Canadian War Veterans ___ served in the Great War of 1914-18, have none but grateful recollections •f the kindly helpfulness of the Sal omon Army. They may not have a good word to say for conditions fa which they had to fight and live for those long weeks and months and years, fa training, fa reserve and at the front, but they have nothing but fond recollections of the Salvation Army and its services. And now a sew war finds the Salvation Army again preparing to go to the front with the soldiers, to render the social welfare services dictated by the Christian Spirit of kindness. Already throughout Canada, where military training camps have been established, Salvation Army Recrea tion Centres have been organized where the soldiers may meet under happy auspices to smoke, play games, read, write, mend their clothes, se cure new aocka. mufflers, and other small comforts, which fa time of ac tive war service, loom so important Who among those who served fa France during the last war will for get the doughnuts and coffee served to all comers by the Salvation Army? And though not publicizing the fact, many of those old soldiers remember the Salvation Army sanctuaries where a man might go to read his Bible, meditate upon the uncertain ties of the soldier's life, and at times of crisis, as on the eve of battle, commune for a private moment or two with the Power over all other powers, civil or military, that exist upon this earth. To carry on its social and welfare work for Canadian soldiers in Cam ada and overseas, and for theii de pendents if need arises—in addition to its regular work among the poor and unfortunate at home in Canada, the Salvation Army needs extra funds. A ten-d^y appeal to the Can adian public with an objective of $1,009,000 got under way on March 11th, and a generous response is con fidently expected. who A g R EN NIE Two candidates have been nom mated to contest the Oxford County riding in the Federal Election on Tuesday, March 26th.

Lunney’s Mr. and Mrs. Jack Haskett Tendered A Shower Mrs. Samuel Turner Passes Away Suddenly The many friends of Mary Jane Naylor, widow of the late Samuel Turner, learned with sincere regret of her sudden passing on Tuesday, March 12th, following an illness of about seven week’s duration. The late Mrs. Turner, who was in her 79th year, was born in the County of Limerick, Ireland. She came to Ing ersoll about sixty years ago, and had been an esteemed resident of this district since that time. She was married forty-five years ago to Samuel Turner, who predeceased her eleven years ago in August. For ten years following her marriage, the family resided in West Oxford Town ship, at the Waterworks pumping station, where Mr. Turner was en gineer. Mrs. Turner was a member of S t James* Anglican Church, and her readiness to lend a helping hand at all times, and her kind and lovable nature endeared her to scores of friends who deeply regret her pass ing.Left to mourn the passing of a fiearly beloved mother is one daugh ter, Mrs. Roy Owen, Ingersoll; and one son, William Turner, Detroit Also surviving are two grandsons and a granddaughter in Detrot; two grandsons and two granddaughters fa Ingenoll, one brother, Ratv Naylorin Alberta; and four alsters^Mrs. F. C. Montague, Hazelcliffe, Saskatche wan: Mrs. T. C. Whiting, Saskatche wan; Mrs John Tanner, Brandon, Manitoba, and Miss Annie Naylor, Los Angels, California, to all of whom the sympathy of their many friends is extended in their irrepar able loss.funeral will be held this ^Thursday) afternoon, with service 3 at the house at 2 o’clock. Interment . will be made in the Ingersoll Rural Cemetery. The regular monthly meeting of the Norsworthy Chapter, I.O.D.E., was held Monday afternoon at the home of Mrs. G. D. Lunney, Charles street west, with a very good attend ance. The regent, Mrs. R. G. Start, presided. A new member was wel comed into the Order. Mrs. G. Small, the Chapter’s War Convenor, gave a splendid report of the war work being done by the members and told of the shipment which was made in conjunction with the Lady Dufferin Chapter, last week to the Finns. The members were most pleased with the splendid response given by the people of Ingersoll to this bale. In place of the bridge the chapter had contemplated holding, the mem bers decided each one would make a donation of $1.00. This is to be used to buy materials for war work. A most interesting letter was read m regards to Nasik Hospital, India,, in which the I.O.D.E. is interested. The Canadian Auxiliary Zenana Bible and Medical Mission, who take care of this work, is not supported by any church but is inter-denompiational and depend entirely on the free-will offerings of friends throughout Can ada to maintain this very needy hos pital with its dispensaries in that great city of Nasik. Indian soldiers are now fighting side by side by Brit ish and French, and their loyalty is another factor as to why we should do all that in our power lies, for these people. The Regent was asked to attend the Provincial I.O.D.E. convention to be held in Hamilton, in April, as the Chapter’s delegate. Plans are being made for the an nual Tag Day to be held the latter part of April, to raise money for the milk fund. Mrs. A. E. Lawrence gave a most interesting paper on Canada’s Air Force.

JAMES’ EVENING GUILD SPONSOR STYLE SHOW The merchant* of Ingersoll, through the medium of the energetic members of the Evening Guild of St James’ Church, presented the high lights of their spring clothes—coats, dresses and millinery, at a well-plan ned Style Show, in the parish hall, on Tuesday afternoon and evening. Mrs. H. H. MacBain as commentator, did the job well and in her charming way, introduced each model as they appeared on the platform, Mrs. Meri- field of the rectory, received the many ladies who were present. Good tast and an adaptable smart ness prevailed in the showing of day time dresses and costa, along with smart suits with their chic blouses and accessories.

Residence, 5*6 — Member of — The Canadian Weekly Newspapers’ Association THURSDAY, MARCH 14th, 19*0 The Wool Paradox: Manufacturers Fear Shortage of Cloth Despite Adequate Wool Major Douglas Hallam, secretary, of the Canadian WVolten A Knit Goods Manufacturers A.-sociation, feels that there hould be no t »(<-.■: for undue alarm or surprise in the disruption of wool sup;•lies under prerent conditions, “The wool situation,” he says, “cannot be considered Separately front the war situa tion.” There are 726,000,000 sheep in the world and these sheep produce 3,880,000,000 lbs. of wool. Of this wool 2,100,000,000 lb. enter into export trade throe quarters or 1,500,000,000 lb. originate in the British Empire. At the outbreak of this war the Brit ish Government, in order to be certain of supplies for themselves and their Allies and to prevent supplies reaching the enemy, took over all wool in Great Brit ain, Australia, New Zealand, and British India, and a considerable portion of the South African clip, in all about 75 per cent of the exportable world surplus of wool. “Anybody who can envisage the difficulties of or ganizing new channels for handling this quantity of wool, and the complex technical and financial factors involved, were not surprised that there was a disrup tion of wool supplies or that lune was necessary to create government machinery for distribution. This machinery is now turning over and appears to be working, although parts seem to be missing here and there. “What of Canada? In peacetime we grow approx imately one quarter of the wool we consume; say, production about 20,000,000 lb. as compared to 80,- 000,000 lb. consumed. For war purposes crossbred wools are required of 46’s, 48’s and 50’s qualities. We grow in Canada about 8,000,000 lb. of these quali ties and use about 20,000,000 lb. in peacetime. In wartime the quantity of cross-bred wools used in creases rapidly. In peacetime the deficit in our supply was made up by cross-breds from New Zealand, either imported direct from that sister Dominion, or via the spot markets in Great Britain. “When this war broke out there was an immediate and imperative demand for army, air force and navy serges, for friezes for overcoatings, meltons for cap doth, flannels for shirtings, socks, underwear, sweater jackets, gloves and knitted helmets. Supplies of cross bred wools in Canada were subnormal. The British Government cancelled all Canadian contracts for cross-bred wool and tops. Because of the British Control nobody knew what the prices of wool were going to be or when further supplies would be avail able to augment the meagre stocks in Canada. The wool dealers and suppliers and the manufacturers or ganized themselves and without firm orders or firm prices, on the oral instructions of the Chairman of the "War Purchasing Board, the mills got into emergency production on cloths and blankets and did an exceed ingly good job. A government price for the inadequate stock of cross-bred wools in Canada was fixed later. “What of civilian trade? It is true that the sudden and tremendous war effort put forward by the indus try caused some disorganization in civilian trade. You cannot wage war without cracking heads. But there was no protest from those who believed that incon veniences were to be expected in a war which is being fought to preserve the rights of minorities and to halt indescribably brutal persecutions of peoples because of their religion or their race. “Every effort was made by the industry in Canada to supply the needs of civilians. Arrangements were made to secure 2,500,000 lb. (on a clean basis) of cross-bred wools from Great Britain to replace wool that should normally have been used for civilian pur poses. Only just over half of this wool has reached Canada up to the present. To keep civilian require ment production going large quantites of Merino wool tops, sight unseen and with price to be determin ed later, were purchased from the Central Wool Con trol in Australia. Orders were placed in New Zealand for some ten million pounds of cross-bred wools, again without the price being known, and the first shipments were on the water, the price still unknown. Also the Government opened up the South American market for a limited period, and wools from this source are now arriving. "In spite of the heavy demands for military goods that have been made and are still being made on the mills for 1940 it would appear that all reasonable re quirements of the civilian trade can be met by the in dustry, although patience will he necessary on the part of all concerned under the conditions of a world “M«-aaag« To Our Candidates’1 A frequently inarticulate fore* has feu nd ita voice in the present federal election - - Um voice of the average man's desire for a clrtuily conducted campaign and a calm, intelligent follow-through of the election itself. The voice has been found in a “Message to our (. andidatea,” which, already signed by thousands throughout the Dominion, conumu the signatories to practising the principles they will exact of their i . nceived and produced by workers in Moral Re- Armaraent and backed by every type of Canadian, the document will be presented »<■ candidates of all parties shortly alter Nomination Day. Collection of signa ture.-., however, will continue right up to the time of "An election is a great heritage of democracy. This election ,-.jircjil’y, gives us all a chance to serve Csrsda, Our c -untry must emerge from the cam paign stronger and more united, better able to suc ceed in our task nh^ad. “It is the duty of every Canadian to put into, the campaign a h rd free from prejudice and thought of personal gain. “We must keep alive the spirit we all felt during the visit of our King and Queen. “WE THEREFORE DETERMINE: 1. "To use every opportunity to create the right spirit throughout the campaign, without destructive and irresponsible criticism. 2. “To help our candidates to put national in terest ahead of political expediency afid per sonal advantage, without resort to patronage or other abuses. 3. “To practise ourselves, in our homes and at our work, those same principles which we expect our candidates to practise. 4. “To work for a leadership of men who base their public policies and personal lives on honesty and faith in God. “We believe that we are among'thousands ready to support the men who put into action those moral and spiritual convictions 4vhich are essential for Canada’s strength.” Eric Bentley, at M.R.A. headquarters in Toronto, said in an interview, “Public reaction has been eager, and there has been a marked desire on the part of in dividuals to carry into their offices, factories, clubs, churches, and other organization* It is becoming apparent that the basis of distribution of the Message must be broadened if accurate expression is to be given to the underlying spirit in Canada which it obviously has tapped. Not the least of its objectives is that of getting the electorate to take responsibility after the election. A new parliament will require more than simply the support of the electors who put it into power, if we are to face unitedly the war and what follows.” ■■ o- The man in the dock was looking particularly doleful. “Please be len ient with me, “Your Worship,” he said, addressing the magistrate. “I have a good many dependent on me for support. It would be only fair to consider them.” A soft light came into the magis trate’s eyes as he listened to this plea. “Children?” he inquired, a touch of kindness in his voice. The prisoner shook his head. “No, Your Worship, detectives.” LOOKING BACK 23 YEARS From the Files of The Oxford Tribune, Ingersoll, Canada, Thursday, March 15, 1917 ‘The Neutrality of Belgium,” was the subject of a very fine address given by W.

Consumption of Wheat Although Canada.is one of the great wheat produ cing countries, and wheat occupies a large place in our economic structure, it is not one of the greatest ■wheat con:.uminrr countries, that is, pro rata to popu lation. There are several countries whose inhabtiants use won wheat per capita than we do. Apart from seed requirements, but including fopd for poultry, etc., the Canadian consumption of wheat is about 270. pounds per head per annum. Our consumption for human food is a little leas than 250 pound-. The greatest consumer of wheat is the Frenchman. His consumption is estimated at about 432 pounds and he adds 46 pounds of rye to his menu. People in the United States eat more wheat than Canadians, their per capita consumption being about 282 pounds. Even tbit, however, is considerably below the con sumption of 342 pounds in the United Kingdom, des- pite the heavy use of oats in certain parts of these islands. Thu Gtnnnni nre not so strong on wheat as many other nationalities. Wheat consumption runs about IM pounds per capita, but the Germans use more rye Ginn wheat. Their use of that cereal is about 200 pounds, so that, adding wheat and rye together, the total is only 350 pound* The Spaniard consumes 380 pounds of wheat and he adds 58 pounds of rye to it. The Italian consumes comparatively little rye but the Pole a great deal. Indeed, the Pole is regarded as the heaviest consumer of rye in the world with 875 pounds; his wheat consumption is 78 pounds. There is only one reserve to that statement—we have no statistics from Russia. The Australians, by the way, with 800 pounds, feat considerably more wheat than the Canadinas. All the figures given are approximate. Following are the new officers of the Four Square Class of the Baptist Church: -Hon. President, Col. T. R. Mayberry and H. E.

Everyone has probably had the ex perience of soreness and aching of the muscles after the first day’s horseback riding, the early game of golf or of felling trees in the forest. This soreness is due to the loss of pot assium sustained by the soft muscles. The only effective remedy is a sup ply of ixitassium to fill the gap. Each pint of apple juice contains nine grains of potassium, an amount greater than that lost in the unusual exercise. The dealers in apple juice should print this information on the containers of this tasty and most val uable beverage and thus increase the market for a valuable home product. BUY BRITISH and CANADIAN! VIRUSES What are viruses? They are min ute living agents, which cause dis ease. The very first disease that man learned to cotnrol was a virus disease. This was smallpox which took an enormous toll of life and beauty until at the beginning of the 19th century, Dr. Edward Jenner learned from the chance remark of a dairy maid that a dose of the mild cowpox would provide the patient with a last ing or at least a prolonged immunity from variola. Among the virus diseases, as dis tinguished from diseases caused by bacteria, are yellow fever, infantile paralysis, parrot fever, chicken pox, sleeping sickness, rabies, hog cholera, the foot and mouth disease and cer tain types of tumor growths in fowl and other animals resembling cancer. If one were to investigate the social expense of diseases according to the money spent and time lost, the virus- caused common cold would probably top the list A “Filtrable virus” is a virus so small that it will pass through a Berkofield or Chamberland filterf it cannot be seen by the most powerful microscope and the only place where it will grow is in the presence of liv ing cells. It causes diseases not onlj in man butialso in plants. For example, there'are 46 different viruses affecting tobacco. It also causes dis eases in tomatoes, tulips, spinach, phlox and petunias. A cheering cir cumstance is that a virus disease of tulips, known as a “break” actually improves the value of a crop. It is stated that “the colour-adding virus is so powerful that it can turn a white tulip red or a pink tulip vermil lion.” There is a group of virus-like diseases known as bacteriophages (literally “bacteria-eaters”), which affect bateria causing them to break up and dissolve. Given the proper environment, the virus, even a very small part of one, is able to reproduce its kind. It is suggested that a virus reproduces not as bacteria do, by cell division but that its molecule acts something like a crystal in a saturated solution at tracting to itself the proper constit uents from the cell protoplasm. Some scientists believe that viruses are the very essence of life. At any date the very eesence of life.. At any rate they are of high importance in life. 13 Table* In Play ' At Big Eight Euchre A most successful euchre was held in the I. 0. 0. F.

On behalf of the guests, Charles Downing, of the Innerkip. Lime and Stone Com pany, moved a vote of thanks to the hosts.

The reduction au thorized for Ingersoll is 10 per cent and is effective from February 26th. The reduction will mean a consider able saving for the citizens of the town as it applies to all risks that are within the protection of the Town Fire Department, with the exception of the following: Builders’ Risks, Canneries, Electric Generating Sta tions, Substations, Transformer, Storage Battery or Switching Sta tions, Farms, Flour and Cereal Mills, Golf and Country, Fish and Game and Hunt Clubs, Grandstands, Saw Mills and Lumber Yards in conection therewith, Sprinklered Risks, Term inal Grain Elevators and Traction Properties, also Supplemental Con tract. Rates outside the town limits are also subject to a reduction of 5 per cent It is pointed out by the Canadian Underwriters that no rebates will be allowed on current policies and ihe reduction applies only to new or renewal policies issued after Febru ary 26th. Ingersoll is indeed fortunate In se curing this reduction on Fire Insur ance rates as a previous reduction wap made on Town risks only a few years ago. It is impossible to give any figure of the actual saving to the citizens but from reliable sources it has been estimated that it will amount to several thousands of dol lars annually. Last-Minute Rush Looms For Driver* March 31*t I* Set A* Deadline For 1939 Plate* and Licence*. No extension of time will be gran ted beyond March 31 for use of the 1939 plates and licenses. In making this announcement, J. P. Bickell, Registrar of Motor Ve hicles urged all motorists to secure their permits and licenses imme diately. White many car owners throughout the province have already secured their new 1940 plates, rec ords show that there are thousands who face the prospect of finding themselves in the last-minute rush unless they act without delay. Officials at the Motor Vehicles Branch declare that the motoring public could easily avert the incon venience and annoyance of waiting in a efbwd. “It’s a job that will take a few minutes now but it may take hours later on,” one official stated. “We have the plates and licenses ready; it’s now up to the motorists, but March 31 is positively the dead line.” * FOR F A R M IN “Say, John, have you got your seed and fertilizer yet?” “Sure thing—borrowed $200 from the Bank of Montreal for them... and I saved money on the deal by paying cash."

E. Elliott, Woodstock, editor of the Sentinel-Review. Mr. Elliott presented a symposium from official "blue books” and "white papers", recently made available by the British Ministry of Information. These contain a record of events dur ing the past year and inetude the re port of Sir Neville Henderson on hit mission to Berlin. From this docu ment the speaker quoted : “Hitler believed he could buy British acquiescent1 in his own far- reaching schemes by offers of alliance with and guarantees for the British Empire . . His great mistake was his complete failure to understand the inherent British sense of morality, humanity and freedom.” One quotation, not from these publications but from a speech by John Bright. 82 years ago, was said to be similarly in line with the Brit ish tradition: “I believe there is no permanent greatness to a nation ex cept it be based upon morality. I ask you to believe, as I do most de voutly believe, that the moral law was not written for men alone in their individual character, but that it was written as well for nations, and for nations as great as this of which we are citizens.” President Alex. Yule was in the chair, and attendance of 62 per cent, was announced. Preston T. Walker read the biography, that of George Sutherland. C. A. Love drew the booster prize, an elaborately packed basket of apples. R. G.

The speaker will be “Dick” Hosking” genera) secretary of the Y.M.C.A. for Canada. The speaker was introduced by Kiwanian Harold G. Hall. A. E. Izz- ard extended the thanks of the club to Mr. Elliott. Mrs. A. W. Waring, Hostess To Loyal Live Wires Mrs. A. W. Waring, Thames street south, was hostess to members of the Loyal Live Wire Class of Trinity United Churc^ on the occasion of their regular meeting. The president, Mrs. Maurice Hughes, was in charge of the meeting last week. A violin solo by.Miss Jean Robinson, accom panied at the piano by Miss Letabeth Waring and a vocal solo by Mrs. J. R. Crydcrman, accompanied by Mrs. O. B. Moffatt, were much enjoyed. Mrs. O. Haycock gave the address of the evening an instructive and educa tional paper entitled, “The Untouch ables of India.” The members voted a donation to the I.O.D.E!., for the Finnish soldier relief. The assistants during the tea hour were Mrs. Fearce, Mrs. Wilson and Mrs. Odell. "Axe any of the colors discerning to the touch?” asked the school teacher.“I have often felt blue,” replied the boy at the head of the class. Man—“You must remember, dear, you waived certain rights when we were married.” Wife—“Yesfi love, but it wasn’t a permanent wave.” IRS. L W. STAPLES MUSIC CLUB HOSTESS Fine Program Featured Inter esting Meeting. Mrs. L. W. Staples, Ann street, was hostess for the eighth meeting of the Senior Music Club, on Wed nesday, March 6th. Assisting at the tea hour were Mrs. G. Hills and Mrs. A. O. Parker. Many descriptive “Spring” numbers were rendered. A feature of the program was a fine paper read by Mrs. A. O. Parker on Jans Sibelius. This was followed by selections from his famed poem, “Finlandia," a composition so inspir ing it swept the Fnntsh forces to victory against the Bolshevists twen ty years ago. Ever since the days of Liszt and Wagner, Europe has had a crowned head in music—Jans Sibelius of Fin land now wears the crown. He is to Finland what Paderewski is to Pol and—a revered artist-patriot. Born in the year 1865, Sibelius has lived through the years of Finland’s early struggle for freedom. The illuminating study as given by Mrs. Parker on the enigmatic, mys terious, but nevertheless charming and noble character of this modern master, of his love of nature in its ruggedness, of his intense patriotism, should give the listeners a more in telligent appreciation of his music. The difficulty in execution of his num bers is not technical, but a refined, sensitive musicianship is essential in their interpretation. >His piano com positions and symphonies are not notably melodic at times, but deep tonal pictures—suggestive of Fin land's dark forests, endless lakes and sub-Arctic skies, of her long struggle and determination for independence. The music of Sibelius is essentially a product of his times—he will be glor ified and canonized but cannot be copied. Perhaps Finland was ready to pro duce a “poet” of the piano—a Chopin or a Schubert. This industrious, pro gressive little country -was just emer ging into happiness and its musk would have reflected new life in high reaches of melody. The potential poet now grimly faces the same ruth less foe. The only melody heard is the comforting lullaby the Finnish mother croons as she closely holds her child in her arms in the air-raid shelter or in the deep forest. For several years the lovers of the Sym phony have been waiting for a new symphony. Sibelus has been writing for Koussevitsky of the Boston Sym phony Orchestra. The interest now will be intense. .What will Sibelius in corporate into this new Symphony? It gives rise to much conjecture. Al ways a true interpreter of the spirit and conditions of his country, per haps it will be muted, then rising into crescendo of the air-raid sirens, the distant murmur, the closer dron ing of the bomber-through minor notes, the bombs will be heard strik ing their mark, the crashing thud of falling masonry, the splintering glass—the whine of steel fragments. After the raiders pass on, all is quiet perhaps will be heard the dismayed muttering of the pigeons of his be loved Helsinki, the whirring of their L0BLAYK5 PBICKH EFFECTIVE UNTIL MARY J IM • • NO POLITICAL PATRONAGE I CANY BELIEVE THAT THE GOVERNMENT OF CANADA WOULD LET IT^ FRIEND5 PROFIT BY WAR WHEN THOUJANDJ* OF YOUNG MEN ARE GOI114 OUT TO DIE .

Potash Supply At the outbreak of the war in Sep tember, 1939, the prospect for ade quate potash supply for fertilizer purposes was1 none too encouraging as it was thought that European supplies would be cut off, and United States production was not supplying Canada to any great extent. How ever, the situation in this respect has since changed very much, the pros pect now being good for a continued and ample supply. The production of potash in the United States has been stepped up to a point believed to be sufficient to meet the requirements of the North American continent, and, in addition to this, production interests in France have announced that an ample supply to Canada for this year is assured. As a matter-of fact, large quantities of French potash are now in Canada, so that any fear of potash shortage in the immediate future would ap pear unwarranted, and farmers may continue to buy their potash require ments for fertilizer purposes as be fore the war.

The numbers and performem were: Kerry Dance —Soloist Cecelia Stephenson; dancers, C. Stephenson, Bob. McDermott, Peggy Ring, Shirley and Corinne Vallee, Barbara Des mond.

Kirwin), was preparing for his first formal dance. The parts of Alida, Buddy's sister, and Bill, her boy friend, and Belle, the colored maid, were well interpreted by Kathleen Hill, James Warden and Mary Rob erts. The young actors showed a poise on the stage that gives fair- promise for future dramatic work. The interval of intermission was filled with music by pupils from St. Joseph’s School of Music. The out standing numbers were violin solos by Patricia Nadalin, “Frasqffila,” by Lehar; "Amaryllis,” by Ghys. Miss Kathleen Hill delivered a comic monologue, “First Call on the Butcher.” SPONGE CAKES Thia to the time of year when such delicacies as sponge cakes have a •pec to 1 appeal. They do not only appeal to the appetite in early spring but also the homemaker who watches food prices and takes pride in pre paring good foods at moderate cost. The Consumer Service Section, Marketing Service, Dominion Depart ment of Agriculture recommends the following recipes for sponge cakes and suggests that in each case theI price be calculated. It may be a sur prise to find that such big cakes can be made st small cost. The reasons are, of course, that eggs are the main ingredients and current price of eggs to moderate.

L. Young. The members of the committee are pleased to note that up to date no articles have been returned from headquarters, which indicates that the work shipped to Toronto from the Ingersoll Branch, has been satis factory. Supplies are being packed and shipped daily overseas in large quantities from Toronto, and in Eng land a committee has been set up to distribute these articles through the local branches of the Red Cross. Shipments of refugee clothing for Finland and Poland are made weekly. Quilts are much appreciated, already three have been made from cuttings and more are on the way and will be shipped as soon as completed. Last week many of the articles made up by local Red Cross workers, were placed on display in the window of the Ingersoll Public Utilities Com mission office. This exhibit of work attracted much attention and it was a surprise to many to see the number and variety of articles that are made up for the Red Cross organiz ations in Ingersoll and district. A request has just been received from the National Red Cross head quarters asking that more of the Canadian wheeling wool be used for the knitting of sox and sweaters as it wears much better than fingering wool and can be secured in larger quantities. Although the fingering yarn is much the nicer to knit and sox and sweaters art most acceptable when made up from it, the prefer ence is for articles made from the Canadian wheeling wool.

From the Mission Band of Trinity United Church, we have a lovely autograph quilt, also two crib quilts made from our cuttings by the girls of St Paul's Guild. Many pairs of socks and other knitted articles have been sent in, the wool used being bought Jiy the donors. "Supplies have been purchased amounting to 8412.21 and of this, $272.76 was for wool and $139.45 for hospital and refugee supplies. This is considerably less than the amount used last month and may be explained by the fact that one or two orders arrived just at the end of January and were paid for but not used until February. "Some idea of the amount of woik done by the ladies cutting material at the rooms, may be obtained from Mrs. Jenvey’s report which states that up to Feb. 28, 1,844 articles, in cluding hospital supplies and py jamas, have been given out to those who are sewing for the Red Cross,. also 227 children’s garments for re fugee shipments.” Carpetball League Results Four scheduled games were played in the Ingersoll Carpetball League Friday evening in the I.O.O.F. hall.

A k>u for the Inger soll team means a sudden-death play off with St. Thomas for the group title; a win will give the locals the light to play off with the Eastern section winners. Friday’s score in St. Thomas was 15-14. It was a low count, and testi fies to the close checking on both sides. The locals sunk 5 free throws for a perfect average in the first half, but couldn't get a field goal.• • • The boys' midget playoff has gone to 5 games for this group. The Y’s Men’s entry lost another single-point game to Woodstock Monday night on the opposition'e floor, the score being 21-20. The winner in the fifth and deciding game will meet the St Thomas-Chatham winner.• • • The junior **Y" badminton squad had an enjoyable inter-club match with Stratford here on Saturday afternoon, with supper games and dancing, following play. The locals won 10 matches out of 17.• • • At the R.C.A-F. Manning Pool in Toronto, the Y.M.C.A. has erected a huge bulletin board. On this are posted the details of a very wide pro gram of events, arranged for the troops throughout the week. Every airman in training at this centre, assures himself of a part in indoor baseball, bridge, checkers, hockey, tug-of-war, boxing, archery, volley ball, or physical training by merely signing his name. There could be no better illustration of “Y” policy in conducted war and other services, than this board. The organizaton plays no favorites, fosters no cliques, in reaching the masses of Canadian soldiers, the “Y” officers recognize no race distinctions, no difference in religious faith.

Although the annual per capita consumption of cheese in Canada is small (somewhere between 3 and 4 lb.), Canadians are heavy consumers of dairy products, the consumption of cheese, butter, and milk, when brought to a milk equivalent, being computed to be the highest in the world. When the Y.M.C.A. in Halifax offered the use of its swimming pool to the military authorities, it was found that two periods a week were to be set aside for the navy.

In proof of this, a copy of an advertisement published in Vancouver, B.C., papers under the sponsorship of the Vancouver Liberal Association is shown hereunder.

The release date of "panada at Wir” was said w have been advanced'three weeks apparently to permit of the display of the film during the Dominion election campaign. The action of the Board of Censors in prohibiting the exhibition in Ontario of the March of Time picture "Canada at War” follows the precedent adopted in the Ontario provincial election of 1937, during which time the Liberal Government of Ontario refused to permit the exhibition of films and pictures which gave vivid accounts and displays of C.I.O. activities and scenes of violence in American industrial centres. The showing of the pictures would have been to the undoubted advantage of the Liberal Government which was opposing GI.O. Activities in Ontario. Yfec the Ontario Liberal Government banned the exhibition of the films and pictures. The Board of Censors of the Province of Ontario would be false to its duty if it interfered in the wartime elections campaign by placing its stamp of approval on a film such as "Canada at Wir,” which in this time of grave national peril is being used and exploited for purposes of political propag;mda.

The company employed 2,654 and had 1,496 stockholders in Canada. Net income for the year ended December 31, 1939, of $7,979,837, was 3.8 per cent on sales from oper ations all over Canada, the United States and from export markets, Theodore G.

They were $1.81 a share on the 4,396,704 common shares of $15 par value against $1.51 a share on the same amount of outstanding stock in 1938. Total net sales of $208,789,250 in 1939 improved with general business in the last half year. Taxes in 1939 were almost double 1934 taxes and $143,572 over those in 1938.

Directors have appropriated $6,924,320 for capital expenditures in 1940. 1940 Product* Outlook Promising The company states that the 1940 outlook for ice cream, manufactured, prescription and special products is encouraging. Ice cream gallonage in 1939 was the highest since 1931. Casein enjoyed abnormal demand in the last half of 1939 as the paper industry operated fat’ capacity. Borden will ags(n be at the New York Fair, where ’ its 1939 exhibit drew 7,743,000 people, or about" 30 per cent of the paid attendance. Wages and. salaries paid in 1939 to an average of 28,099 employees approximated $51,380,063. After $6,155,385 dividend pay ments, same as in 1938, the company had an earned surplus balance of $17,821,336 against $20,207,822 in 1939..
