A., $2.00INGERSOLL KIWAN1ANSLOYALLY ENDORSEBRITISH EMPIRE Resolution Introduced By Ki- wanian Donald Mackenzie, Adopted By Club At Supper Meeting. Following1 is the text of an ad dress delivered by Kiwanian Donald Mackenzie at the regular meeting of the Ingersoll Kiwanis Club on Thurs day evening-last, at the Ingersoll nn. Kiwanian E. J. Chisholm was in the chair and the resolution proposed by Mr. Mackenzie, was unanimously endorsed by the club: “I request your indulgence and kind attenton while I convey to you, on behalf of the Committee for Ag riculture and Public Affairs, a timely message and a resolution which I hope will meet with your approval. “Next Tuesday is May 24th. To citizens of the British Empire this day is known as “Empire Day." To Canadians it is the day when we, as a nation, celebrate the fact that Canada is a member of the British family. “It is a characteristic of man that he seldom knows when he is well off and that, to him, distant pastures invariably look the greenest. In this world of unrest, destructive in fluences, strange and peculiar ideals and ideas, greed, selfishness and dis trust, we should and must be grate ful for this privilege, which we pos sess, of living under the British flag. “It is true that in these democratic countres which constitute the British Empire, there will be found much that requires reform. That will al ways be the case so long as human beings have the power to make and enforce laws. We, as citizens of a democratic country and possessing the privileges of fflee speech and thought, may voice our opinions without fear of consequences. We, as citizens of Canada, possess the privileges of “vote by secret ballot," and thus the opportunity to exert an influence on the governing bodies of the State. If abuses exist and if reforms are needed, it is the citi zens’ responsibility to see that the governing bodies correct them. The governing bodies are the representa tives of the people and appointed by the people. They will do the bid ding of the people if the people de mand it. We, as citizens of a democratic country and a democratic Empire, can think and speak and act as we desire, so long as moral and social codes are not infringed. “Compared with this, what can ether forms of government offer you? Dictatorship, as exemplified by'Wscism and Nazi-ism, can offer you complete loss of freedom of speech, loss of freedom of thought and loss of freedom of worship. It can offer you regimentation of the individual for the benefit of the State which apparently really means for, the benefit of a group of power- drunken men, whose motives are open to question. Dictatorship ap parently can also offer you low standards of living, possible starva tion, control of your children by. the State, and complete loss of personal’ liberty and all the privileges for which our ancestors fought and died, in order to win for us, “Communism can offer you an ideal in social government which, because of human nature, has proved to be absolutely impracticable and jrhich, in the one country where it has been seriously tried, has devel oped into a dictatorship equally as severe as any other form of “ism." “Would any man here willingly exchange our British system of dem ocracy with all its faults, for a sy stem of dictatorship or „ any. other system of government now practised in the world today? I doubt it. We must be thankful for the British Em pire and its democratic principlesaii»rwe should be proud of the fact that, we, as citizens of Canada, are members of this family. Permit me to quote from an edi torial which appeared in an issue of the “Globe" some seven or eightyears ago: Terhaps a thought or two as to a world without a British/ Throne, or a British Family link affords a better comment on theEmpire itself than volumes jofeulogy. *A world without the BritishEmpire would be a, world where wars would be More frequentand deadly. 'A world without a BritishEmpire would be a world deprived of its strongest safeguards for freedom of worship. freedom of thought, and freedom of speech.‘A world without a BritishEmpire would be a world deprived of the greatest agencyfor the preservation and extension of literacy and knowledge.‘A world without a British Empire would be a world lessassured of justice between manand man. class and class, creedand creed, nation and nation.‘The British Empire is anything but perfect. It has leftundone many things it ought tohave done, and has done manythings it ought not to have done. But it remains the most trustworthy human agency for thepreservation of what is good inthe world, and the most formidable human obstacle in the wayof what is bad.’“And what of our beloved Can ada, one of the most influential and important members of the British Empire? Is she carefully guarding the heritage of liberty which was won with so much difficulty by our forefathers? “Numerous speakers at the meet ings of this Club have opened our eyes to some of the subversive influences which are developing in this land of ours. “In recent months, certain events have happened in this country which may well give us cause for concern and alarm. Certain statements have been made by influential citizens, some of whom are our appointed re presentatives to the governing bodies of this State, which may well lead to dis-unity of the Provinces and cur tailment of liberty of speech and thought. Undesirable influences are all about us and must not be ig nored. Some day, Canada should become one of the greatest nations in the world, but that can only be achieved by co-operation and unity between the peoples of the Provin ces. Remember the adage: “United we stand; Divided we fall." Canad ians must remain united, if not for our own sake, for the sake of our children and our children’s children. And this union must be under demo cratic principles because we Canad ians are essentially a democratic people. “We, as Kiwanians, must accept our responsibility as citizens of this State and tmite to fight destructive influences. Therefore, President Elmer and members of the Ingersoll Kiwanis Club, I wish to make tfie following resolution and ask that it be adopted by Ais Club 100%, and placed on our records. This reso lution, based on one recently adopt ed by the Kiwanis Club of Montreal, and recommended to us by the Inter national Committee on Public Affairs for Canada, reads as follows: “Whereas the members of theKiwanis Club of Ingersoll notewith alarm the Dominion-wideinfluences currently at workwhich are potentially dangerousto the unity and well-being of-Canada as a whole.“And Whereas, the membersof the Kiwanis Club of Ingersoll likewise survey world unrest, subversive influences, and the decline of personal libertyand democratic institutions.“Be It Resolved, that themembers of the Kiwanis Club ofIngersoll hereby re-affirm at this time their adherence to theprinciples of 'Confederation,their loyalty to a United Canadaand the Empire, their beliefthat the future prosperity and happiness of the citizens of thenine Provinces of Canada areabsolutely dependent on com plete inter-provincial co-operation and good will."“President Elmer—I feel that the adoption of this resolution by the Kiwanis Club of Ingersoll will serve to impress the inhabitants 'of this Community with the fact that there is need for action on the part of all loyal citizens if Canada is to con tinue a United Dominion.” Mrs. J. F. Fulton, Hostess To Trinity W. A. Mrs. J. Frank Fulton, King street west, was hostess to members of group five of the Wonren’s Associa tion of Trinity United Church for their regular meeting. There was a very good attendance and an en joyable social time was spent During the afternoon readings were contributed by Mrs. F. P. Leake and Mrs. E. L. Olmstead and piano solo by Miss Betty Little. Refreshments were served by the hostess after a short business meet ing. The next meeting will be held at the home of Mrs. R. A. Bigham, cor ner Wonham and Ann streets. BORN DOUGLAS—In Ingersoll, on Tues day, May 17th, 1038, to Mr. and Mrs. Fred M. Douglas, 46 Canter bury street, a daughter—Helen Isabel. PONY ARRIVES FORCONTEST WINNERThe lovely Shetland pony that is to be given as first prize by the mer chants sponsoring the Pony Contest has arrived in Ingersoll. It is black and white in color and appears to be a very fine type of animal. It is being quartered in the barn on the farm of Leo J. Kirwin, just south of Ingersoll, where it can be viewed and inspected at any time. About a month remains until the contest closes and from all indications there will be a keen battle for votes from now until the finish. Community “Y” Are Sponsoring Banquet On Tuesday night next, at the Baptist Church, the Ingersoll “Y” is sponsoring a Community Banquet which will have appeal for a large number of citizens, young and old. The attraction will be three-fold in character. The committee in charge have been fortunate in securing as special speaker, Mr. J. H. Crocker, Physical Director of Western Univer sity, who is to show moving pictures and tell of his experiences at the re cent British Empire Games in Aus tralia, which he attended with the Canadian contingent of athletes. Second, the event is to be an official closing of the “Y” in-door season, and all membership groups and teams will be out in full force with their friends. And last, but not by any means least, the popular “Y" Girls’ Basketball Team, twice-cham- pions of the Ontario “Y” cage" league, will be honored, and will re ceive a special presenation from the Ingersoll Town. Council. As a large attendance is anticipa ted, the committee requests that citi zens make reservation at once; and the catering arrangements will ,be facilitated if tickets are secured at the “Y” office or from members within the next twenty-four hours, St. James’ W.

Pensions OfficialConferred WithThe Local Board H. B. Bentley of Toronto, chair man of the Mothers’ Allowance Com mission, addressed the regular meet ing of the newly appointed local pen sions board last week and led in a round table discussion on the acts and regulations respecting old age pensions, pensions for the blind and mothers* allowances. Mr. Bentley has been connected with the mothers’ allowances com mission since the inception of the act, and takes a personal interest in every family receiving an allowance. He pointed with pride to the young men and young women who are hold ing responsible positions today, thanks to a courageous mother and the assistance she received by vir tue of the mothers* allowance act of this province. In special tribute to the mothers of families benefltting under this act, the speaker stated that since one year prior to the depression not more than one of these families in a thousand had to go on relief. While Mr. Bentley has devoted his life and talents for many years to child and family welfare in all its phases, he is equally conversant with other aspects of social legisla tion, notably, old age pensions and pensions for the blind. In extending their thanks to the speaker, the members of the board expressed a desire to meet with Mr. Bentley more frequently and indiv idually and collectively promised co operation to him and his co-workers of the pensions commissions. • The teacher had been giving a lesson on the reindeer—its haunts, habits'and use£ One boy was not paying the slighest attention, so the teacher pounced on him.

Copper scramble for girls 12 yean Governor’s Road ToBe Provincial HighwayUpon recommendation of Hon. T. B. McQuesten, Minister of High ways, the Ontario government has passed an order-in-council designat ing the Governor’s Road between Woodstock and Thamesford as pro vincial highway. The mileage assum ed commences at the 11th line of East Zorra, west of the bridge. The decision means that the direct route, which is at present township road, will become part of the new four- lane highway, instead of that part of King’s Highway No. 2 between Woodstock and Thamesford via Beachville and Ingersoll. With exception of a short distance between the intersections of the Eeachville-Embro county road, the mileage is maintained by the town ships of which it is a boundary: East Zorra, West Zorra and East Nissouri on the north and North Oxford on the south. It will have to be con siderably widened for contraction of four-lane pavement.

VEALE, PublisherPHONES:—Tribune Office, 13 - Reeidence, 442A.THURSDAY. MAY 26th. 1937Business Needs Only CourageTo the oft-reiterated complaint that business menare timid and unwilling to do their share towardbringing about recovery, a dramatic reply was madea week or two ago by one of the largest chain-store systems. These merchants did not content themselves with making patriotic speeches or issuing statements to the press saying they were ready to spend money. Instead of making empty gestures, they acted. They ran big display advertisements in newspapers announcing that they wanted to buy merchandise on an unprecedented scale. Five million dollars of first quality merchandise, and they wanted it that very week. Their ordinary prchases are a million dol lars a week. They were confident that through their 1600 outlet* they couid sell double that amount every week, if manufacturers, wholesalers and jobbers were willing to join them in cutting profits and giving the public real savings in their purchases. So they engaged quarters in a big New York hotel where their whole staff of buyers was ready to meet the people who had their kind of merchandi* to sell. The sellers came in droves, and the mechants bought -five million dollars’ worth of goods, largely for cash. ‘•We thought it was time for business to prime its own pump," said the president of one of the largest chains of stores. "We are convinced that the public is buying again, and that business will pick up if business men only believe it and prove their belief by actipg on it." « There is something of importance in this incident. If every business concern in the Nation would go ahead in the same fashion instead of whining about business being slow', the wheels of industry would soon begin to revolve again and the economic situation would be well on its way to solution. Family ReunionsThe happy custom of holding family reunions stillfinds favor and large gatherings will no doubt attendsuch events this year. This is a pleasant way tostrengthen the family ties. It seems to us a valuable feature might be added to these gatherings byhaving some member of the clan prepare for eachreunion a short paper dealing with some feature ofthe family history. As the older generation passes,it becomes more difficult to gather the material forsuch articles and by making them a feature of thereunions much history that would be of interest torelatives, both now and in later years, woujd be put on record. » Some annual family reunions were held on May 24th and they now will be the order of the day until early in September. , THE D O C T O R Tells The Story by W. E. AUGHINBAUGH, M.D. I TODAY andTOMORROWby Frank Barker Stockbridge |A N T S ..............................indu»triou* Guarantees of Peace The war talk which has been heard so volubly for the past year or so seems to be subsiding, but there is as yet no certainty that we have arrived at the era of perpetual peace. That era will never arrive until the nations find a basis of agreement as to the division of the world among them in accordance with their needs. Peace can never be permanent so- long as any nation feels that it is unjustly excluded from rights and privileges which others enjoy. Once a people become so nation-conscious that they not only deny to others the right to differ with them but insist tij^n their innate superiority over their neighbors, the seeds of war have been sown. When strong nations adopt that attitude toward the rest of the world, there is nothing the non-aggressive nations can do for self-preservation but to arm themselves and hold themselves ready for the inevitable conflict which will come as soon as the arrogant nations be lieve it can win a war. The millennium is a long way off. The perfect guarantee of perpetual peace would be the complete and sincere recognition by everyone in the world of the essential" brotherhood of all mankind and the com plete equality of all human beings in the sight of God. Lacking that, the next best security of peaceful peoples is a sufficiently strong system of national de fense to make any other nation hesitate before doing anything to stir up trouble. ADVICE FROM "CRANKS" Unquestionably physicians and hospital executives receive more advice from "cranks" without any know ledge of medicine and surgery, than others. No sane individual questions the fact that Dr. Allan Roy Da foe, the country doctor, who brought the Dionne quintuplets into the world, knows just what to do with children, especially in a region where there are few modern conveniences. EVEN MAIDEN LADIES He told me that he had received thousands, of let ters of advice regarding how to treat them—from veterinarians, chiropractors, astrologers, even maiden ladies, and they came daily from all parts of the world. One grandmother wanted them to be fed sheepdung tea. A man from Yorkshire, England, sent a lactating sow, asking that it be trained to lie down and permit the infants to suckle it as its litter of pigs had done. Prize cows, asses and goats, came by the dozen, each donor urging the use of their milk for the babies, Watermelon juice, horse radish, blackberry juice, knotweed extract, sasafras, and "home remedies" galore arrived. Hundreds of cases of whiskey were shipped for use of the prodigies and thousands of letters came from temperance cranks, warning him not to administer alcohol in any form. A beauty cream concern offered to send an "expert” to daily massage the infants with its preparations. IT HAPPENED AGAIN And while the world was telling Dr. Dafoe just how to attend these fortunate babies, in the backwoods of Nova Scotia, with the temperature below zero, a poverty stricken mother gave birth to five boys, born like the Dionne children, two months before full term. They were a decided surprise to that family too-*-so much so that the window curtains and rugs from the floor were used to cover them. Proper food was lacking. Before the father could return in his sleigh with the doctor after a twenty mile drive, the infants froze to death.

The Canadian and American people do respond to the ‘‘play ball" mandate of the umpire in very real fash ion. For one thing the season's opening is the win ter’s closing no matter how wintry the weather may be. A sluggish mental process is quickened by this sport tonic. Many a vexing problem becomes simple or of no consequence once baseball scores become the theme of common conversation. Other sports have their followers, but there is only one universal game of the outdoors. That is baseball. It is essentially Canadian and American, if not exclusively so. In the face of it, troubles over unemployment and busi-. ness and requited love and farm prices and politics do not seem half so serious. The opening of the baseball season really is just another of the spring elixirs. Ingersoll played at Tillsonburg on Wednesday last in the first game of the season, winning it by a 4-2 score from the home team. The first local game was on Saturday, when Straffordville, last year’s O.B.A.A. Intermediate 4*C" Champiops clashed with the Kestle's Chevrolets the Ontario Intermediate *‘B” Champion ship winners. s This Glorious Spring All over the Northern Hemisphere Spring is in .its glory. Six weeks ago the sun crossed the Equator and we of the upper half of the world now feel the , benefit of its rays shining more directly upon us, jwhile our neighbors to the South are making their preparations foi^Vinter. ’ Whether, as sopic scientists maintain, the axis up on which this sphere which we call Earth revolves was given a tilt by accidentally bumping into a comet, or whether it was by the deliberate plan of the Great er of all things that no part of the globe presents the came angle to the Sun all the year around, no one ean doubt that it is a much more satisfactory planet to live on because, of the continual change of the seasons. 7 — Only a few undeveloped peoples have evyr been able to maintain existence in the regions where the aun is almost overhead all the time. The parts of the Earth where civilization has-been most highly developed and where Man’s ingenuity and resource fulness have achieved their highest triumphs are those north and south of the tropics, where the .procession of the seasons lends constant variety to life and its manifestations. Al) of which is another way'of saying that Spring is in its glory once again and we are glad of it. From the Files of The Oxford Tribune, Wednesday, May 28th, 1879 On the 29th insf., the electors of South Oxford will be called upon to nominate”a candidate for the Local Legislature of Ontario. C. E. Chadwick offers him self as an independent Reform candidate. A large number of the drivers on the Great Western Railway, placed flags on their engines in honor of the Queen's birthday. •♦ ■ Mr. A. G. McKay of East Nissiuri, sold a handsome “Bashaw Abdallah" filly week before last, to Mr. John Knox of North Dorchester, for $110.00. A grand excursion to Kansas, Nebraska on June 10th next, from Ingersoll, is offered for $30.00. The trip is 2,480 miles. ♦ The social and bazaar held on Friday and P-tur- day last, under the direction of the ladies of the fig Street Methodist Church was very successful, the handsome sum of $175 being the result.----- < A lawn party and parlor concert wiy be held at the residence of Rev. R. N. Grant, on Monday evening, June 2nd, One day last week, Dr. McCausland removed a very painful tumor of great size and long standing, from the face of Mr. Edward Lawler, West Oxford. A colored woman named Mary Ann Ovens, came to her death very suddenly on Thursday last from val vular disease of the heart. The bridge committee met in the council chamber and received tenders for an iron bridge across the river at Thames street. Two tenders received were from the Hamilton Bridge Co., and from the Toronto Iron Bridge Co. On Friday evening last, several of our business men, with members of the council and Board of Trade, met in the council chamber for the purpose of reorganizing and increasing the usefulness of the cheese market here. On Saturday night last a very serious, if not fatal, accident happened to Mrs. Jas. Pickard, who resides north of the river. The sixtieth anniversary of the birthday of our Sovereign Queen Victoria, was observed as a holiday in Ingersoll Monday. The day passed oflTquietly as no arrangement# were made for a public demonstration.In the evening a number ofjjur patriotic citizens made arrangements for a very creditable display of fireworks on the vacant grounds near the park. One of the signs of approachingSum’mer in the country is the increasing number of anthills. Littleheaps of sand are appearing overnight all over my place. I nevercease to wonder at the patient indus try of these little underground work ers who dig their caves and tunnels and bring the excavated earth to the surface a grain at a time. A friend I know has built up a comfortable bus iness in "ant colonies” enclosed in glass and so arranged that one can see the ants actually at work. There is nothing much more fas cinating than the study of living creatures of any kind, especially those who live underground. Beneath the surface of my Pennsylvania vil lage home dwell moles, who have al most devastated my wife’s flower- garden; earthworms, of which both the robins and I wish thera. were more, and, unhappily, the larvae of the Japanese beetles, who will be coining to the surface before long to chew up the shrubbery. 1 suppose that we also have the tent caterpil lars and some slumbering seventeen year locusts among our subterran ean neighbors. Cave-dwellers that I miss in Pen nsylvania, who were common around my old New England home, are the woodchucks and the chipmunks.• • • DIRT . . • . . near railroads If and when the Federal Govern ment takes over the railroad systems of the nation, which seems not im probable, I hope the first thing they will do will be to put men to work cleaning up the unsightly mess of dirt, litter and filth through which most railroads run, especially where they go through towns. I travel around"the country a good deal on trains. I know of only one railroad which makes any at- * tempt to beautify its right of way. This road hfts planted crimson ramb ler roseft on the banks of every earth cut through which its rails run. But very few communities have done anything to keep the part of the town-which the railroad traveller sees from looking like anything but a rubbish dump. The small towns are the worst offenders. If they had any local pride they would get the Boy Scouts or the local service clubs to'make it their job to give the town a good "face.” Another needed railroad refonn is to have the names of stations dis played big enough and far enough back from the tracks so the traveller can tell what town he is passing through. 7 OOLS ... . .**’ save labor Not long ago I had a good deal of remodelling work done on my house. I was interested in the modern tools which the workmen used. The car penter had a portbale electric buzz- saw and an electric-motored brace for his boring bits. The painter used an electrically-driven sprayer in stead of a brush, and so on down the line. The price I had to pay them by the hour was higher than old- fashioned wages, but they got twice as much work done in a day as men with only hand fools could do in my youth. One of the greatest contributions to the world's progress is, I believe,, the invention and general use of time-saving tools. It is inly because modern tools make it possible for a worker to turn out more work with less labor that wage scales in this country are higher than in any other country. ✓X The pioneers had to develop labor- saving devices in order, to get the country settled. The curved axe helve is the earliest invention on rec ord. It enabled the pioneers to clear the land with less physical effort than the old straight helve, which most of Europe still uses. MANNERS i .* still improving I have seen many changes in the American standards of manners in my life, and on the whole I believe the standards' are higher than when I was young. Certainly they are not so artificial. I can remember when a boy or a young man whose man ners w§re habitually good was ridi culed as a “sissy”, or a “dude” by many of those with whom he came in contact Nowadays politeness is not looked upon as evidence of tim idity or assumed superiority. In an old book on etiquette, pub lished a hundred years ago, the auth or criticized the “imported’’ prohibi tion of eating with one’s knife, and said that free-born American* should do as they plased about it Lately Emily Port, the best authority on manners of this day, Miid tbut Am ericans ought not to feel bound by imported rules, such as never puttingone's elbows on the table at meals.She also ridiculed the American ideathat it is bad form to lift your foodto your mouth with your left hand.Good manners sums up simply asbehaving in a way which does notoffend anyone else. That is the longand short of it.DRESS .... changesHow revolutionary the change inthe dress of men and women has been in the past 70-odd years 1 did not quite realize until I looked the other day at some old photographs of my father and mother, the pic tures they «xchanged when they be came engaged. My mother’s picture as a girl of 16 in 1865 shows her wearing a hoopskirted dress which must have been ten yards around the skirt. My father's attire, as be- • fitted a theological student, was black broadcloth, with the coat but toned up to the neck, the trousers uncreased and obviously pulled on over a pair of knee-high boots. 1 can remember when only men of fashion had their trousers pressed in a crease, and when the style of wearing “cuffs” on the ends of the tiouser legs came in, rude boys on the street would cry “It’s raining in London" at any man daring enough to appear in public with the bottom of his trousers turned up! HOUSE and HOME - by Mary E. Dague - Author of Sister Mary’s Kitchen Use Your Silver Perhaps when you cleaned house this spring you found some silver stored away on the Jop shelves of the pantry cupboards because you hesitated to use it every day and found it hard to keep clean. So now before it has a chance to tarnish again and require another thorough cleaning I want to put in a word for it. In the first place there is noth ing like silver to give "atmosphere" to a home. Its sheer beauty adds elegance and dignity to any room it I may grace. Formal dinners, buffet suppers, afternoon teas, Sunday breakfasts all gain importance by the use of silver appointments. And here’s the secret of clean silver. Use it every day and at every meal and then it will always be ready for en- ' tertaining. Practical Articles If you are investing in new silver, pick out articles that will have more than one use. A bowl may be used ns a flour holder, a salad bowl and a fruit dish. A relish dish may be come a meat platter or a sandwich tray when the glass- pning is re moved. An asparagus dish is prac tical in season and out of season— TELEPHONE TALKS IN THE WATSON FAMILY This Family has no D istant Relatives Not that the Watson family is so small..

Sacred Heart Young People Conclude Meetings The young people of Sacred Heart Church held their last meeting of the season in the parish hall last week. The meting opened with pray er and the roll call was responded to by 30 members. The business part of the meeting was brief and final arrangements for the young people to attend a dance as guests of the Tennis Club of St. Martin’s Church,. London, were made. An invitation from the C. Y. 0. of St. Peter’s Cathedral, London, to attend a circus in their parish hall on May 25th wa- also extended to the members. A brief program included a short skit by Mary Foster, Doris O’Meara, Douglas Copeland and Joseph Mc- ,Sherry.

VEALE, PublisherPHONES:—Tribune Office, 13 • Residence, 442A.THURSDAY, MAY 26th. 1937Business Needs Only CourageTo the oft-reiterated complaint that business menare timid and unwilling to do their share towardbringing about recovery, n dramatic reply was madea week or two ago by one of the largest chain-store systems. These merchants did not content themselves with making patriotic speeches or issuing statements to the press saying they were ready to spend money. Instead of making empty gestures, they acted. They ran big display advertisements in newspapers announcing that they wanted to buy merchandise on an unprecedented scale. Five million dollars of first quality merchandise, and they wanted it that very week. Their ordinary prchases are a million dol lars a week. They were confident that through their 1600 outlets they couid sell double that amount every week, if manufacturers, wholesalers and jobbers were willing to join them in cutting profits rind giving the public real savings in their purchases. So they engaged quarters in a big New York hotel where their whole staff of buyers was ready to meet the people who had their kind of merchandis to sell. The sellers came in droves, and the mechants bought -five million dollars’ worth of goods, largely for cash. “Wejthought it was time for business to prime its own pump,” said the president of one of the largest chains of stores. "We are convinced that the public is buying again, and that business will pick up if business men only believe it and prove their belief by actipg on it.” There is something of importance in this incident. If every business concern in the Nation would go ahead in the same fashion instead of whining about business being slow, the wheels of industry would soon begin to revolve again and the economic situation woM be well on its way to solution. Guarantees of Peace The war talk which has been heard so volubly for the past year or so seems to be subsiding, but there is as yet no certainty that we have, arrived at the era of perpetual peace. That era will never arrive until the nations find a basis of agreement as to the division of the world among them in accordance with their needs. Peace can never be permanent so long as any nation feels that it is unjustly excluded from rights and privileges which others enjoy. Once a people become so nation-conscious that they not only deny to others the right to differ with them but insist upon their innate superiority over their neighbors, the seeds of war have been sown. When strong nations adopt that attitude toward the rest of the world, there is nothing the non-aggressive nations can do for self-preservation but to arm themselves and hold themselves ready for the inevitable conflict which will come as soon as the arrogant nations be lieve it can win a war. The millennium is a long way off. The perfect guarantee of perpetual peace would be the complete and sincere recognition by everyone in the world of the essential brotherhood of all mankind and the com plete equality of all human beings in the sight of God. Lacking that, the next best security of peaceful peoples is a sufficiently strong system of national de fense 4to make any other nation hesitate before doing anything to stir up trouble.

THE INGERSOLL TRIBUNE, THURSDAY, MAY 26, 1938Family ReunionsThe happy custom of holding family reunions stillfinds favor and large gatherings will no doubt attendsuch events this year. This is a pleasant way tostrengthen the family ties. It seetns to us a valuable feature might be added to these gatherings byhaving some member of the clan prepare for eachreunion a short paper dealing with some feature ofthe family history. As the older generation passes,it becomes more difficult to gather the material forsuch articles and by making them a feature of thereunions much history that would be of interest torelatives, both now and in later years, would be put on record. Some annual family reunions were held on May 24th and they now will be the order of the day until early in September. , THE D O CTO R Tells The Story by W. E. AUGHINBAUGH, M.D. ADVICE FROM "CRANKS” Unquestionably physicians and hospital executives receive more advice from "cranks” without any know ledge of medicine and surgery, than others. No sane individual questions the fact that Dr. Allan Roy Da foe, the country doctor, who brought the Dionne quintuplets into the world, knows just what to do with children, especially in a region where there are few modern conveniences. EVEN MAIDEN LADIES He told me that he had received thousands of let ters of advice regarding how to treat them—from veterinarians, chiropractors, astrologers, even maiden ladies,.and they came daily from all parts of the world. One grandmother wanted them to be fed sheepdung tea. A man from Yorkshire, England, sent a lactating sow, asking that it be trained to. lie down and permit the infants to suckle it as its litter of pigs had done. Prize cows, asses and goats, came by the dozen, each donor urging the use of their milk for the babies. Watermelon juice, horse radish, blackberry juice, knotweed extract, sasafras, and "home remedies” galore arrived. Hundreds of qpses of whiskey were shipped for use of the prodigies and thousands of letters came from temperance cranks, warning him not to administer alcohol in any form. A beauty cream concern offered to send an "expert” to daily massage the infants with its preparations. IT HAPPENED AGAIN And while the world was telling Dr. Dafoe just how to attend these fortunate babies, in the backwoods of Nov^R Scotia, with the temperature below zero, a poverty stricken mother gave birth to five boys, born like the Dionne children, two months before full term. They were a decided surprise to that faipily too—so jpuch so that the window curtains and rugs from the floor were used to cover them. Proper food was lacking. Before the father could return in his sleigh with the doetpr after a twenty mile drive, the infants froze to death. Strange to relate this woman and her babies did not get a single line write-up in the local or other papes. ‘ Such is life.

In these days, when by pressing a button here, and turning a switch there, we are able to get light, boil the kettle, mix a cake, launder the clothes, sweep a floor, sew, or the number of other things that are done by electricity now; it is difficult for uA to realize what a full-time business housekeeping was in those days, when practically everything had to be done by hand: spinning, weaving, ‘sewing in order to keep the family clothed, with constant care over the sheep that supplied the wool, for there was always the dan ger of attack by wolves, whose roaring wa* often the only sound to break the oppressive silence of the forest. Each, plot of cleared land was carefully tilled to produce the crops which alone stood between the set tler’s family and starvation. Then when the grain was harvested it had to be conveyed two bags at a time, for that was all that could be car ried on horse-back, to the nearest flour mill, which \vas situated in Hamilton. The trip over rough roads and through lonely forest could not be made in a day, so it was necessary to stop overnight at a friendly farm house on the way. Often one of the women folk had to make the journey^ as the men could not be spared from the work at home. It was dearly-bought meal that they had—bought with their own labour and courage. And yet, it was in the midst of so much care and responsibility that* the women found time for their gar dens. Seeds ijere scarce and were saved from year to year, so that the increase might be shared with oth ers. In “Shadows pn the Rock”, Willa Gather quotes from a letter written by an early settler, who in writing to a friend. in France, re marked that there were no flowers in Canada that were either very rare or .very fine; that all the seeds for her own garden had been imported. Those flrfwers must have been very precious to those who had been ac customed to the beautiful gardens of the Old World. No doubt many of them, like some of the people, found the northern climate too ha.sh and died. But the Lilac witn its delicate perfume, was fortunate in possessing a hardy constitution, so that it was easily transplanted and acclimatized. It still flourishes, and a glowing testimony to those who have gone before, whose love of beauty was not crushed by the pres sure of toil. John Carnegie, whose survey ex tended north from the rfrer to the town line, with Uniqn and Mutual streets as the western and eastern boundaries respectively, cleared the land very thoroughly, so much so, -that by 1870 it was possible when standing at the Town line, just east of Thames street, to see the huge stacks of grain by the railway tracks, awaiting shipment. In these days it is difficult to picture that, but if we imagine that we are standing farther east, on Sharp’s Hill for in stance, whertj there are stilt very few trees, we can gain an idea of what it was like, and the testimony of the old-timer who informed us, can be more readily understood. While Mr Carnegie, was so zeal ously clearing—the land, his daughter, Isabelltff who was later Mrs. Jambs Adair, was adding to the beauty of her parents! estate by planting lilac cuttings which she had brought from New York when- visit ing relatives there. The Carnegie house has gone, the orchard has gone, the popliirs, also grown from cuttings brought from New York, have gone; the pear trees, t> fruit of which Mrs. Preston, with the aid of the clothes prop, guarded from the children of the neighbor hood, have gone. But the Lilacs are still there in the field north of the C. N. R. tracks, near the C. P. R. turntable. There they stand as a reminder of the young girl who thought of her Canadian home even when she was in the midst of all the wonders of Now York City. All through the country are lilac bushes, by the roadside, in fields or in gardens. Wherever they are, if they attained any great size, we may be- sure that they were planted by pioneers, and there they stand giving colour and fragrance to the lands cape. We may pause by them in repsect to those fine spirits who plan ted them. But who would dare to dig them up or cut them down. That would be ghoulish in the extreme. • I am agent foe Bray Chicks inthis locality. Phone or callfor catalogue and price list.The Bray Chick does the trick. Jas. S. Grieve & Son, Ingersoll Robt.

Tho answer to thispertinent question is that milk usedin making such dishes as soups anddesserts, which necessitate heatingthe milk, supplies the same valuablefood essentials—proteins, calcium,fats, sugar and vitamins—as freshr iilk used as a beverage. It is a satsifaction to know that heat does not destroy the goodness i:i milk, and that heating milk in the meal is just as healthful as drinking milk with the meal.

Patterson, Don Head Farms, near Richmond Hill, has thrown) open his spacious acres for the annual Field Day of the Sheep Breeders of the province. Mr. Patterson has one of the best kept farms in Ontario stock ed with Southdown sheep that have won many prizes at leading Canadian and International exhibitions. Mr. Patterson has also one of the best Aberdeen-Angus herds in Canada. Mr. Patterson is leaving no stone unturned to make the Field Day an outstanding success. In addition to providing lunch for the visitors, he is installing several baseball dia mond^ and horshoe pitches. There will also be special races for the chil dren. The^£ie!d Day will commence at 11 a.m. standard time. Don Head Farms are located about midway between Richmond Hill and Maple, two miles west of Yonge Street Highway and about 20 miles north of Toronto. Remember, every sheep breeder with his family is invited. Controlling Cutworm* Cutworms are usually active and feeding before most crops are even in the ground. Hence it is most im portant to be prepared for their at tack at the beginning of the season. 'Bran bait has given most effective control for many years. A list of the ingredients compos ing the bran bait includes bran 20 pounds; molasses, one quart; Paris green, one-half lb.; and water (about) 2M- gallons. In making the bait, the dry ingredients should be mixed thoroughly first. The molasses is then stirred into the water and this solution added to the bran and Paris green. In mixing the bait, only enough water should be added to make the material the consistency of wet sawdust. It should not be made sloppy, but so that it will crumble in the hands and slip through the fingers easily. Land that was heavily infested last year should be treated before the plants are set -out.

Several cues of the eggs ore shown ABOVE being loaded aboarda vessel at Montreat by broadcasting the bait at the rate1 of 15-20 lbs. per acre a few nights before transplanting. One applica tion should be sufficient, but if the cutworms are very numerous, a sec ond application should be made two or three days after the first one. The bait should always be spread in the evening just before dusk, and if possible, a warm still night should be chosen for the work. If the attack is unexpected and the plants are already in the field, the bait should be applied around the base of each plant, using about half a teaspoon per plant. Should one application of the bait not kill all the cutworms, a second treatment should be made two or three nights later. Preventing Farm Fire* It is well known that in Canada every year losses due to farm fires amount to an enormous sum, yet in many cases the damage to a certain extent might have been minimized or prevented by simple precautionary measures. One precaution is not to put wet oi uncured hay in barns, nor to put dry hay in barns that have leaky roofs. It is also risky to smoke in or around these buildings. With re gard to electric equipment, it is dan gerous to use fuses . of too great amperage and no article should be used in place of a fuse. Care should be taken to see that lightning rods remain properly grounded, and de fective electrical wiring should be repaired promptly. The use of kerosene or gasoline to kindle fires or quicken a slow fire has been responsible not only for many lilts but also for many deaths on farms and just because there has never been a fire on the farm, it is dangeixfus to ‘neglect precautions under the belief that the buildings never take fire. Insurance gives an unwarranted sense of security but insurance cannot give compensation for all the financial losses and it can not replace loss of life. Extreme cure should always be taken in hand ling and using gasoline.

NEWS and INFORMATION Livestock Bedding Straw is the bedding material for livestock almost universally used on the farm in Canada. It will absorb two to three times its weight of liquid. Peat moss used as bedding will absorb about ten times its weight of liquid. Other suitable kinds of bedding for livestock are sawdust and air-dried muck and peat. Tent Caterpillar Now’ is the time to control tent caterpillars. The whitish webs con structed by the insects are only too comomnly seen on neglected fruit trees, and on roadside trees, especial ly wild cherries. The caterpillars may be readily killed by spraying infest ed trees with lead arsenate 2 pounds in 40 gallons, or by destroying tho tents by hand when the caterpillars are inside them, which is usually on cloudy days and early in the morn ing, Burning the nests with a torch is very effective, but care must bo taken not to burn the tree. It is possible to destroy these tents darly and thus save labor and loss of fruit later.

Ik shook his head as if hedid not t- ist himself to speak."There ain't no mistaking thatvoice."“Well, who was it, Sergeant?"“It was------” he began, and thenhe was sudden!, aware of mypresence in the room. "Mother o’God!” he breath 1. "I don't haveto tell you Mr. Vance. You knewthis morning.”Vance looked at the Sergeant amoment and shook his head.“Y* know,” he said, in a curiously repressed voice, "I was almost hoping 1 was wrong. I hate to think ------" He came suddenly forwardto Heath who had fallen back weak ly against the mantel and wasblindly reaching for the wall, in ancifort to hold himself upright. Vance put his arm around Heath and ledhim to a chair. "Here, Sergeant," he said in akindly tone, handing him an etchedsilver flask, “take a drink of this— and don’t be a sissy."Heath inverted the flask to hislips. Tfjen he handed it back to Vance. "That’s potent juice," hesaid, standing up and pushing Vance He returned to the car in less thanten minutes.“Everything’s all right, Sergeant,"he said aS he approached the car.“The lady has regained consciousness. Fresh air did it.”Heath had stepped out of the carand was standing on the sidewalk.“So lang, Mr. Vance," he said.“I’m getting in that taxi up ahead.I gotta get back to that damn house.I got work to do.”“Stay right here. Sergeant, andget that arm properly dressed first " He led Heath back, and accompanied him up the hospital steps.A few minutes later Vance came out alone."The noble’Sergeant is all right, Van," he said, as he took his placeat the wheel again. "He’ll be out before long.”When we reached Vance’s apartment Currie opened the door for us. There was relief written in everyline of the old butler’s face. “Good heavens, Currie I” saidVance, as he stepped inside. “I toldyou, you might tuck yourself in at eleven o’clock if you hadn’t heardfrom me.”"I’m sorry, sir,” Currie said ftt a voice which, for all its formality,had an cmotinnal tremolo in it. “I— $^6 27 0 There was a brief respite of blacksilence, so poignant as to be almostpalpable, and, then came the crash of an upset chair and the dull heavy• :nmd of a human body striking theI'oor. I was afraid to move. Heath's bored breathing made a welcomets >ic at my side. Then I heard Vance’s voice—thecyni a! nonchalant voice I knew so The ray from Heath’s pocketfl.i'h moved about the walls andc<;'i ig, but I could see neither himnor Vance. Then the light came toa halt, and Heath’s triumphant voice rang out.“Here it is. sir,—a socket besidethe window.” And as he spoke a weak, yellowed bulb dimly lit upthe room. . On tjie floor law two motionlessbodies."Pleasant evening, Sergeant."Vince -poke jn his usual steady, v. <uu.sic.ii voice. "My sincerest a>:l- cgics, and all that." Then he caught ;sight of me, and his face sobered."Are you all right, Van? he asked. 1 I assured him I had escaped the 1melee unscathed, and added that I < had not used my automatic because i4 was afraid 1 might have hit himin the dark. i“I quite understand.” he mur- tmured and. nodding his head, he ; went quickly to the two prostrate ibodies. After a momentary inspcc- i tkm, he stood up and said: <"Quite dead, Sergeant. Really, y’ ]know, 1 seem to be a fairly accurate ] shot.” !"1’11 sayl” breathed Heath with j admiration. “1 wasn’t a hell of a lot iof help, was I, Mr. Vance?" he 1 added a bit shamefacedly. ;"Really nothing for you to do,Sergeant." i The last word had been only half icompleted when there came two . shots from the rear door. The slim,crouching figure of a man. some- <what scholarly looking and well 1 dressed, had suddenly appeared 1there. i Vance had swung about simul- <taneously with his warning to |Heath, and there were two more ; shots in rapid succession, this time ifrom Vance’s gun. i ■iP'aw the poised revolver of bluesteel drop from the raised hand of i the man at the rear door; he looked >round him, dazed, and both hishands went to his abdomen. He re- < mained upright for a moment; then ihe doubled up and sank to the floorwhere he lay in an awkward crump- Iled heap. iHeath’s revolver too dropped from his grip. He staggered back- iward a few feet and slid heavily sinto a chair. "The baby winged me." Heathsaid with an effort. "My gun jam- I med.” <He had barely finished speaking i when tve heard a repeated ringing 1near us. i"By Jove, a telephone!" com- i mented Vance. “Now we’ll have to ]find the instrument." tHeath straightened up. 1"The thing's right here on the ;mantel." he said. "You’d better let me' answer it iMr. Vance.-You’re too refined.” He <picked up the receiver with his left I hand. i"What d’ you want?” be asked, i in a gruff, officious-tone. There ^vas 1a short pause. “Oh, yeah? O.-K., •go ahead.” A longer pause followed, < as Heath listened. "Don’t knownothing about it.” he shot back, in j a heavy, resentful voice. Then he !added: "You got the wrong num- ;ber.” And he slammed down the •receiver. * :“Who was it. do you know, 1 Sergeant?” Vance spoke quietly as 1he lighted a cigarette. Heath turned slowly and lookedVance. His eyes yverc narrowed, . A yellow spurt of flame stabbed from a dark corner. away from him. "Let’s get going""Riglit-o. Sergeant. We’ve only begun.” As he spoke he walkedtoward the rear door and stepped over the dead man. into the nextroom. Heath and 1 were at his heels. We were in a small box-likeroom, without windows. Opposite us. against the wall, stood a narrow army cot. Vance rushed forward and leaned over the cot. The motionless fdj-m of a woman laystretched out on it. Despite her dis heveled hair and her deathly pallor,I recognized Madclaine Renting.Strips of. adhesive tape bound herlips together, and both her armswere tied securely with pieces of heavy clothes-line no the iron rodsat either side of the cot. Vance dexterously removed thetape from her mouth, and the woman sucked in a deep breath, as if she had been partly suffocated.Vance busied himself with the cruel cords binding her wrists.When he had released thjr.m he laidhis ear against her heart for a mo ment, and poured a little of thecognac from his flask between her lips. She swallowed automaticallyand coughed. Then Vance lifted herin his arms and started from the room.I preceded him as he carried his inert burden down the dingy stairway.“We must get her to a hospital at once. Van,” he said when we hadreached the lower hallyway. The Chinaman still lay where wehad left him, on the floor againstthe wall. "Drag him up !o that pipe in thecorner, Mr. Van Dine,” the Ser geant told me in a strained voice."My arm is sorta numb."I moved the limp form of the Chinaman until his head came incontact with the pipe; and Heaih,with one hand, drew out a pair of handcuffs. Clamping one • of themanacles on the unconscious man’s right wrist, he pulled it around thepipe and with his foot manipulatedthe Chinaman’s left arm upward till he could close the second ironaround it. Then we both went out into themurky night, Heath slamming thedoor behind him. Vance, with his burden, was perhaps a hundredyards ahead of us, and we came up with him just as he reached the car.He placed Mrs. Renting on the rear seat of the tonneau and arranged thecushions under her head."I’m heading for the Doran Hos pital, just this side of Bronx Park,Sergeant," Vance said, as we sped along. In about fifteen minutes, ignoring all traffic lights and driving at a rate far exceeding the city speed'limit, we drew up in front of thehospital. Vance jumped from the car, tookMrs. Renting in his arms again, and carried hef up the wide marble steps. I couldn’t go to bed. sir. until youreturned. I'm very giad you have come home, sir.""You're a sentimental old fossil,Currie," Vance complained, handing the butler his hat."Mr. Markham is waiting in the As we entered the library, wefound Markham pacing up and down."Well, thank God!" he said And, though he attempted to sound trivial,his relief was as evident as old Cur rie’s had been.“Greetings, old dear," said Vance.".Why this unexpected pleasure of your presence at such an hour?""1 was merely interested, officially, in what you might have found onLord Street," returned Markham.”"I’m frightfully sorry, Markham,” he said, "but I fear I have made youa bit of trouble. . . . The fact*is," he added carelessly, “I killed threemen."“Are you serious?” blurted Markham."Oh. quite,” answered Vance. "Do you think you can save mefrom the dire consequences?And then he told Markham in detail everything that had happenedThat night. But- I thought he too greatly minimized his own part in <the tragic drama. When he hadfinished his recital he asked some what coyly:"Am I a doomed culprit, or were there what you would call extenuatin’ circumstances?—-I’m horribly weak-On. the intricacies of the law,don’t y’ know." *"Damn it! forget everything,” said Markham. ' "If you’re reallyworried, I'll get you a brass medalas big as Columbus Circle. The front door-bell rang, and aminute later Heath entered the libraiy.. His ordinary ruddy facewas a little pale and drawn, and his right arm was in a sling. He salutedMarkham and turned sheepishly toVance. "Your old saw-bones at the hospital told me I had to go home," he complained. “And therc’^ nothingin God's world the matter with me,”he added dsgustedly “Imagine himputtin’ this arm in a sling— Hell IIf my gun hadn’t jamtried—’*"Yes, that was a bad break. Ser geant,” noad^i M rkham.. Vance and Markham and Heath discussed the case front variousangles for perhaps a half hour longer. Markham was getting impatient.“I'm going home,” he said finally, as he rose. "We'll get this thingstraightened out in the morning.” “is there anything you want meto do, Mr. Vance?” Heath’s tone was respectful, but a little weary.Vance Igoked at him with commiseration.

Fruit raLsers often look on robins as enemies be cause of the robin’s appetite for cherries. Yet robins consume in sects harmful to fruit crops through out the year, and only during the flocking periods in June and July do they eat cultivated fruit to any extent. Wild berries, as soon as they ai’e ripe, form the greater part of their food. Woodpeckers are often suspected <>f damaging trees by their drillings. Each hole drilled means that the bird has located the larva of a destruct ive woodboring insect. Woodpeckers,, are among the most valuable forest conservationists. With their heavy bills they capture insects that other birds cannot get. When swallows’ nests are torn from the eaves of barns, some of the best friends of the farm have been turned away, Swallows, catching their food on the wing, consume vast numbers of harmful flying insects, especially during the nesting and moulting period when they, like most other birds, eat little beside animal food. Young birds inside the nest often eat more insects than their parents. Swallows should be encouraged to build on bam eaves by providing mud for nfrst mortar and a shelf to support nests. Even small entrance holes might be cut in barn gables.

They encourage co-operation and mutual under standing. They promote activities that benefit our social life. Many of these clubs are granted authority by the Liquor Control Board to serve beer to their members. To many of them, especially Veteran and Labour Clubs, this provides useful assistance in improving the accommodation in their premises and increasing the scope of their good work. The opportunity which these clubs provide for relaxation is provided also in hotel beverage rooms to those not fortunate enough to be members of a club — but to whom relaxation is as essential. The same law provides for both. E • The present law permitting Veterans’ Clubs to sell beer to their members has been of great assistance in maintaining suitable club rooms and has enabled them to expand their efforts to assist ex-service men and overcome their economic difficulties and physical handicaps. In the past the bootlegger received a large part of this revenue, which now is used in the interests of groups of patriotic citizens bound together by their service for their King and Country. Veterans’ Clubs are a great asset to any community as they stand as veritable Gibraltars of patriotism in the midst of unsettled conditions and foreign "isms.” SALFORD The SalfdS^Branch of the Wo men’s Instiute was entertained forthe May meeting at the home ofMrs. R.

T. B. Mc-Qucsten, Ontario minister of highways, the Industrial Accident Prevention Association is making a cooperative contribution in furtheringthe move to reduce motor accidentsand deaths.According to R. B. Morley, I.A.P.A. general manager, his organiza-' tion is distributing 25,000 copies of a safety booklet entitled, "Many Happy Returns - - And How To En joy Them:” These pamphlets will be distributed to employers and em ployees of more than 5,000 indus trial plants throughout Ontario. “If you want your returns to be happy," says this booklet, “be as generous as possible to other motor ists. if they annoy you, it’s prob ably because they’re tired and wor ried—or just possibly because you are.“And please don’t forget that to the crazy driver in front you may be the crazy driver behind. It isn’t your fault if all other road useis are completely daft, but it is your fault if you aren’t prepared for them to be so. “Be extra helpful to motorcyclists. They’re mostly young, and they’re much more vulnerable than you are —in fact there’s nothing much be tween them and almost anything. “And be as kind as possible to bicyclists. Many of them would give a lot to change seats with you, especially if you drive past them rather close and rather fast. "Remember, too. when you dim your lights, that the cyclist you run into isn’t the one you see—but the one you don’t. "Be extra considerate to pedes trians—thL< may include your par ents, your children, the fellow who is going to save your life some day, people who^have just fallen wonder fully in love with each other, and on occasions, yourself. . “Be especially kind to old people. They don't always act very quickly or in quite the way you expect, and they don't always hear so well or see so well—which is sufficient hard ship without trying to cope with traffic. "If the worst happens, the fact that you may be exonerated from blame won’t make you or anyone else much happier. “Please remember that children seldom behave like grown-ups. Child ren are carefree, not careless—and it’s hard that they should have to suffer just because they are child ren. “Don’t forget that when travelling at 40 miles an hour, you can hardly pull up in less than 100 feet—and a child that runs out suddenly, or from behind a post or tree, may not know these figures. “Remember, too, that it isn’t the regular road-hog that causes all the accidents; it is only too often the average person of average experi ence who takes average care, when he happens to relax his average at tention. “Although the average motorist would always risk his life (and his passengers’) to save the life of a child, it shouldn’t be necessary to do so—especially if it’s a second too late. “Always bear in mind the dangers of over-confidence. The only way to prove,that you drive well enough to avoid accidents is not to have any. “And please also remember that undue refreshments may conceivably give you greater t self-confidence— and at* the same time less cause for it. “Don’t forget that for every mbt- orist or passenger killed, several others lose their lives in highway accidents. The motorist comes off comparatively lightly, being very often only maimed for life. All the same, he’s hardly likely to enjoy the open road again. “Always realize that the car you are driving can, in a tenth of a sec ond, bring a man, woman or child to a long lifetime of suffering. Remem ber this particularly when you're in a hurry. “Consider what a total of 76G killed and 12,092 maimed in automo bile accidents in Ontario in one year means in suffering, personal tragedy and remorse—and don’t overtake anything merely to show that you can. "And please don’t think you’re asked to read the Highway Traffic Act as a personal favor to the Min- E C Z E M A fir.

Signs Official* To Insist on the Regulations Being Observed. A cleanup of illegal signs which are beginning again to "spatter’* Western Ontario highways, accord ing to officials, is again to He launch ed by the Ontario department of highways. Recent weeks bave brought to light many bills and posters, for which no license was issued, on trees and buildings, close to the roadways, contrary, it was explained, to the Highway Improvement Act. Some years ago the highways de partment put the check rein on this practice, when they went out and hauled away several truckloads of signs. The regulation distance of signs from the centre of the roadway, even when a licence is issued, is shown in the following table: / Signs less than 10 feet in length to be erected closer than 1,000 feet Horn 10 to 25 feet, to be placed 200 feet from centre of roadway, and signs 25 to 50 feet at a distance of 300 feet. The act states that signs are not to be erected closer than 1,000 feet to each other. Officials are also keeping a check on tho building of refreshment booths, service stations and garages to see that they are kept the regula tion distance from the limits of the roadway.

In all this glorious profusion, however, lurks a danger. Unfortunately, many of the citizens, particularly of the larger centres of population, never give a thought to the fact that there may all tco soon come an end to this great abundance of wild plant life through heedless destruction. The preservation of wild flowers doe not mean that no one is allowed to pick a bloom, but it does entail due regard to the future of the plant. It demands a little thought. How is a plant to survive if there are not sufficient flowers left on it to form seed, and how can a plant possibly live if it is torn up by the roots, as is too often the case. Tearing a plant up by the roots to gain a bloom is wanton destruction and means only one thing—the passing of beau tiful wild flowers from the Canadian landscape. Some species of wild flowers, such as violets, hapaticas, and others with flower stems rising directly from the roots, may be pick ed at will, so long as the plant body is not disturbed, but other wild flow- el's like the trillium, Ontario’s floral emblem, should never be gathered freely, and as a matter of fact are best left alone in their natural set ting, as the flowers cannot be picked without removing all the foliage on which depends the maturing of the bulbous root for the following sea* sons crop of flowers. Conspicuous efforts have been made by the various horticultural societies throughout Canada to arouse public sentiment towards the proper protection of the native flora, and, though much has been done, still more organized work-is neces sary on the part of all institutions in the Dominion to bring home the fact that unrestrained and destruct ive gathering of wild flowers will eventually cause the disappearance of the finest specimens of Canadian wild plants. It is a matter of pub lic education, for people do not wan tonly destroy beautiful things, far less flowers.In the United States, no fewer than 23 of the States have passed laws designed to protect wild plants. Those rules do not prevent the pick ing of wild flowers, but they do pen alize the destroyer of roots and plants. I D a n c i n g | I Little Casino I | ' WOODSTOCK ■ EVERY WED.,/ FRI. & SAT.
