An enjoyable evening was spent at the Presbyterian Sunday School on Friday evening, when the session played hosts to the choir and friends at a turkey dinner. The guests were greeted in the foyer of the church, after which they retired to the Sunday School hall to find out ■which * family* they belonged to. I There were 5 tables with the follow- • ing hosts and hostesses: Rev. Dr.U ’ * Turner, Mr. and Mrs. R B. _ , Mr. and Mrs. T. N. Dunn, Mr. and Mrs. J. J. McLeod, and Mr. and Mrs. A. Y^le. Each host and hostess ' had to look after their ‘family*. The banquet opened with the sing­ ing of “The iting”, and “Be Present at Our Table, Lord.” Each host had to go to the kitchen to get their turkey and while father carved the turkey, community singing was in­ dulged in. The dinner consisted of tomato juice, turkey, mashed pota­ toes, mashed turnip, cranberries, celery, radishes, rolls, pie and coffee. Following the dinner, Rev.

Sutherland, the choirleader, respon­ ded and in his remarks spoke of the flong term of service given the choir by Mr. Chas. B. Scoffin and expressed regret at losing Mr. Scoffin from the choir. At this time, Mr. Scoff in was ’presented with a beautiful white table lamp in appreciation of his many years of faithful service. Mr. R A Paterson then gave a reading entitled “Men Get Married Too.’’ This was v&y humorous and given in Mr. Paterson’s own inimit­ able manner. This reading was dir­ ected to the Bachelor Elders and joung men. Following this everyone had to pack' up his dishes in his old kit bag and take them to the kitchen. A Grand March was next in order and finally different groups were formed for contests and games, which were in charge of Edna Cur­ rie. - Everyone took part from the oldest to the youngest and no one could leave without saying it was the best gathering they had been to in ages. The evening was. brought to a very successful close after 11 p.m., with the singing of Auld Lang Syne and the Benediction. Between* 50 and 60 were present, several being prevented from attend­ ing on account of TfifSness and var­ ious engagements. The banquet was prepared by the wives and sisters of Minister and Elders. “Dad, what is a diplomat?” “A diplomat, my boy, is a person who is appointed to avert situations that would never occur if there were no diplomats.” AUCTION SALE — OF — 40 HORSES BELGIAN and PERCHERON General Purpose Horses and Colts AT THE BELPRE FARM Better Known as the Weir Farm 2% Miles West of Courtland 1^4 Miles East of Jfabee's Corners —ON— Monday, January 31st, 1938 Commencing at 2 p.m. Terms - Cash Frank Fulkerson, Auctioneer.

M. E. A. HEAD CENSURED AT DISTRICT MEETING Last Thursday’s issue of the Sim­ coe Reformer, carried a report of a meeting held in that town Bt which a resolution of disapprovar was passed regarding a letter issued at the time of the Provincial election of October 1937 by Rev. F. C. El­ liott, chairman of the Ingersoll Public Utilities Commission, and pre­ sident of the Ontario Municipal Elec­ tric Association. The Simcoe Re­ former report follows in part:— “Disapproval of a letter signed by F. C. Elliott, president of the On­ tario Municipal Electric Associa­ tion, which appeared in the press prior to the Provincial election last fall, was voiced at a district meeting of the O.MJB.A. held here last evening. The letter which appeared in The Reformer on September 23, dealt with the revision of Hydro contracts with Quebec power companies. In his letter President Elliott defended the action taken by the Government in adjusting the contracts with three of the four companies. “The letter struck me very forci­ bly," declared Dr. Julian S. Boyd, chairman of the Simcoe Public Utili­ ties Commission. “I cannot find that the letter, which was signed by Mr. Elliott, in his official capacity, as president of the OJdJE.A., had the approval of the executive. I would say that he let us down badly in signing this letter." George Powell of Stamford Town­ ship, Welland County, pointed out that the letter stated that the presi­ dent was expressing his own personal opinion. ’ “It was signed by him as presi­ dent of the CM.EJL’’, said Roy Pierson, Brantford Township, who presided as chairman for the meet­ ing. “In my opinion he should be censured."* After a short discussion a resolu­ tion was passed “that this district transmit to the executive our disap­ proval of the letter being published at the time it was." “Iceland," said the teacher, “is about as large as Siam." "Iceland,” wrote Willie after­ wards, “is about as big as teacher." DON’T FORGET The KIWAN1S Fancy Dress Skating Carnival THAYER'S ARENA - FRIDAY EVENING, JA*C'28th.

Dr. Miller. The annual congregational meet­ ing of Trinity United Church was held on Wednesday evening, January 19th, in the Sunday School hall with a representative attendance. The t eports from the various organiza­ tions were the most encouraging in years. The session address review­ ed the work of 1937 and commended the fine loyalty of the membership to the services of public worship and their enthusiastic support of the work of the church. A healthy growth in membership marked the year and there were evidences of the deepening of the spiritual life of the people. Andrew Dunn, F. G. Walley, R. A. Skinner and J. Hunsberger were placed on the honorary list of the session. The following were elected elders, Charles Pearson, R. E. Ad­ amson, B. C. Hatch, E. S. Byerman, Melvin Thornton and Bernie Zur- brigg. Members of the Board of Stewards were elected as follows:— A. R. Ellery, P. T. Walker, P. L. Smith, Harry T. Bower, Leslie W. Porter and George W. Lockhart. A vote of thanks and appreciation was tendered the Women's Associa­ tion and other workers for their fine achievements during 1937. At the dose of the meeting, the pastor, Rev. J. George Miller, D.D., announced that he had decided to seek a change of pastorate at the termination of six years. He in­ timated that he was not resigning but that in view of the fact the congregation had been accustomed to shorter pastorates and owing to the general conditions of our day it seemed that pastorates are not longer than this period. The following unanimous recom­ mendation from the session was heartily endorsed by the congrega­ tion: “That we desire to express our deep appreciation of the services of our pastor, Rev. Dr. J. George Miller- and again pledge him our hearty co­ operation and loyal support so long as he remains our pastor.” Rev. Dr. Miller feelingly expressed his thanks for the continued loyalty of the congregation and the meeting was dismissed with the benediction. Mrs. J. W.

Former Ingersoll Baker Wins Silver Trophy A news item from Springfield an­ nounces that Mr. Oswald Allen, son of Mr. James Allen, Church street, Ingersoll, who owns and operates a bakery in the village of Springfield, was awarded the Silver Trophy for this area, which includes the Coun­ ties of Oxford, Middlesex and Elgin, on his bread exhibit entered at the Ontario Bread and Cake Bakers* As­ sociation and allied trades of the baking industry convention and ex­ hibition held at the Royal York Ho­ tel, Toronto, recently. The dispatch adds that the winning is all the more creditable when one knows that Mr. Allen made no extra effort, as his exhibit was taken from the stock regularly sold to his cus­ tomers. The Province of Ontario was divided into 13 zones. This sone in­ cluded the counties already mention­ ed, and in order that an exhibit would be considered, a minimum of 85 points had to be scored. Only six of the 13 zones were awarded prizes Mr. Alien first started in the bread business as a baker’s apprentice in Worcestershire, England. For some years he was employed as baker with, Mr. S. G. Zurbrigg, Ingersoll, and later opened a bakery for himself at Waterford. For the past ten years or so he has operated the bakery at Springfield.

Mr. Allen's Ingersoll friends will extend their congratulations on his recent achievement. \ Sergeant (on rifle range)—“This new ballot will penetrate nearly two feet of solid wood, so remember to keep you# hands down." ARLINGTON D. ROBINSONRE-ELECTED PRESIDENTINGERSOLL FAIR BOARDActivities of Ingersoll, North and West Oxford Agricul­ tural Society Reviewed At Annual Meeting. A Seed Cleaning Plant Advocated For Ingersoll. The annual meeting of the Inger­ soll, North and West Oxford Agricul­ tural Society was held in the council chamber on Friday afternoon, Jan. 21st. Taking into consideration that the major expenditure of 1937 was for the erection of the main exhibition building, replacing the one destroyed by fire, in 1936, officers and direct­ ors pointed out that marked pro­ gress had been made and that the reports submitted were highly sat­ isfactory under all the the circum­ stances. President Arlington D. Robinson reviewed the activites of the society for 1937 in a concise manner, thank­ ing all who had co-operated with him and he believed that with all shoul­ ders to the wheel still further ad­ vancement could be made. He mentioned that some improvements should be made to the cattle and horse barns and he believed that the entrance to the grounds should also be improved. He suggested that the secretary’s office be moved closer to the main building and that the en­ trance to the park be more modem. Following the reading of the secre­ tary-treasurer’s and auditors’ reports some discussion took place. Alex. Rose shared the view of the presi­ dent that favored by ideal weather, the fair of 1937 had been an out­ standing success. He also spoke in complimentary tenns of the services rendered by the secretary-treasurer, whose financial report was adopted. During the election of officers the chair was occupied by Alex. Rose.

A motion carried that the society co-operate with the junior farmers in holding a field crop competition . A motion also was adopted that J. F. Way and George Currie be a com­ mittee to meet the junior farmers' committee relative to Hold crop com­ petition. President A. D. „ Robinson, E.

During the coming week, citizens of Ingersoll and district, are to be given an opportunity to express in a tangible way, their appreciation of the work the Community “Y” is doing among the younger people of the vicinity. On Tuesday evening next, the annual canvass for funds for “Y” operations for the current year, will officially get under way; and friends are to be asked to con­ vert their friendship into active sup­ port, and to subscribe liberally to the fund of $2500 needed to balance the budget for 1938. An interesting campaign folder, just off the press, describes some of the types of work the “Y" is doing, with boys and girls, young men and women, and reveals that of a total of $3700 required for the “Y" to function at its headquarters on Ox­ ford street, in the gymnasium, and /tn the playground,! $1200 is to be secured through special receipts 'and moderate members' fees, leaving $2500 to be raised by public sub­ scription. The “Y” Board of Directors, through the campaign folder, state that one of the chief reasons why the “Y" merits general community sup­ port, is' that it fosters unity by breaking down artificial barriers and by encouraging and promoting co­ operation. This is of course, to be ex­ pected, for within the "Y" member­ ship of more than 200 persons, com­ ing from over 160 different families, there is to be found representatives of all ages, all walks of life, and every denominational group in the vicinity. It cannot be too strongly stressed that the work of the “Y" here is absolutely non-denomina- tional, and the directors have taken this into consideration in nominating the new personnel of the Board,. which will be elected at the annual meeting on Tuesday night. Mr. S. A. Gibson is again general chairman of tha campaign, having associated with him on the campaign committee, the following: Messrs. J. E. Hargan, J. C, Herbert, F. N. Hor­ ton, A. J. Kennedy, R. G. Start, E. A. Wilson and L. M. Sommer, the “Y" General Secretary. This com­ mittee appeals to citizens to “help youth by helping the “Y”," and con­ cludes with the observation:—“Can­ didly now that you’ve seen it in op­ eration, you would not want to bewithout it I” ‘ For the first time since the inaug­ uration of the "Y" here, members and friends will get together in an annual meeting for the purpose of receiving reports and electing dir­ ectory This event will take the form of * supper meeting, which fa to be held on Tuesday, Feb. 1st, at 6.80 p.m., at the Ingersoll Inn. Al! senior members, and particularly committees and members of club and group executives, are invited to M present, and the directors and team members in the annual current panse canvass will be out in full force. Ladies arc, of course, invited and representatives from neighbor­ ing 'Ti” will be present. Aa ac­ commodation is-limited, registration must be made at the "Y” office in advance. At this masting the official consti­ tution for Ingersoll Community “Y” will be adopted. COUNTY COUNCILCOMMITTEES NAMEDReeve Harry Little of Dereham,Reeve N. M.

VEALE, PublisherPHONES >—Tribune Office, 13 - Rwudmea, 442A.THURSDAY, JANUARY 27th, 1938Where Do You Work, John?We work to live is true of the majority of people.Almost thirty per cent of what we earn is spent onfood, 15 per cent on maintenance of the home, andeight per cent on clothing. Considerably more thanhalf of what we earn is expended on these threeitems, alone. Where does the money come from? Where does John earn his livelihood? For the sake of convenience, the breadwinners may be divided into three classes—the primary producers, the secondary producers and the growing community engaged in the rendering of services. The primary producers are engaged in extracting goods from the resources supplied by the bountiful hand of Providence. Agriculture carried on by .more than 730,000 farms produced one-sixth of the entire national income or about three-quarters of a billion dollars. Mineral products obtained from the earth by 70,000 workers amounted to 180 million dollars. Unmanufactured products of the forest were valued at 115 million dollars and gave employment to 80,- 000 men. The fisheries and allied industries required the services of 77,000 men.The secondary producers turn the raw products into manufactured commodities. The mills and factories of Canada employ close to 600,000 persons and the value added to raw materials by the manu­ facturing process is now around one and a half billion dollars annually. The services include a great variety of workers, from professional men to domestic help. No fewer than 200,000 females are engaged in domestic service. Looking over the last Federal census figures, we find that there were over two and a half million per­ sons employed and earning an income, large or small. The average earnings of males in a year is 3927 and of females $559. Besides the two and one- half million workers, who constitute nearly one- pouartcr of our entire population, there are 400,000 employers of labour and 600,000 other persons who are engaged in business on their own account. This information comes from the General Statistics Branch of the Dominion Bureau of Statistics, Depart­ ment of Trade and Commerce. Century Fund.For the city dweller. Dr. Newcomer remarks, actu­ally pays heavier taxes than the farmer. Hia monthlyrent payments include a property tax far higher thanthat in rural regions. Almost everything he buyshas a similar hidden tex. Dr. Newcomer sums it upby showing that an average Illinois farmer whomakes 31,000 a year pays out 10.4 per cent, of hiaincome in taxes; but his brother in the city, who hasthe same income, pays out 19.3 per cent, in texes;That ratio would apply to Ontario, too.Until town and city folk generally realise this fact,and protest accordingly, there is scant hope of re­ducing the heavy tax load. FOR BETTER HEALTH —By Dr, J. Rooslyn Earp— MEASLES By the use of a special stain, Dr. Jean Broadhurst has made it possible to recognize the presence of measles virus three days before the patient has.a rash. The discovery will probably be found to be of greater scientific than practical importance. Measles is a very, very common disease and, until doctors have a lot more time, or health departments a much larger personnel, it is doubtful whether this special method of diagnosis will be used frequently enough to control epidemics. For the present at least, whenever an epidemic of measles is going on, the safest thing is to keep child­ ren under four years of age, away from any other children that might possibly be coming down with the disease. It is in the first three years of life that measles is dangerous to life. If a child gets measles before he is a year old his chances of dying are thirty- four times greater than if he gets it between five and fifteen. Whenever a child less than four years old is known to have been exposed to infection, he should receive a dose of serum to prevent or modify the attack. Your doctor should be consulted immediately that you suspect the exposure. He will know what to give and when to give it. Naturally, if your child comes down with measles after he has been playing .with the neighbor’s child­ ren, you will let the neighbor know at once so that the necessary steps may be taken to protect them. Your health department will help you to prevent the disease from spreading further. Do not hesitate to ask them. That is their job. TODAY andTOMORROWIII by Frank Barker StockbridgeMAN . . 2,000,000 years old"How old is Man?” That is a ques­tion which has been puzzling men ofscience and religious teachers fromthe beginning of human thought. Ahundred years ago Bishop Usher cal­culated, from the Bible story, thatMan was created 4,004 years before the birth of Christ, and that is the figure which literal believers in the Bible still hold to. Scientific research, however, indi­ cates that Man is a product of mil­ lions of years of evolution. The Bib- ation seriously. Englishmen areaccustomed to the antics of Oxfordundergraduates, and these represent­ed only a very small minority of thestudent body.Some American university stu­dents, however, picked up the idea,and the American Students’ Unionadopted a formal resolution thatthey would never fight for theircountry under any provocation.Many people took that seriously.The Students’ Union, however, atits convention in the last Christmasholidays, rescinded the resolution.The boys explained that they never meant to be taken seriously, and that they were still patriotic. Which is what I would have expected of them, anyway. SUN l iF t j)F n V /lD /v |MUD»OlCl'MONTAfAl IRCTIr Sorting Sheep From Goats President Franklin D. Roosevelt drew a sharp dis­ tinction between the honest 90 per cent of business men and the 10 percent of “big business”, in the United States, which he intimated, needs curbing in the public interest. The “good” element in business should be relieved of too burdensome pressure of tax­ ation, he said in a recent radio address, while the monopolistic tendencies and practices of “big busi­ ness” should be thoroughly investigated, exposed and checked by such new legislation as may be necessary. In the meantime, honest capital should be encour­ aged to invest in a broad building program with a fair chance of profit, and industry should be en­ couraged to greater production and re-employment. At the same time the United States President sounded a warning to Labor against monopolistic tendencies and illegal practices. That was calcula­ ted to assuage many of the fears of capital and in­ dustry, which have been doubtful as to how far the Administration was committed to support of high­ handed Labor policies enforced by violence. Many Canadian observers point out that President Roosevelt’s suggestion that there should be a read­ justment of the whole scheme of compensation for l$bor, looking toward the eventual establishment of a yearly wage instead of the present hourly wage, is in the jto^ire of a return to sound, economic pol­ icy. One feature 6f the yearly wage even though it might be less than the three-quarters or even two- thirds of the total possible wage on the hourly rate basis, is that it would provide a steady income and permit laborers to better budget their_^expenses. There would also be a sense of security onjbhc part of the worker permitting less worry and betted work. FIFTY-NINE YEARS AGO From the Files of The Oxford Tribune Wednesday, January 29th, 1879 The severe gale on Saturday, ble,w down the hose tower on the town hall, breaking it off level with the roof of the engine house. A sleighing party, eighteen in number, and all packed in one sleigh, went from town to Woodstock on Friday night and surprised one of the denizens with their presence. They spent a pleasant evening. The anniversary of Knox Church Sunday School was held on Friday evening last. About 180 children partook of refreshments provided by the ladies, after which the Superintendent, Mr. G. A. Pyper, read the annual report. Addresses were delivered by Rev. Mr. McMullen of Woodstock, and Rev. Mr. Sparling of Ingersoll. A new station house on the B. N. and P. B. Railway, is to be built at Tillsonburg. Scotsmen Celebrate For Burns On January 25th, Scotsmen and sons of Scotsmen the world over, celebrated in memory of Bobbie Burns. There are more Scots outside of Scotland to sing "My Heart’s in the Highlands,” than in the High* lands themselves. In Canada, people of Scot’s ori­ gin, have about tripled in number in the last sixty years or so and from this staunch race have come many prominent men and women. Back in 1829 when a great many were leaving their homes in the-Highlands and had crossed the ocean to make a living in Canada, a poem expressing their feelings over the severance of home ties be­ came a well-known song. The most striking verse runs: From the lone shieling on the misty island Mountains divide us, and the waste of seas; Yet still the blood is strong, the heart is Highland And we in dreams behold the Hebrides. Whole villages at a time came to the new country carrying with them their language, their opinions, their songs and their traditions. They also retained their strong religious principles. . But while remembering to “tak a cup o’ kindness yet- for auld lang syne,” and for the land of their . fathers, tfK allegiance of the'Scots is to Canada, the land which welcomed the exiles and which continues to" present opportunities to their sons and daughters. But throughout the length and breadth of Canada as well as in all parts of the world, the Scots remain faithful to their ancestry and on Tuesday many cele­ brations and “Bums Nights” were held to honor the memory of Bobbie Bums who to some, is regarded as highly as the patron saint of Scotland, St. Andrew. The poplar trees which for years have lined the street on the front and north side of the site of the Catholic Church, have been cut down, and the corner looks strange to residents of that quarter. Dr. Williams’ horse ran 'away on Monday and caused considerable commotion on Thames and Kingstreets. Except the smashing of the cutter and cut­ ting the horse, little damage was done. A reward of 310.00 has been offered for the appre­ hension and conviction of the thieves who entered St. James’ Church last week and stole several articles. Messrs. Thomas Brown & Son have opened a trade with Manitoba in leather. Taxes You Don’t Seo The farmer pays taxes every year on his farm; if the tax rate goes up he notices it at once and squawks. The city dweller who lives in an apartment or a rented house pays no taxef at all; if the tax goes np he says not a word, thinking that it does not affect him personally. That the city dweller thereby kids himself ruin­ ously is pointed out in a tax study prepared by Dr. Mabel Newcomer of Vassar College for the Twentieth' The Young People’s Association met on Wednesday in the M. E. Church. “The Sunshine,” a paper edited for the association by Rev. S. ard and Miss L. Gard­ iner, M.L.A., was read during the evening; E. Wat­ erhouse is secretary, and S. Card, President. Mr. L. Bland, on Monday, sent forward another large shipment of prime sheep numbering between 350 and 400 head. A man who works at Garner’s Ashery, Thamesford, was arrested Friday for breaking into the house of Mr. E. Hunger, Dorchester. A concert will be given in the Association Hall on Friday, by Mr. A. Campbell Black, previous to taking his departure from Ingersoll. Mr. J. C. Hegler willoccupy the chair. The annual meeting of the North Branch Cheese Company was held Friday. During the year 1879, 1,400 tons of milk was received’and 127 tons of cheesp produced. The average price of cheese was 9 % cents per pound. 10 4-5 lbs. of milk was re­ quired to produce one pound of cheese. Officers elected were—President, John Wheaton; Salesman, W. Belton; Treasurer, Wm. Kernahan; Secretary, J. Watts; Directors, Reuben Reid and Luke Dyer. Wm. Peers, Reeve of West Oxford, was elected Reeve of Oxford for 1879. Mr. Fergusson was elected Chairman of the Board of Education for 1879, and Ju.t Gordon was re-ap- pointed Secretary-Treasurer at a salary of 380.00. The members of the) Board were Messrs. Fergusson, Dr. Williams, Eokitis, Sudworth, Clark, Bell, Cragg, Hegler. Dr. McCausland and Wattcr^orth lical account of the Creation is true, scientists hold, only in the,broad sense that events happend in the order named in Genesis, with Man as the last finished product. But in­ stead of occurring in seven days, the accepted belief of science is that it took nearer seven thousand million years to create the Earth and make it ready for Mankind’s occupancy. The latest conclusion of science, reported to the American Archeolo­ gical Association by Dr. ,N. C. Nel­ son of the American Museum of Nat­ ural History, is that Man, as a think­ ing, tool-using animal, has been on earth for about two million years. AIR . . it* composition “What is air?” That is another scientific question which concerns all of us. Man can live only in an at­ mosphere adapted to breathing. Science puts it another way. Man is what he is because he is an animal which developed after the contents of the earth’s atmosphere became finally settled. Air is primarily oxygen, diluted with five times its bulk of nitrogen. That has been known for hundreds of years. But research has found small quantities of many other gases in the air, all of which are necessary to the maintenance of life. Helium, neon and argon are the best known of these. They can be extracted from air and used for commercial purposes. The latest discovery about the air i.» that it contains a complex gas which scientists call nitrogen pen­ toxide. The function of this gas seems to be to filter the dangerous ultra-violet rays qf the sun, which would make life impossible if they were not toned down. BRIDGE . . Bering Strait* "Where did Man first live?” is an­ other question on which a great amount of scientific research has been done. The general agree­ ment among scientists is that .Man first appeared in Central or Western Asia, in the general region where the Biblical Garden of Eden was located. It now sems probable that not only man but all other forms of animal .life started in Asia, and spread over the rest of the world by routes which were afterwards closed. Dr. Ralph W. Cheney of the Carnegie Institu­ tion of Washington working with Hsen-Hsu Hu, a Chinese scientist, has found evidence that up to about 15 million years ago the continents of Asia and America were connected by a strip of land, so- that migration from one side of the globe to the other was easy. Aleutian Islands are the mountain-tops of this ancient bridge across Bering Strait. After the bridge disappeared, ani- nal life developed in America along different lines from the rest of the world.• 4 • FAMILIES . . better grade The problem of improving the Lu­ man stock has been getting a great ded\,of attention from scientists lately. The first direct application of science to Man has enormouFly diminished human suffering and waste of human resources, and science is now beginning to work on the problem of changing human qualities and improving human en-’ vironment. “A gradually improving stock is necessary if we are to take full ad­ vantage of the possibilities of a gradually improving environment,” Frederick Osborn told the American Association for the Advancement of Science the other day. Mr. Osborn pointed out that the first step would be to discover why some people have large families and others small families and changing social conditions to encourage larger families among the higher grades of human being. That would, "be an­ other step toward the perfect world.

First comes your choice of plant. Remem­ ber that the majority of flowering plants have only one blooming per­ iod in each year. The plant you buy at the florist’s shop was taken months ago by the gardener, cared for and stimulated until it is in full bud, ready to bloom under the right care. Ask the florist about watering temperature and light. If the plant is to be repotted the important point to keep in mind is adequate drain­ ings. The material in the pot itself does not make as much difference as this matter of handling. The clay pot with bottom drainage hole should be set on a surface that permits a certain amount of air to circulate under the pot. A saucer filled with small pebbles or coarse ashes can be placed under the pot. This pre­ vents the plant from standing in G. R. HEENAN, District Representative73 Canterbury Street - INGERSOLL Phone 496 ---------------------------1------------------ Local Agent, VIOLA M. WATERHOUSE Phone, 95 and 370C, INGERSOLL stagnant water. If the pot is placed in a jardiniere this should be large enough to allow some circulation of air around the pot. Standing water should be removed daily. A plant pot- td in non-porous container without bottom opening should have a good inch of drainage material at the bottom. Large pebbles, broken bits of pottery or good sized marbles are good for this purpose.• • • Sometimes grease spots appear on the back and arms of upholstered chairs in spite of antimacassars and what-not precautions. So, if hard wear over the holidays have soiled these-places that come in contact with head and hands use a medium stiff hard brush dipped in cleaning fluid. Carbon tetrachloride is recom­ mended because it is not inflam­ mable. However, there are innumer­ able cleaning mixtures on the mar­ ket that are not inflammable and remove dirt and grease effectively. Begin in t%e center of the spot and •work out, using a circular motion. This prevents all dangers of a ring­ forming around the cleaned place. • » • • Stopping the Drip For instance, with all the of hot water during the dotoi^ly week-ends and cooking, perhaps a faucet is beginning to develop an annoying drip. If you’re pressed for i time or are looking forward to a more complete plumbing overhead hi the spring, have the man about the house take out the rubber stopper and merely reverse it. It will last for several months. If the faucet happens to need a fuller ball, remove it from the threaded shank, wrap a few turns of string around the shank and replace. The full ball will then seat tightly. He (during quarrel)—“Now I know why women are called birds." She—“Why is that?” He—"Because you are always chirping.” She—"That’s on acount of the ' Avorms we pick up.” D O L L A R S SAVED A R E DOLLARS EARNEDf Improved I Six-Cylinder Valva-in-Head Special Truck EngineTRUCKS CHEVROLET Lowest Price and Lowest Upkeep Costa G O ES P O W E R ..D O W N C O M E NEW C H E V R O L E T Che ■wale i tracks 5 ... go farther on vol-»<"omii epeciai truck Entirely New Single Diaphragm Spring Clutch tracks are eastex to service, more economical to maintain.

R. Glover and D. D. Cal­vin. Our Empire has many corners,and each one could provide materiallor a book so it is interesting tofind that in this case the particularcorner is the city of Kingston, On­ tario. Even though one’s acquaint­ ance with the city might be a “pass­ ing” one, gained from train, motor car or boat, it would be sufficient to realize that it is a city that is truly Canadian and yet unique among the c:ties of Canada. For those interested in history, there is an account of its founding as a fort by Frontenac, who gave it his name; of the clearing of adjoin­ ing land, and its settlement by La Salle, that intrepid explorer whose services were devoted to an unappre­ ciative homeland; to its conquest by the British followed by U. E. Loyal­ ist settlers; up to the present time when it is seat of a university, an important port and the home of some important industries. FOLDEN’S CORNERS A fellow asked his boss for a raise. He told the boss that he must have one, as several other companies were after him. Later the boss discovered they were the gas company, the water company, and furnishing company.

For the educationalist there is the story of the founding of Queen’s University, and the dogged persev­ erance of a faithful few in guiding it through trying times till they had made it a seat of learning whose traditions and ideals are honoured the world over. In that section the name of Dr. G. M. Grant looms large and powerful. Although sketches of some of the other professors give colour and humour as well, for pro­ fessors are professors the world over. Adventure is there also in the ac­ count of life on Garden Island, which is two miles south of Kingston. The author of that part, Mr. Calvin, knows whereof he writes, for he was brought up on the island, where bis grandfather and father con­ trolled a thriving lumbering and ship-building business. Mr. Calyin has seen ships built in the yard at Garden Island; he has sailed the Great Lakes in his grandfather's ships when they towed barges to collect lumber that had been sent rushing down the Northern rivers; he has been on rafts of logs as they were towed through the tortuous lapids of tl>« St. Lawrence in their journey to Quebec, whence they were despatched to the ship-buildingyards of Great Britain and Nova Scotia. It was thrilling work requir­ ing the skill of French-Canadian and Indian pilots, who seemed peculiarly fitted for that work. Picturesque characters they were, such as the Indian who carefully guarded his complexion by shading it from the sun with a cotton parasol as he pil­ oted his raft through the rapids. We are told of the fugitive negro who on reaching the north shore of the St. Lawrence, asked, "Boy, is this Canada?” When told that it was, he knelt and kissed the stones on the beach. Employers of labour might profit by reading how a whole island com­ munity, eighty acres in extent, was supported by one firm with perfect harmony existing between employer and employed, each working to ad­ vance the industry by which all benefitted. With the decline in the lumber industry as well as in ship­ building, the island ceased to be im­ portant. But Kingston still is, and fortun­ ate are those students who can pur­ sue their university course in such pleasant surroundings. In the whole book we struck just one discordant note.

LOCAL CHINESE GIRLKEEN MEDICAL STUDENTA Chinese girl student in medicineat the University of Toronto, MissMing Chong, is a member of a localChinese family. Miss Chong’smother, and some of her sisters Andbrothers, are residents of Wood-stock, operating the Food Rile res­taurant, while another brother andsister operate the Biltmore Cafe inIngersoll. Miss Ming Chong, who is well known in Ingersoll, is working on a ^olarship to enable her to finish a fiedical course so that she may go to/China to serve her countrymen. A pretty Chinese girl born in Canada, Miss Chong is an example of young Chinese womanhood look­ ing toward China’s destiny as a self- sustaining, free nation, bearing no yoke of Japan. She can hardly wait to go to war-torn China. Miss Chong is in her third year in medicine. Without financial backing, she has worked her way through school doing menial tasks and work­ ing long hours. In some part in­ spired by the successes of her cousin, Dr. Victoria Cheung, superintendent of Marion Barclay Hospital in Kong- r.ioon, she has made use of every opportunity to secure her education and has sacrificed practically all of her leisure time. When she was not working at the jobs she found han­ diest through the assistance of her own race, she was studying. Bom in Victoria, B.C., in 1915, she lived there until 1926, when the family moved to Hamilton. In 1934 she graduated in arts from Mc­ Master University. Her success at school was sur­ prising, because of her horror of the classroom when a youngster. She had an aversion to public school life in Victoria so strong that for weeks she did not attend. She would start cut for the English school, some dis­ tance away, and in a short time re­ turn to her home again. For days she repeated that performance and it took coaxing every day to get her started to the school she did not reach. Her father, wishing his children should have a good education, tried every method, including that of .being harsh with the child, but had no success. Her older sister, Mrs. H. Wong, now of St. George, Ont., ccnnived with Ming to keep her away from school to make it easier for the youngster, but her parents found out and the resultant storm convin­ ced Ming she ought to accept public school life. Her progress was rapid. At the age of 11 she was in entrance class, when s^ie moved to Hamilton. She was determined to take an arts course at McMaster University but had no money. She went to work after school and during vacation, paid her own tuition, and the result was her graduation in 1934. Her heart was set on a medical course at Toronto. It was the best investmeril she knew to take her to China, where she could be of some assistance to her illustrious cousin, Dr. Cheung. Friends tried to dissuade her; the course was expensive and she had no money. Miss Chong SKI ACCIDENT VICTIM Caught In a roaring avalanche of .snow as he was skiing down amountainside, near Banff.

During 1935 she worked in the Biltmore Cafe here in Ingersoll to make the money she needed for her university course. In September, 1936, she had enough to begin on. Through a scholarship the rest of her course seems to be assured. When she is through, Miss Chong will leave for China.

It is a fine tribute to the courage and adventurous spirit of the late Amelia Earhart that a memorial bea­ con is to be established in her honor on Howland Island, by the Depart­ ment of the Interior of the United States. While even at this late date some pepole believe that she may still be alive in some inaccessible spot in the Pacific where her air­ plane came down, a memorial light will, not only commemorate her at­ tempted round-the-world flight,, but will be helpful to other navigators. The light will be approximately twen­ ty feet from base to top, and will be cf special assistance to coast guard vessels. Similar lights will be placed on Jarvis and Baker Islands.

PA d R oo E r N s T an S d u su su n a n l y ly s u t m hi m nk er d ot a ys o u a t s ­ .the proper place and time for pictur­ ing children, and once this was true. Before thyrfvpnt of fast films and electric light 'bulbs especially de­ signed for amateur photography, daytime was the only time anap- ahooters could work. Today that is no longer the case. Nowadays, pleasing child picturesmay be taken inside tha home eitherby day or night, and more amateursare taking them. This is partly be­cause the home provides an ideal set­ting for pictures one wants to keep, and partly because the photographercan control his light to make pic­tures more interesting. The modern large-eized amateurflood bulbs are so powerful that the camera worker can put two of them in reflectors three to four feet from his subject, and taka snapshots, as be would outdoors, with an ordinary box camera. The camera is, of course, loaded with supersensitivefilm and its lens Set at the largestopening. Other cameras can be usedat 1/25 second shutter speed andf.8 or Lil lens opening. Ability to take snapshots like this Is a great help in obtaining natural, unposed child pictures. It is no long­ er necessary to take “11016” ex­ posures or to tell the child to “holdvery atilL" Now his toys can be placed In the circle of light cast by the flood bulbs, and as soon as heis absorbed in them, and uncon­ scious of the camera—snap goes the shutter and the picture is made! There is a variety of lighting ar­ rangements one can use on child pic­ tures. For a cheerful, joyous effect, everything in the picture should be light in tone, and there should be even illumination, with no deep shadows. However, when a dramatic effect is desired, illumination can be restricted to the child’s face and hair, with everything else in deep shadow. This tends to give the Im­ pression of a very small child in avery large room; sometimes an ef­fect of loneliness which is more ap­pealing than it the picture werebright and carefree.Beautiful “high-key” effects canbe obtained with the child on a win­dow-scat where daylight diffusesthrough the curtains, and bright floodlight inside so that there areno dark areas or masses of shadow.The child's clothing should be lightin color. Good balancing of lightwill give a picture that is almost allwhite and lighter tones of gray, withjust enough shadow here' and therefor accents. “Backlighting,” as fromthe window, can also be obtainedwith artificial light, a bulb beingplaced behind the child so that thehair becomes a bright, silky halo.Start today to keep a picturediary of your children. 174 John van Guilder.

Sunny demanded.“What would you want roe todorSunny was baffled, but not forlong. She would force Monty to herwill but it would be harder than shethought She seated herself on the arm of Monty’s chair. “Moot," she said, “I didn't really realize until this moment how muchI’ve wanted you. I can't give youup so easily—I don't care if I dw promise I” _ , ,Monty was caught off guard. Itwould be hard to cast the girl aside and in all his being he couldn’t findthe will to do it even though hu mind might so direct.Sunny lowered her cheek againsthis hair. She was dose to him trow Something inside told her she wouldhave her way. Her hand restedagainst his and then closing fingers gave her the answer she had wanted.The jangle of a telephone broketheir moment of silence. Sunnygave a start. The jangle continuedand she rose to pick up the receiver. “Hello?—Nat?—where arc you?”Sunny listened, then covered the mouthpiece as she whispered, “It’s were hardly in the place when Itwas raided. She’» alwayi held itover roe. She knew I'd give any­thing to keep Father from knowing.Now she wanted me to get you topay her some money to hush up ascandal. If I didn't, she threatenedto tell Father and get all three ofus mixed up in a dreadful mess I It was probably the most straight­forward speech Sunny had ever made in her life. The simple, directmanner of her confession brought Monty quickly to her aid. "You poor kid!” were Monty’swords as he sought to comfort her. “Why didn’t you tell me all thisin the first place instead of beatingaround the bush with all this *1 Love You Truly* stuffl”“I’m—sorry,” was all Sunny could say. Monty knew she was.Absorbed by their own situation,neither Monty nor Sunny had heard the door buzzer, nor its opening andclosing. They became conscious of another's presence only when Na­talie walked to the center of theroom. Mont’s arms still held the girl in close embrace. They bothlooked up into Natalie’s surprisedand horror-stricken countenance. <nTh*Udj.y before the flight.

Natalie is waiting when Montylands but they are soon encased In a tv” bcean Sunny, slowly, “there is something 1 must tell you."Her serious manner broughtMonty’s eyes peering down at her. She walked to a chair at the furtherside of the room Jo be farther awayfrom the man w.to must hear her strange confession.“Go on,” prompted Monty, sa t­ing himself opposite the girl. ** Sunny seemed loathe to tell all.Her mind raced as her actions played for time. With true feminineinstinct she decided on one lastgamble. She must preserve her secret at all cost. Instantly her man­ner changed. The old seriousnessgave way to something softer. Her next words held a world of mean­ing.“Don't you think you care for me —a little, even after ail that’s hap­pened?” Monty was caught off guard.“Why—why. yes—why not?” hefaltered. \ Sunny followed up her advantagewithout hesitaton."You know, Mont, I really letyou out of that engagement becauseI felt generous—1 mean about Natalie.’* Sunny’s strategy was wellmapped by now. She continued:“But somehow^** wishing now I’d never been sjicJFa fool!”The note of flattery was not lost on Monty. Ever mindful of a cer­tain masculine charm that could notbe denied even by his enemies, Monty knew that many women hadbeen attracted to him. Sunny’s ap­proach was a masterful stroke of psychology. She knew his Achilles*seel—and now she aimed directly "Mont!" Her exclamation came as >hc slowly rose to her feet“Why could’t we start a|F overagain?” she was crossing to him “Why couldn’t we run away fromhere—from this whole ghastly busi­ ness and have—just each other?"She was before him. She knew that when Monty reached out hishand her triumph could not be faraway. But victory was not to be won so hastily. Monty had had time torecover from the first surprise. Nowbe too was fencing. He made no move.I “Isn’t this rather a face-about for .us both?” he questioned.; “A woman's privilege” returned[Sunny, lightly. “But hardly a man’s” camejMonty’s swift reply.• "You’re going through wjth it—Jeven if you tea re for me more?”Sunny betrayed her own vanity land she knew it.

JI do care for youSnnny—but—“Mca# could not findwords to betray Natalie, for you, Mont—Natalie. Do you want to talk to her?”“Of course!” said Monty, taking the instrument from her hand.“Hello, Natl What’s that?—you’re at the office?—and just foundout that I was loose? When areyou coming here—we have a date with the Mayor, you know. I’ll bewaiting! I’m running over to myplace to get a change of clothes.*! 've worn these all the way from Siberiaand they’re getting out of press.Okay, see you soon!” The phone in place, Monty spranginto action. There was no time to lose. Barely an hour would elapsedbefore they would be riding in theMayor’s limousine to the testimonialparty in his honor. The flight, thelanding, the tussle at the airport— alt seemed like a thousand yearsago. Much had happened in the fewhours since. Monty threw on his coat and was about to go whenSunny ran to him and threw her arms about him.“Don’t go!” she pleaded, "thatwoman will be there—she will use the occasion to expose you!”“What makes you think she has anything to expose?” parried Monty.“I know—I know it’s all some ter­rible plot,” cried Sunny, "but don’t you see—she’ll take any advantageto force you to pay her off! This would be playing right into herhands 1” "You don't think she’d try tomake a public scene before I had achance to pay off quietly, do you?” Monty reasoned."You don't understand—she’ll be there, if only to be able to threatenyou I”Monty thought little of Sunny’s argument. He turned again to go.Sunny fastened herself on his arm,attempting to drag him back. Herinsistence made Monty wonder.“Why shouldn’t I let her make a scene? he exclaimed. "She won’tget anywhere. I could have herthrown in jail in five minutes be­ cause I know she hasn’t any proof—phoney or otherwise—of whatshe’s trying to say!” “But she’ll tell about me!” Sunnyshrieked. And in that instant she knew her secret was out.Monty stared at her for a mo­ment. then asked: “Tell about—about what?” he de­manded. “Oh, I might as well tell you now—it’s too late to cover anything up!”Suhny was sobbing. Monty led herback to a chair. There, seated to­gether, he held her tightly as she sought to speak. Finding her voice,she continued:“I know this girl—and she’s a fake. She never married you andshe said as much to me right herethis afternoon. But she docs know me. She was in a gambling housein" New York when I went slum­ming with a party-of friends. We “Mont!—Sunny!” was all Nataliecould say. Her eyes welled with tears. Monty lifted Sunny to herfeet and they both ran to Natalie. “Nat!” Monty called. "Youmustn’t—you can’t think that—” But Natalie had groped her way out to the front entrance. Sheopened the door only to find it barred by Jimmy who had just re­turned from a picture assignmentfar Uptown. “Why Natalie!” Jimmy exchimed,“What’s the matter—why the weeps?” “It’s—they’re—in there," Natalie sobbed, and pushing Jimmy to oneside started for the elevator. Jimmy'ran into the next room. One glance at Monty and Sunny and the awtulsuspicion clutched at his brain. Hisfists tightened in anger but thethought that Natalie had been hurtand was even now fleeing, he knew not where, prompted him to wasteno time. “You cad!—and you—you saidyou loved me!” he hissed. He lookedat them both, then strode from the room. Monty and-Sunny were againalone, slightly bewildered for they had both been dumbfounded at theuntoward turn of events. Monty found himself first. Catch­ing Sunny's hand he urged her for­ward. “We must find them and tell themthe truth I” - - But Sunny sank to the couch, lostin a torrent of tears. t “Why bother?” she sobbed,“They’d never believe us, ever!” “But they must!” Monty insisted."They simply must I”Sunny turned her face, eyes brim­ming. “I guess we'll have to take eachother now,” she said, smiling weak­ly. Monty sat down beside her, he took her hand, then passed his armaround her.“Maybe we aren't «o unlucky afterall ’ was all he could say.The door buzzer again. Monty impatiently rose to see who the un­welcome intruder could be.It was the Mayor’s chauffeur. The car was downstairs. j"I’ll be—we’ll be with you in five minutes!" Monty promised. Thenhe ran back to Sunny. "Come on. little girl,” he shouted,gaily, 'we’re going places and dothings. We’re going to the Mayor's own party—and you'll be the queenbee of the evening!”Sunny looked at Montv incredul­ ously. She could hardly believe herears. Then slowly the realization came that Monty had made theall-important derision. Happiness seemed to burst in her heart butthere were no words to give it ex­pression.

CONFEDERATION LIFESHOWS CONTINUEDSTEADY GROWTHThe strongest balance sheet of thepost-war period was presented at the66th annual meeting of the Confed­eration Life Association, culminatinga year of continued steady growth.New assurances totalled $48,443,-831, an increase of almost $1,000,-000 over 1936. Total assurances atthe end of 1937 were $411,141,459, an increase of $12,641,886 for the year. Assets were $120,700,000, an in­ crease of $7,728,000. The Associa­ tion continued its conservative prac­ tice of carrying them into the bal­ ance sheet at their book values, which are $2,500,000 less than their actual market values, as ascertained by the federal insurance department. R. S. Waldie, vice-president, was chairman and delivered President C. S. Macdonald’s address in the ab­ sence of the latter through illness. Mr. Macdonald pointed out the sub­ stantial increase in. every phase of operation, not only in 1937, but over the last decade. In the last 10 years, business in force had increased 159%; assets, 210%; total income, 154%; payments to policyholders, 221%; dividends to policyholders, 154%, and surplus, 134%. Commenting on present low inter­ est rates for long-term loans, Mr. Macdonald warned that investment in such securities would present un­ comfortable problems in the future. ‘Interest rates will not always re­ main at their pretent low levels, and when they rise, the securities having lohg-term maturities will show heavy capital depreciation," he predicted, explaining that Confederation Life was meeting this problem by shorten­ ing the maturities of its portfolio by purchases and exchanges of shorter term securities. One-third of all Confederation Life bonds will ma­ ture in 10 years, and two-thirds in 15 years, he stated. Bonds and debentures comprise 63.29% of assets. Five years ago this group comprised less than 60%. Investment in bonds has increased over $30,000,000. Government and municipal bonds account for 53%, corporation bonds amounting to10%. The Association holds $22,000,000 in securities payable in more than one currency, thus being able to take advantage of the exchange market with certainty of profit—a desirable position. V. R. Smith, general manager, stated that the increase of business in force was 10% greater than the increase for 1936. Premium income stood at the highest figure in Con­ federation Life history, $16,665,000. Total income from all sources, $22,- 573,292, was the greatest for anypast year. Improvement in world conditions was reflected in a marked decrease in cash surrender values, which were 11% less than ip 1936 and 48% less than 1933. Rate of termination was the best since 1930 and, as a percentage of business in force, the best since 1928. Policy loans amount to but 11.69% of the total assets, the lowest point in 30 years. “It is essential that the policyhol­ der shall be able to obtain in a crisis the maximum loan; therefore it is to his interest to repay loans as quickly Enjoy tea at its best’SALADATEA “as possible, so that he may be able to obtain another cash loan the next time a crisis arises,” pointed out Mr. Smith. Colonel J. F. Michie, vice-presi­ dent, said the objectives of the sales forces had been exceeded. Canada, Newfoundland, Cuba, China, the West Indies and Hawaii showed sub­ stantial increases. Agencies in On­ tario did exceptionally well, while British Columbia, Quebec, New Brunswick and Prince Edward Is­ land showed excellent gains in busi­ ness in force. Manitoba, New Bruns­ wick, Prince Edward Island, New­ foundland, Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic registered good gains in new business. C. D. Devlin, genera] superinten­ dent of agencies, commended On­ tario agencies. In new business, Windsor, Port Arthur, Hamilton, Timmins, Brantford, St. Catharines, North Bay, Peterboro and two Tor­ onto branches registered splendid gains.
