A., 12.00 WRECK ON GN.R. NEAR DORCHESTER Dorchester—A wreck on the main C. N. R. line, 3 mile* east of here, paralyzed traffic for six hours Satur­ day morning. Two freight trains side­ swiped while passing at a high rate of speed. Train crews escaped injury a* the locomotives and cabooses re­ mained on the tracks, while cars from the centre of both freights were ripped from the rails. In all 10 cars were partially derailed and a loaded tank car and two empty box cars, were hurled down a 20 foot embank­ ment. The accident which occurred at 1.40 am., was attributed by C. N. R. officials to loosened stakes on a Hat car loaded with huge logs, apparently the motion of the fast moving west­ bound freight, causing the supporting stakes to give way and the protrud- ng logs jammed against the east- bound train, just as the two were passing east of Dorchester. Whole sides were gouged from cars as the trains ground to a stop. For several hundred yards down the tracks, the roadbed was littered with splinters as 10 and 20 inch logs were re­ duced to matchwood. Four wheel trucks were pulled loose from several cars and one ran free down the em­ bankment and into a field 50 yards distant. Wrecking crews summoned from London and Hamilton worked all through the morning and shortly before seven o’clock, the ■westbound track wa* cleared, while crews were clearing debris from the scene of the wreck. All traffic was re-routed to and from London by way of Stial- ford. C. N. R. officials at the sreui mar­ velled that there was no loss of life and pointed out that had the heavy Jaden car given way a few seconds later it would have struck the ca­ boose in which the crew were riding.Another unusual angle of the wreck was that although hundreds of ties were deeply gouged, the rails re­ mained intact. Superintendent G. A. Stokes of London, hurried to the acene to take charge of operations when it became apparent the wreck would block bi th main lines for hours. This was the first major derailment of the Lon­ don division of the C. N. R. in many months. Engineer James and Con­ ductor - Bothwick were in charge of the eastbound train and Engineei Dunn and Conductor West of Tor­ onto, were in charge of the west­ bound freight Although no official estimate was made, officials said the loss would be heavy.

WELL KNOWN PAINTER ALBERT NUNN PASSES Albert B. Nunn, one of Ingersoll’s best known and highly esteemed re­ sidents for upwards of a half cen­ tury, passed away at an early hour on Monday morning, February 12th, at the family residence, 186 John street. Deceased had been suffering from a severe cold for about a month and his condition began to show gradual improvement, but late Sunday night he took a turn for tn: worse, with death <following at an early hour the next morning. The late Mr. Nunn was born in Ottawa, a son of the late Mr. and Mrs. John Nunn, and celebrated his 65th birthday on December 9th last. He came with his parents to the Ing­ ersoll district to reside when but a small boy and practically his entire life had been spent in Ingersoll, where he followed the occupation of a painter, paperhanger and interior decorator, working with his father until the latter passed away in 1918, then continuing in business for him­ self until the time of his recent ill­ ness. He was a member of St. James' Anglican Church, Ingersoll. He was the possessor of many fine qualities and was a great hunter and fisher­ man. In his younger days he played lacrosse, and was always interested in amateur sports. Left to mourn the loss of a dearly beloved husband and father, are his widow, one daughter, (Esther,) Mrs. Leo Brusseau, Tilbury; two sons, E. Russell Nunn and Arthur Albert Nunn, Ingersoll. Also surviving is one sister, Mrs. Richard A. Martin, Vic­ toria street, Ingersoll, and ■ two brothers, John Nunn, Ingersoll, and Bert Nunn, West Oxford Township, also three grandchildren, to all of whom the sympathy of their scores of friends is extended in their sorrow. The funerf! was held from the re­ sidence of his son, E. Russell Nunn, 72 William street, Ingersoll, on Wed­ nesday afternoon, with service con­ ducted at the house 'at 2.30 o’clock by Rev. JI. E. Merifield, rector of St. James’ Anglican Church. The service was largely attended and the profus­ ion of lovely floral offerings Lure ent tribute to the high esteem in which deceased was held, and sym­ pathy for the sorrowing family. The pall bearers were Messrs. George Preston, James Hanlon, John Milson, Harry Holland, Harry G. McMulkin and L. V. Healy. Temporary en­ tombment was made in the Ingersoll Mausoleum. I. C. 1. Debating Club Held Meeting Monday Another meeting of the I. C. I. De­ bating Club was held on Monday, February 12, at 4 o’clock in Form 9B. The meeting was opened by the pre­ sident, Grace Fairbanks, who after a few words, called for the minutes which were read by the secretary, Jean Morgan. “Resolved that the world is getting better,” was the sub­ ject of this debate. The affirmative was upheld by Hazel Palmer and Ruth Loosmore; negative by Ruin Crandall and Laettia Wilson. The debate was well handled and the material of both sides was well organized. The affirmative stressed the vast strides made by science dur­ ing the past few years. The invention of the automobile, radio, telephone, and telegraph, they stated had im­ proved living. The negative dwelt on the inven­ tion of such deadly weapons of war as bombs and poison gas. Public tastes, they also stated, are at a lower level than they were years ago. The judges, Mr. Wilson, Mr. Stev­ ens and Dolly Stephenson, retired to form a decision. Mr. Brogden then gave.a short talk expressing his appreciation for the number of stu­ dents and teachers who were present for this meeting. The judges’ decision and criticism was given by Mr. Wilson and was found to favor the negative. Jack Shecter moved a vote of thanks to the debaters and judges and the meeting was adjourned. William Harrison Claimed By Death The death occurred at an early hour on Thursday morning, Febru­ ary 8th, in Alexandra Hospital, Ing­ ersoll, of William Harrison, for many years a resident of North Oxford Township. Deceased had not been in the best of health fbr the past two years but was only taken to the hospital the day previous to his pass­ ing. The late Mr. Harrison who was in his 64th year, was born in England, coming to Canada to make his home in 1913. He had resided in this dis­ trict , the greater part of that time, living about a mile west of Ingersoll at the Junction of No. 2 highway and the North Town Line . He en­ listed with the 168th Battalion in the last Great War but did not get over­ seas. He followed the trade of stone mason and plasterer and through his business associations and kind and cheery manner, had made many friends throughout the town and dis­ trict. Left to mourn the passing of a be­ loved husband and father, is his widow and one son, Thomas Harri­ son of Ingersoll. The funeral was held from the Fred S. Newman Funeral Home, cor­ ner King and Duke streets, on Sat­ urday afternoon, with service con­ ducted at 2.30 o'clock, by Rev. H. E. MerifieTd, rector of St. James’ Angli­ can Church, Ingersoll. The service was largely attended and the beauti­ ful floral offerings bore silent tri­ bute to the esteem in w'hich deceased was held and sympathy for the sor­ rowing family. Temporary entomb­ ment was made in the Ingersoll Mau­ soleum, the pall bearers being Messrs. William Shelton, Robert Kernohan, James Wallace, Marshall Mackay, William Collins and Johfi Rowland.

Towards the. conclusion of the meeting, which was attended 'by about 700 delegates and Libera] party .workers, the meeting went on record as being strongly behind tuo Rt. Hon. W. L. M. King and his pol­ icy, past, present and future. This was introduced from the floor by W. C.

Without exception all those who addressed the meeting spoke first of all of the lamentable loss to Canada jn the death of Lord Tweedsmuir, Governor-General. At The opening of the meeting, Chairman D.

MRS. F.N. HORTON HOSTESS TO THE SENIOR MUSIC CLUB Enjoyable Program ProvidedBy Members. “The Negro Spirituals” Was Subject ForStudy. The Senior Music Club met on Wednesday afternoon, at the home of Mrs. F. N. Horton, Assistant hostesses were Mrs. E. Gilling and Miss M. Dickie. The president, Mrs. H. G. Furlong, introduced the subject chosen for study, “The Negro Spirituals.” This body of folk songs is unsurpassed among the folk songs of the world, unequalled in the poignancy of their beauty. The Spirituals were literally forged of sorrow in the heat of re­ ligious fervour. Far from his native land and customs, despised by those among whom he lived, experiencing the pang of the separation of loved ones on the auction-block, knowing the hard task-master, feeling the lash, the Southern negro seized Chris­ tianity, the religion of compensations in the life to come for the ills suf­ fered in the present existence. The result was a body of songs voicing all the cardinal virtues of Christian­ ity—patience — forbearance — love —faith and hope—through a neces­ sarily modified form of primitive African music. By sheer spiritual forces, the African chants were met­ amorphosed into the Spirituals. Mrs. M. Badley prepared a broadly comprehensive' paper embracing points which gave the club a richer apppreciation of Negro Song. Many lines are less than trite, irrelevant repetition might become tiresome, but they arc saved by their naivette. Yet there is more poetry than could be expected from a forcedly ignoz ant people working in an alien lang­ uage. Their source of inspiration was the Old Testament Much of the Hebraic austerity is lost through the infusion of Negro charm. Interesting articles were read by Miss J. Coventry and Miss M. Haffy on the achievements of Marian An­ derson and Paul Robeson. Recordings of songs of these great ringers were enjoyed.

Tune The present regard in which Negro music is held is due primarily to recognition of the beauty of the Spirituals and overwhelmingly to the work of negro composer*, mut-kians and singers such as Marian Anderson ;ind Paul Robeson. Colored musicians, are soloists for Symphony and Phil­ harmonic orchestras; colored ringers draw concert-goes* of the highest classes; Negro poets and writers find entree to all the important maga­ zines; negro authors have their books put out by leading publishers— a far cry from the day* immediately following Emancipation. |It is * tre4- mendously significant change. The programme committee is to be com­ mended for arranging this pro- granupe of present-day educational value. Ingersoll “Y” Girls Defeated London 27-24 The Ingersoll “Y" girls’ cage team met their toughest competition of the seasem last Friday night at St. James’ gymn, when for three quar­ ters they trailed the much-improved London “Y" entry in the Western Ontario League, squeezing out a 27- 24 win in the last few minutes of play. The locals were short the ser­ vices of Arlene Greenaway, sturdy forward, who has been effective on recovering rebounds under the bas­ ket, and the style of defense put up by the visitors, effectively kept out Ingersoll forwards who were forced to resort to long shots. Quarter score* were: 1st, London, 11; Inger­ soll, 7; 2nd, London, 21; Ingersoll, 14; 3rd, London, 24; Ingersoll, 21.

With this game the standing for the group is u follows: W. L. Ingersoll ................................ 3 0 St. Thomas ... ;... 2 1 London .............................. 0 4 Two more games which are home- and home affairs, are to be played with London, and St. Thomas re­ turn's here for an engagement next month, while the locals have yet to meet the Saints on their home floor.

R. VEALEProprietor ana EditorPHONES — Tribune Office, 13 - Residence, 5o«— Member of —-The Canadian Weekly Newspapers* Association THURSDAY, FEBRUARY I5th, 1940 It All Depends The Duke of Windsor, whe nhe first visited High River, where the E. P. Ranch is located, is quoted as having said that the difference between a farmer and an agriculturist is that “the farmer makes hi* money in the country and wastes it in the city and an agri­ culturist makes his money in the city and wastes it in the country." Naturally, the sally—-which was not original—met with loud laughter from the roomful of farmer.* and ranchers at the luncheon at which H.RjH. spoke. No matter who said it first the saying has a great deal of truth in it. 1 am neither farmer nor agricul­ turalist, although I live in the country—but I am rapidly becoming philosopher enough to realize that without the ingrained knowledge of living things that comes from .growing up with them, a city man is just 180 pound* of inexpert weight And I haven't even the satisfaction of thinking that a farmer in my job would be as helpless as I would be in his. It always seems to me that anyone who has parsed out of "Grade Seven" or Senior Fourth” is capable of writing down what he sees, and does and thinks.To get back to the subject of weight. Last Satur­ day we felled a tree. It was an elm; a lovely majestic tree, a century and a quarter old. Of course it was ■ shame to cut the tree down but there was a reason. Forty or fifty years ago a high wind or a flash of lightning tore a big branch from the elm and rip­ ped a cruel gash down the trunk. For a long time it didn’t matter to anyone except the tree, and it bravely making the best of things, grew thicker and taller and spread its leafy branches wider and wider. Unfortunately, the thicker the trunk grew, the. wider and deeper grew the wound in its trunk until at last there was danger that the next high wind would blow the tree down. There was orily one thing to be done. Just as a decayed tooth must come out for the good of the rest of the body, or a dictator-infected people must be disinfected for the good of the rest of the world, the tree had to come down. In its century and a quarter of life that elm had grown to a great height and had spread its branches over such an area that the problem was to get it down without breaking nearby trees or injuring the house. I wrote, “we felled a tree”—as a matter of fact, 1 felled it. But only because I weigh 180 pounds— not because I am a woodsman. A friend of mine who i«r as good a stone-mason as ever built a chimney, as mighty a hunter as ever spent two weeks in the bush and came home with an alibi and as good a log­ ger as ever topped a B.C. Fir, together with a young fellow-sawyer, undertook the job. One of the two huge main branches they lopped off on Friday while I was at wonk. The other was cut nearly through when I arrived on the ^cene on Sat­ urday afternoon. High above the cut an end of a 150 foot rope was tied. The other end of the rope was anchored to a sturdy trunk 100 feet away. As I watched they cut through as far as was safe. Then because the big limb had been inclined by decades of prevailing wqsteriy winds in the wrong direction, they put a strain upon the rope to start the fall 40* .wards the dear space. They strained, and took up the slack of the rope, and strained again. The tree swayed towards them. Yet each time it reached a certoitutiniD habit of years asserted itself and the massive limb straightened again and inclined to the east - So I volunteered. Volunteered with all the diffi­ dence of the untried amateurs. “Can you use more weight?" My friend looked me over. Not as you would look over the man who is paying you for the job—more as you would look over a heifer or a shout at the country fair before making an offer. “I think your weight will just about de it," he said, "pull when. I tcfll you to, and,when she starts to go run back towards the house.” With my added weight about the fourth pull started the fall. But I didn’t run towards the house. Neither did the two experts. . We all fell on our back,* in the sn</w and watched the big branch crash down. It didn’/fa ll just where we wanted it, but our efforts were (sufficient to keep it from doing any great damage. \ And the moral? Well there isn’t much of a moral nnlers it is that just little bit of additional weight added to the practised work of the expert will some­ times do a job that could not be accomplished with­ out the co-operation. In other words it all depends. Take this matter of the war. Right no\v we are faced with' the direct responsibility for Canada’s share in the job the Empire has undertaken. In the next few weeks we are to elect a new parliament. We can’t all be-experts but we can add our weight. And that extra 180 pounds may do the trick. This election is one without any need for politics and the Dominion has no need for politicians. Nd political party has a monopoly of the brains and it all depends upon us electors what sort of effort Canada will be able to make. Recruiting officers do not adk recruits what political party they belong to—they select the fittest regardless of politics, creed or color. That is what we Canadians should do as voters when the candidates offer, them­ selves—select the fittest Britain’s Shop Is Wide Open News from England tells of enemy propagandists seising evefy opportunity to suggest that the industry of democratic Britain is too fully occupied in work­ ing for the war to have any goods left to export. Lord Dudley Gordon, new Premdeht of the Feder­ ation of British Industries, the largest association of industrialists in the world, meets thia challenge in a special message to Canada by saying: “The great task of fumfcdiing our fighting forces, and in part tho^e of our allies, with the best equip­ment obtainable has not. lessened our efforts to keepgoing ami indeed m many direction* to increase ournormal overaea- trade?"We anticipate, and we are ready to meet, callson our soi vices from all over the world especially fromCanada and other Empire countries, great and small,South America am} neutral European countries. Neith­er Britain's industry nor her Government i* losing sight of the vital part exports wiM play in Britain’* great stand for democracy. “Inevitably the needs of the fighting Services come first; even so, we have solid reserves of productive capacity, a^n power and inventive skill. In short we welcome inquiries rrom overseas and are ready to meet the demands of customers, old and new." YOUR HELP IS NEEDED Canada Buying More British Can Canada bought 20 per cent, more Briti,di cars dur­ ing the first three months of the war than in the same period the year before. Three hundred vehicles a day, the Society of Motor Manufacturers announces, were exported to countries throughout the world on each working day of the third month of war, an ipcrease of 26 per cent, over the year before. Records for any year in the history of the British motor car industry were set up in exports of British motor cars during September, October and November to Australia, India and Burma, Portugal! and Uruquay.

A TUBERCULOSIS CONTROL OBJECTIVE If one province of Canada can re­ duce its tuberculosis death rate so that it is 47% less than that for the country as a whole, it is safe to take the lowest rate as an objective in tuberculosis control. Even assuming that Saskatchewan’s climate may be more favorable to the keeping down of the tuberculosis mortality, the difference in the death rate is so marked that those who are working to conquer this disease may well be encouraged. Dominion Government figures for 1938 credit Saskatchewan with hav­ ing only 28.8 deaths from tuber­ culosis per 100,000 people. Canada’s average was 54.6. This, of course, is a splendid improvement in the last decade, ten years ago there being over 80 death? per 100,000 people. If the low rates for Saskatchewan had applied to all Canada in 1938 there would have been only 3233 deaths in toad of the actual number of 6122. When it is considered that the Canadian rate is only one quarter of what it w m at the turn of the century, an achievement of which this country may be proud, those who are *speeializing in the fight against tuberculosis may well feel justified in working toward the ob­ jective of securing a Dominion average equal to Sa.«dcatchewan’s. This would, naturally, mean that some provinces might even excell Saskatchewan's record—perhaps Sas­ katchewan itself—and to prove that even this is possible, it is pointed out that in some Canadian cities there are now only 15 death per 100,000 population from tuberculosis. All this week citizens throughoutCanada are being asked to contri­bute to The Canadian Legion WarServices’ appeal for 500,006.An examination of this non-profit making organization, a subsidiary of the Canadian Legion itself, imme­ diately impresses one with the nec­ essity of enabling it to carry on its vitally important activities, not only in Canada but also in England and France. Readers of this newspaper who are aware.of the Legion’s efforts in pro­ viding education facilities for the men so that they may continue their studies while on active service and thus equip themselves for their re­ turn to eivil life, who have read of the splendid work being done in maintaining morale and esprit-de- corps by means of entertainment, and who know of the advice and guidance that the Legion is giving the men on all problems arising from war duty, must sdrely be encouraged in making their donations generously and without delay. We in Canada, who are so far re­ moved from war zones, are perhaps influenced to some extent by a false perspective of the struggle that lies ahead. We fail to grasp the full sig­ nificance of the sacrifices our fight­ ing men will be called upon to make. To put it bluntly, we lack a war spirit. It will take but one catas­ trophe involving our forces to make us realize that we are at war—a war that from all indications is going to be the most horrible in all history. The welfare needs of our fighting men will be many and it would be unfair to us to expect that the mili­ tary authorities should assume the added responsibility of providing for these needs. This responsibility can be carried out most satisfactorily by organized and officially endorsed bodies such as The Canadian Legion War services. Imbued with the conviction that its efforts must primarily be directed in such a way as to contribute to mil­ itary efficiency, and thus help to win this war as speedily as possible, the Legio^i is also looking to that day when peace js declared and our men return to resume their places as cit­ izens. With that in mind the Leg­ ion has under way the most remark­ able education scheme ever designed for Canadians under wartime condi­ tions. Studied from all angles the ser­ vices being rendered by this organ­ ization cannot fail to make a great contribution to Canada’s war effort and the rehabilitation of our men when the war is over. And if we are preoccupied with visions of what is taking place today, it would be well to peer a little farther into the fu- Mrs. Daniel Desmond Laid To Rest The funeral of Elizabeth McCaul- ley, widow of the late. Daniel Des­ mond, who passed away on Tuesday, February 6th, was held from her late residence, Jura Lane, on Thursday morning last, at 7.45 o’clock, to the Church of the Sacred Heart, where requiem mass was solemnized at 8 o’clock, by Rev. Father A. Fuerth, pastor of the church. The service “Tell your boss I’ve come to see him,” growled the broad-shouldered man to the diminutive office boy. “My name is Daniels.” The boy inspected the visitor. “So you’re Mr. Daniels,” he said. “That’s awkward.” * . Daniels—“What do you mean— awkward?” Office Boy—“I’ve got orders to throw you out.” The death took place early Monday morning, of Mrs. Eliza Chilton, aged 87 years, at the home of her son-in-law, S. W. Graydon, Metcalfe street On Monday evening, the Mason* of Ingersoll had the very great pleasure of re-opening their hall after being in the hands of carpenters and decorators for the past two months or more.

'Perkins on behalf of King Hiram Lodge, recorded by Bro. Rev. John Pollock. Rt. Wor. Bro. LA-Col. Dr. Donald M. Sutherland, P.D.D.G.M. of Wilson District, No. 6, and Rt. Wor. Bro. W. H. Wardhope, Hamilton, Deputy Grand Master of the Grand Lodge of Canada, gave very fine addresses. Rt. Wor. Bro. H. iP. StoAeman, D-D.GJM. of Wilson 'District No. 6, acted a,* toast master. Those who spoke were: Rt. Wor. Bro. W. H. Wardhope, Bro. Donald Sutherland, M.P., Rt. Wor. Bro. Lt-Col. Dr. Donald M. Sutherland, Rt. Wor. Bro. Geo. Naylor, Bro. Dr. J. M. Rogers, Bro. Geo.

Tune. Ford Sales Show Marked Increase Retail deliveries of new cars and trucks for the month of January, show an increase of 46 per cent over the same month in 1939, Ford Motor Company of Canada, Limited, ’ reports. Greatest impetus to this incrcasng volume of business comes from West­ ern Canada with Saskatchewan re­ porting the almost incredible in­ crease of 626 per cent over the same month last year while Manitoba had an increase of 116 per cent Complete eales figures for the month in total new sales in Canada show i Eord passenger car deliveries increased 32 per cent; Mercury 8 de­ liveries by 8 per cent; Lincoln- Zcphyr deliveries by 41 per cent and light commercial and truck deliveries by 118 per cent. Samuel L. Shelton, president of McVittie and Shelton Limited, Inger­ soll, local Ford dealer, reports an increase of 100% in sales to date in 1940 over the same period last year. All Canadian branches show sub­ stantial increases in new units which indicates that the restoration of buy­ ing power is general across the Do­ minion. Not only was new car and truck business good_ in January but the value of Ford dealers' used car sales also showed a healthy increase of 23 per cent in the Dominion compared with January, 1939. > Joseph Morris of Dorchester, spent yesterday with Mr. James Motfiton.

Free services have been sup­ plied in the 69 branches across Can­ ada, and in the 30 odd huts and booths in camps, training centres, and depots. At the end of December these services had reached the im­ pressive total of over 500,000 par­ ticipations and had ranged all the way from furnishing hot showerwto arranging weddings. AU branches are open to men in uniform. Six “Y” men accompanied the First Division overseas, and “Y” ser­ vice will be resumed in France when the Division crosses the channel. The British Y.M.C.A. is of course already at work. The Beaver Club, Y.M.C.A. center in London, England, will re­ open officially on February 17th, and a Canadian “,Y” Secretary has been appointed senior officer in charge. Major J. W. Beaton, general secre­ tary of the Montreal Association, has been assigned for the duration to the military service work of the ”Y” both at home and overseas. Major Beaton was senior “Y" offi­ cer in the Great War, and supervised the total war work of the “Y” which from August, 1914, to December, 1922, operated war services on a non­ profit basis involving a money re­ ceipt of $20,482,850, of which $4,- 600,000 was by ptfblic subscription. The detailed account audited by two separate firms of chartered account­ ants showed a balance of $43,910, which was assigned for work with re­ turned soldiers at Christie Street Hospital in Toronto and Ste. Anne de Bellevue. The present extra work of the “Y” occasioned by War Services is being financed by bank loans, pending a National campaign to raise suffic­ient funds not only for the war work, but also for the important normal work of the various Y.M.C.A.’s. This campaign is now being organized by a large and representative committee from Halifax to Vancouver and will begin on April 5th.

Start, K.C., a past president of the club. President Kiwanian Alex. Yule, occupied the chair and the speaker was formally introduced by Kiwan­ ian F. Earl Johnston, who related many services that had been rendered the club iby Mr. Start. On behalf of in voicing a welcome to Mr. Start who was given a rousing reeeotion as he rose to speak. “A Nation Within A Nation,” was the subject of the speaker’s address; Mr. Start presented his interesting talk in a most able manner, and it is reprinted here verbatum. “On October 25th last, the eyes qf the world were on the Province\of Quebec where a Provincial elect­ ion was being fought on issues which if answered by the people in favour of the then Premier, Maurice Duples­ sis, would have amounted to nothing short of disaster to Canada’s War effort And we all recall the frankly pessimistic and dubious tone of the press of the rest of Canada concern­ ing the outcome; indeed I do not re- calLone writer who unreservedly pre­ dicted the downfall of Mr. Duplessis. And we also recall the sense of re­ lief within Canada and wave of approval within Canada, when the people of Quebec on that occasion declared overwhelmingly against separation and non-participation in Canada’s War effort and restored peace and unity on the home front. (Mr. Duplessis was swept from, power because he misjudged the temper of the people of Quebec and- underrated their intelligence and loyalty. And just a,* they were mis­ judged by Mr. Duplessis on that oc­ casion, so have they been misjudged on many occasions by their English- speaking compatriots. Misjudged be­ cause of our failure to study their temperament history and back­ ground, because of our failure to ac­ cept certain fundamentals when deal­ ing with our relations with them. I hope that my brief and quite gener­ al diseuarion on Quebec’s place and destiny in our national life will serve to call attention to_some important considerations so frequently over­ looked. We are told there are about thirty different racial groups in Canada. And whether they be Ukranians, Poles or Scandinavians, far from re­ sisting assimilation, they are eager to merge as quickly as possible into the more or 'less standard Anglo- Canadian type, with little or no de­ sire to retain a connection with the country; of their origin. And so in momenta of exasperation, people of Ontario and the other provinces ask the question, “Why don’t Quebec French-Canadians act like the rest of * us, quit this content elbowing around in the national scene demand­ ing their own schools and the use of their own language and they won't behave, then let us compel them.” Even a casual study discloses many reasons why our French compatriots have not been assimilated like Can­ adians of other racial origins, fur­ ther that there is an overwhelming probability that they never will beassimilated 'and never will lose their identity. Indeed I am sure that upon careful consideration most uf us would agree that -Canada would be the poore.' if it were possible to Ang­ licize our French compatriots. I wish to deal with these statements. The fact of the matter is that the French-Canadian.-. ■ were a distinct homogeneous race long before the English came to Canada and nothing has happened unce to alter that it- "Oh. let me.go!" a blazing reaction.

Thvst- French came fromNormandy about three centuries ago,1630-1670 and there have been noadditions to the steede of any conse­quence since that time, a ratheramazing fact. Few people on earthcan show a pedigree or such racialpurity and we wonder if Hitler hasheard of them. When France left her Canadian colonies to the English 180 years ago there were about 60,000 farmers and trepperw. These 60,000 have to-day grown to five and a half million das­ cendants if -we include those in the United States. Three million con­ stitute nearly one third Canada’s total population and one of the most important minority groups in the British Ehrpire. The British made no effort to ab­ sorb this French group. Indeed by force of circumstances, because the French were overwhelming in num­ bers and it was necessary to obtain their loyal support agaipst revolting American colonists, the British delib­ erately set out in the opposite direc­ tion. The French were treated not as conquered people but as citizens of the Empire. The Quebec Act of 1774 is the real foundation of Quebec’s present position, the Charter of French-Canada. They were granted the use of their own laws and the free exercise of their own religion. Nothing was said about language for the reCt-Ton that it was never antici­ pated any other than the French language would be in use. This policy of appeasement 'bore fruit and saved Canada for the Empire, because 10 years later the French- Canadians successfully refused the American colonist invaders, and in the defence of their own territory, found for the first time their unity as a Canadian people. Remember that this took place before there was any settlement of what is today On­ tario, and before the arrival of the United Empire Loyalists. The British North America Act, the constitution of 1867 as -the French-Canadian points out followed and maintained The Quebec Act of ,1774. Wilfrid Bovey in his book published in 1938, “The French-Canadian To-Day,” says, bottom page 145 “The domin­ ating ide.i of the constitution of 1867 is that of a contract, of a treaty between two races, the French and English communities; of two religions, one Catholic and the other Protestant. The basis.of union was perfect equality of treatment for the two ethnic groupp who agreed to sign this political convention.” Then so mudh for the legalized and constitutional right of French-Can­ adians to retain their distinct and separate identity. French-Canadians arc homogen­ eous and distinct culturally as well ap racially. There is a French-Can­ adian culture perfectly distinct from that of France and just as North American as that of the United States. The main reason is prob­ ably that the French-Canadian is ahd always has been isolated; hw culture is his life. His culture has three main components, a religion, an edu­ cation closely linked with religion and a language. The Province of Quebec, French-Canada’:, etrong-hold has beside.- all that, and as preserved by the constitution, its own French law. English Canadians have often enough attacked thij cultural citadel only to discover its strength. And they are not the only ones to make this discovery. There has always been quite a todo in the United States oVer converting their various alien group? into 106% Americans into the shortest possible time, but somehow it does not work insofar as the French-Canadians in the United States are concerned A few yeaqi ■go --chool and radio seemed 'to be Americanizing them. Aa sroon as the trend pointed eut, the obatiu- ■te spirit of the people began work­ ing in the opposite direction. To-day a powerful French radio station in Montreal supplies New England list­ eners with the French program, they want. The automobile affords easy communication with Oanada. French speaking societies are on the in­ crease. The Catholic Chuich is a a powerful agency in the survival in the United State- of the Canadi.’.n mentality. Altogether do immigrants to the United States have shown such successful resistance to the melting pot. And if they remain a distinct group iu the United States, is it not idle talk for us EngHah-Canadians to advocate" absorption in Canada where nur French compatriots enjoy still far greater advantages in com­ parative numbers and constitutional recognition. Some Irish refugee im­ migrants came out to this country at the time of the Irish potato fam­ ine and married French-Canadian girls. To-day we find families by the name of Murphy wholly French-Can­ adian in language, religion and out­ look. The only remaining trace -of there Irish refugees is the family name. Why do the French-Canadians hold so tenaciously to their own FEATURE 1939 RESULTS AN INCREASE In Total Assets to ..... $9,852,000 In Total Income to - - - - • 1,528,000 In Reserve for Policies and Annuities t o ------ - 8,835,000 In Payments to Living Policy- holders and Beneficiaries to > 740,000 In Additional Security to Pol­ icyholders Including Surplus, Contingency Reserves and Paid-up Capital to .... 720,000 New insurance paid for and revived during the year amounted to $4.211,794.00, increasing the fatal insurance in forca to $38,114,680.00 CHARLES P.

Obviously became the French-Canadian believes that only by speaking the language of his for­ bear's brought from Normandy, the language of his literature and his folk songs, and by worshipping in the manner he has been-taught and his ancestors before him, can he work out his true destiny and achieve real happiness. And because of the important place of religion in his c ulture, and because of the isola­ tion of his position, there must be a close connection .between his relig­ ion and his educational system. To the French-Canadian mind there can be no such thing as secular education. The French Revolution in its irrelig- ous aspects shock and horrified the French-Canadian with his deeply re­ ligious nature. To him education i* the revelation of the works of the Creator of all things^ and therefore education and religion must be one. After all when we come to examine the situation, there is not such a sinister connection between church and education in Quebec as is some­ times contended. The preservation of the French ideology involves the question of two points of view, both comprehensible. Knglibh-Canadians believe in-the EnglL-.h point of view, that English language and methods are superior, and necessary, and that all should conform. French-Canad­ ians hold by British traditions—in­ deed it is largely to them that Can­ ada owes its Briti'h tradition—But FrenchJCanada does not wdnt an Eng­ lish mind' which is a very different thing. Sir Wifrid Laurier once put the matter very clearly when reply­ ing to a toast proposed by the Lord Mayor of London in which the Mayor had eaid much about the English race. Sir Wilfrid said “All of the subjects of the Crown in the Em­ pire are not English race. -I am of the French race and I am proud of my origin, yet I am British to the core.” French-Canadians are exercising an increasing influence in the Can­ adian political scene. We realize this if we examine Canadian population figures. In 1911 there were 2,000,000 French-Canadians in Canada. Now the figure exceeds 3,000,000 in spite of the fact this represents natural increase only in spite of-, emigration to the United State's. At the present time the rate p^r thousand in natural increase in Ontario is just a trifle over one-half the rate in Quebec. Since 1931, immigration to Canada has almost ceased. Indeed shortly before the beginning of the war, we read that more Canadians were going to England tten Englishmen wure coining to Canada. . All thir must present a rather startling pic­ ture for those who advocate and be­ lieve in a completely Anglicized CunntLi. There is another important point. The French Canadian is political minded. There is (i saying “In On­ tario politics is a hobby, in the Mari­ time Provinces It is a calling and in Quebec it is a religion.” A story told (Continued on p^e 7) “A man called while you were out, sir—mid he wanted to thrash you,” said the office boy to the editor. “Well," remarked the editor, “what did you say fx> him?” "1 was rorry you were not in, sir.” id ncJCST LIKE J OLD CHUM No sense \denying 1 yourself the j > COMFORT Of[ CONSTANTI het water when a \ few cents idaily is all jit COSTS / /to operate A SELF-ACTION 1 L GAS WATER j \ HEATER A .

The political picture in relation to Quebec is slightly confuse'’ and yet there are some definite trends. The people are conservative in out­ look and slow to act and yet within the past few years they have made dramatic changes in the Quebec political scene. In 1936 they swept out of office the Liberal administra­ tion of Mr. Tachereau, unchallenged for 40 years, because it had outlived- its usefulness. Again in October of this year they treated quite as rough­ ly the man who not only cast scorn and bitterness. And let us above all cherish, promote and de­ velop and most carefully preserve the common ground and the common meeting placer" between the two races. There must be understanding, there must be tolerance, there must be respect the one for the other, there must be a substantial com­ promise, to give Canada peace on the home front and harmony in the future.” Prolonged applause greeted the speaker at the conclusion of the ad­ dress and the thanks of the gather­ ing were tendered to Mr. Start by Kiwanian Clifford A.

One lesson appears plain, the people of Quebec want good Government and are less interested every year in party labels. Another lesson plainly appears, French Can­ ada will unite in a solid block on one issue, on any change wlftch would threaten the survival of the French of Quebec as a separate and distinct people. This does not mean that they will not co-operate with the rest of Canada, but it does mean that they will not consent to any change whereby they lose their identity. If we accept this view, and my ar­ gument has failed if you do not ac­ cept, we ask then what chance of achieving a happy united Canadian people. I think the chances are bright. Contented with his lot, de­ voted to his job, friendly toward his neighbour, with high moral stan­ dards and a happy disposition, loyal to Canada, the only country he has ever known, and we recall it was a French-Canadian who composed “O Canada,” grateful and proud of his British tradition and connection with the British Crown as was evidenced by his welcome to Their Majesties in Quebec City on May 15th last— we recall the story of the old Frenchman sitting on the street-curb at the close of the eventful day, his face still expressing amazement and wonderment and repeating “To-day I have seen my King”—that is the kind of citizen Canada needs. You s nsk what about his insistence on race and language and will that be a stumbling block. Has it not always been the special achievement of British people everywhere, and they have suceeded where others have' failed, in uniting different races un­ der one flag, these same British people who have always advocated civil and religious liberty and indeed" are to-day fighting for it After all both sides have valuable contribu­ tions for the advancement and happi­ ness of the other. Surely the relig­ ion, language, music, architecture^ and customs of our French-speaking compatriots add immeasurably to the richness and colour of our nat­ ional life. Just consider what our friends to the South of us would say If they could claim the second largest French city, in the world. One rea­ son we believe in and support service clubs like this one, and I am not sure but what it. is about 'the most important reason, because mingling together and the under­ standing and tolerance created amongst men of different callings, outlook and religion, and in their larger spheres, races and nationali- ti<yt And so in dealing with the re­ lations between the two great Eng- lirfi and French speaking peoples of this country, both during the present struggle and after peace has been achieved and Canada resumes a more normal course let us remember that there are* people in this country whose roots are not in Great Brit­ tain and who of necessity lack a whole range of feelings and relation­ ship which others of us have.
