" .BOWMANVILLE Melbourne E. Turner, Representative. Phones: Ofice, 587; Res, 300 Eighty Rotarions Visit ys' Training School; "Are Well Entertained Marty Avail Themselves of| i Opportunity of Inspecting Buildings and Learning + Something of the Methods + 'Used in Training Young Canadian Citizens + (By Staff Reporter) Bowmanville, May 31.--Eighty Rotarians and their wives from 12 different clubs in Ontario paid a visit to the Boys' Training School, Bowmanville, yesterday afternoon for the purpose of lacking over the grounds and buildings, and to put into action the resolve of the Tor- onto Club, that a gynasium be- ing a necessity, should be erected. Every club represented was high- ly in favor of the new building, and within a short time, eirculars deseribing the school, the staff and the splendid work being done by such an institution will be mailed through the courtesy of the the Bowmanville Club to all clubs in Ontario, with a plea far a substan- tial donation towards the erection of the gymnasium inclosed, It 18 expected that the clubs will re- spond 100 per cent strongly in fa- wor of the project. In the first place, it was unaer the instigation of the local club at - Bowmanville that such a day at the schoo] wae arranged: The Bowmanville club sees and appre- ciates as perhaps no other distant club may have the opportunity, what a benefit the Boys' Training School is ta Ontario, to Canada ana to the Boys' Work Heard of the Province, It is in close contact with the operations of the school and has done much in the way of distributing helpful Informarion concerning the school since tha In. stitution began, r. G. Elmore Reaman, principal, has also cua- tributed his share in broadcasting the success of the Training School through contact with members of the Kiwanis, Rotary, and other service organizations throughout the province, and has given ad- dresses to many of these clubs, on the subject of the school. Luncheon Served ' Promptly at one o'clock the gathered guests were taken to the dining hall where a splendid lun- cheon -was served by the scouts of the school, the. Howard Fergu=un Troop. It was a real treat to watch the lads serve, which speaks well for the training along these lines which the hoys are receiving at the hands of the able instructors, Dur- ing the smeal Rotary songs were in order, which were led hy Mayor T. S. Holgate and Bdéb Aitchison, Prominent at the head table were Judge Mott, of Toronto, and judge of the Juvenile Court of that eity, George Hambly, also a Toronto Rotarian, President F, F. Morris, of the Bowmanville Club, Mayor T. 8. Holgate, of Bowmanville, J. H. H, Jury, of Bowmanville, and donor of the land on which the fine schoo] now stands, and others. There was practically enly one thing lacking that dampened the enthusiasm of those present. Dr. Reaman was unable to he present on account of the illness of a mem- her in the family and a move was accordingly made to convey the sympathy of the Rotarian body in general tn him, ' Musical Program During the lunch hour several of the boys of the schonl gave mus- ical numbers which displayed an- ed in' the school curriculum, THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, THURSDAY, MAY 31, 1928 An instrumental number "Paderewski's Minuet" was played by Jim Me. Vail. Paul Calajorie gave a man. dolin solo and George Belton a violin number, The efforts of the boys were applauded to the echo. It was announced that Cottage "B"" of the school, was soon to be re-named the "Jury Lodge' in hon- our of Mr, J. H. H, Jury. Following the luncheon, a gen- eral tour of inspection took place. Each building in turn was visited, and- the guests expressed much fa- vorable comment on the arrange- ment of the accommodations. One of the most impressive phy- sical demonstrations and one which caused wonderment for everyone was the manner in-which the boys performed their antics before the guests who were seated on camp chairs on the campus. Under the direction of Earle Cunningham, physical supervisor, the boys car- ried through a series of drills and physical .tests whieh were wonder- ful to say the least, and equal any exhibitions presented under out Y. M.C.A. organizations, Twenty minutes were filled with one stunt after another, which held the full attention of everyone there. Once back again in the Assémbly Hall, the boys showed yet another of their voeations, that of com- munity singing, Under the diree- tion this time of Frank Converse Smith, of Toronto, the hoys sang "Land of Hope and Glory" and impressed those listening in such a favorable way, that an encore was demanded. Mr, Smih has built up a splendid choir of the boys, and not long ago had the choir in part recital at the Bowmanville Opera House, where they were received with much splendid comment on their vocal energles. Judge Mott Speaks Judge Mott, well known through- out the Province for his interest in hoys' work, addressed the Ro- tarians on the history of the school, the fine work that was resulting from the inauguration of the school and also touched upon those un- derlying ideas that stirred the Ro- tary Clubs to action in the matter of the erection of an institution such as this, t Using the conversion of raw and unmanufactured products as an il- lustration, Judge Mott related the processes which these materials must necessarily go through before the finished product is produced. He pointed out the various methods which are utilized in the conserva- other field which is heigg develop- J CHEVROLET y Gl "Who Steals My Purse--" I A Good co So, I from me my me poor indeed," 0 the proper thought lid 1s play, "Othello."

But he laid great stress upon the fact that comserva- tion of 2hild life in its early stages was the greatest and most difi- cult problem which had to be eop- ed with at every turn, . The form- er and apparently greatest industry of the material world was second only, in comparison with the deli- cate, vet necessary, upbringing of the child in the correct envirom- ment. . "We are trying our best to con- serve the child who is averstep- ping the obstacles of life," stated Judge Mott. These are placed in the way of every individual, and what a temptation it is to some to disregard them for an easier and uhlawful path. T firmly believe and wish to emphasize the point that al] boys are not born equal, It is a fallacy that people are born equal. It is true that we have equal advantages, and therefore if we must make use of these ad- vantages, we must prevent inter. fering, those conditions which will hinder us from going ahead, A child's trend of character if laig before he is five years of age. "The one and mighty power that lies behind the constructing course 'of a child's life is the environment of that child," continued the speak- er. 'The problem brought before many courts and which these must face are those arising frowy whe unsuitable environments. I have yet to meet the hoy who is crim. inally inclined. 1 have met tne boy who has heen confronted with problems arising from a question- able environment as a background. Solving the Prohlem Out of all these questions arises the difficulty "Why can't we get under the problem?" The speak- er related the original plans for a test farm, which would deal with a limited number of bhoys' cases, and the success of the venture Fe- ported. Such a success, it was stated, were these farms, that plans were immediately laid for a large school of ultra-modern type at Bowmanville, following receipt of the word that Mr, J. H. H. Jury had donated the large and exten- sive land just outside Bowmanville limits. J. H, H. Jury then spoke, and with much favorahle comment to- wards the Bowmanville Boys' Training School, urged continued and increasing interest in boys' work, not only of this one centre, but in the whole province, It was given out that the Tor- onta Rotary Club are voting $10,- 000 towards the new gymnasium, an act which will again bring this project to the forefronf and keep it there. Other elubs will be ap- pealed to in proportion pf their size. Records of attendance at this meeting were stated as heing ex- ceedingly satisfying, although more members were expected from the distant centres of Rotaryism. Fifteen members were listed from Oshawa, six from Cobourg, 15 from Lindsay, 16 from Toronto, 9 from Port Hope, seven from Pe- terhoro, one from Ottawa, two from Woodstock, four from Welland, 2 from Guelph, 2 from Kitchener, and one from Brantford.

This play has de; lighted large audiences wherever it has previously been given and it js with interest and appreciation that citizens of this town herald its ap- proach. Not only are all the well-known singers of the town being assigned the leading parts, hut the theme of the musical comedy is such that it should merit popular patronage at its onc and only performance here on Tuesday. Those in the cast include Henry J. Knight who will act as the judge, Reta Cole Dudley, who is put in as the plaintiff, George S. Chase, the council, Melyille S. Dale who is cast in the difficult role as the defendant, S. H. Glanville, who will act as fore- man of the jury and C. M. Carro- thers who is the usher. ' The playlet is being staged under the personal supervision of Mrs. J. Clark Bell, Mrs. Munroe A. Neal will act as accompanist. Besides those names mentioned above, there are to be a score of others who will appear-in lesser roles, although most important to bring about the final success of the play. A splendid program besides the "Trial By Jury" has been arranged which commands thé best talent ob- tainable for this occasion. Those contributing these Jatter numbers will be A. E. Hircock, Ian R. M. Robertson, Helen Bunner, F. Con- verse, C. S. Hallman. This chance to see and hear 2 play of this type is indeed a privilege, and it is hoped that the efforts of the producers will be amply repaid for presenting the "Trial By Jury."

May Jl--Fred Cat- terley, 18, recently of the Fegan Home, Toronto, sustained serious in- juries when he had his backbone dis- located on the farm of 'Walter Rick- ard last Monday when a team. of horses became frightened and bolted. According to reports, Catterley had been driving the team all through the day in the field, where he was operat- ing a spreader. He evidently lost a rein, and on trying to retrieve it, must have frightened the horses which started to run away. Catterley then rushed around to the front of the team and seizing the bridle, attempt- ed to halt them. He was successful, and the horses trampled on him, It was stated that the wagon passed over him, The horses, according te Mr, Rick- ard, are not excitable generally and have not been known to do such a thing before, but it is a known fact that certain actions on the part of the driver often stir horses to in- stantaneous action, quite on the spur of the moment. Catterley was not in the least afraid of the team, he having handled animals in this way before. Dre. Hazlewood and Burke were called and the lad removed to the Bowmanville Hospital where it is stated that he is resting as comfort- ably as can be expected. X-ray ex- aminations have been made and the Farmer Has Backone Dislocated; Falls Under a Runaway Team in Field results of these are not as vet known, but it is believed no further injuries were received. It is a general practice in Efgland to scize the Bridie of horses and teams in case of an accident of this kind, The Times was informed last night, but in Canada for some reason or other ,this idea does not work out. To check a frightened animal, the best thing to do would be to allow the latter to spend its energy in the wild dash ,or to manage an effective check from the rear. To attempt to halt a team from in front tends to further infuriate the animal. It was said that one of the horses was hurt slightly. Mr. Catterley is described as a heavily built youth reaching six feet in height. TIRE COMES OFF AND MOTORCYCLE CRASHES IN DITCH, TWO HURT (By Staff Reporter) Bowmanville, May 31--The motor- cycle owned and driven by Lawrence Goddard, Welling street, Bowman- ville, and carrying "Frenchy" Des- jorges on the rear seat, crashed down over the side of the Kingston High- way near here at noon yesterday when the Aront tire slipped off the wheel. Minor injuries were received by both cyclists. They were both able to go to work in the afternoon however. 1 Injuries were mainly about the legs which naturally received the brunt of the fall. It was stated that several stitches were needed to close wounds in Dgsjorges legs.
