BOWMA NVILLE Melbourne E. Turner, Representative Chamber of Commerce Plan Membership Drive J. H. H. Jury and Dr, D. W. Joomtort station was brought to the Best Were Appointed to Name a Committee to Or. ganize Campaign -- Dis. cuss the Overhead Bridge West of the Town (By Staff Reporter) Bowmanville, April 27.--A large number of business men and citizens attended the general meeting of the Bowmanville Chamber of Commerce held in the Council Rooms Friday. Although not much headway was gained with the questions which were brought up, they were thoroughly discussed, and in many instances new and favorable views brought out. The president, J. Carrothers, was in the chair. In connection with the proposed membership drive, J. H, H, Jury and Dr. D. W, Best were elected to ap- point a committee for this campaign. A letter from the Quebec Board of Trade was read concerning the Third Annual Convention of Canadian Chambers of Commerce. The letter was received and filed, One of the main discussions cen- tered around the overhead bridge at the west end of the town. It is gen- erally known that this bridge is a source of danger to motorists, that it is one of the most irregular con- traptions conceivable, and that it cuts off a direct soute from the highway to the town, which before its erec- tion was straight. M. Neal aroused the interest of the members by stating that a committee should be appointed at once to look into the matter in detail. He stated that the C.P.R. board turned down the problem of the erection of a new bridge. He also said that if the council would co-operate on the ques- tion, some head-way might be gain- ed, and favoured connection with the Ontario Motor League, the Chamber of Commerce here and perhaps the Oshawa Chamber of Commerce to put the project through. It was remarked that the C.P.R. built the bridge before the govern. ment took over the highway and that the bridge itself was inside the cor- poration, As far as any co-operation with the C.P.R. is concerned, noth- ing may be expected to materialize, Road officials say that it is purely and simply "up to the Provincial Gov- ernment." However, they favor the town with the optimistic reply that after the term of the bridges' duration is up, which is supposed to be 20 years, they might consider co-operation for the erection of a new bridge and the straightening of the road, The end of the term will be in 1932, Further discussion took place over the placing of a strong steel cable along the southern side of the road on the guard posts. At the present time there is nothing to stop a car from crashing over the large em- bankment except two thin cables and a number of posts. An accident at this sharp turn would mean a prob- able fatality, It was moved and seconded that the matter be left en- tirely in the hands of a committee, Some mention was made of a park in the central part of the town but po action was. taken, The question of a centru:ly located attention of the members and proved to. be one of the foremost problems to cope with today. It was re marked that the Town Hall would not be adequate for the placement of such a station the argument be- ing that the Hall has only one en-, trance and not being convenient. A suggestion of a small brick building with modern conveniences would be splendid for summer but not for winter, It was brought te view that the original plans of the Town offices had a doorway placed under the Lebrary Room, and that the north side of the building was barred from such an entrance be- ing made by the weigh scales. It was moved that a letter be sent from the Chamber of Commerce to the Town Council to the effect that a committee from the latter body meet a committee chosen from the C. of C, to look into the matter thor- oughly. The motion passed. The campaign for wrapped bread proved to be lengthy and represen- tatives from both bakeries in town as well as from the Dominion Stores were present. Upon inquiry to Mr. Corbett, it was learned that the standard price of bread is eleven cents, and at this price it is delivered for long distances in some cases, Co-operation with the public was the baker's aim, A loaf! of wrapped bread, stated Mr, Cor- bett would necessarily cost twelve cents, and that the public would not pay the extra two cents to secure the wrapped loaf, C. W, Jacobs, local baker, agreed with the statements of Mr. Corbett, saying that the cost of wrapping and cutting the sheets which is all done in the shops here make it inadvis- able to wrap the bread and sell it at twelve cents per loaf. If the price was to remain lower for the wrapped loaf, inferior flour would have to be used, whieh was against the princi- ples of either baker, M, Minore turned the tide of dis- cussion to another reason for public demand for wrapped bread. He sta- ted that the way in which drivers handle the bread after being around the wagons, and harnesses caused much of the objection from the cus- tomers. : Both Mr, Corbett and Mr, Jacobs answered that they keep after their drivers to observe cleanliness in the strictest degree, and that in most cases appMances were utilized for this purpose, The matter was brought to a conclusion by the moving and seconding of a motion that.a com- mittee he called upon to get into touch with the bakers, and that the matter of wrapped bread be left over until the public demanded it. The problem whith is a much dis- cussed one in the town, and which has caused much concern amongst buginess men as well as private homes, is the long delays responsible for much loss of temper at the cen- tral telephone office. A, M. Hardy stated that the local office is due to have the battery system in three years time but other members 'raised the question of the delay until then, The point was raised by Dr, Best that unless both parties in a conver- sation ring off at the conclusion of their talk, central has no way of knowing that the wires are not be- ing used. This occasions frequent breaking in upon conversations by central for the purpose of knowing Wfodosfosfoniosles" shpfonfosdrslostands Watson's Summer Underwear -f or=-- The best known, The best quality and the best value for the least money paid--that's Watson's Under- wear, Everybody has heard of it and nearly every- body has worn Lingerie Garments made by the Wat- son Manufacturing Company.

The committee chosen was George Chase, C. A. Smith and H. A. Neal, Although severalsless important problems came up for discussion, no action was taken on them. One of these was the organized collection of garbage in the town. Arguments for and against this matter took place, but at the end the question remained fairly well where it was begun. OODFELLOVS IN BOWNANVILLE PAY TRIBUTE T0 DEAD Commemorate Memory of _ Those Who Gave Lives in Great War (By Staff Reporter) Bowmanville, April 29.--The Bowmanville Branch of the Inde- pendent Order of Oddfellows par- » Cruise of A Vacation's a hii thrills rT day to roof the world and backs i gla- N. R. Joh on, City Passenger Agent, 11 King St. East aded to the War Cenotaph next to the Town Hall at precisely 11 o'clock this morning and placed a large magnificent wreath at the those of this town who lost their lives in the Great War, Members lo the number of more than 200 were present, some coming from Oshawa and other outside points, After prayer while the Oddfel- lows stéod around the cenotaph in & circle, J. J, Mason gave a short address on the importance of such an occasion, and spoke on the com- memoration of the war's ending. The hymn 'Nearer My God To Thee" was sung at the monument. After the ceremony at the Con- otaph, the members paraded to Trinity United Church in a body, where they occupied the 1ront sec- tion of the auditorium. Rev, J, U. Robins, pastor, preached an inspiring sermon to the members of the Order, relating what a great work the latter was doing in the community and also fv the world at large, He told cou- cerning the aims of the lodge, and tho egtent of membership which he sald, was a wonderful thing for humanity, . Rev, Robins essayed the opinion tL:t the Order of Oddfellows stands as a direct instrument for God, that selfish ends were not on the toler- ated, and that the Order was one of service, even sacrifice, Their ob- jects, he remarked, were to visit the sick, to relieve the distressed, educate the orphans and help their fellowmen. "The parable of the Good Sam- aritan'" stated the speaker, "was one which might easily illustrate the aims of the Oddfellows, Taking for an example, 4 young lc "yer wha asked tne qucstion of Jesus "What shall I do to inher eternal lite?" the problem arose as to what constituted a true and loyal life, "It is a subject which should interest everyone," sall Rev. Rob- ins, "The reply of Je is wes that the answer was contained in the laws", 'Thou shalt love the Lord Thy God wit" all thy heart, with all thy soul, and w! " all thy might, and thy neighbour as thyself'. "This, do", the Lord says "and thou shalt live". Life everlasting will be given to those who give heed unto the law set forth by the Lord, The next question arises, And Who is my neighbour?" The story was told of the Good Samaritan, who journeyed from Jerusalem, to Jerico, and fell among thieves, who st ipped hin. of his raiment, and left him to die by the roa ide, The Samaritan, an enemy by coun- try, gave attefition to this man, cared for him, and saw, that his needs were looked after, was this man's neighbour. "Sheer need renders a man our neighbour" the speaker pointed out, "and in this way we begin to see how broad life really becomes. Men stands to man in mutual sym- pathy according to this parable of the Lord Jesus Christ," Touching on the formation of the League of Nations, ReV. Robins sald that other men and other na- tions must be tonsidered so that a firm tie might be the result to ren- der the energy of war useless. The League settles differences without the shed of blood. A Union of Christendom, with one church, one government and co-operation by every individual will be the only thing to produce harmony and {rise in God's sight, worthy of hat great sacrifice which was given for us, "That the strong should suc- cour the week" the speaker went on to say "is a-great factor to the living in God's way, and I under- stand the Order here preaches and uses this great principle", The brotherhood of man and the Love of God is the same thing. Where brotherhood is, there also is the love of the Lord, which reaches out and takes everything into its hold. There is nothing that God is interested in so much as men and women, the speaker said. "Thus the conception that your God is my God, your Saviour is My Saviour, and that your neighbour is my neighbour, is a true concep- ton," concluded the speaker, CANADIAN ART IN PARIS Paris, April 30.--Canadian art- ists exhibiting in the Societe Na- tionale des Beaux Arts Section of the Spring Salon, which opened Friday are: John Russell, Toronto, tow paintings; Katharine Wallis, Peterboro, two paintings; Evelyn Reading, Smith, Ont., one drawing; Caroline Armington, Brampton, Ont., two engravings; Robert Ful- ton Logan, Winnipeg, four engrav- ings. foot of the great monument, for' acifie -- TRADE BRISK ON SATURDAY NIGHT, (By Staff Reporter) Bowmanville, April 29,--Satur- day evening was the first real busy night for shopping this year.

Merchants re- p rted business exceptionally good, Reports from va fous outlying districts state that road conditions have improved considerably during the last week and it is a fairly easy thing for farmers to use the un- paved roads. The moisture which was the cause of so many spring holes and muddy ruts, out of which it was practically impossible to get a car under its own power, is rapid- ly disappearing, and the roads are being put into fine shape by scrap- ers and smoothers, Already there are a number of these latter at work on the side roads out of Bow- manville, A husband is a large, loutish per- son who had to fasten the picture 4 oc into the molding because standing on the top of the step- ladder makes her dizzy.-- Detroit News, -------- Reduction in Price of Milk For the months of May, June, July and August, Per Quart 12¢ Per Pint - 6c 16 pint tickets for 96¢ nd Universal Cleaners and Dyers For ho $100 Office and Plant 123% King St. W.
