ANNUAL REPORT
OF THE INGERSOLL
PUBLIC LIBRARY
During 1939 over 1153 books were
sided to the Ingersoll Public Library.
Of these, over seven hundred were
fiction, over two hundred non-fiction,
about two hundred juvenile. Between
nine and ten thousand books were
read by the boys and girls of the
town, and because of the increased
use of this division it is hoped in the
near future to enlarge this section.
While there has been a slight de
crease in fiction reading among the
adult readers, the figures for non
fiction still show a steady interest in
this type of book. Biography and
Travel continue to take first place,
but books on handicrafts and tech
nical subjects are in increasing de-
The total circulation for the year
was 47,389. This means that an
average of over nine books per per
son was read and in comparison with
others towns of similar size in the
province, this is unusually high.
During the year there were two
hundred and eighty who enrolled as
new members:.
The following outline gives the cir
culation of the various classes of
Earl Grey Harrington
Weds Ethel G. McIntyre
Harriet.ville—A very pretty wed
ding took place at the home of Mr.
and Mrs. Frank McIntyre on Satur

their daughter, Ethel Grace, became
the bride of Earl Grey Harrington,
son of Mr. and Mrs. Curtis Harring
ton of Dunnville. Rev. Mr. Shaw
officiated. The bride, given in mar
riage by her father, looked charming
in a gown of royal blue French
velvet with gold trimmings and
wort a shoulderette of pink and
white sweetheart roses. Her brides
maid was her sister, Mariel, gowned
in prune silk crepe, with silver trim
mings, with a shouMerette of bronze
’mums and baby breath. Mr. Allen
McIntyre supported the groom. The
wedding music was played by Miss
Amanda Cade. During the signing of
the register, Miss Cade sang, “The
Sunshine of Your Smile.”
For going away, the bride chose a
dress of bronze silk crepe, black coat
with squirrel trimming and black
accessories. They left for a honey
moon trip to Buffalo and on their re

KIWANIS CLUB HEARD
ADDRESSON BANKING
Professoi Ross Willis of Lon
don, Addressed Ingersoll
Club Meetings
President Alex. Yule was in charge
of the regular weekly meeting of the
Ingersoll Kiwanis Club, held at the
Ingersoll Inn Thursday evening. The
speaker was Prof. Ross Willis, Lon
don, of the business administration
department of the University of Wes
tern Ontario, who gave an interesting
address on the subject, ‘The Bank of
Canada in the time of War.* He was
introduced to the meeting by Kiwan-
ian Royden G. Start, K.C.
In opening his address, Professor
Willis said that at the present time,
it is utterly impossible to predict the
course of events in the world in view
of the dreadful conflict that is now
on.' But it is possible to see some
measure of calmness from an econ
omic point of view because of a
better balanced and more stable ec
onomic system of banking which the
country now has. He touched on the
background of the Bank of Canada
which as late as 15 years ago, was
not even broached as a possibility in
the country. Here in Canada, he
said, people are not accustomed to
the term ‘central banking*, which is
the pivot and centre of financial ec
onomy of any country. Referring to
the nationalistic policies of banking
and finance, the speaker said that
the people of Canada have been giv
ing more thought to the periodic fluc
tuations in the various countries of
the world and it is felt more keenly
now that banking is at the root and
core of thiflgs. The national con
science is turning more and more to
thoughts of banking and the effect
this will have on the life of the coun
try remains to be seen.
In closing, the speaker reminded
his hearers that the power of the
central bank is much more effective
m boom times than in times of Op
pression, because we are essentially
an exporting nation.
"During the years yet to come,
and because of the war situation, I
think we will see more of the effect
iveness of the Bank of Canada,” he
said.
The thanks of the club were ten
dered the speaker by Kiwanian Roy
W. Green.

Sanity in War Financing
Canada’" forthcoming war loan can readily ba
expected to match the pattern of financial policy that
will be universally recognized as sound, and one that
reflects the benefits of experience from the last
great war. Borrowing in this instance, is a means
only of bridging the margin between the amount of
money obtainable by taxes and the actual amount
needed to pay the costs of a government at war in
defence of freedom.
Recognizing the pitfalls of her experience in the
last war, Canada, on this occasion, is facing the
problem of war financing in forthright manner. Can
ada's financial machinery has enabled her to set a
course at the outset of the new world war that would
have been virtually impossible in 1914; it will enable
the Canadian people to avoid many of the demoral
izing consequences of war, and post-war readjust
ments, such as befell Canada and many other coun-
tries in the last great conflict.
This war is to be paid for, in so far as possible, as
it is fought, rather than to hazard a repetition of infla
tionary price movements spiralling to an inevitable
and expensive day of reckoning. For the past Z0
years, Canada and other countries have been paying
the price of inadequate machinery, lack of precedent
and foresight in financing the last war. Canada now
has a broad and comprehensive taxation system and
the financial machinery required for exercising the
control that is necessary to carry out a policy that
will finance the heavy expenditures involved under
wartime conditions without giving rise to unfortun
ate maladjustments and their inevitable aftermath.
In recent years, Canada has pursued a moderate
policy of expansion in company with the United
Kingdom, Sweden and certain other countries. In
consequence of that policy, Canada was able to re
verse the deflationary trend of the' early depression
years and to facilitate an expansion in national pro
duction and business activity that has been more
consistent and prolonged than in many other countries.
She has also effected a general reconstruction of her
debts through refunding loans at lower interest rates,
and has repatriated, during the last five years, over
$900 millions of Canadian debt held abroad. The net
result has been to effect a substantial decrease in the
cost of •Government debt and to strengthen greatly
Canada's credit position.
The new war loan, like probably all loans floated
by Canada during this war, will be on a domestic
basis. Canadians will provide the principal and re
ceive the interest. The debt will be owed to ourselves
in Canadian funds, and will, therefore, not give rise
to the difficult exchange problems and real burdens
to the country which are inherent in external bor
rowing. In borrowing within our country, the Gov
ernment hopes to see some of the real savings of
the people coverted into war loan bonds. The latest
available figures show a total of $1,734,800,000 of sav
ings accounts held by depositors in chartered banks,
the highest figure in the history of the Canadian
banking system. These deposits are held in over 4
million accounts, which probably means that one out
of about every three people in Canada has a savings
account. By converting real savings into war 'oan
bonds, the individual can make a vital contribution
to Canada's war effort, and at the same time secure
for himself a safe and profitable investment.
This is a democratic war by a democratic country,
and the war effort in every phase is organized and
conducted on a democratic basis. This shows up
dearly in the financial policy of the Government in
aiming to prevent shifting of national wealth and
income to particular groups or sections of the coun
try, which would be an undesirable feature of other
methods of financing the war. In announcing ita tax
ation policy, the Government has pledged itself to
the principle of equality of sacrifice on the basis of
ability to pay. In its borrowing to supplement taxa
tion, the Government is making every endeavour
to follow out this democratic principal, and by a
widespread appeal to give every citizen an opportunity to make a voluntary contribu/ion to the success
of the war effort by converting Mi* savings into WarLoan bonds. (
The loan is open to popular \>tfl>lic subscription.
Clearly the call is strong because the most emphatic
demand is the moral obligation of every citizen to
guard jealously the rights of freedom and shoulder
his share of the bonds just as thousands of other*
are shouldering arms.

Dr, G. I. Christie, president of the Ontario Agricul
tural College, in outlining the war task confronting
th* Canadian farmer, says it will consist of producing feed for the Allies,' growing products to replace
those that no longer can be imported and keeping
down the cost of living at home. “The cost of food
will not increase to anything like the extent it did in
the last war,” the .professor stated. “The fanner is a
-much more efficient producer than he was, not so
many yean ago.”
Wheat, pork products and cheese will be supplied
to the Allies in quantity. For borne consumption, the
fanner will produce fibre flax, linseed oil, sugar beets,
com and woollens imported. Sugar beet production
is one commodity that is to be materially stepped up
this year.
The marriage was solemnized on Wednesday morn
ing at the Methodist Church parsonage by Rev. L.

Battle Bowlers Madeof Powder—The familiar Army helmets, nick*named “battie bowlers”, may soon be
made of moulded powder instead of
steel.
This is only one of the war uses
for plastic materials, those versatile
products of synthetic resin which
have become jack-of-all-trades in
modern life by providing thousands
of articles for commerce and the
home—from electric switches and un
breakable crockery to truck wheels
and billiard balls.
Experiments with plastic materials
to replace “tin hats” are showing
that the helmets can not only be
cheaper, more quickly produced and
lighter in weight, but also stronger
than the steel helmet.
More than 120 different articles
are now being made for the war by
the British plastics industry. They
include bomb-release equipment,
cartridge cases, certain types of
bomb cases, rifle butts, mine-finding
equipment, Army badges, searahlight
control insulation, stocks for Bren
guns, aircraft propeller blades and
transparent hodding for gun turrets
in aeroplanes.
Britain's plastic trade is busy in
other directions. “Certain firms have
already reported that their exports
of moulding materials and products
were doubled during the first two
months of the war,” said an official
of the British Plastics Federation,
"nor is there any danger of its con
tinuance being imperilled because
plenty of skilled labour has been
specially “reserved’.”
“I understand that your vacation

Essential Factor*In Hog ProductionFor War' and PeaceNow and after the war the welfare
of the hog and bacon industry de
pends upon quality and low product
ion coats, urges the Agricultural
Supplies Board. Hog producers are
advised to combine quality with
economical production, a practice
that is sound in both war and peace
times. These essentials, the Board
points out, can be attained by choos
ing breeding stock with care, by
feeding properly, by marketing hogs
at suitable weight and finish, and by
following the best practices in swine
husbandry and herd management.
Producers are recommended to
prepare now for healthy and vigor
ous litter* by providing brood sows
with adequate care. The way the
pregnant sow is fed and managed
from breeding to farrowing has a
definite effect on th? , health and
vigour of the litter at farrowing.
Housing need not be elaborate, but
it should be dry and free from drafts
and bedding should be plentiful. A
first essential is exercise and it may
be necessary to force sows to
take sufficient exercise. One way of
encouraging this is to have the sleep
ing quarters some distance from the
feeding troughs.
With regard to feeding sows
should be kept in thrifty condition.
If the sow is too fat, uneven and
weak litters may result If too thin,
she will be unable to nurse the litter
properly. In some localities the feed
ing of minerals to pregnant sows is
necessary. Particularly is this so
where hairlessness has occurred or
where lime is known to be lacking.

AGRICULTURAL OUTLOOKFOR YEAR 1940By Hon. P. M. Dewan, OntarioMinister of Agriculture.
While farm revenue in 1939 show
ed little change from the previous
year, present indications are that
prices for farm products in 1940
will show increases. These may be
small in some case* but in other* they
are certain to be more substantial
than anticipated a few months ago.
When farm incomes do improve,
every effort should be made to con
serve and use these increased returns
to the best possible advantage. Farm
mortgages should be reduced and
farm surrounding* improved, rather
than unwarranted investments made
in more land at inflated values as was
the case in the last war.
In summing up agricultural con
ditions a year ago there was no an
ticipation of the anxiety which the
last months of 1939 would bring to
the people of Canada and the Brit
ish Empire.
War condition* have naturally up
set the ordinary calculation* of far
mers. They have brought about in
creased overseas demands for some
farm products and have reduced the
demands for others. With deep and
unwavering loyalty to the Mother
Country, we cannot and will not com
plain if sh^ requests concentrated
and essential foodstuffs rather than
those which require undue space in
transportation.
Altered market demands due to
war call for careful thinking and
planning for 1940. It is our sincere
hope that governments may be able
to give a fair and wise guidance in
the month* immediately before us.
In the universal urge to increase
production, we should stress quality
in every product—especially in bac
on and cheddar cheese.
Let us briefly review the present
agricultural outlook in Ontario.
Field Crop Baii*
Field crops are the basis of all
live stock production. With a war
time demand for bacon, cheese and
concentrated milk products, all of
which must reach Great Britain in
large quantities, the Ontario farmer
must first produce the field crops
with which to f?ed hogs, dairy and
beef cattle. He must wrest from the
soil every bushel of oats, barley and
mixed grains it will produce. He has
been under a handicap in the fall of
1939 owing to a lack of moisture.
But this handicap can be partially
offset by the use of good seed, the
judicious use of fertilizer and by
good cultivation in the Spring. We
may get a January thaw that will
provide sufficient moisture, for Spring
crops—and we may not. But good
seed, fertilizer and proper cultivation
provide a combination of immense
value in increasing crop production.
With the Mother Country's call for
a minimum of 4,480,000 pounds of
I bacon and ham per vyeek—with a
proviso that if sufficient supplies are
available, she will take up to 5,600,-
000 pound* per week—Ontario hog
producers have been most active in
increasing their-breeding stock. The
established price of 102 shillings per
long hundredweight,' (112 pounds),
is expected to average about $9.00
per cwt.'to the farmer and appears
satisfactory unless food prices ad
vance too rapidly. There may bo
some danger of this ownig to an ad
vancing wheat market ♦ which will
probably tarry other cereal prices
higher in sympathy.
At any rate there has been con
siderable activity lately in swine
breeding stock in Central and Wes
tern Ontario with many large ship
ments being made to Eastern On
tario as well as to Alberta and Sas
katchewan. It is naturally a matter
of pride to the Ontario Department

that this breeding stock has been
available for the western provinces.
Cheese Prices Up
There has been a decided rise in
the price of cheese since the first of
September and shipments to the Old
Country have increased. In October,
15,280,000 pounds were exported to
the United Kingdom as compared with
11,683,000 pounds in October of
1938. The diversion of milk from the
manufacture of butter to cheese in
1940 at a satisfactory price level
would do much to improve revenue
of dairy farmers who have been Buf
fering from low prices caused by
surplus butter production.
The demand for powdered and
evaporated milk has also increased
rapidly and wilPbe a factor in war
supplies on the food front. The
Netherlands and Denmark haye beeij
supplying 64 per cent of the world's
total volume of exports of condensed
and evaporated milk and their ex
ports will undoubtedly suffer aa a
result of reduced shipments of feed
stuff* and fertilizer reaching their
shores.
From personal observation in the
Old Country last summer, there was
-an'increasing demand for grade dairy
cattie. Regular shipments were being
made to Wales and Scotland and the
breeder* seemed pleased with these
foster mothers for their beef calves.
Shipments, of course, were discon
tinued at the outbreak of the war
but the market it is hoped, will be
there onee the conflict is over.
Too much emphasis cannot be laid
on the fact that quality must rule in
all overseas shipments of farm pro
ducts if this market is to be retained
for Canada after the war. Every
effort will be made by the smaller
dairy countries of Europe to capture
pre-war British trade for their own.

Canadian products must be of plea*,
ing high quality to keep Britisher*
breakfasting on Canadian bacon and
using dairy products at every meal in
post-war days.
It has been observed that in times
of rtrain r.nd stress there has been
an inci easing use of tobacco and it
is anticipated that two-thirds of the
Ontario crop of some 76,000,000
pounds will be used in our own coun
try. With a two shilling preference
in favor of Empire tobacco, to say
nothing of exchange rates as com
pared with United States, it is confi
dently hoped that British manufac
turers will gradually use more Can
adian tobacco.. But owing to the con
servation of the Old Country manu
facturer, no rapid increase in British
purchases can be expected.
Potato Production Lower
Potato production in Ontario in
1939 was about 4 per cent less than
last year’s small crop and has re
sulted in lower storage stocks in the
hands of growers. Purchase of seed
potatoes by farmers for planting in
1940 has been greatly in excess of
former years. Shipments have been
made to British Columbia and the
Maritimes have been enquiring for-
certified Katdhdins and the United
States for certified Chippewas. How
ever, an adequate supply is being
saved for Ontario use. The quality
of Ontario potatoes has been better
than in 1938 and prices to the growerare about 26 per cent higher than a'
year ago.
The commercial sugar beet crop in
Ontario was processed by the end of
the first week in December with th*
beets averaging over 17 per cent
sugar which calls for a considerable
bonus for sugar content.
While fall fruit prices were de
pressed owing to the sugar shortage.

surplus apples have been used for
processing and efforts have been
made to increase home consumption.
Exports of canned fruit and veget
ables to the United Kingdom have in
creased and - there should be a good
canning factory demand in 1940.
Taking all the available agricul
tural data into consideration, the out
look for the Ontario farmer is
brighter, increased demands for cer
tain farm products and improving
values will obviously prevail during
1940. Careful planning, however, is
essential. The war which has brought
about a temporary buoyancy of de
mand for farm commodities—will not
last forever.
To conclude, with words previously
used—“Let us build up farm pro
grammes that will have every element
of permanency and which will make
for progressive agriculture when the
war is over.”
At a public dinner the toast of

“HILLS OF DESTINY” is a love story that you will long
remember, presented against a background alive with thrilling
action—appealing—pleasing.
If Lee HoHister, half the world away, had not felt the tug of
nostalgia and started for home four months before he was ex
pected, a number of quite exciting things might never have hap
pened . .. Late afternoon foundXbe going steadily downward, not
on a direct grade, but in a rolling succession of low ridges, Hp
topped the crest of the last one and drew in . . . The flip of a
coin had decided it . . . Lee kept on and appeared on the scene
just when a strong hand and courageous heart were urgently
- needed . . . Then things began happening.
That’s the thumbnail of “HILLS OF DESTINY” in which
Miss iProvost tells a powerful story superbly well.

Chapter 1
The flip of a coin decided it. IfLee Hollister, listening to templebells on the edge of a tropical cityhalf a world away, had not felt that
tug of homesickness "for wind sweptplains and the tang of sage, spun asmall silver product of the UnitedStates mint and started for homefour months before he was expected,a number of quite exciting things
might never have happened.Even then, if he had continuedstraight on to Saunders by the noonlocal, as any reasoning adult mightbe expected to do instead of boltingout of the train three stations downthe line, several other matters wouldat least have taken a notably different course.Word of his arrival, for instance,would surely liavc trickled on aheadof him. Gideon Morse, that neat,
sleek little man. undoubtedly wouldhave dispatched a telegram eastmuch sooner than he actually did.and from that moment would havekept an unobtrusive eye on themovements of this energetic youngman to whom the Circle V ranchhad been home for twenty years andMatt Blair something more than afather.But the coin had spun, not oncein that far-off city but again on theclanking local two hours away from
Sounders, and Lee riot only got offthree stations ahead of his destination, but immediately proceeded tomake new and quite different arrangements for moving on.The town's one hotel received
him, and he changed from neat blueserge, to disreputable old trousersand a flannel shirt and went outagain, a'nd down the sunbakedstreet A horse was located andbargained for. with an eye for points.
A second-hand saddle followed;minor purchases were made here andthere.When the job was finished thestranger in town clothes had disappeared. and in his place was a brown
young man in a big Stetson whomight have been any wanderingcowboy from the back ranges, or ayoung rancher in town for she day.Long before the train that h«?hzdleft was whistling for Saunders Sta
tion. Lee Hollister was on his way.He rode easily, with the grace oflong custom, picking up familiar
fashionable schools that an indulgent father had given her.The warmth vanished in a puzzled frown. Over on the left his
ranging eye had caught sight of awide ugly slash on the timberedslope. That was odd. Timber wastoo valuable to be wasted. Mattnever cut that way. That strip waswastefully cut. with high stumps
like the snapped-off masts of awrecked ship. Lee's sharpenedglance flicked toward the valleyagain. Down there he had seen asmall bunch of cattle, perhaps fiftyor sixty. That also was unusual.The Circle V cattle always rangedthe hills at this jlme of the year.Lee wheeled his horse abruptly,retraced his way for a short distance
and started zigzagging downward.The slope dropped abruptly, withsharp turns and jutting angles, andtalus that slid beneath his horse’sfeet. Over to the right a black holeyawned. That was the mouth of theold Bonanza mine, long since aban
doned. where one lucky gold pockethad given Matt Blair and his partner their first start and had broughthordes of other men to stake claims.That hillside had echoed once to
the sound of voices, the blows ofpicks and the sullen boom of blasting, as men burrowed feverishly forthe gold that was never found again.Matt owned it all now. not somuch for its value—it wouldn’t have
brought twenty cents an acre—butbecause it was a relic of the old days.The old Bonanza was behind Lee.the last steep turn of the trailbrought him into a small gorge. Lee
suddenly gave a scarcely audiblegrunt.A man was coming toward him,riding close to the fringe of cadar.as if keeping out of view. He wasa big, loosely built man. with a long,
wolfish face and .bulky shoulders.His stare of recognition carried aswift surprise and a flare of something else, quickly hidden. Then herode forward with a grin whichshowed discolored teeth.
“Hello. Lee. You back?”“Looks like it. Hello. Slanty.”The reply was civil and no more.Lee Hollister did not Jike SlantyGano and Slanty knew it. He wasshifty and evasive, as oblique in hismethods as in his name. A good
worker when he wanted to be. hewas too lazy and quarrelsome to
her*. don't ye? he muttered sourly.“Matt Blair's little pet I"
Lee rode on slowly. Severalthings were puzzling him. the waste
ful timber slash, the little evidencesof mismanagement, the presence ofSlanty Gano on Circle V land, slinking through that fringe of cedar asthough he did not wish to be seen.
Three years ago Matt had runSlanty off the Circle V for abusinga horse, and Slanty had given it awide berth ever since.
The ranch house came into dearer
vityv, sprawling comfortably on itscommanding knoll Just ahead wasthe big moment for which Lee hadplanned, but somehow he hesitated.Lee grinned and swung his horse to
the right Five minutes later theranch buildings were completelyblocked from view and the buckskinwas threading his way down theslope of a little ravine where a slim
finger of the creek ran.
About a third of the way down acabin stood, its logs weathered greyby many seasons. In a bare stripbeyond it a tittle old man was just
straightening from a stooping posture.
“Whee-eel Joeyl Yipl Yip!"
“Lee Hollister!1 Hi-yi-yil Leet”
The whoop from the head of theravine was answered by a thin, shrillnote; the old man scrambledandslid and ran. They met almost infront of the grey cabin.
“Ye doggone young scallawag!"Joey’s voice squeaked treacherously.“Time ye was back, dang yoreornery hide. Where ye been all thistime? Couldn't even write a line,like any ftccnt folks would, could
ye?"
A flashing grin came. “I neverwas much for writing. Joey; youknow that. Just got here. I haven'teven, seen Matt yet"
Joey flinched as though someonehad dealt him a solid blow.“I forgot.” He swallowed visibly."Ye ain't heard—about things here.”“Heard what? What’s the matter,Joey?”
Joey gulped again. His voice wasa dry husk of sound.“Matt—Matt’s gone.”“Gone! Look here, Joey, youdon’t mean that Matt is —”
He couldn't quite finish it Joeynodded heavily.
A quack doctor was expounding
upon the magic healing powers of a
certain herb that he compounded.

"Jimson,” said her father, “I have
given you the greatest possession I
have ever had—it will be a great
blow to me to lose her. I shall miss
her greatly.”
Jimson thanked him immensely and
after a drink said he must be going.
“As it’s raining torrents,’’ said Jim
son, “I wonder if you would be so
kind as to lend me your umbrella?”
The old man looked at the umbrella
stand. “Look here, Jimson,” he said,
“I wouldn’t trust anyone on earth
with that umbrella. It cost me ten

Bv late afternoon he had left thehigh desert for the twilight of a
narrow canyon whose ragged wallsloomed six hundred feet above thecanyon floor. He camped there forthe night.
In the morning he started on
again, dp a thread of trail thathugged the canyon wall, out againon an open flat, and over a ridgewhere the cedar and pinion gaveway to slim pine.
The far side of the ridge slanteddown to a tiny mountain meadow.There was water there, and he dismounted, eased the cinches to resthis horse and set about to appease a
healthy hunger. Moving easily andlightly, he merged into his surroundings as naturally as the tall straightpines back of him or the brownneedle carpet beneath. He was talland straight himself, a full six feet
of smoothly coordinated muscle,with a keenly modeled/profile, blackeyes that saw much/and betrayedlittle, and a lean young face thatsun and wind had finished in a
warm brown. K
He was not in the least concernedthat there were people, plenty ofpeople, who would think him a lunatic to waste two days and part of arailroad ticket in order to take thelongest and roughest way home.But he had chosen to arrive fromthe opposite direction, and on horseback It was the way by which hehad first come, a silent, black-headed
little savage with weary body andsuspicious eyes, twenty years before. Twenty years almost to theday. Matt Blair had brought him.Now he was coming back the sameway, over the same trails.
Late,afternoon found him goingsteadily downward, not in a directgrade, but in a'rolling succession oflow ridges. He topped the crest ofthe last one and drew in. .
There it lay. a wide valley floordeep in grass, where grazing neverfailed in the dryest seasons. Mountains rinuned it around, taking thebrunt of winter storms on their oldshoulders. Off to the west and southwest they were little more' thanragged hills, but on the east andnortheast timbered heights lookeddown, cut with, deep canyons andthrusting out gaunt promontories ofrock At the southwestern end theranch buildings lay. low and pleasantly straggling.

The fur-trimmed accessory is
popular this winter. Here are some
of the reasons for-the furore for
fur. First is a sweater with fur
collar and pockets. The sweater is
taupe with a zipper fastening, and
the fur is mouton in beaver color.
The simple black suede bag has a
flap covering the zipper closing,
with three mink tails slipped
through a gilt ring. The beige
gauntlet glove has a bracelet edge

A striking comparison between the > believed that Canada “can do pcr>xps

Empire or any other country with the
single exception of the United
States."
Canada of 1914 and to-day with
particular reference to the important
economic contribution this country
can make to the allied cause were
I features of the address given by
I M°r*> W. Wilson, President and
Managing Director, at the Seventy-
' first Annual Meeting of The Royal
Bank of Canada.I “Canada,” he said, “is in a position
i ’ tc contribute assistance to the causein truly impressive proportions, to an
extent, in fact, that may decisivelyturn the balance if the other contending forces are anything like
PROGRESS SINCE 1914
Since 1914 Canada's economicstructure had been virtually transformed, stated Mr. Wilson, from onebased mainly on agriculture to one of
great diversification in which manufacturing played a leading role. Hepredicted this trend would undoubt
edly receive an even greater stimulusif the present conflict is prolonged.
"In our past crop, yields wereagain abundant, the total wheat cropfor all Canada falling but little be
low half a billion bushels. Thus theSecond World War finds us in aunique position to continue as the
‘Granary of the Empire.’
“While Canada’s manufacturingindustry played a noteworthy role in
the production of munitions duringthe last war, should the need arise,we shall be able to outstrip greatly
anything we were able to do at that
time.
"The iron and steel industry, which
under war-time stimulus reached apeak of a million .tons of pig iron
annually in 191b, has doubledits potential output. Aircraft manufacturing has assumed importantproportions, and the groundwork has
been laid for rapid expansion.
MINERALS VITAL IN WAR
“War power to-day depends largely on minerals, particularly metals.The expansion of the Canadian out
put of such products since 1914 hastfeen spectacular. In 1914 Canadaproduced 773,000 fine ounces of
gold. In 1939 production was nearlyseven times as much as in 1914.KrAel increased from a production
of 45 million pounds in 1914 to227 million pounds in 1939. Copperproduction has increased eight-fold
during the past twenty-five years.Lead output is eleven times as great.Zinc production has gone up from
22 million to 381 million pounds,the output of aluminium is eleventimes as great, and when plant ex
tensions now under way are completed, production will be increasedto nearly fourteen times what it was
in 1914."
“To-day Canada is a very differ-<ent nation from the young unseas
oned country that went into the last
war.
WAR AND CANADIAN ECONOMY
“It seems to me quite clear thatwe have facing us the prospect of'maximum employment. Unless our
enemies collapse through deterioration of morale before their economic
and military resources are exhausted,the decision in the present conflictwill depend largely upon economic
staying power."
“Never before in our history hasit been so important that every one
of us should practice thrift and industry. If the time comes when unemployment is no longer a problofn,
we may find ourselves compelled' tocurtail luxury and other non-easen-tial industries to make wayi for
more essential production. Furthermore, capital and other expenditures,public or private, not directly re-
lauJ to winning the war, nor essen-tisMio keeping our economic machine functioning efficiently, should bedefinitely discouraged. It is to behoped that under these circumstances, labour and wage disputes will
be completely avoided. Those whoare fortunate enough to remain attheir regular employment in Canada
must not exploit the situation fortheir own ends. Capital must also bewilling to contribute ita full share.
Some industries,' bf cdurae, will be-adversely affected by the war, but, the majority will undoubtedly exper
ience a great stimulus. The benefitstherefrom must not be retained by'tockholders except to a normal de
gree. The Government has devised asound system of taxing excess profits,bm it Js also essential that any at-
tempt*V profiteering should be ruthlessly suppressed.
In view of the strides which hadbeen made since 1914, Mr. Wilson
BUY ALLIED GOODS
Mr. Wilson emphasized particularly the need for buying a msximumamount of goods from Greet Brit
ain and France. “In this way,” hesaid, “funds will be made available
for the purchase of wheat and warsupplies in Canada, leaving the goldand foreign exchange reserves of
Great Britain for use as a last resort.
Everything possible must be doneto stimulate Canada’s exports with a
view to commanding purchasingpower abroad. "We are in an absolutely unique position to supply goods
to Great Britain and France. "Dusmust necessarily lead to businessactivity such as we have not prev
iously known.
TOURJST TRADE
"It seems to me also that the waraffords Canada a unique opportunityto develop further ita tourist trade.
It therefore behooves our governingbodies to bring the unquestionedattractions of Canada as prominently
as possible to the attention of prospective visitors from the UnitedStates. In normal years, tourists
spend as much as $250/300 millionin Canada. This trade is thus an important factor in our international
balance of payments. As a means ofstrengthening our economy and providing foreign exchange, our efforts
to attract tourists should be redoubled.”
BUSINESS PROSPECTS
Mr. Wilson reported that in spiteof disturbing conditions business dur
ing 1939 was reasonably good andmaintained a level well above thatof 1938.
“If for any reason peace shouldcome within a comparatively shorttime, we would soon revert without
difficulty to the not unsatisfactoryconditions which prevailed before theoutbreak of hostilities. If the war
should continue for a protracted period—and this is the basis on which
our plans must of necessity bemade—I think we shall have a*per-iod of unusual industrial activity.
But aS we prosecute the war, wemust not lose sight of the readjustments which will follow the return
of peace. If our precautions are well-planned and adequate, the hesitationin our progress will not be great."
GENERAL MANAGER’S ADDRESS
Mr. S. G. Dobson, General Man
ager, in reviewing the Bank’s balancesheet remarked that the generalprogress of the bank during the year
reflected an upturn in business whichbegan in the Summer and whichunder the stimulus of war orders be
came quite active in the Fall of theyear. The balance sheet was particularly noteworthy, he said, in that
the totals shown under cash assets,securities, total assets and deposits
were at the highest figures recordedin the history of the bank. Totaiassets now standing at $1,014,708,-
343 were the highest on record, thisbeing the second occasion in thebank’s history on which they had
crossed the billion dollar mark.
Mr. Dobson reported a greater demand for Commercial loans in Canada and that the total under thisheading was now $212,627,311,*anincrease of $14,424,408.
Porfita for the year showeu amoderate increase but, taxes nowborne by banks had become a real
burden. "These totalled in the caseof The Royal Bank $1,907,751,*’ he
said, “a very heavy charge considering the bank's earnings and equivalent to 70c for every dollar paid
shareholders. Everyone concedes thatspecial taxation is necessary if weare to do our part in winning the war
but the amounts I have mentionedrepresent ordinary peace-time taxesonly."
FOREIGN EXCHANGE CONTROL
Foreign Exchange Control wasnow operating smoothly, said Mr.Dobson in spite of ita very wideramifications and the responsibility
with which the banks were faced atthe outset of interpreting the regulations to the public. “The manner
in which this new, and at first complicated, machinery was handled wasmost creditable,” said Mr. Dobson.
In conclusion the General Managerforesaw greater business activityduring 1940 under the impetus of
war orders, greater employment andmore general distribution of purchasing power.

CANADIAN LEGION
WAR SERVICES
Members of the vanguard of the
Canadian Legion War Services’ over
seas organization, who accompanied
the second contingent of the C.A.S.
F. to England, gave the fighting men
on board ship a preview of one of
the many services to be rendered by
the organization in the United King
dom and France.
Throughout the long and often
stormy voyage the Canadian Legion
War Services’ Officers staged boxing
and wrestling contests in the after
noon and movies and sing-songs at
night. Between “reveille,” and “lights
out" it was a gay round of entertain
ment, sufficient, at least, to put a
little realism into the lines “Oh, it's a
lovely war.”
Captain Mert Plunkett, originator
and director of the famous “Dum-
bells," and now supervisor of Soldier
Concert Parties overseas for the
Canadian Legion War Services, gave
the lads a real treat when he intro
duced a new marching ditty written
by James S. Thbmsbn. The troops
roared with delight at ita catchy
tune and words, the first verse and
chorus of which goes:
"My old dad he was a soldier
A little bit over 20 years ago.
His duty was to fight
From morn into the night
And I am going over there
To keep his medals bright'."
“Oh! Chere Marie—just wait for me,
Just wait for me on leave in Gay
Paree;
For I am learnng now
To parley-voo - - and how!
Just as good - - Just as good
As my old man
Used to be.”
The personal service bureaux being
operated throughout Canada by the
Canadian Legion War Services where
there are concentrations of troops,
and now in England since the 1st
Division arrived, are being extensive
ly used and hundreds of men under
arms are receiving advice and guid
ance on problems of all kinds.
The Legion officials, all of whom
are veterans of 1914-1 Bl8 and who
from experience, therefore, are bet
ter equipped than anyone else to
help new soldiers on matters aris
ing from active service, are solving
for their younger comrades personal
and home difficulties of all kinds, as
well as advising on pensions proced
ure, hospitalization and dependents’
allowances.
There is no bashfulness in their
approach to the Legion men for
they have long since learned that
among old soldiers and the new there
exists a comradeship and esprit-de-
corps that inspires sympathetic un
derstanding.
"Do I really need my coat
brushed?” asked the passenger in
the pulltnan.
"Does you l"exclaimed the porter
with great emphasis. “Bom, I'se
broke!"
F U R S
■ Mr. Semi-Detach—“For goodness
Ethel, stop making that alarm
clock go off! What’s the idea any
way?”
Mrs. Scmi-Detach—“I only want
to make the neighbors think we have

Miss Mary Moran, 94
Taken By Death
One of Ingersoll's oldest residents,
Miss Mary Moran, passed away at
her residence, Albert street, on Sun
day morning, January 14th. She had
been in failing health for some years
but was only confined to her bed
for about ten days. Born in Ferman-
augh County, Ireland, a daughter of
the late William and Catherine Mor
an, she was bro’-jht to Canada by
her parents, when just an infant.
Miss Moran was in her 94th year and
lived with her parents on a farm on
the 5th concession of Dereham Town
ship, where they settled when they
first came to Canada, until she came
to Ingersoll to reside about fifty-five
years ago.
Of a retiring disposition, she took
little interest in activities outside her
church. She was the oldest active
member of James’ Anglican
Church, Ingersoll and was one of the
original members and assisted in the
organization of the Woman’s Asso
ciation of that church over a half
century ago. William E. Cragg, Ing
ersoll, is a nephew.
A private funeral service was
held from Mr. Gragg’s home, 115
Albert street, Ingersoll, on Tuesday
afternoon, at two o’clock, with Rev.
H. E. Merifidd officiating, to St
James* Anglican Church, where a
public service- was held at 2.30
o’clock, conducted by the rector,
Rev. H. E. Merifield. Interment was
made in the Ingersoll Rural Ceme
tery.
Baptist Aid Held Their
January Meeting
The January meeting of the Bap
tist Ladies Aid was held in the
church parlors with the president,
Mrs. James D. Magee, ‘ in charge.
Mrs. A. McBeth read the Scripture
lesson and after the’singing of the
National Anthem, Mrs. W. A. Elliott
led in prayer for the Empire. The
roll call showed that 29 members,
were present.
The reports by the various con
veners of departments and by the
treasurer showed that the society had
a very profitable year in 1989. The
hostesses for the afternoon were
Mrs. W. A. Elliott and Mrs. J. Ellery
and with their assistants, served tea.
