The second debate of the year of
the I. C. I. debating club was held on
Wednesday, January 17th, in Form
9B. This meeting was presided over
by the vice-president, Ethelwyn
Daniel. The subject of the debate,
was “Resolved: that Great Britain
has contributed more to the advan
tage of the Dominions than the Do
minions have contributed to Great
Britain.” The affirmative was upheld
by Grace Fairbanks and Shirley Law,
negative by Jean Morgan and Ruby
Scott
The point* on both side* were ex
ceptionally well organized and the en
unciation was excellent The affirm
ative dwelt pn the liberty given Can
ada by Great Britain and also on the
fact that Canada is sending troops
to Great Britain although she is not
obligated to do so. The latter is a
proof that Canada is thanking Great
Britain for the many things she has
done for Canada.
The negative dwelt on the amount
of war materials the Dominions ex
port to Great Britain and the avia
tors which are being trained here.
The judges, Hazel Palmer, Douglas
Barrow and Margaret Phinn gaye
the decision to the negative. A vote
of thanks to the debaters and the

NEW FORD TRACTOR
IS DISPLAYED HERE
Ingersoll District Farmers will
have an opportunity of seeirtg the
new Ford tractor with Ferguson
wheeltess implement* today. This rev
olutionary new power farming unit
is being shown across Canada in all
dealers’ showrooms and is displayed
here by McVittie & Shelton Limited,
local Ford dealer.
"This tractor and its implements
give farmers the greatest advance in
farming equipment in many years.
Designed to make farming easier, it”
also increases production and lower*
operating costs/’ said Mr. Samuel L.
Shelton, president of McVittie &
Shelton, Limited.
Describing the new tractor, Mr.
Shelton pointed out that it combines '
light weight with great strength of
construction and power. It weighs
approximately 2,000 pounds and
handles two 14-inch ploughs m
average soils. Gampact and versatile,
it prqyides power for all types of
farm work such as ploughing, till
age, row-crop cultivation, belt wo«k
anti the operation of combines and
other machines from a power take
off.
"It is necessary to see this tractor
in action to understand just what
>t will mean to Canadian fanners.
The unique coupling of the imple
ments creates the necessary traction.
The hydraulic mechanism is controll
ed by a handy lever which is used to
raise or lower the implements and to
keep them in the soil at a predeterm
ined depth while working,” said Mr.
Shelton.
"The tractor and implements have
been thoroughly tested in practical
farm work during the past year.
Remarkable results have been achiev
ed with an average fuel consumption)
of only one. gallon of gasoline ah
hour while ploughing and doing other
heavy work.
Public demonstrations will be
arranged on district farms as soon
as the weather permits. In the mean
time farmers are invited to see the
tractor and implements in the show
rooms.

Tin Is The Rarest of Common Metals
In this machine age tin has come into great prom
inence. It is the rarest of the common metal- Romans
and Phoenicians used to travel to ancient Britain to
trade the silks of China, the cottons of India and the
frankincense and myrrh and spices of Araby for the
tin of Cornwall. Other things too, of course. But
Cornwall ha/ lost its leadership in production and we
hear more about the tin mines of Bolivia and British
Malaya, and from these and other countries comes
the main Canadian supply for all those canned goods
that decorate the shelves of the grocer.
Tin is known to occur in the Snowflake and Sulli
van mines in British Columbia and in certain pegma
tites in southeastern Manitoba. It has also been re
ported at New Ross, Nova Scotia. No tin ore deposits
have beqn worked or tin ore production recorded in
Canada during recent years., The Nova Scotia De
partment of Public Works and Mines reported that
some prospecting was performed in 1938 on an oc
currence of molybdenum and tin in the New Ross
Area, Lunenburg County.
World mine production of tin decreased 30 per
cent in 1938 compared with 1937. Much of the di
cline was absorbed by countries signatory to the
International Tin Control scheme, their output being
decreased 33 per cent compared with only 10 per cent
for the nonsignatory countries. British Malaya con
tinued to be the largest producer and contributed 29
per cent of the total world output. Bolivia ranked
second with 17 per cent, Netherland India third with
14 per cent, Siam fourth with 9 per cent and China
fifth with 8 per cent. The output of the unrestricted
producers comprised 19 per cent of the total pro
duction in 1938, compared with 15 per cent in 1937.
As considerable tin enters world trade in the form
of ore, geographical data on world smelter output
differs materially from those of mine output For
example, nearly all ore from Bolivia and Nigeria is
smelted in Europe. An appreciable part of the tin
ore from Netherland India is smelted in the Nether
lands and the product of -Siam and Indo-China is
smelted in British Malaya. The only commercial tin
ore smelter in the Western Hemisphere is in .Argen
tina, and its output has increased somewhat in re-
• cent years. Germany (including Austria) produces
little tin; and despite major efforts to provide sub
stitutes, appAent consumption increased from 9,161

The War and The Kilt
Scotsmen and Scotswomen all over the world will
feel a twinge of disappointment when’they hear , that
this workaday war has caused the War Office in
England to abolish the wearing of -the kilt in all
kilted regiments, and to substitute the unromantic
battle dress.
Always the symbol of the daring heroism of Scot
tish’ regiments, the kilt was worn during the last war,
but with the addition of a khaki apron as camouflage
when going into action. Although now banned when
on duty, even in training, officers and men at home
or overseas will still be allowed to wear the kilt when
off duty or on leave.' ‘
Tartan manufacture is an important section of the
woollen industry, for apart from Scotland's own re
quirements, there is hardly a corner of the earth
where the colours of some of the 96 different Clans
are not proudly worn, either in the kilt or ns scar'cs,
ties and otherwise, by men and women of Scottish
birth .or descent.
"Eight yards of tartan are required to make a Silt
for a man,” said a Scots tailoring expert. "The abol
ition of the kilt for war sendee is likely to stimulate
the demand for it among Scojs ‘exiles’ throughout the
Empire, who will thus be able to ‘keep the flag flying'.
The decline of Army orders will make greater sup--
plies available for sending overseas.”
Mayor Buchanan and Councillor Mayberry were
present at the meeting of the County Council today.

Democracy—A Daily Activity
Democracy is defined by Webster's dictionary as
"government by the -people." Then it seems the ans
wer to what is needed to make a better democracy
must be a "better people.” Is it possible to have a
better democracy while our moral standards become
unstable, and our ideals more material? Can we
even maintain a democracy unless we are educating
our people to higher standards and more righteous
ideals: rightr education in our. schools and colleges,
through our churches and organizations by theaters,
radio and newspapers.
What is right education? It is giving our people
a standard by which to measure their thoughts and
acts. One which tells them right from wrong, good
from evil, truth from error, and teaches them how to
use it in everyday life.
No system can improve while the individuals
which go" to make it up are not improving. They muat
learn each day more of good and use it.

HEALTH IN NEW ZEALAND
New Zealand has the reputation of
being a very healthy country. Its
infantile deathrate is about the low
est in the world. Its women have ex
cellent pre-natal eye. The medical
and nursing professions are equal to
anything found elsewhere. ,
Recent information throws some
doubt on the usually accepted health
conditions prevailing amongst our
cousins on the other ride of the
world. For one thing, the New Zeal
anders do not consume a proper
balance of the protective foods, that
is meat, fish, milk, eggs, fruits and
vegetables. Most of the protective
foods are fairly expensive and in con
sequence meat is the main first class
protein used and the diet is bulked
with white bread, cakes, caae sugar
and tea. The New Zealandero are the
largest meat eaters in the world,
(about 250 pounds a head annually).
The average daily consumption of
food is as follows: Sugar 6 to 7
ounces, red meat one pound, white
flour 1-2 a pound, milk two-thirds of
a pint, egg one-third, cheese one-
third an ounce- and from two to
three ounces of butter. Most of the
milk is taken by adults in tea and
the egg in cake. The evidence
available shows that 97% of school
children have dental caries and 50%
of the people have false teeth. One
in every 20 persons is in 'hospital
every year chiefly for such complaints
as appendicitis, diseased tonsils and
goitre. The adult population suffers
considerably from digestive com
plaints, rheumatism and neuritis.
Most of the children maintain good
health until about the 8th to the 10th
year after which milk, cod-liver oil
and orange juice are cut down and
their place taken by refined starches.
By the time children are going to
-school dental decay has begun
though this has been to some extent
checked by a supply, in the last two
years, of a daily half pint of milk.
New Zealand eats too much pastry
and cakes. The tea-drinking habits
are the surprise of visitors. There is
great need, as here, in education in
the basic principles of nutrition.
AMERICAN WOMEN GETTING
THINNER
Thd interesting monthly Bulletin
of the Metropolitan Life Insurance
Company says that American women
(presumably this includes Canadian
women) are getting thinner. The
Bulletin claims that this result is
due chiefly to the incessant propa
ganda with which the public has in
recent years been bombarded on the
perils of obesity. This propaganda
was based on certain studies of
Ijealth and longevity of persons in
'the various weight groups, which
showed an excessive proportion of
-illness and death among overweight
individuals. This excess was due
largely to the premature develop
ment of chronic degenerative diseases
of the heart, kidneys and circulatory
system generally and to diabetes.
While underweights were found to
suffer a high mortality from tuber
culosis and pneumonia, the degree of
excess mortality among them was
small as compared with*that arising
from degenerative diseases among
overweights. The balance was entire
ly in favour of underweights and in
creasingly so with advancing age.
These sound reasons for keeping
weight down were further reinforced
for women by the dictates of fashion
The athletic figure for women has be
come very popular, but neither the
“Hollywood diet” nor the effect of
weight reducing drugs have had
much effect in producing the de
sired result. Indeed, while most of
drugs are ineffective and harmless inthis respect, some are quite harmful.
“The change in the diet of women,
has, on the whole been useful. It is
now based,, not on quantitative cal
oric needs, but on -qualitative needs
which emphasises the value of the
“protective” foods, those relatively
rich in vitamins and minerals. These
include the bulky, leafy vegetables
of low caloric value as well as milk,
eggs, fruits and moderate quantities
of meat and fish. The decline in the
average weight of, women is a con
dition that augurs well for the future
health of our people; it is a tribute
to popular health education. ,

CANADIAN LEGION
WAR SERVICES
Now that the 1st Division of the
Canadian Active Service ’Force is
safely encamped at Aldershot, the
activities of the overseas organiza
tion of The Canadian Legion War
Services are gaining satisfactory
momentum.
A. E. “Jack” Moore, of Winnipeg,
who beaded the vanguard of Legion
officers-to England, is 'busy with his
colleagues putting into operation the
various welfare facilities undertaken
by the C.L.W-.S. fof the benefit of the
Dominion’s armed forces.
Rigid censorship imposed, of nec
essity, by the British Authorities
naturally restricts to a minimum the
volume of news from abroad but
sufficient has been received to indi
cate that the Legion already is an in
fluential factor in the lives of the
new troops.
made for providing education facil
ities for the boys now in England and
in the near future, Robert England
of Winnipeg, director of overseas ed
ucation services and Lieut-Col.
Hughes DeMartigny, of Montreal,
associate director, will proceed to the
Old Country to get that branch of
the Legion’s war work under way.
British and French education auth
orities are fully supporting the work
of its services, although all its activi
ties ard- being carried out with the
primary intention of helping’ win the
war itself. Rehabilitation, in which
the Legion has had more than twen
ty years' experience based on the
first 6reat War, is so closely tied up
with educatidn, however, that what
ever can be done to teach the men

lizes, of course, that the primary
purpose of the.armed, forces is to win
the war and that all auxiliary services
must be provided in such a way as to
contribute rather than to distract
from this end. Definite constituencies,
therefore, have been planned to in
clude areas behind lines of fire, at
leave centres, convalescent hospitals,
and in neutral countries where Can
adians might be interned as prisoners
of war.
Wars, unfortunately, create an
unhealthy philosophy and many men
are prone to believe that because
they are on active service they stand
but slim chances of coming back.
Statistics prove this to be wrong.
The majority of our men will return
and in the meantime they must be
encouraged to look ahead and plan
for the future.
The granting of honorary member
ship in the Canadian Legion to all of
ficers and men of the forces has
been warmly applauded by the veter
ans of the last war, both by those
whom physical incapacities and age
have kept at home and by those who
again have joined the colors. ^_The
young fighting men themselves have
expressed appreciation of The Leg
ion’s gesture and there is no doubt
that, as a result, an even happier
association will be enjoyed between
the old warriors and their younger
comrades to whom war is a new ex
perience. 4
The C.L.W.S. overseas pen>qnal
services officer has been particularly
busy since the arrival of the ,1st
Division and hundreds of men at
Aidershot have sought advice and
guidance of problems of all kinds.
Another busy official is Captain Mert
Plunkett, supervisor of C*L.W.S. sol
dier concert parties, who is keeping
the wheel of entertainment revolving
to the delight of all.
Captain Plunkett, an old soldier
and showman, is known to the leading
lights of the British show world and
since his arrival has been renewing
acquaintances of stage and screen.
The result of his visits in London
will take concrete form on January
21 when a monster entertainment
will be presented at Aldershot tor
the Canadian forces. Such famous
entertainers as Beatrice Lillie, Jack
Buchanan, Fred Emney and Leslie
Honson will take part in the pro
gram and they will be supported by
the entire chorus of the stage' hit,
’‘All Clear," now running at the
Queen’s Theatre in London. Captain
Plunkett himself will be master of
ceremonies.

The “Liszt” programme arranged
under the direction of the commit
tee, Mrs. W. J. Tune and Mrs. A. P.
Deacon, was of absorbing interest.
The president, Mrs. H. G. Furlong,
in her introductory remarks, men
tioned the highlights of the career of
this great musician and told the story
of his romance. The numbers chosen
for the musical part of the pio-
grpmme demonstrated the versatility
of his genius. His beautiful harp-like
cadences were heard in “Cantique d’
Amour.” A haunting melody sustain
ed thro’ a maze of brilliant technique
as in “Etude in D Flat,” is another
characteristic composition. “Hungar
ian Rhapsody” No. 6, is typical of the
style, which is the delight of concert
pianists endowed with an amazing
dexterity of execution. His dignified
ecclesiastical form ^unique in “Ave
Maria.” No programme would be
complete without his well-loved
“Liebestraume" No. 3, (“Dreams OfLove”) which was heard both as a
piano and vocal solo.
Mrs. A. Parker prepared from a
wealth of material, a cleverly con
densed biography of this master-com
poser.' His varied experiences and
eccentricities, his work as a per
former, composer, teacher, conductor,
critic and achievements in Literary
efforts, notably his “Life of Chopin,”
were described.
Mrs. J. N. McKinney spoke of the
influences contributing to his success.

PARKS BOARD HADSUCCESSFUL YEARMany Accomplishmenta Reported During 1939. In Review of Work Since Parks
Board Formed Here.
Members of the Board of Parks
Management, formed last year, after
a vote of electors showed the major
ity of Ingersoll ratepayers favoring a
Parks Board for the town, com
pleted their first year’s activities on
Wednesday evening last.
The Chairman, George H. Mason
and another member of the Board
acted as hosts to their colleagues,
employees, officials and press at a
turkey dinner in the lovely new ban
quet hall of the St. Charles Hotel
Coffee Shop.
Following the sumptuous banquet,
the chairman of the Board of Parks
Management. George H. Mason, took
charge of the proceedings.
A brief summary of the work of
the Board since its formation last
Spring, was given by James R.
Spaven, the secretary. Mr. Spaven
pointed out that while a great deal
of money had not been spent, there
were many accomplishments to show
that the Board had secured full
value for all their expenditures. The
grounds at Memorial Park had been
cleaned up. A nursery with over
5000 trees was planted on the east
side of the creek that runs through
the Memorial Park. The softball dia
mond was changed, an addition was
built to the swimming pool and a
wading pool for the smaller children,
and the pools completely fenced off.
New toilets were built near the swim
ming pools. Shelves were added in
the kitchen and other improvements
made at Memorial Park. A number
of improvementc were also made at
Victoria Park. The baseball diamond
was put in splendid shape, the race
track was widened and graded and a
new high board fence erected along
the west side of the grounds.
Donations by business firms and
individuals of materials and labour
was acknowledged and the opinion
expressed that the Board of Parks
Management had accomplished a
great deal at a small cost to the
corporation. The fW r beds at the
entrances to town and other beauti
fication work near the Thames street
bridge was also done by the Parks
Board. Fifty reunions and picnics
were held at the park during 1939
by organisations or groups who had
applied to the Board for reAsrvution
of the grounds in addition to a num
ber of others that were held there
without making reservations and it
was stated that 14 picnics hsd al
ready been booked for 1940. The
work of the caretaker, Charles Guil
ford, was highly praised.
The members of the Parks Board,
Henry I. Stewart, Chairman of Mem
orial Park; James N. iHenderson,
Chairman of Victoria Park; W. W.
Wilford, Chairman of Registrations
and A. P. Barker, Chairmaft of the
Shrubs and Flowers, gave verbal re
ports in addition to the report of
Mr. Spavtn and the review of the
work of the board by Mr. Mason.
Charles Guilford, caretaker of the
Parks, Wallace Phillips, special pol
iceman for Victoria Park, Ex-Mayor
Alex. H. Edmonds, Emerson Moul
ton, President of the Ingersoll Fair
Bo«rd, J. T. Fitzgerald, representing
the Sentinel-Review and J. Ferris
David, The Ingersoll Tribune, were
called on for a few words during the
evening.
The feeling of the members of the
Parks Board that by carefully plan
ning their work and program for
several years ahead they would
eventually be able to make many
improvements to the Ingersoll Parks
and generally supervise a beautifica
tion scheme for the town. The pre
sident of the Fair Board made sever
al suggestions in regards to changes
that could be made at Victoria Park
for very little cost that would be a
help to the Fair Board and other or
ganizations that made use of the
park. It was pointed out that the
bequest from the estate of the late
Mr. J. H. Thomas, had provided the
funds for the addition to the swim
ming pool an other work at Memorial
Park.
A shelter of some kind that would
accommodate 150 to 200 people in
case of bad weather when they had
the park for a picnic, was urged as
a necessity for Memorial Park if
Ingersoll hoped^Xo bring people from
the surrounding districts to Inger
soll for their annual family re-unions
or picnics.
The efforts of the Parks Board
was lauded by several of the speakers
and the members were highly com
mended for the great amount of
work they had done during their
first year. Tribute was paid to Mr.
and Mrs. Gus Morello and their ^taff
for the fine banquet and to the mem
ber of the board who provided the
turkey and supplied the dinner.
In concluding the banquet, Chair
man Mason asked the press to point
out to the public that the members
of the Parks Board were desirous of
doing the things the public wished to
have done. Re-emphasized the .fact
that the mepbers would appreciate
suggestions and he wanted the public
to feel that the Board had their in
terests at heart at all times and were
anxious to see things accomplished
that would be of a lasting nature and
a credit to the town over a period of
years.
An old fisherman hauled in his net
and found a mine in it. Hailing a
passing merchant ship, he called,
"What shall I do with it?"
Back came a yell from thp/skipper:
“Give me a hundred yards start, then
you can do what you like with it.”

EMERSON MOULTONRE-ELECTED INGERSOLLFAIR BOARD PRESIDENTAnnual Meeting of Ingersoll,” North and West Oxford
Agricultural Society Re
viewed Work of Past Year.
Fair Was Most Successful,
But Financial Returns Be
low Previous Year.
Annua IMeetin go ngersoll
The annual meeting of the Inker
roll, North and West Oxford Agri
cultural Society was held ■ in the
council chamber, here on Wednes
day afternoon, January 17th. The
general concensus of opinion as ex
pressed by those in attendance was
that the 1939 Fair had been prob
ably one of the most successful in
the history of the society, although
the financial returns had not been as
large as in some previous years.
Emphasis was placed on the fact
that in most of the classes there had
been keen competition and the work
of the judges had been very difficult.
Changes were suggested in certain
sections of the prize list that could
be made without sacrificing the ap
peal to exhibitors, and also in regard
to the program that should be pro
vided for the entertainment of Fair
Day visitors.
It was mentioned that considerable
interest had been created >by the ex
hibit of the Kiwanis Bai’s' Calf Club
and that work similar to this might
still be encouraged in some other
respects as a means of creating a
deeper interest both in the town and
throughout the rural districts.
During the period of discussion
frequent references were made to the
fact that it had always been the aim
of the Society to provide a first-class
agricultural Fair.
It was mentioned that Dr. G. I.
Christie, President of the Ontario
Agricultural Society who was pres
ent on the second day of the Fair,
had been deeply impressed, not only
with the splendid grounds, but the
general indications that the fair was
in the strictest sense of the term an
"agricultural fair."
In the horse department, it was
stated that among the animals exhi
bited were a number that had been
winners at some of the larger exhi
bitions. The livestock in the show
rings was a feature attraction as
was evidenced by the crowds that
gathered during the period devoted
to judging.
The officers and directors gener
ally, in view of the high standard of
the Fair last year, viewed the futuie
in a determined and, optimistic man
ner and no efforts will be spared in
connection with this year’s activity.
Those who took part in the discussion were President Emerson Boul
ton, first vice-president AJex. Rose,
second vice-president C. C. Gill, past
president, S. A. Gibson, Byron G.
Jenvey, Geo. Currie, Don. Mackenzie,
Verne Meek, R. J. Kerr, W. W, Ban

Jr., Harry Little, Bernie Zurbrigg
and Leopard Hunt.

chair for the period devoted to or
ganization for the present year.

were re-elected for 1940 as follows:
President, Emerson Moulton; 1st
vice-president, Alex. Rose; second

Warden Hugh Harris, E. A'. Wilson
and F. H. Stone.

and Harley Mayberry were re-ap
pointed auditors. President Moulton
was appointed delegate to the annual
convention of the Ontario Fairs Asso
ciation in Toronto in February. A
motion was adopted that the society
affiliate with the Oxford County
Chamber of Agriculture.
^Following his re-election as presi
dent, Mr. Moulton thanked the board
for their continued confidence and
emphasized his willingness to dis
charge his duties to the best of his
ability. He also called upon al! the
Winter’s not over yet . .. not by a long shot! You’ll
still have to guard against freeze-ups, slippery pave

members for a full measure of co
operation with the hope that sub
stantial progress might be made
during 1940.
During the meeting the members
generally spoke appreciatively of
the manner in which President Moul
ton had worked on behalf of the

arrangements at the grounds and in
the buildings.

Tested RecipesSERVE EGGS—EVERY DAYSOME WAYIn comparison with many foods
which are served both raw and cook
ed, eggs lead in the number of ways
in which they can be used. Scramb
led, poached, cooked-in-the-shell. or
as an omelet, good fresh eggs make
an appeal to the most fastidious taste.
Combined with other foods, eggs
may be used for a great number of
desserts and supper dishes, and in
making cakes and cookies, eggs are
one of the principal ingredients.
There is now no guess work in
buying eggs, as they are sold graded
according to Government standards
as to quality and size. In order of
quality the grades are Grade Al
Grade A, Grade B and Grade C.

Joey told Hard times had hit Mattheavily, and one disaster alter another had piled on shoulders alreadyburdened. Cattle had stampeded overa cliff, grazing privileges which he
had rented for years from old Don
Luis Ceballos had been refused by a
new owner; there were notes in bankand the bank had unexpectedlypressed for payment; rumors also ofdisastrous speculations."He must have been figgerm' onsome deal that didn’t pan out." saidJoey. "He hinted at somethin' tome; come down here one night fera pipe with me—ye know hOlv hedid. Three days later he was dead,with a letter from the Assay Officetellin’ him tlial some ore samples ,

It was Matt's owngun, and they was powder markson him where it had been fired

Lee broke it presently.

"No, she only stayed for a little

sat up suddenly and fixed a worried
eye on himA brief grin twitched the corner
of Lee’s mouth. Both he and Joeyremembered the blazing temper ofthe waif Matt had brought to theCircle V years before The temperwas still there, but, as Joey said, it
knew who was boss.He stood looking toward the head
of the ravine where the trail wasstill greyly visible running up andout. It would be nearly dark in thatgreat grassy bowl, with the sundropping like a plummet behind the
hillsA match rasped in the cabin,
lamplight wavered and grew steady,a stove lid rattled. Joey’s voice camecame out to him“Ye goin’ up to the house. Lee?""No." The monosyllable wasclipped. "I was going up to lookthings over, but that will have to
keep. You needn’t tell anybody I’ve
been here. Joey. I’ll turn up againbefore long.""Mimi! Don’t you dast go anywhere else. Lee Hollister. Now I’llIiave supper ready in two shakes."Lee nodded acceptance"This Lawler business." he said
slowly. "I don’t get it yet. Who

affairs? The bank? Judge Harvey?"“Neither of ’em Honcv is.”“Honey! Not al) alone?""Why—yes.” Joey sounded apolo
getic "That’s the way Matt fixedit in his will. I guess Matt kindacounted on the Judge bein’ here toadvise her anyway, and you aroundto help her run thing# but now thatshe’s back cast, it don’t seem towork out that way."
Joey's voice trailed off on a dis
couraged note; but picked up quicklyin defense of Matt’s mistaken judgment“Ye see, it was an old will Mattwas aimin' to make a new one buthe never got around to it.’*Joey smothered a sigh and went
back to his pans Lee stayed for a
moment longer in the doorway, staring out at the thickening dusk withthoughtfully narrowed eyes. Yes, itwas pretty clear that the shrewd oldjudge was not advising Virginia.Maybe he'd better drop in and see
the Judge himself.He did full justice to Joey's meal.
summer season. It was a cottage
only by comparison with the morepretentious places nearby and thegreat estates along the shore road,and it was more expensive than theT. Ellison Archers could afford, butit was in the heart of a fashionable
summer colony, and Mrs. Archerwas not the woman to neglect herduty* toward a marriageable niece,especially where duty and personalcomfort marched side by side soagreeably.
In the safe seclusion of her room
she sighed a little-over the task ofbalancing accounts that were muchtoo heavy on the debit side. FiguresWere so depressingly obstinate, butafter all most of the bills were reallyVirginia's, and the ranch sale would
attend to them. Mrs. Archer bright
ened visibly.
There was no doubt in her mindthat she had done well by her sister’schild. To be sure, there had been at
first an intractable streak in Virginia,
a vigor of speech and action, a habitof making friends of quite impossiblepeople which had caused her auntsome anxiety, but the vigor hadtoned into a careless composure, atylMrs. Archer had diplomatically cen
sored Virginia's friends for sixyears. Now she could sit back andview her far front unpaid labors withcomplacency. Virginia was a success. She was young, beautiful and
popular. She could dance all night
and be as bright-eyed as a kitten thenext day; she had been assiduously'trained in every art and accomplishment that social success might demand. In Mrs. Archer's heart therewas a secret relief that her brother-
in-law's tragic death had removedthe last link between Virginia andthe appalling place that had beenher home. Virginia must not bewasted there. She must marry well.It was necessary, for more reasons •
than one.
And Virginia, for the past fewmonths, had been unusually docileAfter her first passionate outburstof grief and self-reproach that shehad not been with her father, andthe days of haunted restlessness
which had followed in that place ofmemories, she had dropped into anindifferent acquiescence with heraunt’s plans.Already Mrs. Archer was planning to spend the next winter at

They were

And from that day whatwas Matt Blair's was Joey’s.And so, drifting one time to theValley of the Sun, Joey had stayed.Inveterate old prospector that hewas, he had at once begun puttering

ROYDEN G. START, K.C.ADDRESSED Y’i MENFirst Anniversary of Club**Founding Observed At
Meeting Last Week.
The Ingersoll Y’s Men’s Club held
their regular meeting at the Ingersoll
Inn last Wednesday evening and
celebrated the first anniversary of
the founding of the local club amid
candles, chicken, cake and all that
accompanies a birthday party.
Vice-president Ross Bigham took
charge of the meeting until the
arrival of President Joe Foster who
was unavoidably detained. J. C.
Herbert of the “Y” board congratu

gave a report of the past year which
reviewed the club’s accomplishments.
He stated that at the founding of the
club in January, 1939, there were 22
charter members and that 14 new

projects but had rendered personal
service as managers, coaches or sup
ervisors of “Y” activities and other
projects sponsored by the club. The
total attendance at all these activi
ties sponsored by the club was held
to have been approximately 2,800.

cently held were given by Robert
Wark and Robert Walton. This was
shown to have been both a social and
financial success and heartfelt thanks
were given to all those who had,
assisted in any way to make it such.

Ralph Beck and Cameron Bailey,
were read respectively by Cameron
Bailey, Sid. Bagnall and Bert Bag
nall. The booster prizes were*won
by Jack Mayberry and Arthur An-
good.
Ewart Bartley introduced the
speaker of the evening, R. G. Start,
whose topic was “A Nation Within a
Nation.” Mr?“Start gave his attentive
audience a most educational and in
teresting talk on our French com
patriots in the province of Quebec.
He dealt with their culture, religion
and politics as well as the part they
play in making this a united Can
ada. Harold Gray, on behalf of the
club, thanked the speaker for his en
lightening address.
Arthur Angood gave the attend

CHEESEMAKING PROBLEMSResearch work carried out during1939 on cheesemaking was confinedin the main to studies on starters and
rancid flavour in Cheddar cheese. On
these two subjects, Dr. E. G. Hood,
Chief, Dairy Research, Science Ser
vice, Dominion Department of Agri
culture, has propared important in
formation which comprises studies on
starters for cheesemaking, the White-
head test, method of conducting the
test with the required equipment,
procedure, precautions, interpreta
tions of results, together With tables
of vitality tests on starters at var
ious cheese factories and a table of
records of manufacture of experi
mental cheese.
With regard to the rancid flavour
in cheese. Dr. Hood deals with the
investigations now being carried out.
They are discussed under three
headings: (1) Field studies in troub-
■ led factories, (2) bacteriological
studies on rancid cheese samples,
and (3) chemical studies on rancid
cheese of known history. The infor
mation is most important to cheese
makers.
SOYBEANS AND AGE
Investigations into the effect of age
on the vitality of soybean seed are
reported in the December issue of
Scientific Agriculture, edited by the
Canadian Society of Technical Agri
culturists. If soybean seed is not
more than 3 years old, it will germ
inate satisfactorily, although there
is a slight advantage in favour of
new seed. Four-year-old seed showed
considerable weakness, while seed
older than that was so low in vitality
as to be unfit for sowing. The few
plants that grew from 5 and 6 year
old seed were weak and slow in com
ing up. Eight-year-old seed failed to
produce a single plant.
FEEDING STUFFS ACT
The Feeding Stuffs Act of Canada,
which is administered by the Plant
Products Division, Dominion Depart
ment of Agriculture, requires that
most of the blended and by-product
feeds for live stock and poultry be

dollars per brand, and labelled for

AGRICULTURE'S KEY
The agriculture of tomorrow will
differ from that of today as much as
ours does from that of fifty years
ago. The actual progress will be
made through scientific research,
made effective by wise policies of
production and marketing, and the
agricultural countries which reap the
greatest benefit will be those that
use the only key that can unlock the
doors to nature’s secrets.—Dr. J. M.

p*EW albums contain enough ple-
* tunes of the family pct—the
dog, kitten, parrot, or whatever
animal companion you have. How
ever, with a little patience and
strategy, such shots are not dif
ficult to get—and they certainly
add interest and variety to your
picture collection. .
For a good picture of the pet,
you need a large Image—and here
Is where the portrait attachment
comes In. Slip one of these on the
camera lens, and you can take pic
tures with a box camera as near as3 feet to the subject. Even nearer,
if yours la a focusing model and
you use the attachment.
Naturally, you'll pick a moment
when the pet is quiet. Bait is helpful. For example, a saucer of milk
to tempt the cat. Put the milk In
the chosen spot, under your photo
lights—place the camera exactlythe right distance away from the
saucer—and as soon as the pet
take* the bait, you're ready to
shoot. For shots with photo bulbs
of the “flood" type, load the camera with high speed film.
Flash bulbs are often a help In
ibooting pet pictures. The picture
above is a "fiaah shot.” First, the
camera was placed just the rightdistance from the dog. while he
slept under the kitchen stove. The
shutter waa set for a "time” ex
posure. Then the photographerturned off the kitchen lights —
opened the camera shutter—made
a loud noise to awaken the dog—and flashed the flash bulb. Then Itwas necessary merely to close the
shutter and wind the film for thenext shot.
Thus, you see, you don't have to
have a synchronizer for flash shots,
although It’s a convenient device.
Indoors, you can use the flash bulbin any electric socket Make sure,
of count. that the light switch is
in the “off” position before you in
sert the bulb. For flash pictures,either chrome film or high speed
film can be used, but you must
have the light at the right dis
tance from the subjectPets are excellent subjects for
Indoor shots—and It would be fun.
