MERIFIELD I Lion* Club Held Y'S MEN CLUB SPEAKER I B“in'“ Meeli“" Joseph Foster, President of the 5 Ingersoll Y's Men Club, was in charge of the regular meeting last week. Rev. IL E. Merifield, rector of St. James’ Anglican Church, was the speaker of the evening, and touched upon the number of activities and organizations in Ingersoll and inci* dentally expressed the thought that | they were too numerous and were overlapping in their work. Especially S did he feel this to be the case with some of the service dub work. He suggested that the service dubs get together and arrange their schedules and objectives in such a way that the overlapping would be cut down to the minimum. He felt that in this way much more effective results would be accomplished. Mr. Merifield’s talk had as its title, “Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow." The speaker traced the religious, so­ cial, economic and political disinte­ gration of the past 20 years, and held it to be part of a cycle that would start to swing back after the present war. Tracing these four points step by step along the way up to the present day, Mr. Merifield showed how disintegration had brok­ en down human character in many ways. He held that the net result of all the varied factors reflected in the breaking down process of the char­ acter of men had been one of the indirect causes of the present war. The speaker warned his hearers of the commencement of a new swing in the cycle which will go back in a general way to the starting point after the war. He urged young men of the present day to watch carefully the matters of character and worth­ while things to be emulated in the years ahead. He urged care in all things that would lend to build up mental physical and spiritual resist­ ance along the way. It was inciden­ tal to those points that Mr. Merifield spoke of the activities of local organ­ izations. The speaker was introduced by Jim Revell and Sidney Bagnall ex­ pressed the thanks of the club. Plans Made For Charter Night Ban­ quet on January 23rd at St. Charles Hotel.

THURSDAY, JANUARY llt|i 1940 Dominion’s Forthcoming War Loan A key man from Ottawa, has presented for this newspaper what we believe is one of the most en­ lightening revelations made so far about Canada's war job. What he had to say followed a casual question about the Dominion’s forthcoming war loan. And after he had very politely explained that we were out of order at the moment in trying to find out how much money would be borrowed, what interest would be allowed and when the loan would be launched, he «aid: “Your curiosity is well-placed, nevertheless, be­ cause this loan is just about the most important war development to date for Canadian citizens. True, we now have troops on English soil, and thousands more are getting ready to follow them. But you can­ not get away from the cardinal fact that this war is first and last an economic war. Britain and France have set the example and Canada must follow. “After the last war, there was much talk about the sacrifices made by our young sons in France and Belgium, while those at home had it easy; made big money; scarcely knew what sacrificing meant. Taxes at home were comparatively light. War costs were piled on war costa, the great bulk of it shoved ahead for a later generation to pay. “In the last war, volunteers flowed steadily across the ocean and conscripts followed until this sparsely populated country had some five hundred thousand men in uniform. In this war we shall likely make a good showing insofar as man power is concerned, but the emphasis will necessarily be placed on the effort to beat the enemy down the economic way. And that means that while fewer Canadians may make sacrifices overseas, those of us at home are certainly going to know there is a war on. “Don't overlook this. When the Canadian govern­ ment declared the policy of 'Pay As You Go’, there was grim determination to stick to that policy. It •will mean that every citizen will be expected to shoulder his share of the cost in proportion to the wealth he has. It will mean too that there will be no high and fancy priqps for war goods and war services. It will mean simply that as much as possible of this year’s cost of this war must be met with funds which come in from national income this year. "It is altogether likely that before the war is over Canada will match the war effort of Great Britain and use as much as 45 per cent of the national income for government purposes, including war. And when you consider that national income is the sum total of everything we produce in the country, you will get a real picture of just what a sacrifice that will mean for all of us. “You can also realize what a task your government has in directing all this. With very high taxes made necessary, your officials at Ottawa must at the same time see that the goose that lays the golden egg is not destroyed. In other words, industry cannot be taxed to a point where that industry cannot carry on its vital services toward the war effort. The whole community must be kept in a healthy financial state to support the common effort. Price changes must be kept in check, wages kept up to living cost. “And in light of this, you can see more clearly perhaps the reason for the impatience displayed by the government members when well meaning citizens put forward all sorts of revolutionary schemes which would fool around with our monetary system at the very time that our financial structure must be kept as steady as a rock. Their attitude might be summed up this way: There’s a job to be done now. Bring on your untried schemes after the war is won.’ “I’ve sketched this situation for you as a back­ ground for the war loan proposition. You will realize, of course, that no matter how cheaply the government buys its materials and services for this war, no mat­ ter how stiff the taxation is, no matter how determ­ ined the government is to ‘pay-as-you-go’ there will still be a margin between what the government must spend to beat Hitler and what it will get in current revenue. And there you have the reason Jor this issue of bonds. f “Avoiding the mistakes of the last war, Canada will limit its borrowing to absolute essentials and its citizens will be asked to do tltV lending from their savings at a reasonable rate of interest, so that when Armistice has been celebrated and the boys'-come home, thh Dominion will still be sending on its own feet’under no" financial obligation to outside nations and ready for the post war task of building up a nation, stronger and more vigorous than ever before.” Poultry in Literature and Daily Life There b an artist, an artist in words, in the Depart­ ment of Agriculture who has been sending out appeals not only to farmers but to all and sundry to do everything possible to raise food in time of war. His latest eall is to get busy with the egg basket. People generally are fond of poultry. It must be because of their beauty and the very real contribu­ tion they make to the domestic commissary, for nature has not endowed them with very much in the way of brains, and of affection they never betray very much either. Most of us—at any rate those brought up in the country—have had quite an ex­ perience with poultry. Just plain hens we used to call them. How guilty we felt as we sat down to breakfast and the maternal inquiry came: “Have you fed the hens yet?” With a chip on the shoulder and visioning the porridge bowl growing cold meanwhile, we made for the back door to feed those blessed hens. Yet hens are a valuable adjunct of the human scheme of things and the writer we speak of makes such an irresistible appeal in this time of war that surely we shall have to do something about it. Evi­ dently he knows his Bible; read what he says: “In the social customs, religion, and literature of all nations from time immemorial, poultry has played an important part, particularly in literature. Among the best known references is that to the hen and the gathering of the chickens under;her wings in Mat­ thew, Chapter 23, Verse 37, and the stark drama of the cockcrow also referred to in Matthew, Chapter 26, Verses 74 and 75. “In the English language poultry references and phrases are numerous. For example, there ara birds of a feather, in full feather, showing the white feather, (from the assumption that no game cock has a white feather); feather on oar (from the mot­ ion of a bird's wing); feather his nest; fine feathers make fine birds; feather in your cap (from the old custom of adding a feather to headdress for every enemy slain); cut a feather (said when a boat travels fast); chicken hearted; she’s no chicken; don’t count your chickens before they are hatched; fussy as a hen with one chicken; a hen party; hen-pecked (from the fact that a rooster is a brave bird at large but is frequently under hen government.__and well pecked at that in the coop); hen and chickens, a very old name from the Pleiades, the “Seven Sistere”, by which the Romans were said to have steered on their first voygge to invade Britain, and then (here is a whistling maid and a crowing hen are neither fit for gods nor men.” LOOKING BACK 23 YEARS From the Files of The Oxford Tribune, Ingersoll, Canada, Thursday, Jan. 11th, 1917 The 1916 council met Monday in final session at ten o’clock, for the purpose of closing the year’s bus­ iness as far as it affected the retiring board. The new council for 1917 held its first regular meeting on Monday evening. Mayor J. V. Buchanan on opening the meeting requested the singing of the National Anthem.

HEALTH LEAGUE ofCANADA The widespread mortality from cancer has been responsible for many years for the exploitation of fake “cures," one of the most inter­ esting being a fraud in the United States that shows the perseverance of those who prey upon the gullible. It is known as the “Stroopal fraud, ’ >vhich recently has had to have Gov­ ernment attention after being under the ban nine years. The Stroopal cancer cure fraud originated in Germany many yean ago. It consisted of three powders to be taken at monthly intervals. When it is considered that many otherwise intelligent country people are still convinced that a calf should be weaned and the potatoes planted at certain phases of the moon and when many City people exhibit superstition in other ways, it is not surprising, perhaps, that the Stroopal idea found acceptance. At all events, after the business was forbidden in Germany and the headquarters transferred to England, a branch was opened in Chicago and for nearly twenty years it was able to carry on a profitable trade. Most of the American business was dir­ ected to Americans of German des­ cent, for much of the advertising was printed in German script As far back as 1913, it was known that Stroopal was nothing more than powdered leaves of wood garlic but it was not until 1930 that action was taken against the company. Then it was shown that the advertised “certificates of merit" were utter fakes and the stuff was dangerous to health. After the importation of Stroopal was barred, it was smuggled into the United States as “metal cleaning powder." Then the promoters conceived the idea of operating the fraud from London, England, still finding victims in the United States. This year's order by the U. S., Post Office De­ partment closes the Stroopal concern of England to the mails. Letters addressed to the Company are now returned to the senders marked 1‘fraudulent” and postmasters are warned not to issue postal money orders to the Stroopal concern. Press reports in London havenamed the Earl of Elgin as a possible successor to Lord Tweeds-muir as governor-general of Can­ada. Lord •Tweedsmuir’s termexpires this year. WluftkU'latlJt’ikouUlMYOUR BANK A Fanner’s Philosophy It is Refreshing at times to turn from the war news in^laily papers to, the far from war-like stories in the agricultural press. With' a censorship, one fears that what Is published in relation to the war may not be a complete story, and thus each scrap of news be­ comes the basis for speculation about the Jruth be­ hind it. As an intellectual exercise, this search for truth is as healthy as working out cross-word puzzles, but less rewarding, because there is nothing to indi­ cate the right answer. The pages of the agricultural press picture another world. The names of Adolf Hitler or Joseph Stalin have little significance there, unless bychance they have been bestowed on prize hogs. Much more im­ portant are such names as Klaymore Royal, Macdon­ ald Dorothy or Johanna Pabst Rag Apple. The names seem strange to a city man, but to breeders of Short­ horns, Ayrshire# and Holstein# they are important and full of meaning. ’ Their pictures, reyeal a pride of race based on real achievement. They are content with their lot, unworried about war or economics.World politics does not affect 'thoir primary duty of supplying milk and beef and leather to the humanrace. ' _It may be that the inherent sanity of the average Canadian farmer cornea from his association with the animals who hold themselves aloof from the turmoil of the world. He is not free from cause for worry, but he always has so much to do that his time for worry is restricted. He comes, no doubt, to accept The rinks of curlers to .play for the “Seldon Trophy” are: R.

STERILIZATION OF DISHES A correspondent, having in mind the protection of the lives .and health of our recruited men, writes to ask: “Can you recommend a-safe and convenient disinfectant for the cleansing of dishes, drinking vessels, knives,’forks and other table uten­ sils? Is there any simple chemical which could be used for this purpose? Answer: Sterilization of dishes and so on by means of chemicals is not satisfactory. In the first place it is well-nigh impossible to bring the chemical into intimate contact with the germs of disease that may be found on dishes, knives, and other table utensils. The dangerous germs may be covered by or imbedded in remnants of food, grease and other insoluble materials. The use of chemical disinfectants is a very poor way by which to sterilize dishes. Most chemical disinfectants arc ex­ pensive, (ip war time.) Ofter they are offensive to the smell and unices carefully selected, they may be dan­ gerous. There is one safe, cheap and satis­ factory method of disinfecting dishes and table utensils, namely by the useoL-fioiling water or live steam. It is simple, rapid and completely effective. No chemical approaches it; if fire is available, boiling water or live steam may always be had. First War Loan Ottawa, Jan. 5, 1940—In prepar­ ation for Canada’s first war loan effort of the new world war, a Na­ tional War Loan Committee and a National Subscription Committee are in process of formation across Can- rda, and wilt be organized in time for the initial effort on the economic war front. The National War Loan Commit­ tee, under the chairmanship • of th* Hon. J. L. Ralston, K.C., M.P., Min­ ister of Finance, will be composed of five former Ministers of Finance, Canada’s nine Provincial Treasurers, and more than 200 representative citizens, resident from coast to coast. The five former Ministers of Finance are: the Rt_ Hon. Sir Thomas White, the Hon. Sir Henry Drayton, the Rt Lon. R. B. Bennett, the Hon. E. N. Rhodes and the Hon. Chas. A. Dun­ ning. The nine Provincial Treasurers are: Hon. Thane A. Campbell, P.E. I.; Hon. Angus L. Macdonald, Nova Scotia; Hon. C. T. Richard, New Brunswick; Hon. J. A. Mathewson, Quebec; Hon. Mitchell F. Hepburn, Ontario; Hon. Stuart S. Garsan, Man­ itoba; Hon. W. J. Patterson, Sas­ katchewan; Hon. Solon E. Low, Al­ berta; and Hon. John Hart, British Columbia. Mr. Dunning has also accepted the chairmanship of the National Sub­ scription Committee, which will assist the National War Loan Committee, and will be concerned with the se­ curing of larger subscriptions of a national character. It will be respon­ sible for organizing the work of canvassing the larger institutions and corporations, in addition to stimulating the broader sale of the bonds to the public. This committee will have the active co-operation of investment dealers throughout Can­ ada, a number of whom have al­ ready done considerable work in the preliminary organization. The First War Loan will provide Canadians as a whole, with their first opportunity to participate in Canada’s war effort. To enable every­ one to subscribe, it is indicated that bonds will have denominations as low as 350 each for smaller sub­ scriptions. In announcing the acceptance by Mr. Dunning of the chairmanship of the National Subscription Commit­ tee, Mr. Ralston said, “Canada is in- • deed fortunate that Mr. Dunning has agreed to undertake this important task. His experience* as Minister of Finance and also in connection with the Victory Loan campaigns during the last war make him the ideal man for the job." Sergeant—“Any of you men got a dirty uniform?" Private (hoping for a now uni­ form!)—“Yes, sergeant, look at me." Sergeant—“You'll do.

One Mascot Sailed “No Mascots” "was the effect of an order to all units of the First Divis­ ion of the Canadian Active Service Force, and apparently, only one lot got away with a modest infraction of the rule, a lively Airedale pup scrambling past some one’s blind eye. The Airedale had been smug­ gled into the port of embarkation by an Ontario Scottish unit. There are stringent quarantine regulations across the seas and it. is highly prob­ able the pup will have an enforced stay “Somewhere.’’ This was in strong comparison with the sailing; of the First Contingent of the Canadian Expeditionary Force in 1914. No unit was complete with­ out its mascot and the fleet assemb­ led in Gaspe Basin sheltered a varied assortment of dogs, big and little, bear cubs and goats. This Noah's Ark contingent was promptly gath­ ered up on arrival in England but even that di attic measure failed to diminish the army's faith in animal mascots. Manager—Don’t waste time on her.

Newman Funeral Home, King street west, Ingersoll, on Tuesday after­ noon. Service was conducted at ‘ 3.15 o’clock by Rev. Charles D. Dan­ iel, minister of Trinity United Church. Temporary entombment was made in the mausoleum at the Inger­ soll Rural Cemetery. The service was largely attended by relatives of the family from many out of town centres, as well as by former .local friends. There .were a great many beautiful floral tributes, which bore testimony to the esteem in which the deceased was held by a very wide circle of friends and acquaintances. The pall bearers were Messrs. John G. Smith, Robert I. Smith, D. G. Cuthbertson, George W. Wood, E. H. Hugill and Dr. R. A. Williams. Deceased was a daughter of Mrs. Samuel Rumford of Detroit, and the late Samuel Rumford of Ingersoll. She was born at Forest and came here with her parents, when a young girl. Her father for a number of years operated a harness shop here and she received her education in the Ingersoll schools. At the time of her marriage to William Gibson, Mr. Gib­ son operated a jewelry business in the store at present occupied by Goffin’s barber Shop on Thames street. Mr. and Mrs. Gibson were members of the King Street Metho­ dist Church before leaving for Chi­ cago, between forty and forty-one years ago. Mr. Gibson entered the jewelry business in Chicago when he first went there and today is head of one of the largest jewelry stores in | that city and is alsb president of the Retail Jewelers’ Association of America. Mrs. Clbson took ill on Thursday last but her condition was not thought to be serious, in fact prepar­ arations were being made to leave this week to spend the winter in Florida. She was stricken with a heart attack early Saturdy evening and death followed quickly. Surviving besides her husband, are her mother, Mrs. Samuel Rumford, 83 years of ago, who came to Inger­ soll from Detroit to attend the fun­ eral, two brothers and two sisters. The body left Chicago Monday evening at 10.45 o’clock, arriving here Tuesday at 12.45 noon, via C. N.R.

CONTINUOUS ADVERTISING John Wannamaker, founder of the John Wannamaker Store, Philadelphia, was the first ad­ vertising genius in the retail advertising field. In addition to the novelty of his advertis­ ing, he kept persistently at it: He said once: "Continuous advertising, like continuous work, is most effect­ ive. If there is any enter­ prise in the world that a quitter should leave alone, it is ad­ vertising. Advertising does not jerk, it pulls. It begins very gently at first but the pull is steady. It increases day by day, year after year, until it exerts an irresistible power. To discontinue your advertising is the same as taking down your sign. If you want to do busi­ ness, you must let the public know it I would as soon think of doing business without clerks as without advertising."

Betty had come down with her young husband and her adorable baby. "The baby,” Betty had told Anneduring the second week after herarrival, “is utterly superfluous in a place like this. He doesn't know he has a mother.” Anne laughed, but her heart wasshaken because all about her babieswere being brought up that way.She had thought life could have no more fears for her. but now she was afraid because the things thathad seemed a part of her life whenshe lived with Vicky were becom­ing less and less important as shewas caught in the swing of frantic frivolity. At the moment the Lanvale break­fast was on her mind, and a -danceat the club on St. Valentine's Day.She was waiting for her guests. The tables were set in the grovewhich surrounded the house.Her father, who stood beside heron the porch, asked, "Happy Anne?” "I'm not sure.” "Why not?"“Oh, sometimes 1 think it isn t all— real. Daddy.”"I know Would you rather gohome5”"Not unless we could have Vicky with us.""Vicky can’t come until June.After a moment he asked. "Whatabout Garry? Aren't you and herushing it a bit?""There’s nothing in it. Daddy. Not reallv.” aVet Anne wondered, as she wentdown to meet the first arrivals, ifshe were really telling the truth about Garry. After breakfast they played con­tract. There were marvelous prizes. Betty Lanvale said on leaving,"Everybody is talking about you,Anne. I should think your headwould be turned.” "Perhaps it is. Perhaps it will turn all the way 'round, and then I shallbe sensible again.”Betty moved on, and after a timeAnne was alone with Garry. "What do you say to a swim?” he askedher. "I’d love it,” and Anne went offto come back as a nymph in green.It was cool and delicious to befloating under that amethyst sky. They were silent until Garry said,"In a few days I shall be goingback. Anne.”"Back whert?” "Home. There are some incometax matters that the bank can't fixup without me.”"Oh. stick around. Garry, untilafter St. Valentine's. I want you at my party. I have a new gown—pink with lace paper frills like aValentine, and silver hearts strungall over it.” "Do you really want me. Anne?” She hedged a bit. “I want you atmy party.”"In other words. I'm good enoughto dance with, but not to marry . .“I’m not talking about marriage." "Well, I am. But we can't talk about it here, Anne. Let's swim toshore and thrash it out."“I don t want ,0 ‘hrash it out." But he swam away from her strongly and presently she followedhim. Garry, sitting beside her on the beach said,’’Can’t you love me a lit-tie. darling?""I love you a lot. but not thatway." He sat for a time digging moodilyin the sand, then he said. “Youcan't go on like this for the rest ofyour life." “Like what?" "Thinking of Charles Patterson.No one has meant a tiling to yousince that day at your school when I was such an idiot. You can’t go onwearing your heart out for a manwho is married."*I’m not wearing my heart out." “You are, But it’s futile. Anne.

Garry was youhgr and" gay.They’d dance through life together.Like Betty Lanvale and Bates. Likeall the others. ' Garry, aware of her indecision, didnot press his advantage. ‘Til stayover for the dance." he said, and laidhis hand lightly on hers. “I want tosec you in the pink dress.” On the night of the dance Garrywore a courtier’s suit, with ringleufalling over his shoulders, and hecarried a Cupid’s bow and arrow.

The cocoanut palms along the edgeof the water shivered in the littlewind. Little ducks slept on the se­rene surface.And it was the little ducks that saved Anne.

Anne, white-faced, read itand wondered what Charles woulddo,February passed and March. InApril Anne and her father madetheir way north. When they reached home Anne found a ’ letter fromCharles. It bore a London postmark.“I am free at last, Anne, but Ifeel tired and old. And you areyoung, with life before you.

No word of his com­ing. No promise (or the future. Anne, still trembling with the emo­tion which the sight of his familiarscript had roused, felt as if a physi­cal blow had been dealt her, deaden­ ing her faculties."What shill I do?" she wrote to Vicky,Ana Vicky wrote: “Wait."In the days that followed Anne,picking up her life as best she could, went restlessly from one thing toanother. But living had lost iUsavor.At hit she wrote to Charles, tell­ing him that she was -unchanged,that her heart waited. The lettermust have reached him. for it did not come back, but there was noanswer.

She saw only the Uli figurecoming toward her.When at last they returned toreality, Charles made coffee for her and drank his from her cup.“Why my cup?” she asked, and helaughed a little.“It’s a kind of sacrament"She, too, laughed. She had cried at first—in his arms. Great sobs that shook her, but she had stoppedwhen he had said, "Do you careenough to chance it, Anne?"“I care enough for anything.”"I was not sure you had forgivenme." She whispered, "Why did youmarry her?" “The day she came to me she toldme she was iU.

The question that troubled Vicky and Anne and Francis was of Anne'splans m the fall Francis was op­posed to her return to hex. school onthe beach. Vicky wavered betweenAnne’s duty to her father and her duty to herself At last Anne hadsettled it. "Perhaps I'd better stayhere with Daddy," and no one knewhow she dreaded the winter and theseparation from Vicky, for Vicky would not stay."It,isn’t wise, my darling." shehad said when Anne came and satone night on the bed and beggedher. “My day here is done."So things went on until August By day the air was hot and still, butthere was the fragrance of new cuthay, the lazy songs of birds. And atnight a coolness would come with a gentle breeze and the stars would bewhite in the wide, dark sky, andwhen the moon rose it was deepgold and hung heavy above the trees. It was on such a night, whileAnne sat on the steps with Jerryand Francis and Vicky p laved chessin the room beyond, that a maid came out with a letter. "A man leftit at the back door for you. MissAnne" Anne took the letter and snapped on the light of a porch lamp thatshe might read it. And when shehad read, the strength went out ofher body. For the letter was from Charles "I am here, my dear, in themeadow where I first met you.Will you come?” That was all, except his name. But it was enough. Anne found her­ self in another moment standing inthe door of the living room and say­ing with elaborate carelessness,“it's hot, I'm going to walk in the garden.” _ But she did not walk. She ran.Through the garden and up the lit­tle hill and past the great oak. She stopped on the crest of the hill and TO SERVICE on the Economic Front "Materials and money count for to much tn this war that a resolute, loyal and enthusiastic economic front line may be the determining factor." To your restless question "When can I help win this war?" — the answer is NOW. On Monday next, the Government of the Dominion of Canada will offer the First War Loan. The purpose of this Loan is to provide money to carry on the war, not only on the battlefields, but all along the Economic Front. Let us explain what the Economic Front means. It means a war in which the entire natural, industrial and financial resources of the country are used to defeat the enemy. It means a "total war” in which every citizen takes a part, in which his personal resources must support those of the Nation. In such a war, one of the chief weapons is money. Where is this money to come from? There is only one answer. It must come — and come voluntarily — from the savings of our people. The difference between us and the Germans is that we, of our own free will, lend our money — it is not ruthlessly taken away. This is your opportunity to do,your part in this struggle against Hitlerism. The eyes of the world are upon you, upon Canada, one of the strongest members of the British Commonwealth. Canadians must show that their strength, their courage and their resources are all in this fight against "brute force, bad faith, injustice, aggression and persecution.’* The news of the success of this Loan must go ringing round the world. Be ready to buy War Loan Bonds. They will have the proven safety and salability of Dominion of Canada obligations. Any Investment Dealer or Chartered Bank will take your subscription. The quicker the economic war is won, the greater will be the saving of human lives ... the swifter the collapse of the enemy. T HE G O V E RN M E N T OF THE DO M IN IO N OF CA NA DA John E.

With the objective of maintaining highest standards of service to own­ ers of Ford products, the company is sponsoring these schools in its seven branches acioss Canada and at the main plant in Windsor, Ontario. The schools are open to members •f the service departments in dealer­ ships and it is expected that all dealer service men will be given this special service training. The school is now' 'being conducted at the branch plant there under the direction of *G. R. Eaton, branch service manager. Instructors, equip­ ped with all necessary assemblies and tools, teach classes of 12 men. These classes will continue as long as there is sufficient enrollment. ■ Greatest emphasis in the 1940 service training is placed on the ser­ vicing of the mechanical features and improvements which contribute so the riding comfort and driving stability of the 1940 Ford, Mercury and Lincoln-Zephyr cars. Particular attention is being paid to the improvements incorporated in steering, chassis springs, shock ab­ sorbers, torsion bar ride stabilizer, finger-tip gear shift,-seat cushion de­ sign and the many other body and chassis changes which have rnide the riding qualities of the 1940%ro- ducts outstanding. ' I ' In addition, the schools will\pro- tide complete mechanical training to cover the servicing of all new fea­ tures introduced this year throughout the full range of Ford products. The schools will also serve as refresh­ er courses for mechanics on the ser­ vicing of Ford products generally, and a.part of the training will cover rhe need of educating owners on the proper-servicing of their cars if the best performance results are to be obtained. This section of the course includes trailing in regular check­ ups for owners and in the use of special equipment for the complete tune-up of motors. Housebold FinanceCorporation of CanadaMr. A. P. Reid, Vice-Praaident andGeneral Manager of Central FinanceCorporation, the leading -«aaU loanscompany in Canada, has issued the following statement forecasting a company program of marked expan­ sion to coincide with the coming into effect January 1st. of the new Can­ ada Small Loans Act: “When the Dominion Parliament at its 1999 session passed the Canada Small Loans Act. it did so with the full eo-operation and support of Central Finance Corporation. Know­ ing there is need for a national ser­ vice to borrowers such as we have been giving in Ontario for the past eleven years, and in view of the sal­ utary effect of the new Act upon the small loans industry in Canada, we are entering 1940 with a three point program of expansion. “We are opening offices for the first time in Montreal, Winnipeg, Vancouver and Victoria. These we expect to have in full operation by February 1st. “We are making it possible for borrowers to secure Household loans as low as *20.00 instead of our prev­ ious minimum of *50.00. The max­ imum of *500.00 remains the same. “We are assuming the name of our parent company and will here­ after be known as Household Fin­ ance Conporation of Canada. We believe the new name more accur­ ately describes our type of business. “Some idea of the demand for a clean cut and helpful small loan ser­ vice in Canada may be gained when it is realized that in the period June 1st, 1936 to Nov. 30th, 1939, inclu­ sive, we made 156,280 loans through fifteen branch offices in Ontario alone for a total of *26,313,408.00. Operating under Dominion charter and supervision since its inception in 1928, Central Finance Corporation has grown ns the need for its servi­ ces has developed. Exhaustive Par­ liamentary inquiries clearly demon­ strated such need and Parliament it­ self has taken steps, in the form of the Canada Small Loans Act, to guarantee to borrowers -the lowest cost (personal loan) i^rvice yet proved workable anywhere in the world. “The loan shark is busy packing hir> bag and preparing his exit We have repeatedly assured Parliamen­ tary committees that with proper legislation illegal lending woujd be supplanted by legal loan facilities. We are now endeavoring to imple­ ment those promises by serving dis­ tricts not previously served by legi­ timate small iloan agencies and by making smaller loans to that class of people who formerly had no altern­ ative but to patronize the salary buyer.” Now the big blue Greyhounds, the finest coaches in America, bring the traditionally dependable Grey­ hound service to many more centres in this part of Ontario. From Windsor and Sarnia, on the west, to Toronto and Buffalo, on the east, they are now operating over 765 miles of highway, providing the world's most up-to-date motor coach transportation. The spacious new terminal at Windsor is the first step in an extensive program of modernization which will result in the Ontario Greyhound service becoming one of the outstanding divisions of the far-flung international Greyhound travel system. Ingersoll Depot - ST. CHARLES HOTEL Phone 520 To oar new patrons in the territory along fishways 2 and 8 we can assure a revelation in travel comfort when they ride the new Greyhound cruiser coaches. Passengers sit higher, thus obtaining a much better view of the scenery; and because of the advanced design, including engine in the rear, there is no vibration. Improved declining chairs are adjustable to three positions, for full comfort no matter how you wish to sit. And in every other respect these modern, air-conditioned coaches are the last word. Ride Greyhound—there is a difference. And, of course, fares are always low. > i jA Canadian Company Since 1930 I keep young by using Dr. Chase's Nerve Food LEGIONNOTES Announcement that the Canadian Legion War Services will make an appeal in February for *500,000 with which to carry on its important work among the Dominion's fighting men undoubtedly will be sympathe­ tically received by the general public.

In their war-time effort to not only maintain but in many cases to increase the production of grain on Ontario farms in 1940, the Ontario Department of Agriculture has asked every Agricultural Representative to make a comprehensive- survey in his particular county of available seed grain supplies. This report must be in the hands of the Department by January 17th. “We want to find out how much good seed grain there is in the prov­ ince and get it moved this winter into the hands of the farmers for sowing next Spring,” said W. R. Reek, Deputy Minister of Agriculture ifr-commenting on the survey. “We have received reports from some sec­ tions that grain suitable for seeding purposes is being fed to live stock- This grain should be saved for seed and cheaper grain fed.” Mr. Reek pointed out that under war conditions, Ontario will have to produce every possible bushel per acre. One way this can be done is through the use of good seed which tests have shown over a period of years to be much superior to ordin­ ary seed. Tn this drive for better and larger grain crops, farmers can aid by noti­ fying their Agricultural ’Representa­ tives of their seed grain supplies and their own particular needs. Sow Oats Suitable To Your District Continuing' its drive for increased war-time grain production in 1940, the Ontario Department of Agricul­ ture is advising all farmers to con­ tact the Agricultural Representative in their own county as to the variety of oat that wffl give them the great­ est number of bushels per acre in their own particular area. Much has been heard, and will be heard of the Vanguard and the Er- ban oat. In some districts and under certain soil conditions the Vanguard is superior, while in other sections the Erban tops Vanguard. x This is where the Agricultural Representa­ tive can be of untold value to the farmer. As a result of grain variety experiments on 367 farms in Ontario in 1939, the Agricultural Representa­ tive is in a position to give excellent advice on varieties that will do well in given districts. It will pay any fanner to consult him. The Vanguard is a late oat, resist­ ant to stem rust and has done well in the majerity o( Eastern Ontario counties. The Erban is a medium early oat and is resistant to crown of leaf rust. The Department bf Agriculture also points out that farmers who have produced heavy crops from other varieties and who’see no reason to change, should, make sure they get the best possible seed of that variety. Included in this list would be O.A.C. No. 72, Victory, Alaska, Cartier and O.A.C. No. 3.
