each , , .

He had been a living person to whom they had been irresistibly attracted--who had become their spiritual master and Lord as well as guide, friend and ector. He had been to them the wer of God. In Him they had found God and God only, God's good- ness and kindness, God's purity and strength and seli-sacrificing love. Now He was with them again. They were His servants, as before, and could depend upon His aid and direc- tion, "In this belief that they were co-op- erating with the Living Master we can find the sccret of that enthusi- asm which carried them to victory. They were engaged in the service, not of a rule or tradition however sacred, but of the Kring, Chist They sought to continue in His fellowship through a sense of His inward pre- sence. 'Wherever two are gathered together in My Name, then am I in the midst of them." These words de- scribe the faith that was central in the minds of the earliest followers of our Lord. ; "It should not be otherwise with us today. He is the power of God-- God manifest in the flesh. In Him, as in no other figure of human his- tory, we make experience of that goodness which shames our sin, of that love that makes our hearts thrill when Paul sings of it--the love that suffers long and is kind--refusing to abandon us. In Him is that genero- sity that gives without thought of re- compense, and that unfaltering will which is at one with the good. "His world conquering faith sup- orts and strengthens our feeble aith," stated the minister. "To see Him, not as in a doctrine, but as a vivid reality, as He lived His life-- to see Him as our Friend and Mas- ter and to have fellowship with Him so, is to share with Him in self-re- verence, selg-knowledge, self-control, truthfulness and honor, fair play and fidelity to obligations, a conscience for human needs and indignation at public wrongs and above all that kind of honesty which dreads the lie in the soul even more than the lie on the lips. ; ; "If we can put our trust in the jus- tice, mercy, kindness, generosity, self-sacrifice, service of God, and our neighbor for which Jesus stands, concluded Dr, Best, "we shall have found that which gives our human life its meaning and its glory, When Je- sus thus becomes living and real-- vital to us, then it is Easter," COUNTRY ROADS ARE IMPASSABLE Condition of East Road to Lake Improved By New Bridge (By Staff Reporter) Bowmanville, April 11, -- Roads in the vicinity of Bowmanville, and probably many other localities in the district are practically impassable, In many cases they are impassable. The roads to the lake are in the worst condition that they have been for years. Credit must however be given to the responsible parties for build- ing another bridge on the east road where before there was but a wood- en structure. This place was in rea- lity a trap to motorists, and during the spring floods the wooden bridge was often washed away. It has been reported that a number of accidents and more than one casualty has been caused by this condition. Lal However, the new structure is in the form of a cement bridge.

FREIGHT ENGINES CRASH HEAD-ON Three Members of the Crew Are Injured at Acton Acton, April 8. -- Two C.N.R. train crews had a narrow escape from death early Sunday morning when a through freight from To- ronto crashed head-on into a shunt ing locomotive at the limit of the Acton yards. Jumping for their lives a mo- ment before the terrific impact, Engineer Jack Sutherland and Fireman © Bill Cunningham, of Stratford, on the shunting train, escaped with a shaking up, but the Palmerston crew, on the westbound train, still in their cab when the giant engine toppled over on its side, suffered more or less serious injuries, which neces- sitated their immediate removal to the Guelph General Hospital. Engineer Joseph Harrington, and Fireman Clark Ross were picked up unconscious after the crash, the former with severe head in- juries and the latter with a frac- tured le g. Trainman Stanley Hobson, riding on the caboose, was thrown with considerable force to the floor and sustained a badly injured back, The smash occurred practi- cally on a switch about 200 yards east of the depot, Evidently the engineer of the westbound freight thought he could clear in time, while Suther- land was apparently of the opin- ion that the oncoming freight would stop before pulling into the yards. The shunting engine had clear- ed the siding by only a few feet when the collision took place. In the meantime realizing that a smash was inevitable, Sutherland and Cunningham jumped. Coming, as it was, at a report- | ed fast rate of speed, the lighter Toronto engine was hurled from the rails, toppling on its side, with its boiler head driven com- pletely out and the tender teles- coping the cab. All the cars on both trains remained on the tracks and were undamaged. How the two men on the en- gine escaped being crushed to death is a mystery, The heavier locomotive, driven back into the siding, suffered min- or damage, Wrecking trains from Toronto and Stratford were on the scene within an hour and a half after the collision, and the line cleared before any interruption to traffic resulted, Divisional Superintendent W. J. Piggott and Assisstant Superin- tendent Thos. Renick accompanied the auxiliary crew from Strat- ford in the former's private car and made a personal investigation. Conductor Jack Callahan of Stratfiord was in charge of the slowly moving train, which was preparing to pull out for Toronto and Conductor 8S. Morton com- manded the incoming freight. WILL ACCEPT MORE FOREIGN MOVIE FILMS Paris, April 8. -- The French film control comimttee has decided to ad- bere to the principle that only jour foreign pictures shall be approved for each French film sold abroad. At its meeting on Thursday, however, it adopted an additional provision to accept 200 pictures from outside dur- ing the year, beginning Jan. 1, irre- spective of this quota. This action jis regarded in Ameri- can moving picture circles here as preparation for negotiations between the committee and Will Hays, head of the Motion Pictures Producers' Association, United States, and as giving a breathing spell for Ameri- can pictures until an understanding is reached. It is thought that under this ar- rangement there will be practically 10 restrictions on American films for a few months, SMYRNA IS AGAIN ALARMED BY SUBTERRANEAN NOISES Constantinople, April 8.--Smyr- na, not yet fully recovered from the recent heavy earthquake there, was thrown into a renewed state of uneasiness yesterday when faint subterranean rumblings were heard. : Advices state that in some plac- es jets of boiling water of a red- dish tinge spurted from the | ground.. Helen CHAPTER XXVI AT THE CALL OF THE WHISTLE Everywhere in Millsburg the shooting of Captain Charlie was the of epecch. topic of conversation. As the Jue Sor éf the cigar stand came and went they talked with the phil- osopher of nothing else. The dry- goods pessimist deliverad his dark predictions to a group of his fellow citizens and listen with grave shakes of his head to the counter opinions of the real-estate agont. The grocer questioned the garage man and the lawyer discuesed "the known details of the tragedy with the postmaster, the hotel keeper and the politician. The barber asked the banker for his views and reviewed the Sancier 3 opinion is the judge while a farmer an the Lia listened. The milliner 01d her customers about it and the stenographer discussed it with the bookkeeper. In the homes, on the streets, and, later im the day, throughout the country, the shock of the crime was felt, : Meanwhile, the efforts of the po- lice to find the assassin were fruit- les, The most careful search re- vealed nothing in the naturg of a tlew. Milleburgh had been very proud of Captain Martin and the honors he had won in France, as Mills- burgh was proud of Adam Ward and his succes--only with a differ- ent pride. The people had known Charlie from his birth, as they had known his father and mother all their years. There had been noth- ing in the young workman's life--as every one remarked--to lead to such an end.. It is doubtful if In the eatire community there was a single soul that did not secretly or openly think of the tragedy as being in some dark way an outcome of the strike. And, gradually, as the day passed, the conjectures, opinions and views crystallized into two op- posing theories--each with its nat- ural advocates, One division of the people held that the deed was commited by some one of Jake Vodell's follow- ers, because of the workman's known opposition to a sympathetic strike of the Mill workers' union, Captain Charlie's leadership of the Mill men was recognized by all, and it was conceded generally that it was his active influence, guidad by the Interpreter's counsel, that was keeping John Ward's employees at work. Without the assistance of the Mill men the strike leader could not hope for victory. With Cap- tain Charlie's personal influence no longer a factor, it was thought that the agitator might win the majority of the MiH workers and so force the union into line with the strik- Bs, This opinion was hald by many of the business men and by the more thoughtful members of the unions, who had watched with grave apprehension the increasing bitterness of the agitator's hatred of Captain Charlie, because of the workman's successful opposition to his schemes, : The opposing theory, which was skillfully advanced by Jake Vodell himself and fostered by hig follow- ers, was that the mysterious assas- sin was an agent of Mclver's and that the deed was committed for the very purpose of charging the strikers with the crime and thus turning public sympathy against them . This view, so plausible to the minds of the strikers, prepared, ag they were, by hardship and suffer- ing, found many champions among tho Mill men themselves, Not a few of those who had stood with Char- lie in hig opposition to the agitator and against their union joining the strike now spoke openly with bitter feeling against the employer class The weeks of agitation--the con- stant pounding of Vodell's argu- ments--the steady fire of his ora- tory and the continual appeal to their class loyalty made it easy for them to stand with their fellow- workmen, now that the issue was being go clearly forced, So the lines of the industrial bat- tle were drawn closer--the oppos- ing forces were massed in more de- finite formation --the feeling was more intense and bitter, In the gloom and bush of the impending desperate struggle that was forced upon it by the emissary of an alien organization, this little American city waited the coming of the dark messenger to Captain Charlie, It wag felt by all alike that the work- man's death would precipitate the crisis. And through it all the question most often asked was this, "Why was the workman, Charlie Martin, at the gate to Adam Ward's estate at that hour of the night?" To this question no one ventured even the sugegstion of a satisfactory answer, All that day Helen kept her watch beside the wounded man. Others were there in the room with ber, but she seemed unconscious of their presence. She made mo at- tempt, now, to hide her love. There was no pretense--no evasion. Op- anly, before them all, she silently acknowledged him--her man-- and to his claim upon her surrend- ered herself without reserve. James Mclver called but would not see him. When they urged her to retire and rest, she answered always with the same words: "I must be here when he awakens--I must." And they, loving her, undenstood. it was as if the assassin's hand bad torn aside the curtain of mater- ial circumstances and revealed sud- denly the realities of their inner lives. , They realized now that this wan, who had in their old-house days won the first woman love of his girl playmate, had held that love against all the outward changes she | that had taken her from him. John and his mother knew, mow, why Helen had never said "Yes" to Jim Mclver. Peter Martin and Mary knew that, in Capt. Charlie's heart, there had seemd to be no place for of the Old House By HAROLD BELL WRIGHT, any woman save his sister, At intervals the man on the bed moved uneasily, muttering low words and disconnected fragmeats Army words--some of them were--as if his spirit lived for the moment again in tha Selds of France. At other times the half- formed phrases were of his work-- the strike--his home. Again lg spoke his sister's name or murmur. ed, "Father," or "John." But not once did Helen catch the word she longed to hear him speak. It was as if, even in his unconscious men- tal wanderings, the man still guard- ed the name that in secret he had held most dear, Three times during the day he opened his eyes and looked abou! --wonderingly at first--then a; though he understood. As one contented and at peace, he smiled and drifted again into the shadows But now at times his hand wen! out toward her with a little move- ment, as though he were feeling for her in the dark . About midnight he seemed to be sleeping so naturally that they per suaded Helen to rest, At daybreak she was again at her post. Mrs, Ward and Mary had gone, In thelr turn, for an hour or two of sorely needed rest, Peter Martin was within call downstairs. John, who was watching with his sister, had left the room for the moment and Helen was at the bedside alone, Suddenly = through the quiet morning alr came the deep-toned call of the Mill whistle, As a soldier awakens at the sound of the morning bugle, Cap- tain Charlie opened his eyes. Instantly she was bending over him, As he looked up into her face she called his name softly, She saw the light of recognition come Into his eyes. She saw tha glory of his love, "Helen," he said--and "Helen." It was as if the death that claim. ed him had come also for her. For the first time in many months the voice of the Mill was not heard by the Interpreter in his little hut on the cliff, Above the silent buildings the smoke cloud hung like a pall, From his wheel chair the old basket maker watch- ed the long procession moving slowly down the hill. There were no uniforms in that processlon--no military pana with muffled drums led that solemn march--no regimental colors in honor of the dead. There were no trappings of war--no material ceremony, And yet, to the Inter- preter, Captain Charlie died in the service of his country as truly as it he had been killed on the feld of battle, Long after the funeral procession had passed beyond his sight, the Interpreter sat there at the win. dow, motionless, absorbed Ip thought, Twice silent Billy cams to stand beside his chair, but be did not heed, His head was bow: ed, His great shoulders stooped His hands were idle. There was a sour knocking at the door. The Interpreter did not hear. The sound was repeated, and this time he raised his head ques: tioningly. Again it came and the old basket maker called, "Come in." The door opened, Jim McIver en: tered, again, uL some one (To be Coutinued) FIRE HAZARD IS IMMINENT PERIL Ontario Minister Addresses Chief Rangers and Foresters Sudbury, Ont., April 8. -- Declar- ing that the fire hazard along the railways in the Cochrane, Hearst and Kapuskasing districts was the most serious problem that he had met with during his term of office, Hon. Wil- liam Finlayson, Minister of Lands and Forests, started the afternoon session of the Chief Rangers and For- esters of Eastern Ontario in session bere on Wednesday with his descrip- tion of the conditions. "A cloud is hanging over our heads which might wipe out Kapuskasing, Kzarst and Cochrane," the minister stated. "All the conditions are bad up there" Slashings, he said, were left along the railways. He stated that when he went there he felt like asking the railways to "fire" all the men responsible and haye all the men in his department from that section dismissed. "I am not exaggerating," he said. "I am more worried by this than any- thing I have met in the department. "The people in the towns are in- different because they do not realize the danger," he continued. "The bi- shop reminded me he would send out a pastoral letter to the French-Cana- dians." The minister proposed to start a publicity campaign immediate- ly and stated that the Government was willing to spend any money ne- cessary to avert the danger. "We are faced with the possibility of losing those three towns jin one week," he stated. "I realize that the land department is partly to blame." He pointed out that the department had been robbed extensively in that district. "Hun- dreds of thousands of cords of pulp- wood have been stolen," he stated. "We are taking steps to recover a portion of it." PRESENTED WITH SHAMROCKS Hamilton, Ont., Apr, 8. -- Judge John G.

The presentation was made by M. J.

DISCUSSES WOMEN OF MIDDLE AGES Considered Inferior to Men, Noted Historian Declares Montreal, April 8 -- Medieval thinkers regarded woman as inferior to man in reason and strength, exist- ing only as a factor in the perpetua- tion of the species, and entirely in- capable of doing anything that man could achieve, Dr. T. F. Tout, Fel low of the British Academy, histo- rian, who is in Montreal this week, told an audience that filled Moyse Hall, McGill University, to capacity this morning, during the course of an address on the status of women in aiedieval times. Dr. Tout indicated that women in the middle ages while in theory re- garded as men's inferiors in every way, were able in individual cases to break away {from the restrictions placed upon them. He cited Joan of Arc as the great example, and placed before his audience recent evidence which he had uncarthed in the records of the University of Pa- ris which showed that women attain- ed great height in the practice of me- dicine and surgery in medieval Paris and were persecuted for this by the Faculty of Medicine. Men Had Jurisdiction "All political administration of the state emerged out of the household establishment of the rulers," Dr. Tout declared at the outset of his address, "The same people who made the ihe v { ! king's bed, who kept his clothing tidy also kept the king's treasury, which they locked up in a small box in his bed-room." What had particularly impressed the speaker was that men had all jurisdiction in these house- holds and that even in households where women were the ruling power men conducted all the affairs. In examining the entire subject, Dr. Tout said, there were two aspects On the 'one hand it was necessary to sce how women were regarded in theory, and then to se what actually followed out in prac- tice. St. Thomas Aquinas finds that wo- men are to be regarde as the help- mates of man, but not generally so, only in the matter of perpetuating the race. Man only is appointed to the noble works of life. He has a greater reasoning power than there 1s in woman, and therefore woman is a subject of man. The woman is more guilty of original sin than the man, said St. Thomas, and as evi- dence referred his students to Gene- sis, chapter three. Particularly did he take this atti- tude in connection with women and the state, urging Aristotle's view that political life is destroyed when politi- cal power goes to women. In Practice In practice these theories had con- siderable variation. The profession of arms open to men as the great pro- fession of the middle ages could have no following among women, and did not have with one or two exceptions notably Joan of Arc who was not so oreat a general as a personality. The C. urch, too, was closed to women, since they could. not be clerks nor hold positions. Nuns in the middle ages were merely recluses, cutting themselves off from life. So that here, too, there were no great fields. The only way in which women really rose to great heights was through the ownership of property, and in this instance he cited Alice Lacy, who with her husband jointly held five earldoms in England, and Lady Elizabeth Clair, who held the great Gloucester lands and who did many great works, including the endowing of a college at Cambridge. In brief, medieval women held with few exceptions no positions. They were cloistered, cut off from the world. But recent investigation has revealed that the exceptions were not so few as might be expected, and was very fl Was Very Satisfied With Results Alberta Lady was Restored to Health and Strength much worn out from hard work and my Kidneys and of Ki DODD'S KIDNEY od | § 8 3 3 E Dr. Tout indicated that here lay an interesting field for study. DEATH ASKED FOR KIDNAPPERS Three Confess to Part in Abducting Auto Dealer for Ransom Chicago, April 8.--~Confessions obtained by police today from three of the seven men arrested in con- nection with the kidnapping of Thomas Gaynor, wealthy automo- bile dealer and hotel owner, show- ed the gang had definite plans for abducting a score or more Chicag- oans fer ransoms totalling $1,- 000,000, This information came from William ("Big Bill") Lewis, iden- tified by police as a gambler, form- er saloonkeeper and the *"go-be- tween" in negotiations for Gay- nor's ransom of $100,000, Admissions from the three clear- ed not only the Gaynor case, au- thorities said, but several in De- troit, Three more members of the ring are being sought, chief among them Harold Conliffe, gangster, believed to be the ringleader.
