flN A U G U R A L A D D R E S S— o f---! MAYOR ALEX. H. EDMONDS|FOR 1939Following is the text of the inaug-1 ural address read by Mayor Alex.I H. Edmonds, at the first meeting of
I the Municipal Council of the Town
of Ingersoll for 1939, held in the
l council chamber on Tuesday even-
1 ing, January' 3rd:—Ingersoll, January 3, 1939
To the Members of the
Town Council, for 1939Gentlemen;
In presenting to you my. second‘•Inaugural Address,” allow me to
congratulate those members of the
1938 council who have returned as
members of this body for another
year and also the new member incouncil circles, on their election at
the recent poll.
Lei me assure you that duringthis coming year you may expect
the fullest oe-operation from your
Mayor at all times. There will be
times in the course of the year’s
activities that you will not all agree
tn the propositions presented foryou to decide upon. At these times,
may 1 suggest, when you are on the
small end of a vote, that you takethe ruling of the majority as the
test method to follow and lend your
co-operation in the matter. Sugges
tions from the individual members
for the betterment of the town will
at all times be given due consider
ation.The electors' have spoken in re
gards to the appointment of a Parks
Board, this I believe is a step in the
proper direction and it is the duty
of every member to consider well
the personnel of the first parks com
mission in the Town of Ingersoll.
There are some matters that I be
lieve can be remedied during the
coming year. The sanitary arrange
ments in the town hall should be
overhauled. 1 have had several
complaints regarding the condition
of equipment in the.comfort rooms.This is an important convenience
for our farmer friends and I would ■
ask that the market committee consider early renovation in order that j
these rooms may be more inviting.
Other matters that wilt make ourtown appear more up-to-date would
be renovation in the offices at the
front of the town hall, the police
office could be moved to advantage
into the offices recently vacated by
a law firm, leaving the present policeoffice for use as an office for the
Mayor of'the Municipality. It has
lieen very inconvenient, during my
tenure of office, to find a place
< where I could meet officials and citizens on confidential matters withoutinterruption. The establishment of a
Mayor's office would alleviate this
inconvenience in future years.
In the Board of Works 1 wouldsuggest that the committee respon
sible give early consideration to the
purchase of a suitable -scarifier and
scraper so that in the spring and
through the summer our gravel roads
can receive periodical attention and
be kept in passable shape. In the
winter months the same piece of
machinery could be utilized to advantage as a snow remover from
cur paved streets. I would sug
gest too that the entire councilmake a tour of inspection early in
the year along with the Board of
Works to see just what is most re
quired.
In the matter of our Municipal
Dump, I believe it* will be necessaryto hire a man to supervise the plac
ing of garbage and other material
at the dump and keep it in such shape
that there will be no room for com
plaint by our neighbors in West Ox
ford Township.
Our Direct Relief situation in Ing
ersoll has become very acute during
the past year, and I would ask thpt/
this council put forth every effort
possible to see that any probable
industry looking for a location be
investigated and a special committeeto be known as an Industrial Com
mittee be appointed to look after the
interests of our town. Every councillor should feel a responsibility re
garding the unemployment thKt exists
and assist in every way possible in
alleviating distress.I believe that it is the duty of this
council to make every effort possible
to get a lower gas rate for the town
of Ingersoll. The source of supply is
now reasonably close to this muni
cipality and I can see no reason
why Ingersoll citizens should be
forced to pay a rate so much in ex
cess of that to be charged up to the
town line. Early in this year I wouldlike to see a continuance pf effort
in this regard, following what has
been done by our solicitor andcouncillor Murray during the past
two or three years.
In closing, allow me to wish each
member the compliments of the sear
son and ask for your co-operation
for a better Ingersoll during 1939.
Yours sincerely,
ALEX. H, EDMONDS,
Mayor of Ingersoll, 1939.

VEALEProprietor and EditorPHONES—Tribun* Office, 13 - Residence, 442AMember ofThe Canadian Weekly Newspapers’ AssociationTHURSDAY, JANUARY 5th, 1939 THE INGERSOLL TRIBUNE, THURSDAY, JAN, 5, 1939Corps Training CampsThe necessity of doing something for the unemployed young men in Canada is so urgent that careful consideration should be given to any plan that
seriously grapples with the problem.
The Canadian Corps Association proposes the es
tablishment of ten training centres across the Domin
ion in which 50,000 of these young men would be
enrolled for training in some useful work and at the
same time be placed under helpful discipline. The
Canadian Corps Association deserves credit for
formulating a definite plan and giving bold leader
ship where it has been lacking. Any undertaking
of this kind will undoubtedly cost money, but the
present system of idleness, in which at least 100,000
young men are involved, thousands of whom are
wandering over the country as transients begging their
food and lodging wherever they can find it, and some
times food and clothing, is certain to cost the country
a high price 'in deteriorated citizenship.
Unless the combined wisdom of the Federal and
Provincial Governments can devise a better scheme
they should immediately undertake to co-operate with
the Canadian Corps Association in the establishment
of these training centres. Much woujd be accom
plished if these young men did not receive anything
, more than training for the national defense services.
Canada needs the nucleus of an army of defense, and
there is no reason why these young men should not
be placed under authority and suitable discipline.
In addition, there is no reason why those of them
who desire to learn the various handicrafts should
not be* given the opportunity.
The present system of'the wastage lof y’outh has
been dragging on for several years with the result
that thousands of young men have becothe utterly
discouraged and demoralized. The problem is one for
the combined efforts ot the Federal and Provincial
Governments. If something better can be devisel
than the training centres proposed by the Canadian I
Corps Association, by all means let it be put fe.-
ward. It will be welcomed by the Canadian people
whole. In the meantime the present m.eniplby-
should be replaced by a scheme that would be
product! .*e not only of material results, but also m
the building up of character and good citizensh’p.
The failure to deal w’th this phase, of unemployment
has beer, a reproach to those in authority for several
years, and the sooner the situation is Remedied the
better it will be for all concerned.
by experts that methods were developing and wereshowing definite results in reducing the number ofaccidents in proportion to the number of vehicles onhighways.Reports showed that the fatality rate for everyhundred million vehicle miles has steadily declihedfrom 17 in 1935 to 12 for last year. That is a remarkable statement in several ways. First, it revealsthe immense proportions of American automobiletraffic. It uses as its unit 100,000,000 vehicle miles.That is more than the distance from the earth to thesun, yet it serves as the yardstick for measuring theyearly automobile trips in America.And secondly, although the total number of traffic
fatalities still is deplorable, the number in proportion
to the tremendous volume of travel is not large and
is decreasing rapidly.
Every automobile accident in which someone is
killed is a tragic event. As such it receives much
publicity. But in the prosaic life of the village and
farm many people are killed by accidents. In the
supposed complete safety of the home there are
thousands of fatal accidents. These all total largely
because there are so many people constantly about
their daily life in the homes and on the farms,

“How to Win Friends and Influence People,” has
written another treatise entitled, "Grab Your Boot
straps," in which he gives some timely rules intended
to help rid people of "imaginary” fears. In case
you are interested, here they are:
1. Analyze your fears. When you realize the
basis of your fear you will be on the way to conquer
ing it.
2. Determine what your next step will be. A
soldier who knows where his second line trench is—
is not defeated.
3. When your friends talk discouragement, talk
encouragement.
4. Determine how much of your thinking is direct
ed toward solving your problem and how .much is
going over and over the same thing.
5. Act as if you were not afraid.
6. Don’t think about your troubles at night.
7. Keep physically fit. The more discouraged
you are the more golf you should play.
.8. Remember the present recession will pass.
Others always have. If carried out, these rules are
guaranteed Carnegie to cure all ailments. z
What Is In a Car?
TODAY andTOMORROWby Frank Barker StockbridgeOPPORTUNITY . . . job*Next time you hear anybody beefing about there being no more opportunities left for the ordinary man,tell them about the experience viMorris Kirschenblatt and his threesons. It came out in a legal proceeding in New York a few weeks ago,and to me reads like a story of the
old pioneer days.
The Kirschenblatts came to the
United States from Warsaw, Poland,
last April. They brought enough
money, saved up through years, so
that they could put up a bond to
guarantee that they would not be
come public charges. Nobody told
them there' wasn’t a chance to get a
job, so in their ignorance they went
right ahead and got themselves jobs.
Morris, the father, is working as
a watchmaker for $35 a week. The
oldest son, Abraham, has a job at
$25 a week. The second son, Jerome,
has a $22 job. Henry, eighteen, is
on a job which pays $15 a week.
The youngest son, David, is only
six, so he doesn’t contribute anything
to the family income, which is now
$95 a week.
There is little likelihood of the
Kirschcnblatts becoming public
charges, it seems to me.

Bright Outlook For 1939
Almost without exception the business prophets
and economic soothsayers are predicting that 1939
will be the best year for business since 1929.
Col. Leonard P. Ayres, vice-president of the Cleve
land Trust Company, the most famous and the most
usually accurate of these forecasters, warns people
not to be too eager for a sharp upturn the day after
New Year’s, but predicts that after the usual season
al decline in the early months of the new year, busi
ness of all kinds will begin to boom.
The signs of the times are all favorable, unless
something comes out of this troubled international
situation to put the fear of a foreign war into people’s
minds. The biggest boom is already under way.
That is the building boom. The coming year, the
prophets say, will see more new homes built than any
previous year since the middle 1920’s.
Industry is hiring more help. The number of
unemployed workers has declined in the past few
months. People are buying more cars than they
were a year ago. The Christmas trade of the stores
all over the country was reported as excellent.
There is a new spirit of confidence in the air and in
the* minds of men of affairs. It is reported that new
capital is comjng out of hiding to finance great newenterprises.'^^
There s no promise in all of this that everybody
will become prosperous overnight. There is a dn-
mise in the business outlook, as the experts
another year v.’ll see.in safely past the
. v.,tf last few years have not
•pie into the habit of locking to Gov-
p that they have lost the habit of
elves.
Cold, Hard Winters
Winter ahead. Almost without except-
various prophets, ranging from those who
uieir predictions on the thickness of the cater-
mar’s fur to those who rely on science, have warned
us that this will be another one of those winters that
try’ men’s souls. The Weather Bureau, a cautious
institution, refuses to predict in detail for more than
thirty-six hours and will make no official forecast for
more than a week. Desiring to extend its service
and its value to the public, however, the bureau is
now trying to set up a basis for longer lojjks ahead.
Have we now finished a twenty’-five year cycle of
warm and dry seasons, and are we now entering
twenty-five years of cold and wet ones? Bureau
officials in the seclusion of their own homes or in
’ some other sheltered spot far from the listening
multitudes, will admit that perhaps this is true. They
‘ are looking into the matter. If the theory is sound
.and acceptable, we must prepare for a long success
ion ..of hard 'Winters. However, judging by the
kind", of weather, experienced in December, it wouldappear as^f we might, have a mild and soft winter.
But we all will be able to tell more about the" winter
six 'weeks from now.
heavy- winter clothing complained about the mild
weather in October and November, but those who
dread JJrtPfcoId have been delighted and certainly it
has bden easy on the fuel bill.

‘ • meeting of the Automotive Safety Founda-
i New York recently opinions were expressed
When you buy a modest low-priced car you are
buying these basic items:
A ton and a third of steel.
Thirty-three pounds of copper and brass.
Two pounds of tin.
Twenty-seven pounds of lead.
One-hundred and forty-four lbs. of cast pig iron.
One hundred and ten pounds of rubber.
One-tenth of a bale of cotton.
Thirteen square yards of upholstery fabric.
Two and a half gallons of spraying lacquer.
Thirty-seven pounds of paper and fibre board.
Eighteen square feet of glass.
‘In addition you get the use of lumber, grease,
electric power, chemicals and numerous other supply
materials employed in the production.
By the time it is bought some part of the purchase
price of the car has found its way to virtually .every
section! of the country and some to the far corners
of the world from which several of the rare ingred
ients nyist be collected.
To be sure, the Kirschenblatt
family brought with them the capa
city for work. The father has n
special skill which is in demand. I
do not know that he has any more
skill than the average trained watch
makers have.
I am sure of one thing, however,
and that is that the highly-skilled
craftsman in any line who is willing
to work honestly at his trade is not
to be found in the ranks of the un
employed. More than one big employ
er has told me many times during |
these recent difficult years that he
found it impossible to get enough |
i eally skilled workers.
I hear nmny persons kicking about ,
the government system, which they
hold responsible for the large number
of persons on reTief and-the general
complaint about unemployment.
There is nothing wrong with the sy
stem. There is a great deal wrong
two hundred years ago. In those
horse-and-buggy days, boys were
taught that hard work and thrift
’ were the keys to success. 1 think it is
still true.
TRAINING .... handicap
I am a bit concerned over that
youngest Kirschenblatt boy, David,
the six-yearold. He is going to
grow up as one of our citizens, under
our laws, go to our schools a.id in
every way live the life that other
boys of his age live. But I wonder
whether he will have the same oppor- |
(•tunity when he grows up that his
, father and his older brothers have
i found in America. |
| Certainly his father, presumably j
| his brothers, began their training for .| work at a much earlier age than !
1 Davy will be allowed to go to work
here. The European system still 1
apprentices boys of ten or twelve to i
I master craftsmen, so that they be-
1 gin to learn how the useful work of 1
with the widely propagandized idea
that'the way to get ahead is to take
life easy, work short hours and do
no more than enough to get by.
Morris Kirschenblatt and his sons
wei'(\ reared in a different tradition.
It used to be the tradition, first put
into words in Poor Richard's Alman
ac, written by Benjamin Franklin
not put him under any more restraint than his Christian schoolmalesare under. He will not be deniedcivil and social rights because of hisracial strain, he will be free to thinkas he pleases, speak ae he pleases,do as he pleases, so long as he doesnot break the simple rule that hemust not do anything to infringe onthe equal right of anybody else todo the same. If he doesn’t like thegovernment, he can say so as loudlyas he pleases and nobody will puthim in jail.
We take our liberty so much for
granted that we cannot realize what
it means to people who come from
a country where they have lived in
constant fear of the secret police, of
being robbed of their possessions by
the government, of being denied the
right to live and travel where and
how they please. Perhaps we need
some new blood in our country to
help bring back the old ideals of
liberty as the most precious thing
in the world, the one thing worth
dying for.
“AS A WOMAN SEES IT’
— By Arabella —
WHAT YOU WILL
the world is done while they are still
young enough to learn.
Our idea is to keep boys in school 1
until they are almost grown men, anti
then turn them loose to start earn- |
ing a living. The European-trained ,
craftsman has a head start on them.
He is it master of his trade when our i
boys are just beginning to learn it.
For the genius and the intellectual
who will do better in- the white-col- ,
lar occupations or the professions-, I
there is much to be said for our sy- 1
stem. But 1 cannot help feeling
that it handicaps a great many ■
youngsters whose capacity is for tire
sort of work which does not call so J
much for schooling as for skill in the 1
use of hands' and tools. They are .
the ones who really create wealth. 1
LIBERTY .... equality
One thing the Kirschenblatts
found here and which little David
will grow up to consider the natural
state of everybody is liberty. In the
dark and troubled countries of Cen
tral Europe where he came from,
few of the people have anything
which we would call liberty, and
none of his race have it at all.
Here David Kirschenblatt will find
that the fact that he is a Jew does

INGERSOLL
We have chosen the alternative |
title which Shakespeare gave to his
play, “Twelfth Night,” for this will
probably fit the motley collection of
thoughts expressed here.
The Eve of Twelfth Night is cele
brated in those countries where The .
Feast of the Epiphany is kept, just
as we celebrate Christmas Eve. In
fact there are still people of Scot
tish descent in Canada who have
family gatherings on Old Christmas,
as they call it. In the Province' of
Quebec it is a time of merry-making-,
and also in the West Indies, where
fireworks are Used freely to com
memorate the appearance of The
M ise Men. Epiphany comes from a
Greek word meaning “appearance.”
It must be remembered that the
Wise Men were not present in Beth
lehem at the time of the Nativity.
They were in their own country at >
that time, but seeing the star, which
had a significance to them as Zor-
casters, or fire-worshippers, they
heeded the sign and inquired . With
the result that they were led to the
"place where the Young Child lay." |
Such an experience that must have I
keen for them. One wonfers why i
the Parsec race has not been the
bearers of the Message of Salvation I
to the world. It would seem as if j
they had missed a great opportunity
for racial distinguishment.
A few weeks ago members of the I
Imperial Order, Daughters of The
Empire in this district had the priv
ilege of hearing Doctor Margaret
McKellar gave a fine address on
India and the people who are play
ing a part in the development of
that country, both spiritual and
material.
Such a talk would be surerto men
tion the Sorabji family, who arc
professing Christians of the Parsee
race, which is said to have gone to
India from Persia some hundreds of
years ago, and has preserved its
racial integrity very much as the
Jews have done in their migrations.
The influence of the Sorabjis is very
great for they are loyal to the
Crown, and because of their under
standing’ of the people of India,
their views are highly regarded.
One sister, Miss Susie Sorabji, es
tablished a school in India which is
assisted by the I.O.D.E., as a very
important piece of Empire work.
The Parsces differ from the Jews
in that while the Chief field of action
of the'•latter is commerce, the for
mer are most active in the acad
emic field. They are leaders in
education, law and medicine. So
that the title of Wise Men might
still be applied to them. And it is
hoped that with their wisdom they
might be able to give Light to their
fellow-men in India.
THE DO CTOR
Tells The Story
by W. E. AUGHINBAUGH, M.D.
SUPERSTITIONS
The two seasons which I spent in the Far North
with the Esquimaux-, studying this race and the dis
eases to which they were subject, were most inter
esting and forced me to the beliet that no matter
where one goes—in the frozen lands or in the tropics,
superstition abounds. v
The little tots of the Arctifc have few toys and
once I tried to interest some boys in playing with a
string. The women of the 4tribe promptly took the
string from the chubby fingers of my small friends.
\\ hen 1 asked why they did this, one of the old men
of the tribe explained that if boys played games
with strings on their fingers, they might later in life
have their bodies become entangled in the ^ine at
tached to their harpoons, when hunting whales, seals
or walrus, and thereby lose their lives.
Years afterwards, I experienced practically the
same thing while teaching games to naked babies of
a semi-wild tribe of the blacks. The strings this time
were jerked roughly from the hands of Xhe nude
young ones who were scolded. "'~And the man who
confiscated them took them to the fire and burned
them, after uttering dreadful curses designed to off
set the harm I might have caused the children.
The old chief told me through the interpreter that
what I had done might, later in life, result in the
deaths of these little boys, when they went to hunt
game and used either nets or lines to tie them up.
Among soipe of the semi-nomadic tribes of Northern
India and in Afghanistan, where I spent some time,
wives of men hunting for game for food are strictly
prohibited from weaving or spinning on their primi
tive looms and wheels during the absence of their
husbands because the game will be sure to turn and
twist and wind about the ravines and gullies of the
mountains, like the thread in the hands of the woman.
As a result the hunter is sure to miss the beast when
he shoots his long barreled gun at it
Ij! of til? Balkan States and in Southern
Russia, during the\se’s;°ns of the village council,women must stop spinning, otherwise the thoughts of
the lawmakers will b- twisted about in a circle, and
appropriate laws canffot be passed.
All of which forces Pno to the conclusion that the
world is not such a big place after all, because these
customs must have originally **’*£,■ wTiu" ^r*be
and been passed on to jUjin g the intervening
centuries. /* \
advanced tha'n in Canada, where since
the turn of the century the number of
units has multiplied thirty times. Its
abundance at low cost has stimulated
the remarkable growth of manufacturing
industries In Canada.
The Bank has been associated very
closely with the progress of Canadian
Manufacturers since its inception in 1875.
Our experience shows that it is the small

glad to see new ones no matter how
small the start may be.
The Old mill on the bank of the stream
was the first industry to make use of
hydro power. It was applied direct,
right where i» came off the wheel.
(This recalls that the Bank at one
time owned power rights on the Welland
Canal near Sr, Catharines and re
ceived rentals from certain small manu
facturing concerns.)
Hydro-electric development has since
harnessed the great waterways and
brought power at low cost to the cities,
towns, villages, and farms—surely one
of the outstanding achievements of
modem civilization. And nowhere is

News and InformationNEW TRADE TREATYThe new Trade Agreement between Canada and the UnitedStates, which came into operation onJan. 1st, provides many changes intariffs on commodities passing fromone country to another. Underthe new agreement Canada securesconcessions on 202 commodities, exports of which to the United States
in 1937 amounted to $327,505,000
or approximately 83 per cent of the
total Canadian sales of $394,240,000
in that year. Of the 202 items on
which concessions are made, 129 rep-
1 esent reductions in duty, 41 the
binding of the existing rate of duty,
and 32 a continuation of present
free entry.
The concessions to Canada on ani
mals and animal products are quite
important. The chief item is live
cattle weighing 700 pounds or more.
Under the 1936 agreement the duty
cn this class of cattle was reduced
from 3 to 2 cents per pound, subject
to a quota of 156,000 head. The new
agreement provides for a rate of
1’4 cents per pound and also raises
the quota to 225,000 head. The
new quota will permit considerably
larger shipments from Canada when
the price margin is favorable to ex
port, but will not be sufficient to
depress prices in the United States.
Another important concession is
calves. In 1936 the duty was lowered
from 2 '4 to 114 cents per pound on
a quota of 52,000 head. The 114
cent rate is continued and the quota
is raised to 100,000 head, with the
maximum weight limit changed
from 175 to 200 pounds per head.
Op cows specially imported for
dairying purposes the maximum
concession of 50 per cent. Was given
toz.Ganada by the United States in
tlie 1936 agreement (rate of 114
cents per pound), but only 20,009
head were to be allowed in at the
low rate. The quota limitation has
now been dropped and the 114 cent
per pound rate will apply to all
shipments. In the new treaty the
duties on live hogs and on fresh or
chilled pork have beenrreduefid by
50 per cent., and the rate on certain
cured pork (not including canned
pork and sausage), lowered from 314
to 2 cents per pound. Reciprocal
concessions on pork products were
granted the United States by Can
ada.
The duty on horses valued at not
more than $150 per head was re
duced from $30 to $20 per head in
1936, and has now’ been changed
to $15, while the rate on those
valued at more than $150 per head
has been reduced from 20 per cent,
to 1714 per cent
