Oxford County CouncilApprove* ScholarshipAt Ontario Agricultural College ToValue of >100.00. School ForestPlot* in County Alio Supported.Establishment of an Oxford Coun­ ty Scholarship to the 0. A. C. was unanimously approved at the closing session of the March meeting of the County Council last week. The rec­ ommendation of the council’s agricul­ ture committee calls for an annual scholarship valued at >100 to be awarded by a committee composed of the warden, the chairman of the agri­ culture committee and county agri­ culture department representative . "to encourage interest in stock judg- | ing work, the prize being awarded to the senior boy in the county whose work is most outstanding in coaching junior boys in stock and seed judg­ ing.’’ The council also approved of a plan to foster school forest plots throughout Oxford which would be financed 50 per cent by the county, 25 per cent by the township and 25 per cent, by the school section, the maximum grant available to one school section from the county being >50. The council is recommending the establishment of at least one such plot in each township and has made provision to supply trees, red or Scotch pine, to every rural school pupil in the county. George Law Victim of Hard Luck Eight of the 1G Amateur boxing bouts ended in knockouts at South­ western Ontario zone championship elimination tournament held at the London Armories on Saturday night. Three were of the clean-cut variety and the remaining five were in the technical category. Over 1,500 spec­ tators, the largest crowd in the his­ tory of the branch, witnessed a pro­ gram which was crammed with act­ ion. Many boxing fans from Ingersoll attended the show. George Law was Ingersoll’s only entry and he was a victim of hard luck. The Sports Edi­ tor af the London Free Press had the following to say on Law's elimin­ ation: “George Law, of Ingersoll, was a victim of hard lucfc in the semi-finals of the welterweight class, when he was disqualified in the third round and Ernie Baker, London, was de­ clared the victor. Baker went on to knock out Roy Martell^of Sarnia, in one minute and 20 seconds, of the opening round of the finals. Referee Percy Hunt ruled that Law refused to break clean after he was warned three times. Law had Baker down for the count of eight in the third round and it looked as if Law could win easily. The fans jeered the referee for his decision and Announcer Harry Rockey was unable to make an an­ nouncement for several minutes ow­ ing to the chorus of jeers. Presbyterian Girls’ Guild Met At The Church The regular meeting of the Girls’ Guild of St. Paul’s Presbyterian Church was held in the church par­ lors on Thursday evening.

LONDON MINISTER KIWANIS SPEAKER “The Tragedy of Nothing­ ness,” Subject of Address By Rev. Duncan McTavish. Members of the Ingersoll Kiwanis Club had as the guest speaker for their regular meeting on Thursday evening last, at the Ingersoll Inn, Rev. Duncan McTavish, minister of Calvary United Church, London. President Kiwanian Dr. Cecil A. Os­ born was in charge of the meeting and Kiwanian Rev. Charles D. Daniel introduced the speaker. The subject of Rev. Mr. McTav- ish’s address was “The Tragedy of Nothingness.’’ In opening his remarks the speaker referred to the people who had lost their identity in one way or another often through a combination of their own loss of memory and a co-incidental set of circumstances by reason of which no one could be contacted •who knew them. The speaker said such cases come to light from time to time, and are found even to be real stumbling blocks .in’court rooms as was one Chicago case referred to when a case was dismissed^Eecause no one ans­ wered to the name of the charged man and no one was present who knew him or even who could prove that he ever existed. ,Again there was difficulty en­ countered from time to time in iden­ tifying persons who meet violent deaths, the speaker explained. He told of a case of the young farm hand whom he had spoken to on Tuesday, and who, in a new district where he had gone for employment, was killed .by a train on Frida- The speaker said he was called in to iden­ tify the remains and said he had full sympathy with those who in such cases are called upon to do similar tasks. After numerous such references, .Mr. McTavish referred more directly to the tragedy of nothingness as applied in other channels. He re­ ferred to the great exploits of Nap­ oleon and of his conquests up to the period -where he began to “take in too much territory like another gentleman of the present day”, and at which time he started upon his path of defeat and his way to obliv­ ion. The speaker said there was also the “Comedy of Nothingness,” ex­ plaining that someone had once said that the world was “just a big glass jar full of nuts, and that, when shaken, some of the biggest nuts come to the top while others shake down to the bottom.’’ He held, how­ ever, that he did not know of anyone •who had not, in some way, some good about him despite some of the famed pungent sayings of great men regarding certain individuals.* “In view of all the, organizations and clubs of the present day, I can- (Continued on page 8) NJJ-WAY SAVES YOU MONEY. .

The increase since 1931 is onlyabout 700,000 or less than 7 per cent. That com­pares unfavorably with the rapid advanee at the be­ginning of the century when from 1901 to 1911 therewas a 34 per cent increase. Not all of those who camein the first decade stayed in Canada.However, there is time yet before the next Censusof 1941 to experience a great change and present in­ dications are that such a change is taking place. Of the two leading factors in population growth, births and immigration, the greater of these is births. Both have fallen off appreciably since the depression struck the country. In 1935, only 11,000 new citizens came to Canada. That was a smaller number than in any other year since 1860. In the early 80's there were over a 100,000 in some years. In the middle of the first decade of this century there were over 200,- 000, while in 1913 there were over 400,000. Looking over the immigration statistics, a striking and similar experience is observed. It is that after periods of prosperity, whether here or abroad, the newcomers rush to Canada in Great numbers and, when adversity is upon us and the rest of the world, the immigration drops off. In 1929, after conditions had been excellent for several years, 165,000 came to Canada to live, but in the fall of that year the industrial crisis came, with the result that by 1931 the immijrration had declined to 27,000. Better times have arrived and last year there was a slight advance in the immigration over 1935. This year, so far, that slight advance has been maintained. True, it isn't much but it’s a sign of the times and an example of history repeating itself. Keeping in mind that large population increase fol­ lows periods of prosperity in new* countries such as Canada we find it exemplified very noticeably in the Western Provinces. The increase between 1921 and 192Gyvas small, following the depression after the War,” but between 1926 and 1931, when times were exceptionally good, the increase was very large. Al­ berta's increase between 1921 and 1926 was hardly worth mentioning, while Saskatchewan, between 1931 and 1936 moved up only about 9,000. The slow growth in Canada's population in recent years is due moreover to the decline in the number of births. Rapidly declining birth' rates have been characteristic of English-speaking countries and most countries of Western Europe during the post-war period. England has been worrying over it. Canada has been no exception to the rule. In the years 1920, 1921 and 1922 the number of live births in ’Panada exceeded 250,000. In the year 1936, in spite of the increase in the population in the meantime, the number was only about 220,000. The Canadian birthrate which was nearly 30 per thousand of the population in 1921 had fallen to 20 per thous­ and in 1936. T HE D O CT O RTelia The Storyby W. E. AUGHlriBAUGH, M.D.STATISTICSIt will no doubt surprise my readers to learn thatduring the year, one person out of every sixteenspends some portion of his or her time in a hospital.We have 6,437 hospitals. This of course does notinclude private hospitals and sanatoriums where only patients who can pay for their attention are taken. In the public hospitals over 7,000,000 patients are treated each year. The greatest number of cases were brought to these hospitals for surgical treatment and of these the majority were taken in as the result of accidents, chiefly caused by automobiles. By strict observation of the safety rules and regulations for traffic and by­ using ordinary common sense in everyday life, sur­ gical cases in the United States, it is conservatively estimated, could easily be reduced 33%. It is safe to say that fully 20% to 30% of the cases of illness which resulted in sending people to the hospitals could have been prevented by the use of ordinary intelligence. Take, for example, the problem of the common cold. In an organization employing 3,000 people more than 25% were away from work anywhere from one to fifteen days, due to failure to recognize and jfroperly treat the symptoms, and because they did not call on their doctors earlier. Our annual cold bill is more than 3500,000,000. The average family spends each year $165.00 for motor cars and their upkeep; $67.00 for tobacco; $37.00 for candy; $34.00 for ice cream, soda fountain drinks and chewing gum; $5.00 for radio repairs, and that same family pays the doqtor only $24.00 a year, and that only when they are sick. It is estimated that $50.00 a year spent with your family doctor would keep you well and reduce the sickness in this country almost 50%. The thing for you to do is to consult your doctor when you feel the least indisposed and not to wait until disease has got a strangle hold on you. LOOKING BACK 23 YEARS From the Files of The Oxford Tribune, Ingersoll, Canada, Thursday, March 30th, 1916 The young men of Ingersoll and vicinity are doing their duty for the Empire, 246 have already joined the. 168th. An Educational Need A common criticism of our schools is that they do not teach pufiils to write, read and speak the English language correctly. Insofar as that is true, it is partly due to the fact so many children come from homes where the correct use of words is not understood or observed, and they find it difficult to learn a new way of speaking. Children are especially sensitive to the accusation of being “stuck up’’ with which they are often met by their familiar out-of-school associates when they pro­ nounce* words differently from the common usage of their environments, or use the correct word among people who con^ft-ntly use the wrong word. Now the same charge is being made against great universities, that they do not turn out graduates pro­ ficient enough to read and write their mother-tongue correctly. This is a serious matter, especially for those who have to make their own way in the world. As between two candidates for a job or for promotion, the choice will always go to the one who speaks better English, all else being equal. ■' Too many youngsters of both sexes get through their school years still addicted to such misuses of language as the classic example: “If I had of knew what I’d ought to havfe- knowed I’d never of did what I done.’’ The early schools gave first attention to the “Three R’s—Reading, ’Riling and ’Rithmetic.” The school­ masters of those older days recognized that a child who went forth into the world solidly grounded in those elements of educai ion carried' with him the keys with which to unlock’every-other door of know­ ledge through which he might seek to enter. Two widespread influences are at work today to improve the language of the masses of the-.people. They are the talking pictures and the radio. But any lasting knowledge of the elements of education must begin in the lowest, grades of the schools. Applications are asked for the position of Janitor for the Collegiate Institute and Ward School, duties to commence April 1st. > -----Mrs. J. C.

Speeches were made by J. R. Shaw, Dr. Welford, T. A. Fotman and Peter MacDonald. Socks formed a fine display in the window of the Thos. Waterhouse Co. store. These were made in the local plant on Charles street cast and are to be given to the Ingersoll men of the 71st'and 168th Battalion. Bright Outlook for Canada Mhen Roger W. Babson, the noted economist and dirtctOr of the Babson Institute in Wellesley, Mass., ‘ jdcdlares (hat Canada has “the brightest future of any nation in the wgpfd” is it time for Canadians to banish * pessimism and assume an attitude of confidence and courage-that will ‘stimulate the entire economic struct­ ure of the Dominion. “Invest in Canada.’’ said Mr. Babson. “Canada’s bullish outlook should mean some good jnvestmejrNnpportunities in the securities of Can­ adian bankufg, utility, and industrial concerns.” Mr. Babson bases his optimistic outlook partly on the knowic'jlge and experience which he gained in atrip to Britain' last fall. As a resultjjf his observa­ tions there he believes that the perilous\onditions in Europe will compel Britain more and more •'to have a source off supplies that will be practically immune from bombing attacks. His coirunents proved to be well founded by the fact that already Britain has let contracts in Canada for airplanes nd munitions. The British Empire was built up by sea power, defended by sea power, and it will be maintained in the future largely by sea power and aircraft.

TODAY andTOMORROWby Frank Barker StockbridgeRUBBER ... playthingIt is hard for anyone living todayto imaginfe a world without rubber.But it is only 100 years since CharlesGoodyear discovered the process ofvulcanization, which converted rub­ber from a plaything into a usefulcommodity.The Spanish conquerors of Mexicofound the Aztecs playing games withballs of a sticky substance whichbounced. They took some of it backto Europe, where it was found to beuseful for erasing pencil marks,hence the English name “rubber.”But until Goodyear, in 1839, found that by heating rubber with sulphur it lost its stickiness but kept its bounce, it had no commercial value. The enormous industries that have been founded on rubber are so familiar that most folk think they have always existed. We could have no motor cars without rubber tires. Now a new kind of “sponge’ rubber has been developed to use for seat­ cushions and mattresses. Half a dozen kinds of artificial lubber have been produced in the past few years. Some are better for most purposes than natural tubber. All of them will cost more, but as their use grows the chances are the price will come down. There is no fear of a rubber shortage now, any­ way.* * * MINERALS .... recovery Without iron, coal, copper, tin and the rest of the metals and minerals, the world we live in today would be impossible. The question of how long the supply of minerals stored ''in the earth will last has worried many thinkers who look ahead to the world of the future. Inventors have been working for years on the problem of recovering more of the useful contents of min­ eral ores, anti- the latest process promises to extend the life of exist­ ing coal and iron unines, a$ well as ethers, a hundred years or more than had been expected. The deeper you have to dig for minerals, the more they cost. The cheapest iron ore in the world is scraped with steam shovels from the surface of the Mesaba range in Min­ nesota. Much of the ore has been left because it didn’t pay to extract the iron from it. The same is true of the Pennsylvania Anthracite coal mines. Now a new and cheap process has be.en developed which will recover • practically 1000 per cent of the min­ eral content of all kinds of orcs, so that it will be a long time before it is necessary to dig any deeper. The waste-piles around the old mines be­ come as valuable as the new ore. That is progress. W IR E S ................................channel* About the time 1 was born a ^oung telegraph operator named Thomas A. Edison leaped into fame and fortune by inventing a method of transmitting two telegrams at once ’ on a single wire. It cut the cost of setting up telegraph lines in half. Shortly the number of messages which could be sent at one time mul­ tiplied many times. The telephone came in, and after a lot of experi­ menting it was found that telegrams and telephone conversations could be carried at the same time on the same wire without interference. The larg­ est telegraph cofnpany has not strung any new.wires for years, leasing "channels” on telephone wires as its business grows, A few weeks ago the newest in­ vention in wire communication was put into service on an experimental line between New York and Phila­ delphia. The “coaxial cable,” about as big as a broom-handle, carries 480 telejflyme channels, which can be used also for transmitting photo­ graphs or television broadcasts.* • • .M A PS ...................................accuracy There has never been made an accurate set of maps of the whole United States. Practically all the maps in use have been made by sur­ veyors working at ground level, and they do not show roads, rivers, mountains and other physical fea­ tures accurately. Most of them do not even show accurate boundaries of states, coun­ ties and towns. The Coast and Geodetic Survey has begun to map the whole coun­ try by photographing, it from air­ planes. Amazing discoveries have been made. Rivers flow in quite dif­ ferent courses from the old maps, The contours of hills and mountains 'are made clear for thy first time. It will cost $200,000,000 to map the whole nation, but it will be worth it. FLYING . • • ‘ . intellifen*18 Some members of the U. S. (Con­ gress recently took occasion to crit­ icize the rule of the Army and Navy air services that young men cannotbe admitted as students in the mili­tary aviation schools unless theyhad at least two years of col­lege or university training. “Whathave Latin and Greek got to do withlearning to fly?” asked one sarcasticmember.They haven’t anything to do withit but the mental capacity which en­ables a boy to get through his col­lege courses has a lot to do withflying. Half or more of the studentsin the Army and Navy flying schoolsare dropped because they haven’tlearned to think clearly and fast andto master the intricacies of modernaviation.There is, I believe no occupationwhich calls for such high intelligenceand trained mentality as that of themodern air pilot. The day is past, long ago, when flying was something nny good mechanic could “pick up.” It is a highly skilled profession and becoming more difficult to mas­ ter every day, as flying speeds in­ crease and number of instruments which the flyer has to use increases. We can build airplanes a lot faster than we can train young men to op­ erate them. HOUSE and HOME — by Mary E.

R. Jone*, Mgr., Ingersoll Br. L.R.Lloyd, Mgr. Woodstock Br. There was a time when brides bought their trousseau lingerie by the dozens—dozens of petticoats of different lengths and dozens of other things that were considered very necessary fifty years ago. The roomy old bureaus and chests of drawers bear mute testimony to the vast amount of storage space needed for milady’s wardrobe and the enormous clothes-shoots built in the houses of the period prove that bulky garments made the family wash something to reckon with every Monday morning. Today, fine lingerie is washed out immediately after each wearing. Brides prefer to have only the sets needed for their various activities— sport, daytime and evening wear. There are several good reasons for this simplified wardrobe besides the saving in expense. Clothing worn next to the skin is easier to wash immediately after wearing than after several days have elapsed. More than this, it takes considerably more effort to wash a week’s supply, than a set at a time. Another reason for immediate laundering is the fact that it adds immeasurably to the life of stockings and dainty underwear. Silks, rayons, woollens and combinations of these fabrics are known to last much long­ er if dirt and perspiration are re­ moved before they have a chance to “set” in the material. . Although you, may dejight in soft, subdued lights rather than bright ones, don’t pay for current you aren’t using by leaving a film of dust on the electric light bulbs. You’ll really have considerably more light by keeping the bu|bs and reflecting sur­ faces spic-and-span. Surveys and statistics show that a clean bulb gives from 25 to 40 per­ cent more illumination than a dirty one. In other words, a 75 watt lamp if kept perfectly dean is practically the equivalent of a dusty 100 watt lamp. Soap and water will keep your bulbs immaculate. Remove bulbs from sockets, wash with warm soapy water and wipe dry with a clean soft cloth. Changes of all kinds that the gar­ dener is contemplating where the moving plants, sod, hedges and per­ ennials is involved, must be made Just as soon as the frost is out of the ground. This also applies to garden •walks, which if changed or repaired in early spring, settle by summer. 'WAKE UP AND LIVE” I — By Dorothea Brande — With the time and energy we spend in making failure a certainty we might have certain success. A nonsensical paradox? No; for­ tunately it is a sober, literal truth, one which holds a great deal of promise. Failure indicates that energy has been poured into the wrong channel. It takes energy to fail. Now this is something which we seldom see at once. Because we commonly think of failure as the conventional opposite of success, we continue to make false antitheses of the qualities which attend success and failure. Success is bracing, active, alert; so the typical attitude of fail­ ure, we believe, must be lethargy, in­ ertia, a supine position. True enough; but that docs not mean that no en­ ergy is being used. * When failure comes about through devoting precious hours to time-kill­ ing pursuits, we can all see that en- eigy is being diverted from its proper channel. But there are ways of killing time which do not look like dissipation. They can seem, on the contrary, like conscientious and dutiful hard work, they often draw praise and approval from onlookers, and arouse a sense of complacency in us. It is only by looking more closely, by discovering that this Work gets us nowhere, that it both tires us and leaves us unsatisfied that we see here again energy is being devoted to the pursuit of failure. But why should this be so? Why, if, with the same energy we must use in any case, we might be succeed­ ing, do we sb seldom live the lives we hoped and planned to live? Why do we accomplish so little, and thwart ourselves senselessly? We know that those who succeed see the same sunsets, breathe the samb air, love and are loved no less than failures; and in addition they have something more: the knowledge that they have chdsen to move in the direction of life and growth instead of acquiescing in death and decay. Then why do we fail? Especially, why do we work hard at failure? ’ Because, beside being creatures subject to the Will to Live and. the Will to Power, we are driven by an­ other will, the Will to Fail, or Die. But the idea of another will, a counter-balancing will, the Will to Fail, the Will to Death, .is not sj readily accepted. Yet death is as much a fact of ex­ perience as birth and growth; and rf Nature prepares us for each new phase of life by closing off old de­ sires and opening new vistas, it does •not seem too difficult to think that we are, always, being slowly, gently icconciled to our eventual relinquish­ ment of all we hold dear as living creatures. And withdrawal from struggle, abandonment of effort, releasing of desire and ambition would be normal movements in an organism which was bLng gently wooed away from its preoccupation with life. ItHs for this reason that we are entitled to look upon the Will to Fail as a reality. Motorists Given Polite Reminder March 31 “Positively” Final Date For ■ Use of Last Year's Marker*. Ingersoll motorists driving thi-> week with 1938 markers should not be surprised if they arc stopped on the highway by a traffic officer and reminded that the old markers must be replaced by March 31. Provincial traffic officers here and throughout the Province have been instructed to speak to -motorists who are still using the old markers and to advise them that they must have the new licenser plates- if they wish to drive on April 1. March 31 is the “positively” final date, and after that time motorists will be prosecuted if they drive with 1938 licenses. The campaign will be undertaken in Town ahd County and on the high­ ways to "round up” any motorists who ignore the deadline. The first officer called a deckhand and said: “Go below and break up that poker game." The sailor was away for the better part of an hour.-When he returned the officer barked: “Did you break­ up that game?” “Yes, sir,” said the sailor. “What in thunder took you s« long?” demanded the officer. “Well, sir,” the sailor replied, “I Lad only three pence to start with.” Your Credit Priceless Gem Your credit is your good name, your key to business and social life. It is a priceless gem that costs you nothing. Yet it becomes worthless unless safeguarded by promptness in meeting obligations or trying to the best of your ability to make some satisfactory arrangement with those to whom you are indebted. By paying.your bills promptly you keep your credit record clean and conven­ iently available, for use in time of emergency or unanticipated occas­ ions. Because occasions are bound to arise when convenient channels . of financial help may make or break your career. Why not pause and take stock of the long-due obligations you may have toward merchants . They have helped you. A good many of them could do with some return of that good will at this time.

Lost Plant Food Must Be Replaced Use of Proper’y Selected Fertilizer* In Adequate Amounts Will Replace These Losses, Says Advisory Fer­ tilizer Board of Ontario. Even under the most approved practices of soil management inent- able losses of fertility occur through the sale of crops, animals-and animal products and in the storage and handling of manure, says the Advis­ ory Fertilizer Board of Ontario. Ultimately these losses* of plant food must be replaced if the pro­ ductively of the soil is to be main­ tained. The use of properly suletted fertilizers in adequate amounts will replace these losses. When analyses of fertilizers are recommended, as for example 2-12-6, these figures represent 2 per cent nitrogen; 12 per cent available phos­ phoric acid and six per cent potash. It should be understood that the following recommendations for cer­ ia). crops are general in character. It is possible to make specific recom­ mendations only when the type of soil and fertility are definitely known. The influence of proper fer­ tilizers on the catch of clover and grasses and the residual effects on succeeding crops may be as important as the effects on the crop to which fertilizers have been applied. The use of proper type of fertilizers also is substantial insurance against win­ ter killing of fall wheat and clovers. 'Fertilizers for cereal crops should be applied with a fertilizer drill. ♦ For oats,- barley, spring wheat, mixed grain and buckwheat to be grown on heavy soils a 2-12-6 fertil­ izer is recommended if following crops not jnanured or fertilized. On the other hand, following <yops that have been manured, or fertilized, or following clover a 0-12-6 fertilizer is recommended with application rate of 250 pounds to the acre. On lighter soils, following crops not manured a 2-12-10 fertilizer is best, but if following manured crops or clover. 0-12-10, at the*rate of 250 pounds per acre.—Ontario Dept, of Agriculture.

USES BOTH HANDSTO WRITELetter From a Man of 90He asks u« to excuse his writing.We do more than that—we congrat­ulate him on being able to write utall at his age, especially as he hasbeen suffering from rheumatism.This is what he says in his letter:—“Three years ago I was in bed forsix weeks wi h inflammatory rheuma­tism. Sine* that time I have beentaking Kruschen Salts, and have nothad another attack. But the com­ plaint left me with inflamed feet,and it hurt me to walk. My hand*were also somewhat stiff. I took Kru-schen every morning before break­fast, and shall continue to do so, be­cause I am sure they have kept me in good shape for three years. Excuse this writing as I am ninety years old, and use both hands to write.”— J.R.G. The pain and stiffness of rheuma­tism nre often caused by uric acid inthe muscles and joints. Kruschenhelps to dissolve and remove excess uric acid in a gentle way through the natural channels." Renewed health and vigour is the result. HOUSE and HOME • - by Mary E.

Horseradish is as springlike as the first dandelion and will add zest to almost any meat dish. Here’s a recipe for a delicious and unusual horseradish sauce. Apple and Horseradish Sauce One-half cup grated apple, 3-4 cup grated horseradish, 1 tablespoon glycerine, 1 teaspoon prepared mus­ tard, 1-2 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon sugar, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, 1 i cup whipping cream. Sprinkle glycerine over apple as soon as grated. This prevents it from turning dark. Mix thoroughly with horseradish. Add salt and sugar, lem­ on juice and mustard and mix well. Chill and fold into cream beaten until firm. Chill and serve. As soon as the weather permits you to work outdoors, finish up the pruning jobs. Grape vines should be pruned when they are not frozen. Cut out all canes in blackberry and raspberry bushes and inspect hardy vines and climbing roses. With the exception of Spring flowering shrubs and plants, all pruning should be done before new growth starts. Now is the time to give lilacs and fruit trees or any other plants need­ ing it, a dormant spray for scales. If you kept your outdoor window loxes filled with evergreens this Winter, turn the hose on them to wash off the Winter’s soot, cultivate the earth around their roots and water them generously. This will freshen them up so they will remain attractive until you can replace them with summer plants and vines. Plant sweet peas just as early as you can break'into the soil-with a spade. Dig the trenches at least one and one-half feet deep and about nine inches wide. Fill them with very rich soil to within four inches of the top. Then sow the seeds quite thick —twelve to fifteen seeds to a foot— and cover them with two inches of soil. As the vines grow, gradually fill up to the level of the ground.• • • • When you arrange bric-a-brac on a side- table, mantel or hanging shelf, vary the size and shape of the pieces.

Mem­bers and their friends to the num­ber of nearly one hundred gatheredin the Masonic Banquet Hall for afine supper served by the refresh­ ment committee of which Mrs. Amy Fugard was the convener. The banquet hall was decorated for the occasion in the O. E. S. colors of blue, yellow, white, green and red.

Gracing the head table was a large birthday cake, attractively decorated with a colored star and centred with large yellow |aper. The banquet supper was thorough­ ly enjoyed. A short program of in­ troductions and speeches was pre­ sided over by the Worthy Patron of Avalon Chapter, J. Ferris David. Miss Florence E. Macpherson, the Worthy Matron, welcomed the guest* and members. A vote of thanks to the Chapter members who were re­ sponsible for the arranging and serv­ ing of the banquet and the decora­ tions was moved by Bro. Joseph Wil­ son, Past Patron and seconded by Bro. Harry R. Cornell, Associate Patron. Following the supper, ‘a most en­ joyable evening’s entertainment- was provided by a group of Woodstock artists, with Jim Driver of Wood- stock, acting as master of ceremon­ ies. The program opened with a sing song led by Lome Lynch, choir­ master of College Avenue United Church, Woodstock, with Miss Aud­ rey Illingworth at the piano.

AffairSponsored By Ingersoll LionsClub.A musical treat of outstandingexcellence was provided for thepeople of Ingersoll and district onThursday evening last, in Trinity United Church when the Ingersoll Lions Club presented The London Male Choir, Bruce Sharpe, Violinist, end Boy Choristers from St. Paul’s Cathedral, London. Upwards of three hundred were in attendance to enjoy the remarkably fine concert provided by the London Male Choir, regarded as the leading organization of its kind on the con­ tinent. The choir under the able leadership of Mr. George G. Leth­ bridge, with A. Ernest Harris, A.T. C.M., accompanist has completed successfully in the outstanding musi­ cal festivals on the continent and has been heard from time to time on the Canadian Radio Commission's Coast-to-Coast network. Rarely is a community the size of Ingersoll privileged to have a visit from such a renowned choir and the Ingersoll Lions Club are to be heart­ ily congratulated on bringing the choir and assisting artists to Inger­ soll. Mr. Bruce Sharpe, violinist, the assisting artist, who is the conductor of the London Symphony Orchestra, made a great hit with his audience. His renditions were marvelously exe­ cuted and he was most generous with encores. Being applauded back for second encores he always acceded to the request from his hearers. Miss Ruth Bricklin accompanied Mr. Sharpe at the piano. The Boy Choris­ ters from St. Paul’s Cathedral, were heard to advantage in the number, “Art Thou Weary,” which was given in addition to the regular program. Mr. Lethbridge acted as accompan­ ist for this. Following the concert, the visiting artists were served refreshments in the church parlors, by members of the Ingersoll Lions Club. While no(t an outstanding success financially, the presentation more than paid its way and the club mem­ bers are delighted with the support received from the public in their first sponsored efforts since organiz­ ation in January. The program follows: “God Save the King’’, arranged by Barnby. “Pilgrim’s Song” — Tschaikowsky- Cross. “Bird Songs at Eventide”—-Barrie- Coates. “Entrance and March of the Peers”, (lolanthe)—Gilbert-Sullivan.

An open meeting of the milk pro­ ducers of Burgessville and district to consider the advantages of a cheese factory in this community, was held in the Community Hall, there on Friday afternoon. Fred Hilliker and James Laird acted as chairman and secretary, respectively, for the meeting, which was well at tended. Frank Herns, London, who has been connected with the cheese busi­ ness for 40 years, addressed the meeting, and outlined the advantages of a cheese factory. G. R. Green, department of agri­ culture representative for Oxford, also presented an address, in which he set. forth the advisability and ad­ vantage of having the industry under the control of the local farmers. The speaker also offered his assistance to the project. At the conclusion of the meeting, the chairman asked those who ap­ proved of a cheese factory in the vicinity to s^tand and by this means it was apparent that the great major­ ity were in favor. A committee comprising John Jaques, Douglas Hoover, Alvah Lampman, Alan Gilmour, Fred Hil­ liker, S. N. Smith, and Arthur Man- son was appointed to delve into this matter byway of direct contact with the producers and report later. This meeting was held to get the feeling of the public. Interest was evidenced at the meeting, but no de­ finite action was taken. Little Future For Air Stewardesses ■ Some of the attractive young stewardesses who are assigned to duty on the big airlines have already decided, though the job is compara­ tively new, that the future holds little for them in the way of ad­ vancement. Two have learned to pilot a plane and have qualified. The first to become a pilot in her own right is Miss Helen Huntley of Chi­ cago. The next to make a solo flight is Miss Agnes Hermansen, who, stud­ ied flying at a Brooklyn airport and made her solo flight at the Newark airport. “I should say that 50 per cent, of men are ruled by their wives without knowing it,“ states an essayist.

LONDON MINISTER (Continued from page 1) not see why someone has not under­ taken organization of a “good-for- nothing club,” said the speaker. In the event of formation of such a club, I would suggest that they use a pig’s tail for the insignia—not the buttons and badges as you fellows wear. I know of no club that would rightfully have such a large member­ ship, and I know of nothing less use­ ful that might be used for ins’gnia than a pig's tail.” Rev. Mr. McTavish went on to tell some of the items in human behavior which have come to light in recent years to show the trend of some hu­ man minds. He cited the case of the man who rolled a peanut wiln his nose to the top of Pikes Peak. He held that accomplishment, if such it was, had brought about no good in any way. Again, reference was made to the ( man in Butler, Penn., who made a record by eating 75 eggs in ten and one-half minutes. The beneficial outcome of this was questioned. The marathon dancers who kept going for 675 hours without a break was another item being commented upon, as was a kissing competition in an­ other part of the United States. The bridge game between Culbertson and Lenz in “the Hotel Manhattan in New York with its gold trappings; its servants, its publicity, its gallery and its cross fire, all of which added up to little or nothing, the speaker held. “Thus, we see but a few of the highlights of this incurable and impu­ dent levity which has come being in the jSast few years. people—or some of them—are fid- ding while Rome burns, despite the very serious nature of affairs in the world about them,” said the speaker. Touching upon the more worth while things in life, Rev. Mr. Mc­ Tavish referred to the great things .that Florence Nightingale had done to bring the nursing profession to a high standard from the former lowly esteem in which it had been held. The speaker said he liked to think »f Francis Xavier, and of Charles Howe and many others. He told the story of the develop­ ment of the sewing machine by Howe, after Howe’s wife had told him how the stitching could really be done if he could work out the stitch­ ing mechanism. Howe struggled .with the machine, working out every­ thing but the actual mechanics of the needle action and the stitch. After his wife, experimenting as she sewed, told him the needle should work down from the top with one stitch being crossed through the other to hold it, Howe at once devel­ oped the machine to its final success. Again the speaker told of the little homeless newsboy who knew of a little girl in a hospital who needed a Do you ken the canny Scots?Aye, and it's a way wi’ ’em theyhae with certain dishesl From theland of the bannock and BobbyBurns come dishes as sturdy as acrag, as delicate as a Scotch mistLook not to Scotia for the flip­pant souffle or the haughty horsd’oeuvre.
