THE INGERSOLL TRIBUNE, THURSDAY, MAY 16, 1940
THURSDAY, MAY Ifitfi, 1940
Germany—From The German Press
Slowly, but steadily, the economic squeeze on Ger
many tightens as the native pres® sometimes uncon
sciously shows. In namberleso unintended ways—
in evergrowing regulations to ration food, in higher
fixed maximum prices, in strenuous propaganda
efforts to prove that the German housewife hits only
to economize a little longer, and all will be well with
the Nazi world. The effect of the blockade is to be
seen.
The “Ortdeutscher Beobachter”, a Nazi organ pub
lished in Posen, tells exultantly how metal scrap col
lected in German-occupied Poland has yielded 56,640
kilograms of cast-iron, 7500 of iron wire, 1000 of
lead, 340 of antimony, 630 of brass and all the way
down the metallic list to 4070 kilos of brass cart
ridge cases.
The same paper incidentally carries the advertise
ment of a popular cafe in Posen, “Only Germans are
admitted."
In the days of the armament race, the Nazis heavily
imported nickel. Much of the nickel was issued in
Germany in nickel coins. As the nickel coinage had
no value outside Germany, it formed a sort of nickel
reserve for war. Hitler is now withdrawing hi?
nickel coins from circulation, and using the nickel
for armaments. A new decree calls in more nickel
coins.
And as metals and foodstuffs become scarcer, pro
paganda fills up the serried columns of the Daily
Press. Dr. Goebbels solves the mystery of the Queen
Elizabeth by telling how she was destroyed in flames.
An alleged item from Buenos Aires relates with
joyous gusto, how a British freighter met a French
freighter off the Argentine coast. They mistook
each other for Germans, had a merry old battle and
fourteen sailors were killed. “Every effort is being
made in London and Paris to keep the incident quiet,”
the German reader is told. “But it shows how the
French are adopting the piratical methods of the
British by arming their merchant ships.”
“The Leipsig Fair tried <o comfort car-owners who
can’t get gas by producing the family-bicycle. It’s a
bicycle made for four. A caption to the illustrating
photograph explains how the strange device really will
replace the automobile for family excursions into the
country. A number of papers carry advertisements of
a preparation to make even substitute coffee endur
able. Evidently worried over the future, special
Nazi instructors are making the rounds of the schools
to check up on any school-boy tendency to break away
from the Nazi fold.
But the most touching propaganda effort comes
from among the Sudenten Germans. Before Munich,
the Su de tens were the German minority in Czecho
slovakia. Almost with a sob, the story relates how
hubby and wife were talking over all the good things
they were to eat One has a vision of limitless deli
cacies. Then the wife goes out to buy. A little
later, hubby meets her on the market square. She
is loaded down frith parcels but she is worried and
sad. and her coat is stained with a queer mixture
dripping from the parcels. She explains with a
sigh, that the shopkeeper did not wrap the things up
properly. The sauarkraut had run into the marmalade
the marmalade had run into the margarine, and alto
gether it was not a plearing prospect for Sunday.
"But,” says hubby reproachfully, ‘haven’t you a basket
at home, and couldn't you have taken jars? Then
the shop-keeper would not have had to use wrapping
paper. Germany needs paper.”
And that was the aim and purpose of the story:
Germany is running short of paper.

Getting Acquainted in School
Probably the surest way to avoid misunderstandings
and get along better with people is to know them bet
ter. And the easiest time to get acquainted is
while we are young. ' f
There never was a time when mutual .understand
ing among people living at a distance l^frojy one an
other was as sorely needed as in our xjay and age.
So it is of interest to notice something of the way in
which our schools help young Canadians to become
acquainted in other provinces and other countries.
Each year brings over 2,000 fullrthne students from
the United States to our colleges and private schools,
in addition to those who come for summer courses.
A third or more of these come to our French-langusge
institution?, and probably most of them are from
families who were at one time Canadian.
Several hundred come each year from Newfound
land, especially to our Atlantic' provinces, and nearly
a hundred from the British West Indies who also
study mainly in the Maritifnee. There is a consid
erable contingent, too, from the United Kingdom—
larger than usual this year because of the boys and
girls who were touring Canada when the war broke
out, and whose parents decided they should remain
at Canadian schools rather than go back home. Other
countries contribute at least 300 students per year;
some are from South and Central America, the Orient
and Europe, as wall us more distant parts of the
British Commonwealth.
There is a very considerable movement of students
between provinces. Nearly 6,000 attend colleges or
private schook outr ide of their province of ordinary
residence. The National Federation of Canadian
University Students, with the co-operation of the
universities, in recent years has facilitated this ex
change by developing an arrangement whereby stu
dents in different universities may e xchange places
for a year.
A wfell attended meeting was held in the town

in town that will be ploughed and given the people
to seed and look after.
The death of Louisiana Markham, wife of Robert
Mitchell, Jr„ occurred on Saturday, May 12th. The
funeral was held on Wednesday afternoon, the servi

Etchings By NotedArtist Displayed HereLocal art lovers were afforded aa
opportunity over the week-end to
view some of the outstanding woric
of N. Hornyanaky, noted Hungar
ian artist and specialist in etchings
and water colors. In the neighbor
hood of 40 of his etchings and water
colors were on exhibit at the com
munity “Y” Saturday afternoon and
evening, and again Sunday after
noon.
Containing many old-world build
ings and scenes of note, as well as
many fine Canadian scenes from the
Laurentiarrs, Ottawa, the St. Law
rence, Toronto and elsewhere, the
exhibit was one of wide appeal and
definite charm. In each picture
hair-line detail, combined with su
perb composition and tone gradations
brought into being a lace-likc beauty
and finish of detail that was notareg
short of being decidedly exceptional.
Color treatment was particuiaiJy
beautiful in many of the snow sceucc.
Of Hungarian birth, the ar'lit
brought to the new world in his arc,
much of the beauty of the old land,
and with him his own fine capabili
ties which should do a great deal to
enrich Canadian art. It was learn
ed that he had held one-man exhibi
tions in Budapest. Antwerp, Ghent,
Brussels and many other points. He
had also exhibited in a similar way
in Winnipeg and Toronto to date in
Canada. The pictures seen hnze
showed a strong inclination to snow

How Britain Dealth WithThe Magnetic Mine
By a Naval Corresponded
Magnetic mines are laid on tne
sea bottom, and are only effective it
ships passing over them are iruide
the danger area of the explosion
They are useless in depths of 300
feet or more, and are thus complem
entary to the ordinary moored mines
floating beneath the surface and de
signed to fire on a ship striking
them. The development and laying
of magnetic mines forced Britain to
provide special methods of clear
ance over and above the ordinary
sweeping of moored mines.
As regards the antidote, much has
recently been heard of “de-gaussing”
belts fitted to ships of all types from
trawlers to battleships, for the pur
pose of neutralizing their magnetism
and so rendering them immune from
magnetic mines. Dr. Gaus?, one
believes, was a Scandinavian pro
fessor who died in the middle of th •
19th century; .but gave his name to
the unit of magnetic flux, just as the
names of Ohm and Ampere are now
used in the technical language of
electricity.
The “de-gaussing” belt "or gii die,
or “iD. G.” equipment, as it is now
called, consists of a " number of
strands of ordinary insulated cable
pausing round the ship about the lev
el of the upper deck, and energkej
in a special way by an electrical
current. It neutralises the perman
ent magnetism of the vessel, so that
she is able to pass over a magnetic
mine without deflecting the needle
and firing the charge.
Total immunity against mines,
magnetic or otherwise, can never be
guaranteed. However, no ship fitted
with the netw gear has yet been dam
aged, while an officer responsible
for Rs development expressed him
self as being prepared to take a “de •
gauased” ship oyer any number of
magnetic minefi/ld%
It should be added that the appara
tus which was Suggested by the of
ficers of one of His Majesty's Naval
Esetabliahments, with the able advice
and assistance of civilian scientist],
was developed in less than three
months from the time the need for
it became apparent.

Control Of The- SnowballAphid In Early Springr Esch year snowfall bushes are attacked by the rnuhall aphid. Tinsinsect pa<yM>s the winter in the eggi*a*e, the eggs being laid at the ban-,of the terminal buds. Hatcnmgtakes place very early in ths seasonand as noon as the lips of the buds
show green, clusters of the insects
may be seen congregated on the now
leaf tissue. This is the time whez
spraying is most effective. Nicotine
snip bate is probably the moat suit
able insecticide. It should be use!
ait the rate of three teaspoons to each
gallon of soapy water. The firrt
application is made as soon as the
tips of the buds show green and re
peated sprayings «hoald be casricd
out at intervals of three days until
all the aphids are killed. Probably
three applications will be enough.
For best results, spray on a waim,
calm day when tb-\ sun is shining.
The key to success lies in getting ti»e
first sprays op early. Don’t wait
until the leaves begin to unfold, for
curling quickly takes place affording
the aphids adequate protection fromany sprays and dusts that may be
applied at that time.

K1WANIS CLUB
LADIES NIGHT
John J. Robinette, Toronto,
Was Guest Speaker. SpecialFeatures Were ArrangedFor the Occasion.
Members of the Ingersoll Kiwan*
is Club played hosts to their ladies
at a special Ladies Night Meeting,
held on Thursday evening last, at the
Ingereoll Inn. The affair was well
attended. Kiwanian Alex Yule, presi
dent of the Club, acted as chairman
of the evening. A draw was made
for the booster prise and Mrs. Char
les W. Riley was the winner.
A sextette composed of Kiwanians,
F. Heath Stone, Royden G. Start, K.
C., Rev. Charles D. Daniel, W. Cur
rie Wilson, F. Earl Johnston and
Laurie M. Sommer, with Miss Muriel
Parker as accompanist, entertained
with a number of vocal selections,
mostly of a humorous nature.
The speaker of the evening was
John J. Robinette, Toronto barrister,
who was introduced by Kiwanian
Warwick R. Marshall. Mr. Robinette’s
subject was “Humor and the Law.”
In opening he told of a case in Tor
onto that had to do with a man
charged with stealing a pair of panU.
The speaker said he first heard it told
of his father, the late T. C. Robin
ette, who was defending the alleged
thief.
“The charge was finf ^dismissed,
and my father motion/ , the man to
step down from the <box. He hesitat
ed. Finally my father was said to
have urged him to come down.” said
the speaker.
“I can’t come just now,” said ac
cused. “I've got the pants on.”
Another care was that wherein a
man was charged with murder. A
Chinese had been killed in a res
taurant. The case was being heard
by Mr. Justice McKay.
“The policeman who had found
the Chinaman was about to teli what
he had heard from the dying man.
Defence counsel objected strenuously
on the well-known legal ground that
anything said by another person
could not be admitted as evidence.
It was a nice point in law, and meant
much. After much argument,
Justice McKay ruled that the police
man might repeat what the dying
man said. The policeman re-entered
the witness box.
"Well,” said the policeman, ’he
just turned over and said ’Ugh.’ ”
Mr. Robinette said that many gems
fell from the learned lips of judges
in the court rooms of the country,
but somehow, when these utterances
were taken out of the cold, stern at
mosphere of the court room, they lost
their significance and effect to a
considerable degree.
One or two other anecdotes were
•outlined, both with regard to the
criminal court and the division court.
The speaker recalled one case in the
eastern part of the providence where
he learned three definite lessons.
“That was a case involving alien
ation of affections. In that, case 1
learned never to under-rate a woman,
never to let your client run the case,
and to always be sure you have tne
full story froni your client before
the case goes to court Because I
did not do all these things my client
was assessed $5,000- He wanted to
ad lib., being a former actor. I
permitted him to do so, only to find
out that I had not known what I
should, that the woman in the case
had jaeen under-rated by myself, and
that the client should have been kept
in his place.
"That man ad libbed so much that
he lost the case hopelessly,” said the
speaker.
Mr. Robinette said that the law,
since 1884, had changed a great deal
for the benefit of the ladle*. Prior to
that time, a woman could enter into
no contract At marriage, all her
possessions automatically became
those of her husband. It was shown
that three types of people were pre
vented from entering into contracts,
these being infanta, lunatics and
married women." ' It was'explained
that a woman could now enter into a
contract as well as her husband.
“The doctors have a great way of
Belling their profession to the pub
lic. I do not mean to insinuate that
they advertise or take any other un
ethical means, but somehow they
seem to get the full benefit of all the
good they do. It is not so with
men of the legal profession. If a
lawyer makes a mistake, he gets all
kinds of publicity. If he does a good
turn, nothing is ever heard of it.
Many lawyers plead and handle cases
for clients whom they never charge
a cent and from whom they know
they would not get a cent. Some
times it’s just because they happen
to like the party. Sometimes it’s J use
out of pure humanitarian reasons.
The’ very ethics of the profession
make it so that such laywers cannot
disclose that fact. But to many of
you, it may come a» new information
that the members of the legal pro
fession have a patron saint—Saint
Ives. He was a lawyer who did
much of his work-just for the good
of humanity, and without charge. It
was some time after his death that
he became listed among the saints.
He had toiled for <the poor and down
trodden.
Drawing attention to two state
ments in the press within recent
days, setting forth a contrasting
viewpoint of the British ‘law system
which holds a man innocent until he

that the accused should be considered
guilty until proven innocent,” said
Mr. Robinette.
"I suggest,” said the speaker,
"that it is the duty of the members
of the legal profession in Canada to
see that the present British system is
not changed for something else, and
that a man may ~ still bo regarded
as innocent until he Is proven guilty,
unless, as I have already said, there
is something really definite known
which would justify the suggested
change. It is our duty as mejnbers of
the legal profession to maintain the
highest British principles and to en
deavor to see to it that the liberty
And civil rights of the people shall
remain as they are insofar as is pos
sible, that any charge made may be
only because of extreme necessity. I
say also that after the war we
should do all in our power to see th it
there is a complete return to those
civil rights and liberties in full. We
of the legal profession are not train
ed in the arts of war. In fact, we'
are trained for a lifetime of just the
opposite to war—that of bringing
people together. Our training does
not fit us for a place in war as does
tiie training- of the doctor who has a
definite place there. But, we hav*
other training, and we should at all
time be courageous that there should
be no undue interference with our
civil rights.”
The speaker said the lawyers
seemed to have a bad publicity de
partment in some respects.
Mr. Robinette said that many ex
pressed wonder from time to time
how a lawyer could plead for a per
son whom he knew to be guilty.
"They wish to know how we can
act for a man we know to be guilty
in the criminal court w a man we
know to be a crook in the civil waits.
Well, we are not employed to judge
cases. But, on the other hand, we are

EXPANSION OF TURKEY’SCOAL INDUSTRYGive* £1.500,000 Contract ToBritainA contract of the approximate
value of £1,500,000 ha* been placed
by the Turkish Government institu
tion. the Eti Bank, with the Metro-
politan-Vicker* Electrical Export
Co., Ltd., London, for the construct
ion of an electrical power station at
Catal AgxL
One of the main objects of the
station is to furnish electric power
for the modernisation and expansion
of the Turkish coal industry. Catal
Agzi, on the Anatolian coast of the
Black Sea, has been chosen as the
site because it is near the Zonguldak
coal basin from which the station
will get its fuel.
The contract was obtained in face
of international competition and the
first instalment of plant totals
60.009 kw. and comprises three
20.000 kw. turbo generator seta, the
requisite steam boilers, electrical
switchgear, transformers, overhead
transmission line and sub-stations.
Provision is to be made for the
extension of the power station at
some future date.
STAINED GLASS WINDOWS
Are Being Shipped Through the
Minefield*
One of the world’s leading crafts
men in stained glass put out the fires
of his kiln, where the colours are
burnt into the glass, and said fare-
| well to his staff when war broke out
eight montlis ago.
To-day the fires are re-lit, the
staff is re-assembled, and the Lon
don workshop is busy satisfying or
ders from abroad.
The first of the war orders leaves
England soon for the United States.
It is a great window for St. Paul’s
School Chapel, Concord, New Hamp
shire. Another window will shortly
be shipped to Canada, where it will
adorn the chapel of Wycliffe College,
Toronto; another is going to the
Scottish Church, Salisbury, Rhod
esia, and yet another to St. Mary’s
Church, Wellington, New Zealand.
The hands which produce the
masterpieces in coloured glass are
those of Reginald Bell. He learnt the
art from his father, who learnt it
from his own father before him.
“The craft of stained glass came
from Europe, where the French,
Swiss, Dutch, Germans and, later,
the Italians were experts," says fldr.
Bell. “But centuries ago it was in
troduced to Britain, chiefly through
the clergy, and it took growth.
Craftsmen took so naturally to the
art that as early as the 14th century
glass painting schools arose all over
the kingdom and .English stained
glass became the most sought after
even in the countries of Europe
where it originated, and where it
was already tending to decline.” f
Medallion windows for nurseries,
with portraits of animals, are among
recent fashions in stained glass,
which is by no means confined to
church decoration.

Appeal To PeopleSave Wild Flower*Some of Canada’s most beautifulwild flowers have dtaappenred forever. For many year* the system ofland development has been destroying the flower*. The woodman's axe,clearing and cultivating farm land--,building up cities, close grazing of
fields and woodlands, forest fire* and
erosion of the soil have all been re
sponsible for the destruction of the
natural floral beauty of Canada. The
toll ha* been increased by ignorance
or thoughtlemnew of person* in re
gard to what ia left of the wild flow
ers, and unless some care is taken
by the present generation and its
successors, there is the possibility
that no wild flowers will be left in
the Dominion.
The preservation of wild flower*
does not mean that no one is to pick
them bub it does demand a little
thought on the part of the picker.
For example, some wild flower*
should not be picked at all. Plante
like the white trillium are best left
alone because they cannot be picked
without removing all the foliage upon
which depends the maturing of the
bulbous root for the following sea
ton’s crop of flowers. Other species
like violate and hepatic** whose flow
er stem rises directly from the
roots may be picked at will, provided
the body of the plant is left undis
turbed. Tearing up a plant by the
roots to gain a bioom is wanton des
truction and can end only one way—
the passing of beautiful wild flowers
from the Canadian landscape. It is
against reckless plucking of wild
flower* that the various horticultural
societies throughout the Dominion,
make an appeal to the people of
Canada.

Throwing in “lucky" silver is only
a superstition, for bells are made
from two metals only, 13 parts of

British 'bells are in great demand
overseas in spite of tariffs because
the secret of scientific tuning is in
rfhe hands of a few specialist families,

are only three founders who make

and the U. S. A. are the best cus

Canadian* Urged To Buy
Canadian-Made Goods
To Conserve Exchange
“The need for conservation of
American exchange suggests that
even now we should avoid as far as
possible the importation of articles
which can be produced with reason
able efficiency by the use of exist
ing labor and equipment," Wallace
R. Campbell, president, Ford Motor
Company of Canada, Limited, stated
in a recent address to shareholder*
of the company.
Mr. Campbell pointed out that the
Automobile industry is an obvious ex
ample of an industry in which there
is no lack of productive capacity in
Canada and yet there were 18,064
finished automobiles imported in
1939 which required an expendi
ture of approximately $15,000,000
in United States currency.
Graphically substantiating Mr.
Campbell’s statement the Canadian
Ford company has just published an
illustrated booklet which portrays
many of the actual manufacturing
operations in the 45-acre Ford plant
at Windsor, Ontario.
In this booklet, a typical Canadian
couple are taken on a tour of the
Ford plant They see more than
7,000 men at work building cars and
trucks from Canadian materials.
They learn that the Canadian Ford
plant first began operations in 1904
and has grown to ibe the largest auto
mobile plant iiv Canada and an im
portant supply centre for the greater
part of the British Empire.
The Ford company spent approx
imately $30,000,000 in Canada in
1939 for wages, salaries, materials,
services, duties-and taxes; Canadian
fords exported to British possessions
totalled 70 per cent of all Canadian
automotive exports in 1939; in addi
tion to the 7,400 persons directly
employed by Ford in 1939 an es
timated 22,000 Canadian woikers
were employed in factories in nearly
100 Canadian communities because

Because Red Cross must be prepared to meet emergencies all overthe world at a moment's notice andoperates in a field entirely its own,
the Canadian Red Crow Society,
meeting in Central Council In Tor
onto recently, decided to continue its
policy of holding its appeal for funds
separate from that of any other
body, it was announced by Dr. Fred
W. Routley.
“There has been some suggestion
that all war-time appeals should be
combined in one joint effort,” he
said, “but there are several reasons
why Red Cross cannot join this
‘Community Chest* idea. Through
the government, we have assumed
the unique responsibility of caring
for the sick and suffering, while the
work of most other organisations
engaged in war-time activities is re
creational and educational.
“.We have no idea how big the de
mands made upon us will ibe in the
months to come, and so it is impos
sible for Bed Cross to have a fixed
budget We must be free to under
take a campaign at any time, often
on short notice.
“We don't know how many Canad
ian prisoners of war there will be.
Our job is to look after them all, for
Red Cross is the only organisation
permitted to provide for prisoners in
belligerent countries.
“During the last war, the Canadian
Red Cross cared for 2,500 Canadians
interned in Germany at one time.
The total number during the whole
war was, of course, much larger.
We can’t tell, either, how many
Canadians will lie wounded in hos
pital.
Our hands must be free to act at
"a moment’s notice in any emergency.
There is the additional consideration
that our contributors must be free to
designate the purpose for which they
wish their money used. Through Red
Cross, huge sums of money have
been sent to Poland and Finland.
Dr. Routley pointed out that in
peace time and war, Red Cross acted
immediately when disaster struck
anywhere in the world, and especially
right here in Canada, such as the
tragic explosion in Halifax in 1917,
forest-fires, and so on.
He referred also to the relief and
rehabilitation "work done in past
years in the Western Canada
drought areas and the flood-stricken
districts of Western Ontario.
“The extent of Red Cross services
can only be measured by the willing
ness and ability of the Canadian
people to provide the means. We do
all they want us to do, Ibut this very
idea would be defeated if we com
bined our appeal with that of groups
doing a different type of work.
“The people of Canada have been
right behind us so far in all we have
done. They approved our war-time
action 'right from the start, when we
cabled $10,000 to England fot the
relief of victims of the Athenia-tor-
pedoing the day war was declared,
and when we had supplies and medi
cal attention ready for these passen
gers on their return to Canada.
“Red Cross is a missionary organ
ization because the work of every
branch goes far beyond the confines
of the community in which it is lo
cated. Each branch does its part in
meeting all emergencies, such as re
cent earthquake destruction in Tur
key. It helps in the upkeep of all
service- peace-time and war, provid
ed by Red Cross, health, outpost hos
pitals, and so on.

I Theatre Guild
Presented Play*
One of the largest meetings ever
held by members of the Ingersoll
Little Theatre Guild was that of
Thursday evening last, in the Guild’s
quarters, at the public library,
j ArrangAnents were made at the
meeting-^for the final presentation
of plays which will terminate the
1939-1940 season. It was also de
cided that the Ingersoll group would
compete in the drama festival to be
held in London' this week.
At the close of the business meet
ing, two plays were .presented, one
being written by Mks Irene Cole
aad entitled “Through a Glass Dark
ly.” It will be remembered that
this play received an honorable men
tion during the recent contest held
by the Guild to encourage local play
writers.
Under the direction of the author,
the play was well acted and Miss
Cole received many congratulations
on her effort. Those taking part
were Miss Jean McKenzie, Mrs. Vin
cent Wilson, Jack Hutt and Jfttrgar-
et Beck.
The second play—an hilarious
comedy—was acted by Miss Mar
jorie Haffey, Miss Helen Hawkins,
Miss Helen Bower, Miss Margaret
Bower, Allister Murray, Jack Hutt
and David Stone. This play was
directed by Mrs. George Beck.
After the program, delicious re
freshments were served by Miss Mae
Horsman and Mrs. Stanley J. Smith
and a pleasant social time was en
joyed by all.

“Every housewife can do her bit
and help others do theirs—by keep
ing her, family’s health at a higu
level.”—Canadian Medical Associa
tion.
Thus ends the introduction on the
inside front cover of a new booklet
just now cbming off the presses en
titled “Food for Health in Peace and
War.”
Prepared bv the nutrition expci U
of the Canadian Medical Association,
and embodying knowledge gained
after years of study and research,
including the very latest, the book
let i* published by the leading lire
insurance companies in Canada.
It u written in the simplest lang
uage, .and instead of rambling on
about vitamins and calorie*—about
which the average housewife knows
very little of practical use in tne
kitchen—quickly turns into a set >f
weekly food budgets for single per
sons, children, and various size fam
ilies. So many quarts of milk, pounds
of cheere, bread and so forth, for a
family of five. Cost, $8.95—on the
basis of city prices. For those
living on the laud, the quanti.ica
are given in pounds and fractions c2
a pqund.
It all boils down to this: Eat
first the kind and amount of food re
quired to maintain normal disease
resisting health, then add whatever
you wish or can afford after that
But GET THE ESSENTIALS—-ai d
thwart the germs that may descend
on the world as did the 'Flu in 1)19.
On page five is a special note; “The
Canadian farmer produces all the
foods necessary for good health,” a
real boost for Canadian agriculture.
Recently, in Toronto, Dr. Freder
ick F. Tisdall, chairman of the Com
mittee on Nutrition, Canadian Medi
cal Association, in a nation-wide rrd-
io broadcast stated that if every
Canadian would eat the proper foods
in the proper quantities (set ferth
in the booklet) the consumption of
Canadian-grown foods would be in
creased by 12 per cent
One million two hundred thousand
copies of this /booklet have been
printed in English, and 300,000 in
French. 1

any Canadian housewife or genuine
ly interested person, and can be cb-

proximately $1,100,000 greater th-m
the exports in the preceding fiscal
year which were valued at $17,673,-
301. The change from a year ago
was accounted for by a gain of $1,-
858,000 in the value of cheese ex
ports, $193,500 for powdered mi’k,
and decreases of $617,000 in‘exports
of butter, $81,600 for condensed
milk and $247,600 for evaporated
milk. During the month of March
this year exports Of dairy products
were considerably greater in value
than in March 1939, exports this
March totalling $1,264,909 as agaurt
$912,197 last March. Shipment of
cheese during March 1940 to the
United Kingdom amounted to 4,917,-
490 pounds Ss compared with 421,600
pounds in March' 1939, and all coun-
tries 5,103,700 pounds as compared
with o2(?,400 pounds. Offsetting
this improvement was a decrease in
exports of butter which declined
from 2,179,700 pounds in March
19^9, to 35,400 in March 1940. Ship
ments of both condensed and powder
ed milk showed substantial rcduc-
tions, while shipments of evaporated
milk rose slightly.

MAKE YqUR NEXT MEATORDER PORKButcher riwve and meat depart
ments of grocery stores are now
displaying a large variety of smoked
poik product** at reasonable prices.
Why not make yw next meat order
a whole or half ham, or a cured perk
shoulder? They can be purchased
either boned or with the bone still
in the meat end, of course, the price
of the boned pork is higher because
every ounce is solid meat. There is
considerable difference, too, between
the price of hams and shoulders as
the former are very choice.
From the variety of smoked pro
ducts on the market a housewife can
choose the cut to suit her purse and
the sixe to suit her needs. The Con
sumer Section, Marketing Service,
recommends the following methods
for cooking hams and smoked shoul
ders:—
Baked Ham
Wipe ham. Place in covered roast
ing pan. Add 1 H <ups boiling water.
Cover. Bake in oven at 300* F. al
lowing 20-25 minutes for each pound
of ham. Remove from oven. Peel
off rind. Score the fat. Rub dry mus
tard into fat Then cover fat well
with mixture of dry bread or cracker
crumb* and brown sugar, in propor
tion of 1-3 crumbs to 2-3 sugar. Stick
whole cloves into surface—about
1 % inches apart. Bake in hot oven
about 30 minutes, or until surface is
slightly browned.
Ham Cooked in Water
, Wipe off ham. Place in large
kettle Cover with cold water. Bring
water to boiling point. Keep water
at simmering temperature, just be
low boiling, allowing 25 minutes for
each pound of ham. Take ham from
water. Remove Ain. Finish as
“Baked Ham." One cup of brown
sugar and one cup vinegar, added
to the water in which ham is cooked,
gives an excellent flavour to the
meat.
Shoulders may be cooked by the
same methods as hams. If either the
ham or shoplder is boned and en
cased in cellophane wrapper, the
meat may be boiled or baled in the
wrapper.
In place of using crumb and
sugar mixture the ham may be
glazed with a mixture of 2 teaspoons
mustard, 1-4 cup vinegar, 1-4 cup
sugar and 1 cup ham stock. ^fter
Control CutwormsEarly In SpringCutworms ano usually active andfeeding before most crops are evenin the ground. Hence, says Alan G.Duston Drgi»k>n of Entomology, Do
minion Department of Agricuture,
it ia important to be prepared for
their attacks at the first of the sea
son. Bran bait has given effective
control for many years. It is made
up of bran, 20 lb., Paris Green, one-
half tb., molasse*, one quart, and
wafer, about 2*4 gallons.
In making the bait, the dry ingred
ient* should first be tboroughy mixed.
The molasses ia stirred into the water
and added to the bran and Paris
green. In mixing, add only enoughwater to make the material the consistency of sawdust. It should notbe nude sloppy but so that it willcrumble in the hands and slipthrough the fingers easily. Land thatwas heavily infested in the formeryear should be treated before the
plants are set out. This ia done by
broadcasting the bait at the rate of
15 to 20 lb. per acre a few nights
before transplanting. One applica
tion should be suffleeint, but if the
cutworms are numerous a second ap
plication should be made two or
three days after the first. Always
■’pread bait in the evenings just be
fore dusk, and, if possible, choose a
warm, still night for the wotk.
If the attack is unexpected and the
plants already in the field, the bait

Farm Management
Variation in Farm Earnings
One of the .’triking facts revealed
by farm surveys is the wide varia
tion in yearly earnings from farm
to farm. This has been demonstrated
again by a pTbject recently under
taken by the Economics Division,
Marketing Service, Dominion De
partment of Agriculture, in co-oper
ation with the Agricultural Econom
ics Department of the Ontario Agri
cultural College, Guelph. Detailed
records of the farm business year
ending May 30, 1938, were secured,
from 266 opeiatora of hog-produc
ing farm.** located in Eastern, Cen
tral and Western Ontario, includ
ing records from the Counties of
Leeds, Lanark,, Grenville, Welling
ton, Waterloo, Perth, Kent and
Lambton.
The range in farm earnings for
the year was greatest in the Kent-
Lambton area. Here the variation
between the highest farm, which had
earnings of $4,316, and the lowest
farm which lost $1,234, was $5,550.
The earnings of the 74 farms visited
in this area were diXnbuted fairly
widely between these two extremes,
with an average for all farms of
$986. However^ it is a significant
fact that at (east one farm had
earnings approximately $3,500 above
the average, and a considerable
number had earnings one, two, and
three times greater than average.
A similar variation in earnings
from farm to farm was found in the
Centraf and Eastern areas vfeited
On 107 farms located in the Counties
of Wellington, Waterloo and Perth,
the average earnings for the year
was $1,096, with a range of over
$3,000 between the highest and
lowest farm. In the Leeds-Lanark-
Grenville area, the earnings of 85
farms ranged all the way from a low
of (Minus) $645 to a high of $3,068.
How then can the fact be ac
counted for that in each of the three
areas visited, some farms were high-

HYDRO POWER

BIGGEST
BARGAIN
YES, electric service for the home is the biggest bargain
that ever figured in a family budget! Because the cost of
Hydro service has come down, down, down. Today,
average cost per unit in Ontario is only 1 >4 cents as
pared with an average in 1914 of 5 cents.
Think what that means! It means that nearly every
Ontario family can afford to use the modern Electric

a few cents a day you can enjoy delicious meals cooked

successful? The answer to this
question lies largely in the individual
farm business manager himself. By
carefully comparing and andlyzing
the yearly records of the 266 farms,
it has been possible to isolate the
factors chiefly contributing to finan
cial success in fanning. The first
essential ia to build up a sufficiently
large volume of business, consisting
of a well-balanced and efficiently
managed crop and live stock pro
gram. A small farm business, no
matter how skilfully managed, can-
•not be very' profitable because the
difference between receipts and ex
penditures will not be large, and
labour and capital will not be put to
its most effective use.
In this study the most successful
farm managers were those with live
stock above average in numbers and
quality, ,’upportcd by a cropping
< prft®ram featuring yield* above aver
age of the most profitable varieties
of crops. Lack of success was gen
erally due to failure to conduct op
erations on a sufficiently large scale,
or as a result of poor ertp yield*
and nonproductive, live stock.

FORMER INGERSOLL BOYWITH R.C.A.F.- WRITES FROM ENGLAND -The following letter was receivedrecently by Mr. and Mr. William
Young of Toronto, from their son,
William, who is with the R.C.A.F.,
somewhere in England. Mr. and Mrs.
Young and family who resided on
Wonham street, Ingeraoll. and were
well known here, moved to Toronto
some four or five yean ago:—
March 8th, 1940
Dear Mother and Dad:
Hello Everybody! Well, I have
just returned from a holiday that I
will never forget as long as I live.
I don’t know if I have enough paper
to describe it but here goes anyway.
I left camp on Monday morning at
8.30 and took the train to London.
I arrived there at 11 a.m. and found
myself in Waterloo station in the
centre of London and I didn’t even
know where I was going. There were
supposed to be three of us going
together, but the other* couldn't get
their leave at the same time, so I
went alone.
Anyway I was still alone when I
got there and the first thing I saw
was a Y.M.C.A. sign, bo in I went
and asked for a good place to stay.
They directed me to the Beaver Club
which is run by Canadian people and
their friends living in England, for
Canadian soldiers. I took a subway
train to Trafalgar Square and after
asking about five people I found the
club. It was a wonderful place. There
are no accommodations there for
sleeping, nothing but a large canteen
cafeteria, reading and writing rooms
and game rooms. There is a register
desk where everyone who comes in
must register where they are from
in Canada and what unit they be.ong
to. Then there is the information j
desk where they give you the loca
tions of various clubs, Canadian of
course, where you can stay. I will
tell you more about that desk later.
I picked out lhe Queen Victoria Club
and after finding the directions of
how to get there, I was told that
after I had got located to comg
tack to the Beaver Club.
I took a bus from Trafalgar
Square and told the conductor to let
me off at Goodge Street stop. He
pointed out a good-looking girl to
me and told me when she got off
that was my stop, so of course I
didn’t mind following a good-looking
girl around, and kept my eye on her.
When she got off I followed and sure
enough it was the right place, but
das the girl went the other way
and I had to go mine. Well, J finally
found the street I wanted and I was
about halfway down the street, when
a man stopped me and asked if I had
just arrived in town and if I was
looking, for the Victoria Club. It
turned out that he was the shoe
shiner at the club. He offered to
show me some of the city, so when
1 checked in at the club we started
out. It was then about 1 p.m., and I
hadn’t had dinner yet, so we stopped

at a restaurant and had dinner.Boy, what a meal, it cost me 1 shill
ing and 6 pence, which in our money
cornea to aibout 35c.
Feeling much better we started
out again and 1 have marked the
route en the maps I am sending you.
We came to Westminster Abbey and
so, of course, I had to go through it
and you could never believe there
was a place like it unless you really
saw it. All of the tombs of England's
oldest and most important people:
Lord Nelson and Henry III and
many other historical people. We
saw where the King was crowned
and the coronation chair. Many of
the tombs had sandbags around them
and we could not see some of the
important ones like Queen Elizabeth.
The carvings and statues in the
place were marvellous and have been
there for hundreds of yean. We
were in there for two hours and then
we started for Buckingham Palace
which isn’t very far away. I thought
perhaps we might see the changing
of the guard, but they- have taken
them away and the soldiers a;o
guarding it now. We were not lucky
enough to see the King and Queen
so we walked over to 10 Downing
Street to see Prime Minister Cham
berlain’s home, but we didn’t see the
Prime Minister or his wife either.
The Parliament Buildings were right
across the road so we walked all
around them also.
My guide then took me toward
the high society part of London. No
doubt you have heard of Park Lane
and Piccadilly Circus and Hyde
Park—well we toured all around
them. Big liveried doormen in front
of each hotel and apartment build
ing, men m top hats and morning
dress, although it was aftertncn
then. We finally reached Marble
Arch. That might sound funny to
you, but in London all of the main
gates to Hyde Park are called arches,
and all of the main corners as wewould call Q*ueen and Yonge in Tor
onto are called circuses here.
We then came into the business or
departmental section, of West Lon
don known as Oxford Street There
is nothing’ but department stores,
such as Eaton’s and Simpson’s and
believe it or not they even have1
Woolworth's over here, only instedB
of 5-10 and 15c it is 3 pence, 6
pence and a shilling, which in our
money is 6c, 12c and 24c.
It was then about 5 p.m., and we
were back at the club. My guide
went home and of course, I went into
the club. When I got inside I met
the secretary, and she asked me if
I would, like to go out for supper, but
feeling kind of shy I refused. She
then told me there was an invitation
to dinner the next day for six of the
Colonial soldiers, so I accepted that
one and went to bed, and boy, was
I tired.
Next morning, 3 a.m., Tuesday—
I am doing gpod, 8 pages and I have
just passed my first day in London.
Well, by the time I had my breakfast
and got my buttons shined, it was
12 o’clock and time for my dinner
date. The place I had to go was on
Bow Street. I suppose you have
heard of Bow Street Police Station
in London, well the place I wfent to
was Elder and Fyfe Banana Co.
There were six of us and we were
taken in to a small room where we
met two of the big shots of the
company and were were served din
ner right there and what ajjfeal. six
courses. I thought I would have to
quit at the fourth, but I managed
to struggle through. We were tkei
taken to the theatre to see Deanna
Durbin in "First Love”, one of her
pictures that I hadn’t seen. When
we came out of course we had to
have tea, but I drank coffee instead.

When we left the restaurant w«were put in a taxi anjl taken packto the club. There «u an invitationat Qie club for all of us to go to adance that night, ao that is w«.erjwo headed for. We had a good t rueand all of the girls who were therewere in uniform ao you know moatof them are here. I finally got home
at midnight after leaving the dance
at eleven, but these London black
outs are no fun to find your way in.
■The next morning we were taken
on a tour through the Royal mint
and it was very interesting. 1 a-n
sending you a souvenir I picked up
there. When it is finished it is called
a threepenny bit, worth 6c in Can
ada. It took us 3 hours to go through,
but it was really worth it. Wnen
we left the Mint we went to the-
Beaver Club and were given an in
vitation to go to the Royal Opera
House to a ball. Dancing starts at
7 p.m. in London.and stops at mid
night, so we had to go early. We
had a marvellous time and were
given our own private box by the
Duchess of Claremont, who later in
vited us to her country home the
next week-end that we were in Lon
don (not bad, eh?) I don’t think I
missed a dance. I dont want to brag,
but anyone with an R.C.A.F. uni
form on in London is considered an
honor to meet, so as far as danci:>g
is concerned, we didn’t have to aak
the girls, they asked us.
The next morning there was an
other invitation for dinner by the
Rotary Club of the Kensington dis
trict in London and of course, with
a free meal we could not refuse.
What a place. It was held in the
largest departmental store in Lon
don. It is called Derry and Toms.
We met all of the business men of
the district and after a speech by
one of the members, we were taken
up to the roof gardens, I can’t des-
rcribe it to you, but I am sending
you some post cards of it. The King
and Queen visit it every yean »o
it must be important.
After we left the store we went
back to the Beaver Club and were
given another invitation to the
Roya] Opera House to a dance.
Three nights in a row to dances, so
you can imagine how I felt when it
was all over. Tired isn’t the word
for it.
The next morning there was a
tour of the tower of London, which
is something that anyone who comes
to London should not miss. We were
shown everything,—where Henry
V-TH’s wives lo?t heads, where
the little princes were murdered, all
of the torture instruments that were
used 500 and 600 years ago. We got
in there at 10 a.m., and left at
2 p.m., so you can see we did not
miss much. This was Friday and I
had to report at 6.30 Saturday, so
I said goodbye to everyone who had
shown me such a good time and took
the 3.30 train*that afternoon. I did
not have to start work until Monday
morning, so I have had a nice rent
this.week-end. It is pretty bad when
they give you leave and you are
supposed to rest; but when you come
back and have to rest that is worse.
I hope Dad is feeling O.K., and I
am still waiting for the first mail, so
ju-t keep on writing, it will get to
me sometime. There will be three
or four letters in this bunch with all
of my souvenirs in them. Good-byo
for now. Cheerio Old Top!
All my love—

It is hoped that the club will find

Britain who were unemployed at the
outbreak ef war are now at work as
a result of the Government drive to
increase the peace time output of
240,000,000 tons a year by 40,000,-
000 tons.
Lord Portal, chairmau of the Coal
Production Council, is now touring
Bn:»h coalfields to ^peed produe-
tion up to the full 280,000,000 tons
required to meet the enormous world
demand created by the blockade of
German exports.
gan Germany was selling abroad
some 24,000,000 tons a year and
Poland 14,000,000 tons, almost half
of which trade it is estimated, has
now been cut off by the
France, Italy, the South Ameri
can countries and overse|s bunker
ing stations are all clamouring tor
supplies and inquiries are also com
ing in from Canada, Portugal,
Greece, Egypt and Algeria. Italy
lost 2,000,000 tons of coal when
shipments from Rotterdam were held
up: now she is second only to France
as a buyer of South Wales coal and
there is no doubt that she would take
far more if it were available.
It is possible that the Government
will now help to re-open many of the
40 mines which for economic reasons
have been shut down since 1929.
These and other measures are now
being discussed with the coal owners
and miners’ leaders by the Coal Pro
duction Council.
BRITISH INDUSTRY BOOMING
The war news from British in
dustry is as good as the announce
ments of battles won by sea and air.
Reviews just published from great
British undertakings whose interests
girdle the world tell encouraging
stories of Britain’s industrial strength
and capacity, especially in engineer-
ing and ship-building.
The Associated Electrical Indus
tries group, for example, report that
orders on hand jxceed £19,000,000
and that the number of employees,,
to grow. Orders are coming in from
Empire and foreign countries, one of
the biggest being the recent £1,500,-
000 contract for a huge power sta
tion for Turkey.
The famous engineering and arma
ment firm of Vickers has maintained
a strong position in spite of immense
pansion to meet possible require
ments which have now materialised.
This firm is particularly proud that
H. M. Ships Ajaz, Cossack and Ursula
were built in its yards, “and 1 be
lieve as firmly built as they were
finely handled,” said the chairman
of the company. The aviation sec
tion designed and produced the Wel
lingtons and Spitfires. >
The great rubber manufacturing
concern of Dunlop shows a spectacu
lar advance of over £1,350,000 in
profits for the year, yet Government
orders represent only 7% per cent-
of the turnover. Their trading con
ditions overseas continued favour
ably in spite of the war.

already achieved a big victory against
unforseen odds.
When agriculture was set the task
of ploughing up 2,000,000 extra
acres of grassland by the end of
April, no one knew that the winter
was going to be the coldest for 45
years, and that so many days would
be lost owing to snow, ice and frost
that {("would be the worst plough
ing season within living memory.
Yet just before the end of April
Britain’s ploughmen and ploughgirls
had completed 1,900,000 of the extra
acres.
Industry played its part in the
achievement. Since last June mot r
farm tbactors at work on the land
have increased by 13,000 and there
are now 70 times as many of them
as were at work in the food growing
campaign of 1914. The Government
also holds huge reserves of agricul
tural machinery.
Electricity is now also in the fore
front of giving service to the farms.
The ingenuity of the industry’s
scientists and engineers has resulted
in the electification of more than
200 types of farm equipment.
Farming has maintained its live
stock at the iame time as incrcnn-
ing its arable lands.
A livestock census taken by the
Ministry of Agriculture in March dis
pelled all fears of a serious diminu
tion. Cattle had actually increas
ed, and the number of sheep was
only a little less.

In London.
Two fair-haired young Icelanders
have established themselves as an un
official embassy in a small London
office, near Buckingham Palace, and
within a week of the Nazi invasion of
Denmark they were at work fostering
trade with Britain at the expense
of Germany.
The new “ambassador” is Petur
Benediktsson, age 33 and a descend
ant of the Vikings; he came to Lon
don to represent the diplomatic inter
ests of Iceland* at the Danish Lega
tion, but Iceland is for the time independent as Denmark is unable to
exercise her King's prerogative over
the island. The Danish Crown was
the connecting political link between
the two countries.
“As my country’s representative
on the Anglo-Icelandic Joint Stand
ing Committee in England, my job
is to exchange trade with Britain,"
said Mr. Benediktsson.
“Before the war, Germany was
one of Iceland’s most important.cus
tomers, but the British blockade has
cut Germany off completely from
our supplies of fish products and froz
en lamb. Britain Is now increasing
her purchases from us.”
As his “ charge d’affaires*', ___
Benediktsson has enlisted the ser
vices of a still younger Icelander, Mr.
Hilmer Foss, nephew of the Presi
dent of Iceland’s combined Parlia
ment. Mr. Foss happened to be in
London completing his studies when
Denmark was invaded and Iceland
-Became independent for the present
of the Danish Crown.

A film star was being examined
for a new divorce. He had been
married six times already and six
women gave him a very bad charac
ter. “Don’t pay any heed to their
•stories,” he told the judge. “They’re
only old wives’ tales.”
“I must say, sir,” said counsel for
the Crown heatedly, “that you are
the biggest rogue I’ve ever metl”
“And you, air, are the biggest fool
I ever set eyes on!” retorted his
oponent.

sionary Circle of The King’s Daugh
ters, on Thursday afternoon, May 9,

E. L. Olmstead and a short business
session was held, with the reports' in

gratifying. The ladies listened to
an interesting talk by Mrs. W. A.
Elliott. This was on the country of
Denmark which she visited for several
months a few years ago. Mrs.
Elliott told of their castles and their
historical background and dealt in an
interesting way with the life of
Thorvadsen, the noted sculptor. She
told of many of the customs of the
people and dealt in a picturesque way
with the many interesting trips she
took while visiting her daughter who
was then in residence there.
At the close of the program a
pleasant social period was epjoyed,
the hostess being assisted in serving
refreshments by Mrs. McCorquodale,
Mrs. R. I
