A., $2.00SKATING MEET FORSTUDENTS SATURDAYEvents Will Be Held UnderSupervision of Community“Y.”The Community “Y” is conducting a free skating meet for all school boys and girls of the district on Sat­ urday morning at Thayer's Arena. Arrangements have been completed for taking over the ice from 9.30 a.m. until noon, and every public, scpar- ' ate and high school student will be given a chance to show his or her wares. Due to recent excellent skating weather, youthful speed artists are in better form than usual, and there should be a large entry in every age classification. Boys and girls will compete separately in every age group from 5 years up, and parents are invited to come along to see their hopefuls perform. This—the first speed meet at least in recent years—should interest evjery boy and girl who can pos­ sibly arrange the Saturday morning work so as to be on hand. The meet is for every student, not just the “stars,” as experience in other places has always shown that “dark horses” appear in every race with “sure win­ ners” often disqualified or falling by the way-side. The only admission ticket needed Qis the age certification to be secured Friday from the teacher in the stu­ dent's own room in school. A small admission change will be made for parents or other spectators. Races will be run off in order of age, with primary students compet­ ing first and high school boys and girls last. Ribbons will be awarded 1st, 2nd and 3rd placers in each class. The gate will be open at 9.30 and the meet will start as soon as the yioungest class is ready. A special hockey game is to be arranged between two public school teams to climax the meet. Students from rural schools in the district are particularly invited to compete. The slogan for Saturday is— "Everybody" on the ice,” for his or her race. Full information at the "Y” office, Telephone 131C.

DEFEATS KITCHENER Friday' evening, the Collegiate team played their second home game when they defeated St. Jeromes of Kitchener, 8-3. Douglas was the leading scorer for Ingersoll, getting five goals, while Fuhram got the vis­ itor’s three. The game was fast from start to finish, with both teams giv­ ing all they had. The standing to date is as follows: P. W. L. T. Pte.

This campaign which opens tc morrow night, is the ■ fifth annus appeal for funds to carry on “Y work in this community and it is per haps significant that each appeal ha been more successful than the on proceeding. Ever since the wor started it has annually been brand ing out into new fields, a feature o last year’s activities being the play ground program conducted in th municipal parks in co-operation wit! the local Kiwanis Club and with th hearty approval of the Parks Com mittee and the Town Council.

Oabpaw at tW'Khrairi* Carnival, W«ln.i<bj, February 8th. The death of William J. Clark occurred Sunday morning, January 29th, following an illness of five weeks’ duration. The news of his passing was received with profound regret by scores of friends, many of whom were not aware of his ill­ ness. Born in Ingersoll, deceased was very widely known by reasons of his business contacts over a long term of years and his connection with amateur sports, especially hock­ ey and baseball. In his early days he had been associated with local football teams, and for many years he had been very actively identified with hockey and baseball clubs. He was an ardent supporter of amateur sports and had done much to en­ courage interest in their develop­ ment here. He had spent the greater part of his life in Ingersoll and by his gen­ ial disposition had won many friends. He took up telegraphy in the C. P. R. office here under George Sutherland, and he had been connected with the office for a long period. Deceased had allo been on the office staff of the Ing­ ersoll Packing Company and was latterly employed at the St. Charles Hotel. He was a member of St. James’ Anglican Church and of King Hiram Lodge, No. 37, A.F. & A.M. The funeral was held from his late residence, St. Andrew’s street, on Tuesday afternoon, and was largely attended. There were many beautiful floral tributes in evidence. The ser­ vice was conducted at 1.30 o’clock by Rev. H. E. Merifield of St. James' Anglican Church and temporary en­ tombment took place in the Ingersoll Mausoleum. The pall bearers were W. E. Cragg, Gordon Chambers, Gus Morello, Ed. . Deamude, John Smith and Samuel H. Gibson. The first aid ,team of the Cadet Corps of the Ingersoll Collegiate Institute were given a thorough ex­ amination last week in competition with other schools of the district. Major Towers of M. D. No. one, London, conducted the examination. The members of the senior teams are William Wade, David Prosser, Carl Eidt, William Nicholson and Clare Cole and of the junior team, Russell McDiarmid, WiRiam Th&rn- ton, Ronald Bigham, Jock Shecterj and Keith Mabee. J. C. Herbert, the cadet instructor, was assisted in pre­ paring the members for their work by Dr. C. A. Osborn. Hospital Auxiliary Plan For Bridge The January meeting of the Wom­ en’s Auxiliary to the Alexandra Hos­ pital Trust, postponed from Monday to Tuesday afternoon, was held at the Ingersoll Community “Y.” The attendance was fair considering the inclement weather and drifted snowy walks. President Mrs. Ruby Elford, was in charge of the meeting. Regu­ lar routine business occupied the attention of the members and plans were made during the afternoon for a bridge to be held during Easter •week. - Tarzan The Terrific Fails To Move Auto and Loses Clothes G. Winners At Legion /" Auxiliary Euchre Members of the Ladies’ Auxiliary of the Ingersoll Branch of the Can­ adian Legion, sponsored a successful euchre in the I.O.O.F. hall, last week. There were nine tables in play. The prize winners were: Ladies’ high score, Mrs. J. Houghton; Ione hand, Mrs. Chute; consolation, Mrs. A. Nunn; door prize, Mrs. R. Richard­ son; men’s high score, W. Markham; lone hand, Mrs. S. Douglas, (playing as man); consolation, Burns McKay; door prize, R, Brookfield. Forced into the ditch by a passing motorist at 2 o’clock in the morning, "Tarzan the Terrific,” the man who pulls cars with his teeth and swims in the icy river, failed to get his own car back on the highway without assistance and as a result of this now finds himself without his extra clothing and of all things—his bath­ ing suit The car left the road on a curve a few miles west of Woodstock and stuck in a snowbank which covered the top of the tires. When Tarzan left his'car to seek aid he neglected to lock the doors and someone who saw the stranded car took a club bag which contained his belongings. A partj’ of Londoners, returning from Toronto, arrived on the scene and helped the swimmer and another man lift the car out of the ditch. H O C K E Y PARIS H. S. INGERSOLL C. I.

R. VEALEProprietor and EditorPHONES:—Tribune Office, 13 - Residence, 442AMember ofThe Canadian Weekly Newspapers’ AssociationTHURSDAY, FEBRUARY 2nd, 1939Learning From ExperienceWe cannot correct the mistakes of the past, but we can live the balance of our lives so as to profit, not only by our own mistakes and experiences, but by the mistakes and experiences of others. An im­ portant thing: to remember is that experience is prob­ ably the greatest teacher in the world. We are all travelling the highway called life, gain­ ing experience daily, but how many of us know where we are going or have a definite and desirable object­ ive as our goal. The objective of every sane person is happiness, and many of us think that happiness can be obtained by the accumulation of material wealth, yet if we take the trouble to learn from the experience of others we can discover that wealth or riches alone are as empty as a wall of a vacuum bottle. Yes, we are all on our way gaining experience, but for many of us it is only a material way. Why don’t we learn from the experience of others that the only sure road to happiness is to serve others? Someone might say, “How can I serve others without money?” and the answer is that we all have time to spend, and to give freely of our time helping others is infinitely better than to give money; of course, it is better still to give both if we can. No matter how small our station in life may be, there are many organizations in our community whose object is to help others and who could use some Of our spare time. )Ve may say, “What for ex ample?” And here are some of them:— Red Cross Society, Home and School Clubs, Humane Society, Boys’ Clubs, Sendee Clubs Crippled Children Society, Church, Blind Association, Accident Prevention, (Industrial, Home, Traffic.) We should all make ourselves useful citizens in the community in which we live. The world will accord fame only to a few, but it is well to remember that these few have to climb a high mountain in ofltr to be seen and heard, and at the summit of the mountain (shall we call it FAME?) there is eternal snow and the cold wind blows in all directions. We should thank God that we have men in this country who are willing to expose themselves in order to serve their country in the larger sphere. There is, however, a job for each one of us, be it ever so humble. For some it js on the high way and for others on the low way. That job is not hard to find, and contains a treasure of happiness if we are willing to dig for it.—By P. J. Wood. covers of grass, skins from wiki animals and clothfor protection against the elements.Some authorities say that the American Esquimauxwere the real inventors of shoes, for they never woresandals, but always did use moccasins, or soft akinshoes made from the pelt of the deer or the fur ofthe seal. Various stories of the lives of these primi­tive men, drawn upon stone, before the advent ofthe shoe in either Egypt or Europe, show this. Thecrusaders, who roamed all over Europe and into theHoly Lands spread the demand for shoes, becausetheir feet were encased in leather coverings to pro­tect them from rough trails over which they wander­ ed in their pilgrimages. Ultimately all persons wore shoes and when the first colonists landed at Plymouth, shoemaking was intro­ duced into the New World, about 1629. * In 1785 modern shoe-lasts made their appearance and the era. of torture from corns began, for the simple reason that fashion decreed that all shoes must fit the foot tightly. Any pressure exerted upon the foot increases the blood supply, with the resuilt that the activity of the skin tissue, results in a thickening, or hardening, termed a “corn." This condition may be contributed to by a wrongly balanced diet. As the thickened skin enlarges in area, it presses upon the bones of the foot and intensifies the pain. There is but one way to cure a corn and that is to wear larger shoes and eat the proper types of food. Foot baths of Epsom salts and warm water twice daily, the feet being immersed for at least twenty minutes, may also help. Many sufferers have adopted walking on grass when wet with the dew, as a means of preventing or stopping corns, a priest in Cincinnati, Ohio,' having started this cult. Perhaps the only good that comes from these early morning strolls is that the feet are released from the tight leather casing and the dew­ helps soften the corn. I have never had a com, be­ cause I never wore tight shoes. MAHATMA GANDHI— (By Dale Carnegie) — ♦ Law or Lawlessness Tire stage has been reached in Ontario when it has become a question whether law or lawlessness will prevail. With hold-ups staged in Toronto at an aver­ age rate of one a day since the beginning of the New Year, with a very much similar record in Hamilton, and also violent occurrences in London, the three largest cities in Western Ontario, together with in­ numerable robberies with violence in various sections and the theft of over §300 worth of stock from the pool room of P. Stratakos, right here in Ingersoll something drastic will have to he done or else the en­ forcement of law will fall into disrepute in this Province. LOOKING BACK 23 YEARS From the Files of The Oxford Tribune, | Ingersoll, Canada, Thursday, Fob. 3rjj, 1916 | Last Fall we found it necessary to discontinue our column, “59 Years Ago," because The Tribune- files are not intact down through the years. We had many letters expressing regret that our “59 Years Ago,” did not appear. There was nothing within our power to change the situation, but we have located issues of the Oxford Tribune for the year 1916 and 191" and commencing with this week we will cun a weekly column, "Looking Back 23 Years”, as long as the issues hold out. The young men of Ingersoll and vicinity are doing their duty for the Empire, 156 have already joined the 168th. The Ingersoll Company will be 250 strong when recruited. It begins to look as if certain elements of society are beginning to emulate the practices which were taking place almost wholesale in the United States before Edgar Hcovur organized his squads of G-Men to exterminate these desperate lawbreakers. While nunferous young men born in Ontario have been ap­ prehended and^convicted of some of these petty offenses, ft as if some of the major crimes that have not been solved were perpetrated by experts. Whether these have drifted in from the United States because of the tenors of Hoover's G-Men, it would ‘be interesting td, know. As matters stand at present, conditions in Ontario are a distinct challenge to the police forces of the Province. It is rather humiliat­ ing for the-^itizens of Ontario, which- has long boasted of its law-abiding character, to read of these occurrences day by ’day. If there is any weakness in the co-ordination of the police forces of the Province, as the Attorney- General has hinted, because of inefficiency, then there should be a thorough reorganization. In Yegard to the murder of Jimmy Windsor in Toronto so much time has elapsed that*the perpetrators appear to have made good their escape. These hold-ups, both of a major and ■petty character, are becoming altogether too frequent, arid unless the police forces are able to cope with the situation and bring about the apprehension and conviction of the guilty persons conditions are bound to go from bad to worse. The head of the law enforcement machinery- in Ontario should take drastic action to end an intolerable state of affairs. THE DOCTOR Tells The Story by W. E. AUGH1NBAUGH, M.D. CORNS Corns are the result of civilization. The cave man and those who preceded and succeeded him, never had such callouses on their feet, for the simple, but allsufficient/teas^n that their pedal extremities were not confined within shoes or boots. Of coarse, as the world knows, the use of shoes came after/men, who for centuries,-had worn sandals, which did not in any manner restrict' or press upon the surface of the feet, and it is a matte/ of record that an Egyptian king had a slave carry his slippers, only putting them on when absolutely necessary be­ cause he had developed a comKfrom wearing them. /Then came various types of foot coverings in the form of the shoe such as we know it In summer majority of people went barefooted, but when the snows of winter came they wrapped their feet in • The old McCarty House has been transformed into a*t-lub for the 168th Battalion and will be known as the "Soldiers' Heme Club."

Then newspapers allover the world feature the story be­cause Mahatma Gandhi is one of the leading figures of this generation. Reckoned in terms of money, Gandhi is a poor man. If he sold all his earthly possessions, they prob­ ably would not bring seventy-five cents; yet he is more powerful than any millionaire on earth. Physically he is weak; and he re­ fuses to use force or violence; yet his teachings and his spiritual influ­ ence are more potent and powerful than a hundred battleships of Eng­ land. One person out of every six on earth lives in India. And for cen­ turies, these people of India have been asleep; now this little frail man, who weighs less than a hundred pounds, is arousing India to a sense of its own gigantic power. He is in­ stituting reforms that may have reaching effects on the history of the world. "Tfhera are many curious things about Gandhi. For example, he has a set of false teeth, which he car­ ries in a fold of his loin cloth. He puts them in his mouth only when he wants to eat. After his meal, he takes them out, washes them and puts them back in his loin cloth again. He speaks English with an Irish accent, lor one of his first teachers was an Irishman. He wears noth­ ing but a loin cloth now, but for years he lived in London and wore a silk hat and spats and carried a cane. He was educated at London Uni­ versity and became an attorney. But the first time he attempted to make a speech in court, his knees tremb­ led. and he wa^-so frightened that he had to sit down in confusion and defeat. As a lawyer in London he got nowhere at all. He was practic­ ally a failure there. Years before, when he first came to England, his Irish teacher made him copy the Sermon on the Mount, ever and over again, purely as an exeitise in English. Hour after hour, Gandhi wrote "Bles.se I are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth . . . Blessed are the pc.t.emak- . era for they shall be called the chil- dern rf God," and these words made i> profound impression on him. Presently, he was sent to South Africa to collect some huge debts; and he tried to apply there the phil­ osophy of the Sermon on the Mcunt. And it worked. Clients flocked to M. H. Gandhi because he fettled their claims peacefully out of court and saved them time and expense. Gandhi soon had an income of fifteen thousand dollars a year. TJie meek was inheriting the earth. But was he happy? No. Because he knew that untold millions of his fellow countrymen were living inmisery. He had seen thousands dieof starvation, and worldly successseemed cheap and unimportant. Sohe gave up all his money, and took(he vow of poverty, and since thattime he has consecrated his life to helping the poor and the down­ trodden. Millions regard Mahatma Gandhi as a saint. Others believe that he is the reincarnation of a Hindu god. In a world filled with sordid greed and selfishness, I, for one, feel like standing with bowed head before this man who’ is seeking nothing for himself but is willing to die in order that others may live. HOUSE and HOME - by Mary E. Dague - Author of Sister Mary's Kitchen Remember that house plants have but one mission—to be decorative. But our own blissful ignorance in selecting a plant may defeat this purpose. It’s best to choose a variety that requires no special care lest it droop and fade for its owner. So unless you know that the Jerusa­ lem Cherry will be in a not-too-dry atmosphere, pick out one of the new begonias that will do well under any condition and bloom all win­ ter. Unusual potted herbs such as sweet lavender and lemon veibena make delightful gifts. If the ground is frozen hard and deep now is the time to apply the winter mulch to the plantings that need it. Bear in mind that the real purpose of this mulch is not to keep out the cold, rather to keep it in. Winter injury to hardy plants is due in a great degree to changing tem­ peratures which, in the soil, bring about root injury -through alternate freezing and thawing of the earth, and above ground, create an unstable condition in stems and foliage—in the case of overgreens. These are the dangers that winter mulching is planned to minimize by providing winter protection.• 9 • If your hands arc in and out of water fifty times a day you must give them special care.* Every time you dry your hands after a house­ hold task.use a few drops of a good hand lotion.

It is being rea­lized more and more that there is much to be remedies in the admin­ istration of the country; that tdeven million people do not, and should not present a problem of government that the existence of nine provincial legislatures would indicate; the machinery is too complicated, and the expense too great. But they are also beginning to think along lines not suggested by the publisher of The Globe and Mail. They are won­ dering whether there is to be found in this series of broadcasts an ans­ wer to a frequent question of re­ cent weeks, "why has Mr. Hepburn gone to Australia?” It is only on the surface that Mr. MeCuilagh's remarks appear to be a challenge to Mr Hepburn, to rise up and assume the role of a Moses leading his fellow-countrymen out of the bondage of high taxes into the 1 romisvd land of "bread and work for all.” Closer study rather sug­ gests the insinuation that if he should attempt to lead a national party the people would be well-ad­ vised to follow him. for as Mr. Mc- Cullagh says, he is a "clever man.” 1 Ingersoll Girl Was Married In Toronto A quiet but pretty wedding was demnized at Howard Park Church, Toronto, on Saturday, January 21, when Rev.

Well KnownAs a Newspaperman.News of the death of Harry B.Muir managing director and co-pub-lisher of The Kingston Whig-Stan­ dard, was received locally by his many friends, with a feeling of pro­ found regret. Mr. Muir passed away at Kingston on Wednesday, January 25th after an Jllness of more than a year’s duration. He was born at Avon Bank, Perth County, Ontario, In February, 1890 and was in his 49th year. He was a son of the late John B. Muir and Mrs. Muir of Ingersoll. Deceased was educated in the Ingersoll Public Schools and the local Collegiate In­ stitute. Almost his entire adult life was devoted to newspa|K>r work. He was with the Houck Newspaper Ser­ vices in Chicago in 1909, the Winni­ peg Telegram in 1910 and 1911 and until 1913 he was connected with the Sunday magazine New York newspapers. he came to London and served from 1913. to 1923 as advertising man­ ager of The London Free Press and was later general manager of The London Advertiser from 1923 to sections of That year ullagh says, he is a "clever man.” j National unity is being advocate.! i in Australia with abolition of sum*? oi the states legislatures as a meas­ ure in economy, for Australia is a shining example of the axtrava- gance of to<. many governments. So what would be more likely than on his return, for Mr. Hepburn to ' throw himself into u movement to abolish, or at least lessen th? re­ sponsibilities of. provincial govern­ ments? So far Mr. McCuiLigh has not suggested that the Ontario Prem- i< rs should lead a movement of pro­ vincial premiers to give mon loval support to the present national leaders, so it would appear as if he wanted him to form a new party for the federal field. It will be interesting to whether what began as a solo become a duet before long. see will Aged Beachville Man James Lightheart, Dies James Lightheart, aged 85, for many years a resident of Beachville, died in the Woodstock General Hos­ pital, on Sunday, January ivm. .« was admitted there suffering from a broken hip.* years ago, he left Beachville | Woodstock to make his home. ’ viving are three sons, William, Kob- ! ert and Arthur of Beachville; two daughters, Mrs. Jack Porteus, Lon­ don; and Alice Lighlheart, of Van- : couver.

Both the liquor industry and the temperance organizations agree that thefe has been a great decline in drinking in the past year. Now thut jt is not illegal to drink, a lot of people who didn’t care for the stuff anyway but drank the prohibition bootleg liquor just to defy the law, have gone back to their old habits of moderate drinking or no drinking at all. As liquor sales decline, gasoline consumption has gone up.

They still coined three-cent and two-cent pieces when I was a boy. The first three-cent pieces were tiny little coins of silver. Then came the nickel pieces; a little smaller than a dime, with the Roman III to indi­ cate their value. The two-cent pieces were made of bronze, like the pi esent cents, but were us large as the present nickels, or larger, but not as large* as the old copper cents, which were bigger than a quarter. Uok at any silver coin you have —you haven’t any gold coins any more— for the “mint mark” that tells where it was made.

Indiana, the copunun­ ity, with' the aid of the F.1LA. and the W.P.A. is building three-robin i houses at a cost for materials of $900 a house, plus W.P.A, labor. These are substantial homes, far better than the average slunr'dwell- ing in the large cijies, equipped with all necessary conveniences but no luxuries, and rent for $2.50 a month, which brings them within the reach cf th<? very poorest. They are built on vacant property for which the owner is paid one dol­ lar, with a provision that the house will be moved if he finds a better use for the land. The houses are built in sections so they can be taken down and set up again in a day or two. For a large part of the very poot. in every part of the country, this scheme seems to me. the most prac­ tical way of extending the merciful help to which the people are com­ mitted. gasoline make a dangerous mixture.

It looks odd, but we will soon get used to it, as we did to the buffalo nickel which was new in 1913. That caused a lot ofcomment In that peaceful, pros­ perous, pre-war time people didn’t have anything much more serious to talk about than whether they liked the looks of the new coins. Before the buffalo nickel, the five- cent piece with a big V on it was coined for 25 years. Before that the nickel had a big figure 5 almost covering one side, I don’t remember any nickels of the present size be- , fore that one came in, in my boy­ hood. We had nickel coins the size of a silver dime, but labeled ’‘half­ dimes” in my childhood, and there were still in circulation the tiny si;. CURIOSITIES All the official coinage of Can­ ada and the United States is round, but I used to have some six-sided j gold coins made in a private mint in Bartindale Girls San Francisco in the 1850’s. Almost, everybody has seen the Chinese cop­ per coins, from the name of which we get the word “cash,’ which have square holes in the middle so they' can be strung on a cord or wire. The rarest of all American coins is the silver dollar of 1804. Nineteen thousand of them were coined, but ‘only a dozen are known to exist. They are all owned by collectors, nnd the last time one was sold it brought $3,500. Their scarcity is due to the fact that the price of silver went up so high inf 1805 that it paid to melt up dollars and sell the silver. Nobody knows what became of all the “eagle” cents of *1856. If you come across an old cent, whitish in color, because it had nickel mixed with copper, you have one of the first cents ever made of the present size. If it is dated 1856 you can get from 420 upward for it from a coin collector. the Sarnia Hospital, as nur.-es-in- training.

Healy, Thomas E. Jackson, Dr. II. B. McKay and Alex. Yule. Several accounts were read and a communication was received frohj the Deputy Minister of Education, Dr, Duncan McArthur, thanking the Ingersoll Board on oehalf of the Minister of Education, for releasing Mr. D. W. Gordon, ,on such short notice in the middle of a school term, so that the Department could appoint him as Inspector of Manual Train­ ing Classes for the province. Trustee Jackson presented the re­ port of the Finance Committee, rec­ ommending the payment of a number of accounts. This report was adopted on motion of Trustees Jackson :>ne Healy. On motion of Trustees Jackson and Healy, the Board went into Com­ mittee of the Whole, to consider the estimates for the year 1939. Chair­ man J. Ferris David remained in the chair.

MacDOUGALLKIWANIS SPEAKERWoodstock Aiderman GaveFine Talk on Subject, “Can­ada’s Foreign Policy.’’Aiderman R. A. MacDougall,Woodstock barrister, addressed the Kiwanis Club at their meeting on Thursday evening. Mr. MacDougall’s subject was "Canada’s Foreign Pol­ icy.” He was introduced by W. R. Marshall. President Dr. C. A. Os­ born was in charge of the meeting. Five new members were received into the club in the persons of Pro­ vincial Officer A. Lawrence, L. E, Westcott, A. E. Izzard, George H. Mason, and James Lj McArthur. The new members were officially receiv­ ed into the club by John J. McLeod and President Osborn. They were introduced by C. A. Love. Summing up his opinion on' Cart- ada’s stand in the recent European trouble, he said: "When the time of crisis does arrive in which Canada may become involved in war or should take a stop in that regard, Canada will take her place after due consideration. Parliament will be call- 1 cd together and will decide what is | to be done. There has been criticism j of Prime Minister Mackenzie King j because he did -not take a stand in I the crisis of the past year. Those who j criticize him say that he should have stated his stand and his willingness to support Great Britain at that time. That criticism, I hold, misses the point. If it had been only a mat­ ter of fighting Fascism in the recent troubles, there would be no question as to where Canada would have stood and what she would have done to line up with Great Britain and democ­ racy in general. It is noteworthy that there has been no criticism from Leader Manion of the Conservative party as to the attitude of Mr. King at that time. There is no argument among the political parties as to what should be done in time of war. A former member from this county, Hon. D. M. Sutherland, expressed^ himself recently as being of the opinion that Mr. King was correct in his attitude on the matter.” He explained that whatever was done, woul! be done in the name of all of Canada. It was argued that there would have to be a balance be­ tween sentimental attachment to the Motherland, trade matters and many other factors. "When that time comes, we will have to adopt a policy that will carry all Canada with it,” said the .-.peaker in conclusion. Kiwaniun H. G.

Both small and large picturehere were made from the same nega­tive. Any picture can be enlarged. DO t o S o O M m E uc o h f y — ou r a p i l c o t t u r o e f s s I u n r c p lu lu d s e background and material at top, bot­tom and sides that has little or noth­ing to do with the subject, and in­jures the picture effect? Don’t despair. Such pictures can be retrieved. Here’s how: pick out the part you want, and have Just that enlarged—to the size of the crigi- nal print, or even larger. For example, look at the picture of the little girl above.. The headwas the interesting part. Besides,her hands were too close to the camera, and showed up too large in the finished picture. The nega­ tive was “masked” in making the enlargement so that only the head showed. Result: a much better pic­ ture. When you get a good picture, en­ large It! Any good snap is better when it’s big. Enlarging “opens up” the details—lets you see Inter­ esting things you didn't see before. And a large picture Just naturally has more appeal to the eye. Givea person two pictures, equally good,and he will automatically look atthe larger one first. Moreover, hewHl look at it longer./Don’t let small size or surplusmaterial handicap your pictures.Any snapshot can be enlarged some­what, and some, especially those made on fine-grained film, can be Increased many times in size. Very likely you have pictures in your album right now, that. If enlarged, would be worth framing and hang­ ing in the home. Try it. You may discover you’re a better snapshootor than you thought! 186 John van Guilder “I attended a specially successful sleight-of-hand performance last night,” remarked a man to a friend.

She had been told when she was soyoung that it meant nothing at al)to her. And as the years went byMid she was surrounded by love andluxury, she thought little of it. Once when she was in high schoolshe had asked about her own peoplecasually, more out of curiosity t' an because of any felt need for them,and she had been told that they were respectable people who hadbeen unfortunate and couldn't affordto bring her up as they would like to have her brought up It had allbeen very vague. Rut Marjorie was happy, and her foster mother greatlyStressed the fact that while Marjoriehad not been bom her own. she hadbeen chosen because they loved herat first sight, and that meant more even than" if she had been borntheirs.Mrs. Wetherill was a devoted par­ ent. and she and Marjorie were dearcompanions. When Mr. Wetherill di< d Mar-iorie was still in her .school life, and she and the mother were broughteven closer together, so that whenMrs Wetherill was suddenly stricken with an illness that theyboth knew would be swift and fatal, the girl spent the last months of herfoster mother's life in utmost devo­tion to her. When it was over, and she was alone, she felt utterly deso­late jjnd life seemed barren indeed There Were many friends ofcourse, tor the Wctherills had alarge pleasant social circle, and there ware instant invitations forprolonged visits here and there, but Marjorie had no heart to go Shelonged tor someone of her own. The world seemed empty and uninterest­ing.T hen one morning about ten days before Christmas, because she couldnot scttle^to anything else, and be­ cause she had been almost dreadingo go over her beloved fostermother's intimate papers, she wentbravely to Mrs. Wetherili's desk inthe living room, unlocked it, andbegan to look over the papers inthe pigeon holes. As she went from drawer todrawer, emptying every pigeon-hole, and burning in the fireplace suchthings as had to be destroyed. sl\ecame finally to the little secret drawer, and there she found among sweet and qum n ad was hen, andhow many complications there mightbe if she broke the long silence be­tween herself and her own family Yet the longing in her heart in­creased, to see them, even to find out the worst possible about them,just to have them for her own. Not to be alone in the great worldThere was a sister, too. and how wonderful it would be to have a sis­ter! She had always wished for asister. Or—perhaps the sister had not lived after all! Suddenly Marjorie buried her face in her pillow and wept. The morning mail brought twa invitations to spend Christmas weekwith friends. Christmas was only ten days off and it loomed large and gloomyThe thought of Christma- without the only mother she had ever knownseemed intolerable. But when site reasoned that per­haps forgetting was best for the present, and tried to decide whichinvitation she should accept, sherealized that she didn't feel like go­ ing to either place.‘She was stiff in her unsettled state of mind when evening came, andEvan Brower arrived to call upon her.The Browers were one of the best old families, and among the closestfriends of the Wetherills. EvanBrower was three or four years old'-r than Marjorie, and though shehad known him practically all her life, it had not been until the Igstyear that he had paid her much attention.‘’You are looking tired and white!''he said scrutinizing her face sharply."You need a change, and I've cometo offer one Mother wants youto come over and stay a couple ofweeks with her. She thought youmight like to help her get ready forthe family gathering at Christmastime. It will take your mind offyour loneliness." Marjorie's heart sank Here wasthe question again! And a family gathering! The hardest kind of athing to go through, with this thought of her own unknown familyin the back of her mind. “Qh. that is dear of your mother,Evan!” she said "I do appreciate it a lot. and some other time I'd loveto come, but just now I don’t feel I could.'!He settled down comfortably to itv ioi invm.“And I still say. 'Let sleepinjdogs he’." said Evan coldly Am then he laid his hand once more others in a possessive way as if h<owned her. “They never cared anything fosyou or they wouldn't have sold youin the first' place. And m>w you are ,i being of another world than theirsand they have no right to intrude into your life and try to get yourproperty away from you! I insist—!” Marjorie drew her hand decidedlyaway from under his again and stoodup, her own chin lifted d< fiantly. I er eyes bright and indignant."Evan! You must not talk that way! You simply don’t understand at all.” "But. darling, be reasonable!” saidl- van softening hi* voice. Marjorie didn't even notice he had called herdarling It was such a commonphrase of the day. and Evan was a vuy close friend. But his voice was!c-< aggressive now. more gentle. He got up and stood beside her,taking her hands in his and draw­ ing her nearer to him. "Listen, littlegirl' If ton are really serious about this thing, of cotir-e it will have tobe investigated I still think it would be better not. but if you have setyour conscience to it, I beg you will let me do the investigating for you.I am a lawyer. I know how to pro­ tect your interests, and I will d>whatever you want done conscien­tiously. I am sure you can trust, me, Marjorie. I love you. ‘ don’t vuuknow it. little girl?"She looked up at him startled * It was the first time he had ever spoken of love. He had just been agood friend, somewhat as she sup. posed a brother might be, only morepolite than some brothers. She drew back and tried gentiv totake her hands away from his clasp, but he held them firnilv and drewher closer.“Pear little girl'" he said sudden­ ly.-putting his face down and layingbis cheek against hers, seeking her bps with his own and pressing a 'kiss upon them. For an instant she yielded her<e!fto that embrace, her lips to that kiss;but only an instant so brief it might scarcely have been recognized by theman as yielding. For suddenly she sprang away, and put out her hands win protest. “No. please, not now! I can’t think thick letter for herself.

It was the first installation for this newly form­ ed chapter and the ceremony was very efficiently conducted by Sister Ethel Malcolm of Ingersoll, Worthy Grand Matron of the Grand Chapter of Ontario, assisted by the Immediate Past Worthy Grand Patron, Brother Harold Kitchen; Londkxn, Grund Martha, Sister Alberta Ellis, Wood- stock, as Grand Marshall; Past Worthy Grand Matron, Sister Esther Wilkes, London, Sister Josephine Kitchen, London, as Chaplain; Sis­ ter Gertrude Robbins, London, Or­ ganist; Bro. Cecil Ramey, London, as Sentinel; Sister May Moms, P.D. D.G.M., Mossley, as Warder; Sister Edith E. Volk, P.M., Ingersoll, and Bro. Art. Wilkes, P.P., London. The ceremony took place in the Chapter room in the Masonic Banquet Hall. Proceeding the installation a ban­ quet was held in the Sunday School Hall, of St. Paul’s Presbyterian Church. This was catered to by the Ladies Aid Society of the church. The tables were lovely with white cloths and decorations in a color scheme of green and yellow with baskets of lovely daffodils. Mrs. Ruby Elford and Miss Doris Shut­ tleworth were soloists for the pro­ gram at the banquet tables with Sister Violet Petrie as accompanist. Bro. Joseph M. Wilson, Worthy Pat­ ron, presided as toastmaster. Rev. Dr. H. H. Turner offered the invoca­ tion and a welcome to the guests was extended by Worthy Matron, Sister Edith Elliott Volk. The toast to “The King,” proposed by Bro. Wilson, was responded to by the singing of the National Anthem. Brother J. Ferris David, Associate Patron, proposed the toast to “Grand Chapter,” to which Sister Ethel Malcolm, W.G.M., responded. Mrs. Malcolm reviewed the history of the Older of the Eastern Star which was founded some eighty years ago, and now has over 13,000 Chapters, and upwards of a million and a half members. She said that while the Order was new to Ingersoll and many might wonder what it is, what it stands for and what it does, it could be best explained that the Or­ der has tolerance for the rights and feelings of others and works in the interests and welfare of the entire community. The Worthy Grand Mat­ ron held that Eastern Star officers made better workers in the church and pointed out that she had always urged the members not to neglect their homes’ or their church for thClr chapter. The toast to the “Retiring and In­ coming Officers,” was proposed by Brother Henry I, Stewart and Sister Florence E. Macpherson, Associate Matron, made the response. Miss Shuttleworth*s number was, “Kerry Dance,” by Molloy and Mrs. *Elfordsang, “I *Hear a Thrush at Eve,” ARMS USELESS ON AWEI DAYRheumatic Pains Relievedby KruschenHere is a noteworthy instance ofthe manner in which damp weathercan affect the joints of one who issubject to rheumatic pains.“I had been Buttering from rheu­matism very badly,” a man writes,"and had such pains in my jointa that1 could hardly bear it, on a wet dayespecially. It pained me terribljto use my arms, and I was hardly able to work. I tried two differentremedies, but I was still as bad after the treatment.“Then I was told to try KruschenSalts, which quickly brought relief.So of course I have kept on with it,and I am now much better and have never felt so fit for years. 1 usedto feel so miserable and sluggish,but now.it is a pleasure to be aWt towork.”—S.B.The pains and stiffness of rheu­ matism are often caused by uricacid crystals in the muscles andjoints. The numerous salts in Kru­ schen assist in stimulating the in­ternal organs to healthy, regular activity, and help them to eliminateexcess uric acid.

A toy auto­ mobile on the drive, a few toy cowsor horses scattered about—and youhave a complete rural scene.It’s as simple as thatFor table-top pictures, any kind of.camera can be used. It yours is afixed-focus camera, or one that fo­cuses only to five or six feet, slip aportrait attachment on the lens—this enables you to take close-ups.The camera should be placed on afirm support, and the lens closeddown to a small opening. This makes both near and far objects sharper. Time exposures should be made, using either ordinary electric bulbs or, preferably, regular amateurphoto bulbs. Table-top pictures offer a wide choice of subject matter. You can take a couple of model airplanes, hang them on dark threads, and picture an aerial combat. Or, you can use toy soldiers and cannon from the dime store, and stage a war on the living-room floor. A woolly white blanket, or cotton bat­ting, provides snow for a winter scene. A sheet of black cardboardis a fine background for a nightscene. A mirror, laid outjlat, makesa sheet of ice. Brown sugar or saltcan be used for a sandy beach. Tinytwigs suggest bare trees. Trans­parent wrapping material, properlycrumpled, resembles stormy water.Place a ship model on, a sheet ofthis—and you have a storm at sea.Clearly, in “table-tops’' there aremarvelous chances for pictures. Thesky Is the limit—and there’s no endto the fun you can have. Try a few now, and you'll see. 221 John van Guilder CRAMPTON Miss Jean Hall of London, was the guest of Miss Mabel Clement overthe week-end. , .Miss Marjorid Roberts spent theweek-end with her parents, Mr. andMrs. J.
