S. A., $2.00CHARLES G. MITCHELLADDRESSED K1WANIS Manager of Oxford CountyBranch of the Canada Perm­ anent Mortgage Corpora­tion, Was Guest Speaker at Ingersoll Club. Charles G. Mitchell, manager of the Oxford County branch of the Canada Permanent Mortgage Cor­ poration, was the guest speaker at the regular meeting of the Ingersoll Kiwanis Club, held last Thursday evening at the Ingersoll Inn. Presi­ dent Dr. C. A. Osborn was m charge of the meeting and the speaker was introduced by Kiwanian Alex. Yule, vice-president of the club. Mr. Mit­ chell gave an address on the subject, “Wills,” with such a fund of humor that he kept his audience literally at the edge of their chairs and With delighted laughs throughout the evening. His talk was exceptionally good and decidedly humorous. Mr. Mitchell gave a numlc.- of ex­ amples of wills during his talk and some of them were in rhyme so amusing and some so utterly foolish that he could scarcely complete read­ ing them for the applause which they evoked. Wills, the speaker said, are tre­ mendously important documents and they bring out the characteristics and Mrsonalities of the person leaving or making them as nothing else does. The speaker quoted from, among many others, wills that have been written by women haters and by bachelors, of the latter saying that one will had contained the words, referring to property left to girls known in their youth, “because to them I owe all my earthly happiness.” Practically all the characteristics pos­ sible to the human mind are to be found in a number of wills that might be gathered together, the speaker said. Mr. Mitchell brought to the atten­ tion of his hearers the fact that a will is contrary to general opinion, not a simple document and it should be given careful consideration. It is not entirely a safe process to write one’s own will because it might be faulty even with the best intentions and this migh possibly occur even in one’s own family. “Why'leave wills so badly written, so confusing, or for that matter no ■wills at all where there is property to be disposed of, that they would have to be taken to court with un­ necessary expense, often taking away much-needed support from relatives left, when a little care and forethought would eliminate all this kihd of thing?” asked the speaker. “And so I say to you that I cannot emphasize *W>o strongly the real value of going to a lawyer to have your will drawn. The formalities re­ lating to wills are simple but they are important, and, couched in plain language such as in use today, they are really a relief to have cared for and properly attended to. The form of a wHl is immaterial and may even be written in rhyme as many used to be, and do not have to be written even on paper, but of course, the more simple and straightforward a will is drawn, the easier for all con­ cerned,” said the spaker, Kiwanian I* A. Westcott, on be­ half of the club members, expressed the thanks of the gathering to Mr. Mitchell for his splendid, talk.

Successful Year At Banner Cheese Factory The annual meeting of the Pat­ tons of the Banner Cheese Factory held last week at the factory was largely attended. The annual report for 1938 showed the factory had a most successful year and all express­ ed satisfaction with the make, it being pointed out by Frank Herns, chief dairy instructor for Western Ontario, that the Banner factory stood high in the district for high scoring cheese which was a credit to the maker. David Calvert, vice-president, act­ ed as chairman of the meeting in the absence of the president, Thomas J. Leslie, through illness.

JAMES’ CHURCH SPONSOR FASHION SHOW The members of the Evening Guild of St. James’ Church, have again demonstrated to the ladies of Ingersoll and district their capability of putting on a Fashion Show, which has left nothing to be desired. The merchants of Ingersoll must realize what these young women undertake, when they plan to exhibit their var­ ious costumes and all that goes to ward turning out a smartly appointed woman. The Spring showing of very smart apparel was held Tuesday afternoon and evening in the Assembly Hall of St, James' Church, with a very large attendance. The president of the Guild, Mrs. Wallace Lee and Mrs. H. E. Merifield very graciously wel­ comed the many present. They wore gift corsages of orchids. Rev. H. E. Merifield aptly introdu­ ced Mrs. H. H. Mac-Bain, who is so definitely endowed with the requis­ ites of being a successful commenta­ tor in describing all the best points of the various showings. Mrs. Mac- Bain was very attractively gowned in blue in the afternoon and in grey chiffon in the evening. Her orchid corsage was a gift from the Guild. Delightful musical numbers werw'pro vided by Miss Muriel Parker. The merchants showing smart suits, coats, hats afternoon and evening dresses and footwear, along with some very stunning accessories, were: The Walker Stores, Ingersoll Housefurnishing Company, Passmore Store, W. W. Wilford, Mayberry and Moon, Marge’s Wool Shop, Agnew- Surpass and Neil Shoe Store. The Beauty Salons represented were: The Cinderella, Rose, Nona, P. Ingham and Story's. Some exquisite jewelry was loaned by the F. W. Waters Store and worn by the models. The Canada Fur Co., through their representative, W. W. Wilford, exhibited some handsome models. Miss Ardem of Sheffield, England, (on the staff of Memorial School), wore the various pieces with dis­ tinction. The piece de resistance of a show is the "Bridal Procession,” and Tuesday’s coterie was really lovely. Miss Hester Counter, the bride, wore white net over satin with a three yard train, her veil was caught with dainty flowers and she carried a white prayer book with streamers,- arranged with cattaleya hybrid or­ chid, valley lilies and roses. ■Jhe little train bearers were Mar­ garet Riley and Donna Merifield ana were adorable in de-esprit over pink satin with flowers in their hair. . The maid of honor, Mary Hall, wore a lovely fuschia shaded gown with an orchid in her hair and car­ ried a muff of fuschia sweet peas, cyclamen, lily-of-the-valley Ind pan­ sies. Arlene Greenaway and Dorothy Healy were bridesmaids in orchid silk crepo made on Princess lines and carried muffs similar to the maid of honor. In this modern age our styles are really replicas of many of ye 'olden times, and the buffant skirts of the Victorian era are being worn. Mrs. Harley Goodhand wore an evening gown of this type in a Queen blue shade, while Mrs. Alex. Wurker ap­ peared in a purple afternoon dress, a Duchess of Gloucester copy of the Richard the g&sond regime, and she also wore the wimple-scarf, the old- new idea so in vogue just now. The gorgeous floral accessories Were cleverly designed by Mr. and Mrs. Baxter. The Douglas Company very kindly loaned the furniture for the stage setting. The members of the Evening Guild are greatly indebted to all who patronized their undertaking. The blankets were won by Mrs Fred Wood and Mr. George W. Fisher. We regret that owing to lack of space, we cannot give a longer ac­ count of this splendid showing of beautiful clothes. Mr. and Mrs. D. J. Jewhurst and daughters, Misses Dorothy and Jean, of Sandwich, Ontario, were Sunday guests with Mr. and Mrs. Wm. C. Roddy and Mrs. Wm. J. Roddy, Mer­ ritt street. George F. Janes spent the week­ end with his son, Lloyd G. Janes Ir Toronto. C. Wilson was a week-end visitor at the home of his parents, Brampton. W. A. C. Forman HeadsCommunity “Y” Board The organization meeting of the 1939 Board of Directors of the Inger­ soll Community "Y”, was held last week. Officers for the current year were n&med. The resignations of the president, R. G. Start, and treasurer, F. N. Horton, were received with re­ gret in view of their long term of service to the organization. A new plan one of rotation, with regard to officers, was inaugurated by reason of which officers will be stepped-up at least each two years in order to pass the responsibility and privileges through a greater number of representative citizens. Officers chosen to head the "Y” for the ensuing term year: W. A. C. Forman, president; Dr. L. W. Staples, vice-president; Ross B. Bigham, re­ cording secretary; P. L. Smith treas­ urer. Standing committees are to be ap­ pointed at the first meeting of the newly-formed executive. Consideration was given to the pro­ gram for the coming year as well as the policies to be followed, particu­ larly in relation to the association, as i> co-operative community enterprise. It was reported that the total cam- tpaign subscriptions to date had reached approximately $2050, with a considerable number of prospects yet to be heard from. Directors ex­ pressed gratification at the results and appreciation of the support of citizens in general. REV. C. D.

Daniel, minister of Trinity United Church, who spoke on the subpect, “A Philosophy for To-day.” Rev. Mr. Daniel touched upon the doings in the yarious coun­ tries of the world to-day by peoples of different races and creeds, and dwelt upon the fact that it was only the brotherhood df Goii that could bring all factions together. The speaker’s talk contained many inter­ esting ideas and much food for thought Lawrence Pickard moved a vote of thanks to Rev. Mr. Daniel. This was seconded by Austin Grainger. The applause that greeted the motion indicated clearly that the remarks of the speaker were thoroughly enjoyed and greatly appreciated. Former Teacher Here Dies At Belmont Belmont—Mrs. F. J.

VEALEProprietor and EditorPHONES:—Tribune Office. 13 - Residence, 442AMember of The Canadian Weekly Newspapers’ Association THURSDAY, MARCH 23rd, 1939 A Canadian’s Expectation of Life What we mean by the expectation of life may be worked out in this way. Take one hundred thousand Children at the age of five and keep track of them until their deaths, and the average length of time they lived would have been their expectation of life. The same can be done with any other age. The expectation of a boy just born is 60 years; of a girl just born it is 62 years. Because of the heavy mortality in the first year of life, particularly among boys the child’s expectation increases from week to week during the first perilous year of its existence, and the anxiety of the parents decreases accordingly. The one year old Canadian boy has the expectation of reaching the age of 65 and the Canadian girl 66. The boy has gained five years and the girl four above their expectations at birth. It is after the' age of 21 that the expectation of life steadily decreases. When a Canadian boy reaches his majority he has in prospect 48 years to live, or to the age 69. That is by the law of averages. When he gets to 40 he may anticipate 32 years more, or until he is 72. When he retires, say at 65, h« may ex­ pect to have a comfortable thirteen years of retire­ ment and pass on at 78. If he reaches 80, he should live for six years more. When he arrives at the cen­ tury mark his expectation of life is two years. Of course, the expectation of life, as long as one is not on his dea’hbcd, never goes down quite to zero, but fpr statistical purposes it is assumed that zero is one hundred and ten. That doe not mean, however, that one hundred and ten should be consid­ ered the extreme upper limit of life. We cannot for­ get the story of Methuselah, who is credited with 969 years. The result of the Dominion Bureau of Statistics’ in­ vestigations tends to reinforce the Biblical dictum that the length of life is three score years and ten. At the younger ages and up to the age of 50 the im­ provement in Canada is very marked in the ten years of whO we have record, but above 70 there was a deterioration in vitality though it was very slight It seems that today, in Canada in particular, there are far more people attaining the allotted span than ever before in history, but there are not appreciably more centenarians than there were a hundred years ago.On the other hand the decreasing mortality at younger ages is a token of the vastly smaller amount of illness among young people today. Life is improv­ ing at the ages of health and vigour—at older ages Nature seems to continue her procedure of making way for new life despite all man’s efforts. Shedding The Fur Coat The sun is shining brighter in the heavens, the days are becoming warmer in most parts of Canada, newspapers are carrying stories about the early birds and we are all talking about spring. It is here. Whether it will be a late spring or an early one it is our privilege to discuss, but Tuesday, the 21st day of March was the first day of spring, being the vernal equinox, and we can’t get away from that. In no time at all we are going to throw off that win­ ter coat that has been bearing us down for months under its great weight. We are going to open our­ selves up to the balmy breezes and forget for a while that just a few weeks back there were icy blasts that threatened to freeze our chins and our ears. We could hear men saying to one another that the only sensible fellows were those who let their beards grow. We respected the common sense of the prospector and the lumber jack who rode into town, the latter with a roll in his hip pocke^. and a fine crop of hair upon his face. We congiWulated him. Next day we met him and didn’t recognize him, for the whiskers were gone and maybe, but just maybe, the roll had gone too. However, he was, although perhaps unconsciously, illustrating the fundamental truth that, for the most part, conditions govern us and establish usages. That man would be nothing short of a fool who with the bitter winds of the North biting into him, did not make use of the protection Nature had provided. In town it is different. Most townsmen have been clean shaven for quite a while now. The old moustache cup is featured no more in the china merchant’s win­ dow. The young blood, up to the end of the last cen­ tury, had his tea served in a cup which kept his moustache under control—but today he keeps his cheeks as smooth as a young girl’s. There is some connection, or at least association of ideas between the whiskers and the fur coat. Men who spend much of their time ’in the open air of our northern climate, have need of fur to keep them warm in winter. They have to armour themselves for battle with the cold, very much like the wild beasts. Man, alone among the animals, is born without a coat of hs own. The monkey, which some people claim is a long-lost brother has been more favored; the gor­ illa has a good serviceable coat Man, therefore, has to provide himself with suit­ able clothing to cover his nakedness. It is a bother and an expense. Yet it has its advantages. Man and woman can adorn themselves in many fashions. The lady can acquire a spring hat and go sailing proudly under "it to church when the bells ring out their in­ vitation to.worship. We are away ahead of the other anipnals from thtflrpoint of view. The zebra, arrayed 'like a convict, canpot change his stripes. Why They Leave The Farm At the end-of 1938, Canada had a total population of 11,209,000^ and less than half of them live in therural sections! of the Dominion. This is qufteza change from the position which once prevailed in Canada. Sixty years ago~Over 80 per cent of Canadians lived on farms, and even by the beginning of- the present century 63 per cent, of the people lived on farms. But the proportion has gradu­ ally decreased, and in 1931, for tie first time there were more people in towns and cities than on the farms, being 5,572,058 urban and 4,804,728 rural. The change is further emphasized by the fact that in 1871 there were only 14 cities, 79 towns and 134villages in Canada, and 60 years later there were 112cities, 476 towns and 1,017 villages. And the citiesgrew tremendously. In these sixty years Montrealgained in population from 256,000 to 818,000; Tor­onto from 181,000 to 631,000; and Vancouver, whichhad only 13,000 people in 1871, is now the third largest city, with a population of 246,000. Closer to home we find that Kitchener, a town of 7,000 in 1871, went up to over 30,000 in 1931, and Fort William gained from a town smaller than Ingersoll of today to be a city of 26,000 people. It is interesting to recall, by the way, out of every 1,000 people in Canada, 518 ./ere males and 482 females. THE DOCTO R Tells The Story by W. E.

Indeed tobacco was not donated to mankind by the Indian but was used in many lands all over the world and jn the most re­ mote places, by aborigines long before it came to America. It entered into many ceremonial rites of the med­ icine men of New Guinea, Ugunda, Tibet, Afghanis­ tan and other localities. Later it was found to have mild medicinal qualities and was smoked in small quantities as a sedative, or given in large doses as an emetic. It grew wild in many lands and for cen­ turies no one thought of cultivating the plant Undoubtedly the American Indian used it more ex­ tensively than any of his predecessors for smoking, also for medicinal purposes. From Virginia it ul­ timately reached Europe, and those who fust used it there were looked upon as possessed of the devil, be­ cause they exhaled smoke from their noses and mouths, which clerics taught their charges, the devil alone could do. When it was definitely found that men liked to smoke because of the comfort they derived from doing so, the church and other social leaders aligned them­ selves en. masse against the lovers of the weed, alleg­ ing that its continued use “would debase the mind, ruin and overthrow the body and souL” Sermons were preached throughout the Continent and Great Britain in which it was charged that “to­ bacco was a plauge and a mischief maker, a destroyer of health and devilish.” One Pope in 1624 threatened to excommunicate all the faithful who used tobacco in any form. Peter of Russia, issued an edict order­ ing that all his subjects caught smoking, chewing tobacco or using snuff, have their noses slit and Be banished to Siberia. The Turks imposed the death penalty on all addicts to Lady Nicotine. The discovery of the New World by Columbus de­ veloped trade extensively with the oversea countries and raw materials in the form of tobacco, sugar, coffee, tea and spices formed the bulk of the cargoes of returning ships- from these places. Governments saw that it was useless to pass laws against tobacco users,-and gradually the hatred against it disappeared and its virtues began to be praised. The physicians of the sixteenth and the seventeenth centuries advocated its use for human ailments and since that time it has been - adopted throughout the world as thing which goes far beyond all the pan­ aceas, potable gold, and philosopher’s stones—a sov­ ereign remedy for all diseases. them.“Tomorrow's highways will befreeways,” he writes. “Multiple-lanehighways will be constructed withcenter parkways to separate oppos­ing streams of traffic. Highway il­lumination will be provided for the most heavily-travelled arteries. Steep grades will be levelled and sharp curves will be straightened. Grade crossings and blind intersections will be eliminated. Guard-rail pro­ tection and pedestrian walkways will be provided and all surfaces will be skidproofed. “These super-highways of tomor­ row will be built as component parts of a master plan so that in the fu­ ture it will be possible to incorporate them into a nation-wide system.” That is a dream that will come true if enough people want it to come true. And 1 think the people are getting fed up on the annual toll of lives in motor accidents due largely to poor highway conditions. It will tako time and work and money, but we’ve done tougher jobs than that, and-1 believe Mr. Upham’s dream wili come true.

TODAY andTOMORROWby Frank Barker StockbridgaROADS automobile* There couldn’t be any roads be­ fore men invented the wheel and made roads necessary. Nobody knows how long ago that was, but it was before the Indians came from Asia to America, for they knew noth­ ing about wheels until the white men came, 400-odd years ago, and brought horses and wheels. It was a long time after that be­ fore we had anything that could be called a good road anywhere in America. Probably we would have had good roads eailier if the rail­ roads had not been invented. Thomas Jefferson’s project for a great sy­ stem of national highways had hardly got well started before people be­ gan to build railroads and roadbuild­ ing practically stopped for almost a century. Nothing that we would call a good road today existed on this continent until the invention of the automobile compelled folks to improve their roads. We’ve got a lot of good roads today, but not nearly enough, and few of them as good as the best roads in Europe. P IO NEERS................................Ford I have a deep personal interest in roads for two reasons. My first an­ cestor, John Stockbridge of the Ply­ mouth Colony, was the first wheel­ wright in New England. He came over from England in 1629 in re­ sponse to a call from the colonists for an artisan who could not only build wheels for vehicles but knew how to build a water wheel. He built the first grist mill and the first saw mill in the colony. He was also chosen as “pathmaster” of Ply- 'mouth, in charge of highways. I sometimes think I inherited some of his interest in wheels and roads to run them on. As a very young man I was an ardent cyclist, and took part in the movement to build cycle paths along every highway. I abandoned he bicycle for a horse and* buggy. When the motor-car came in I owned one of the first and found out from per­ sonal experience just how bad a road could be. I took,a hand, in 1912, in organ- . izing the movement for Federal Aid for Highways, which has resulted in the great ‘national road system of oday. We couldn’t get the govern­ ment interested until after Henry Ford had sold enough of his cars to fanners so that they no longer re­ garded automobiles as rich men’s playthings, and wanted good roads for themselves. ROMANCE . . Roman* To me there is more romance in an old road than in an old house. So many people have travelled over it that the old highway seems to echo with, the clatter of Tiooves and the chatter of human beings who once rode over it but are long since de- •parted. The best, if not the only good roads'of ancient times were built by the Romans. I drove a few years ago at 80 miles an hour over a part of the Appian Way, leading south from Romq, into Campania, with only a thin skin of modem concrete laid over the ancient stone pavement laid down nearly 200 years before Christ. There is romance, too, in the anc­ ient Roman roads of England and France. From 55 B.C. on, the Rom­ ans were building paved roads to tie their far-flung empire together. Wat- ling Street, the most famous of the ancient British Roman roads, is still a main highway, and many miles of its first foundations are still as solid as when Caesar's legions* built” them. • • • AUTOMOBILES . . engineering Probably more highly-trained en- gineering^lent is engaged in plan­ ning and building motor roads to-day than in any other single field. The combination of speed and safety is not impossible. European countries where modem highways have been built have practically no legal speed limit. But they have separate traffic lanes and no cross traffic. In the thickly-settled parte of the country, an approach to the ideal road conditions is being made. There still remains much to be done. If all the taxes paid by motorists on gaso­ line and for licenses were applied to modem highway building we would soon have a perfect road system. Seven states so far have adopted con­ stitutional amendments prohibiting the diversion of such taxes to other purposes. TOMORROW . . . dreanrt I have just had a letter from Charles M. Upham director of the American Road Builders’ Associa­ tion, holding its convention at the San Francisco World’s Fair.

Notwithstanding the unfavorable ueather conditions, the Sacred Heart Hall was filled to capacity on Friday evening March 17th for the annual St. Patrick’s entertainment. The opening number given by St. Joseph’s orchestra, conducted by "Miss Irene Story, consisted of a well-rendered arrangement of appealing Irish airs, which invariably renew in the Irish heart that love of country almost unknown to any other race. At inter­ vals through the evening these tune­ ful selections formed a delightful and most enjoyable variety in the program. A real Irish comedy, in ’’You Can’t Beat the Irish”, was given by the young people, who, in every sense of the word, proved the truth of the title role by actual demonstration. The story represents an Irish fam- i ily, consisting of a widowed mother, the part played by Marjorie Haffey, with two sons, Tommy and Danny Malone, (Douglas Copeland and Tommy Comiskey), and a daughter, Peggy, (Mary Foster), each one showing marked adaptability for the part assigned. The mother’s part en­ tailed much activity, and throughout was clearly evinced the parental authority mingled with that typical Irish affection which establishes the happy home life. The younger son, Danny (an embryo poet), was ever a source of loving anxiety to his indulgent mother, while the daugh­ ter, Peggy’, (Mary Foster), really lived in the clouds, so esthetic were her ambitions. But the elder sort, Tommy, (Douglas Copeland) a se­ date young man was really the head of the family. Other members of the cast were: Stanley Shannon, a policeman, (Cap­ tain Dooley); Steve O’Hara (James Copeland), a rollicking admirer of the arrogant Peggy, (Mary+'oster); Mrs. Moriarity, (Margaret Cope- , land), a neighborhood gossip; Ellen I Carston, (Bernadette Tallant); El­ len Murphy, (Dorothy Ring); Anna Ravoli, (Rita -Hogg), and Armand Ravel, (Fred Maurice), a foppish Frenchman attentive to Peggy, all did their parts in so finished a man­ ner as to elicit continuous outbursts of applause. The excellent presen­ tation of the play was undoubtedly the result of most painstaking train­ ing, for throughout the whole even­ ing never was there a dull moment. Between acts, a humorous skit, "Is it raining?" affording much amusement was cleverly done by Doris O'Meara and Dennis Howe. “That Irish Mother of Mine,” was beautifully rendered by Margaret Copeland, whose sweet young voice is ever heard with much acclaim. One of the most enjoyable num­ bers of the evening was the song “Peggy O’Neill’’ and dance by little Billy’ Warden, pupfl of Miss Jean Pearsall, whose Irish costume with top hat gave added attraction to his performance. The success of the entertainment was, due, in great measure, to the careful training by Rev. A. Scalisi, under whose direction the ptey was presented1.

Some Long Walks Housewives walk more than 3,000 miles a year, or practically across the continent, according to a paper lead recently by the director of re­ search of the National Association of Chiropodists. The average distance walked in a day is 18,098 steps, or seven and seven-eights miles. A schoolgirl averages eleven and a half miles a day, and a boy, fifteen miles. A farmer plowing averages] twenty-five miles a, day, and the av-i crage woman shhppej* covers about; eight and, one-'third rnfles. A golfer averages eight and a half miles playing eighteen holes, a dancer a mile in one act, and a chorus girl four and a half miles a day. "Here, boy," said a fussy man to a sleepy-looking lad who was lounging at the entrance to a large boarding house, “where does Mr Smythe live?” "I’ll show you, sir,” said the lad, and he started to climb the stairs. Up six flights he went, with the visit­ or following breathlessly. Finally he paused at an open door. “There is where Mr! Smythe lives,” he announced. “He doesn’t seem to be home,” re­ marked the visitor, peering into the room. SPECIAL! HAND PICKED WHITEBEANS -SPECIAL! KRAFT VELVEETAW>niLlL91L PPILMAIIENNTOOtSPECIAL!

She beheld a drip- ning crowd of children.“Buddie Gay! What are you doing?You naughty, naughty boy!” Betty seized Bud’s arm and jerkedhim back from the sink, but somesubconscious reaction compelled him to keep his hold on the dishpan whichhe had. been tn ing to right, and whenBettv removed him from the sink the dishpan with its remaining dirty watercame along, and deluged Betty who tad just changed her kitchen dressfor the pretty little house dress Mar­jorie had given her that morning. She had been upstairs getting into ar-eay to meet the doctor when she heard the tumult downstairs.Bettv looked down at herself in hor­ror arid gasped, the more so as themture of the element that was dousedover her was gradually revealed bydregs of dirt in the dishpan. ' Then suddenly Betty looked upland saw the doctor standing in the Idoorway with the most comical look;of amusement and pity on his face ’that a man could wear, and all at;once Betty knew that she too was .'crying! The utmost humiliation-that life could bring had descended (upon her. The handsome young.doctor had seen her like .this, wet •pnd dirty and angry!1 And all limp and dirty as she was speaking to her soul through the lips of this young man. She wasfilled with awe. Her heart throbbeda response as though she wanted to answer a high sweet call she had heard for the first time."You have shown me so manythings." she said to him afterward as they stood together at the doora moment, waiting for Ted togather up the hymn books and straighten the extra chairs for thenight service. "Things I never knew could be! I never knew the Biblewas a book like that!” He gave her a startled look."Oh. didn’t you? I'm glad Ihelped,” he smiled. "I hope you'llcome again."“Oh, I will!” she said fervently. “What you have said seems to besomething I’ve been searching for a long time.”His face lit up with a kind of glory light.“Oh. I am glad!” he said quietly.Then came Ted with his shy smile of adoration."I wish I could run you home in my car, Ted," said the youngpreacher wistfully, “but I have a funeral in half an hour, and justbarely time to-get to it. Sqrry, I’denjoy taking you." He included Marjorie in his smile."Oh. that’s all right, Mr. Reaver," said Ted shiningly. "I’m going totake my sister over to see our old place. She’s never seen it, youknow.”And then as the minister lookedat her inquiringly. Ted explained:"You know shes been away a long time. She’s never seen it.”“Oh." said the minister looking at come this way to find that sign gone, but it staysH , . ,“It's lovely!" said Marjorie, tak­ing in the tall elm trees that wereplaced just right to make a pictureof the house. The long slope ofsnowy lawn, the shrubbery and hem­ lock trees heavy with their burdenof snow making a delightful screeufrom the street, all added to the pic­ ture.Ted led her around to the back and opened a loose shutter to lether look into the long low livingroom with its great fireplace, flanked on either side by bookcases reachingto the ceiling, and her enthusiasm for the house mounted till it equaledthe boy's own.As they turned away from thegate at last Marjorie took note ofthe sign board and made a mental memorandum of the name of thereal estate agent.Could she possibly make some ar- - rangement with the people who hadtaken it over whereby they would transfer it back to her father's name,clear, so that she could hand himthe deed of it without any obliga­ tions for him to pay whatever? How she would love to give it to himfor Christmas! Could a thing likethat be done so quickly? There was still almost a week to Christmas!So she carried on an undercurrent. of thought while Ted rambled on,giving now and then a bit of in­ formation about the house that fit­ted right in with her thoughts. “Suppose, Ted.” she said finally,“that tomorrow morning some greatman should send for you and tellyou that he had been watching youand he liked the way you were do­ ing, and he had a fine position readyfor you at. say, ten thousand or so a year, and he would give you someof it in advance if you wanted it. Would you think you were great ifyou decided to use that money foryour home and parents instead of buying yourself a Rolls-Royce?"Ted grinned. ’’Fat chance!" he said.“Of course.” smiled Marjorie, “but if you had it I think I know youwell enough already to know that you would just delight to turn inevery penny you could to the familytreasury and make them all com­ fortable before you thought a thingabout any luxuries for- yourself.” "Sure thing!” said Ted with shin­ing eyes.“And if some unheard-of relative ,ahe sank down into kitchen chairand burst into real weeping. If she could have seen the doc­tor’s face a^tliat moment she wouldhave been surprised. The comical look of amusement vanished utterlyand a look of utter tenderness and sympathy came into his eyes. Inone motion he set down his medi­ cine case on a chair in the hall be­hind him and strode over to Betty.“Poor child!” he said. "You’ve been working too hard. We'll haveyou down in bed the next thing if you don’t look out Here!” he saidaeizing upon a towel that hung on the rack above the sink. The doctor wet the end of thetowel and came over to Betty, lift­ing her face very gently and wipingoff the tears with the wet towel. "There!” he said cheerfully.“You’ll feel better now. Nothing like cool water to brace one up."Suddenly Betty looked up and laughed. Laughed with the tearsstreaming down her cheeks. The doctor came over to heragain, taking a clean handkerchiefout of his pocket, and lifting her chin with hand gently wipedthe tears a iffy. Betty stopped laughing and herface held something almost like awe.The doctor smiled indulgently ashe hurried upstairs. Betty smiled to herself and wondered if all doc­tors were so cheerful and comfort­ ing. It was probably just becausebe was a doctor that he had been so nice to her. But it thrilled herto think of his wiping her tears, of the touch of his smooth fingers lift­ing her chin so gently. It was thatsense of being cared for that touched her, brought the tears to her eyes.“Fool!" she told herself bitterly. “It didn’t mean a thing! He wasjust kindly and impersonal! He’s probably in love with some charm­rug nurse, or maybe married to anheiress. Any good man might have done just what he did and thinknothing of it He was just being kind and helping me out of a mess."She stared after him wistfully as hewent out to his car and drove away,and then she hurried upstairs to takeoff the pretty dress. Marjorie sitting in the pretty lit­tle old stone church of a hundred years ago, and listening to theyoung- preacher making salvationplainer than she had ever heard it before, was happier than she hadever been in church before. It was as if a strong sea breezewere blowing through the little audience room, waking up and re­freshing every mind to keener in­ telligence. As if a holy kind of glory■ pervaded the place. She heard onewoman explaining to another: “Why, 1% Holy Spirit is herd!"Then, too, the staging here seemed to ‘have a different soundfrom that in ordinary churches.

Kitching AddressedClub on Subject, “It CameTo Pa„.’fWednesday evening last, at the Ingersoll Inn, the local Y’s Men’s Club heard an inspiring talk by Carl H. Kitching, Science Master at the Woodstock Collegiate Institute, who spoke on the subject, “It Came To Pass.” President Max Poole occupied the chair and the speaker was introdu­ ced by Y’s Man, Ross B. Bigham. Mr. Kitching, in his address, dir­ ected his remarks to the members and appealed for a better under­ standing among the young men of the country. The speaker explained at the out­ set the feeling of every young boy who longs for the day when he will reach his maturity and be a man. for then comes his independence. The boy then would not have to ask his dad for a quarter now and then, and would not have to explain why he wanted it. The speaker said the boy often feels that at his maturity, he will also be able to stay out late at night without having to be cross- examined upon arriving home. "But too soon it came to pass,” said the speaker, "that as the years come and go, the trivial problems of boyhood fade into insignificance and he becomes more concerned with the problem of earning a living and con­ tributing his bit to the advance of civilization.” Mr. Kitching made reference to the rapid advances science had made in every field since the turn of the century, with the car and concrete highways replacing the horse and buggy and dirt roads. Reference was made to the advent of the telephone, then hailed as a miracle, but soon to be followed again by the radio and the radio telephone which today reach around the world. Reference was made also to the wonderful "strides made in the field of aircraft and shipbuilding and their greatest .safety features for navigation. The remarkable achieve­ ments of modern medicine, curing diseases that but a few years ago were incurable also came in for pass­ ing attention from the speaker. “But,” said Mr. Kitchbn, "as won­ derful as all these things are that man has created, if used wrongly, can destroy man himself. For ex­ ample, chlorine gas has made typhoid fever almost a rare disease, but cat: destroy whole cities if used im­ properly. Nobel, the inventor of ex­ plosives, without which some of our greatest railways and mines would never have been possible, died a wretched man when he saw that he had given men the power to destroy each other more readily, and left his vast fortune to be divided among those who could do the most for the cause of peace. “Since the year 1900 there have been more inventions for the bet­ terment of mankind than in the pre­ ceding 3000 years, and yet, we have seen three .wars, countless crises seen three wars coutless crises and have Europe today boiling with un­ rest, with three dictators, represent­ ing communism, nazisim and fascism, all eager for power at any cost.” The speaker held that what the world most needs today was a sanity test rather than the intelligence test, lie cautioned every m.an to keep his head, arid to obey the laws of his faith. He stated that history clearly indicted that a Godless nation can­ not endure. The speaker urged too the importance of each one guarding his own birthright as a British sub­ ject and as a Canadian citizeq. The thanks of the gathering were expressed to Mr. Kitching, by Y’f Man, Lloyd Denby, Y’s Man Dr. J. Reginald Rogers, chairman of the activities committee, reported that the recent dance held by /'the clubs was a success, and moved a vote of thanks to the fol­ lowing merchants and businessmen, who kindly helped make the affair the success it was: National Fertil­ izers Limited, W. A. C. Forman, Zur- brigg’s Bakery, Ingersoll Dairy, Pres­ ton T. Walker and Bigham’s Dairy. The club also expressed its thanks to Bill Hawkins and Scott Sheppard, who were responsible for the decor­ ations of the hall. F. P. Leake was also thanked for the beautiful hand- carved gavel presented to the club. Two new members were received at the meeting, these being Louis J. Martin and Gordon Pittock. The ini­ tiation ceremony was conducted by Y’s Man Dr. Jack.W. Rowsom.

The Proposed Increase of 33/^% in GASOLINE TAXATION IT IS proposed by the Government of the Province of Ontario to increase the tax on gasoline from six cents to eight cents per gallon. This increase, if made effective, means that the average motorist, driving 10,000 miles in a year and getting 18 miles to the gallon out of his car will pay over $10 ad­ ditional to the gasoline tax of $33.33 which he is now paying. Figure it out cents to eight cents a gallon means this: for vourself.

Out of 582.212 passenger car registrations in Ontario in 1938 but 18,561 were new cars. Yet the automobile owner is the most heavily taxed man in the community. 4n 1936 he was already contributing 30% of tlje provincial revenue.

Since the motorist already bears 30% of the taxation burden of the Province, it is manifestly unfair to increase the burden.

There is not available from official Government sources Expenditure on Roads, Interest and Sinking Fund charges, etc. subsequent to 1936. It is now proposed to secure an additional $6,000,000 from the motorists of the Province through an increase in the gasoline tax from six to eight cents per gallon. While the motorist, as a citizen, has been willing to assist the Government in problems of administration, a limit must be set to the burden imposed upon him. If you, as a car owner, are content to assume the- added burden represented by a 2-cent increase in the gasoline tax, there is nothing you need do. Your silence will be interpreted as consent. If you are not content, and wish to place yourself on record to that effect in the only quarter where your objection will carry weight, caff at your regular service station, whether it be a B-A station or any other, and ask for a card whicir has been distributed for your convenience. Just sign it, fill in your address, and leave it with the station attendant. Issued as a service to the Motorists of Ontario by the British American Oil Company Limited Hon. P. M.
