Canadian Troops landed safely in England last week. In full battle dress, armed and equipped as no other Canadian over* seas force, the first contingent were fighting fit. They disembarked in good order and were whisked off to prepared camps somewhere in Eng­ land. On Canadian soil, only a short thne before, the Prim* Minister of Canada, and Honourable Norman Rogers, Minister of National De­ fence, had wished Major-General McNaughton, commanding officer of the First Division, his officers and men Godspeed. And as the great convoy ploughed its way eastward from a Canadian Atlantic port, the battle-flag of the Division flying for the first time, ship orders to the troops contained the following mes­ sage from the Prime Minister, Rt. Hon. W. L. Mackenzie King: "I should like to give to you and through you to the officers and the men of the first overseas division, a farewell message from Canada, as you all leave our shores on the great mission which takes you overseas to the theatre of war in Europe. “You know that no .public leave- taking has been possible, but we de­ sire that you also know that the hearts of the people of Canada are with you, and that until you return, which we trust may bo at a day not too far distant, we will follow you with our sympathy, our gratitude and our prayers. "You go each one of you, of your own free will, through' the prompt­ ness of your own heart, at the dic­ tates of your own conscience, that Canada may take her place at the side of Britain and of France in the present war. Through brutal aggres­ sion and oppression war has been thrust upon innoceht nations by a foe who seeks domination of the world by force. You go to protect and preserve for your own and for others, all that is most precious in life. In your keeping and that of the brave men with, whom you will be associated lie the liberty and secur­ ity and security of individuals, of families and of nations in the pres­ ent and future life.* The land you love, the joys of home, peace and freedom of mind, heart and soul are all^s part of the sacred heritage youth seeks to preserve. "Be sustained in your arduous en­ deavours by the high purpose of the cause in which you have enlisted. Yours is a great crusade. You are the defenders of the faith, of all who believe in the God of righteousness, truth and justice. Civilization itself is at stake. Never before in the his­ tory of the world were the issues to great, or the outcome of conflict of such consequence to mankind. With hearts fid! of gratitude and pride we bid you Godspeed, knowing that whatever may lie before you, jou will continue throughout courageously to uphold the cause that so chivalrously you have made your own.” To kfiis message Major General McNaughton, officer commanding the first Canadian division r replied by naval wireless: “To Right Honourable W. L. Mac­ kenzie King, Prime Minister of Canada, Ot­ tawa. "This morning the battle flag of the firjt Canadian division was unfurled for the first time from the masthead of one bf the transports which arc to carry us to Europe in the great crusade on which we have now em­ barked to join our kinsmen from the British Isles and France. The mes­ sage from yourself and from your colleague, the Honourable Norman Rogers, Minister of National Defence, has been communicated to all mem­ bers of the first, contingent and oh their behalf it is my privilege to ex­ press our appreciation not only for your kind and inspiring words but also for the sympathy and encourage­ ment which you have given us. in the difficult task of passing from our peace-time vocations and preparing ourselves for war.

It’s the easiest thing in the world to put in a tack or two where they're badly needed around the house if you have a hammer and a box of tacks where you can put your hand on them, but if the hammer ha* dis­ appeared and the tack* are a minus quantity it follows that you will put off the repairing for a long time.

First, it was the size of the ships, next, the discovery that he had boarded an actual luxury liner, and before he had quite recovered from these initial surprises, he was to receive another when he reached the quar­ ters to which he had been assigned. It was an actual cabin and no question of a hammock slung ’tween decks. As a rule the berthing ran three men to a cabin which is the actual accommodation of ship’s cabins. On one ship, cabin after cabin toasted a private bath; what tales there will be to teU of that luxurious crossing. In every ship baths were numerous and as no ship carried anything like its rated capacity of passengers, this crossing of the First Division should indeed be historical from the viewpoint of the comfort of the men. Nor did the comforts of the voyage terminate with the provision of ample bathing space—something which appeals to soldiers—but the men were assured of beds and spacious berths, indeed the greater part of the sleeping accommodation on these vessels was in beds, a great advance from the bunks and ham­ mocks of the great Canadian Armada of 1914. - Another feature of this crossing was that the dining saloon of each ship was maintained in its usual ser­ vice, with food prepared in the ship’s galleys just as it would be during a regular Atlantic crossing of any of those ships. Naturally the menu was not as exten­ sive as the usual daily offering—how often has the modest traveller boggled at the vast array of items which ships’ cooks and stewards believe necessary to the sustenance of passengers—but sufficiently gen­ erous as to earn the appreciation of those thousands of healthy lads with their open-air appetites. One shipping company asked in advance if the men ■would require ice cream every day—that should stag­ ger the old plum and apple jest forever. The ans­ wer was that would doubtless be appreciated, but, in the meantime, it was suggested that plentiful sup­ ply of beer for the cahteen would be welcome. While on this subject of food, it was noted that the first soldier to board ship was a drummer of the Royal Canadian Army Service Supply Column, whose army job is looking after rations; well, you just can’t beat those lads for getting to the good grub in fast time. While even now it is not permitted to write com­ plete details of the actual ships which carried the First Division nor to identify them,, it is, of course, quite safe to say that they are of the type that might be termed the “big time” ships of the Atlantic. The man with a knowledge of ships could spot them but the traveller from the interior might well be amazed on being told that he was looking at one of the big fellows whose passengers usually figure largely in the social columns. Probably he would be disappointed. Nothing gay or holiday-like about these ships. Gone the bright hu?s, instead drab greys and blacks and nondescript colors and all of them looking like glori­ fied colliers. But on board and below everything was spick and span and decidedly shipshape, a lot of exterior slap-dash to fool an enemy observer, but trimness, power and efficiency where such things count, and each engine-room a powerhouse always ready to pick up the speed for which each one of those ships has an established reputation. Ships have a strong appeal and it was the fervent wish of every sea lover who saw these great vessels off to sea with their precious cargoes that they would terminate in safety not only that particular voyage, but the many more to come.

Britons wbthe old < .E.Fof the last war and who no doubtagain wtH throng the quaysides of English porta to welcome Canada’s new army, will thrill to the tune of a marching song written especially for the forces by Captain Mert Plunkett, founder and director of the famous “Dumbells” who is now supervisor of Soldier Concert Parties for The Canadian Legion War Services. “From across the sea" comes an invitation to a garden party being given by “a little fella” in Berchtes­ gaden. The invitation is accepted joyfully, as is suggested by the chorus:— We’re on our way! We’re on our way! We’re on our way to Berchtes­ gaden 1 And every day, and every day Is one day nearer Berchtesgaden. When we get there you can bet there’ll >be a hi-de-bow-de-hay, And with Chamberlain’s umbrella, We will spank the little fella. Singing hay, hay, hay, we’re on on otft way. The song was given its premiere in Ottawa recently when a great old soldier-new soldier party was staged by The Legion Branch in that city. Veterans and members of the C.A.S. F. greeted it with tremendous en­ thusiasm. It seems that The Legion's educa­ tion facilities established throughout Canada where there are concentra­ tions of men are being used exten­ sively. Boards of education, munici­ pal authorities and universities in all nine provinces are co-operating wholeheartedly with the various branch committees set up by the or­ ganization and classes are being held regularly in which the troops are re­ ceiving instruction in a variety of subjects. <Some advanced students are taking the opportunity of con­ tinuing their studies for matricula­ tion, others arc endeavouring to complete their B.A. degree by cor­ respondence, and not a few are tak­ ing conversational jmd military French and German. The most popu­ lar of all courses, however, are those being given in skilled trades, agrjpulture, technical subjects, book­ keeping, stenography and secretarial work. This may ibe accepted as rather conclusive proof that Canadians on active service have taken a sensible attitude toward the war and are wisely preparing for that day when peace is declared and they once again take up life as civilians. In Halifax, where The Legion is helping to look after the welfare of members of the navy, ^the sailors are showing a marked preference for “blood and thunder” stories of the Captain Horn blower type. They are cheering themselves up, one Legion officer reports, with such epics as “Death of a iHero," “Before the Bombardment,” “Gun Cotton and Les Miserables." r AL BANK OF CANADAcommending the ladies on their ex­cellent work of the past year.

R. Haskell, Manager of the Toronto Better Business Bureau, in one of his recent radio addresses. I“Naturally an anti-freeze," he sa'hj, “must protect against freezing, but a good anti-freeze must also protect all the metals of the cooling system from rust and corrosion, the cause of so much harm, particu­ larly in modern motor cars.” “There are types of anti-freeze materials," he con­ tinued, “which are harmful to cooling system mot­ ors. They are generally known as the ‘salt type’ and car manufacturers warn against their use." He quoted from the literature of one automobile manufacturer —“solutions containing salt, calcium chloride, soda sugar*or.mineral oils, such as kerosene, or engine oil, should never be used in the cooling system, as they will clog the water passages or damage the hose con­ nections or other metal parts.” Motor car manufacturers, Mr. Haskell said, endorse the use of ethylene glycol provided that it contains suitable inhibitors to prevent rust and corrosion in the cooling system. Ethylene glycol does not evapor­ ate as does denatured alcohol or methanol, nor Is it harmful to car finish.. Since ethylene glycol does not evaporate, periodic additions are not "necessary to maintain the degree of protection desired against freezing. Periodic testing is essential with the evaporating types of anti-freezes. In conclusion, Mr. Haskell advised his listeners that it would be well for every car owner to ask himself six questions before making an anti-freeze selection: 1. Are the ingredients of the anti-freeze approved by the car manufacturers? 2. Wil! it permit motor operation at temperatures best in keeping with maximum fuel and oil economy? 3. Is it less corrosive than water? 4. - Will it prevent rust formation and consequent nut clogging? 6. Can it be easily and accurately tested at any Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Stalker are spending the holi­ days at Londesborough. Herbert Woolson of Grand Rapids, spent Christmas at his home in town.

Kirwin of the Ursaline Convent, Chatham, is spending her holidays with her parents, Oxford street Members of the Royal Canadian Air Force, on the other hand, go in for more serious types of literature, particularly that dealing with the ' history and mechanics of aviation. Speaking of the Air Force, inciden­ tally, recalls to mind that this branch of the service is providing' extraor­ dinarily good talent for the concert parties being organized by The Can­ adian Legion War Services wi(h|p4fae' unite themselves. ; ■ Ae-in the navy and the army, the Legion is continuing to develop these concert parties by forming self-con- tained companies within each unit. They are being properly costumed and equipped and coached by old soldiers experienced in theatrical work, so that they will be able to entertain themselves when they pro­ ceed overseas. Potato Crop Value The first official estimate of the value of the potato crop in Canada in 1939 places the total at 33^,059,- 000, with an average price over Can­ ada of 31,08 per cwt. compared with 383,093,000 and an average price per cwt. of 30.92 in 1938, and 326,- 060,000 and an average price per cwt. of 30.88 in 1937.

The average weight of school child­ ren has increased by three pounds and the average height by half an inch compared with ten years ago. Nearly 83% of conscripts passed as grade 1. The death rate has fallen and is now ^8.5 per 1000 of. population the lowest on record and just half of of what is was in 1901. Infant mortality has a new low record of 53 per thousand births, a little more than one-third what it was at the beginning of the century. Maternal mortality in 1938 was less than 3 per 1000 births, while 5 years ago it was 4.4 The deaths from tuberculosis are again the lowest on record, being only half the number in 1911. The black spot is the increase in cancer mortality, the number of deaths for 1938 numbering 68,605, which was 1,000 more than in the previous year. While the reporter of these advances Yejoices in the im­ provements mentioned, he deplores the fact that there is no decline in the number of cases of diphtheria and that there are still some 3,000 deaths from typhoid. Well, the reme­ dy for diphtheria is thoroughly well known to English authorities. It is that which has so revolutionized diph­ theria incidence and deaths in Can­ ada, namely the universal use of the preventive, Toxoid. As-soon as the English public health authorities em­ ploy Toxoid systematically they will be surprised to see how their diph­ theria cases and death will dis­ appear. SCIENCE TO SUFFER UNDER NAZIS Sir Thomas Holland, principal and vice chancellor of Edinburgh Uni-vertfty, presiding at za graduation ceremony, predicted / degeneration in German Military efficiency ns a result of neglect of scientific re­ search, which was evident,in the last six years. Sir Thomas, who is a past president of the Institution of Min­ ing and Metallurgy is reported by the London correspondent of the Journal of the America! Medical Association as saying that during those six years German universities turned out from their research labor­ atories a ' gradually diminishing stream of products. Six or seven years ago no scientific man in the world would have dared to pass over the publication of the research in­ stitutions of Germany. Not only were they great hi volume but their qual­ ity was of a kind that led the world. Today these volumes of output have diminished to small fragments of,their former size, and their quality is negligible. One cun predict from this fleet alone that the neglect of fundamental truth for its own sake must be followed by degeneration in technical efficiency. What is less im­ portant possibly, but immediately important to everybody in Europe, is that this neglect certainly win be followed by degeneration in military efficiency. Jt is naw or never for Germany, even from the military point of view. Referring to the sug­ gestion that Germany itself might noon save the situation, Sir Thomas said it was easy to destroy a great LIAB ILITIES structure but that it took many years ] live to see the time when German un­ to build another like it. Only the | iversities would be restored to their very youngest of his hearers would 1 old position in the intellectual world.

Ingersoll Auto Electric Fleischer and Jewett Limited Dodge and DeSoto Sales and Service Phone 98 INGERSOLL A much more simplified system of travel by bus throughout Western Ontario will come into effect at mid­ night, December 30, when the present Canadian-American Trailways com­ pany is taken over by the Greyhound Lines, as announced by Manford Bur­ leigh, general manager of Canadian Greyhound and Toronto Greyhound Lines. The enlarged Greyhound sy­ stem will operate over 765 miles of highways in Ontario, including High­ ways 2, 3, 4,-7, 8, 22, 40 and 98, and serving the most thickly-populated area in the province. The improved service that will re­ sult will include the use of the new Greyhound cruiser coaches on all main runs, and will also eliminate duplication of depots in several centres. This latter step will make it possible to give full information on all phases of bus travel at one loca­ tion. In future all persons travelling from Windsor to Toronto will ride over Highway No. 2, with a saving of at least one hour’s time. The Windsor-Belle River division will beI continued without change to serve residents of Tecumseh, Pike Creek, Puce and Belle River, and the Chat- ham-Wallaceburg line will remain the same as at present. Pending completion of the new $200,000 Windsor Greyhound depot, ground for which was broken this week, Greyhound buses will continue to operate from the present Grey­ hound depot as well as from the pre­ sent ^Canadian-American terminal” according to Stanley S. Springsteen, president of Canadian Greyhound. Following a recent survey of bus company properties along Highway No. 2 by Clayton D. Aiken, Grey­ hound general passenger agent, it has been decided to improve the Chatham and (London terminals and to install a modern coffee shop in each. The Greyhound operation in On­ tario dates back to 1930 when a line was inaugurated along Highway No. 3 from Detroit and Windsor to Buf- falo. Under the capable direction of the late William R. Woolatt, and supported by consistently strong ad­ vertising in both daily and weekly newspapers, the new venture wds 'soon a thriving, undertaking. Subse­ quently a local service was.begun between Windsor and Leamington, and the Sarnia-London bus line pur­ chased. In 1932, Canadian Greyhound Lines in conjunction with Gray Coach Lines of Toronto, launched the Toronto Greyhound Line operatlalh in Windsor.Min Joyce Davies of Hamilton,spent the Christmas week-end withher parents, Mr. and Mrs. Geo.

VEALE - PROPRIETOR / Page 8 THE INGERSOLL TRIBUNE, THURSDAY, DEC. 28, 1939There’s No TimeUike the PresenttoWish You AHA Very Happy New Year. S908 W. W. WILFORD and STAFF MEN FROM FIRST (Continued from .page 1) are assured that we may draw our weapons as we may need from the abundant reserve of the United King­ dom until such time as our own Can­ adian industries will give us a secure base beyond reach of enemy interfer­ ence. For this, Mr. Prime Minister, we are very grateful to you, to your government and to the people of Canada and you may be sure it is the firm resolve of every man in the force to use the resources which you have given us to the full in the cer­ tain hope the existing menace to civ­ ilisation and to our freedom and lib­ erty will be set at rest. There arc dark days ahead but we have faith that the efforts of the British com­ monwealth, of our great ally, of those who are from Canada and of those who will follow will in the end prevail.” This gxchange of messages at sea, accompanied by the message from the Minister of Defence, was the sequel to cordial words of Godspeed before General McNaughton left the capital. On the day previous to departure of troops from Ottawa, General Mc­ Naughton called on the Prime Mini­ ster in his offices at the East Block to say goodbye. For three quarters of an hour, the tiyo men discussed problems of war, General McNaugh­ ton expressing his satisfaction at arrangements made for the first div­ ision. On the following morning, the Min­ ister of Defence called on the Prime Minister and together they went quietly to the special sidings where troops from the Ottawa district were already embarking. General Mc­ Naughton welcomed the Prime Mini­ ster and Mr. Rogers and introduced them to his staff. For a quarter of an hour they went up and down the platform shaking hands with offi­ cers and men, while at the same time pipers paraded by the side of the train, playing Highland airs. As at length the train pulled out, men leaned .out of the windows cheering. And General McNaughton stood on the rear platform of the train, giving a ’ military salute. This first c htingent of the Can­ adian Active Service Force included men from the nine provinces of Can­ ada, as well as representatives of the 'important racial groups which com­ pose the population of the Dominion, the French Canadian contingent in­ cluding men not only from the prov­ ince of Quebec but also French- speaking Canadians from other parts of Canada. The force included infantry with their machine guns, artillery, field, medium and heavy; mechanized units, engineers, signals, medicals, army service corps and all the necessary ancillary units. t In addition to the troops and their personnel equipment, artillery motor transport, stores and other equip­ ment were carried to the port and placed on shipboard. The Canadians were not crossing empty-handed. This force was of men and munitions. The assembly of this force had been carried out with precision and efficiency. Troop trains had moved from all parts of Canada on sched­ ules which provided for arrival at the east coast port with two hour in­ tervals between train movements. This enabled embarkation without disturbance, the troops of one train being in their ships' quarters before the arrival of the next following train. Such a large troop movement did not pass unnoticed in Canada but the newspapers faithfully observed the policy of silence so necessary to ensure the safety of these men about to set out as the fighting representa­ tives of Canada’s war effort. Farewells had been said at each point of departure in Canada, and in strange contrast to the crowds which had witnessed the setting off in num­ erous cities and towns the arrival at the east coast port was witnessed only by the embarkation officers and such other military, naval and trans­ port officials whose presence was necessary at this stage. It was a healthy division. They were picked men, every man of them. The Royal Canadian Army Medical Corps had examined and re-exam­ ined, x-rayed and tested them’all. A man must be fit to fight, fit to carry the burden of war, fit to stand the long siege of duty—or he couldn’t go. Provision was made to prepare the historical record and also to provide for the actual spot news of the oc­ casion. Among those who sailed on the ship containing the headquarters staff,was a press representative whose story is now available to all the news­ papers in Canada. In addition to the press arrange­ ments, many pictures were ''shot," both by still and film cameras, and this photographic record will also be made available to the public. An additional chapter in these arrangements was furnished by the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation which sent along broadcasting equip­ ment and other equipment capable of providing recordings of the sounds of embarkation, of the sailing and of the life of the troops while at sea. The National Film Board had charge of the filming of the event and sooner or later Canadians will see in the news reels the picturiza- tion of the response.
