IN PERTH REGIMENT Big Eight Will PackChristmas Basket* The Ingersoll Tribune has been 1 handed a clipping from the Stratford ‘ Beacon Herald which under the cap- 1 tk>n "Introducing Officers of the *Perth Regiment," carried the follow- 1 ing article introducing Lieut. George ’ E. Carr, son of Mr. and Mrs. W. R.Carr, Oxford street, Ingersoll, who 1 was for several years a teacher on 1 the staff of Victory Memorial Public 1 School, and operated a hardware 1 business in St. Marys, before being called for active service with the 1 Perth Regiment:“Lieut George Edward Carr, trans- " port and billet officer of the Perth 1 Regiment has had a varied career 1 in the militia, having entered the ' work when he was a lad of 12 or 13 1 years. He followed the "game” more ; as a hobby, little realizing that the day would come when he would hold ; a commission in one of the Canadian ■ Active Service Forces. Bom in St Marys, Lieut Carr is a son of Mr. and Mrs. W. R. Carr of ) IngersolL He went to public schools ' in St Marys, Woodstock and Inger­ soll, where his family resided at-var­ ious times. After securing his honor matriculation at Ingersoll High , School, Lieut Carr entered London Normal School and graduated in 1932. It was with the Third Company of the First Division, Royal Canadian Corps of Signals that the young offi­ cer first enlisted. The unit was lo­ cated at Ingersoll and as the Oxford Rifles also had a company located there, he secured a transfer, becom­ ing a sergeant in 1930, a company , quarter-master sergeant the follow­ ing year, and three years later at­ tained his commission, qualifying at the Officers’ Training School in Lon­ don. Lieut Can* attended the small arms school at Connaught Ranges, near Ottawa, in 1936, and in 1937 qualified as a captain, though he was not appointed to this rank with the militia until January 3, 1939, when he was placed in command of "A” company of the Oxford Rifles. Lieut. Carr had applied for trans­ fer to the Perth Regiment upon his removal to St. Marys, where he was engaged in the hardware business, but it was not until shortly before mobilization in September that the order making the change effective came through from Ottawa. While he remained attached to the "D” com­ pany at St Marys he took an active interest in its work. Lieut. Carr is permitted to hold both the rank of lieutenant and cap­ tain under the orders which place him with the Perths permanently, it ' being a military rule that when a man transfers from a unit of differ­ ent arms, such as rifles to machine guns, he reverts to a lieutenant in the new unit, yet holds his captaincy in rank as well. He is now qualifying for the machine gun work at the school now being held here." At the regular meeting of the Big Eight Society held on Wednesday evening last, in the I.O.O.F. hall, it was decided to follow the precedent bute Christmas Cheer Basket* to several needy families of the town. tickets and it is hoped that a suffic­ ient sum will be secured so that a* many baskets can be sent out as last year.Three new members were accept­ ed into the society and the attend­ ance at the-meeting was the largest in some time. President S. A. Gib­ son occupied the chair. A report on the annua) banquet was given and committees were appointed in con­ nection with the investigation of de­ serving cases for Christmas baskets. The committee consists of L. Pickard, Squire Moyer, W. A. Cline, Fred Franks, John Crosswell and George Davifes. The final arrangements for the purchase and distribution of the baskets will be made at a meeting tobe held on Wednesday evening, *Dec. 22nd. CARL W. MILLARD | NEW NASH DEALER LOYST B. THOMPSON TAKEN BY DEATH Junior Badminton Club Elect Officers! The election of officers for the Junior Badminton Club for the en­ suing year, resulted as follows: Past President—Meredith Walker.* President—Louise Butler. Secretary-Treasurer—Marie Doug- Now Showing The New 1940 Models. Was Seriously Ill Only For a Few Days. -Death on Tuesday afternoon, Dec. 12th, claimed Loyst H. Thompson, an esteemed resident of Ingersoll, for the past 33 years. Although Mr. Thompson had not been in robust health for the past three years, he was able to be at his work as late as Saturday morning, and had only been confined to his bed for three days. He was born at Oxford, Mich­ igan, a son of the late Rev. C. M. Thompe^ i and Mrs. Thompson, and was in h&'SJSrd year. He came to Ingersoll when in his late teens and had been employed by the Morrow Screw and Nut Company Limited, nearly all o^that time. He was in charge of sales for the Morrow Com­ pany and had a wide circle of friends throughout the whole of Ontario and was highly esteemed by his fellow employees of the company. He was a member of St. John’s Lodge, No. 68, A.#F. and A. M., Ing­ ersoll, and for many years served as its secretary. He was a member of Trinity United Church and served on the Board of Stewards. He was al­ ways associated with sports and for many years was an official of the Ingersoll Baseball Club. Surviving besides his widow who was formerly Margaret Hearn, is one daughter, Mrs. Jack Canfield, Wood- stock; a sister, Mra R. A. Plumb and a brother, C. E. Thompson, Royal . Oak, Michigan. The funeral is being held this, , (Thursday) afternoon, from the fam­ ily residence, Canterbury street, with a private service at the house at 2 o’clock, followed by public ser­ vice in Trinity United Church, at * 2.30 o’clock. Interment will be made , in the Ingersoll Rural Cemetery. Believing that a new era of high­ way adventure is about to get under way in Canada and the United States, Nash engineers packed the new 1940 Nashe* with a score of adventure features that are said to .make driving more fun, more com­ fortable and safer than ever before is the opinion of Carl W. Millard. 42 King street west, newly appointed Nash dealer for Ingersoll. The new 1940 Nash line of cars, possessing a smooth new “airliner" beauty, consists of eighteen models in three series that cover a wide proce range, beginning among the lowest in the industry, Mr. Millard says. Nash, which broke many sales rec­ ords during the 1939 model year when public acceptance for it* cars increased rapidly, will make a drive in the low-priced market this model year with an extra large and high powered car, he made known. Nash's low-priced automobile, the De Luxe LaFayette, has 117-inch wheelbase, a 99-horsepower motor, and offers a number of driving and construction features generally found only on much higher priced cars, he said. This low-priced series is made up of six new models. The other two series being intro­ duced by Nash—the twin-ignition, valve-in-head Ambassador Eights and the Ambassador Sixes also have six models in each line. These will be sold in the medium-price field, and, like the low-price cars, will be among the biggest automobiles in their price class, Mr. Millard pointed out. The eights have 125-inch wheel­ base, and motors with 115 horse­ power. The six-cylinder cars have 121-inch wheelbase and 105 horse­ power. w Many new features and numerous improvements are to be seen on the new cars. An "Arrow Flight Ride” is one of the big features which Nash will stress along with the condition­ ed air system it pioneered and which for 1940 has been advanced consid­ erably. Norsworthy Chapter HeldXmas Supper Bridge The glow of red candle* graced the banquet tables at th* Ingersoll Inn last Friday evening, making an at­ tractive decoration for the annual Christmas supper bridge, held by the Norsworthy Chapter, Imperial Order, Daughters of the Engxire. The affair w m attended by chapter members and their friends and was a most successful holiday festivity. After the delicious supper, a short business was held at which time don­ ation* of $5.00 each were made to the Welcome Circle of the King’s Daughters and the Missionary Circle of the King's Daughters. A commit­ tee was appointed to take charge of packing the Christmas cheer baskets to be sent to the war veterans at Westminster hoepital, this being a part of the annual givings of the chapter.In connection with the present war work activities, the regent, Mrs. R. G. Start, reported that 23 pneumonia jackets, two dozen hospital gowns, 25 pairs of socks and seven hot water bottle covers had been completed by the members and turned over to the Red Cross. Following the business, bridge was enjoyed for the balance of the even­ ing, with eleven tables in play. The prize winners were Miss Margaret Wilson, Mrs. J. Sinclair and Miss Helen Lynch. At this meeting the members brought contributions of fruit to be given to the King’s Daughters for their Christmas cheer work.

Writing in a current issue of The Canadian Chartered Accountant, Professor McQueen of Manitoba University makes the observation that this generation in Canada which must light the war must also pay the war and that those who tell u? that we can make posterity pay are deceiving both them­ selves and us. We shall fight the war by diverting our men and resources and equipment away from employ­ ment in the usual channels into war channels, and the shortage of things we have customarily enjoyed will be feh. by this generation and only to a very limited extent by posterity. There is one exception to thia proposition, he states, which has only to be noted to be dismissed. Could Canada float loans abroad, which means of course in the United States, for her war expenditures she could now, with the proceeds of those loans, command present American goods for war o civilian uses and posterity would have to return the equivalent of those goods in the future. But we shall not be borrowing in the United States or elsewhere abroad for many reasons and when we borrow from ourselves by means of domestic issues there is no shift­ ing of the burden to posterity. We divert reourees to get war supplies and when the war is over these re­ sources will be allowed to return to their normal em­ ployment producing things for posterity. This is a reality from which there is no escape and there is no possibility of burdening the future for the sacrifices of the present by taxation, or inflation or domestic borrowing. Whether then we resort to inflation, tax­ ation or to domestic borrowing—the only lines that will be open to us—the war generation pays the cost of the war. Which of these three methods of finance we should use and how far we should go with each methods, the Minister of Finance discussed in a man­ ner that will mark the Budget Speech of the Special Session of 1939 as a new high in Canadian public fin­ ance documents. In that speech the Minister stated: “First of all let me emphasise that however we finance the cost of the war, whether by taxation or by bor­ rowing or by inflation, we cannot escape its real cost” Such statement, adds Professor McQueen, is com­ pletely in the tradition of sound economics and will read as well thirty years from now as it does today.

I* M Dewan, Ou terio Minister of Agriculture, Mid tn an addram to the Federated Women's ImditislM of Ontario in Tor­ onto recently. Among the effective organisations in working out rural pruMems are the Women’s Institutes, the minister said. He urged that women interest them­ selves and young rural dwellers in the short courses m agriculture and home economics conducted each fall by the provincial department of agriculture. W. R. Reek, Deputy Minister of Agriculture, told the women it was a sign of strength >hat they could work under and with other organisations. The Federation discovered that local) W.

McDowell of Mil­ verton and Mary A. Clarke, Superintendent of On­ tario Women’s Institutes are honorary vice-presidents. Ontario Is Pleased With Bacon Scheme "Ontario is pleased with the definite agreement with Great Britain regarding hog marketing. Nine dollars a hundredweight is a satisfactory price to-day, taking grain prices at the moment into conridertion,” said Hon. P. M. Pewan, Ont. Minister of Agriculture, in commenting on the scheme whereby Canada is to supply Great Britain with 4,480,000 pounds of bacon and ham weekly until Oct. 31, 1940, with Britain paying a fixed price of $20.18 an English hundred­ weight of 112 lbs. This would amount to about 9 cents a pound live weight for hogs, it was stated. Mr. De wan said Ontario can produce just as much bacon by maintaining quality as by disregarding standards. It doesn’t cost any more to produce a good article than an inferior article. “Our gbod breeding foundation should be conser­ ved," he said. “Young, high-class commercial gilts should not be sent to market but purchased in the neighborhood. In other words, the local supply of breeding stock should be taken up at home.” One “expert” predicts a long war. Another with qualifications as good or better asserts that it is likely to be a short one. Still another thinks the struggle will go on for about three years. Admitting some of the arguments advanced by each, it impresses us that they are somewhat in the same predicament ax the blind men in the poem, who went to see the elephant and all came away with different intpressions. HEALTH LEAGUE of CANADA ardoiM, iiubart Ay re explains in an interesting article in “Th* Canadian Nurse ” It is simply a recognition of th* fact, that, in npite of widening experience there an still travellers TUBERCULOUS CONTROL According to Dr G J. Wherrett, Secretary of the Canadian Tubercul­ osis Association, tuberculosis control is a relative term since the death- rates vary in the different provinces and in various sections of Canada. The average deathrate in Ontario and the Western provinces is approx­ imately 35 per one hundred thousand of population. In Quebec and the Maritime provinces the deathrate is more than twice as high. In the lat­ ter areas it is as high as that of Ontario and the West 20 years ago. The basis of sny tuberculosis campaign is early diagnosis. It is possible to discover 3 new cases of tuberculosis for every tuberculous death in a municipality or commun­ ity. It is equally important to have sufficient sanatorium or hosp*'tal beds for the treatment of cases. Two thousand more beds are needed to bring Quebec and the maritiir.es up to the standard of Ontario and Western Canada. More . attention should be paid to the necessary after­ care of patients who still require careful, skilled supervision if their cure is to be complete. All of the foregoing and much ether excellent advice is contained in the September bulletin of the Can­ adian Tuberculosis Association which may be obtained on application to thc'Association’s office in Otuwa. “One reason the stewardess is a nurse," says this official of the T.C. A., “is because nurses inspire confi­ dence. Practical and poised women, cheerful and tactful, they are exper­ ienced in the art of helping people to forget their nervousness and of mak­ ing them feel at ease. “The T.C.A. Stewardess must bo a girl of good education and she must have a pleasing and courteous manner. These things naturally fol­ low when she is a nurse. It follows, too, that she will be in excellent physical condition. The T.C.A. is strict about this and the stewardesses report for medical examination every three months. The regulations say that a girl must not wear glasses and they add definite specifications regarding her height and weight. She may weigh as little as ninety- five but no more than 125 pounds. She must not be below five feet tall or above five feet five inches. She must not be under 21 nor over 26 years of age. Married women are not acceptable as TjC.A. Stewardesses even if their husbands are dead or divorced. Only Canadians are en­ gaged.” Incidentally, the word “hostess” is never used on the Trans-Canada Air Lines, ‘Stewardess” seeming more apt in identifying the functions of the young lady whose task is to serve the public. CANADA’S FLYING NURSES Only registered nurses are accept­ ed as stewardesses on the Trans­ Canada Air lines. This does not mean that the T.C.A. considers flying haz- NORTH OXFORD COUNCIL T h e 2 MACS' IngersoU's Leading Grocers Your Christmas Fruits For the ‘past thirty-two years we have been supplying this community with fine fruit* forChristmas Cooking.

That is, at home. But when they get up towards the higher grades at school they are encour­ aged to argue. You may call it a debate if you like, but it is still an argument. In fact, when you study the situation in all its aspects, argument plays quite a big role in everyday life. Every meeting of a municipal body is an argument if the members of that body are on to their jobs; every conference, whether it be in a business office, a synod or general sessions, every presentation of a case in a court of justice, is an argument. It is unfortunate that to -most of us plain people argument usually means altercation or contradiction. And it is unfortunate, too, that we use English so loosely that substitution of the word “debate” calms our fears and permits us to take pride in the fact that our youngsters in school are proficient in an art that we deprecated in their formative years as “argument.” It all depends, doesn’t it? In midde age we glow with satisfaction that we are enlightened enough to listen to a son or daughter present the other side of the case. Do we stop to think that if we had kt them give us their views when they were much younger we might have helped them to educate us in the right way to foster their development from the beginning. All of this grows from my daughter’s assignment to debate affirmatively that teachers have had more influence upon the world than doctors. We started searching our minds for examples and, of course, made the obvious discovery that teachers are to be found in every walk of life, that all of us—milkmen, farmers, street-car conductors, writers, plumbers — are teachers at some time or other. We had quite an interesting argument over it!

Wood As Fuel Canadians use a great quantity of wood annually as fuel for heating our homes in the winter months. Our bill for wood as fuel is reckoned at about thirtymillion dollars Znnually. It is therefore very timely to receive. from. the Department of Mines and Re­ sources a few pointers on the most efficient methods of burning wdqd. Tests made by the Department show that if a wood-fired stove is of inferior construction or is in poor condition it may not deliver more than half the heat it should. In other words as much as one dollar out of every two spent on fuel may be needlessly wasted. A leaky stove which admits air through a dozen places besides the regular draught openings is a bad offender and in a very short time may waste more dollars up the chimney than would be required to correct the fault The amount of air admitted to a stove or furnace should be completely under con­ trol particularly when burning wood because this fuel requires very little air for satisfactory combustion in comparison with the requirement for other fuels. Hard maple, yellow birch, beech, oak and hickory are among the best Canadian woods for fuel, a cord and one-quarter of any one of them being approxim­ ately equal in heating value to one ton of anthracite coal. Regardless of what wood is used, it should be as dry as possible for not only docs wet wood give out less heat than dry-wood but it is also apt to cause fouling of the pipes. For this reason firewood sea­ soned for less than one year' should not be used, and' to achieve the best results wood should*be cut into suitable lengths for the stove or furnace as soon as possible so as to permit the most thorough seasoning. The officers and teachers of the Four Square Class of the Baptist Church were hosts at a banquet on Thursday evening to about seventy-five young men including the Handford Boys of the Methodist Church and W, C.

More Than Twenty Operations Every Day Keep Hospital Surgeons , Busy I One of America’s Great Hospitals Treats Children Only During a visit to Toronto recently,your reporter called at the Hospitalfor Sick Children on College StreetI had seen this Hospital mentionedin news reports many, many times,particularly during the great Polio epidemic of 1B37., It was high time,I thought to do a little private in­vestigation and Cnd out why thisHospital should be ao much in thenews. WHAT HAPPENS EVERY TWENTY-FOUR HOURS I interviewed Mr. Jo::^b Bower,the Superintendent of this busy In­stitution. He told me that duringthe twenty-four hour period pre­ceding my visit nineteen operationshad bC'Ji crrfurbicd . . . fitiy-twoX-ray photographs taken . . . twohundred and eighty Individual pre­scriptions filled in a completely-equipped dispensary . . . twenty-eight bed patients were admitted. . thirty-three children dischargedos cured . . . more than foarbenhundred meals served ... ten chil­ dren had exte-ufhe dental workdone . . . 95% of the beds were oc­cupied, leaving only 19 beds free toremergency cases.

We visited thePublic Wards, the kitchens, swim­ming pool (necessary in the treat­ment of Polio and other cases), theorthopaedic workshop, the dispen­ sary end operating rooms. It struckme as being n completely-equippedhospital with much special equip­ment _ '' Vftvrj Ward wa visited, Mr. Bowerwould say: •Thia is a Publft Word.*' I was quite surprised to learn that90% of the patients treated here areIn Public Wards. Tbs Hospital Istaxed to capacity with little childrenwhose parents are unable to payeven the low Public Ward rates. The caw history of car little coopI had chatted with.- while walkingtbrou-.jh the W-nl, «Ja» very intev-esting and quite typical. “He wm•. i rht here one cold Winter e-tyin 1937. HJa parents had drive:moro than a hundred miles in theold farm truck an thelf little childmight have hospital treatment“After examining the'little fellow,our doctors told the parents that Imneeded attention tmmMfltey . . . that a complete cure would takemany months. “Upon hearing that bad news, thefather and mother were all forbundling the little chap up andleaving tor home. They could neverbegin to pay for that much treat­ment, they said, 'We had hoped itmight be just a week or so*. ? “It took quite a while/ con­tinued the Superintendent, “but wefinally convinced the parents thatjust terjuie they couluu’t -fforJ topay tor the boy's care was no rea-aon to deprive him of the onlychance be had to get well. We atit- ed them to leave their son with u,and let us worry about the cost ofthe treatment. "The boy is going bo-se nextweek after almu.t two years of con­tinuous bc-.'pltal cure, tnsns opera*tlons, several X-Rays. special diets,orthopaedic equipment, etc. tie'sfeeling pretty fit now and his par­ents have been able to pay but atittle toward thtt wonderful treat­ment. When n sick child needs hos­pital care, he gets it regardless of rare, creed or . financial dreum*stance." T?us led to a discussion on theoperating costs of the hospital I iwas given information which is tn- /teresting and well worth passing on. 1In round taiures, the opeiatlng ' expenses of the Hospital for the pastyear amounted to moro than $543,000.Trie opcr.itlnc revenue—front Pri­vate. Semi-private patients and thecomparatively few Public Wardpatients who are able to pay, grantsfrom Toronto, other Municipalitiessnd the Provincial Government-amounted to just a little more than$394,000, Thia means that the Hos­pital. although run on the most ef­ficient and economical basis, suffer­ed <n operating loss of over $149,000.Part of this deficit is met by the in­come from Investments made withmoneys bequeathed or endowed overa sixty-year period. There la stilla deficit of S90j000. And that la why this Hospital con­ducts an annua) appeal at this" timeto secure enough funds to offset thisoperating loss.
