H. Ed­monds in the chair. > A petition was read from the mer­ chants requesting the council to pro­ claim Tuesday, December 26th, Box­ ing Day, a civic holiday. In compli­ ance with this request it was moved by Councillor S. J. Smith and sec­ onded by Councillor Preston, “That the Mayor proclaim December 26th as a civic holiday for Boxing Day." | A request was received from Roy- den G. Start, secretary of the Inger­ soll Community “Y,” asking tor the remission of the taxes paid on the “Y” property on Oxford street This was granted on motion of Councillors Murray and Clark. Byron G. Jenvey, chairman of the Ingersoll Board of Health, presented the report of that body for the year and pointed out that Ingersoll had experienced a year without epidemics of any kind. He requested that he not be re-appointed for another year. Reports of several committees were presented. These recommended the payment of accounts. A brief meeting was held with L. M. Sommer, W. A. C. Forman and Max A. Poole, representing the Ki- Y. playgrounds committee who offer­ ed to supervise skating and winter sports if open air rinks were erected and maintained by the council on the Memorial School and Princess Elizabeth School Grounds. Nothing definite was decided upon but the council offered to provide relief labour for building and maintaining labor for building and maintaining the rinks. Following the meeting, Mayor A. H. Edmonds acted as host to mem­ bers of the council, civic officials and the press, at Bighams* Tea Room, where lunch was served. A vote of thanks was tendered Mayor Ed­ monds who is retiring from Municipal Life this year, and appreciation was expressed of the service he had ren­ dered the town during the past five years, three on the council and two as mayor. Mayor Edmonds briefly ac­ knowledged the felicitations. The regular monthly meeting of the Ingersoll Junior Firaen was held on Dec. 12th, in the ingv.^U Council Chambers, with a good at­ tendance. The president, John Rob­ bins, opened the meeting with the roll call, “Suggestions for winter care of livestock.” Milne Hart gave a talk on the roll call in which he brought out may helpful hints on care and winter feeding of livestock. The speaker of the evening was Mr. Wm. Nancekivell, who spoke on, “The Growth of Edible Nuts,” a hobby which Mr. Nancekivell has been following for years. He had i several samples of the best known varieties, which will grow in this I climate and explained how they could be grafted. He also outlined hnany experiences associated with his hobby. John Robbins then gave a practical demonstration on halter making. After reports on the coun­ ty meeting the meeting adjourned to meet with the Ingersoll Junior Insti­ tute. A splendid program was given by the "West” group. The meeting adjourned to meet again January 23rd, 1940. Mr*. J. R. Spaven Elected St Paul’s Ladies Aid President Cheery Notes From The Christmas Bells The streets of Ingersoll with strings of green and red lights and large bells of evergreen at the corn­ ers of Thames and Charles and Thames and King streets have helped to make the public conscious of the fact that the Christmas season is here. The lack of snow this year has had its effect in making the people forget that Christmas is at hand, thus the gay Christmas decor­ ations did their part in helping the people to get the Christmas spirit The two large Christmas bells have been pealing out chime and bell num­ bers, and Christmas music through loud speakers operated from J. A. Wilson’s radio service store. This feature we believe is unique in Can­ ada, and the Public Utilities Commis­ sion who look after the Christmas decorating of the streets of the town, are to be congratulated on arranging for this form of entertainment yfor the Christmas shoppers. f ■ At the annual meeting of the Ladies Aid Society of St. Paul’s Pres­ byterian Church, the officers for tho year 1940 were elected as follows: President—Mrs. J. R. Spaven. First Vice-President—Mrs. Hen­ derson. Second Vice-President—Mrs. R. B. Hutt Third Vice-President—Mrs. J. G. Paterson. Secretary—Mrs. J. G. McArthur.

Thompson Largely Attended Most impressive were the tributes paid to the memory of the lata Loyst H. Thompson. From far and near many friends gathered with hundreds of citizen* at the public funeral ser­ vice conducted in Trinity United Church, by his pastor, Rev. C. D. Daniel, which followed a private ser­ vice at the family home, Canterbury street. Both by the large attendance, representative not only of his wide circle of friends in the community, but of his acquaintances and friends in business and fraternal circles throughout Ontario, and the wealth of flowers, was there a true indica­ tion of the esteem in which he was held and the unmistakable sentiment of sorrow. More than one hundred floral offerings testified to the large place Mr. Thompson occupied in the affections of those who knew him as a sincere friend. As a further mark of esteem the plant of the Morrow Serew and Nut Company closed down for the afternoon and there was a large representation of the employees at the public service in Trinity Uni­ ted Church at 2.36 o’clock. During the service, Rev. C. D. Daniel made reference to the splendid qualities of citizenship of the de­ parted and of his noble example in daily life. During the service, Mrs. Harold Uren, gave a most effective rendition of the solo, "The Old Rugged Cross.” Interment was made in the Inger­ soll Rural Cemetery. The bearers were Messrs. Sid. Green, Hamilton; Ernest Estlick, Peterborough; How­ ard Aseltine, F. G. Rich, H. Swallow, James Sinclair. Aihong those from out of town in attendance were Col. H. L.

It is still the best message to bring io the heart* of people this Christmas Reason. ef It was the api»earane€ of the angel over the little town of, Bethlehem and Judaea, and the heavenly mesaerstr told the people that Jesus, the Prince of Peace, had been bom. Hon* much this troubled world needs a repetition of that message today. Two thousand years ago, the people had hoped for a Messiah; they longed for,a leader to guide them to peace and good will. During the centuries that have followed the message of the Prince of Peace haa been heard, but it has not always been heeded. At this Christmas time there is trouble throughout the world. There has been fighting in Europe since the first of September. Only a few hundred miles from the manger where He lay, has been several battle scenes in recent months. In other distant parts of the world there have been naval engage­ ments. Even on Christmas Day there will be soldiers on guard against attack from opposing forces. Even in the British Isles, women and children will huddle in fright as they fear airplanes coming over their homes to drop death-dealing bombs. How sad it is that this Christmas sees so much that is not brightened by good will. The lamps of enlightenment that -were lit by Jesus in Palestine did extend to all comers of the world. But in the last few months many attempts have been made to snuff out these lights. But there is still hope. In the hearts of men there beats the unquenchable desire for ultimate progress and peace. We know that at Christmas time there is a quickening of the humanitarian spirit. In Canada, we are fortunate that while we are at war, we are far removed from the scene of battle. At Christmas people exchange gifts as a token of good will. There is a desire to make a public manifestation of peace. It is a gracious gesture when we exchange gifts of greetings, because it shows that at heart we wish to live without enmity. In moments of discouragement, let us all remember that the cause of the Prince of Peace has suffered many setbacks during the centuries; but always good -will rises triumphantly to overcome evil. This has been the record of history ever since the glad cries of the angels echoed through those Judaen hills on the first Christmas. The message is still there. The old, old story still holds good. Christies brings a feeling of happiness that some day may penetrate through all the year. This old world can have peace, if all the people join together and echo that hymn of praise, which came from the heavenly host, when the angels sang: Glory to God in the highest, end on earth by our form of vernment They realize that the right to property * the foundation upon which family life rest*. They realise that tho family as exempli­ fied by tho King and Queen during their recent visit to Canada is the corner stone of our civilization. They know, as well as we all do, that the privately owueJ and controlled fam is th- safeguard, of the modern home The family farm is the bulwark of our national character.'Mice. For it we all stand. It is ths duty of Canada to bring our farms and those business or­ ganisations essential to their continued existence through the war soundly established.”—Hon. J. G. Gardiner, Dominzon Minister of Agriculture, in an ad­ dress to the United Grain Growers at Winnipeg. The Shorteat Day To-day we have reached the shortest day of the year, and now the days will begin to lengthen and the old saying is, ‘'The cold begins to strengthen/’ That may be true and even though the worst of the cold season may still lie ahead, we are headed toward the springtime. Since away last June we have been seeing the sun rise later and set earlier, until recently the day has seemed very short. But now, with the days begin­ ning to lengthen we can look ahead to the arrival of the first seed catalogue, to the time when the first crocus and tulip stick their brave little heads through the ground, and when the bifds return from the south. We are headed again toward the “Good Old Summer Time,” instead of away from it, and to those of us who cannot go to Florida or California for the next few months, it is productive of a mighty com- fortsfijle feeling, if you ask us.. LOOKING BACK 23 YEARS From the Files of The Oxford Tribune, Ingersoll, Canada, Thursday, Dec. 21st, 1916 The Ingersoll branch of the Upper Canada Bible Society, held its annual meeting Friday evening at tho home of the President, Rev. Joseph Janes, Ann street. The election of officers for the ensuing year resulted as follows: President, Rev. R. J. M. Perkins; Vice-President, R. J. Robertson; Secretary-Treasurer, A. S. Crawford; Executive Committee, St. James* Church, G. C. Ellis and John Lee; St. Paul’s Church, Rev. D. W. Best, James S. Cuthbert and Wm. Partlo; Baptist Church, Rev. Joseph Janes, Col. T. R. May­ berry and Geo. H. Langford; Methodist Church, Rev. L. W. Hill, E. W. Uren, and E. H. Hugill. A Bit of Fur Trade History. Canadian fur trade history will write another new chapter in December and January when 3,000 finished seal skins—enough for approximately 500 fur coats— will be offered for sale by the Department of Fisheries at fur auctions in Montreal. This will be the first occasion on which seal skin auctions similar to those in London, England, and St. Louis, U.S.A., world centres of the fur trade, have been held in the Dom­ inion. The 3,000 skins which will be auctioned at Montreal are part of Canada's share of fur seal skins taken on the Pribilof Islands, Alaska, under the Pelagic Seal­ ing Treaty. They have been dressed and dyed by a leading processing company in Great Britain and are comparable in quality to skins offered at London for the British and European trade. Both black and brown dyed skins will be included, all sumped with the Maple Leaf insignia. Under the scaling treaty, the capture of seals on the Pribilof rookeries is entirely in the hands of the United States Government but Canada is entitled to fifteen per cent of the annual take. Of course, in the interests of conservation only a certain propor­ tion of the total herd are selected for killing each year. The skins offered for sale at Montreal are from the take of previous years,but this year up to July 27th, 1939, when the season ended, 60,473 fur seal skins were obtained in Pribilof areas. Canada's share of these 1939 skins has already been delivered to the Dominion authorities but the pelts are still in the “raw” state and will be finished.later on. Increases in the herds during 1939 were syffficient to allow 2,109 more skins to be taken than Xn-1938 and the number of skins obtained this year was the largest secured in 50 years, according to\ official United States figures. In other words, the seal population is at present at the highest point since 1889. Until a short time ago the practice of Canadian authorities was to market their share of the Pribilof skins through St. Louis auctions, but for severol years past the pelts have been shipped to London for processing and sale. Now, however/it is believed de­ sirable, to put a share of the skins on the Canadian market direct, and plans for the holding of the Mon­ treal .auction have therefore been made. The last meeting, of the year of the Ingersoll Col­ legiate Institute Literary Society was held on Friday, Dec. 15th. The chair was occupied by the second vice- president, Eugene Enright.

Christmas is essentially the children's holiday: That is as it should he. To enthrone and do hom­ age to the children on Christmas is not only commem­ orating and reverencing the Child who was born of Mary nearly twenty centuries ago, but it is-elevating the child of today to his proper place aaifhe future ruler of his country. In a democracy, where everybody shares equally' in the government of all the .people, every child is destined to become one of the rulers when we who now share the responsibility have passed on. In ancient days, when kings ruled by hereditary right, that was not true. The children of the poor •nd lowly had no place in the Christmas festivities. The sons and daughters of princes alone were re­ garded as worthy of the gifts of the people. It took a long time for the spirit of the teachings of Him in whose honor Christmas is celebrated, to gain such possession of the world that over great areas and in the hearts of hundreds of minions His doctrine of the easedtisl equality and brotherhood of all mankind prevails. And where all are equal, the children of the poorest have the some right to share in the gifts of Christmas time as any others. William H. Kerr, well known and highly respected resident of Ingersoll, passed away nt his home, on Alma Street, Friday afternoon. He was born In North Norwich Township. He was in his Gist year and is survived by his widow and seven children: Thomas, Frank, Nelson and Miss Coz* at home; Wal­ ter, Sault Ste. Marie, and James and Mrs. Roy May­ berry, Ingersoll.
