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.

EVENING GUILD OFST. 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

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. AUGH1NBAUGH, M.D.
TOBACCO
Primitive men smoked long before the American
Indian took to using tobacco. 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.

There are things to talk over when a new Ford V-8 moves into
the neighbourhood. There’s always the Ford V-8 engine. It’s still
the biggest engine value in a low-price car. There is talk about
how good-looking the new Ford is. And motorists are saying you
know you’re riding in a fine car, too, with that extra seat comfort
and plenty of room for the family tq spread out and relax.
Another important item is the new, powerful hydraulic brakes.

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.

The annual checker tournament
of the Oxford Checker Club was held
at the New Commercial Hotel, Wood-

terest and enthusiasm on the part
of those taking part. There were
22 payers entered in the contest
and these were in two classes, Class
A and Class B. There were also a
number of visitors from points out
side the county who played among
themselves. Included among the vis
itors was the Dominion champion,
William Allen, London, who took on
several players at one time, winning
all the the games with the exception
of one which was a draw'.
Winners of Class A were as fol

“What I ask for,” said Mrs. Wilks,
the woman’s champion, explaining
her views, “is equality, Mr. Jones. I
don’t ask for special privileges; but
what I do ask is that you, as a man,
should treat me exactly as you would
another man. Do you see?”
“I see,” murmured Jones.
“So, instead of talking small talk
and teasing me like a helpless thing
that has to be protected, and alL-that
rot, assume the attitude towards me

A large number enjoyed the splen
did program in Trinity United

Thursday evening. The program was
presented under the auspices of
group three of the Women’s Asso
ciation, and featured a debate the
subject of which was “Resolved that
women’s influence over- man has
been deplorable rather than ador
able,” and the debaters were W. R.
Marshall and F. E. Johnston for the
-affirmative and R. C. Brogden and
W. L. Thurtcll for the negative. The

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.

Whvn the doctor calls to
Meantime back in Aster StreetBetty was having a time of her own.A united howl arose. ,Betty came flying, down stairs, hercyvs flashing fire! 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. The

REED’S FURRIERS
529 Dundas St.WOODSTOCK
“Always buy fur* from your furrier.”
WOODSTOCK TEACHERY’s MEN’S SPEAKERCarl H. 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

Y’s Man Dr. J. Reginald Rogers,

in late years, with his son, Earl M.
Clark and grandsons assisting.

public office, nor did he belong to
any lodges or societies. He was al
ways willing to lend support to any
cause for the betterment of the coni-

there was a large number of friends
in attendance, Interment was made in

and I am hoping this constituency
will return me.”
"Some hopes you’ve got, mister,”
she said sadly. "Although I ain't
lived 'ere long, I can tell you the
people here never return anything!”

How To Beautify
Home Surroundings
The home should be regarded as
the first centre of beauty. With
beautiful surroundings a home is not
only a delight to those intimately
connected with it but also to those
who travel the adjacent roads and
•byways. For those who have a desire
to make their home surroundings a
joy to themselves and to everybody
who may see it, the .booklet “Beauti
fying the Home Grounds of Canada,"
will prove a helpful and encouraging
document. A limited number is avail
able from the Canadian Horticultural
Council, 114 Welington Street, Ot
tawa, at a nominal price of 10 cents.
The booklet has chapters on land
scape architecture, how to make a
lawn, the flower garden, furniture,
rock gardens, pools, the kind of
shrubs, plants, and trees that may be
grown in the various parts of the
Dominion, with plans and illustra
tions. The time of the year is ap
proaching when the best of all pur
suits—gardening—will be in full
swing.

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:

The average car owner is not a rich man. lie does not drive a new car. 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. Here
are the figures for 1936 and 1937. the latest official figures from the Government.

* This figure is ba-ed upon the percentage increa-e in ga-o!ine

t Coupled with license fees in 1936, this TAX represents 30%
of the Provincial Revenue.
Since the motorist already bears 30% of the taxation burden of the Province, it is manifestly unfair to
increase the burden.

$4,000,000.
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.
