The “Y” annual report, just re­ leased, shows that during 1939, the attendance increase at all activities exceeded the previous year’s figures by 5000; 11,873 participations were recorded in activities in buildings and participation directed activities outside buildings exceeded 10,150. Annually the Ingersoll "Y” has requested public support in it* work with youth, and citizen* have given their stamps of approval by subscrib­ ing generously to maintain and in­ crease the service* rendered. Year by year, the “Y” becomes more and more a community enter­ prise. Through extension of its co­ operative program with other agen­ cies, services are now provided for one in every seven persons in Inger­ soll and a wide variety of program areas i* reached. Although January and February have been, the customary months for the local “Y’s” financial appeal, this year the period was postponed to April to prevent overlapping .with other worthy agencies requesting support in the early months of 1940. The “Y” management believes that citizens appreciate this fore­ thought in eliminating the conduct­ ing of two campaigns in any one month and are confident that public icsponse to the appeal for funds to finance "Y” work in 1940 will be ready and generous. Simultaneously, a campaign to pro­ vide funds to finance the emergency War Service work of the "Y” will be made. Citizens will be asked to “maintain the home base” and to do their share in helping maintain the morale of Canada’s fighting forces, by giving to Hie War Service fund of the Y.M.C.A., which is one of the most important auxiliary agencies serving men in unifoijn in training the ”Y’ in “Y” the "Y’ Putnam—A well arranged shower was held at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Earl Brady on Wednesday evening, in honor of the former* sister, Mabel, who was recently married to Mr. Ralph George.

NancekhrelL An interesting experiment in pub­ lic relations has bwn started by the Young Men’s Ohnatian Association in Toronto—it is what would be call­ ed a whispering campaign if the cause ware Jess worthy and is epitomized in the adjuration for you and me to “Speak a good word for the Y.” Not too many people do speak a good word for the Y. The Y merely is an institution which everyone takes for granted and few—perhaps not even many of its 100,000 members in Canada—take the trouble thor­ oughly to know and understand. An impartial survey of the Y.M.C.A. by that most impartial surveyor, The Printed Word, reveal* that the Y is an institution which is doing a pretty good job—a first-class job—among boys and young men and men not so young in the sixty-odd cities in Can­ ada where active branches are main­ tained. The Y might not need a good word spoken for it but for the fact that in these times there is a decline in the significance of symbols. Gone are the days when the symbol of an Egyptian god appeared more often than his image. A signet ring now is merely a piece of jewairy. To the great majority, the Y.M.C.A. triangle is merely a sign or a decoration. A basketball net might serve as well. Yet an older generation recalls th.it the triangle meant something, the top bar meant the spirit and others the mind and body and each is equal in importance in the work of the Young Men’s Christian Asso­ ciation. One has heard it argued that the words should be replaced in the symbol of the Y, but at least it would be worth while reminding people of casual attitude that the Y circuit is three-phase as well as high tension. One reason the Y often is sub­ jected to unfair criticism is that it is doing its job so well. Because it does not neglect the spirit, the godless are inclined to sneer. Because its large buildings, include gymnasia and swimming pools, those ,who think that to be Christianlike is to be long­ faced contend that the word “Chris­ tian” does not belong in its name. The only phase of its work about which there is no criticism is that which has .to do with mental develop­ ment It is along time in this sup­ posedly literate country since educa­ tion and training have been decried. On the whole, the Y.M.C.A. tries to do for the boy and young man what the Canadian parent—a nomin­ al if not always active Christian__ would do for the son in the home. Health is important, mental training is important and none but a rampant atheist would endeavour to (exclude religion from the lives of the young. So the Y’s balance of effort and pro­ gramme is consistent with highest aims of Canadian parenthood. And now, as in an earlier war, the Y is serving all men wearing the King’s uniform at home and overseas. The story of the Y’s work in an ear-. Her war is a great story, commend­ able in all respects, which never has been property told. Today and to­ morrow the young men who form Canada’s armed forces are being and will be served by the YJH.C.A. which, out of its 96 years of exper­ ience, has learned how to do a job providing for the spirits, minds and bodies of men in their off-duty hour* No Canadian who wishes to contri­ bute to the wellbeing of the men in uniform need hesitate to help the Y in this work. No Canadian who desires to see the boys and young men grqw into good citizens need hesitate to contribute to the normal work that the Young Men’s Christian 'Association began in Canada as long ago as 1851, a scant seven years after a young clerk named Williams established the first Y in old London. —The Printed Word.

Ona of the prettiest of local spring weddings was solemnized in the Church of the Sacred Heart, Inger­ soll, on Saturday morning, April 6th, at nine o’clock. The church was lovely with pale pink snapdragon and yel­ low daffodils for the occcasion, when Miss Camilla Theresa (Babe) Crawford, Toronto, youngest daugh­ ter of Mrs. Mary E. Crawford, 121 John street, Ingersoll, and the Jate W. Alexander Crawford, was united in marriage to Mr. George O’Brien Graham, Toronto, son of Mr. and Mrs. George J. Graham, Stratford. The nuptial mass was performed by the pastor of the church, Rev. Father A. Fuerth. Miss Helen M. Kirwin, A.T.C.M., presided at the organ for the wedding music and the soloist was Mrs. H. G. Furlong, both of Ingersoll. The ceremony was per­ formed in the presence of a number of relatives and intimate friends of the bride'and groom. The bride, given in marriage by her brother, Mr. William A. Craw­ ford of London, was lovely in a wed­ ding gown designed by herself of Schiaparelli’s "sleeping blue” silk jersey. It was softly fashioned with a draped bodice and a full gathered skirt, linked to the bodice with an unusually smart* shirred waistline; her cleverly coiled turban in the fabric of her dress was worn with a shoulder-length veil of “sleeping blue”, and her corsage was of Jo­ hanna Hill roses, violets, yellow freesia and lily-of-the-valley. Her at­ tendant, Mrs. T. Zeno O’Neill of Geraldton, her sister, was gowned in misty grey triple sheer, slimly mould­ ed with Bruyere’s fluted tucking in a yoke treatment repeated at the waistline to give a French bolero effect; her matching turban had dressmaker trimming and her cor­ sage was of soft pink roses and Eng­ lish violets. The best man and usher, .both brothers of the bridegroom, were Mr. William Graham and Mr. Harold Graham, respectively of Stratford. Following the ceremony, a wedding breakfast was served in the new St. Charles Hotel Coffee Shoppe Banquet Hall. The bride’s mother received in a navy sheer gown, with navy straw hat and corsage of Talisman roses, and the bridegroom’s mother, in Par­ ma violet sheer with matching hat, and corsage of Johanna Hill roses, assisted. Leaving on a motor trip to Florida, the bride wore a softy tailored dress in shadow grey sheer wool with fine chalk stripe, a Watteau sailor in the same wool with accents of white pique. On their return, Mr. and Mrs. George O’Brien Graham will reside at 60 Old Mill Road, Toronto, Ont The bride who is well known in Ingersoll, attended the Sacred Heart Separate School and the Ingersoll Collegiate Institute here. She is a graduate of the Toronto School of Designing. Mr. Graham is manager of the Avon House in Simpson's homefurnishings department Tor­ onto.

R, VEALE Proprietor ana Editor FBONES — Tribun* Office, 13 - Residence, 5b6 — Member of — The Canadian Weekly Ne wap* pent' Association THURSDAY, APRIL lith, 1940 Some Facta About Wheat Flour To thos-v of ua who have practically no knowledge of the making of wheat flour, that commodity which in itself makes Canada known throughout the world, it is an entrancing mystery how that flne, smooth aub- stance is made. In general we have an idea that some­ thing in the nature of roiling mills or crushers doea the trick. But there is a good deal more to good flour making than that. The wheat berry is somewhat barrel-shaped. At the top fa a tuft of hairs, -which is appropriately called the beard. At the lower end on the outer side is a small peculiarly shaped protuberance which indicates the position of the germ beneath the bran. On the opposite inner side is a deep furrow running the whole length of the grain. This is the crease which harbours dust and micro-organisms and which creates difficulties in the cleaning operation preparatory to milling. Cut a transverse section across the grain and ex­ amine with a lens the internal structure of the berry. Beginning from the outside inwards, the outer skins form the bran. There is a single layer of rectangular cells full of minute grains of nitrogenous matter. The function of these cells is to supply the young Rowing embryo with its proper nitrogenous food. The starch-con- taining cells are packed full of starch granules of varying size, and the spaces between the cell walls are probably filled with the substances known as glutine. The germ, or embryo of the wheat berry is a somewhat triangular looking body, of a yedlojwish, buttery appearance when the grain is new. H the grain is old, however, the germ will be dark almost to a deep brown in colour and the taste much less pleasant- Wheat germs which come from the mill are pale yellowish disks varying from 3-16 to 1-4 of an inch in diameter. When in suitable condition for food, the germ must possess a pleasant, oily smell and an agreeable, greasy flavour. In a decomposed state the germ is dangerous to health. The object of the miller is to separate the endo­ sperm or floury portion from the bran coat and the germ, and to reduce the floury portion to fine flour. This is only possible because the bran and germ are far tougher than the endosperm. The successful miller is able to effect a thorough separation of the endosperm from the germ and bran to produce a type of flour that will be clean and white and with good keeping qualities. The constituents of the wheat kernel are over 83 per cent endosperm, which is largely of starch con­ tent, 15 per cent bran and 1 % per cent germ. The germ is rich in fat and when loosened in the break­ ing process it may be graded with the coarser mid­ dlings which are generally known as germ middlings. The wheat germ is good material in preparing human food such as in fortifying cereal products, but at the present time it is difficult to keep the wheat germ oil from becoming rancid; therefore the germ has to be separated completely from the finished flour. Canada exports annually four or five million bar­ rels of wheat flour, of which considerably more than half go to the United Kingdom alone. The value of the export is about 16 or 17 millions dollars. War and Retail Problems The complex problems faced by retailers through­ out Canada have been rendered increasingly difficult since September, 1939. An article in the spring issue of The Commerce Quarterly, University of Western Ontario’s business publication outlines the present conditions affecting price-setting in Canadian stores, and explains how retailers can relieve the situation. Written by Professor Walter A. Thompson, Head of the Department of Business Administration, and Gor­ don H. Ingram, well known retailer, the article shows importance of style, local demand, competition, and advertising in the price-setting division of retail business. The already complex pricing function has been rendered increasingly difficult since September, 1939, the article continues. War usually brings a buyers* market. One of the wisest measures taken by the Canadian Government was the setting up of Canada’s 'Wartime Price and Industry Board. The setting up of this competently manned Board was as popular a move as could have been made.by the government.It is generally recognizet/by the public and the busi­ ness community that no (one should take money from this war. A variety of additional forces which will tend to keep price rises in hand are described by the writers. Considerable capacity in machine and man power to manufacture goods, control of credit infla­ tion, and mechanical means of keeping down the price level are in turn opposed by rising ocean transporta­ tion costa, exchange disadvantage on purchases from , the United States, and the switching of machinery and men from consumers* goods to war productions in -the battle to keep prices at normal levels. The price situation of September, 1939, certainly did not suggest a downward price revision, and some speculating in merchandise resulted. A rise in. employ­ ment resulted from the accelerated general economic structure, and the heavier purchases to “beat the price rise." Sound arguments tended to keep these impulses and ^peculations at a minimum. The pofwera of the wartime Price and Trade Board and the potent force of the style cycle prevented speculative risks. The demand' of the consumer public simply cannot De forecast, the writers state; women want high heels one season and no heels the next. Even men may sud­ denly refuse to wear hats. Sound merchants simply can’t afford to have on hand anything but the mini­ mum quantities of merchandise. Retail prices did not rise as fast us wholesale prices; the average department ntorc had enough stock on hand in Scptcmbtr to carry through four months' businem. Consumer resistance to immediate price rises, strong -competition, derire to avoid thr label "profiteer”, wen? ■ among the factors which caused the retailer to avoid immediate price increases.

Gone With The Wind’* Cow Dairymen and farmers in general arc interested to note that th* cow which appears prominently in ths axc-e'm ovie, G<»ne with (lie Wind, is of too mod­ ern a tyr>e hove been in existence at the time of Sherman's asptnre of Atlanta. Horses have not changed greatly, so that the homes shown in the rr-'v\» are largely true to the period represented. But it is indicative of the tremendous stride i in cattle breeding on this continent during the p.-.st seventy-five years that the sleek bossy is almost as out of place in the Civil War scenes as telephone wires would be in a picture of ancient Rome. With the many calls that will be made on municipal taxpayers as the war goes on, Hon. Eric Cros, mini­ ster of welfare and municipal affairs, performed a pouplar job when he conferred with the federal min­ ister of labor at Ottawa and asked for a renewal of the relief plan which expired on March 31. Last year the agreement provided for the Sharing of relief costs, 40 per cent by the Dominion, 40 per cent by the province, and 20 per cent by the munici­ palities. Ontario municipalities saved >1,700,000 last year by this plan. During the court proceedings which ended in peni­ tentiary terms for tnvo Toronto men who stole live stock from farms in Peel, Halton, Simcoe, Ontario and York, it was revealed that many Ontario farmers are too trustful. Many of them have little or no protection for their property. These two men alone admitted the theft of 20 pigs, two cows, two calves, two steers, seventeen aheep, 96 bushels of wheat and eight bags of coal How much more they made off with, is not recorded. Friends of Miss Agnes MacPhail have started a campaign to have her appointed to the Senate. The Ontario Chamber of Agriculture has expressed an opinion that the farmers have suffered 3 serious loss in her defeat at the recent election and is urging that she be appointed to the Upper House.

I L NEPHEW ELECTED OXFORD CHAMBER OF AGRICULTURE PRESIDENT Annual Meeting Voted To Consider the Sponsorship of Sending Mammoth Cheese To Canadian Ac* tive Service Force In Eng* land. At its annual meeting last Thurs­ day in Woodstock, the Oxford County Chamber of Agriculture voted in favor of having the execu­ tive consider the sponsorship of the manufacture of a mammoth cheese in the county to be sent to the Can­ adian Active Service Force in Eng­ land as a gift from Oxford County. The proposal was submitted by G. H. Laird, the retiring president. J. Frank Way, Ingersoll, said hte believed the plan to be a good one and one which .would create a great deal of interest in Oxford county and Oxford county cheese. He believed the support of organizations not strictly rural! could be gained in the venture. G. R. Green, Oxford County Agri­ culture representative, recalled “The idea worked well before.” The proposal was submitted to the executive for consideration on a mo­ tion by Dan. Stauffer anu B. G. Palmer. J. E. Nephew, Woodstock, manages of the Oxford Co-Operative, was elected president of the Chamber of Agriculture by acclamation. Mrs. J. S. Amos was elected first vice-presi­ dent and Harley Mayberry, Ingersoll, second vice-president Mr. Mayberry was appointed as the county’s direc­ tor on the Ontario Chamber of Agri­ culture. R. W. Burton was. re-elected secretary-treasurer. H. H. Hannam, president of the Canadian -Chamber of Agriculture, was the guest speaker. Mr. Hannam outlined the principles behind the formation of the Canadian Chamber of Agriculture, the provincial organ­ izations and the county chambers of agriculture. "You must go into this organiza­ tion,” the speaker impressed upon the audience, "figuring that you are going into it for a lifetime—it must be permanent—it is just as important to you as your barn.” By resolution the Oxford County Chamber of Agriculture lined itself up with the provincial organization in deciding to accept the change of name from chamber of agriculture to federation of agriculture.’ This move has been considered and steps taken by the Canadian Chamber of Agriculture to alter its name to the Canadian Fedration of Agriculture to avoid misunderstand­ ing and confusion with the name of the Canadian Chamber of Commerce. The Ontario organization followed suit as did the county organization. The proposal will reach a deciding point at the next annual meeting of the Dominion-wide organization. , The Oxford County Chamber of Agriculture, organized for only a year has made progress during that time. G. H. Laird said in his presi­ dential address. Farmers, he declared, were realizing the need of getting together and discussing problems and so agricultural organizations got to­ gether as the Oxford County Cham­ ber of Agriculture for the purpose of solving common problems. The following committees were named for the year. Education, R. W. Burton, Mrs. J. S. Amos, Dan. Stauffer; home beautification, Fred Fairs, Mrs. Ed. Hansul, Miss Margar­ et Thompson, Mrs. R. W. Burton, G. R. Green, Mrs. F. Thornton, H. E. Longworth; co-operatives, B. G. Palmer, II. E. Longworth, S. T. Jackson; marketing, J. E. Neptfew, J. Frank Way, N. M. Marshall; finan­ cing, G. H. Laird, Richard Wilson, W. Alex. Muir. The executive members from the organizations affiliated with the Ox­ ford County Chamber of Agriculture were re-elected subject to ratification or change by their own organization. Following is a list of the executive by group representation: Whole milk—€. Peers, R. R. 4, Woodstock; manufactured milk, J. Frank Way, Ingersoll; cheese, Thos. B.

This ia a rare and unusual hon-'.ir for it is given only after careful *»nsideratioh of many fac- rora aside from the artist’s technical skill. There is no doubt that one of the factors considered by the council of the society in selecting Mr. Payne, was his untiring and unselfish effort in the promotion of an appreciation of art in Ingersoll and throughout Western Ontario. It was in Ingersoll particularly that this generous qual­ ity was most evident. He was partic­ ularly anxious that the people of his own town should see some of the best of modern Canadian art and it was for this reason that he promoted the Ingersoll Art Gallery Association. The original purpose of the asso­ ciation was the presentation of exhi­ bits of the various types of art. It is interesting to note that, although many of Mr. Payne’s friends in Tor­ onto were skeptical of such a project being carried out in a town the size of Ingersoll, that the Association functioned successfully for well over two years. Almost every month it presented a new exhibit which was always open to the public. The highlight of each year’s exhibits was, of course, the travelling show of the Ontario Society of Artists. It was a distinct pleasure to see one of Mr. Payne's lovely floral pieces or one of his marine scenes included in this exhibit each year. Exhibits of etch­ ings, wood-blocks and water colors were also shown. Exhibits were al­ ways explained and work interpreted most sympathetically by Mr. Payne. Through his efforts many fine speak­ ers were brought before rhe Associa­ tion to discuss various phases of art As the Art Gallery Association be­ came better established it assumed under Mr. Payne’s guidance the prob­ lem of providing art instruction for , all children who were interested^M’n Payne personally undertook—the in-, st ruction of a Saturday morning I class where he opened jup wonderful | new realms of experience for chil­ dren who came under his guidance. Five year before the idea of the “imaginative" art and the emphasis on the crafts were introduced into the schools, Mr. Payne Was present­ ing them to the children of Ingersoll. Finger-painting, lino-printing, batik work and modelling, were all taught and it is a fine tribute to Gordon Payne’s enthusiasm that some fine CHICKEN HADDYES 2f»t25e SYRUP IJe CA “ 2««FLOUR 1 5C H.P.

Many who visited similar classes provided <by the Art Gallery of the city of Toronto were of the opinion that the work being done in Ingersoll compared favorably with that done in Toronto. As a painter in his own right, Gor­ don Payne is a master. He attended the Ontario College of Art in Tor­ onto and his career there was largely a self-prompted one, and, incident­ ally, one interrupted by war sevices. He has had a wide experience in painting and has executed commis­ sions of no mean size in both Toronto and Ottawa. At one time he paint­ ed some Northern Ontario murals for Sir Frederick Banting. IngersoH scenes were particularly dear to him: he has executed many studies of the ponds and mills, of the river and swamp. He was very fond of the lat­ ter in winter. Of later yean he and Mrs. Payne have been spending a part <rf their summer at Port Buryvell where he produced work that might be termed ‘’different” Camping life appealed to him rind he ha-, made many studies of life on the beach which he often termed his “Bohe­ mian series”. His flower studiep and fine water colors have always been particularly popular. Since leaving Ingersoll two year ago, however, Mr. Payne’s chief In­ terest has been in his marine studies. He 'has always enjoyed going to Gloucester, Mass., (a veritable artist colony) in the early summer to paint the Ashing boats and the sea in its many moods. Just this post summer Mr. Payne brought, back many fine sketches of the life there which he is now doubtlessly engaged in convert­ ing into finished canvases. To hear him speak of the great American artists whom he met at Gloucester, one might conclude that Mr. Payne himself, was comparatively minor. An interesting sidelight on this point, however, is revealed when, some four or five years ago, Mr. Payne, of all .the artiste in Gloucester, was. the only one successful in getting a sketch of the fog in the harbour. This resulted in a lovely painting— one admired by everyone who saw it Mr. Payne lived in Ingersoll about eighteen years before moving to London some two years ago. The honor that has been given him,will, i jw^ioubt, be appreciated as much by Mii. Payne as by her husband. Mn. Payne, with her fine sense of justice and intimate knowledge of art, has always been a source of inspiration and encouragement to her*, husband. She has many friends in Ingersoll, having spent the greater part of her life here. Mrs. Payne is rhe sister of Postmaster S. A. Gibson. The fact that Mr. Payne had no hint of his election to the Royal Society of Arts is just another trib­ ute to. his guiding principle of self­ lessness. It is a great thrill to the many friends of both Mr. and.Mrs. Payne that he has been honoured by a society of such significance. The Royal Society of Arts was founded in 1754 at Rowthmell's Coffee House in Covent Garden, London, England, at a meeting of noblemen, clergy, gentlemen and merchants to form such a society for the encour­ agement of arts, manufactures, com­ merce and industry in Great Britain. One of the patrons was His Majesty, the King. The society has continued since 1754 to exert a strong influence in the advancement of all branches of art, and to attach due credit to such labors as Mr. Payne exerted here. Regret has been frequently ex­ pressed among many of Mr. and Mra.

It is, however, a great source of pride to their friends that an artist who lived so long in Ingersoll and to whom Ingersoll ssenes were so intim­ ate has been so distinctly honored. The influence of Gordon Payne through his many works in1 Ingersoll and through his pupils has continued locally. It is hope that these influ­ ences may realize some of the fine ideals of art which he is so earnestly attempting to establish. Mrs. James Miller Live Wire Hostess COKM TOMATOES2>«21 DURHAM Bra-4 Mb.

Ttey will bo interested tn Canada At War a* much a* they will be in riaiting and revisiting our lake*, mountain* and playground*. For two reason* this unique phe­ nomenon of tourism is of greater im­ portance to Canada th» year than ever before. 1. Canada needs American tour­ ist dollar* to help win this war. 2, Canada must this year be in­ terpreter as well a* host to those visitors from a friendy but neutral democracy.• • • First we must make sure that this hoped-for flood of tourist visitors really gets here. Just recently the Winnipeg Tri­ bune drew attention to the fact that we spend 2 millions a year in our fisheries department in order to mar­ ket about $40 million* of fish. In the business of tourism we spend $300,000 and hope to get $300,000,000 of trade. While we think it good business to spend $5 of federal funds for $100 worth of fish we spend only 10 cents to get $100 of tourist business. So long as we are at war, the Am­ erican dollars these visitors will bring are an essential war sinew. We should not hesitate to spend at least a million dollars to merchandise Canada’s tourist attractions in the U.S. A. Even a little state like Illinois with not a fraction of the tourist oppor­ tunities that Canada possesses is spending a quarter of a million this year. Equal or larger expenditures are being made by state and tourist authorities all over the U.S.A. They . know the value of merchandising their assets so as to gain a share of the record expenditure that is ex­ pected to be made by tourists on this continent in 1940. Canada has an excellent Travel Bureau which has been doing splen­ did work within its limited resources. It is greatly handicapped because it lacks the money to "follow through." The first essential of our tourist effort is to make sure we are doing a good enough sales job. Right now our national effort looks puny in re­ lation to the opportunity that exists. • • • If, as and when these tourists come to Canada, what are we going to tell them! It is a certainty that most of them | will want to talk about »the war. They will want to tell us, perhaps, why they are isolationist They will want to know what we are thinking and doing. How well are we prepared to talk about “the issues at stake!" Is there a danger that we will sit back on our fence rails or club chairs and sneer at our visitors for not being in the war! I Are we ready to speak with clar- | ity and conviction about fighting for the right to live our own life—an | deal which must surely be common to ■, i, < » Crop Frotoeti** No. 24, Dievas* of Swede Turnip*; N*.
