Y’s MEN ENJOYED ASTRONOMY TALK W. G. Colgrove, London, Was Speaker At Ingersoll Club Bi-Monthly Dinner. PASSMORE’S “GOOD WILL” PARTY DELIGHTFUL AFFAIR Many Ingersoll Guest* Present At Annual Get-Together of Store Staffs in Woodstock The annual Good-Will Party of The Passmore Stores was held in Grey Memorial Hall, Woodstock, on Wednesday evening, January 31st. when the owner of the stores, Mi. Howard E. Passmore and Mrs. Pass more, acted as hosts to upwards oL eighty, members of the Staffs of the stores at London, Tillsonburg, Wood- stock and Ingersoll, and then friends. Guests were present from Delhi and Brantford. The entertainment provided was of such a diversified nature as to appeal to all tastes. Games, contests, dan­ cing and a sing-song were the main features. Mr. Tom Clark of Wooa- stock, acted as master of ceremonies and with the assistance of Mr. Pass- more, kept things enlivened through­ out the evening so that there were no dull moments. For the sing-song, Mrs. C. W. Bryc-j of Woodstock, accompanied at ta-i piano and also played for the dan cing. Her numbers were all great!; enjoyed. Mr. and Mrs. Passmore led off in the Grand March at ten o’clock. Kazoo noise makers pepped up thir feature and opened the dancing pro­ gram which included twelve numbers with novelty features worked in Several of them. Paper hats, comic specs with false noses and lips made great transformations to the guetvs and provided much fun and many laughs. Two spot dances found the winners to be Miss Muriel Smith, Woodstock; Miss Dorothy Edwards, Brantford; S. Bower, Woodstock, and"J. Ferris David, Ingersoll. Midway through the dancing, de­ licious refreshments were served of sandwiches, cake and coffee, which all enjoyed very much. The evident appreciation of Mr. Passmore’s hos­ pitality was best expressed at the dose of the evening's program, when all joined in singing “For -they arc jolly good fellows,” in honor of Mjr. and Mrs. Passmore. Mias Marjorie Fuller, manager of the Ingenoll branch, her assistants. Miss Jean Brand and Miss Mary Scott were among the fifteen or more guesLi from Ingersoll. The Ingersoll Y’s Men Club at their Bi-Monthly Dinner, at the Ing­ ersoll Inn oh Wednesday evening, January 31st, had as their guest speaker, W. G. Colgrove, M.A., B.D., of the University of Western On­ tario. Mr. Colgrove, who is an astron­ omer of note, is a member of the teaching staff of the university. Rather than speak on the usual topic of astronomic phenomenon regarding eclipses, etc., he took his hearers on an imaginary trip in a spaceship, capable of travelling through space at 1,W miles an hour. Incidentally, the speaker observed that since man had already attained the speed of 500 miles an hour, 1,000 miles an hour would undoubtedly be reached in the not too distant future. The planets of the universe were visited one by one and the atmos­ pheres and climates with the other peculiarities of each, in turn noted To go from the earth to Mercury, the nearest planet to the sun, was shown to take four years of steady travel at 1,000 miles per hour, as the distance is 36,000,000 miles, Mr. Colgrove told the meeting, that this would be no place to stay, as Mer­ cury has no atmosphere as has the earth, but is all dried out and cracked into great crevices. The side facing the sun was said to have a temper­ ature of 740 degrees, while the side aiway from the min was 400 degrees below zero. The next visit was to the planet Venus an^Jthen on to the moon. The speaker explained that the trip- from the earth to the moon would be but a short one, requiring only about 10 days. Mr. Colgrove said it would tequire 14 years to reach Mars as that planet was 41,000,000 miles from the earth. The speaker explain­ ed that this planet is considered in­ habitable because it has an atmos­ phere similiar to that of the earth. The temperature in the daytime was said to reach 46 degrees, falling at night to 50 degrees below zero. Neptune was one of the last planets touched on the imaginary tour. This was shovrn to be 2,000,000,000 miles away and for that reason would re­ quire 165 of the earth years for that planet to pass once around the sun. Mr. Colgrove had with him many pieces of equipment said to be found nowhere else in the world for the simple reason that he had made and perfected the instruments himself. One interesting device was a “soltel- unium,” devised to illustrate the mo­ tion of the earth about the sun and of the modn about the ea’rth. The speaker claimed tha* anyone who ever interested himself in astron­ omy could not help but believe that there is a deity whose great works control the numerous universes. He mentioned that the great Prof. Ein­ stein, as the result of his* research work had in the last six months given his heart to God and claimed that Darwin never was an atheist. Jack Mayberry introduced the speaker and Bert Carr extended thethanks of the Y’s Men/to Mr. Col grove for his interesting talk. Gordon 1'ittoek gave a summary of the club’s hockey activities and stated that the club had sponsored a bantam and midget team in the C. B. and M. series. A game' is arranged for February 5 when the Woodstock Bantams will play here at 5.80. It was also explained than an eight­ team town league with four bantam and four midget teams was now m operation in which over eighty boys wpre being given the privilege of par­ ticipating. Robert Wark informed the club that arrangements have been made for the showing of the Toronto Stat royal touf pictures here February 16th, in Trinity Church auditorium.

IMO Ancient Commentary on Imported Fruit* In view of the large amount of native fruit available to Canadians at the present time, owing to restricted shipping space for exports, die quaintly worded ref­ erence to the use of domestic as against imported fruit and plants in England over 300 years ago, is pertin­ ent to the present apple marketing problem in Can­ ada. Writing in his Elizabethan England in 1587, the Rev. William Harrison says with reference to the im­ portation of fruits and plants into England from Mediterranean countries: “Certes they grow not for us but for the Arabians and Grecians. And albeit that they may by skill be applied unto our benefit, yet to be more skillful in them than in our own is folly: and to use foreign wares when our own may serve the turn is mote folly; but to deepise.our own and magnify above measure the use of them that are sought and brought from afar is most folly of all; for it savourith of ig­ norance, or at the least wise of negligence and is therefore worthy of reproach.” In another part of the same chapter, after writing of the crops of 1587. Mr. Harrison comment*: “Anri even as it fareth with our gardens so doeth it with our orchards which were never furnished with so good fruit n«r with such variety as at this present. For besides that we have most delicate apples, plums, pears, walnuts, filberts, of sundry sorts we have no less store of other good fruits. So that England for these commodities was never better furnished, neither any nation under any clime more plentifully endowed with the^e and other blessings from the most High God who grant us Grace withal to use the same to His Honor and Glory.” Feed The Bird*Each year.* friend rtramti ua to write an editorialreminding reader* to think of the birds during thewinter when ao much snow » on the ground.The habit of throwing breed crumbs in the backyard after each meal u» simple to acquire, costanothing but a minute amount of effort, and yet canmean oo much.

LOOKING BACK 23 YEARS From the Files of The Oxford Tribune, Ingersoll, Canada, Thursday, Feb. 8th, 1917 The Lady Dufferin Chapter, Daughters of the Em­ pire, have made arrangements to have Mias Ada L. Ward, of London, England, speak in the Town Hell, Ingersoll. The members of the Mizpah Class and. others of the Baptist Church interested, held a very enjoyable social in the lecture room of the church. Mr. McCruin, the teacher, introduced the chairman, Mr. George Langford. Rev. Joseph Janes spoke. The program consisted of a vocal solo by Mrs. Wright; vocal solo, little Mias Addie Elliott; piano solois by Mrs. McDiar- mid and Burton Langford. Canada’s Population For years economists have been puzzling and arguing over the problem of how ba?t to fill Canada’s vast untenapted areas. Obviously so huge a Dominion could easily support a far greater population than the almost ridiculously small 11,000,000 presently settled in the land. But the demand for more intensive colon­ ization has always brought the objection that there was not enough work for the people already here. This is probably a short-sighted argument made to appear logical by a situation which would automatic­ ally correct itself. Nevertheless it has been sufficient to deter any major scheme of settlement. Will the war alter the ease? Lord Riverdale, busi­ ness-like head of the British Air Mission to Canada, told a Sheffield audience the other day that Canada “can easily do with 40,000,000 people.” This cannot be disputed. Canada would welcome 40,000,000 people as a more adequate population than the present 11,- 000,000. The question is how to arrange it.' Lord Riverdale think? the Empire air training scheme, bringing thousands of young men from the Mother­ land and the Antipodes, may start a flow of population in the direction of this country. It may be that such a settlement will be further encouraged by commercial aviation developments coming as a direct sequel to the Whr effort. It is to be hoped this turns out according to the anticipations of Lord Riverdale. Canada needs a greater population, and as the head of the Air Mis­ sion assert®, “we must fill the Empire with our own people." This latter is a necessity, not a matter of choice—if the Empire is to hold together. Dr. Colin Ross, an astute Nazi observer, who visited this coun­ try not long before the outbreak of war, was amazed and angered to find such a land of promise so sparsely populated, so relatively undeveloped. In a book he wrote on the subject Ross asked indignantly by what right a mere handful of Canadians claimed jurisdiction over half a continent. Impertinent or not, the question is one Canadians must be prepared to answer. The Baptist Young People had a very fine meeting on Monday night, when the president, Freeman El­ liott, spoke on “Visions and Tasks.” Mrs. W. J. Tune sang a very pleasing solo.

The debate at the Young People's Society meeting in St. Paul’s Church, brought qpt a large attendance. “Resolved that environment has a greatter effect in moulding character than heredity or reading,” was cite subject. Those taking part were Miss Irving, Walter Window and Mr. Hester for the affirmative, while tic negative was upheld by Miss McLeisch, Miss Jean Gall and Mr. Bowman. The negatvie won by 1 point.

In the same cruel manner the. depression has seen good for Canadian business. It has improved the breed by pulling down those businesses which could not withstand such severe and prolonged hardship. The result is, that, in spite of public debt and its resultant tax requirements, Canadian industry and finance are better prepared for this war than they were for the last. A long boom peribd preceded 1814. This period (was coming to an end and a depression was developing when the Imperial Eagles of the Kafeer went tq war. Canadian business was soft from fat living and subject to the ills which beset obesity. The shock of war upon our economy was profound. • Today Canadian business, is, for the most part, strong and resilient. It is the hardy group which has survived twenty-five of the most perilous years since Waterloo. Those years have proved many a fine-look­ ing buck deer of industry to be a shade too slow when the wolves were at his flanks. Some of the re­ mainder that are running in the Canadian woods thb year carry'scars, but the herd ingeneral has been vastly improved under the principles' of natural se­lection and the survival of the 'fittest This largely aplicu also to the men who manage our industrial Mid financial corporations today. Molt of them have had personal experience in one war and *11'of them have weathered one depression. Some, of of them carry scars on their bodies and all of them cany seam on their minds. They remember the hot breath of near disaster.'^Eike the corporations they manage, these men have been tempered by fire to withstand the fire of these days.

Man Who Put TheWorld On Wheel*W ** Bara is Seatlaad 100 Year* Age.February 5, 1940, is the centenaryof the birth of John Boyd Dunlop,the veterinary surgeon, bom in an Ayrshire cottage, who invented hu pneumatic tyre after experimenting with his son’s tricycle wheel in the backyard of his Belfast home one day in 1888. To-day the results of his invention are enormous. The estimated 72,000,- 000 bicycles in the world, represent­ ing 144,000,000 air-filled tyres in actual use,'form only a small part of the inventor’s legacy to the com­ fort and efficiency of the world on wheels. In 1938 British factories made- nearly 6% million pneumatic motor tyres, and of these 1,225,000 are doing service in 85 foreign countries and their possessions, and in 35 dif­ ferent Dominions countries. Crown Colonies and Mandate Territories in the British Commonwealth. Moie than 62 per cent, of the crude rubber consumed in Britain is used for tyre manufacture for home and export markets, Aircraft owe a great deal to too development of the pneumatic tyre, and the biggest aero tyre in the world is made in Britain. Even tne humble wheelbarrow now has an air-filled tyre, and .if Dunlop were alive to-day he would doubtless be equally pleased to see almost a Noah’s Ark of animals — horse.', oxen, camels, mules and buffaloes, pulling vehicles on tyres based on his invention; for Dunlop himself had many a jolting ride in a pony cart over the rough Irish roads, on iron-tyred wheels. Britain, always keen to improv* the pneumatic tyre, provided a worthy commemoration of the in­ ventor’s centenary several months before it fell due, when she produ­ ced a bullet-proof tyre now being fitted for use of Army vehicles in the war zone.

Many callers found their way to the home of Mrs. George Mason-*Albert street, on Tuesday afternoon, when she held her post nuptial reception. Mrs. Mason was assisted in receiving by her mother, Mrs. F. Mc­ Dougall. Mm. W. R. Veale directed the callers to the tea-room. Mrs. R. J. Perkins and Mrs. J. Anderson Coulter presided over the tea cups. The assistants were: Man Helen Garnett, Woodstock; Mies Enright, Miss L. Sudworth, Mias Dorothy .Sudjworth and Miu M. McDougall. Little Mias Jean Dunn attended thedoor. __ Mrs. Spencer McDonald and son Billie, were the guests of Mr. and Mrs. T. N. Dunn this week. “Education is the most potent weapon in the campaign of preven­ tion of. ill health arising from faulty or defective diet and nutrition.” Pointing this out to a large audience in Toronto, Hon. Ian Mackenzie en­ dorsed and launched a,project under­ taken by the Health League of Can­ ada to advise women on the right foods to use. Practical demonstra­ tions in cooking are to be given in a number of city schools. The sylla­ bus for the course of instruction has been scientifically developed and when the success of the project is known, it is intended to outline lhe technique adopted here for the bene- fit«of any part of Canada desirous of undertaking similar Work. The Minister of Pensions and National Health in urging the im­ portance of nutrition in winning the war referred to what has been done since the outbreak of hostilities. One of the prime facts reported by his Department’s medical research men was that seemingly substantial rations provided in the last war had been deficient in calcium. This fact had been communicated to the De­ partment of National Defence. Ra tions for the present war had been substantially increased and varied to include articles of diet which would offset the types of Illness to which it had been found that veterans of the last war had been especially subject. “When I tell you,” said Mr. Mac­ kenzie, “that tuberculosis among veterans of the last war had cost this country 3150,000,909, you will see that there is an economic as well as a humanitarian value in this re­ search.” The field of nutrition he said, was above all the one in which Canadians as individuals, could learn the most with the greatest benefits to them­ selves. "We need health in our armed forces,” he continued, “We need health in the nation and we can achieve it only by having health in the home. Victory in the field will bs a hollow achievement in this war if all that remains is a devitalized home-land. Oqr men have gone forth to fight, to defend the living standards that we have established here in Canada. It will take sacri­ fices and deprivation on our part to insure their success. But we must not let down our health standard. On the contrary, if we are to be worthy of our fighting men we must strive to go forward in our war against ill-health. Some startling information on nu­ trition w u contributed on this occas­ ion by Dr. F. F. Tisdall, Director of Nutritional Research Laboratories, Hospital for Sick Children, Toronto and a member of the Canadian Coun­ cil on Nutrition. As chairman he pointed out that Great Britain spent one-third of its national income on food and Canada over 25 per cent., so that the industrial group engaged in the production, manufacture and distribution of food was the largest of all industrial groups. Dr. Tisdal! showed how nutrition affected the whole economic life of a nation. Lack of the right food increased the tuberculosis rate. In Germany dur­ ing the last war, one soldier died of tuberculosis to every six killed in battle. Excess mortality over normal rates amounted to 760,000 of the civilian population and at the end of the war 800 more people were dying daily in Germany than would have died under ordinary conditions and poor food was the cause. Even in England and Wales the general death rate was increased by 13 per cent. During this war, Canadians were not likely to lack food but it was im­ portant to get the right kind. Science had proved that there were 34 food elements necessary to life. If a per­ son was supplied with most of these but missed any his health was affect­ ed. Dr. Tisdall referred to Vitamin B2 . as an example of necessary food elc- I ments. Experiments with rats hnd shown that the animals when de­ prived of this vitamin died in two or three pionths. While discovered in 1933, it was not demonstrated until last month that the lack of Vitamin B2 definitely affects humans. He warned his-hearers that though' they immediately commenced diets to in­ clude all 34 elements, they could not expect to suddenly overcome the re­ sults of 20 to 30 years’ improper diet Mentioning as necessary to life­ dairy products, meats, fish, eggs, vegetables fruits and whole wheat cereals, he pointed out that 44% of the food stuffs used by the Canadian people was devoid of vitamins and minerals. It remained for all to find the right foods to eat and how to cook them so as to retain their values. “It’s not the groceries you have in your market basket that count,” he said, “but the foods as served on your dining table. Mr*. Samuel Rumford Passes At Stratford Announcement has been received here of the death at Stretford on Sunday, February 4 th, of Mrs. Al- baretta R. Rumford, of Forest, widdw of the late Samuel Rumford. Deceas­ ed who .was in her 84th year, die J while on a visit to Stratford with her daughters, Mrs. George Barth and Miss Elsie Rumford, 53 Norman street.

Deceased was in Ingersoll about a month ago to attend the funeral of her daughter, Mrs. William Gibson of Chicago, who was brought here for burial. At that time she was in particularly good health and active for one eighty-three years of age. The remains rested at the' Green­ wood Funeral Home, Stratford, until Monday evening, when they were taken to Forest for funeral services on Tuesday afternoon with intetinent in Beechwood Cemetery, Forest.

Tourists who used to cross the Atlantic for winter sports in Europe now find it wiser to stay closer to home and go to places like The Whistlers Mountain, the Tonquin Valley or the Maligne Lake area of Jasper National Park in the Canad­ ian Rockies, reached from the town of Jasper, Alberta. With Europe any­ thing but attractive to tourists in these days of war, Canada become., more and more popular as a winter sports centre and the Rockies are coming into their own. After all, Switzerland seems unnecessary wfyen you have mountains and ski slopes like these within the boundaries of North America. Jasper National Park in Alberta offers some of the finest skiing ter­ rain on the North American Contin­ ent The snow covered mountain slopes lend themselves perfectly to every phase of'skiing, including long and short cross country trips, run­ ning and slalom. For approximately three months of the year, powdered snow conditions, so desirable for good skiing, may be relied upon. In fact many skiers, have found the early spring months as enjoyable as any time for recreation on the long blades. There are an increasing number of skiing enthusiasts who are now planning their annual vacation in the winter, instead of during the sum­ mer months. For those who would like to spend a little .while in this sparkling winter world of Jasper National Park, the Canadian Nation­ al Railways have placed in effect daily special low winter fares from points in toe east, good up to March 81. These fares are applicable to first class, tourist class and coach class accommodation and are good for a period up to 21 days or threr months. There will also be a low cost all­ expense-included 14-day ski tour to Jasper from all points in the east, connecting with trains leaving Tor­ onto and Montreal on March 1, pro­ viding tourist and colonist car ac­ commodation, with meals in the reg­ ular diner. This tour provides ten full days skiing* in Jasper National Park, either in the Maligne Lake area, with stop-overs at chalets, or on The Whistlers Mountain well-de­ veloped ski runs, with accommoda­ tion in nearby Jasper town. Campaign Planned For Scout Work It was decided at a joint mecHng of the First Ingersoll troupe and the Second Ingersoll troupe of Boy Scouts, held at the community Y, on Thursday evening, to raise funds by the medium of a campaign for Scent work in Ingersoll. The campaign will get under way early in March. The following were appointed as a cam­ paign committee: E. J. Chisholm. John Lee, William A. McDougall, W. H. Allen, W. C. Wilson. E. C. Grimes was named as secretary. The meeting .was well attended and several important matters re­ garding scouting were discussed. Two members of the joint com­ mittee, William A. McDougall and E. H. Albrough, were appointed to name an examining board for scoot work. This board will be composed of peraons'qualified to test scouts in the variou crafts when badges in such crafts are desired. * On Monday, February 12th, the Canadian Legion launches a financial appeal for $500,000 to carry on a great, new and much needed program of educational and personal services among our enlisted men. » While the first job is to win the war, every man must be prepareddor the inevitable returnto Civil Life.

Gitz Rice was interviewed at Ot­ tawa in the office of Captain Ben. Allen, C-L.WJ8., assistant general manager in charge of entertainment and the story he told is.one that will appeal to soldiers and civilians alike. “Before we talk too much about peace and rehabilitation,” Mr. Rice said, “we’ve got to win the war. That’s exactly what the Legion’s oi- ganization is undertaking to do. ’Ae old soldiers, especially, realize the importance of morale and we arc going to do our best to give our younger comrades of the second C. E.F., the kind of wholesome fun that will help them . clean up this frightful Hitler business.” Gitz, who will organize concert parties throughout Military District No. 3 and who hopes eventually to join the Legion’s overseas organiza­ tion, knows what war is like for h<* served in France with the 5th Bat­ tery, 2nd Brigade, C.F.A. “Heinie rode the daylights out of us at times,” he recalls, “but • we managed to give him his desserts—■ and with extra helpings. Our battery was a corking good one, too, with *a sense of humor that always helped I to bring the lads through the tough-, est circumstances. It was, in fact, this humor among the officers and men that gave the idea of develop­ ing a concert party. This proved to be the fir*.t organized behind the lines. “Its success as a builder-up of morale was immediately recognized by the Division Commander, General Alderson, and soon after the Somme show I was transferred to the sta.T headquarters of the 1st Canadian Divirion. At Divisional Headquarters I formed a committee comprised of the late Col. the Rev. J. M. Almond of Montreal, (better known as Father John), who was senior chaplain of the Canadian Corps; Col. A. H. Mc- Greer, now principal of Bishop's Col­ lege, Lennoxville, Quebec, and Cap­ tain (later Brigadier-General and now Air Commodore in the R.A.F.), W. R. Critchley of the famous Eng­ lish sports-promoting family. “Our first undertaking was to open a theatre at Bailleul, France, where we put eon a monster concert. The profits from this enabled us to pur­ chase moving picture equipment, stage properties and costumes. We later put up coffee stalls at the trenches with the money that was left ->ver. Can you believe it? In the winter of 1915, in this one theatre. tor Diz, whose part waa capably taken by Percy Gill. Form V was declared the winner. Two songs by the girls* chorus, one in English and humorous, the other in 'French and sad, and a tap dance to the jig, •‘Irish Washerwoman,” completed the first part of the program. The . chief number of all was a play competently done by the 1 oi­ lowing students: Ruby Scott, Dolly Stevenson, David Prosser, Percy Gill and Ronald Bigham. Much lively action was injected into this play by all members of the cast. Of special interest was the number which succeeded the play. This was a school song entitled, “Cheer, Cheei for Old I.C.I.”, submitted for ap­ proval by the Boys’ Chorus. The words of the song were composed by David Prosser. The School Journal of composite authorship, presenting the lighter side of school life was expressively read by Russ. Hall. The concluding number was a chorus and dance entitled, “Reuben, Rachel," with Catherine Miles as the charming bride and Ronald Chambers as the handsome groom. Barbara Staples was the efficient accompanist for all musical numbers. The meeting, a most successful one, was closed by the singing of God Save the King. Ingersoll Horticultural Society Name Officers George F. Janet Succeeds James R. Spaven As President.

HEAD OFFICE TORONTO we entertained over $5,000 soldiers!'* Afterwards, Gitz said, the iate Lord Byng encouraged his efforts and the concert parties were carried out on a larger scale. Then, when the late Sir Arthur Currie succeeded Byng to the command of the Can­ adian Corps, he functioned on ad even larger scale. Meanwhile, other parties were formed, among them the famous “Dumbells”, headed’' by Captain Mert Plunkett of the 3rd Division, the ’’Maple Leaves,” of the the 4th Division, and the “C-Two's” of the 2nd Division. Captain Plun­ kett, incidentally, is now in England organizing soldier-concert parties for the Canadian Legion War Ser­ vices. ’Mademoiselle? Oh, she came into the picture just a few months later,” Gitz replied. ‘Tn the little town of Nieppe, right on the border of Franco and Belgium, about six Kilometers (I think) from Armentieres, I met a fellow by name “Red” Rowland, a sergeant in the Imperials. We were both billeted in an cstaminet—"pub” to you—and immediately formed a two-man yong and piano combination. The estamlnet was our studio wherewe tried out our stuff. * Mademoiselle was a charming liUIo lass whose pop owned the place and she took a great interest in our work, bringing up thirst-quenchers with a regularity that endeared us to her. For her many kindnesses, it was log. ical that we should write * song about her; hence — “Mademoiselle from Armentieres,” to which Row land wrote the words and I composed the Jime.” “We introduced the song or.» night when our make-shift theatre was full of officers and men,” Gitz continued. “The first part of the programme was made up of songs and satires based pn the 'life of the lads in the treqches and we made light of them all, whether the joke was on the general or the pritat" Our .new song, -however, was slightly different and we weren't quite suic whether it wffuld go over or not. The “hinky-dinky” part, I should explain, is Kaffir for “O.K." and, of course, you know what “parlez-vous” means. Well, the moment arrived and Red and I launched out, got our “dig” in at the generals and then quickly let1, the stage with a “hinky-dinky" parlez-vous" dance step. Then we waited for the heckling (we thought would come. But it didn’t. ■ “We got encore after encore,” said Gitz, “and it waa almost necessary to read the Riot Act to get the men particular requirements. But please tell the public this," he . added. “Neither Red nor I wrote all the verses that were heard afterwards. If we had we’d have been in the “clink” for the rest of the war." Gitz, whose nickname was given him because he usually “gitz” what­ ever he wants, thinks there is a great job to be done <for the new troops in the way of entertainment. The Canadian Legion War Services, he says,, is making no mistake in devot­ ing so much time to the esprit-de- corps and well-being of the new forces by this means. He is confi­ dent the Legion's other undertakings, such as education and personal ser­ vices will help a lot to do the Job of rehabilitation afterwards. It’s twenty years since Gitz Rice"left army life and now he is in it again to do his “bit,” even though he is too bld for active service at the front “I’m going back to England,” lie said with u happy smile, “to find my out of the theatre.

Dunn QUALITY HARDWARE PHONE 47 The Nia’ouri Farm era' MutualFire Iiwuranee Company held thenannual meeting on Friday, February2nd, at attendance being smaller than usual owing to condition of roads. During the Directors’ pari of the -meeting, opened by ’Mr. Cba*. Waring, the retiring president, it was pointed out that although there had been an increase in losses of $2090.00 during the part year, there had also been added to surplus $3400. The greater number of dwell­ ing fires were attributed to defective chimneys and that if the present rates were to be maintained it was up to the policy holders to co-operate as far as possible in removing all un- nece4ary hazards. They were cau­ tioned about the increasing load upon their hydro installations, without having same inspected by some com­ petent person. Many installation* were put in some years ago and mat­ erials u ed which today are not con sidered efficient or entirely safe. Statistics had proved that lightnings rods when properly installed ,wero just about 100% efficient. Mr. Wm. Weir took charge of the policy holders’ part of the meeting, during which some interesting discus­ sions followed upon adjustment* of claims of live stock killed by light­ ning, and the use of spark arresters upon the chimneys. One company was mentioned that would not accept a risk unless arresters were Used. Others using them had noticed a re­ duction in their losses. The impress­ ion seemed to be that all buildings, especially those with wood shingle roofs should be equipped with spark arrester.’. Threshing fires received the usual amount of attention. Chem­ ical fire extinguishers were al«o rec­ ommended, but that when donated by the insurance companies their coat wa.9 included in the insurance prem­ iums. The three retiring directors,. Messrs. Piett, Waring and Jelly, were elected by acclamation, following which further talks were given in reference to fire fighting equipment and services. These all cost money, and it vflte felt that organizations giving assistance should be reim­ bursed or encouraged in some way. That it was equally important to the townships to have or maintain this protection, as after a fire there was a reduction in assessments and the community indirectly suffered loss, generally extending over several yeaife, cau-ing a vacant farm and increasing taxes upon remaining fana properties. Several organizations were mentioned which had rendered good services and had saved their communities considerable property of value. These savings would conse­ quently reflect in the township assess, ment* as .well as the insurance rates. Owing to several townships generally being available to the service* of one organization, it was felt that these services should be under a county organization > rather than the insur­ ance companies. It was also felt that the adoption of the rebuilding clause would go a long way toward reducing fifes, es­ pecially -those of undetermined origin. The mortgagee would then be unable to acquire the money originally in­ tended to replace the building?. The replaced buildings would maintain the mortgagees' security. Insurance mon­ ey was never intended to pay off mortgages.

Already he had seen her, and Joey from the doorway hadraised his thin halloo.“Here’s Lee. Honeyl Jes’ turnedup. doggone his ornery hide. Yo’recornin' to supper, ain’t ye?" “Glad to see you, Virginia." Leeheld out his hand as a matter ofcourse and gave hers a grip that wassomehow reassuring.“If you don’t stay to supper,” Leewas remarking conversationally,“Joey won't be fit to live with for aweek, and I’d counted on bunkingwith him for a night or two.”“Oh. are you staying with Joey?” She hesitated. As far back as shecould remember, the ranch househad been Lee’s home. Her fatherhad treated him like a son. “Youknow, Father would always want you to feel—”"Thanks, but I’m afraid thatwouldn't do. I’m not a part of theCircle V outfit now. I’ll probablycamp somewhere in the hills while I’m—looking around."She watched Joey as he bustledabout, in contrast to Lee’s easiermotions.

Hestood beside it. looking toward theclosed door; went over to a window and looked out; looked back againwith thoughtful intenseness; re­turned to the desk and stood look­ing down at that, puzzling for the answer that would not come.Lee nulled out the second drawerof the desk, slid his hand beneaththe obstinate upper drawer and gave it a pressure of strong fingertips which brought it sliding outobediently. An old tobacco tin wasstill there, a few cartridges, some odds and ends of paper. Nothingvery valuable.He bent lower, peering intently,pulled the drawer out, moving thehaphazard contents lightly, pushingthem aside and back again.Something caught his eye—a tiny gleam half lost in the crack. Hetook out his knife and coaxed it intoclearer view.It was a trifling thing when hehad it, a thin, triangular scrap of metal with little enough meaningin a place where odds and ends hadbeen dropped for years. The brokenoff tip of somebody’s knife. He laidit on the palm of his hand.“I’d give a lot,” he reflected so-bcyly, "I’d give everything I own to know just how long you’ve beenthere.”He found an old envelope, wrap­ped the bit of metal in it, stowed it in his pocket and closed thedrawer. Then he looked up.There was a light scrambling ofbony fingers on the door panel Ling stood on the other side.“Missy cornin’,” he said softly.“You stay bleakfas’, Lee?" Mr. T. Ellison Archer entered his wife’s room more abruptly than washis habit. The real estate markethad receded and left him high anddry.

JENVYRE-ELECTED CHAIRMANBOARD OF HEALTHComplete Outline of LastYear’s Work Given By Thepublic Health Nurse. Th© inaugural meeting of the Ing­ ersoll Board of Health was held on Wednesday evening last, with P. T. Fleischer acting as chairman. On motion of P. T. Fleischer and Dr. H. G. Furlong, Byron G. Jenvey was re-elected chairman of the Board for the year 1940. The minutes were read and confirmed and a num-, ber of accounts were read and pay­ ment ordered on motion of Janies N. Henderson and Dr. H. G. Furling. The report of the sanitary inspec­ tor, John Wilford, was presented and accepted on motion of Dr. IL G. Fur­ long and Jas. N. Henderson. This was referred to as a very complete report and some questions in regaid to milk tests recorded thereon were asked and discussed. The report of public health nurse, IMiss J. M. McNaughton, Reg.N., I showed the complete outline of woik accomplished in public health nurs­ ing for the year. Replying to a ques­ tion from the chair in regard to general public health conditions in the town at the present time, com­ pared to the same some eight or ten years ago, Medical Officer Dr. Fur- Ions’ said that there was of course nc possible comparison, as the general conditions to-day are so far ahead of what they were at that time. General health among the school children in itself has seen a remark­ able improvement and this is in re­ gard to results that can be seer, among them at the present and over a term of years. Immunizations for various diseases go on continually, so that when one group of children re­ ceive this benefit, it does not slop there, but succeeding classes of chil­ dren come in for it also, thus keep­ ing epidemic at a low point. Reference was made to the cod­ liver oil supplied to a number of children in the town, through th^, health clinic, who would otherwise not get the benefit of this much- needed commodity. Through the efforts of the health nurse and the co-operation of women’s organiza­ tions in the town, a portion of ihe sum donated by these organizations is used for such purposes. This por­ tion of the work was commended highly by board members and thanks expressed both to Miss McNaughton and to the organizations that make it possible. It was^ moved by P. T. Fleischer and Jas. N. Henderson, that the board of health request the council Hints O nFashionsSmart Spring Suit Nice to wear under a fur coat now and to blossom out on its own, comespring, is this neat little suit.

A request for a file for health lit­ erature for the teachers to use in the schools, made by the health nur»e, was granted. This was suggested by a visiting nurse-supervisor in Decern ber last. Some discussion was held in regard to obtaining better accommodation for the holding of the pre-school clinics and general health work and various suggestions were put forth by the members. This was from the standpoint of cleanliness and general health surroundings and atmosphere Nothing definite was done in this re­ gard at this meeting but it will ba brought before the board at the next meeting. An outline of the most outstand­ ing activities of the public health nursing service was presented by Miss McNaughton in a, very detailed report. ST. PAUL’S CHURCHANNUAL MEETINGVery Successful Year ReportedBy All Organizations- OverEight Thousand Dollars WasRaised During 1939.The annual congregational meeting of SL Paul’s Presbyterian Church was held in the Sunday School hall on Wednesday evening, January 31. It was the largest meeting in many years. The managers provided a sumptuous dinner at 6.30 p.m. Rev. Dr. H. H. Turner, minister, opened the meeting which took place after dinner, with prayer. J. C. Herbert, B.A., chairman of the Board of Managers, was elected chairman, and E. J. Chisholm, secretary. The reports of the many activities showed a steady growth and well sustained interest in all the depart­ ments of the church’s work. Between eight and nine thousand dollars wore , received for ail purposes. The three I Senior W.M.S. Auxiliaries reached their allocations of over $600.00, which, with the Mission Bands and Girl Guides, completed a contribu­ tion from the congregation of abouv I $2000.00 for missionary purposes. A payment of $500.00, together with the interest, was paid on the church mortgage, leaving a mortgage in­ debtedness still of $4500.00. A hearty vote of thanks was ten­ dered to the minister, Dr. H. H. Turner, who has completed his seventh year in St. Paul’s; to all the organizations for the splendid work they rendered for the church and Kingdom during the year. (New members for the Board of Managers were elected: James Brown, representative from'the ses­ sion; C. A. Love, J. C. Herbert, B.A., Dr. L. .W. Staples, €. L. Bole, B.A., Dr. C, A. Osborn, Robert Wark, J. J. McArthur, Mark Simpson, Norman Empey, Mrs. J. iR. Spaven, Mrs. A. V. Gundrey, and Miss Annie Moon. E. J. Chisholm was re-elected sec­ retary-treasurer of the congregation with Miss Carrie Hutt, envelope secretary. In his report of the session, Dr. Turner asked the members to pause long enough to ask and to answer the question: What constitutes suc­ cess? Just as life is more than a mere procession of years, a chronicle of incidents and events, an emer­ gence of the. self through childhood, adolescence and manhood, so success is more than a balance in the bank, an abundance of things that tarnish and fade, the name of so many hun­ dreds of members on our church roll. Life is not lived in years, but in ex­ perience and succes scannot be mea­ sured by material standards alone. What ever Its financial rating or numerical strength, that church is a success which has lifted its own mem­ bers and the people of the community in which it exercises its ministry, a little nearer the light; and ha* made God and Christ and heavenly things nearer and dearer and more real L* the world. All gain apart from such an achieverpent must be reck­ oned a! loss, and all loss in order to achieve such a result, should be reck­ oned as a gain. Twenty-nine persons were added to the roll during the year. Five member* had passed on to "that bourne from which no traveller returns.’’ Quite a number of new families had been brought to the attention of the congregation through the recent religious census of the town, and the minister hoped that members of the organizations would get in touch with these families as soon as possible. A hearty vote of thanks was ten­ dered the managers for the excellent dinner, and expressed a wish for many happy returns.

LONGThe idea that beauty i» obvious U> 1everyone is a mistaken one, forvery few people are really fully aware of its presence. It is in tile nature of a will o' the wisp, that as we follow, fliea and that being w, we must be forever in pursuit of it. It is not always or necessarily sp, for after we become fully cognizant of it, fully alive to the fact that it i- ever around us, it stays with us, gives us the joy of permanent poss­ ession and in this it is like God * love, ours only if we know it. God created the world for man’s enjoy­ ment. He meant it to be an abod$ of beauty, a place where man couid live his earth life in peace and plenty, aware always of the loveliness around him and aware also of the divine love that prompted the planning and bestowing of it. No part of the world is without beauty, even those placed which, to unaccustomed eyes, seem most desolate and dreary. foi\ by searching, we find that they too are beautiful, with a beauty suited to their own environ. The desert has always been the home of man, even Biblical man dwelt there and one who has lived his life in the desert has no desire to live elsewhere. His needs are simple and his means of subsistence amply provided for. The seasons bring their changes there as in othei lands, times of seeding, waiting, har­ vesting and times, too, when nothing seems to be growing, but when, in reality, Nature is at her busiest; each has it own beauty. And in all this is seen the hand of God, for man himself has done little there to foster growth during all the centuries. The sharp contrast of silver light and dense black shadow of moonlit desert nights has been extolled in song and story; so has the beauty of the sunseta there, when colour drenchessands and hill® and sky to make a world of weird enchantment. To the Musselman, kneeling in worship, at the rising and setting of the sun, Beauty and God are one. He walks there and His robes are a trailing glory. The Sheik and his caravan of camels are doomed, for jthe white man, with his ever’-ipre«ent desire U expand his sphere of influence, to possess himself of the beauty and utility of other lands, to exploit the strangeness of them, is gradually penetrating the desert. The Arab u exchanging his camels for the ubiqu itous motor-car and he himself is being degraded from the position of proud owner to that of tout to the curious sightseer in search of a thrill. In this the Arab is as blind as all men have been blind, seeing only the acquisition of money, the possession of some little of ths white man’s culture and not at all does he see that he is selling the beau­ ty of the desert, his own pride, his very right to live and roam in free­ dom over his own wide domain. Even the horse, the pride of every desert Arab of bygone days is be­ coming less and less important; icw of those living in towns and villages, encroaching on the desert, possess or have ever ridden one and now the motor travelling at fifty, sixty or seventy miles an hour, outruns the swiftest steed ever extolled round the camp-fires of the nomad. This process of infiltration will continue until the Arab is pushed farther and farther into the wilderness or is driven to earn a living as a factory hand in a white man’s town. TAo late will he perceive that he has sold his birth-right of a free and vigor­ ous life, aoH the beauty of tie dcsartthat was h* to accept in exchange «little quickly squandered gold and alife of arduous toil.And this too has happened tn theIslands of the Pacific, where Naturehas done her best to produce a pler-titude of everything nseessary for alife of easy luxury. Beauty abounds wherever man casta his eye; it is in the dark green of the palm trees; Ir. the vivid blue of sea and sky; it dwells in the white surf and the gol­ den 'ands and is apparent in the soft airs of langorous, moonlit nights. It is to be found superabundantly in the men and maidens whom God placed there. No such Eden perhaps was elsewhere to be found and. yet ma.r was not satisfied, for “man never is but always to be blessed.’’ The white man came and saw and quickly appraised the luxuriant and tropic loveliness. Here was a paradise; why not buy up Paradise and sell it At so much a day, bath inclusive, to the effete pleasure-seeker of other and less salubrious lands? Why not sell him the moonlight, the soft airs, the sound of the breakers, and the sigh­ ing of midnight breezes through the trees along the shore? No sooner said than done. The native felt no compunction about selling the beauty of his homeland; he could, no doubt, sell it and still remain to enjoy it and with the money he could buy so many things his islands failed to prodifce. He could have canned goods and canned music and his maidens and men could strut around in clothes of the latest style, pro-i duced in vast quantities by under­ paid, ill-fed unhealthy slaves of the machine in far off lands; he could, in fact, become very civilized. So the exchange was made; the native took the gold and moved his few goods and chattels a little further inland to make way for the luxurious homes of the white man, who was finally to corral all the beauty of the islands. No longer the Tahitian beauty dances ^'1 with Dr. Chase's Kidney-Liver Pills One every week and sings to the music of the ukulele on the sands in the moonlight He; grass skirt and profusion of flowers, so adequate in those pastoral sur­ roundings, so suited to her lithe and sinuous grace of limb, are now the trappings of a creature, hired to ex hibit her charms in the sensual dance on the stage of the modern cabaret She no longer dances for the pure joy of living, but at so much a night she endures the leering looks of the men and the half-jealous, half-ccu- temptuous looks of the women. And the youth who strummed his home­ made instrument tuned to the sound •of the swish of the sea and the night winds in the palms, strums it now upder the glaring electric lights In ,a'garish, enervating rooms, to the tinkle of glasses and the high-pitched inconsequential chatter of people whom he is paid to amuse. Is this a fair exchange? Did they realize that when, they sold their islands they were selling the beauty they were no longer to enjoy or that they were trading their freedom from hard labour, their easy, care­ free, happy life for a life of toil. No man foresees; he only sees too late, and these, the owners under God of an earthly Paradise, are reap- OXFORD CHEESEBPRODUCERS HELDBANQUET HERE 1 TON TRUCKS • 123%" WHEELBASE— Meet the demand for units of medium capa­ city, designed for lowest Hauling costs.

And so with the Indians of the Americas; they, with their love of Nature, their keen zest of the open- door life, lived at one with God. They saw Him in lake and wood anl stream; they sang their songs of praise to the Great White Spirit that inhabited the forests and vast spaces, the Spirit which had made them the big brothers of the wild things that here dwelled. They needed little in the way of cultivated crops; almost all they required was freely to hand. • They hunted and fished, not as the white man does, .with a delight in kill­ ing, but for food and they knew suf­ ficiently well how to preserve and store the superabundance of the one season against the scarcity of the long and rigorous months of winter. They had besides a love of the roam­ ing life; they were nomads by nature and followed the source of their food supply and this source'seldom failed them. They were a healthful, vigorous lot and had they been allow­ ed to progress by slow degrees, as God no doubt intended they should, they would have developed a civiliz­ ation of their own, that might have been quite as efficient as the white man’s. But he once more invaded die realm apportioned to others; he again insisted on implanting his own form of civilization on a conquered and simpler one, uprooting the other in order to do so and in the process planting in the Indian so much of his, the white man’s decadence, that the Indian dwindle^ in stature and magnificence and finally in numbers. Not alone was the invader to blame, for had the native not been lured by the promise of riches to come, had he refused to sell hia birth-right of a free, untramelled life, had he seen that his failure to cling to his own beautiful land was to end his own enjoyment of beauty, tfe might have been able to save at 'least some little of its vastness for himself. Perhaps it is improbable that that he could, for with the while man's superiority in arms it would seem inevitable that any native race must succumb. In spite of the seem­ ing reluctance at first on the part of the Indian to let the invader gain a too-firm foothold, he did eventually give way before the golden god and so little by Httle lost his inheritance. Why do men always learn too late? Why cannot man resist the tempta­ tion to invade and despoil, to rob the poor, lowely and generally happy and contented native of the land in­ tended to be his? All beauty has a valuation, but if that valuation be a matter of dyllars and cent^ or pounds sterling, beauty is destroyed. Itia still there, we ad­ mit, but the touch of gold tends'to make it apparent only in terms of gold and the beholder, instead of see­ ing God, is apt to see Mammon. Turkey Dinner Served ByMembers of Trinity W. A.William Newman and R. H. Mayberry Addressed Gath­ ering. About 175 were present for a din­ ner and meeting held in the Sunday School Hall of Trinity United Church on Thursday, February 1st, at noon. The get-to-gether was sponsored by the Oxford Cheese Producers’ Asso­ ciation and included the dairymen aad chee<e factory operators and their ladies. An excellent turkey dinner was served by members of the Women's Association -of Trinity United Church and during the dinner hour music was provided by Ewart A. Bartley, pianist and Clarence Rut­ ledge on the violin. The guest speaK- ers were William Newman, vice-pre­ sident of the Ontario Marketing Board, and R.’Harley Mayberry. J. J. Poole, president of the Ox­ ford County Cheese Producers’ As­ sociation, acted as chairman. Dr. J. G. Murray, mayor of Ingersoll, ex­ tended a civic welcome. Harley Mayberry, . president of the Ontario Cheese Producers' Asso­ ciation, emphasized the fact that the British market is the only market left for the British Dominions and pointed out that it was detrimental to the dominions to form competitive markets. They should organize, hesaid, an'd regulate the supply to the British market. Mr. Mayberry said he had no fault to find with organizations in industry, labor and other groups. Through organization these various groups had put their business on a better basis. The fanners, he said, had no one to blame for their position but themselves. Until such time as they could organize as other industries had done, they could not expect to better their conditions. It was eyident, Mr. Mayberry stated, that the quality of cheese must be-kept up. Recognizing this fact he said the executive of the association waited upon the Govern­ ment about a year ago asking P'r a premium on quality, which was granted, one cent per pound on 93 score cheese and two cents per pound on 94 score cheese, which netted the producers of Ontario the past sum­ mer about $450,000. He said that if the producers did not derive any other benefit the association in the' next 12 years would not cost them anything; Mr. Mayberry said he not believe in going to the government for support, but as other branches of industries got it, and as producers had to help pay for -it, they, too, were entitled to consideration. « Mr. Mayberry also dealt with t.u testing of milk, stating that about 20 years ago, the Dairy Standards Act was passed, making it compul­ sory that all milk be paid for on a butter fat basis. At that time it was understood that^cheescmakers were to do the testing, but as they were dealing with patrons they did not wish to take the responsibility. The result was that the Government said their instructor would do the testing at a cost of 50 cents per patron, which was the case up to two years ago. At that time the association took over the testing, which however, was not satisfactory to either the asso­ ciation or the Government ' A committee met the officials of the dairy branch of Ontario and asked that the testing be done at no extra cost to producers as the money went into consolidated revenue of the province and not to the dairy branch. He stated that they were assured the testing'would be done by the Government and that the official also spoke favorably of the Govern­ ment assuming the cost. William McCorquodale, Embro, vice-president of the Oxford Asso­ ciation, congratulated the cheese- makers on their good work during the season, and especially on high quality cheese.

Pick- tendered on behalf of the associa- ard, of the Prouse Factory in Dere- tion by T. B. Way. ham, was first. The historic background of the dairy industry in Oxford County, of which this town has long been known ’as the “Hub”, was mentioned by Mr. Newman, who emphasized the fact, that the foundation of the cheese ' business was laid by pioneers of this 1 district He stated that Ingersoll, so far as the production of cheese was .concerned, was a pioneer centre of i the province, the first producers' or- ' ganization being started in 1864 at. the Maple Leaf Factory in Oxford County. Mr. Newman urged that high qual­ ity continue to Ibe the watchword of producers a® well as a strong organi­ zation.
