OCLnew_1938_02_10_Ingersoll_Tribune_newspaper_issue_OCR_ACCESSTHE INGERSOLL TRIBUNEThe Only N m p^r Published in IngenolL THE INGERSOLL TRIBUNE, THURSDAY, FEB. 10, 1938 Yearly Rate. - - Canada, >1.60 . U. S. A, >2.00.Increase InLicense Plate SalesThe Tribune learned this weekfrom George Sutherland, local issuerof Motor Vehicle Licenses and Driv
ers* permits that to date there has
been an increase of over twenty-five
percent in the number issued for the
similar period of last year. Mr. Suth
erland also informs us that already
the sales amount to within four hun
dred of the total for the whole of the
year 1937 on passenger cars.
No reason for the increased per
centage of sales was attributed other
than that the' public were somewhat
frightened by the announcementthat no leniencey would be shown to
any motorist not having the 1938
markers by January 10th.
Mr. Sutherland pointed to the fact
to date the local police had not
’rvtind it necessary to issue a single
summons for failure to have the
1938 plates or drivers permits. Some
warnings were given about the mid
dle of January and all apparently
were heeded. The kindly way in
which the motoring public was used
by the local police is most commend
able and words of warnings and press
notices carried in the paper have ap
parently served their purpose.

Winter Brooding of Chicks
The poultrymen with proper equip
ment can handle chicks in mid-win
ter witji as little mortality as ,with
April chicks. He may not get as
high percentage hatch , as later on,
but even the hatchability of eggs is
being controlled by the feed. January
chicks will cost more as eggs are
higher priced to start with. Then it
will take more fuel than with spring
brooding. But there is more time for
looking after chicks; there may.be
less disease and mortality; broilers
will catch a high mar’ket, and pullets
should be laying early in the fall or
even in late summer when egg
prices are at their peak. Of course,
if many started hatching all their
chicks tn January the higher prices
for broilers and eggs would be wiped
out, and chicks hatched at some
other season would find the best mar
ket. Brooder houses unsuited for
prolonged zero weather and the high
er price for chicks will limit the num
ber going in for January chicks.
Nevertheless there should be good re
turns for the few who do, and they
can prolong the use of their equip
ment as those having another batch
in the spring so as to have pullets
coming into production at different
seasons. January chicks will go on
to range early in the season, or they
may be raised indoors until ready for
the laying pen.
A distinguished angler, thinking
his Highland boatman was not treat
ing him with the respect due to his
station, expostulated thus:
“Look here, my good man, you
don’t seem to grasp who I am. Do
you know that my family has been
entitled to bear arm:, for; ths last
five hundred years?”
“Hoots; that’s naething,” was the
reply. “My ancestors have been en
titled to bare legs for the last two
thousand years.”

St. James’ Men Sponsored
Enjoyable Social Evening
Rector of St. Jude's Anglican
Church, Brantford, Was Guest
Speaker.
The social evening sponsored by
the Men’s Club of St. James* Angli
can Church, in the parish hall of the
church on Wednesday last, was
largely attended. Rev. F. W. Schaff
ter, rector of St. Jude’s Church,
Brantford, was the speaker of the
evening. He gave a fine address on
the subject, “The Tampils and
Temples of Southern India.”
One of the outstanding memories
of the address was that of the great
prevalence of religious temples in
this part of the country. The speaker
said, in fact, that there were more
temples in this part of India than
there were in any other such given
area in any ■ country of the world.
He said that much time was given to
deep and serious thinking by those
people and they were very devout
worshippers. They were unhurried
too and did not understand the wes
tern way of rushing and hurrying
over everything undertaken.
The speaker was introduced by F.
H. Adams, president of the club, who
was in charge of the meeting and a
vote of thanks was tendered the
speaker by A. W. G. Crutcher.
The program included vocal solos
by Miss Nancy Dunbar of Woodstock,
and comic numbers by Clarence Gor-
rie, Woodstock. Refreshments were
served and modern and old time
dancing enjoyed to the music of
Jack Boynton’s orchestra, who con
tributed numbers throughout the
evening.

Dairy and Poultrymen
Attribute Production
Decrease On Weather
Leading dairymen and poultry fan
ciers unanimously express the opin
ion that climatic conditions have con
siderably lowered production thiswinter, r
There'seems to be no other explan
ation for the poor results which pre
vail, as the majority of barns are
stocked with good fodder.
Those who have made a study of
production for R. O. P. purposes
find that this winter has been one
of the poorest in a number of years,
tn spite of improved feeding meth
ods which call for mineral deficiency
and vitamin feeds, and every rec
ommended practice which should
bring production up, such as electric
lighting in poultry houses.
“Who was the smallest man -in
history?”
“I’m ignorant, who?”
“The Roman soldier who went tosleep -on^is watch.”.
Chief Warm CitizensAgainst Aiding TransientsAn influx of transients, coupledwith numerous petty crimes, in othernearby centres, prompts Chief Con
stable Alex. Callander to warn citi
zens against devoting any time to
the appealfcxjf men soliciting alms
from door to door.
“We have enough trouble of our
own without encouraging outsiders
to make a stamping ground of Ing
ersoll,” Chief Callander declared in
speaking to the Tribune.
“There is only one safe course
for citizens to pursue when men call
at their homes and make appeals,” he
continued. “Citizens would be well
advised to telephone police at once
and let them interview the caller.
If a man needs help, there are agen
cies that will help him. If he has
other designs, it would be better to
have the police on the job right
away.”
Drug addicts, the chief said, in
variably resorted to petty thievery
to get funds for the purchase of nar
cotics to satisfy their cravings.
“They cannot work, they have to
have drugs, and they have no com
punction about shoplifting and
stealing from houses if they can get
their hands on anything they can
dispose of easily,” he said.
February Meeting of
S t Paul’s W. M. S.
The February meeting of the St.
Paul's Auxiliary of the W. M. S., of
St. Paul’s Presbyterian Church, was

president, Mrs. A. Yule, in charge.

The devotional exercises were in
charge of Mrs. Stanley Dunn and
these were followed by most en
couraging reports from the various
secretaries of the Auxiliary. Mrs. J.
M. Malcolm gave a splendid| report
of the recent meeting of the Paris
Presbyterial held in Woodstock. Two
little girls from the Mary Slcssor
Mission Band, Margaret McMillan
and Ruth Collins, gave a pleasing
little song number.
Baptist Bible Class
Held Interesting Meeting
A well attended meeting of the
Adult Bible Class of the Ingersoll
Baptist Church, was held at the

Falconer and a splendid paper on

T CAMPAIGN OBJECTIVESTILL NOT REACHEDOver $2,000 Subscribed ToDate Out of Twenty Five
Hundred Dollar Objective.
While the annual canvass forfunds to support thuffidagersoll
Community "Y” officially apt ud on
Friday evening, February 4rh, only a
little over >2000.00 of the >2500.00
objective has been secured up to the
lime of going to press.
A banquet for the team captains
and canvassers was held last Friday
evening in the Ingersoll Inn and the
amount secured at that time totalled
>1968.70. The gathering was presid
ed over by Mr. E. A. Wilson, a mem
ber of the “Y” Board of Directors
and short remarks were made by sev
eral representatives from the various
teams. The banquet speaker was
Gordon Gauld, general secretary of
the London Y.M.C.A., who used a
picture of a youth gazing into the
horizion from the top of a high hill
to illustrate his talk. Mr. Gauld im
pressed upon his hearers the fact that
the future of the youth of Ingersoll
lies in the hands of the public and it
I Is up to the citizens to see that
sufficient funds are made available
to carry on the important work that
is being accomplished through the
local Community "Y.”
A meeting of the team captains is
to be held in the “Y2_this evening at
6 o’clock to receive further reports
and to make plans for the raising of
the balance of the >2500.00 object
ive not already secured. While a
number of people have already vol
untarily subscribed to the cause, it
is felt that there are a number that
have been overlooked by the can
vassers. Any person desiring to
make a contribution may leave same
at the “Y” office or mall it to the
treasurer, F. N. Horton.

F*ge2THE ING E R SO LL TR IB U N EW. R. VEALE, PublisherPHONES:—Tribone Office, 13 - Rwdence, 441ATHURSDAY, FEBRUARY 10th, 1938The Niagara Ice JamHow dependent people are upon the moods of nature is demonstrated very forcefully onoe more bythe ice jam that has taken place in the NiagaraRiver. This is particularly apparent now that one olthe big Hydro power plants has been put out of commission and the one at Queenston threatened also
with temporary suspension. The citizens of Ontario
go about their duties day by day scarcely giving heed
to the important place that electricity occupies in
modern'life. This affects all classes and concerns fac
tories, buildings of all kinds, homes, and farms in
rural communities.It is predicted that, if the ice jam does close the
Queenston power plant, thereby depriving the Com
mission of 435,(100 horsepower, it will be necessary
to ration the available power throughout the Prov
ince. It is not a particularly bright outlook. It
would mean that industrial plants would have to op
erate on shorter hours, street lights would be dar
kened, and all muncipalities under the Niagara Sy
stem greatly restricted in the use of electrical energy.
It is to be hoped that this contingency will not arise
as the severe weather has checked the rush of ice
and it may pass out of the river without further
damage.The great lack in the present system of distribution
is a link whereby power from Quebec can be poured
iiT'an emergency into the Niagara System. In an
Jddress to the Engineering Institute of Canada
Premier Hepburn however, gave positive assurance
that there woujd be no shortage to domestic con
sumers in case the Niagara system should break
(down, as provision is being made for this emergency.
\ The significance of the present emergency, how
ever, is that it shows how dependent man is upon
the Oprices of nature. Such an ice jam as blocks
the Niagara River at the present time has not occurr
ed within the experience of the present generation.
The fact that the river has become jammed however,
rendering one power house useless and threatening
the operation of another, shows very cearly that,
while man can direct the forces of nature to a large
extent, he cannot control them in earthquake, flood
or fire, when they break loose in all their fury.
It would indeed be a strange experience for this
section of Ontario to suffer a shortage of electricity.
The threat will probably result in good in the end,
because provosion will be made for just such
emergnecies. *
A Social Responsibility
The whiskey business is under closer scrutiny than
any other industry today. Back of the laws which
have been enacted in most of the States to control
the liquor traffic is a powerful public sentiment de
termined to prevent the abuses which prevailed in
the pre-prohibition days. Serious as were the law-de
fying evils of the prohibition period, many who were
revolted by the orgy of bootlegging, hijacking and
gangster wars were genpiney fearful of the return
of legal liquor.
On the whole, the distillers seem to be taking an
enlightened and highy intelligent attitude in promot-
ng the sale of their wares. Realizing that their in
terests are best (served by preaching moderation,
one df the largest distillers is publishing advertise
ments urging people not to buy too much of theirproduct! “Psfj^our bills first,” they admonish those
inclined to excess in drinking. “We don’t want bread
money.”
The sane way to look at the liquor traffic is not the
amount of money it brings in in taxes, huge as that
is. We can do without the money if its cost is the
destruction of social values. Enlightenedself-inter-
est leads the same distillers who adjure people to
drink moderately, in their advertisements, to recog
nize their social responsibility by pointing out that
“the very existence of legalized liquor in this coun
try depends uopn the civilized manner in which it is
consumed.
Rules and laws will not keep people from drinking.
That was proved during prohibition. But education
may result in temperance. It is a hopeful sign of the
times when the makers of whiskey spend their money
to teach moderation in their advertisements. Unless
the same recognition of thdir social responsibility is
displayed by others, the liquor industry will hardly
regain the public confidence.
Why This Depression?
There is no point in pretending that the nation is
not in a serious business depression declares a leading
United States press despatch. The important point
is whether it is as serious as previous depressions
have been, Economists who have made careful analy
ses of the depression which began in 1929 and from
which we have not yet fully recovered, and the one
i -which began eight years later, in the Fall of 1937,
Agree that cdftuitions are so different that there is
no reason to fear disastrous consequences from the
preserit situation.
In 1929 there was a great overproduction of manu
factured goods with factories working to capacity;
building construction was nt an all-time high peak;
mercantile inventories were far too large; banks were
bulging with credit; the private debts of the nation
were enormous and credits were overextended to cus
tomers; speculation was rampant, money rates were
sky-high and our foreign trade was largely on a fic
titious basis of foreign currency.
Almost exactly the -reverse of thoee conditions
prevail today. The need today is for expansion in
industrial,^output and in housing construction. Much
of, the hesitation of capital to-invftst in necessary en
terprises is due to uncertainty about government
policies affecting investments; much more is due to
uncertainty about labor conditions Once let those
uncertainties be even partly cleared up and there is
an almost unlimited volume of money and credit eager

THE INGERSOLL TRIBUNE, THURSDAY, FEB. 10, 1938Building Trade WagesThere is no doubt whatever that a great revival ofbuilding operations would take up much of the slackin unemployment. It would put money into circulation all the way from the cities to the lumber campsof the North. It would stimulate the steel, cementand glass industries, increase the volume of freighthauled by rail and water, create a demand for morehardware, plumbing and electrical equipment, brickand lime and all the rest of the items that .go intomodern buildings.In all, a great nationwide building program mighteasily employ a good half of the workers now unemployed.One obstacle to a building boom is the high rate of
wages demanded by skilled workers in the unionized
building trades. Those high wages, running up to
$1.50 an hour or more, are based upon the uncer
tainty of employment in such a seasonal occupation
as building. If some way can be devised to insure
building trade workers jobs the year around, it
would not be difficult to come to an agreement where
by the labor costs of individual buildings can be
reduced.

How To Avoid Colds
With February the month of thaws and colds, well
under way, it is timely to reproduce a list of ten rules
which a well-known medical authority offers to help
men, women and children avoid the common cold:
1. Get plenty of sleep, fresh air and sunshine.
2. Eat all the nourishing food you need, but
avoid overeating.
t3. Dress sensibly and with regard to the climate.
4. If you get wet, change to dry clothing as soon
as possible.
5. Breathe through your nose, not you mouth.
6. “Celanliness is next to godliness.” Bathe daily.-
7. Avoid constipation.
8. Get outdoor exercise every day. Long walks
are excellent.
9. Avoid sudden changes of temperature.
10. Keep away from people who have colds.
The United States Public Health Service estimates
a direct economic loss of more than half a billion
dollars yearly because of the common cold, the aver
age worker losing from three to five working days
per year.
as is life insurance. For those whocannot afford to carry large policiesI know of no better way than theMassachusetts plan. It would be onewell worthy of adoption in Canada.CHURCH .... re-unitintWhen I was young good peoplewere concerned with the precisesteps on the road to salvation. Myfirst wife, who went, I am sure, toHeaven in her youth, was reared aBaptist and could not get a letter tomy church, the Presbyterian, so wecompromised by both joining the
Methodists on. a new confession of
faith.
As I get older, I see that we are
all travelling to the same destina
tion, and that nothing can be more
silly and un-Christian than for
church folk to quarrel among them
selves over forms, rituals, vestments
and dogmas. The aim of all the
churches is to lead people to better
lives. What difference does it
make which path they choose to fol
low? They all have the same moun
tains to climb. No church promises
an easy way to glory.
Sects are getting together in the
Christian world. The Church of
England is revising its Book of
Common Prayer as a step toward
closer Christian unity. The Methodist
sects in the United States are pre
paring to merge. What the world
needs most now is a united front by
all who profess or share the spirit of
Christianity.

FOR BETTER HEALTH
—By Dr. J. Rosalyn Earp—
CAN WE WIPE OUT SYPHILIS?
Granted that the barrier of silence is down, what
hope have we today of destroying this enemy called
syphilis? Other contagious diseases have been talked
about; not all of them have been controlled.
Without a smoke screen this particular enemy is
in a very exposed position. Since the disease is
spread by intimate sexual contact, it is unusually
easy to trace those that may have been exposed to
infection. Early discovery of infection, followed by
early and adequate treatment, immediately stops the
spread of contagion.
Congenital syphilis can be readily prevented. If
every woman had a blood test early in pregnancy
and all tyose with syphilis were promptly treated, no
more babies would die from syphilis. New York
State is considering a law to make such tests compul
sory. The law cannot do the job by itself, for mothers
cannot be compelled to consult a physician as soon as
they are pregnant. But public opinion can do this.
A good reason for believing that we can succeed
is the success of our friends in Sweden. In 15
■'years they were able to reduce the new cases of
syphilis from 6,000 a year to about 400. If the
smoke screen is really gone, we can do as well as
that.

Don’t neglect to cultivate your
house plants occasionally. The roots
of potted plants need air quite as
much as plants growing outdoors.
Frequent watering packs the soil
firmly in the pot and makes it im
possible for air to reach the roots.
If you aren’t equipped with a small
cultivating claw use an old fork and
stir the surface of the soil. Be care
ful not to dig too deep and injure
the delicate roots.• • •
Clothes for cruise and southern

and the rayon fabrics come in every

tailored suits find favor for travel
and will return as street suits in the
spring.
Bonnet* « la 1938
No spring Collection is complete
without its quota of bonnets—but—
bonnets definitely in the 1938 feel
ing—extremely sophisticated and
anything but naive—worn rather
buck on the head revealing the face.
Extremely chic and new is green
felt with open back and an enormous
bunch of red poppies placed flat on
the crown with trailing stems down
the back. There are bonnets of
glazed baku and one that that same
unusual alligator jacquard satin
makes a divine little black poke
brightened with' dashes of pink to
ward the rear. For the conservative
—a brimlcss bonnet of luscious ac-
qua antelope is something—some
how although very new in feeling, it
brings faint memories of that old
favorite calot.
VICTORIA THE GREATIf word were to be received thatQueen Victoria was coming to town,we fancy that people would turn outin large numbers to welcomewe shall be fortunate in seeing wiutis next best, a wonderful film showing many of the important events ofher life irom the time that she wasvisited by the Archbishop of Canter
bury and the Lord Chamberlain, to
inform her that she bad inherited the
crown.The pictures showing her coron
ation in Westminster Abbey, her
marriage in the Chapel Royal of St.
James' Palace and her home life ip
Buckingham Palace, were actually
taken in those places, and we gain
an idea of them and their beautiful
fittings. The marriage which took,
place ninety-eight years ago to day
was a magnificent affair, the Queen
being attired in white satin, trimmed
with Honiton lace, which cost ten
thousand pounds, and provided '•* ,
ployment for two hundred women wi
eight months. Anna Neagle lacks
none of the beauty and dignity which
the Queen was reputed to possess,
with a strong resemblance to her,
except for slightly added height,
which does not detract from the
charm of her portrayal.
It is worth while seeing the pic
ture, if only for its depiction of the
wedding journey to Windsor in a
quaint little train, with an engine
whose chief function seemed to be
to eject quantities of black smoke,
although it did finally succeed in
conveying the Royal passengers to
their destination.
One cannot have anything but the
highest admiration for the Prince
Consort who as well as being a de
voted husband to the Queen, was a
faithful servant to the State, always
devoting his energies to those causes
that worked for the benefit of all.
There is an interesting scene at
Balmoral Castle, showing the Queen
in all the splendour of the Royal
Stewart Tarton, which seems more
becoming to Prince Albert.
The Diamond Jubilee celebra- '
lion is rich in pageantry, as indeed
the whole picture is, for the screen
lends itself so well to that. Alto
gether it is a brilliant portrayal of a
brilliant reign, which no one should
miss.

. FIFTY-NINE YEARS AGO
"From the Files of The Oxford Tribune,
Wednesday, February 12th, 1879
The ice on Carroll’s pond has been in excellent con
dition for the past two weeks, and many of all sizes
and ages have availed themselves of the opportunity
to have a good time on .the shining steel without any
fee being asked, and no grumbling about the light,
as the full moon did its duty.
While Mr. Woodcock, our Town Clerk, was en
gaged in splitting wood on Monday, the axe caught in
a clothes line over head and the rebound struck him
a severe blow in the temple, making an ugly gash.
Mr. F. Squair, who during several months of last
year carried on an auction business on King street,
next door to Norsworthy’s block, has returned to
Ingersoll and is carrying on the same business in the
old stand.
Wm. McLeod, Esq., assessor, is out on his rounds.
Rev. E. B. Lofinsbury will commence the erection of
a handsome brick residence on Charles street as soon
as the weather becomes favorable.
Mr. Wm. Burleigh played a match game of billiards
against ten picked players of Ingersoll at Gustin’s
Billiard Parlors on Monday evening.
The residence of Mr. Manson, in the First Ward,
was entered by thieves during the absence of the

therefrom.
Mr. D. C. Bell has produced another very fine por
trait in oil, which is displayed in Mr. Gayfer’s win

The inhabitants of Ingersoll and vicinity are re
spectfully informed that at the annua! meeting of the
Ingersoll Branch Bible Society, held in Knox Church,
January 22, the following ladles were by a unani
mous vote of the meeting, elected as officers with
power to re-organize a'tadies’ Auxiliary of the Inger
soll Branch Bible Society, viz.: Mn. John McEwen,
President; Mrs. Watt, Vice-President; Mrs. Eakins,
Secretary-Treasurer. i
A short time ago the Federal Communications Commission in the United States, warned one of their bigbroadcasting companies and a long.list of stations that they were likelyto lose their licenses if they ever putanother program on the air like onewhich had brought an avalanche of
protests from indignant listeners,
because it overstepped the bounds
of public decency and good taste.
Up popped thousands to protest
that such censorship of the radio
was an infringement of the right of
free speech. Of course, it was
nothing of the sort. No one has a
right to come into your home and
use language which offends you or
your family or tell stories which you
do not want your children to hear.
Radio is different from the theatre,
the movies or the press. We can
keep scurrilous newspapers, maga
zines and books out of the home. We
can keep our children away from
offensive plays and—though with
difficulty—choose what movies they
can see. But the voice of the radio
comes right into the living room.
Every possible control should be
used that it does not defile our homes
and offend our sense of decency by
speaking the language of the gutter
where our children can hear it.
SPEECH . ... be careful
The surest road to success is to
master the spoken word. I do not
mean the ability to make speeches,
but to speak the English language
the way people of education and re
finement speak it. The young man or
young woman, who habitually uses
words which express the speaker’s
meaning plainly, enunciates them
clearly and pronounces them correct
ly has an invaluable asset; for when
he talks to people whose decisions
may make or mar his career, he will
stand out from the crowd who use
slip-shod English, incorrectly pro
nounced.
The use of bad English is usually
not so much from ignorance as from
carelessness. Employers do not
want help with either df those faults.
Incorrect pronunciation is a mark of
inattention or of poor breeding. Too
many unfortunate, children never
heard good English spoken, even by
school teachers.
Nothing galls me so' much as to
hear attractive and intelligent per
sons pronounce common words in
correctly. It is a sign that they
either do not know or do not care
what impression they make. My pet
peeve is to hear someone who ought
to know better pronounce “address”
with the accent on the first syllable.
• • V
LIQUOR ... in moderation
Now that the sale of liquor is
again legal in almost every state in
the United States, a great deal more
attention is being given to the study
of the effects of alcohol on the hu
man body. A great deal of what
used to be taught by the “temper
ance” lectures and schoolbooks in
my youth turns out, under scientific
inquiry, to be largely bunk.
We used to be shown horrible pic
tures of the drinker's insides, show
ing how alcohol caused many ter
rible diseases and surely hurried its
victims to an early grave. Some of
us wondered, in childhood, how if
that were to Uncle Ezra Peters and
the hard-drinking Rollins family, all
grandparents, happened to be spryer
and live longer than many goo l dea
cons who never touched a drop. It
is not fjur to children to teach them
lies, even in a worthy cause.
Now the state text-book boaid of
Virginia has approved new school
books which will teach Virginia child
ren the truth which every modern
doctor knows—that the use of liquor
in moderation is not harmful to
people in good health. It is up to the
parents and schools of today to teach
moderation, it seems to me.
INSURANCE ... at low cost
In the State of Massachusetts the
mutual or non-profit savings banks
have been issuing life-insurance pol
icies for more than thirty years.
Their experience has been so bene
ficial to large numbers’of people that
the governors of other States are
now urging the adoption of similar
systems. *What the Massachusetts plan
amounts to is the largest insurance
protection at the lowest cost to the
insured, and the most convenient
way of taking out insurance and
making the regular payments. Poli
cies are limited to $1,000 and month
ly premiums are paid at the savings
bank or deducted from the insured's
savings account.
There is no way. so easy for a man
or woman to provide for old age or
for the support of those left behind

MISSOURI INSURANCECOMPANY HELDANNUAL MEETINGAbout sixty policy holders of theMissouri Farmers’ Mutual Fire Insurance Company, met at Kintoreon Friday afternoon, Feb. 4th, in the
Foresters’ Hall, for their annual
meeting. The icy condition of the
roads no doubt kept quite a number
from attending.
The president, Mr. D. E. Hender
son called the meeting to order.
After the reading of the directors’
and auditors’ reporta, which were
accepted as read, Mr. W. J. Weir
took the chair for the policy holders’
portion of the meeting. Some of
the policy holders were of the opin
ion that the company was carrying
greater reserves than necessary to
assure payment of their losses. It
was pointed out that the Department
of Insurance had more faith in Gov
ernment Bonds than Premium Noles,
also that without these reserves they
could not enjoy the low rates now
in effect. Among the assets of the
company amounting to $63,874.74,
are Dominion of Canada Bonds at
$24168.00 and Province of Ontario
Bonds for $11,978.00 besides deben
tures of several of the better known
mortgage and debenture companies.
Although the year's losses stand
ing at $22,861.92 were about eight
thousand dollars more than the pre
vious year, the company were also
able to add better than eight thous
and three hundred dollars to their
assets. 3
The meeting endorsed the princi
pal of the rebuilding clause, whereby
only a portion of the insurance
would be paid in case of loss unless
the buildings were replaced upon the
land. Action was however, left in
the hands of the directors after it
was pointed out that such practice
would be useless until there was
legislation obliging Loan Companies
and Mortgagees to agree to this con
dition.
It was stated that one company,
using this clause optionally with
their policy holders, had found that
among the 25% not accepting it,
there were three times more losses
by lightning than among the 75 per
cent of the Policy Holders accepting
it.
Rural fire protection was also dis
cussed and although much desired, it
seemed to be the opinion that'this
should be arranged by the several
townships with some municipality,
having standard equipment, in which
case the insurance companies could
lhen offer a reduced premium to the
townships so protected, otherwise
the fire brigade might delay their
assistance until they found out for
which company they would be work
ing. Valuable assistance had been
rendered in the past by certain fire
brigades, but there had been delays
at times in finding the right and only
man who could give permission in
such cases. Several townships had
also been heavy lowers in reduced
assessment valuation through loss of
buildings.
Messrs. W. C. Vining, Fred E.
Day and D. E. Henderson, the three
retiring directors, were again elected
for a three year term. Messrs. J. A.
McKay and L, A. Pearson were again
elected auditors.
The Missouri statement shows
$13,469,360 of insurance carried by
3122 policy holders, a gain over the
previous year of 86 policy holders
and $271,042.00 of insurance.
At a subsequent meeting of the
directors, Mr. E. J. McMartin of
Thorndale, R. R. 4, was elected pre
sident, with Chas. Waring, Ingersoll
R. R. 3, vice-president.
Mr. E. J. Gleason, Lakeside, was
again appointed secretary and Mr.
James H. Davis, Belton R. R. 1,
Treasurer.

W. J. McKay, clerk of the session.
Dear Mr. Young:
In view of the long years of ser
vice that you have rendered to the
church and community, we feel that
we owe you a few words of apprecia
tion and good will. Your life has
been a tower of strength and an ex
ample of Christian character to all
with whom you came in contact.
Early in your life you identified
yourself with the church. For over
fifty-four years you have been anolder. For many years you weresuperintendent of the Sunday Schooland always interested in the youngpeople.The temperance cause was onethat always claimed your attentionand since the early days of temperance reform, when the Good Templars Lodge was working, you have
supported every endeavor that has
been made in that direction.
You were one who helped to or
ganize a Public Library in our vil
lage. You have always taken a deep
interest in the Public* School. Any
effort that has been made to bring
our. community nearer to the ideal,
has received your loyal support.
We rejoice with you that your
family, in the different places where
they have been situated, have been
good Christian citizens of whom you
may be proud.
As the Lord has been with you in
the past and sustained you through
out all the varied experiences of life,
we as a congregation, trust and net
only that, but we feel assured that
He that kcepeth Israel will still be
with you and will make for you the
evening and sunset of your life truly
glorious.
Please accept this little gift, not
for its intrinsic value, but as a token
of respect in which you are held by
the session of this church:—

Chevrolets, it was beauty that really ‘sold’ us.
“It’s so smart inside and out it’s made me
positively style-conscious. I’ve made it a point
to learn all about how the engineers have been
able to mould the all-steel body into the pres
ent thrilling streamline. How, by rounding the
radiator grille and adding those horizontal
hood louvres, they’ve modernized the whole
effect.
“Now take the interior. It’s so neat and ‘tail

Trinity United League
Met In Church Parlors
The Trinity United League met in
the church parlors on Monday even
ing, February 7th, with a good at
tendance. Eva McDiarmid took
charge of the meeting, and following
the singing of a hymn, Mabel Ham
mond led in prayer, after which the
minutes of the . last meeting were
read and roll called. The scripture
lesson was read by Agnes Durst, fol
lowed by a much enjoyed piano solo
by Betty Little. Mrs MacBain gave
a very intersting talk on “The Value
of Literature to Young People.”
The meeting was brought to a close
with a hymn, pledge and benediction.
If there is anything in the theory
of the heredity of accomplishments,
then Miss Margaret Lowe of Ameri
cus, Kansas, must have gotten her
knack at wood carvng from her fath-
ar and grandfather, both of whom
were cabinetmakers. During the
depression, Miss Lowe, who had been
teaching school, found herself with
out a job and started in carving sil
houettes'in .walnut. She employs
ten workers in her shop'and sells her
carvings all over the country. Some
of them have been used in Holly
wood studios.
TRAVEL MADE HIMCONSTIPATEDSalesman Says KruschenKeeps Him “On His Toes”“I am a commercial traveller,”writes a correspondent, “and due toendless travelling by train and automobile I find that I become constipated if I do not keep myself internallyclean. Kruschen Salts is the onlything that will Jo this effectively andnot interfere with my work, I take alarge dos# of JUu*chcn_£Yery Saturday night and on Sunday when Lhave no work to do, the Salts act onme. On week-days I take a smalldose on rising. It is necessary that Ibe ‘on my toes’ all through the day,
and this is the only way that it possibly can be done.”—V.L.Kruschen Salts is an excellent re-cipe for maintaining a condition ofinternal cleanliness. The numeroussalts in Kruschen stimulate your internal organs to smooth, regular ac
tion. Your inside is thus kept clearof those impurities which, when al
lowed to accumulate, lower the'whole tone of the system.

what he would do if he'd had mine.”

THE INGERSOLL TRIBUNE, THURSDAY, FEB. 10, 1938DORCHESTERF The death occurred in VictoriaHospital, London, on Thursday, ofEdwin Rogers, nine month old son ofMr. and Mrs. Cliff. Rogers. The infant took ill a few weeks ago and waslater taken to the hospital and seemed to be progressing favorably whenhe suddenly took a turn and passedaway. Funeral services were held onSaturday, from the home of hisgrandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Kirby,River Road, and were conducted byRev. D. McKay of Dorchester Presby
terian Church. The pallbearers wereVictor Couch, Edwin Lake, NormanLake and Bobby Lake. Interment wasmade in Dorchester Cemetery.

Mr and Mrs. Wesley Parkinson ofWoodstock, spent the week-end withthe former’s parents, Mr. and Mrs.S. Parkinson.We are pleased to learn that Chas.Mitchell, who has returned from thehospital, where he underwent an operation on his hand, is seemingly pro-
giessing favorably.Mr. Jack Rogers had the misfortune to break three ribs last week,
when he fell over some sleighs on
his farm, but is able to be around
again.The heavy rains during the week
end along with the mild weather,caused the ice in the river to go outeat-ly Sunday morning, and although
no ice jam was reported in this district, the river rose very high during Sunday and overflowed the Hamilton Road, west of the Morris mill,and made travelling by this load dan
gerous. A number of motorists managed to get through this strip safely,but it was rather risky, as the water
was rising rapidly.Miss Athea Mitchell, daughter of
Mr. and Mr*. Chas. Mitehall, wasmoved to Victoria Hospital, London,last week, where she underwent an
operation for appendicitis.Eugene Williams, an employee in
R. M. O’Byrne’s garage, sufferedhand injuries when'struck by an ironbar while trying to open a door in
the garage.

ported a resolution introduced on
motion of Councillors Stanb y J.

>•1THE INGERSOLL TRIBUNE. THURSDAY, FEB. 10, 1938' "KIDNAP 1111111111/^S.S .V a n D ine o.^,|First InstalmeatDistrict Attorney Markham loAedsharply at his old friend .Philo
Vance. “Do you like kidnappings?“Not passionately,” the detectiveanswered, his face darkening “Beast
ly crimes, kidnappings. About aslow as a criminal can sink." His
eyebrows went Up- “Why?”
“There’s been a kidnapping during the night. I learned about it
half an hour ago. I’m on my way—“Who and where?” Vance’s facehad now become sombre too.
"Kaspar Kenting. Heath and acouple of his men are at the Kent
ing house m 86th Street now.They're waiting for me.”“Kaspar Kenting . . .” Vance repeated the name several times, as
if trying to recall some former asso-
™.r ir ‘n«iibSr M We.I Mtb
S tMlrkhamanodded. "That's right
Easy to remember.”-yes—quite. I seem to rememberit when you mentioned Kenting’s
name. . . . The domicile's an interestin’ old landmark. I've neverseen it. however. Had a fascinatin’
reputation once. Still called the
Purple House.”"Purple house?” Markham looked
up.
“My dear fellowl Are you en
tirely ignorant of the history of thecitv which you adorn as District
Attorney? The Purple House was
built by Karl K. Kenting back in
1880, and he had the bricks and
slabs of stone painted purple, in
order to distinguish his abode from
all others in the neighborhood, and
to flaunt it as a challenge to his
numetyaus enemies. ‘With a housethat WTor.' he used to say, ’they
won't have any trouble, finding me.’But what about your Kaspar Kent
ing?”“He disappfared some time, lastnight." Markham explained impa
tiently. "From his bedroom. Openwindow, ladder, ransom note thumb-
tacked to the window-sill. No doubtabout it."“Details familiar — eh. what?"
mused Vance “And I presume theransom note was concocted with
words cut from a newspaper andpasted on a -hect ■ ■:"Exactly! How did you guess it?"
‘■Nothing new or original about
it—what? Highly conventional.Bookish, in fact. How did you learn
about it?”
"Eldridge Fleel was waiting atmy office when I arrived this morn
ing. He’s the lawyer for the ’Kenting family. One of the executors for
the old man’s estate. Kaspar Kenting’s wife naturally notified him atonce at his home—called him before
he was up."
"Level-headed chap, this Fleel?”"Oh, yes. I’ve known the man for
years. Good lawyer. He was wealthyand influential once, but was ,badly
hit by the depression. I got in touchwith Sergeant Heath immediately,and he went up to the house with
Fleel. I told them I'd be there assoon as I could. I dropped off here,thinking—”
"By the way, do you know thisyoung Kaspar Kenting?"
“Slightly,” Vance answered abstractly. “I’ve run into the johnniehere arrti there, especially at old Kin
kaid’s Casino and at the race-tracks.Kaspar's a gambleynd pretty much
a ne'er-do-well. "Always hard up.And trusted by no one. Can’t imagine why any one would want to
pay a ransom for him.”"Can’t really blame the chappiefor being such a blighter. Old Karl
K„ the author of his being, was abit queer himself. Had more than
enough money, and left it all to theolder son, Kenyon K.. to dole outto Kaspar as he saw fit. I imagine
he hasn't seen fit very often or verymuch.”“That may all be very interest
ing” Markham grumbled; “but I’vegot to get to 86th Street. This may
prove a crucial case, and I can’tafford to ignore it.” He lookedsomewhat appealingly at Vance.
Vance rose likewise and crushedout his cigarette.“Oh, by all means," Vancedrawled. “I’ll be delighted to toddlealong. Though I can t even vaguely
imagine why kidnappers shouldselect Kaspar Kenting. The Rent
ings are no longer a reputedlywealthy family. By the by, do youknow how much ransom was de
manded?”“Fifty thousand. But you’ll see
the_note when we get there. Nothing’s been touched. Heath knowsI’m coming.”
“Fifty thousand . . ." Vancepoured himself a pony of his Napoleon cognac. "That’s most inter
estin’. Not an untidy sum—eh,whaft?”He turned to me.“And do you care to come alongVan? Jt jtnay prove more fascinatin'
Jthan it sounds.”Despite my wnmulated. work, I
w*a3 glad of the invitation.The Sergeant led us into a stuffydrawing room, seated himself at a
small Jacobean desk and drew outhis little black leather-bound note-
book. "Chief," he said to Markham.“I think maybe you'd better get thewhole story airect from Mrs. Renting, the wife of the gentleman who
was kidnapped."
I now noticed three other personsin the room. At the front window
stood a solid, slightly corpulentman of successful, professionalmien. He turned and came forward
as we entered, and Markham bowedto him cordially and greeted him bythe name Fleet He was the lawyer
of the Renting family.
At his side was a somewhat aggressive middle-aged man, rather
thin, with a serious and pinched expression. Fleel introduced him to uscursorily, with a careless wave of
the hand, as Kenyon Renting, thebrother of the missing man. Thenthe lawyer turned stiffly to the other
side of the room, and said in asuave, businesslike voice:
“But I particularly wish to pre
sent you gentlemen to Mrs. KasparKenting.”We all turned to the pale, terri
fied woman seated at one end of asmall davenport, in the shadows of
the west wait She appeared at firstglance to be in her early thirties;but I soon realized that my guess
might be ten years out. one way orthe other.
Sergeant Heath broke gruffly intothe scene.“Don’t you want to go upstairs,
Chief, and see the room from where

whom?"
“A new gambling casino wasopened in Jersey yesterday, and my
husband was invited to be a guestat the opening ceremonies. Hisfriend Mr. Quaggy called for him
about nine o'clock—"
“Please repeat the name of your
husband’s friend.”"Quaggy—Porter Quaggy. He’s avery trustworthy and loyal man,and I’ve never objected to my hus
band’s going out with him. He hasbeen more or less a friend of the
family for several years, and he always seems to know just how tohandle my husband when he shows
an inclination to go a little too farin his—his, well, his drinking."
“Where does Mr. Quaggy live?”“Just up the street, near CentralPark West, at the Nottingham.
. . .” She paused, and drew a deepbreath. “Mr. Quaggy’s a frequent
and welcome visitor here.’’“Do you happen to know,” Vance
continued, still addressing the woman, “whether Mr. Quaggy returnedto the house last night with Mr.
Kenting?"“Oh, no; I’m quite sure he did
not," was the prompt reply.“When you found that your hus
band was not in his room at six thismorning, and that the lights were

“I say, just a moment, Sergeant.”
Vance sat down on the sofa besideMrs. Kenting. “I’d like to ask Mrs.Chief, and see the room front .where
turned to the woman. “Tell me,when did you first learn of your
husband’s absence?”
The woman took a deep breath."Early this morning—about six
o’clock, I should say. The sun hadjust risen." /
“And how did you happen to become aware of his absence?"“I wasn’t sleeping well las*
night,” the woman responded. "Iwas restless for some unknown rea
son, and the early morning sun coming through the shutters into myroom not only awakened me, but
prevented me from going back tosleep. Then I thought I heard a
faint unfamiliar sound in my husband’s room—you see, we occupyadjoining rooms on the next floor—
and it seemed to me I heard someone moving stealthily about. There
was the unmistakable sound of footsteps across the floor—that is, likesome one walking around in soft
slippers.“I got up, threw a dressing-gownaround me, and went to the door
which connects our two rooms. Icalled to my husband, but there was
no response of any kind—and Irealized that everything had suddenly become quiet in the room. By
this time I was panicky; so I pulledopen the door quickly and enteredthe room. . . ."
“Just what kind of sound was itthat first caught your attention,Mrs. Kenting?’’ *
"I don’t know exactly. It mighthave been someone moving a chair,
or dropping something.’’“Could it have been a scuffle of
some kind—I mean, did it sound asif more than one person might havebeen making the noise?"
”1 don’t think so. It was overtoo quickly for that."“When you entered the room,
were the lights on?” ;“Yes,” the woman hastened to
answer animatedly. “That was thecurious thing about it. Not onlywas the chandelier burning brightly,
but the light beside the bed also.They were a ghastly yellow in thedaylight
"And another strange thing wasthat the bed had not been slept in.”
Vance’s eyebrows rose slightly.“Pp you know what time Mr.Kenting came to his bedroom lastnight?”
The woman hesitated a moment
and flashed a glance at KenyonKenting.■ “Oh, yes,” she said hurriedly. “I
heard h come. in. It must havebeen soon after three this morning.
I heard him enter his bedroom andturn on the lights. Then I heardhim telephoning to some one in an
on and the bed had not been sleptin, what did you think:—and w.uit
did you do?”
“I was naturally upset andtroubled and very much puzzled,"
Mrs. Kenting explained; "and justthen I noticed that the big sidewindow overlooking the lawn was
open and that the Venetian blindhad not been lowered. I imme
diately ran to the window andlooked «..>wn into the yard, for asudden fear had flashed through my
mind that perhaps Kaspar had fallen out. . . . You sec," she added -
reluctantly, “my husband often hashad too much to drink when hecomes home late at night. ... It
was then I saw the ladder againstthe house; and I was wonderingabout that vaguely, when suddenly
1 noticed that horrible slip of paperpinned to the window-sill. Imme
diately I realized what had happened, and why I had heard those
peculiar noises in his room.”
“How many servants are therehere?”
“Only two—Wcem, our butlerand houseman, and his wife, Ger
trude, who cooks and does maidservice.”
"They sleep where?"
“On the third floor, at the rear.”
"Had you, or your-husband. anyprevious warning of this event?”Before answering,. the woman
looked with troubled concern atKenyon Kenting.
“I think, my dear," he encouragedher, "that you should be p-rfectlyfrank with these gentlemen.”
The woman shifted her eyes backto Vance slowly, and after a moment
of indecision said:“Only this: several nights, recently, after I had retired, I have
heard Kaspar dialing a number andtalking angrily to some one over the
telephone. I could never distinguishany of the conversation. And I al
ways noticed that the next dayKaspar was in a terrible humor andseemed worried and agitated about
something. Twice I tried to find outwhat the trouble was. and asked himto explain the phone calls; but each
time he assured me nothing whatever was wrong.”
“Was there nothing else recentlywhich you can recall, and whichmight be helpful now?”
“Yes, there was." The womannodded with a show of vigor. “About
a week ago a strange, rough-lookingman came here to see Kaspar—helooked to me like an underworld
character. When the man left thehouse I beard him say to Kaspar in
a loud tone, ‘There are ways of getting things.’ It wasn’t just a statement—the words sounded terribly
unfriendly. Almost like a threat.”"Has there been anythingfurther?”

and white.' The arrangements were
exceptionally pretty and brought
much praise from the dancers, in
fact, the opinion of a great many

lookirjg more beautiful. The stage
was most artistically arranged as was
the alcove where the special guests
of the evening were Seated. The
coverings for the lights and the
front of the platform bore lighted
crests with the letter* “I. C. I.”,
standing out in red against a back
ground of white.
