Canada, 11.50 - U. 8. A., »2.oo INGERSOLL TO HAVE NEW SERVICE CLUB L C. L DEBATE Organization Will Be Associa­ ted With The International Association of Lions Clubs. At a supper meeting in the Ing­ ersoll Inn last Wednesday night, December 14th, interested local citizens considered and acted favor­ ably upon the suggestion of the Woodstock Lions Club, to promote and organize a group of Ingersoll business and professional men as a club, associating with the thousands of other Lions Clubs comprising the world-wide Association. A. D. Murison is to be the first President; Vice-Presidents are Paul Bowman and William Street; Rich- ** ard C. Cooper is the Secretary, and the following are Directors, Fred C. Moore, Mayor Alex. H. Edmonds and Dr. John M. Partlo. C. S. Wickware was appointed chairman of a com­ mittee to arrange for the charter night banquet. Other officers and directors will be eleoted at a meet­ ing early in January. Official Charter Night will follow during the latter part of January when some 130 to 200 Lions Club members from Woodstock, London, St. Thomas, Seaforth, Exeter, Mitchell, Strat­ ford, Kitchener, Waterloo, Galt, Tillsonburg, Simcoe, , Norwich and ether Ontario Clubs, will gather here to welcome and start the new Ingersoll club on its way. The meeting was presided over by Harold Shantz, president of the Woodstock Club, and Vice-Presi­ dent Bob. Sinclair and other Woodstock members, addressed the gathering briefly. In conversation with Lion Bruct Malcolm, a Special Representative of Lions International, The Tribune learned Lions Clubs are non-political, non-sectarian civic organizations composed of representative business and professional men, of unselfish mien, sincerely interested in the de­ velopment of their cqmmunity and making it a better place in which to live. The purpose of a Lions Club is more than good fellowship and club social life, important as these are. Its purpose is to recognize commun­ ity needh, to discover the means of meeting these needs, and either by independeut effort or through co­ operation with other agencies, effect a remedy. In pursuance of this purpose the 3000 Lions Clubs in the Association successfully completed a total of 28,000 community activities during the past year. Lionism is an active and efficient vehicle for united civic effort and enterprise, a helpmate to every worthy commun­ ity endeavor, its objects are: 1. To create and foster a spirit of “generous consideration” among the peoples of the world through a study of the problems of interna­ tional relationships from the stand­ point of business and professional ethics, 2. To promote the theory . and practice qf^the principles of good governniHrt and good citizenship. 3. To take an active interest in the civic, commercial, social and moral welfare of the community. 4. To unite the members in the bonds of friendship, goodfellowship and mutual understanding. 5. To provide a forum for the. full and free discussion of all mat­ ters of public ihterest, partisan poli­ tics and sectarian religion alone ex- w i. cepted. ■1-. 6. To encourdge efficiency and promote high ethical standards in business and professions. The activities of Lions Clubs covers a wide field. A summary ci* the work of member clubs in District A. (Ontario and Quebec), shows they have engaged very actively in varied forms of service work, such aS assisting to equip hospitals, spon­ soring and building of rinks, build­ ing of swimming pools and engaging^ of instructors to teach the young generation the art of swimming, the building and qutfitting of play­ grounds, ball diamonds, community parks, etc. Active sponsorship of all kinds of juvenile activities, hock- * ey, baseball, boy scouts, girl guides, social service work of all kinds, sight, conversation, and dental and medical assistance to the less for- tunatb^rS’upplying of milk • and cod­ liver oil to undernourished children. • Work with crippled children. Educa­ tional and safety promotion. Proino- The meeting of the I. C I. Debat­ ing Club was held Friday afternoon in the school with a good attendance of members and fellow students. Jessie Graham, the new president, thanked, in a very charming manner, the club for entrusting her with the honor of presidency. The meeting was then handed over to the former president, Ruby Scott. The minutes of the last meeting were read and adapted. The main feature was a very interesting de­ bate, “Resolved that Western Can­ ada offers greater opportunities for a young man than Eastern Canada." The affirmative was upheld by Jes­ sie Graham and Grace Fairbanks, the negative by Dolly Stephenson and June Riley. The leader of the affirmative, Jessie Graham, pointed out the ad­ vantages of Western Canada. She mentioned business friends nearby who had previously lived in the West who were still yearning to re­ turn. She likened the character­ istic of the people to gold found in the rocks. Western Canada, ac­ cording to Miss Graham shows youth how small troubles are, and makes them strike higher. Fitting youth for many occupations the West offers good educational ad­ vantages. Dolly Stephenson, the leader of the negative, pointed out how the West was reliant on the East for many school supplies which are sent with bales to our friends yearly. Having referred ' to very reliable books, the speaker convinced her audience that Eastern Canada leads in future for youth, increasement of asbestos industry, lumbering and water power. In. conclusion, she asked, “If the West is ahead of the East, why do more people not go there?” The second affirmative speaker, Grace Fairbanks, described many advantages, such as the radium in­ dustry, new mineral wealth in Sas­ katchewan, the excellent farming land of the Peace River district, the vast lumbering districts throughout British Columbia, and the fine fel­ lowship of the Western farmers. June Riley, last speaker of the negative, told that in the West they do not have conveniences such as we have and that Eastern Canada leads in fishing, growing of grapes, tcbacco, and the producing of maple syrup, cheese and butter. The popu­ lation is said to be steadily de­ creasing so why should anyone go there to find opportunities?” While the judges ^ere coming to a decision, Mr. Wilson and Mr. Brogden offered a few* very helpful suggestions for future debaters. The judges, Isabelle Murray, Keith Maybee, and John Funnell, agreed that the decision be in favor of the negative side. Keen Interest In Rural Hockey League Increased interest is being eviden­ ced in the local rural hockey situa­ tion and both players and fans are anxious for the season to open. With ten teams comprising the South Ox­ ford Hockey League it is expected that there will be an improvement in the brand of hockey in the two groups. Crumlin, a new team admitted to the class "A" section, is believed to be of considerable strength and a keen race is predicted in this group. Rural hockey throughout this dis­ trict has made rapid strides and .those in close touch with the league are viry optimistic for a most suc­ cessful season.

However, since the loss was made known and reported, it is expected the thief has been caught. When Detatftive-Sergt McCullough and Detective Knight arrested a London man, on two other charges of theft, they noticed the unusual quantity of honey at the house. They notified the provincial officers and a new charge against the accused now results. Civic Officials Guests of Mayor Edmonds Mayor Alex. H.

VEALEProprietor and EditorPHONESTribune Office, 13 - Residence, U2A Member of The Canadian Weakly Newspapers’ Association THURSDAY, DECEMBER 22nd, 1938 An Old Fashioned Christmas Good sleighing for Christmas used to be a condi­ tion devoutly desired as good for business and good for the farmer. Good sleighing meant easy access to the wood lots and good roads to market. The long lines of wood sleighs which wound their way to town slowly in the mornings and hastened back to the farm at night, linger long in the memory of those whose youthful days left memories of winters with plenty of snow, wood sleighs and pitch holes in the roads, with detours through the fields for better sledding, straw rides at night with everything spark­ ling with frost, the sky full of stars and the man in the moon full of smiles and beaming good cheer. Then memory' also dwells fondly over snowshoe epi­ sodes, toboganning and bob sleighing, while skating meant mostly the whole of outdoors where there was a river, creek or lake nearby. Nowadays when horses and sleighs have been retired and paved roads hum with automobile traffic only the old-timers long for an old-fashioned winter with plenty of snow and bright sunshine—and good sleighing for Christmas. Toyland Once a year the children of our homes set out in search of a new country which can be called Toyland. They stand open-mouthed before store windows and drink in the picture furnished by dolls and toy auto­ mobiles and tire engines and children’s sets of tools. They flatten their little noses against the plate glass windows, and long for admission into such a kid heaven, where all these things might be theirs. It does not necessarily follow that a child must have many costly toys. Sometimes the children that have the most, are the most unhappy. If a child has too much, he is likely to trifle with each tool or toy and never learn well the use of any of them. These children are the ones who seem to take de­ light in smashing the treasures of toyland, and redu­ cing them to kindlingwood. The thing that seems to give a child the most pleasure is to feel that he is older than he is, and is doing something that older people do. Children like to play they are grown up. They imagine themselves big men and big women, and glory in this fancied maturity. Parents have the rare privilege of leading children into the delights and fascinations of Toyland. To see a child’s mind grow under this stimulus, is like watching some beautiful plant develop its leaves, buds and flowers. ------o------ Lengthening Days Yesterday, Wednesday, Dec. 21st, was the shortest day^if the year, and the sun has travelled to the end of its farthest journey. The following day it began its northward trip and the days are gradually lengthening. This is good news for all humankind in the Northern Hemisphere. It means that, though Winter does his worst, his tenure will soon be defirt* itely on the decline. In a few' days or weeks it will be noticeable that daylight lingers on a little longer in the afternoon and that darkness leaves a little earlier in the morn­ ing. It is good that this is so. Of course, there are some places in the world that will be able to find no reason for rejoicing over lengthening days. In those nations led by glory- mad dictators lengthening days mean more daylight in which to be shot in some invaded nation or if nearer home by the tools of some dictator who rules all. tific resources in the world be mobilised for an or­ganised study on a vaster scale than was everattempted before. Would it pay? The mystery fascinates and to know the answer would be interesting,but what could puny man do about it if he could foretell to the minute when it would rain and when the jun would shine? All he could do would be to order his own life and that is too well ordered already. Bridge Table Emotion* This is the season for bridge and according to no less an authority than Ely Culbertson, anyone who plays contract bridge of expert quality has to be “slightly insane." Rarely are our top flight bridge performers averse to anything in the way of publicity and it may be that this is another of Ely’s bids for notice.If it is, it has succeeded. In any event, there comes in rebuttal the opinion of an English scientist—James Hopwood Jeans—that bridge is better- than a course of formal lectures for improving the mind. It teaches a person, he says, to “make rapid decisions, plan a course of action, and to estimate odds, besides in­ culcating habits of courtesy and tact." This is an interesting difference in points of view, and especially interesting is the notion that bridge fosters a graciousneas in its devotees. The tourna­ ments of the game’s stars are not famous for the urbanity of the players, but for tantrums and exhi­ bitions of ham temperament. Mr. Culbertson has given signs before now that he is aware of this defect in his peers, and it may be that his new confession is only a way of saying, “Don’t mind us, folks, we’re just a lot of nuts." If Theorist Jeans ever has occasion to meet Ely across the table of cards, he will of course, keep this in mind. Protect The Public Some time ago in these columns, it Was suggested that the Ontario Government should make a complete survey of persons now holding drivers’ licenses, to be certain that the people driving cars up and down our highways, are fit and proper persons to be in charge of high-powered machines. At present, when the renewal of drivers’ licenses is requested, the word of the applicant is taken as final. Many of these drivers who were perfectly fit when their first license was issued, may have developed physical defects in the meantime which should bar them from the privilege of driving cars. The unfit should be weeded out.— (Chatham News.) Leadership The following appeared in a recent issue of the Rotarian Magazine, under the heading, "Leadership Wanted": If there is one commodity in which the world is short today, it is enlightened leadership. The need is written in every new day's headlines. As men and citizens we should be looking ahead to pre­ paring enlightened leadership for tomorrow. And from whence will it come if not from the ranks of healthy, normal boys, the sons of good parents, the products of the hard-won advantages of our 'civiliz­ ation? Here is an idea that comes from Detroit, Mich., and on the face of it it looks sensible. If an electric light bulb burns out in Detroit, it is taken to the utilities office and it is replaced free of charge. The point is that bulbs may be purchased for very little money if taken in large quantities, and the more bulbs lighted up the more electricity will be used. We are not sure that such a plan would work put in * Ingersoll, but there is no harm in telling how it is done in Detroit, Mich. w a v »*e ’*° To ,5O°LOANS wi,hoM’“W *"*’** endorsersRum .uthoriMd by Special Acto( th.

A cold,in the head is generally thought of as more of jrWftsance than anything else. It certainly is a nuisance because it makes the sufferer a fairly un­ comfortable individual. Colds are something more than a nuisance, however, they are serious for certain reasons. In the first place, they arc the greatest single cause of absence from work and school, and consequently they cost more, in lost time and lost wages than any other single illness. Secondly, what appears to be an ordinary cold may be the beginning of some serious illness, such as pneumonia. Because you have often had colds which were merely a nuisance, you cannot count on escaping serious results in the future. It is a good idea to do everything possible to escape colds altogether. While there is yet much to be learned about colds, and extensive research is being carried out in an attempt to unravel the mysteries which surround this common complaint, there are some simple things which we may do to protect ourselves. Keep in good health. Eat the right kinds of foods and sleep with, the bedroom window open (eight hours of sleep for adults—longer for children). Avoid people who have colds, because colds are spread from one person to another. Wash the hands thoroughly before eating, because the hands become soiled and are very likely to have disease germs on them. Keep the body clean by regular bathing, us­ ing cold or coo) water, follow'ed by a rub with a rough towel. Keep the feet dry—if they get wet, change to dry shoes and ^stockings, first giving the feet a good rub with a rough towel. Dress according to the thermometer, not the season of the year, ns too much clothing (especially indoors) causes per­ spiration and should therefore be avoided. person ■who suffers from repeated colds should have his nose and’throat examined by "a doctor. The germs may lodge in diseased tonsils or adenoids and cause repeated colds—this can only be prevented by correcting the diseased condition of the nose and Did you do your Christmas shopping early? If you didn't it is a pretty sure bet that you mad« a resolu­ tion not to be caught napping again next year. After all thb principal reason for the celebration of Christmas is to demonstrate a feeling of good will towards men. A practical demonstration is consid­ eration for postmen, deliverymen and the workers in stores who have to spend long hours on their feet to accommodate their customers. By shopping early much of the late hour evil can be avoided. By mailing early Christmas can be made more like Christmas for the mail man. And it all depends — on us. / CHRISTMAS Would that all reminders of the passing of time were as pleasant ones as Christmas. This happy season when there are more smiles in evi­ dence than any other; when old friendships are renewed and new ones formed; when everyone has an opportunity of helping others and may enjoy the feeling of being of. some use. It seems that the depth of poverty must be reached by the person who feels of no use to anyone. Just a few short weeks ago it looked as if this would be anything but a Merry Christmas, when the war clouds were so close. But their dispersal has brought fresh cour­ age. Now there are smiles again, and all are looking forward to a happy time. If there is anyone who does not know what to do with himself on Christmas Day may we suggest a visit to a hospital. It will give pleas­ ure to all, for there the spirit of the day is at its best. Those who are suffering try to forget their pain and share the joys of others. Nurses’ lives are busy, but they make time for an extra effort at Christmas, so that thete may be as much of the home atmosphere, and as little of the institutional as pos­ sible. Everything is polished up to make a shining background for the decorations which turn the halls of suffering into Fairyland, with Christ- nias*’trees for all—large ones for the wards and small ones for the single rooms. _They often provide the first Christmas tree that a patient has ever had. The Day of Gladness is ushered in with carol-singing, in which all take part. And no one can fail to be impressed as these angels of mercy, in their spotless uniforms, march through the building, in and out of wards, up and down corridors, sing­ ing the message of healing which they practice -every day, serving with their voices as well as their hands. Even meals on a tray take on a new interest, for ingenuity has been working for weeks to have some little novelty for each of the three meals, pretty doilies and serviettes, garnishes and treats, something to make even the strictest diet pleasant. Much of the restraint and discipline are relaxed to give a change ac­ ceptable to all. Visitors are likely to find that al­ though they go to extend cheer, they will receive it in large measure. For there is no more cheerful at­ mosphere than that created by people who forget themselves in pro­ viding pleasure for others. OTHER CHRISTMASES AT NORSWORTHY CHAPTERSUPPER BRIDGEThe December meeting of the Norsworthy Chapter, I.O.D.E., was held in St., James* Parish Hall and took the form of a jolly supper and bridge. A very delicious supper was piovided by members of the Even­ ing Guild of St. James’ Church and was enjoyed by everyone. Mrs. L. A. Westcott, the regent, welcomed the members and their guests, many of whom were former members. Mrs. C. K. Hoag expressed the thanks of the gathering to the ladies of the Guild. After the supper several items of business were dealt with in­ cluding the arrangements for the packing of Christmas boxes for a group of ex-service men at Westmin­ ster Hospital, London. Cash dona­ tions were voted to the Welcome and Missionary Circles of the King's Daughters, to assist them in their Christmas Cheer work. The mem­ bers also contributed a very gen­ erous shower of canned fruit to be used for the same purpose. After the meeting bridge was en­ joyed and very attractive prizes were awarded to Mrs. Heath Stone, Mrs. A. Jewett and Mrs. Elizabeth Duff.

Free Delivery PHONE 64 NO NOISE IS GOOD N EW S For several years I was the physician in one of the large leper hospitals and obviously came in contact with all types and classes of these unfortunates—un­ fortunates in every sense of the word—for they have been considered unfit for association with their fel­ low beings since the days of primitive men. They were loathed and feared by-'everyone, every­ where. In the more advanced countries leprosy is a disease that is being eliminated, but in the remote places of the world and especially among wild tribes it has increased enormously in recent years, espec­ ially in the British colonies. China and India have undoubtedly the largest leper populations in the world and among the smaller Asia? tic nations and the wild tribes of Africa there are many victims of this terrible affliction. J Hive often been asked if leprous parents have leprous children. During my several years with these-people I have attended perhaps about three hundred labor cases, and have never seen a child born a leper, whose parents were lepers. I have known of cases wherein the offspring later developed leprosy in adult life, and also some when they were relatively small children. Indeed in the hospital where I was the attending physician, we had a relatively large children’s ward 'and I have seen similar wards for these youngsters in Dutch Guiana. One man and wife were typical cases. Their sons married women unaware of the family history of their husbands. One of these young men has three children and the other five and they are healthy, normal youngsters. I visit them frequently, as a matter of scientific interest, and also because I like them and so far have failed to note any clinical signs of leprosy on any of them. Indeed, in many leper hospitals, people are per­ mitted to marry, in order that they may lead lives as nearly normal as possible.- I may say that those in charge of these hospitals do not encourage leper marriages, but as a matter of fact can do little to prevent them, because the popular feeling is that na­ ture has handicapped lepers sufficiently -and there is no need of adding to their woes. Lack of normal associations often leads to administrative, social and moral difficulties, child dren came to such couples I had them much as possible from their parents, because possibility that contact might infect the offspring. THE HOSPITAL In the days before it was the Alexandra Hospital, as the home of Dr. and Mrs.. McKay, it was the scene of many jolly Christmas par­ ties. A more ideal house for child­ ren ,could not be found; there was no danger of bumping into furni­ ture, or upsetting things, for there was room for all in the big ball­ room. Several -groups qould be en­ tertained at a time; some dancing, some gathering Nuts-and-May, others at musical chairs, while some boy was sure to discover the Relight of sliding down the bannisters of the long stairs—there was usually a waiting-line for that. All given up to that happy abandon with which children respond to plenty of space. Then a hush! Excitement too keen for sound. The double doors at the end of the room were opened. A beautiful .Christmas tree reaching to the ceiling, loaded with gifts! Such excitement, and clapping of hands! Looking on was the genial Doctor •who loved to see children happy. A great ringing and jingling of. bells sounded the approach of Santa Claus, who distributed the gifts. Once he was unable to come, so- he sent a beautiful creature in white and silver to act for him. She 'is called Mrs. Adair, but to us she is still the Christmas Fairy, who helped to make beautiful parties for the children who were fortunate to at­ tend them. * WE PAY YOU NEW Merchandise BACKACHE .

Michigan.Harriet Campbell Brondige, wife of John E. Brondige, Judge of the Municipal Court of the City of Royal Oak, Mich., succumbed to a heart attack at her home, there, 609 Plea­ sant Street, Friday morning, Dec. 9, 1938. About ten weeks previous she suffered a heart attack, collapsed and fell to the floor. Fortunately she was near enough to the phone to eventually call her husband. After two weeks at home, she spent four weeks in the Ford Hospital, De­ troit, and four weeks at her home again, at first slightly improved, but death ensuing Anally from throm­ bosis, after specialists had exhausted every effort to help her condition. Deceased was born in Ingersoll, Ont., daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. Homer Campbell, Sr. Later she went to Pontiac, Mich., to reside with an aunt, and there married Mr. Brondige on Sept. 25th, 1900, a short time after he had passed his bur examination., Hi practiced law there and then for a time at Long Beach, California. When they re­ turned to Michigan in 1918, he set­ tled in Royal Oak, a suburb of De­ troit, and has been Municipal Judge there ever since its incorpor­ ation. Mrs. Brondige was an active member of the First Presbyterian Church, was chairman of the Flower Committee, and served on the Wo­ men’s Auxiliary. She was also very active in Group 1 Woman’s Club, one unit of a federation doing charitable, social and educational work, being responsible for the city library and other civic and commun­ ity activities. The funeral took place on Monday afternoon, December 12th. Service in the church was conducted by her pastor, Rev. Robert S. Steen, and two favorite selections were played most impressively by the organist, “Lead Kindly Light," and “Sweet Mystery of Life.” The altar and full width of the chancel end of the church was banked with a profus­ ion of most beautiful floral offerings, testifying to the warm place deceased occupied in the hearts of her friends, who appreciated at ^heir true worth her attractive personality and many sterling qualities of citizenship. In­ terment was made in Pejry Mount Cemetery, Pontiac. Besides her husband she leaves two sisters, and a brother, Mrs. Mil­ dred Blair of Long Beach, Cal.; Mrs. S. A. Gibson of Ingersoll, Ont., and Thomas Campbell of Royal Oak. Among relatives attending the funeral from a distance were: Mrs. Mildred Blair, Long Beach, Cal.; Miss Vera Campbell, Oklahoma City; Mr. and Mrs. S. A. Gibson, Ingersoll; Mr. and Mrs. W. A.

T. B. McQuesten Says Public Determination BestPreventive — Extra Care Needed. Toronto, Dec. 20—Hon. T. B. Mc­ Questen, Ontario Minister of high­ ways, today made a strong plea on behalf of motorists and pedestrians for a “Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.’’ Strong efforts, he said would be made by his department to keep the highways of the province as free from accidents during the holiday season as'is humanly possible. He pointed out that open and safe roads play an important func­ tion during the Yuletide season in allowing members of families to go back home for Christmas and in enabling friends to visit eachother in town and country. During this season, extra heavy demands are put on streets and highways by com­ mercial users. “Roads can never be made safe," declared Mr. McQuesten, "by means entirely of traffic signs, police sup­ ervision, legislative action or im­ proved highway engineering There is only one factor which can ensure absolute highway safety—and that is the determination of the peoplewho use the highways.

But that magic touch­ stone is within reach. It is ‘public determination.’ That is the one thing which will make our signs and laws and patrol officers effective. . If all who use the highways are deter­ mined there shall ibe no accidents, then there won’t be any. But we must not confuse determination with just ‘wishing’ or ‘hoping.”’ Many drivers, the highways’ min- istcr/^aid, are inclined to relax their careful driving habits during the Christmas holidays—the one time in the year wljen the strength of such habits should be increased. Winter weather and heavy traffic 'conditions make driving at this time a difficult job he stated, and call for extra vigilance. Mr. McQuesten praised the work being done throughout Ontario by municipalities at this season in the prevention of traffic fatalities and accidents, and believed that many holiday accidents could be avoided by adherence to the rule: “If you drink, don’t drive; if you drive, don’t drink.” Christmas and December Christmas is not nearly as old as the month in which it falls. Decem­ ber was the last month in that old ten-month calendar of ancient Rome. The name comes from the Latin word, ‘decern” meaning “ten.” In the beginning the month was known as Decembris, tut during the many centuries that followed the name changed so that it now come* to us in its present form. The old Saxons, recognizing December a* the beginning of winter, called it' Winter-Monath (winter month). They also called it Heligh-Monath (holy radnth) because of the fact that Christmas fell on one of its days.—Pathfinder Magazine. Your husband Is in buafaew forhimself, isn’t he^ Well, no.
