Follow­ ing the customs of many years, the club members each invited a child whose Christmas would not possibly be Of the happiest, and entertained them on this occasion. The atten­ dance, which included a number of the members as guests of the evening, numbered more than 60. The earlier part of the evening was devoted to the singing of some splendid Christmas carols and later a program of instrumctals, vocal numbers and a charming little play was thoroughly enjoyed by all. Following the program the hostess led her guests to the spacious recre­ ation rooms.which were delightfully "dicbfaleifTor Christmas a'ntTTh whlth a splendid Christmas tree, also pret­ tily trimmed, held place of honor.

I. Social Evening Juvenile Hockey Club Formed Here A juvenile hockey club was or­ ganized at a meeting held last Wed­ nesday evening at the store of S. M. Douglas & Sons. A factor which it is believed will create more than^Xhe usual interest on behalf of the juv­ enile team is that the town is not likely o have representation in the O. H. A. by either a junior or inter­ mediate Jeam. Based upon the inter- i eat that existed for the past two I seasons it is felt that if the young­ sters’maintain the standard of play­ ing performance they will be ac­ corded encouraging support. This is believed possible, as the majority of last season’s players will be avail­able. It was announced that the team hca outfits from last season as well as a mall surplus. The following officers were fleeted: Honorary presidents, Dr. R. A. Williams, Dr. L. W. Staple*, E. A. Wlbon, R. B. Hutt, R. A. Stone; president, A. J. Kennedy; vice-presi­ dent, James Milne; secretary-treas­ urer, Howard Araeltine; manager, H. D. Riseborough; coach, Geo. Haye*;I trainer, J, Sterling.

NEWMAN I Page 2 THE INGERSOLL TRIBUNE,' THURSDAY, DEC. 23,1937THE INGERSOLL TRIBUNE■ W. R. VEALE, PublisherPHONES:—Tribune Office, 18 • Residence, 442A.THURSDAY, DECEMBER 23rd, 1037 The Children’s Day Nineteen hundred and thirty-seven years ago three Kings came out of the East, guided by a star, seek­ ing the cradle of a new-born child. They followed the star to Bethlehem, and there, before the manger in a stable where lay the infant Jesus, they laid the precious gifts which their caravans had brought. Of all the Biblical legends, this story of the Three Kings and their gifts on that first Christmas has ttic greatest appeal. It h>s been perpetuated through the ages in the custom of making the Christmas season a time for giving. Not all of the Christinas giving is done in conscious commemoration of the birth of Christ, but the custom does carry, even with the un­ thinking, something of the spirit of “Peace on Earth to Men of Good Will” which is tho essence of Christmastide.It is peculiarly meet and fitting that this should be, above everything else, the children’s special holiday. What parent does not rejoice in the privilege, on this annual festival, the greatest of all Christian festivals, of laying gifts at the feet of the children, as the the Kings of the East laid theirs at the feet of One whom they recognized as the King*of Kings? The Child was King in Bethlehem. Now, for a sea­ son, the child is King again, and all the world lays treasure at his feet. For the child of today will be the man or woman of tomorrow, nnd who can say which one of them may become a King among his kind. That is the mystery of childhood, that we know the child will grow into something different but into what we cannot foresee. So let everyone pay homage and lay gifts at the feet of the children on Christmas day, as to newcomers lately arrived from another world who may change our world all over, as He whose birthday we celebrate did. Do You Borrow Your Neighbor’s Paper?,A veteran Arkansas newspaper editor editorallytold his readers recently why “they should not bor-.row their neighbor’s newspaper." His pointed yamwas as follows:“One day a stingy man "Re nt his son over to theneighbor’s house to borrow the paper, and while theson was on his way he ran into a swarm of bees. In a few minutes his face looked like a summer squash.' Hearing the agonized cries of his son, the father ran to his assistance, and in so doipg ran into a barbed wire fence cutting a handful of flesh from his anatomy and ruined an 38 pair of pants. The old cow took advantage, of the hole in the fence and wandered off intb the corn field where she ate so much green com that she died the next morning. Hearing, the prayerful words of the husband the far­ mer’s wife ran out of the house, upsetting a four- gallon churn of cream into a basket of kittens, and drowning the whole litter. The woman slipped on the cream and fell down on the porch steps, break­ ing her ileg and a $24.60 set of false teeth she had bought from a mail order house. The baby, left alone, crawled through the cream and just about ruined some rugs in the living room. During the excitement the daughter eloped with the hired man and took the family savings with her.” TODAY andTOMORROWby Frank Barker Stockbridge Santa Forever Santa Claus will soon make his annual rounds. Some children will meet this popular fellow for the first time in their young lives this year. In dissoluble with Christmas is the spirit and pres­ ence of St. Nicholas—Santa Claus—the symbol of happiness, of the outpouring of generous hearts, a translation into actuality of the promises made to mankind of round and ruddy face, framed in snow- white whiskers, his form gayly caparisoned in crim­ son and silver, a light-hearted old gentleman with a pack on his back stored with toys for little children. The Christmas season Is the time of youth and happiness and gaiety, the time of children, and for the little lurking springs of childhood remembrance which should lie within all human hearts. It com­ memorates the coming of a Child and of the greatest gift to the world. Inevitably it is dedicated to child­ ren and those who think the clean, sweet, unselfish thoughts of trustful youth. Santa Claus is no nebulous dream. He is a real and living personality, showing from the happy faces of those who believe Christmas in its truest sense, living and working in the hearts of those to whom giving is a joy, almost a selfish gratification, because they themselves derive from it such warm pleasure. Pitiful, indeed, are those sour cynics who see in Christmas only Its commercial aspects, (as though they were more than merely a means to an end), the high cost of gift giving, and the perversion of the Christnras-giving spirt into a sense of obligation. Persistence Is Important John Wannamaker, founder of the John Wanna- maker store, Philadelphia, was the first advertising genius in the retail advertising field. In addition to the novelty of his advertising, he kept persisently at it. He once said: “Continuous advertising, like continuous work, is most effective. If there is any enterprise in the world that a quitter should leave alone, it is advertis­ ing. Advertising does not jerk; it pulls. It begins very gently at first, but the pull is steady. It in­ creases day by day, year by year, until it exerts an irresistible power. To discontinue your advertise­ ment is the same as taking down your sign. If you want to do business you must let the public know it. I would as soon think of doing business without clerks as without advertising.” Make a New Year’s resolution now to start adver­ tising regularly in the Ingersoll Tribune. CHEMURGY Motoring around West Florida a little while ago, I encountered doz­ ens of farm motor trucks loaded with pine cordwood. The farmers were hauling logs to the paper mills, at Panama City, where 600 tons of paper a dpy arp made from pine land, if they are careful not to cut . the trees faster than new ones grow. The “slash” pine of the South grows big enough for pulpwood in seven years, so the owner who cuts only cne-seventh of his wood every year has a continuous source of income. The demand for pulpwood is grow­ ing fast. Four more big paper mills are being built in Florida, a dozen more elsewhere in the South. The discovery that Southern pine makes good paper came out of a chemical laboratory. It is the most important item, so far, in the new movement which is called “chem­ urgy.” That means the use of pro­ ducts of the soil for industrial pur­ poses. Farming in the future will not be centred on growing things to be eaten, but on. raising crops to be converted, by chemical Industry, in­ to the materials of which a thousand articles of commerce are made. “Stockbridge on Manures,” is stillthe basic reference book on the sub­ject. He found out, what every far­mer knows now, that crops need nit­rogen, potash and phosphates, inproportions dependent on the kind ofcrop and the chemical contents of thesoil.Modern agricultural chemists have found that crops need a lot of other things, which must be fed to them, if they are not in the soil. Copper, manganese, a dozen other elements are necessary. So modern fertilizer manufacturers make up their mix­ tures to individual prescriptions, to fit a particular situation. I was in a corner of Florida not long ago where the tomato crop had suddenly failed. Chemists studied the soil and found that its copper content had been exhausted. A new fertilizer was tried with just the right amount of copper, and the farmers got bigger and better tomato crops than ever before. . The old “rule of thumb” way is out of date in farming, as in every other occupation. ‘AS A WOMAN SEES IT COTTON FOR BETTER HEALTH —By Dr. J. Rosalyn Earp— Transportation is Civilization “Transportation,” wrote Rudyard Kipling, “is civ­ ilization ” That sums up the story of mankind’s prog­ ress from barbarism to whatever degree of culture the human race has reached. Transportation—eas­ ier, shorter and speedier ways of getting people and goods from place to place—is the foundation upon which our world-wide civilization rests. The story of the development of transportation is fascinating. Men learned first to build boats and to row them. They harnessed the wind to their boats and navigation made neighbors of peoples separated by seas and lakes. Trade began. On land, men tamed and rode wild animals, horses, .camels, elephants. Then someone invented the wheel, and modern land transportation began. The Indians had no wheels. They gave way before civilization which hod better means of transportation. Civilization’s latest development in transport*lion is in the air. Alone among the methods of moving from place to place, aviation began its greatest de­ velopment as an engine of war. The ancient Romans built great highways throughout Europe so that their armies might move swiftly and keep the conquered colonies in subjection. Today the nations of the world are vying with each other in the building ofwar-planes. There are short-sighted people who would stop building aircraft because they are useful in war. As well have stopped building roads because armies can march over them. The roads that Caesar built became highways of a world's commerce. The money which M being spent today for the development of faster and bigger airplanes for war, is teaching how to util­ ize this latest and swiftest means of transportation for the more civilized uses of pence. ESSENTIALS OF HEALTH A writer in the London Times states: “It is gener­ ally agreed nowadays that bodily health depends on two tssential elements—nutrition and exercise.’’ This ignorant opinon he describes as a “principle” and says that it was early recognized by the British Broadcasting Corporation. So much the worse for the British radio public. A sufficient dose of tubercle bacilli will result in tuberculosis however well nourished you may be. Violent exercise and over fatigue are powerful allies of the disease. Neither nutrition nor exercise can save us from syphilis or cancer or even a cold in the head. Neither careful formulas or much kick­ ing of his legs will keep your baby from getting dys­ entery, although the dysentery will certainly play havoc with his nutrition. What, then, are the essentials of good health? First I should put good breeding. No nation that neglects the problems of' inheritance will ever attain physical or intellectual perfection. Secondly I should place control of our environment, and this means proper disposal of sewage, protection of water supplies, pasteurization of milk, adequate housing, elimination ' of disease carriers in the animal world such os rats, flies, and mosquitoes. AB of these are functions of government and for this reason it is dangerous to mislead a democracy into believing it can achieve health by physical jerks and the drinking of milk. We shall admit, of course, that good food and recre­ ation have their place. And so also have fresh air and sleep, and equanimity. 'Way down upon the Suwannee River farmers are picking cotton which sells for 25 cents a pound. All over the South cotton growers are in distress: A bumper crop and the loss qf .important export mar­ kets have reduced the price of or­ dinary upland cotton. But the mar­ ket for Sea-Island cotton is growing faster than the supply. Five thous­ and bales of it will go to market from Madison county, Florida, in Oc­ tober, the first important shipment from the old Sea Island cotton belt since the boll-weevil got into it in 1917. They found a way to kill the boll-weevil before he reached the boll and so revived a dead industry. Sea Island cotton has a finer fibre and a longer staple than any other cotton. It used to be used, for spin­ ning lisle thread for fine stockings r.nd underthings. Now its chief use is in automobile tires, where the greatest strength and flexibility are needed. Tire makers grow much of their own cotton in Arizona, but not as good as the Seas-Island cotton. That is another example of chemurgy. There is more money for the farmer in growing the things of which industry stands in need than in growing things to eat. “HAPPY, HAPPY CHRISTMAS” Once more “the festival dear to the heart of sixty generations," is with us, and what a happy time it is!

COOL SMOKE , At no time of the year does tradition play a more important part, for there are certain customs belonging to this festival, which we observe year after year, and from which we continue to derive pleas­ ure. Sometimes fear is expressed that the Christ-child has been supplanted by the Christmas tree, and this if true, is to be deplored, for a purely secular Chrismas becomes a mere bauble; whereas the celebration of the Saviour’s birth deserves every­ thing to make it festive. So let us have lots of Christmas trees, and let us light our candles with reverance. In Ireland it is customary to place lighted candles in the windows on Christmas Eve to invite travellers to stop for rest and food, for the people believe that the Christ-child, in the form of a weary traveller, might ap­ pear at the door, and they wish to be ready for Him. The Yule-log which has figured in song and story was introduced to England by the Norsemen. The pic­ turesque ceremony of lighting the fire signified the burning of all quar­ rels and disputes, which naturally required a large log for the hardy Norsemen, those men of deep hates and strong attachments. Unfor­ tunately this custom received its death-blow when Cromwell tried to suppress Christmas cheer. Those were dark days for England when any fortn of festivity, even such things as mince pie and plum pud­ ding, were forbidden, and happily they were of short duration. Though it was many years after the Restor­ ation before people really recaptur­ ed the former spirit of Christmas, for Cromwell’s influence did not die with him. However, in the course of time, a greater than Cromwell arose, who not by the swond, but by his pen awakened an interest in the true sig­ nificance of the season; for it was C banes Dicken* who wrote, “I have always thought of Christmas time, when it has come around, apart from th* veneration due to its sacred name and origin, If anything be­ longing to it can “be apart from that,—as a good time; * kind, for­ giving, charitable, pleasant time; the only time I know of in the long cal­ endar of the year, when men and women seem by One consent, to open their shut-up hearts freely, and to think of p< uph> below them a* if they ready were fellow pareengera to the grave, and not another race of creature* bound on ether journ­ ey*. And, therefor*, though it has navtr put a scrap of gold or diver in my pocket, I h*li*v* that it ha* dome m* good, and will do me good;*nd I say God blew ft!” And ao with Tiny Tim “God bl«*a us everyone F* SCHOOL REPORT S.

The tung tree grows nuts which yield the most valuable oil for the manufacture of fine varnish­ es, lacquers and paints. This “China­ wood oil” sells in the world market tor 15 cents a pound or more, and the market never gets all it wants. A few years ago, my friend, David Fairchild, the plant explorer, brought tung nut* from China to America, and now Florida. Mississippi and Louisiana are producing a tenth of the world’s supply. More chem­ urgy. The tung tree gets its name from the heart-shaped leaf, “tung" being Chinese for "heart.” The leaves are r glossy dark green and remain on the trees the year around. The- wide branching trees grow about 25 feet high, and a great field of them in blossom is on* of the most beau­ tiful sights I have ever Men. For many year* to come growing tung nuts for their oil is going to be one of the most profitable form* of agriculture in the South.
