Its war work at home is geared
into the programs of local auxiliary
war work co-ordinating committees,
an officer in each district being a
member of such committees. The
war service it will render both over
seas and home include:
Chaplain service, hospital visita

DEMCATION SERVICE

I. C. I. Debating Club
Held Monthly Meeting
Mrs. J. M. Malcolm
Addressed Victoria Auxiliary
BORN
COCKER—Woodstock General
Hospital, on Monday, March 4th,
1940, to Mr. and Mrs. Wm. G.
Cocker, (nee Christina Munro), a
son—(James Robert.)O r -..
The regular monthly meeting of
the Victoria Auxiliary to the W. M.
S. of St. Paul's Presbyterian Church
was held on Monday evening, with
the president, Mrs. H. H. Turner,
presiding. Miss E. Bower took charge
of the devotional exercises with Miss
Edna Currie assisting. Mrs. J. M.
Malcolm addressed the meeting, bas
ing her remarks on the motto of the
W.M.S., “The World For Christ”
Touching briefly on the work of the
missionaries both at home and
abroad, the speaker portrayed most
clearly the influence they are exert
ing in binding our Empire more
closely together.
Mrs. C. A. Love, at whose home the
meeting was held, served coffee at
the close of the busine&s. Assisting her
were Mrs. J. J. McArthur, Mrs. R.
Fortner, Miss Annie Moon and the
Misses Janet and Effir Bower.
Sunday, March 3rd, was indeed a
“red letter” day in the history of
Ingersoll, when a number of visitors
from the surrounding Assemblies
gathered with the members of the
Pentecostal Tabernacle to return
thanks and praise unto God for His
abiding presence and blessing, when
the re-decorated church with new
front was dedicated to the glory of
God.
The afternoon service opened with
the orchestral number, “Lead Me To
Calvary,” under the capable leader
ship of the pastor. A beautiful solo,
sung by Evangelist Elwin Argue of
Winnipeg, was greatly enjoyed.
Rev, R. E. McAlister of London,
was the guest speaker. He said he
was glad to note a marked improve
ment in the Tabernacle, at every
visit he made, and it was a great
pleasure to be present on such an
occasion and see the congregation
moving forward, trusting that
greater things may be accomplished
by His mighty power. His message
on “God’s financial plan for the
church,” will not soon be forgotten,
and will surely bear fruit in the As
sembly. He read the latter half of the
3rd chapter of Malachi, his text being
Leviticus 27:30: “And ail the tithe
of the land, whether of the seed of
the land or of the fruit of the tree,
is the Lord’s; it is holy unto the
Lord.” The scripture is very plain
in teaching that God’s people of all
ages have given a regular percentage
to support the Lord’s work from their
substance, and that this amount is
one tenth of their income. The man,
who is a professing Christian, and
who docs not tithe faithfully and con
sistently, is essentially dishonest, and
God calls him a robber.
The pretty flowers and ferps kind
ly donated by the Bearss Florist
Shop, were much appreciated. The
gorgeous bloom presented a very
spring like appearance and added
so much to the newly decorated
interior. *,
Despite the inclement weather and
unfavorable streets and roads, there
was a good attendance. Congratula
tions are surely due Rev. P. H. and
Mrs. Hawtin, in their untiring efforts.
A meeting of the I. C. 1. Debating
Club was held on Monday, March 4,
in Form 9B at four o'clock. After
opening the meeting with a few'
words, the president, Grace Fair
banks, called for the minutes. In the
absence of the secretary, tb« min
utes were read by Margaret Beck.
The debate for this meeting, was
"Resolved that it is better for a boy
or girl to be brought up in the coun
try than in the city.” The affirmative
was upheld by Dolly Stephenson and
Nancy Cummings, the negative by
Letabeth Waring and Loula Tatdlis.
As Nancy Cummings was absent, be
cause of illness, Ethelwyn Daniel
kindy consented to read her address.
The affirmative dwelt on- the fresh
air, fruit and vegetables to be found
in the country. Crime was also
stressed as an important factor in
the difference between country and
city life as there is a greater tempta
tion in the city.
The negative dwelt on the oppor
tunities for advancement in the city.
They stressed also parks, swimming
pools and arenas found in the city.
The judges, Miss Barber, Mr. Her
bert and Keith Sommer retired to
form a decision. Mr. Bole gave ar.
excellent criticism of the debate
showing ways that the members
could improve their debating.
The judges’ decision and criticism
was given by Mr. Herbert and was
found to favor the affirmative. The
class vote favored the negative.
Betty Mills then moved a vote of
thanks to the judges and chc debaters
and the meeting was adjourned.

ation of $10.00 to this fund.
In response to a request for wool
len articles to be shipped from the I.

Chapter ward in the Alexandra Hos
pital was made and a new member
was received into the Chapter.
A very splendid paper on “Th«
Building Up of British Supremacy in
India,” was read by Mrs. James Bax
ter. This told much of tho history of
the old East India Company, a pow
erful monopoly controlling every
trade outlet and much of the product
ive lands of the country until curbed
by the British government.
At the close of the business part
of the meeting, a social hour was eh?

The Finlanders
Only a year or so ago, there appeared amongst
these daily Facts a reference to Finland, but so much
have the gallant people of that country come into our
thought? it will be timely to say something more
about them. The Finlanders have swelled the ranks
of those small countries that have had to fight for
their very existence and have done it successfully.
So amazing has been the success of the Finns in the
defence of their native land against the vast hordes
of Russia, that it has evoked a world’s wonder and
admiration.
There are, according to the last census, more than
25,000 people of Finnish origin in Canada. About half
of them were bom in the Dominion and the other
half in Finland. Nearly all the Finns are Lutherans.
Finnish and Swedish are the official languages of
Finland.
The land they love so well is about 150,000 square
miles in extent, or approximately almost twice the
size of the Maritime Provinces and Newfoundland
added together. Like Canadian territory, it extends
into the Arctic.
The country was conquered by Russia from Sweden
in 1809 and united to the Russian Empire, as an au
tonomous but not sovereign Grand-Duchy. When the
Russian Empire broke down in 1917, Finland declared
herself an independent sovereign state. Relations be
tween Finland and Russia were finally settled by
treaty in 1920. About 90 per cent of the people
speak Finnish and 10 per cent Swedish. There are
nearly four million inhabitants. The Aland Archipel
ago, a group of 300 islands at the mouth of the Gulf
•f Bothnia, belongs to Finland.
Here are some interesting facts. There are three
universities and several technical and commercial high
schools. The forests are a great source of wealth; in
Europe only Russia is so wealthy in forests as Fin
land. The merchant fleet consists of about 600 steam
ers, over 180 motor vessels, and 110 sailing vessels.
Service in the army is universal and compulsory.
The Republic is governed by a single chamber,
elected by the people. Finland was the first country
to concede woman suffrage and representation and it
is noteworthy \that it was gained without agitation,
it was for some years a Prohibitionist country, the
only one in Europe.
The national flag is white with a blue cross.
Change in Delivering
A gradual evofction has been taking place in the
method of delivering live stock to public stock yards
and packing plants during recent years. Figures
compiled by the Market Information Service, Domin
ion Department of Agriculture, show that when the
use of trucks for marketing live stock began to attain
popularity around 1932 about 22 per cent of the cattle
delivered to stock yards in that year came by truck,
whereas in 1939, 45 per cent arrived in the same
manner.
Thirty-seven per cent of the total increase of calves;
24 per cent of hogs and 29 per cent of sheep and
lambs travelled by truck in 1932, compared with 50,
03 and 41 per cent, respectively, in 1939.
As forecast in this newspaper a short time ago,
hotel owners, tourist camp operators and business
men generally are being asked to co-operate in the
big effort to attract tourists from the United States.
Announcement was made in Ottawa last week that
these people are being circularized so that all may
realize the extreme importance of the tourist traffic
to Canada, of seeing to it that the visitor gets full
adantage of the difference in exchange. The price
of gasoline does not reflect the heavy increased cost
of producing it since the war began, and through
government regulation and the co-operation of private
industry, prices of food stuffs and commodities of all
descriptions are being kept low enough not to con
stitute a resistance to the inflow of American visitors.
With the sun appearing more spring-like every day,
agriculture is moving again into the front rank of
conversations wherever war effort is discussed. While
federal and provincial departments have been given
advice ever since the war started in the fall, the
farmer may expect increased attention from now on.
As a matter of fact, he may be scratching his head,
puzzled as to which advice he should take, before the
season is nicely under way. /
Already he is getting warning against increasing his
acreage, against the evil of over-production. From
another quarter, he may soon hear an opposite story.
But it is a safe prediction to say that in due course,
the government in power will see to it that authori
tative guidance for farmers, in so far as the war pro
gram is concerned, will eventually come from one
central point This in the interest of efficient co-op
eration towards winning the war.
Attorney General Conant will not send provincial
• police into any municipality in Ontario until so re
quested by the municipality authorities, he has an
nounced, largely because local jurisdiction is jealous
of its right- and resents outside interference. The
spoken decision, followed an argument over gambling
centres said to be in operation in municipalities ad
jacent to Toronto. The attorney general holds the
view that if municipalities in question want help, all
they have to do is ask for it; reformers, asking for
action against the gamblers, want the government to
take the initiative, disregarding the attitude of the
local police.
In these days when almost everybody seems to be
taking a turn at criticizing something or somebody
it might not be amiss to commend those people in
Ontario who are busy planning for the future, even
while the main effort is to win the war.
Within the past week, Hon. T. B. McQuesten,
minister of highways for^Ontario, advocated a three
year provincial road building program for after the
war to place returned soldiers at useful work that
would return Ontario real revenue. At Ottawa and
throughout the country, government and private buri-
ne.w representatives are doing their utmost to increase
tourist trade in Canada from the United States. The
Canadian Legion is already hard at work laying a
foundation on which can be built a machine to help
returned soldiers to readjust themselves to civilian
life after the war is over. And in almost every in
dustry, even white bard at work on war orders, ex
ecutives are constantly on the lookout for new mar
kets that can be retained after peace is signed.

IMPERIAL BANK’S USEFULNESS TO CANADIAN BUSINESS
There is a growing feeling in Ontario that the
authorities are treating militant communists with kid
gloves. When Douglas Stewart, business manager of
the Clarion newspaper which was tout down, was
sentenced to a penitentiary term, he remained defiant,
said he would use his influence for the Soviet to the
limit anywhere. Later an Appeal Court reduced
Stewart’s sentence to a shorter term in the Reform
atory. Last week when Chief Constable Draper urged
the Toronto Police Board to close two Ukranian halls
because he felt they were hot beds of subversive
activities, a Toronto aiderman came forward to plead
for the Associaton. Detective Nuraey told the board
that some members of the Associaton had been con
victed for sedition, had served penitentiary terms and
were still attached to the organization.

tion of food handlers since, to be of
I value, such examinations would have
to be so thorough that they would
be impracticable from the stand
point of time and cost” The
persons implicated in each of the
Hamilton outbreaks showed no vis
ible signs of infection but experience
proves that a large proportion of
food handlers may carry poisonous
strains of the staphylococcus with the
possibility of widespread infection.
According to the laboratory inves
tigation carried on by Mr. Deadman,
the City bacteriologist and Dr. R. J.
Wilson of the School of Hygiene,
University of Toronto, it appears
that certain strains of the staphylo
coccus have the ability to produce
a powerful intestinal toxin occasion
ing very severe symptoms when food
containing the organism is eaten.
Cream or custard confections or pas
tries afford toe opportunity for rapid
growth of staphylococci if such food
products are stored at a suitable
temperature for growth.
Dr. Wilson points out that the
person implicated in each outbreak
showed no visible, signs of infection,
but that the incidence of the staphy-
lococcus in the noses of the general
populatioh is high. Roughly, no less
than 40 of the strains of this organ
ism are liable to cause food poison
ing. “Further,” he points out,
"strains of bovine origin are capable
of elaborating an intestinal poison
and many outbreaks reported h.-rgy. > '
been attributed to milk from cows
suffering from inflammation of the
udder. A high percentage of strains
of bovine origin are known to be
poison-producing. Thus it would seem
that toe problem of control is direct
ed along two main routes. Since so
many outbreaks occur as a result of
the consumption of milk, milk pro
ducts, or foods in which milk is used
during preparation, efficient pas
teurization should be enforced wher
ever possible; and regulations should '
be promulgated for the care and
handling of cream fillings during and
after preparation!” Thus it appears
that the frequent occurrence of out
breaks of food poisoning is one more
reason why pasteurization of milk
and cream should be a universal
practice.

Something of the courage and for
titude of Canada’s men at sea, something of’the winter hardships suffer
ed both by those of the merchant
marine and of the navy, and some
thing of their urgent need of knitted
supplies and comforts from home,
was revealed this week by Comman
der D. W. Farmer, R.C.N., Naval
Branch Department of National De
fense, Ottawa.
Speaking to a largely attended
meeting of the Women’s Committee
of the Navy League of Canada, (On-’
tario Division) in Toronto, Comman
der Farmer commended toe work
being undertaken for Navy men by
many women’s groups in this prov
ince. And from him, the gathering,
presided over by Mrs. R. C. Matthews,
wife of the Honourable R. C. Mat
thews, heard first hand of the work
of those thousands of Canadians who
deserve “our moral support and up-
building in the face of a task of in
credible danger.”
Under Mrs. Matthews’ direction, a
women’s section of the Navy League
came into existence in late October of
last year.
“It was their intention to make
up 200 “ditty bags” for Ontario lads
serving in the Canadian navy. In
stead of that number, more than
2,000 bags (at an Average value of
$5 per bag), have already been filled
and despatched,” according to the
’ report of E. Frank Trimble, general
secretary of the Ontario division of
the Navy league.
"Within the past few weeks, many
women’s organizations have offered
their services and are now working
for the Navy League in centres
throughout thia province. And this
year it is hoped more than 25,000
"ditty bags” will be made up for our
boys on the high seas.”
Women of one Ontario town have
already ordered 400 pounds of wool
for the making of Navy League sup
plies, and dozens of other groups are
interesting themselves in the
League’s projects.“We need their help, to help our
men at sea,I’ officials of the OntarioNavy League organization declared.

FOOD POISONING
Illneds, more or less severe and
invariably uncomfortable, frequetly
follows the ingestion of poisoned
food. It occurs in food that has been
much handled, such as salads, foods
containing cream and eggs and a
common causative micro-organism is
the staphylococcus aureus.. In most
cases the organism reaches the food
through the agency of cooks, makers,

been a demand from the medical

Three One Act Playa, presented in
the Ingersoll Town Hall on Thurs
day evening, February 29th, by mem
bers of the Ingersoll Little Theatre
Guild were thoroughly enjoyed by
a large and most appreciative audi
ence. Representatives of the London
Little Theatre, were guestp and Mrs.
(Dr.) Skinner very kindly acted as
adjudicator and critic of the presenta
tions. She was most complimentary
on the selection of the plays and the
work of the actors. She praised the
settings and the spirit with which the
players entered into their parts.
The first presentation, “Little
Glass Houses," was a comedy by Phil
ip Johnston and Howard Agg. The
stage setting for this was an ante
room to an assembly hall in Bath,
England, in the year 1810. The stage
presented a very realistic setting and
the costumes of the actors were very
pretty and their colors blended nicely
against the background. This play
was directed by Miss Helen Bower
and those taking part were:
Mrs. Orpington, Helen Hawkins;
Jane, (her daughter), Margaret Tay
lor; Lady Titherington, Jean McKen
zie; Mrs. Carraway, Evelyn Currie;
Madame Rossignol, Marjorie Haffey.
The second play, “Jean Valjean
and the Bishop,” an episode from
“Les Miserables,” by Victor Hugo,
dramatized by Helen Albert received
particular mention from Mrs. Skin
ner. The scene was the home of the
Bishop in the year 1806. The ptay
had a particularly fine moral to it
and the acting of Jack Mayberry as
the Bishop and Robert Walton as
Jean Valjean was most outstanding
in the opinion of the adjudicator, and
the other player? all took their parts
well. Mrs. George Beck directed this
presentation and the cast was:
Madage Maglaire, Edith Wood;
Madamoiselle Baptistine, Estelle
Carney; The "Bishop, Jack Mayberry;
Jean Valjean, (a convict), Robert
Walton; A Woman, Marjorie Kear
ney; A Brigadier, Hal. Stevens.
“Cupid Rampart”, a caricature
by Percy Corrie was the third play.
It was very amusing modern satire
and the scene was the office of the
Sergeant-Registrar in the summer of
the year 1970. Miss Estelle Carney
directed this presentation. The sol
emnity of the actors and the cos
tumes kept the audience in laughter
throughout. It was very different
from the usual rfln of plays and the
setting was splendid and in keeping
with the story. Those taking part

$78.00 per month. For a six months
period of apprenticeship his daily
pay may be only $1.50 per day or a
total of $67.50, with marriage allow
ance. Few married seamen belong to
the lower rating. Those who are

in six months. Rates for a private
soldier are $1.30 per day, or $39.00 jt
'Tor a 30-day month. If he has a wife

tainment. Kiwanian F. Earl Johnston
appeared in the role of Confucious
and his humorous answers to ques
tions propounded by Kiwanian L. A.
Westcott, fairly brought the house
down with laughter. Many of the
questions were applied to members
of the club.
Kiwanian Royden G. Start had un
divided attention as he read a hum
orous biography of F. Heath Stone.
Another feature was numbers by a
vocal quintette composed of Rev.
Charles D. Daniel, N. Currie Wilson,
R. G. Start, F. H. Stone and F. E.
Johnston, with L. M. Sommer at the
piano. Mrs. E. A. Webber won the
ladies’ prize, a beautiful bouquet of
mixed flowers. Rev. C. D. Daniel won
the men’s prize—a barred rock
cockerel, presented in an ornately-
decorated hat box.
Major Joseph E. MeCorkel, D.S.O.,
Windsor, Lieutenant-Governor of the
Western District of Kiwanis Inter
national Ontario-Quebec-Maritimq Di
vision, was present as a visitor. He
spoke briefly, and stated lie would
pay his official visit to the club at a
later date.
The speaker of the evening was
presented to the gathering by Kiwan
ian Reg. A. Stone. Rev. Mr. Merifield
stated at the outset that everyone
was what she or he actually was to
day because of impressions* received
in earlier life, which had left a defin
ite mark that had influenced them
years ahead.
The speaker stated that through
out muej^of his life, he had collected
and saved numerous things of in
terest, especially those which had
made strong impressions upon him.
The story m connection with each
of those things mentioned was most
interesting.
Rev. Merifield first told of two
little paintings which hung in the
rectory, and which had made a last
ing impression upon his earlier mind.
They were done by a man who later
went to Marquette prison.
Again, reference was made to a
little wooden cross which occupied
a prominent place upon the little
altar in the rectory, where his own
children were to receive their early

impressions in life. In fact the crow
was in the children’s room. The
speaker stated that he at one time
had done some railroad work, and
thus had come into contact with*an
engineer of the roughest type—a
man who in his exterior way, indica
ted close contact with the harder
things of the world, and a man gen
erally regarded as having little or no
time for the things of Christ or
Christianity.
“A change came over him. He came
to church. He became one of the
finest Christians I have ever known,
and spent much of his time making
these little crosses,” said the speaker.
"Then there is the beautiful pen
and ink drawing I have of Jesus in
the Garden of Gethsemcne. This was
made by a man who mixed mortar,
and a man in whom such talent was
entirely unsuspected.
The speaker referred to two hum
orous impressions he had received
which had also held their place in
his memory, one regarding a fall of
his own while hurrying to catch up
with the choir in church, and the
other regarding a tenor singer whose
false teeth fell out just as he started
to sing at the most auspicious mom
ent following a prelude on the organ
which arose to a crescendo for the
tenor’s start. Such occurrences were
helpful in living down any sin of
conceit which might be held by hu
mans in their daily endeavors.
• Rev. Mr. Merifield told of still an
other impression he had gained, and
one which remained indelibly im
printed upon his mind. It had to do

Ingersoll "Y” Girls’ cage quintette
broke the existing tie and regained
the leadership of the western section
of the Ontario Y.W.C.C. basketball
league, when on Friday night, they
defeated St. Thomas by a 31-17 score
on the "Y” floor here. The game was
fast and exciting to the good-sized
crowd of fans. A change in strategy
which brought the customary forward
line back to the defense area, and
the local defense up to the forward
position, proved to be effective, and
the Saints sharpshooters, Doughtery
and Bel), were held to a scant 4
points, by Marguerite Murray and
Mary Halt Arlene Greenaway in a
new spot at centre, did a good job
of holding Bechtel, lanky piyot player
for St. Thomas, to 3 field goals, while
duplicating the feat herself. Helen
Lefaive found the hoop again for 15
points, after a scoring slump during
the last two or three games. Mary
Wilde played hex best game of the
season, alternating on the defense
with Beth Small, June Riley and
Leona McNoah all of whom gave
good accounts of themselves. The vis
itors used their starting five through
out not daring to substitute in a fast
and furious encounter which had the
spectators on their toes.
The locals play Frylay night in St.
Thomas, and ahother win will give
them the right to play off with the
eastern group winners.
In two good preliminaries, the fin
als of the senior girls’ town league
were played. Ruth Green’s quintette
defeated Marjorie Forman’s in the
consolation by a 14-6 score while
Joyc* Picard took the championship
from Janet Counter by a 17-6
count. Over 30 girls have been play
ing in this league for several months
and a re-organized series is to com
mence to-morrow night.
Line-ups for the Ingersoll-St.
Thomas game:
St. Thomas “Y” (17)—Cameron,

with an occasion of some years back
when he chanced to make acquaint
ances of a man in a remote district,
who had held him by a strange and
pleasant form of magnetism.
Later he learned the true identity
quality and capabilities of the man.
He had been a great tenor. He had
sung in all the great operas of the
world and showed pictures of himself
at these places. He had sung as a
soloist for a great state occasion in
England. His name was said to have
been honored all over the world—
not only in the theatre but in the
homes of earls and dukes and others
of the most cultured society.
"He exacted a promise from me,
that I would tell, at every opportun
ity, the story of his life’, that others
might benefit. He stated that his par
ents had given him education, musi
cal tuition, everything that life
could offer, except one thing, and it
was the lack of that one thing which
had meant his ultimate downfall from
his high station. That one thing
which his parents had not given
him was character, the most import
ant of all.
“And I ask you parents tonight
who have little children waiting at
home for your return as we have,
what are you 'doing or going to do
about this very important feature of
character? Are you arming them with
this great thing called character for
the days which they are to face in
future?
“You and I are the sum total
today of the impressions we have
received from time to time in W r
earlier days, and we in turn, are
doing our part each day to impress
others one way or the other,” Rev.
Mr, Merifield urged that each one
give heed to the' nature of the im
pressions he or she was making upon
the younger eyes which were watch
ing them at all times.
Kiwanian D. G. Cuthbertson ex
pressed the thanks of the club to the
speaker.
