Group Hostess NEW BOOKS ATPUBLIC LIBRARYANNUAL REPORTS 37th Annual Report of the Lady Dufferin Chapter, Im­ perial Order Daughters of the Empire, Show 1937 a Successful Year. The secretary’s report of Lady Dufferin Chapter I.O.D.E., for last year, noted that nine regular month­ ly meetings were held during the year, with an average attendance of 22 members; six new members being ' reived into the Chapter and one valued member leaving the town. Funds were raised by means of the Empire Day Tea and a Commun­ ity Bridge Jea. A canvas was held in conjunction with the sister organ­ ization for the Canadian Institute of the Blind. For this latter, suffic­ ient money was raised to cover the quota required for Ingersoll and dis­ trict for a period of two years. The report of the Treasurer, Mrs. H. D. Riseborough, showed a most gratifying financial standing, total receipts^being $402.44. All the Chap­ ter’s obligations had been met and finances were in a most satisfactory condition. Locally, donations were given to the Women’s Auxiliary of the Alexandra Hospital, to the Clinic Fund and to the Missionary Circle of King’s Daughters for Christmas Cheer work. Donations were also sent to The Navy League of Canada, the Endowment Fund of the Order, the Provincial Bursary Fund, the Upper Canada. Tract Society, the American Flood Relief, the Nasik Hospital, the Work in India F^ind and to our ad­ opted family in Western Canada. The following is from the report of the Education and “Echoes” Sec­ retary, Miss Effie Bower: The Empire Study Committee planned a most interesting series of addresses on British occupation in South Africa, the following topics being chosen:—1, General introduc­ tion to the study of South Africa, 2, Cape Colony, early history, climate and products; 3, The harmonious un­ ion of the races of South Africa; 4, The life and work of Cecil Rhodes; 5, Rhodesia; 6, The history of the Ox-wagon in South Africa. As in former years, educational work has been carried on in con­ nection with the local schools. Prizes of British books .were avoided to pupils of the public and separate schools, for proffldfficy in Canadian history in entrance classes, and in English literature in the lower school of the Collegiate Institute. In ad dition to these, prizes were awarded this year for highest standing in English literature in the entrance classes. Seventy-eight Daughters of the Empire calendars were purchased by the Chapter. Of these forty were bought by the Chapter mem­ bers, the remainder were placed in the class-rooms of the local schools. In the forenoon of May 12th, 1937, the occasion of the coronation of their Majesties King George VI and Queen Elizabeth, the members at­ tended in a body, divine service in St James’ Anglican Church. In the afternoon, our Chapter jqined in a celebration held by the pupils of the local schools in Memorial School." *here, in conjuction with the Nors- Jrthy Chapter and the Women’s AuiQliary to the local branch of the Canadian Legion, the members pre­ sented a “Coronatiop” medal to each pupil, in commemoration of the. happy event. There were nineteen regular sub­ scribers to “Echoes" in 1937. In addition to these, thirty-four copies *of “Coronation Echoes” were pur­ chased, ten oftjMfese by the Chapter. News items relative to the Chap­ ter’s activities have regularly ap­ peared in “Echoes,” and these would show that the interest maintained and achievements made, compare very favorably with those of other Chapters throughout Canada. As has been the practice for many years, members attended the Armi­ stice Day service, laying a wreath at the base of the Memorial flag-staff to honour the memory of those who did not return.

Belmont Win* S. O. Rumi “A” Championship Thai^sford Lost Third Game On ^hturday Night By 4-1 Score. Belmont’s hockey team won the class "A” championship of the South Oxford Rural Hockey League by de­ feating Thamesford in the third game of the playoff series at Thayer’s Arena, here, Saturday night, by a score of 4 to 1. Thamesford was in the lead at the end of the first period, 1-0. This period was pro­ ductive of the finest hockey seen in the league this season. Both teams were at top speed and there was fine combination, strenuous checking and good jwork by the net . guardians. Thamesford’s goal was ’’scored by Mowat after 13 minutes of play. Belmont went on the offensive in the second period in a determined manner. Three goals were scored in about 15 minutes. HambTy got the first after nine minutes of play and Cloes an£ Rombough followed with a goal each in about six min- tes. A very fast pace was maintain­ ed and Belmont seemed to be strong­ er than their rivals in the third per­ iod. Belmont’s final goal was scored after seven minutes of play in the last period by Cloes, who was their chief sniper. Thamesford—Goal, Oliver; defence, B. Shewan and Clark; centre, A. Shewan; wings, Pelton and Mowat; subs, M. Hogg, Balzer, Connor, Young. Belmont—Goal, Barons; _______ Bartley, Rombough; centre, Hambly; wings, Cloes, Rogers; subs, Stewart, Crocket, Ward, H.

R, McClatchie, corner Can­ terbury and Wellington streets, opened her home to members of Group One of the Women’s Associa­ tion of Trinity United Church, on Thursday afternoon, for their regu­ lar meeting. Despite the very slip­ pery streets and bad weather condi­ tions, twenty-six members were in attendance. The meeting was in charge of Mrs. Latham Gregory, and opened with the singing of a hymn and repeating the Lord’s Prayer in unison. Mrs. F. McDiarmid gave the Bible reading after which the min­ utes were read by Mrs. W. E. Man- zer. Miss Jean Coventy favored the gathering with two well rendered vocal solos being accompanied at the piano by Miss Grace Sivyer. These numbers were much enjoyed. Read­ ings were contributed by Mrs. J. W. Millington and Mrs. T. C. Hamill. Miss Viola Cope was in charge of the Travel Basket and Birthday Book. Tea was served during the .after­ noon by the hostess, assisted by Mrs. W. E. Manzer, Mrs. Latham Gregory and Miss Lois McClatchie. The meeting was brought to a close by all repeating the Mizpah Benediction. A list of some of the new books added to the Ingersoll Public Library during January and February, has been handed to The Tribune by the local librarian, Miss Irene Cole. These books are as follows: Non-Fiction Belmont Welcomed Home South Oxford Champions Belmont — Sirens sounded and tiumpets blew in this Middlesex-El* gin County village Saturday night, when news was flashed from Inger­ soll that the Belmont Flyers captured the championship of the South Ox­ ford class “A” group. They defeated the Thamesford entry by a score of 4 to 1, entitling them to the Dr. R. A. Williams Cup. Kintore, winners of the “B” group, have the right to challenge the Flyers for the cup. This is the first championship brought to this village in the mem­ ory of the oldest hockey enthusiast. The Belmont team is composed of all ’teen-age boys, with the exception of one defence player.

It wasn’t aqy recent achievement, though. “You don’t win that medal in one year,” asserts Mr. Miles. “I’ve been a 100 per cent dirt farmer all my life, and a hybridizer for the last 10 or 11 years. The Ontario Horticultural Association's award is the highest of its kind in Cqnada, and it is based on work done over a period of several years.” Mr. Miles is very modest about his work. “It'll look as if I'm boasting,” he said, when first asked to tell about his experiments.

Kintore— Considerable excitement was caused around the village Wed­ nesday morning, when a fire started in Newton Crawford’s grist mill. The fire soon spread to Clayton Ironside’s barn and the St. James’ Presbyter­ ian church sheds. Mr. Ironside’s store and several other buildings were"tuy close to the blaze. The London fire brigade answered the call for help and although local fire fighters had the fire under control, water was soon pouring on the build­ ings, froHj/h pumper at the creek qnd all danger eliminated. Mr. Crawford saved his chopper, but his motor was destroyed. Buildings destroyed were insured. Gordon Robson, who manufactures cheese boxes had many stored in a part of the church shedff. Many of these were broken m they were thrown from the building when part of the sheds were torn down to prevent the fire spreading toward* the church and Wm. Mc­ Leod’s residence.

It is expected there sap. This opinion is based principally upon the fact that the frost has pen­ etrated the ground to a considerable extent and the apparent indications of an early spring. Although maple bushes are no longer plentiful in the immediate district, there are numer­ ous farmers who make more syrup than is required for their own con­ sumption.

I I SI ll — TH ^Mm------------------------------------------------(I l~*~T-----TUIW. R. VEALE, PublisherPHONES:—Tribuna Office, IS - RwudanM, 44 RA­TH URSDAY, FEBRUARY 24th, 1938This Civilized (?) WorldWe like to think of the world today as being morecivilised than it ever was. In one sense that is true,if by civilization we mean the multiplication of hu­man wants and the means of supplying them. Unciv­ ilized races and peoples do not want electric lights, movies, automobiles and radio, because they have never heard of them. The process of civilization, as we use the word, seems to be one of introducing back­ ward people to modern gadgets without which they get along pretty well, and making them want them so badly that they will go to work in order to obtain them. That creates business and doubtless benefits the new customers. It is a very remote corner of tha world in which a sewing machine cannot be found in every native village. By the clever device of giv­ ing away cheap lamps and a quart of oil to head men in the remote communities of interior China, the Standard Oil Company built up an enormous trade in kerosene. Good business—and civilization in a strictly com­ mercial sense. But does civilization begin and end with such ma­ terial satisfactions? Can people be called civilized who plunge nations into war? In a really civilized world would it be necessary for peace-loving nations to be constantly on the defensive against aggress­ ions from without?We think not. We believe that our so-called civil- ization is centred so completely on material possess­ ions that the world has lost whatever spiritual values and ideals it may have once held. In a truly civilized world there would be no fron­ tiers, no barriers to the free movement of peoples and trade no such mass greed and national selfishness as harass the world today. What the world needs is not more “modern im­ provement" but more of the ancient doctrine of the brotherhood of man. That and that alone, will put an end to war.o ---- Wages and Depression Increasing wages increase the cost of whatever is produced by the wage-worker. That is obvious. Shortening the hours of labor without reducing wages has the same effect. So much is perfectly clear. The employer of labor faced with the necessity, under pressure from any source, to increase wages or reduce hours of .work, or both, has only three recourses. He can increase the price of his product to the buyer, or lower its quality, at the risk of los­ ing business thoagh in fields like railroads and pub­ lic utilities where services and rates are regulated by law he cannot raise prices at will. He can intro­ duce, in many industries, new machinery to make labor more efficient. That is the way industry has been built up, in the main. Or, as a third alternative, be can go out of business. It is clear that the product of labor must be such as to earn whatever wage is paid, or there will be no industry left to employ labor at any wage. Every successful effort to obtain higher wages, or shorter hours of work for the old wages, must be compen­ sated for in one of the ways just suggested. Dr. Harold Moulton, head of the Brookings Insti­ tution of Washington, one of the most highly re­ garded fact-finding organizations in the field of econ­ omics, blames the present depression \upon the labor agitation of the past two years, resulting in increas­ ing the workers’ pay without correspondingly increas­ ing his output. That, Dr. Moulton says, has crip­ pled industry. Business la BusinessThat the interests of “little" business art somehowopposed to these of “big" business, has long been afavorite theme of political demagogues. Whateveris small is virtuous; bigness in business results onlyfrom vicious practices. That, at least, seems to bethe theory behind the recurring attacks on success;ful business enterprises.Business is business, whatever its size. The sameprinciples on which big business prospers apply tolittle business equally. Policies which are harmfulto large business are bad for small business.Politicians, however, will doubtless continue to tryto make capital of attacks on big business in the as­ sumed interest of the “little fellows’* who have so many more votes. TH E DO CTO R Tells The Story by W. E. AUGH1NBAUGH, M.D. FALLACIOUS BELIEFS REGARDING HUMANITY Perhaps no physician is better adapted to discuss the erroneous beliefs to which the majority of the lay­ men subscribe than Dr. Tom A. 'Williams, of Wash­ ington, D. C.—a friend of mine and a most experien­ ced doctor. In a recent talk with him he set forth the popular misconceptions about the human body and they are so worth while and so absolutely true that I take the liberty of telling them here. Eight hours sleep is positively not essential for health. Edison, and thousands of other intellectual men, did with a few hours sleep daily and enjoyed excellent health. In­ somnia never leads to insanity. Overwork is not responsible for a nervous breakdown and fatigue does not accumulate from day to day in the system and ultimately necessitate a long period for recuper­ ation. One does not need to plan his diet with great care, neither is a variety of food eaten at the same time harmful. Cucumbers and milk, oranges and milk, whiskey and oysters, acids and milk are not in the least incompatible and do not cause sour stom­ ach, neither are they causes for indigestion. Constipation is not the base of all physical ail­ ments, and it positively is not the result of eating the wrong kinds of food. Certain foods, such as fresh vegetables, and special fruits, help in overcoming the condition but there are other factors much more im­ portant which bring about this ailment. One’s mind has much to do with the physical condition of every individual. Dr. Billings mentions a case of an army officer who suffered a alight wound which should not have inconvenienced him. He was unusually ro­ bust, strong, healthy, but declared he knew he would die on the fourth day as a result of this injury, which he did. An autopsy showed that every orgar of his body was exceptionally healthful and that the wound could not ppssibly have caused his death, but he died nevertheless, because of mere mental sug­ gestion. FIFTY-NINE YEARS AGO Big Salaries The report made the other day of salaries paid to corporation officials was the first of such reports in which the top pay did not go to a movie star. The highest-salaried employee in the United States is Al­ fred P. Sloan, chairman of General Motors Corpor­ ation, who draws down $480,000 a year as wages. But in the list of the top fifteen salaries, ten names are those of movie actors, several drawing more than >300,000 a year. That does not mean, of course, that any of them has the spending of that much money. When you get up into wages of that size, the government steps in and takes more than half of it away in income tax. Then the movie star has to split his or her salary with a booking agent, a press agent and half a dozen other species of parasites, so that poor little Shirley Temple, for example, has hardly more than $2,000 a week to live on. One conclusion which such figures lead to is that people are willing to pay more for entertainment than for education.

Thus the grape leaf hop­ per pays no attention to red or green lights but flies directly to a pale blue light By putting a colored light inside a cage surrounded by electrically charged (wires, as many as 5,000 of the insects were killed in a single night- One such trap proved enough to protect an acre of. vineyard. The discovery holds great economic'possibilities for the farmer. It may prove the winning weapon in the endless, war between man and the insect world. Insect pesta cost the farmer-many-dollars a year. All that needs to be done, it would .-seems, to protect cornfield*, cotton-fields, orchards, citrus groves and other rropo from insect ravages, is to. find out just what colored lights the corn-borers, grasshoppers, bo II-weevils and the thousand other crop-deatroyera prefer, and light up the lanscape accordingly. Even if it does not kill the bugs, the night effect should be decorative.

( . . o«tlived ?From the beginning of mankind'scommunity life there have been pro­phets, priests and medicine men pro­fessing to have supernatural powers.As people grew in intelligence, andbegan to realize that these sooth­ sayers were human like themselves, they lost faith in their professions of omniscience. The desire for help and advice from some supernatural authority, however, is innate in hu- ,man nature, and in a higher level of civilization templet were build where people might go to ask counsel of the Oracle. None saw the Oracle. The petition­ er- laid appropriate gifts on the al­ tar and offered his or her prayer for guidance. Presently a voice seem­ ed to fill the temple, though no per­ son was in sight. The Oracle had spoken; the prayer was answered. The other day explorers in Syria unearthed one of these ancient al­ tars and found the clay speaking- tube through which the priest heard the petition and answered it as through a megaphone. Doublcss he was a wise man and gave advice as sound as it was comforting. The world has long ceased to believe in in Oracles, however. Only the very silly accept the voice of even Hitler or Mussolini as that of Omniscience. SALARY ... of President* People whose only standard of public service is how much money there is in it were surprised and perhaps incredulous, when it was dis­ closed the other day that Herbert Hoover gave away every cent of salary he ever received as Food Ad­ ministrator. Secretary of Commerce and President of the United States. Those who knew^him well were not surprised. Among his friends it is well known that he came out of the White House poorer than he went in. I once asked Mr. Hoover if he were not the wealthiest president wfe had ever had. He said he thought Theodore Roosevelt’s for­ tune was larger than his. A large part of the millions he was worth before the War he gave to the Com­ mission for Relief in Belgium and other similar causes. Some Presidents have saved money out oi their salaries, of course. Few have been men of means. Not one, x am sure, ever looked upon his office as a means of enriching him­ self. COFFE E...........................with cream To most people a cup of coffee is a mild stimulant. Coffee addicts who want a quick “pick-up’', drink it without milk or cream. The theory has been that milk diluted the cof­ fee, as so much water might also du. Now scientists have discovered that nothing else but milk will re­ duce the eiicct of the caffein which gives Coffee its stimulating power. A chemical action is set up by the reaction of the milk fats on the caf- fein, which changes its effect u,,on the nervous system. Down East people drink their cof­ fee half milk. “Boston coffee" this mixture is often called. It tastes very insipid to the habitual drinker of strong coffee, but is doubtless bet­ ter for the nerves. FASTING . ... old .tuff The case of the Rev. Israel Noe, the Episcopalian clergyman who late­ ly went twenty-two days without food or water and broke his fast only after his bishop compelled him to, reminded me of a “headliner" of my boyhood, a Dr. Tanner, who fast­ ed for 40 days in 1879. I don’t re­ member iwhy Dr. Tanner tried it, unless to demonstrate some medical theory. Mr. Noe was trying to prove that a man can Jive on faith alone. Ter­ rence McSwiney, the Irish revolu­ tionist, who starved himself to death in an English prison by fasting for 71 days, was making himself a deliberate martyr to the cause of Irish liberty. Mahatma Gandhi’s 21- day fast was a similar political ges­ture. Fasting has a part in almost all religious cults. It doubtless origi­ nated aa a hygienic measure. Doc­ tors agree that most people would do well to abstain from food for a day,on occasion. No doctor knows how long an average healthy person could live without eating, but all arc agreed that two weeks in absolute quiet is aa long as anyone can go without water. • • • WATER .... from ocean.

Those were the words of a sailor for whom the great ship possessed the qualities of a human being, pulsating with life and personality. A brochure recently received, shows us that if the “Queen Mary" is not a mass of flesh and blood, it is at least a most wonderful product of man’s ingen­ uity in every branch of construct­ ion. When the first Cunarder “Brit­ annia" was launched in 1840, she was considered a floating palace, with every possible device to add to her efficiency, and the passengers* comfort. In those days, fortunate indeed were those who could cross the ocean on the “ Britannia." But compared with the latest addition to the company’s fleet, she was small indeed; although be it said to her credit, that she rode the rough waves of the Atlantic with skill. What a diminutive object she would appear, with her length of 207 feet, beside the 1018 feet of the “Queen Mary.” So immense is the latter that the main foyer and res­ taurant would hold not only the "Britannia”, but also the three ships with which Christopher Columbus first crossed the Atlantic. In this age of tall buildings there is only one of a height exceeding the “Queen Mary’s" length, and that is the Em­ pire State Building in New York City. If the huge ship were dis­ mantled and hauled away by freight train, it would require forty miles of cars to carry the scrap. A ship that must resist the force of ocean waves, requires to bo se­ curely fastened to-gether. So ten million rivets were used to hold her steel plates and iron girders in place. Those rivets placed in a heap, would make a pyramid with contents of. twenty-five thousand cubic feet; or suppose a plot of ground one hun-i dred feet long, by fifty feet wide, there would be a pile of rivets five feet deep covering it entirely. Picture the propellors on some of our lake boats; then picture those of the “Queen Mary", weighing thirty- five tons each, ang pleasuring twenty feet from tip to tip. By four such Friday.

In keeping with all the other huge dimensions are the three funnels. In one of which three modern loco- inatives could be placed abreast to pass through. Within this giant liner there b accommodation for more than two thousand passengers, but should they wish to be out in the fresh air, there are three acres of deck space for them to enjoy, which amply provides against overcrowd­ ing, No ship is complete without a rud­ der, and the “Queen Mary" has the largest one to have ever been con­ structed for a ship, its weight of one hundred and sixty tons being euqal to the tonnage of the famous “May­ flower." The tragedy of the Titanic is still fresh in our minds, and the many lives that were lost because of in­ sufficient life-boats, when hundreds of people had to stand on deck as the ship settled in the water, though there would have been ample time for them to escape had there been as many life-boats as there should have been. On the “Queen Mary", there are twenty-four motor boats, each one accommodating one hun­ dred and forty-five people, and cap­ able of being fully loaded in a few seconds, under the control of one man. Thefe are still more interesting features about this wonderful ship, but as the title of this column would indicate, it is at the domestic ar­ rangements that we marvel most.

Borrowing to meet present demand for “specialties" is constnutnt borrowing, because it serves to please and hold customers for the "staples/’ inertajing profits. Wholesale Roues, dependent upon retailers’ orders for popular goods* often have to place in­ creased orders with the manufacturer. Borrowing to pay for such immediately salable goods is “good business”—htenasts profits. MonufactueD, called upon to increase their output of popular goods, must buy new supplies of taw material, hire more workers. To meet the in­ creased demand, they too may borrow—and inertaa their profits. The Bank of Montreal welcomes applications for loans with such con- ttnetivo objects.

There are also huge supplies of fresh fruit, milk, flour and potatoes—The perishable ones being stored in electric refrigerators with a combined space of sixty thousand cubic feet. We gain an idea of that huge space, when it is remembered that the average domes­ tic refrigerator contains five cubie feet. It almost sounds like a house occupied by a giant in a fairy tale. In the linen presses there are two hundred and ten thousand towels, thirty thousand sheets, ninety-two thousand napkins, twenty-one thous­ and tablecloths and thousands of other pieces. A good many Pris­ cillas must have kept their needles busy to fill that hope chest. Then there are the hundreds of thousands of pieces of china,* glass­ ware and table silver; to say nothing of the scores of vacuum cleaners that are used to keep six miles of carpet clean, for “ship-shape" is no idle term on the "Queen Mary," where absolute cleanliness prevails. Nor are her wonders yet exhausted, but our time and space are, so we must leave this great ship, with a sense of highest respect for her owners, a company that values human lives beyond all else, and therefore issues orders that its ships must stop for ice and fog, so that the passengers may enjoy a maximum of safety.

Jones in a re­cent issue of the Canadian Country­man, deals at length with the steady advance made by the dairy industry in Canada through the depreiuon years. It is most interesting to note the important place milk holds as a stabilized cash producing crop for the farmer. The district sunound ng Ingersoll is one of the finest dairying sections in Canada and our readers will no doubt assume after reading the article, which is reprinted in part below, with the authorization of the Editor of the Canadian Countryman, why Ingersoll and district were able to weather the depression years so well. Dairying in Canada has come to be one cf our largest industries. It employs far more people than min­ ing, automotive manufacture, steel, or the pulp and paper business. Start­ ing on the farm and continuing to the doorstep in the town or city, milk and its products provide employ­ ment for more than 300,000 people. The depression showed conclusive­ ly that economic setbacks in other lines do not stop the flow of milk. The fourteen and a quarter billion pounds of milk produced in 1929 increased by the time the depth of the depression was reached in 1932 to nearly sixteen billion. And by last year this had further advanced to about sixteen and three-quarter billion, the records of the Dominion Bureau of Statistics show: Milk and its products brought last year to Canadian farmers more than two hundred million dollars. As the total gross annual agricultural rev­ enue is around nine hundred and fifty million dollars, it is seen that more than a fifth of all agricultural income is derived from the milch cow. This was not so a decade ago when milk was only an eighth of total farm income. Compared to all other products of the Canadian farm, milk is today the largest single source of revenue. This statement is not true for the chief wheat-growing provinces, but it is true for Canada as a #hole, al­ though wheat ran milk a close sec­ ond last year, being only four mil­ lion dollars behind. It will probably pass milk in a year of good Canadian crops and high world prices, but wheat is largely dependent on marketvariations outside of this country. The following table from the Dom­ inion Bureau of Statistics compares the leading revenue-producing farm enterprises from 1931 to 1935. It shows that, at least in a depression, milk is the farmer’s surest crop.

One rea­ son is the great strides which have been made in sanitary control of fluid milk. Through the co-opera­ tion of the dairy farmers, the mun­ icipal health authorities and the dis­ tributing companies, epidemics caus­ ed by milk-borne diseases have largely disappeared, and an increas­ ing public confidence in fluid milk has been developed. This is the most important feature of the present sit­ uation, for no amount of sales effort by the dairies, and no amount of lecturing by the medical profession about the food value of milk would be ot any real use if people were not satisfied that this milk was pure. Half a century ago, when Canada was still more or less a country of neighborhoods, when the family cow was the source of-most townspeople's milk, the problem of pure milk had not emerged to trouble our minds. It was when the cities grew that the problem of safe fluid milk distribu­ tion became acute. The remedy has been expensive and will continue to be expensive. But in dollars and cents it is worth while to the indus­ try to' spend money for sanitary as­ surance. Great credit is due to the leading distributing companies that pioneered in purveying safe milk, for they built up a justly-placed public confidence that has allowed Canadians to increase their consump­ tion of milk by one-third in the last generation. Today no one seriously doubts the food value of milk, which,is aeclaim- Becobd-bbeakinc racing cars, speed boats and air­ planes have Valve-in-Head Engines.

Valve-in-Hcad efficiency means that more power is developed from gasoline. Or you can put it this way ... Chevrolet gives you more miles per gallon of gas, without sacrificing the full 85 H.P. performance you need. For instance, Chevrolet owners find they can take the hills without effort, get away faster at traffic lights, hold cruising speeds more comfortably. Yet these same owners report 22 to 27 miles and more to the gallon of gas!

There are so many other things that compete for the house­ wife’s budget money that constant reiteration is required to show that a quart of milk at a cost of a dozen cents or so, has the same energy value as a pound of beef at a much higher price.

The ranking, dairy companies oper­ ate research departments that find new and practical uses for milk. The.fact that the market for milk was able to absorb during the de­ pression an increasing production volume from the farms was due in no small measure to these research efforts in the dairy laboratories. The farmer’s cows work on a 24- hour shift and the milk must be i handled at once., In the spring, when most cows freshen, dairy plants and cheese and butter factories are flooded with milk. At other seasons, the supply runs low. Dairy compan­ ies guarantee a year-round market for the milk dairy farmers produce. So that peak season production may not demoralize the farmer’s'market, uses must in some way be found lot this. During 1936, butter took 355,121,- 500 pounds of milk off the Canadian market. Concentrated milk, which as it can be made and stored until win­ ter, helps particularly in maintaining the price the farmer gets for his product took care of 108,685,000 pounds. ice cream accounted for 7,272,798 pounds. Cheese, 118,- 111,700 pounds. There is a widespread misconcep­ tion as to the differential between what the farmer receives for milk and what the consumer pays. Actu­ ally ♦the dairy farmer receives a larger share of what the consumer pays than does the vegetable or fruit grower. Operating costs for mii,c companies are proportionately less than those of most other food manu­ facturers and distributors. ' Not all companies publish break- ' down of their costs, but figures from ' a report of the Borden Associated , Companies, of which the Ingersoll , plant of the Borden Company Lim­ ited is a unit, show that in these i particular companies’ total opera- ' tions for 1936, the following condi­ tions obtained: Out of each dollar the consumer paid for milk, the far­ mer received 46 cents. Wages paid to employees accounted for 30 cents, the balance of 24 cents covered the cost of transportation of every type and nature, pasteurization, refriger­ ation, gasoline, glass and other con­ tainers, fuel, feed taxes, insurance,' depreciation, repairs and other simi­ lar items. What was left for the companies of this 24 cents, after paying jflie above expenses, was a trifle leas than one cent tor each dol­ lar of sales, or an average profit on all milk sold of only 1/9 of a cent a quart There are not many indus­ tries which operate on such a slim margin of profit as this. To the casual eye’the milk busi­ ness appears to be a fairly simple matter of milking a cow and selling the milk. People who have this naive belief and who enter into the milk business soon find that it is a highly complicated affair. And it cannot be otherwise so long as the production volume varies widely with the sea­ sons and at other times, requiring continual adjustments in trying to provide a market, or so long as milk remains a perishable commodity that demands the utmost in efficient swift sanitary distribution.

Shortly after 7 o'clock,the visitors began to arrive andwandered freely about the buildingexamining the displays arranged inthe various classrooms. At 7.30 p.m., Mr. C. L. Bole, the principal of the Collegiate, welcomed the guests on behalf of the students and the staff. In his address, Mr. Bole stressed the importance of edu­ cation in our community and nation­ al life, and pointed out the various ways in which the school is becom­ ing more closely related to the ac­ tivities of life. Among the nqw subjects in Grade IV, Mr. Bole re­ ferred to Business Practice, which equips the students to meet the bus­ iness demands of adult life and mu­ sic which develops musical ability and musical appreciation. The speak­ er urged parents to try to make it possible for their children to learn to play a musical instrument before youth passes. Mr. Bole explained the school’s policy by which each student is encouraged to become in­ terested ip at least one extra-curric­ ular activity, as it is felt that in this way the backward students are brought out of themselves and their gifts and personalities developed. In closing, Mr. Bole thanked the parents for their co-operation and assured them that the staff is ready at all times to reciprocate in order that working together, the students of to-day may be trained to become worthy citizens of to-morrow. The guests were next addressed by J. Ferris David, chairman of the Board of Education. This speaker referred to the active part being taken by the students of the I. C I. in conjunction with the students of the Collegiate Institutes in the sur­ rounding counties. Mr. David touched upon the programs which are frequently heard by the I. C. I. students from CjF.P.L., London, and presented by the students of Lon­ don Central Collegiate from their own auditorium. These programs are heard on Tuesday mornings at 10.15 and might well be tuned in by the general public as in them, the forward trend of education is re­ flected. The speaker mentioned that although many improvements have been added to the curriculum, the cost of the study had increased very little the amount to be paid by the ratepayers of Ingersoll. Mr. L. V. Healy, chairman of the property committee of the Colleg­ iate Institute, spoke briefly at this time thanking the guests for the in­ terest they had shown in attending Education night and congratulating the First Aid team in standing first in Military District No. 1. At this time there was an interest­ ing demonstration of the new sound system which has recently been in­ stalled and over which the speakers of the evening had been heard. From 7 .”4 5 to 8.15, Mr. Brogden was in charge of a Spelling Match in Form IA, between the students of Forms IA and IB. This proved very interesting to the large crowd of spectators. Miss Barber -was in charge of a typewriting demonstration in the Commercial Fortn IIB and much fav­ orable comment was heard concern­ ing the progress being made by the students there. From 8.15 to 8.30, Mr. Wilson was in charge of a music lesson in Form IA and this enlightened the parents as to the fine type of music that*our students are being taught under thenew curriculum. ! Mr. Stevens, the Science Teacher, | was in charge of experiments in the, Laboratory and judging by the large crowd of spectators in this form, the guests were very much interested in the various experiments undertaken. From 8.30 to 9.00 the special pro­ gram in connection with Education Night was tuned in from C.F.P.L., London, in Forms III and IV, so that those who wished to, might listen, and at the same time admire the splendid sketches on the various ^blackboards which were done entirely by the students. In the gymnasium the finals of the school badminton tournament were played when Margaret Elliott and Janet Borrowman became the school champions in double competi­ tion by defeating Beth Small and Louise Butler, in a good game to watch. A gymnasium class was then presented to give the parents a liv­ ing picture of the period known as Physical Training. A splendid tumbling exhibition by the boys at this time, under the direction of Mr. Herbert, gained wide approval from the audience. To conclude the even­ ing’s demonstration, a basketball game was played between two girls’ teams from the school known as the “Suits” and the “Rompers,” the lat­ ter being successful. - Mias Kennedy was in charge of this event. A largecrowd witnessed the activities in thegymnasium and expresed deep satis­faction on keenese and precision dis­played by the students.The "staff and student* were de­lighted with the large attendance ofparents, and sincerely hope that itwill be possible to continue to make• Education Night", an annual event.—(Contributed.)MILL DECREASE ~IN JTHE TAX RATE Estimates For 1938 Struck By Council. Rate Set At 41 Vg Mills. Chief of Police Grant­ ed Small Increase In Salary. The regular meeting of the town .counci held in the council chambers, on Monday evening, was presided over by Mayor Alex. H. Edmonds. All members were in attendance and the feature of the meeting was the passing of a by-law setting the tax rate for 1938. The total amount to be raised for all purposes amounts to $125,538.45, i which will require a rate of 4% | mills on an assessment of $3,310,- [ 716.00. It was explained by the mayor that this was a reduction of one mill on the 1937 rate. Council­ lor John A. Weir occupied the chair while the by-law was considered in committee. It was explained that a larger reduction had been hoped for but it was necessary to add a mill for the new bridge and there was also the necessity of providing more money for direct relief in view of the reduction in the amount of sub­ sidy likely to be received from the Dominion Government. The estim­ ates were adopted as read without comment. In the report of the Finance Com­ mittee read by the chairman, Dr. J. G. Murray, regret was expressed chat the Council was not in a posi­ tion to entertain the request of the Kiwanis Club towards a grant for the proposed swimming pool. An increase in salary of $160.00 per year dating from January 1st was granted to Chief of Police Cal­ lander on recommendation of Coun­ cillors Weir and Morrison. It was explained that this was in reality only $60 as the chief had, been paid $100.00 last year for acting as weed inspector. / A report from engineer W. G. Ure on the Thames street bridge in­ dicated that there was no danger of damage to the bridge from flood waters. Councillor Smith took exception to the dismissal of an unemployed man he had appointed to make a survey of the town streets. After this mat­ ter was fully explained the follow­ ing resolution was adopted by the council: “That all able bodied men receiving municipal relief be under the direct supervision of the chair­ man of the relief committee and also that any other committee desiring able bodied men to work on munici­ pal projects be required to make ap­ plication to the relief committee stating the number of men required and the nature of work to be per­ formed.

Do you just takt something todeaden the pain; without gettingrid of the troi^ie which causes thepain?Headaches can generally be tracedto a disojflered stomach and to theunsuspected retention in the system of stagnating waste material whichpoisons the blood. Remove theseoof on-.--prevent them forming again—and you’ll never have to worry any more—from that cause. Andthat is just how Kruschen Salts bringhwift and lasting relief from head­aches.

NANCY HARTS HOME NEWS SPRING NOTES IN MODES and Jewelry If the jwooden drain boards at either end of your kitchen sink have become soiled and stained you can bleach them with a saturated solu­ tion of oxalic acid. After the dinner dishes are finished pour the solution evenly and generously over the boards and let them stand undis­ turbed all night. In the morning scrub well with soap and water and rinse with clear water. Do this several times. When the boards are perfectly dry, paint them with a 'soaking coat of raw linseed oil. Let this stand a couple of hours and then wipe off any oil the wood has not absorbed. Repeat this process twice and your boards will be as nearly stain- resistant as ,wood can be made.• • e • These lean years that we’ve been going through are not without their silver lining after all, because they have taught us the value of our homes. Time was when everyone’s idea of a good time was anywhere but home and for a family to spend an evening together was unheard of. The tide has turned back and with the revival of family life has come the return of simpler living, simpler foods and simpler pleasures. The homely arts and crafts of our grand­ mother’s days are popular again and many a modern housewife crochets a square of her bedspread or pieces a block of her quilt while she’s dum­ my in a bridge game.• • • Costume jewelry comes in exag­ gerated sizes this season.

If you should make a rug yourself be sure that the burlap is of heavy quality and evenly woven. If you stocked up your linen closet during the white sales you may be tempted to put the linens right into circulation. Of coures if -if you invested in brands that are scaled in wrappings which bear the manufacturer’s assurance that the articles.were laundered, you can use the linens at once. Otherwise, it’s well worth while to wash sheets and pillow-cases and towels and table linen before using. Even though the pieces .were clean when they left the factory, it’s inevitable that they be­ come soiled from handling by sales clerks and prospective purchasers. Put all household linens in cool water for an hour or longer before wash­ ing in hot soap suds. This insures snowy sheets and pillow-cases and totoels and table linens.

Under the snow blanket, however, on the dead leaves and soil along the margins of lakes and ponds, in river flood basins, in dry ditches, and in low places along roads and in fields and woods, countless mil­ lions of tiny eggs desposited by the blood-avid mosquitoes of last spring and summit are lying; quiescent now, but ready to spring forth pesti­ ferous life immediately the snow melts under the influence of the warm spring sunshine. a The larvae or “wrigglers” that will hatch from these eggs develop 'slowly at first in the cold snow-water, but warm rains and the increasing strength of the sun’s rays accelerate their rate of growth, so that by early May, when the snow has large­ ly gone and plant life is timidly put­ ting forth its mantle of bright green, many of the larvae will have trans­ formed to pupae, and some of the earliest mosquitoes will have em­ erged on the wing, and the females among them will be seeking the blood of animals and man. As already mentioned, the eggs of mosquitos can hatch, and the larvae and pupae develop, only in water, and it is .while in this medium that they may be attacked and destroyed. Once the adults have emerged and are flying they cannot be success­ fully combated. The possession of wings gives them great freedom of movement, and their large numbers and elusive habits and flight render effective control of difficult, if not an impossible, task. Their victims, perforce, must content themselves with swatting and complaining, or us­ ing sprays and dopes which are at best only temporarily or partially protective. So, now, while winter is still here, is the time to plan for action in spring and early summer to destroy the larvae and pupae while they are still concentrated in transient waters bodies. . Like other animals, these creatures must breathe, and this they do chiefly through tube-shaped organs which they force through the water surface at frequent intervals into the outer air. If a film of petrol­ eum oil has been sprayed on the water the larvae and pupae are cut off from the life-giving air, and in their efforts to reach it, their breath­ ing organs and bodies become fouled with the oil and they quickly die. Better still, because the effects are permanent, the removal of the water from the breeding places by drain­ age also destroys the larvae and pupae and prevents the development of others. By these means enormous numbers of jnosquitoes may be des­ troyed at small cost considering the benefits that follow. For best results proper planning and organization in advance is nec­ essary. Organizations dr communi­ ties interested in undertaking such work should write for further infor­ mation to the Dominion Entomolo­ gist, Entomological Branch, Ottawa. Copies of a circular entitled "Mos­ quito Control in Canada," prepared under the direction of the Dominion Entomologist, may be secured from the Publicity and Extension Branch, Department of • Agriculture, Ottawa.

Vance ex-amines Weenw, th<* Kenllnw outler. ' “Just a moment, Weem,—have I <the name right?” Vance put in.You’re the butler here, I under­ stand.” ,"Yes. sir,” he said, in a low rumb­ ling voice. ."And your wife is the cook, i \ believe?”"Yes. sir.”“I say. Weem,” Vance went on.dtd either you or your wife hear anything unusual in.the house, aftervou bad gone to your quarters?”The man again shifted his weight “No.” he answered. "Everythingwas quiet until 1 went to sleep— nd I didn’t wake up till Mrs. Kent-iig rang for coffee around six.” That's all. Weem.”The butler shuffled away lacka- jisically. ,T ,J think.” Vance said to Heath, it was a good idea to get McLaugh­lin. . . . There’s really nothing more to be done up here just now. Sup­pose we go down and find out what he can tell us.”“Right!” And the Sergeant startedtoward the door, followed) by Vance, Markham, and myself.Vance paused leisurely just beforereaching the door and turned to the small writing-table at the front ofthe room, on which the telephonestood. He regarded it contempla- ively as he approached it. Openingthe two shallow drawers, he peered into them. He turned to the smallwastepaper basket beside the table and bent over it.When he rose he asked Mrs. Kent- “Does your husband do his writ­ing at this table?”“Yes, always," the woman an­ swered."But did he never need any paste or mucilage?” Vance asked. “I don’tsee any here.""Paste?” Mrs. Renting appeared still more puzzled. “Why, no. As amatter of fact. I don’t believe there’s opposite here, makin* my regularrounds.”"Did you see anybody, or any­thing, that looked suspicious?" "I did. at that, Sergeant! Only Iwouldn’t say as how it was sus­ picious at the time, although theidea passed through my mind. Butthere waan’t any cause to take action.”“What was it, McLaughlin?“Well. Sergeant, a coupe—it wasa dirty green color —pulled up on, this side of the street along aboutthat time. There were two men in it, and one of the guys got out andopened the hood and took a look atthe engine. I came across the street and gave the car the once-over. Buteverything seemed on the up-and-up, and 1 didn’t bother ’em. Pretty -oon the driver got in and the coupe drove away,”“I say. officer.” put in Vance, "were both occupants of the coupe white men?”"Sure thev was, sir.“And couldn’t there have been athird man in the coupe?” Vance pro­ ceeded. “A smaller man. let us say,whom you didn’t see—on his knees,and hidden from view, perhaps?” "Gosh!” muttered McLaughlin.“You think there was three men in "Mr Vance doesn’t believe thatKaspar Renting was kidnappedmerely for money or that he mayhave walked out and staged thekindnapping himself. He said nethinks that the fellow is already dead.Heath* spun round abruptly to Vance. . .•The hell you say! he exclaimed."How in the name oi God did youget such an idea, Mr. VanceT "My word. Sergeant! It seems suf­ ficiently indicated.”“Do you really think, Markham,that your plotting Kaspar wouldhave gone to the Jersey casino to indulge in a bit of gamblin' on hisbig night—that is to say, on the night he intended to carry out hisgrand coup involvin’ fifty thousand dollars?”“And why not?” ...“It’s quite obvious this criminal undertaking was carefully preparedin advance. The note itself is suffi­cient evidence of this, with its let­ ters and words painstakingly cut outand all neatly pasted on a piece of disguised paper.”“The criminal undertaking, as youcall it. need not necessarily have been prepared very far in advance,"objected Markham. “Kaspar would Said Markham, "Vance, this doesn’t strike me as being on the level.*' any in thp house. ... But why?" "I’m merely trying to learn thetruth about everything, and 1 beg you forgive any questions whichteem irrelevant”The woman made no reply, and Vance again went toward the doorwhere Markham and Heath and. Iwere waiting, and we all went^out into the hall.As we reached the narrow land­ing half-way down the stakfe. Mark­ ham suddenly stopped. leHirig Heathproceed on his way. He took Vance by the arm, detaining him.“See here, Vance,” he said aggres­sively, but in a subdued tone. “This kidnapping doesn’t strike me as be­ing entirely on the level. And I don’t believe you yourself think thatit is.”“Oh, my Markham!” deplored Vance. “Art thou a mind-reader?”“Drop that,” continued Markham angrily. “Either the kidnappers haveno intention of harming youngRenting, or else—as Fleel suggests —Renting staged the whole affairand kidnaqgpti himself. "What I want to know, is why yourefused to offer any hope.""Really, y’ know, Markham,” he said lightly, but with a certain seri­ousness, “you’re a most admirable character, but you’re far too naivefor this unscrupulous world. Bothyou and your legal friend, Fleel, are quite wrong in your suppositions. Iassure you, don’t y’ know, that I am not sufficiently cruel to extend falsehopes to any one.”“What do you mean by that,Vance?”“My vford, Markham! I can mean only one thing.”Vance continued to gaze at theDistrict Attorney with sympathetic affection and lowered his voice."The chappie, 1 fear, is already dead.”Markham was stunned for a mo­ment, but he was, I could see, frankly skeptical.“You have'a reason for sayingthat. Vance?”“Tut, tut, my dear feflow.” Vance■eturned lightly. "This is neither the•lace nor the time to discuss thenatter. I’ll be quite willin’ to point •ut all the obvious evidence to you- ater on. At thte moment I am most .nxious to hear what McLaughlinhas to say to the Sergeant. Let’sdescend and listen, what?” McLaughlin was just about tospeak to the Sergeant when he heard -us enter the drawing-room. Recog-- i' nizing Markham, he saluted respect- ifully “McLaughlin," Heath began. I.’’What time are you relieved from ; your-beat here?” , i“Regular^n'me—eight o’clock.”' <1 “Where were you arbund six ■ o'clock this morning?”"Doing my duty, sir,” the officer t assured Heath earnestly; "walking idown the other side of the street that car?" "Really, McLaughlin, I don’t; know," Vance drawled. “It wouldi simplify matters if we knew there had been three men in the car. II crave a small pu^sy-fqoted fellow. "By the by, officer, uid you. by; any chance, stumble upon a ladder I during your nocturnal circuit inthese parts last night?”“I seen a ladder, if that’s what ■ you mean,” the man admitted. "Iti was leanin’ up against tha# maple : tree in the garden out here. I no­ticed it when it began to get light.- But 1 figured it was only beirfg useds to prune the tree, or something- There certainly wasn’t any use in I reportin' a ladder in a gent’s yard,t was there?” “Oh, no,” Vance assured him in-1 differently. “Silly idea, going aboutreportin’ ladders — eh. what? . . . t That ladder’s still in* the yard, offi-: cer; only, this morning it was restin' ; up against the house, under an opens window.”r “Honest to God?" McLaughlin’s eyes grew bigger. “I hope it wasi O.-K. not to report it.” "Oh, quite,” Vance encouraged: him. “It wouldn't have done a par-■ tide of good, anyway. : “Thanks awfully." He sauntered: to the sofa and sat down lazily, i stretching his legs out before him.■ It was obvious he had no otherI questions to put to the officer. i Heather straightened up.: "That's all, McLaughlin. Much obliged for . coming down. Go on, home and hit the hay.” The officer saluted and turned.i A moment later the -front doorshut noisily after him. ‘ “What pow, Mr. Vance?" Heathwas again resting his weight againstthe desk. “Oh, much more, Sergeant,”Vance yawned in answer. "You haven’t the faintest idea of howmuch I’d really like to learn about a number of things. . . .’’"But sec here, Vance." interrupted Markham, ”1 first want to knowwhat you meant by that statementyou made as we were coming down the stairs. I can’t see it at all, andrd be' money that fellow Kaspar isas safe as you or I." “I’m afraid you’d lose you wager,old dear.” "But all the evidence points------"began Markham. "Please, oh, please, Markham,”implored Vance. “Must we neces­sarily lean- wherever a finger points?"’’Damn it. Vancel” Markham re- i turned angrily; I want to know why 1 you said what you did on the stairs, I in the face of all the evidence to the ; contrary.” ) "Pardon nie, Chief." put in Heath; < “I didn’t hear what Mr. Vane- said 1to you on the stairs. I don't know <what his ideas on the case are."Markham looked at the Sergeant.1 have had time to do his cutting and: pasting when he returned from theI casino.”"Oh, no, I don't think so,” Vancereturned at once. "I took a goodlook at the desk and the wastepaperbasket. No evidence whatever of such activity. Moreover, the john-i nie’s phone call in the wee hours ofthe morning shows a certain amount of expectation on his part of getting; the matter of his financial difficulties • settled.”"Go on,” said Markham. “Very good.” continued Vance."Why should Kaspar Renting have! taken three hours to change to street i clothes after he had returned from. his pleasant evening of desult’rygambling? A few minutes wouldhave sufficed. And another question:: Why should he wait until bright daylight before going forth? Thedarkness would have been infinitely ’ safer and better suited to his pur-i pose.”"How do you know he didn't gc . much earlier—before it was day-. light?” demanded Markham. "But, my dear fellow,” explainedI Vance, "the ladder was still ieanin* against the tree around dawn, whenMcLaughlin saw it, and thereforeI was not placed against the window , until after sun-up.”,"I sec what you mean, Mr. , • Vance,” Heath threw in eagerly.“And Mrs. Renting herself told usthat she heard some one in the room i at six o'cjck this morning.”“True, Sergeant; 'but that’s not the important thing,” Vance an­swered casually. "As a matter of fact, I don’t think it was Kaspar atall whom Mrs. Renting says she heard in her husband's room at thathour this morning. . . . And, by theby, Markham, here’s still another question to be considered: Why wasthe communicatin’ door between Kaspar’s room and his wife’s leftunlocked, if the gentleman contem­ plated carrying out a desperate andimportant plot that night? He would certainly not have left tfiatdoor unlocked if he*’planned anysuch action. . . . And. speakin’ of the door, you remember the ladyopened it at six. right after heatin' some one walkin’ in the room inwhat she described as soft slippers.And don t forget that it is his heavyblucher shoes that are gone—not hisslippers.. Why, if the soft-footed person in the master bedroom wasKaspar, did he wait till his wifeknocked oh the door and called tohim before he made a precipitategetaway? He could have left at any time during the three hours after hehad come home from his highballsand roulette-playin’. All of which, I rather think, substantiates the as­sumption that it was another personthat the lady heard at six o’clockthis morning." Cont nued Next Issue A.

Considering the un­favorable weather and condition ofthe roads, there was a good attend­ance. The president, Mrs. BurtonHarris, presided. The Institute Odeand ‘‘Blest Be the Tie That Binds”,were sung, with Mrs. A. Dickout atthe piano, followed by the minutes and a financial statement read by thesecretary-treasurer. All memberspresent responded to the roll call bynaming their first School and theteacher. It was decided to invite thedistrict president, Mrs. A. Biump-ton of Tillsonburg, to the Marchmeeting, to be held at the home ofMrs. Roy Mitchell. The theme of themeeting was Historical Research onwhich the program was based. Mrs. George Groves gave a fine paper on“Many a good intention is wasted for lack of attention.” A very inter­esting topic on the ‘‘Early Pioneersof Salford,” was given by Mrs. Bruce Dickout, in which she not only re­ferred to the people but also the in­dustries and occupations in which the pioneers engaged, also wherethese industries were located, wherethe firrt school and churches were,' the' oldest residence, and many otherfeatures of this old village which was first carllpd Manchester. Mrs. GeorgeGroves also contributed many remin­iscences of by-gone days, regarding the social life, styles and customs, re­ferring to chureh. suppers, picnics, school concerts and many amusingincidents that occurred some fortyor fifty years ago. All joined in sing­ ing a number of the ‘‘old” songs,after which a display of “antiques,”arranged by Mrs. George Harris andMrs. Sadie Dickout, was admired.This display included a spinning wheel, hand woven bed spread, knit­ted bed spread, hand made babyclothes, old jewelery and coins, atallow lantern and candle molds, oldcrockery, china, glassware and silver­ware, old spectacles, photos, a cane,a sword used in the war with Napol­eon and many other historic relics.One feature of the present day, onthe program, was the new course ofstudy being used in ■ the publicschools, very ably explained by MissHelen Stover, teacher at 8. 8.

The National Flower Show is spon­ sored each year by the society of American Florists and Ornamental Horticulturists^ and has been staged •n 18 previd® occasions, in various large cities of the United States, such ms Milwaukee, Indianapolis, Boston, Philadelphia, Cleveland, Buffalo, Minneapolis, St. Louis and Detroit. At Toronto, the spaq^ous Auto­ motive Buildings in the Canadian National Exhibition grounds will house the 19th show, and, so great interest has been shown among the various Canadian horticultural soci- ties, that huge as the building it, it will be none too large to accommo­ date the numerous exhibits and dis­ plays. While the National Show is primarily one for professional com­ petition, there is much to interest amateur gardeners, and in the sched­ ule of the Show opportunity is pro­ vided for the participation of ama­ teurs and amateur gardening clubs, such as the Canadian horticultural societies.

DeBand and Get ASPIRIN MAMWCAMAM Ten woodlot owners in OxfordCounty have agreed to their woodlotsbeing designated demonstrations.The purpose of selecting these wood­lots is to draw attention to .woodlotsthat are being preserved and thathave forestry principles applied to their management. The woodlots are adjacent to a road and a demon­ stration woodlot sign is placed where it may be seen by passing motorists. * The following are owners:— Irvino J. Campbell, Blenheim Township; Delmer Kipp, Blenheim Township; D. M. Ross, West Zorra Township; Wilbert Smith, West Zor­ ra Township; A. Dunn, North Ox­ ford Township; Jas. Calder, North Oxford Township; N. J. Muterer, North Oxford Township; H. Roy Hughes, Dereham Township; Miss M. Morrison, Dereham Township; V. C. Dennis, North Norwich, Township; There are fifty acres in woodland on the farm owned by Mr. Irvine J. Campbell in Blenheim Township. | This is, in the opinion of the writer, the best large area of woods in Ox­ ford County. It is a bush that has always had care, and today it is in shape to yield yearly a substantial return from the sale of timber and fuelwood. Mr. Campbell is securing his fuelwood from defective trees and the material that is removed in thinnings and improvement cuttings. The woodlot on the Wilbert Smith farm in the 4th concession of West Zorra was the typical pasture wood-' lot that is very common in western Ontario. Mr. Smith realized that if pasturing and cutting continued there would be another Oxford County farm without a woodlot. The woodlot was fenced from livestock in 1923 and today there is a healthy growth of young trees up £o 20 feet in height that have come in by nat­ ural seeding. Four acres of open land were planted with pine. • There are seven acres in the woodlot owned by Mr. D. M. Ross on the 7th concession of -West Zorra, This woods is valued very highly as a windbreak as it is north­ west of the farm buildings. Mr. Rosa is one of the pioneer planters of for-st trees in Ontario os he plant­ ed trees in 1907. There are some fine planted pine, spruce and walnut 45 feet in height and 7 inches in di­ ameter. There are adjacent woodlots on the sideroad separating lots 12 and 18 in the first concession of North Ox­ ford. The one on lot 12 is owned by Mr. A. Dunn and it has not been pastured since 1917. There are no open places and the woods is very healthy. Fuelwood for the house is secured by cutting trees as they ma­ ture and thinnings from the second growth. The woods on lot 12 is owned by Mr. N. J. Muterer and was pas­ tured until 1930. It is still quite open but is seeding up and pine and spruce are being planted in the more open places. The eight acre woodlot 5 miles west of Ingersoll on No. 2 highway, is owned by Mr. Jas. Calder. This is another woodlot that was pastured until 1931. The beech ar# dylhg in this bush and they are being re­ moved for fuelwood. Planting has been done on a small area on the west side that had been cleared and cultivated. The woods is also val­ ued as a windbreak for the farm buildings which are southeast on the opposite side of the highway. The Morrison woods on No. 19 highway, south of Mt .Elgin, is an effective windbreak as the farm buildings are east. The woodlot is being improved by thinning and re­ moving the defective/Sees. Ever­ greens hav# been planted in open places in the woods. Another fine Dereham bush on the 9th concession is owned by Mr. H. Roy Hughes. There are 60 acres of woods and the large timber was cut off about 35 years ago. Following the cutting there were lota of wild raspberries and 40 berry pickers have been counted at one time. To­ day it is a fine second growth hard­ wood bush with trees 12 inches in INGERSOLL GETS ASPLENDID NEW NASH DEALER! G. G.
