LO.O.F. DECORATION
SERVICES HELD SUNDAY
Summer Flower Show
Opened Here Yesterday MANY IN TOWN FOR
“SHOP IN INGERSOLL DAYS”
Full Entry In Golden
Bantam Bowling Tourney
Grand Master Charles M. Ire-
dale, Preston, Was Guest
Speaker.
The annual Decoration Services of
Samaritan Lodge, No. 35, LO.O.F.,
Ingersoll, was held on Sunday, Aug.
18th. On Sunday morning the graves
of deceased members of the LO.O.F.
Order and the Rebekahs were decor
ated at Harris Street Cemetery and
in the afternoon a goodly number of
members of Samaritan Lodge, No. 35,
and Keystone Rebekah Lodge, No.
69, Ingersoll, with several visiting
brethren and sisters, gathered at the
lodge rooms and motored to the Ing
ersoll Rural Cemtery, where the dec
oration service was held.
Past Grand J. Ferris David of
Samaritan Lodge, acted as chairman
of the afternoon and presided over
the short program which opened with
prayer by Rdv. Geo. A. McLean, minister of the Ingersoll Baptist Church.
The hymn, “0 God Our Help in
Ages Past," was sung after which a
lovely spray was placed at the base
of the S. O. E. Memorial in memory
of the members of the Order who
paid the supreme sacrifice in the last
Great War. The floral tribute was
placed by Mrs. V. T. Walker, Noble
Grand and Mrs. George Baskett,
Vice Grand of Keystone Rebekah
Lodge and Harley Atwood, Noble
Grand and Ray Lockey, Vice Grand
of Samaritan Lodge. As the flowers
were deposited, Rev. Mr. McLean
offered prayer.
The threatening weather of the
day was responsible in keeping down
the attendance and a light rain forced
the transferring of the last part of
the service from outside to the
Mausoleum.
The gathering was honored by a
visit from the Grand Master of the
Grand Lodge, LO.O.F. in Ontario,
Charles M. Iredale, of Preston, a
member of Cambridge Lodge, No.
188. Bro. Iredale was introduced to
the gathering by Bro. Howard Payne,
of Samaritan Lodge, newly elected
District Deputy for District No. 19.
In his remarks, Mr. Iredale touched
upon the history’ of the LO.O.F. Or
der and declared that it was to-day
the largest organization of its kind,
in the world, being non political, non
sectarian and deeply religious. He
paid tribute to the members for hol
ding annual memorial services as it
was an exemplification of the rever
ence for the work of die brothers and
sisters in the past that was respon
sible in building up the order to
what it was to-day. “Your respect
for the dead," said Mr. Iredale,” is an
example to the general public of
what we do for the living.” Social
legislation he stated was partially re
sponsible for the lessening of the ob
jective of the lodges to "Bury the
dead and educate the orphan.” In
closing he left the thought with his
hearers that unless they renewed
their faith and were energetic in
their work, the faith without work
meant nothing. Members must be tol
erant he declared and look forward
to the future *ith the utmost confi
dence as adversity bteeds success.
Following his Remarks the thanks
of the Ingersoll lodges was tendered
to him by Noble Grand Harley At
wood, and the singing of a hymn and
the National Anthem with the bene*
diction pronounced by Rev. Mr. Mc
Lean, brought the service to a close.
During the afternoon, the graves
of all deceased LO.O.F. and Rebekah
members buried in the cemetery,
were decorated with a beautiful bou
quet of flowers.
The climax to a successful season
of flower shows sponsored by the
Ingersoll Horticultural Society, is the
exhibition of summer bloom which
opened yesterday in the Ingersoll
Market Building. This is one of the
largest shows held by the local so
ciety in several years and is fea
tured by individual exhibits of flow
ers, cactus and evergreens. Consider
able time has been spent by the show
committee in arranging for the ex
hibition and the judges who commen
ced their work yesterday afternoon
had a difficult task ahead of them.
The show continues all day to-day
and the building will be open to the
public until 10 o’clock this (Thurs
day) evening. Any who have not as
jet visited the show should not fail
to attend before closing hour tonight.
There is no admission charge and the
public are cordially invited.

Horse’s Tail Caught
In Threshing Machine
WRINGER ROLLERS REPLACED
Wringer Rollers replaced. They
make your old wfinaft like new.Kestle’s Garage, QHone 179.
Threshing did not proceed with
the customary facility on the farm
of W .H. and George Nagle, R. R. 1,
Salford, on Friday. In fact there were
a number of features about the
affair whch set it apart as different
from most threshing.
The neighboring farmers were as
sembled in the barnyard at the par
ticular moment which saw the whole
thing swing into a time for prompt
and varied action. Roy E. Barnett
drove his team up beside the separ
ator in the usual way. One of the
horses switched her tail. It was
caught by the separator mechanism
and pulled in. The neighbors ran to
the frantic animal’s rescue. The big
belt was thrown off in the general
scuffle which ensued.
It was at this moment that the
Nagle horses, startled bj’ the general
hubbub, decided to take a break for
liberty. They were soon brought un
der control. And then, just to com
plete the picture, the team of Wil
liam Anscombc, also made a dash for
liberty. Tl^ey too were soon in hand
again.
The Barnett horse was painfully
injured, all the hair being pulled from
her tail, and part of the tail bone
ground off. It was stated that there
is little chance of bleeding being
stopped once the bone has been in
jured up to a certain point Neigh
bors said the injury'in this case was
close to that point The bleeding was
stopped by Dr. J. G. Murray of Ing
ersoll, who was hurriedly called to
the scene.

Trade and War
Capacity to produce is affected by our ability to
import. Modern industry represents the importation
of raw material which can be produced more cheaply
abroad than at home.
It would be folly at a time like this to waste effort
by producing in Canada a product which we could
obtain more cheaply—that is with less cost in human
effort—by producing something else and exchanging
it for the things we neeed.
“Raw material” in the sense in which it is here
used, means products used in Canadian factories in
the production of other products. Steel is a finished
product, but it is the raw material of shipyards and
a raw material for tanks.
The lack of ability to import—due to the strangle
hold of the British navy, forces Germany and Italy
to expend far more labor power in production than
either country would be compelled to devote to this
purpose under normal conditions.
In war we seek to produce more with less effort.
Our blockade of the axis powers compels them to re
verse this process—to produce less with more effort.
The measure of change in this connection is shown
by a total increase in our imports in the first six
months of this-year, of $175,000,000 the increase in
exports was $145,000,000, The figures for June, the
last month available, show an increase of $34,500,000
in merchandise exports and $27,000,000 in imports.
There was also a substantial increase in exports of
non-monetary gold.
Canadian trade, despite war, moves upward and
helps to carry the burden of the war. The increased
demand for labor has led to National Registration—
the hope is to speed up production by drawing more
men into the army of workers. Many more will be
needed. The war is not yet over.

BRITISH INDUSTRIES— From Robert Williameon — .
War and Unemployment
What should be done in a struggle such as this?
There is only one way by which we can assure success
—Throw what we have into the conflict. It involves ah
the strength of the nation, human material and spirit
ual. This is totalitarian war. We will have reached the
zenith of our power when every individual, confident
of the righteousness of our cause, motes forward to
the defence of freedom, the defeat of autocracy,
doing from day to day the woik, which in its broadest
sense responds most clearly to the national need.
How far are we succeeding in this task? The pres
ent situation in regard t<^unemployment is the answer
to that question. We are moving rapidly to full em
ployment and therefore towards a tremendous in
crease in production. The index of employment in
manufacturing stood at 130.3 in. July of this year
This is higher thaq in any other year in Canadian
history. It is nearly fifty points above the level of
the depression year, 1933. In that year it stood at
80.7. .
We have travelled a. long way since the dark days
of the depression. The national income is rising,
industry is seeking the worker. National registration
this week was national stocktaking of the available
human material. It should help to speed up product
ion. We shall be a very busy people during the next
few years—but name one man who has ever discov
ered a nation idle—yet happy!

THE CANADIAN
RED CROSS SOCIETY
Canada’s Need
We must expand the production of materials for
the armies at the front, and we must increase the
volume of exports, particularly to the United States.
Exports are shipments out of Canada in payment for
the raw material which we import into Canada and
use in our own factories in the production of imple
ments of war. We are holding our own in this regard.
Canadian exports to the U. &. in June, 1939, were
$26,410,000—in 1940 they were $39,350,000. This
docs not include exports of non-monetary gold.
War is costly—so is a depression. The national in
come in 1929 was 4,718 million dollars. In 1933 it
was 2,032. In this year’s budget, Colonel Ralston,
then Minister of Finance estimated that the national
income Would reach 4,500 million in the fiscal year
ending March 31st next. Measured in purchasing
power the income of the Canadian people will reach
a new peak this year. War taxes, of course, will
take a part of this—-but with all our taxes we shall
have more money to spend than in any year since
the depression. War makes prosperity but . at tre
mendous cost.
The funeral of William Oliver was held from the
home of his son, William Oliver, Thamesford. The
late Mr. Oliver was in his 76th year and was a veteran of the Fenian Raid.

52 boys and girls of Oxford street, held a success
ful garden party on the lawn of Mr. R. B. Hutt,

To-day, farmers received the highest rate ever paid
for hogs, namely, $17.25 per cwt. The previous high
mark was $16.75. Dressed hogs have reached the
fancy price here of $24.00 per cwt.
It is of interest to note how some large estates are
dissipated these days. Ambrose J. Small, Toronto,
theatrical magnate who disappeared more than twenty
years ago after closing a deal for the sale of his
chain of playhouses at $1,000,000, was popularly sup
posed to have left fully $2,000,000 when he vanished
from mortal ken. His wife, Theresa Small, succeeded
to the estate. She had trouble with sisters of Small
and other relatives and finally made a settlement
whereby the two Small sisters were to have the in
come fpm $200,000 during life. Mrs. Small died in
1933. Id a court action in. Toronto the, other day,
the Small estate was said to be insolvent. Similarly,
an action in Chicago, disclosed that the estate of the
late Arthur Clutten, a native of Guelph, famous
Chicago grain operator and reputed multimillionaire,
was not sufficient to meet the income tax arrears.
The Wartime Prices and Trade Board seems deter
mined no one is to profit by recent changes in grain
prices: Bakers in Vancouver and other points announ
ced an increase of one cent per loaf in breaiLbut the
Board stepped in and declared the price of bread
must remain as sit July 23rd. The 15 cents a bushel
processing tax on all wheat products consumed in
Canada will add 70 cents a barrel to the price of
flour but the Board has ruled that this increase must
be absorbed and shared between the millers and the
bakers.

Establishment of another Maple
Leaf Club for the accommodation of
Canadian troops on leave in London,
England, has been authorized by the
Canadian Red Cross Society, Dr.
Fred W. Ro utlcy, national commis
sioner, announced Saturday.
The First Maple Leaf Club, oper
ated by the Society since the early
stages of the war, has provided thou
sands of Canadian soldiers with over
night accommodation and meals at
the lowest possible rates, and innum
erable letter^ of gratitude have been
received. Recreational facilities are
provided without cost, and the men
are taken on sight-seeing trips by
voluntary workers, including many
Canadian girls.
The second club, with 200 beds, is
being opened at the request of the
Overseas Committee of the Canadian
Red Cross and of Canadian Army of
ficials in England because the facili
ties of the first Maple Leaf Club
have been overtaxed and further ac
commodation is needed for the Can
adian troops, most of whom are un
familiar with London.
Dr. Routlcy also announced that
the Canadian Red Cross is sending
five station wagons to England for
use with the mobile surgical units of
the Canadian Neurological Hospital.
These are needed urgently to trans
port officers to the spot where the
surgical unite are called to handle
head injuries resulting from bomb
ings. There is no accommodation for
the officers in the surgical units and
they must be transported separately
in the shortest possible time.
One station wagon will also be
sent to the Canadian Red Cross Hos-’
pital and one to Number 15 Can
adian General Hospital in England.
Word from England states that
100,000 pairs of socks, made by the
women of Canada, were given re
cently to the British Navy League
and other naval organizations whose
requirements were urgent This. Dr.
Routley stated, is in line with the
“Canadian Red Cross policy of mak
ing our supplies available to all
branches of the service, British as
well aLCanadian.”

TEN DIAMOND FACTORIES
To Sot Up Famous Continental
Industry la Entland
Ten factories are to carry on in
England the diamond cutting and
polishing industry which, until the
German occupation, was the monoply
of Amsterdam and Antwerp.
The first of them, and the first
ever to carry out such work in Eng-
and, is now doing £200,000 worth
of business a year. Most of the
workers are skilled refugees and the
manager, an Englishman who has
been living in Antwerp since 1912,
has come back with a Belgian wife
tnd son to open up a new industry
in his own country.
During the two months before the
invasion of the Low Countries, Mr.
J. C Ginder, now Chairman of the
Birmingham Jewellers’ Association
Export Group, flew to Amsterdam
and Antwerp eighteen times buying;
up diamond cutting and polishing
machinery.
As the first Germans came into
Antwerp the last part of his order
lay on the wharf. It was essential
plant and there were dnly photo
graphs of it, yet from these photo
graphs drawing office plans were
reconstructed and the manufacture
of the machines made possible.
Britain through her control of the
South African sources of supply, al
ready has a monopoly of the rough
diamond trade, and she may now be
come the world centre of the whole
diamond industry.
For Jack of industrial diamonds,
used for turning up aeroplane pistons
and similar precision work, Germany
is now badly crippled in her arma
ment manufacture. Britain’s control
of this vital supply is definitely assist
ing the progressive deterioration of
German guns and aircraft.
HITLER’S GIFT TO ENGLAND
U.S.A. Market of 40,000,000
Flower Bulbs
Hitler is providing a generous
dietary to one considerable section of
Holland’s living things.
Dutch cattle are growing fat ontulip bulbs.
The Nazis have wiped out Ho!-:
land’s fields of daffodils, hyacinths
and tulips. There is a ban on all bulb
growing, so Dutch stocks are now
being destroyed or used up for
cattle feed. The cattle like tulip
bulbs best.
The result is that England has
just offered U.S.A. 40,000,000 Eng
lish-grown daffodil, tulip and hya
cinth bulbs for £250,000.
Little Holland, in Lincolnshire,
has already got 6,000 acres of bulbs:
for some years now the Dutch grow
ers themselves have come to England
for the costlier specimens.
The British Ministry of Agricul
ture had ruled that not more than
three quarters of -last year’s bulb
acreage should be sown, but the order
will probably be cancelled as flower
bulbs to-day are more valuable to
England than cabbages.
Roosevelt, a great flower lover,
has a magnificent display of' bulb
flowers at Hyde Park, his New York
home.
His favoirte is the tulip with daf
fodils secon.d
“BELEAGUERED" BRITAIN
Export* and Import* More Good*
Then Ever
The explanation of the British
Government's ability to remove all
restrictions on raw materials needed
for her export trade is to be discov
ered in the “accounts relating to the
trade of the United Kingdom" for
the first half of the year.
Over that period Britain’s imports
have gone up by £164,739,621 to
£612,527,356 compared with last
year.
Exports are also millions of pounds
higher than last year, or’even the
year before: a total of £249,737,661
or £13,418,937 more than JL9S9, and
£16,544,145 up on the last year of
peace, in spite of the disappearance
of certain European markets. Trade
with U.S.A., South America, Canada,
South Africa and Australia, has, in
each case, been well maintained.
Coupled with the announcement
that more raw materials are to be
freed for exports is the damping
down of horqe purchases in Britain
both by the new taxation and by de
finite ban such as the prohibiten of
the sale of new motor cars.for priv
ate use. The volume of exports, al
ready soaring in the teeth of the
“blockade", is expected, as a result,
to go higher and higher.
The bigger the “blockade” .indeed,
th* greater the trade.
, BRITAIN’S NEW IjOAF ,
Food Ministry’s Tribute to Millen’
War Effort
Britain's new loaf, announced by
Mr. Robert Boothby, Parliamentary
Secretary to the Ministry of Food aa“a great advance on what ha* hitherto been achieved by the country inthis field,” i* the result of four years’patient scientific research by the
milling industry of Great Britain.
They set out to uiacover how to
improve the food value of white flour
and broadband their investigations
showed that the be«t way was to in
crease the amount of vitamin B.l.
in flour.
This vitamin is essential to good
health, particularly during times of
strain when there is a call on physi
cal and mental effort.
British millers can now produce a
loaf, fortified with more vitamin B.l.,
which is no different in taste and ap
pearance from the popular white loaf
of to-day. Tests carried out by them
in Britain’s flour mills and in baker
ies show that the bread has the full
amount of vitamin B.l, when deliver
ed to the public.
“It is,” Mr. Boothby told the
British House of Commons, “a revol
utionary step from a nutritional point
of view which will attract world-:
wide atention”
Seed Lawn Grass
In Late August
Many lawn owners may not realize
lawns can be established in early fall.
Spring seeding unless done early,
frequently leads to poor results. The
seedling grasses do not become estab
lished soon enough to stand summer
heat or to compete with warm
weather weeds. On the other hand,
a lawn properly constructed and
seeded with the right kind of grasses
in early fali, becomes well established
and is in eonditon to grow rapidly
the following spring. Such a turf,
will stand bad midsummer condition
much better than one sown in spring.
Fall planting is particularly impor
tant for lawns shaded by deciduous
trees since they get lota of sunlight
in the fall and early spring when
the trees are bare. Fail seeding is
best donq early enough to let the
grass become well rooted before
freeze-up. At the Central Experimen
tal Farm, Ottawa, the usual time for
fall seeding is during the last two
weeks of August. Any bare and thin
areas on old lawns may also be re
seeded at that time.
It is possible to start a lawn in
the fall and complete all but the
final stage* of preparation before
freeze-up. Fertilization, seed-bed
preparation and seeding may be car
ried out without delay, once the soil
is in working shape in spring. Infor
mation on laying out and care of
lawns may be obtained by writing te
the Division of Forage Plants, Cen
tral Experimental Farm, Ottawa.

were bought costing $69.90, the bal
ance was put in the general account.
Added to the knitted wear shipped
tb Toronto, 60 pairs of socks, 4
scarves and 15 sweaters have been
given to enlisted men from this dis
trict. Thirty pairs of socks have been
sent to Lieut. C. K. Hoag for Inger
soll men who are serving in the Vet
erans’ Home Guard in Windsor.
Up to August 1st, the sum of
$3560.85, hus been spent for wool
and materials, and we are glad to
say that we have been able to keep
within the budget allowance as plan
ned at the first of the year. There
were many times when groups could
not be given the amount of material
or wool which they required but this
was unavoidable if we were to keep
within the budget amount for each
month. Sometimes a shortage was
caused by delayed filling of orders,
but every effort was made to keep
the supply, as far as possible, equal
to the demands made upon it
This committee would express our
deep appreciation to all who worked
so loyally to those whose donations of
material and finished articles, helped
to fill our shipments, to the mer
chants of Ingersoll who have co-op
erated in every possible way and to
the Press who have so kindly printed
our reports from month to month
Several importent notices were re
ceived from headquarters in Toronto
during the monthy of July. We were
informed that no more shipments of
refugee clolnmg were to be sent to
Toronto, that there was a sufficient
supply of hospital articles on hand
for the present, and it was suggested
that branches close their rooms for
the monthof August.
This does not mean that our work
is finished, but only that we are to
have a breathing space in which to
attend to home duties and relax suf
ficiently, that when the rallying call
comes we will all be ready and will
ing to take up our work again. A let
ter was sent to War Council members
giving this Information to the various
units and organizations whose mem
bers have worked so willingly and
steadfastly throughout the past

TAKING CLOSE-UP PICTURES
To get close-ups like this, use fine grain film and a portrait attachment
—then have just the best part of the picture enlarged, with surplus areasmasked out.
CLOSE-UPS of small subjects
make fascinating pictures for
your album—and many snapshots
of this type can*be taken, even
with fixed-focus cameras, that ordi
narily must be used five, six, or
eight feet from a subject.
The trick, of course, is to use a
supplementary lens or “portrait at
tachment," that slips on over the
camera lens’. Such attachments are
inexpensive, and don't let the name
mislead you. They are useful not
only for close-ups of people, but
also for shots of any fairly small
subject •
For example, consider the pic
ture of the butterfly above. At adistance of eight feet from the
camera, the butterfly would be lit
tle more than a speck on the film.
However, with a portrait attachment. the camera could be brought
closer—in most cases, to within
three feet of the subject, or less—
thus giving you a much larger
image.
If you used a focusing camera,
you could get even nearer bymeans of the attachment. For ex
ample, with a camera focused for

three and one-half feet, the correct
distance would only be twenty-
three Inches with the attachment
in use. You could thus get almosttwice as close!
However, the short "taking dis
tance" is just the beginning. If you
get an image of reasonable size onthe film, it can be increased con
siderably when enlargements are
made—especially If you use a mod
ern fine grain film. And you don'tneed to show the whole picture in
the enlargement You can have
any surplus material at the top,
bottom, or sides “masked off,” sothat your picture shows only the
portion of most interest The but
terfly picture was enlarged in that
manner, and greatly improved.
In taking close-up shots, remem
ber two points: measure the correct distance very carefully, and
use a rather small lens opening.
Also, whenever possible, use fine
grain film for better enlargements.
These pictures are just about aseasy to take as any other kind—
and big, dramatic close-ups certain
ly do lend interest to your snapshot
collection.

Production of .Sugar
Beet* Has Increased
Production of sugar beets and also
of refined beetroot sugar in Canada
has been increasing in recent yearn
The 1939 crop of sugar beets was
586,444 tons, valued at $4,417,372,
as compared with 498,102 tons in
1938, valued at $3,403,635, an in
crease in volume tor 1939 over 1938
of 88,342 tons and in value of $1,-
013,737. In 1937 the production was
422,152 tons valued at $2,825,006.
The seeded acreage in 1939 was
59,603 compared with 45,322 acres
in 1938 and 46,669 acres in 1937.
The acreage in 1937 and 1938 was
exceeded in 1935 (51,985 acres) and
1936 ( 52.748 acres), but in 1934
only 38,495 acres were planted. With
these exceptions the upward trend
has been maintained since 1918 with
the 1939 acreage and value standing
as the highest recprdAl.
The production of refined beetroot
sugar has shown a corresponding in
crease from 143,013,847 lb., valued
at $6,001,380 in 1938 to 169,320,343
lb., valued at $8,063,332 in 1939.
The year 1936 came nearest in re
cent years to 1939 ’with a value of
$6,103,264, the highest value up to
that time since 1918.

Canadian Institute on
Economics and Politic*
Among notable speakers to be heard
at the ninth annual Canadian Insti
tute on Economics and Politics, to be
held at Lake Couchiching, Aug. 17 to
25, one of<4he most interesting is
Robert W. Keyserlingk, son of a Rus
sian Count who was Commander of
the Imperial Russian Navy.
The Keyserlinkg family fled to
Japan when the Revolution broke
out, and Robert was educated at the
Canadian Academy at Kobe." Later
he went to China and subsequently
migrated to Canada.
He is a graduate of the University
of British Columbia, has been press
correspondent- in most of the Euro
pean capftah, and at present is gen
eral manager of the British United
Press.
A less hectic life is that of Robert
Valeur, born in France and educated
at the University of Lyons. Entering
the United States on a Rockefeller
Fellowship, Mr. Valeur studied at the
University of Chicago, the Columbia
Law School, Harvard, and later at
Oxford. He was admitted to the
French bar, but returned to the U.
S. and became a teacher of compara
tive international economics at Col-
umbia University;
A third outstanding personality to
address the forthcoming Institute
is Mrs. \>ra Micheles Dean, who was
also born in Russia.
She has travelled in practically
every European country, and has
made special studies of Italian and
Russian economics, on which she has
several pamphlets. Author of “Eur
ope in Retreat,” Mrs. Dean is Direct
or of the Foreign Policy Association
Research Department, and editor of
research publications.
Other speakers will include: B. K.
Sand well, of Toronto; J. B. Brebner
Columbia University; Principal M. W.
Wallace, Toronto; Jean Charles Har
vey, Montreal; Clifford Sifton and E.
J. Tarr, of Winnipeg; Percy Corbett,
Montreal; Richard S. Lambert, Tor
onto; Capt. Tracy Philipps, late of
the British Foreign Office; K. W.
Taylor, Ottawa, and Prof. F. R.
Scott, Montreal.
Guest—“Listen, waiter, my bill
for my party comes to $13, not $14!”
Waiter—“Sorry, sir ... I thought
perhaps you might be a bit supersti
tious.”
GIVE US NEWS
There has never been a news
paper printed that satisfied
everybody. But there is a very
simple method by which better
newspapers can be produced
and that is for those who
subscribe to them to take an
individual interest in seeing
that they get more local and
personal news. -Not that the
subscriber is expected to be
come a reporter when he
becomes a subscriber, but be
cause the newspaper stands as
the exponent of all that is good
for the community and because
civic pride should, therefore,
lead to encouragement of such
an institution. If the subscriber
has visitors,-if he has been on
a visit or if he or she is going
on one, the neighbors are sure
to be interested in knowing
about it. Tell them through
the columns of the Ingersoll
Tribune. Every little item of
a local or persona] nature helps
just that much to make a still
better newspaper and getting
it $o the editor requires very
little exertion on the part of
anyone. That is how the
subscriber can help make The
Tribune more interesting, and
subscribers are invited to start
doing so at once.

(To Be Concluded)
I! HEALTH LEAGUE ofCANADA
PROTECTING INDUSTRIAL
WORKERS
In the belief that one of the major
factors causing Germany’s downfall
in the 1914-18 war was the break
down of health and morale on the
home front, The Health League of
Canada has announced through its
General Director, Dr. Gordon Bates,
that for the duration of the war the
main emphasis of the Health League’s
work will be directed toward pro
tecting the health of Industrial work
ers in Canada, the combating of ven
ereal disease, the spreading of nutri
tion teaching throughout Canada and
the prevention of diphtheria and the
national pasteurization of milk.
Already an "Industrial Committee”
has been formed to study problems
rising out of increased labor made
necessary by war orders. That Com
mittee is studying reports from Great;
Britain revealing that when workers
are engaged for such long hours as
70 to 72 hours a week, the product
ion of their work suffers. The Com
mittee wall also co-operate with em
ployers of labor in setting up health
standards for workers in industry.
Periodic examination of workers will
be one of the measures urged by the
League. Proper factory conditions,
with adequate facilities will also oc
cupy the attention of the Committee.
Officials of the Health League have
prepared a brief for members of the
Dominion Government urging in
creased support of the League's Do
minion-wide program of health edu
cation. The recommendation of the
Dominion Senate Committee on
Health urging an increased grant to
the League is already winning sup
port of government members. Many
members of the House have express
ed the belief that health education m
war-time is one of the most important
of all war-time tasks.
Measures for the prevention and
control of venereal disease are al
ready being adopted through efforts
launched by the League. Close co-op
eration is being maintained with Of
ficers Commanding military districts.
"The League’s film "Damaged Lives”
is being shown to various groups of
soldiers. Plans for public showing of
this film are now being discussed.
Working in close co-operation with
medical bodies and other nutritional
committees the Health League this
autumn will launch classes for the
teaching of nutrition to women in
the lower-earning brackets.
UNHEALTHY GERMANY
Doctor Martin Gumpert, formerly
head of the Berlin City’ Dispensary
fowthe Deformity diseases, in the
Reader’s Digest blasts the frequently-
repeated aigument, “But when all is
said and done, Hitler did transform
a sick and degenerating people into
a healthy and vigorous nation.”
The facts collected by Dr. Gum-
pert from the scientific publications
of Germany uncover the tragedy’ of a
nation which, he claims, is breaking
down physically.
“In Films, in illustrated magazines,
in the massed spectacles of party
conferences," says this former Ger
man Doctor, “youth occupies the
foreground.” Youth, according to
Nazi propaganda, forms the happy,
healthy enthusiastic children of the
Nordic super-race.* What are the facts? The entire
range of children’s infectious dis
eases, such as scarlet fever, spinal
meningitis and infantile paralysis has
increased remarkably. Diphtheria
mortality is now 4 times that of the
United States. This in a country
which gave diphtheria antitoxin to
the world. Rickets, a disease due to
deficiency in certain foods, has shown
an appalling increase. In Dortmund
55% of the children have rickets; In
Munich only thrqe and one-half per
cent are free from the symptoms.
In his roll call of the Hitler
Youth, 1938, Dr. Maerz writes: “The
registration of foot deformities show
ed that more than 70% of the youth
of bbth sexes had splayed, twisted or
flat feet.” The Labour Service re
ported that 90%. of its men suffered
from fallen arches and flat fleet:
A report published in a German
Medical Journal, 1939., referring to
the health of young people in the Un
iversities says: “A review of medical
reports of the last four years indi
cates a marked physical deteriora
tion of material. In the last year
the increase of heart complaints has
been most alarming. The number of
students not in condition to meet the
sports schedule has doubled in the
last two years.”
The Nazi regime has broken down
the laws forbidding . child labour.
While school attendance is compul
sory to the age of 14, this regula
tion is evaded by the allowance o f!
apprenticeship employment at 13, if
the child continues to attend school.
The former eight-hour day for
adults, has been replaced by the 10-
to-14-hour continuous shift. Thiscircumstance, with the decline inquality and quantity of food andclothing, has caused a notable siicin sickness amounting to 20.3 percent between 1933 and 1936. Among
German workers in 1936 the frequen
cy of sickness was three times as
high as among the whole American
people, infants, aged and invalids in
cluded. Since then there has been
another rise of 12.9 per cent.
This mean* that, in Germany in
1938, 200 million working days were
lost. Seven hundred thousand wor
kers are constantly out of action.
After Harvest Cultivation
Helps To Control Weeds
After-harvest cultivation is one of
'he most practical and most effective
methods of controlling weeds, states
John D. MacLeod, Crops, Seeds and
Weeds Branch, Ont. Department of
Agriculture. Plants draw heavily on
the food stored in the roots in order
to produce flower and seed and they
are at their weakest stage immedi
ately after the crop has been re
moved.
For the control of annual and win-
i ter annual weeds, shallow, thorough
cultivation is recommended by using
the plow, one-way disc, cultivator or
disc harrow. Seeds are brought near
the surface by this plan where they
germinate and may be killed by sub
sequent cultivation. An abundance
of moisture plus the methods outlined
above, will destroy millions of seed
ling plants of such weeds as Wild
Mustard, Stinkweed. Ragweed, Fox
tail, False Flax, Pigweed, Lambs
Quarters, Shepherds Purse, etc.
For the control of perennial weeds
having deep tap roots, such as Blad
der ampion and Chicory, deep plow
ing is recommended as soon as crop
has been removed, followed by culti
vation, using wide, sharp shares
which overlap. Thorough, frequent
cultivation noth ways is essential in
order to cut roots and bring them to
the surface where the sun will assist
in destroying them.
The “dry-cleaning” method has
proven the most effective in con
trolling weeds with creeping root
stocks. Included in this group are
four well known perennials: Field
Bindweed, Perennial Sow Thistle,
Twitch Grass and Canasa Thistle.

The disc plow has proven an effective I
implement in the control of these I
weeds. Deep plowing is needed for
Sow Thistle, Canada Thistle and
Bindweed, and shallow plowing for
Twitch Gras*. The field should be left
in this rough state as long as dry
weather prevails followed by fre
quent thorough cultivation. It shoud
be plowed late in the fall and left in
the rough state or ridged up for the
winter.
The use of the disc harrow is not
recommended for the control of per
ennial weeds.
An abundance of moisture will
prove favorable for the control of
annual weeds but will upset all plans
for the control of perennials, partic
ularly those with underground root
stocks. Two objectives should be kept
in mind when planning after-harvest
cultivation.
(1) Practise a green summer
fallow when fighting winter annuals,
mit seeds to germinate and destroy
them later by cultivation.
(2) Practise a black summer
fallow when fighting winter annuals,
biennials and perennials. Keep the
ground absolutely black until frosts
will make further cultivation imposs
ible.
After-harvest cultivation will con-
trol weeds and will mean a larger'
succeeding crop and greater returns.

The reason for the success of the
Zenda affair is the high calibre of
entertainment that is provided. The;
Zenda party really goes “big time”
by rounding up, through Bob. Wilson
of Toronto, outstanding professional
entertainers whose acts are known to
be of the type that appeal to audi
ences.
The patriotic note was evident
throughout this year’s program, and
R. A. McDougall of Woodstock, was
roundly applauded when he addressed
the gathering on behalf of the Ox
ford County war savings stamp com
mittee, pointing out the advantages
of purchasing these stamps, and the
need of every individual getting be
hind the government effort to pro
mote their sale.
Gay lights and decorations set off
the stage where the show was put
on, while out in front, an audience
that was estimated at close to 7,000,
filled the benches and strolled around
the spacious illuminated grounds.
The program included just about
every type of entertainment imagin
able. There was Frank Oldfield, Can
ada’s outstanding baritone, best
known perhaps, for his fine renditions
of Messiah roles. There was the
mirth-provoking Red Newman of
Dumbell fame, recently come out of
retirement to entertain Canadian
troops. Newman was among friends,
for featured on the program was Jack
Ayers’ all-star orchestra that has just:
returned from a Dominion tour of
the latest Dumbell show-, "Chin-Up.”
Ayers as a matter of fact, is original
musical director of Dumbell shows.
Then too, there were the famous
Al and Bob. Harvey, Canada’s own
comedians, who have given up a great
career in English music hallsA to en
tertain Canadian troops who are still
at home. Harmony songs and duets
were supplied by Harry Binns and
Dolly Armstrong. Duncan Cowan in
jected plenty of real Scottish humor
into the program. Bert Harvey and
LeRoy Kenney supplied comedy songs
and sketches, while Myers the Mys
tery Man bamboozled one and all
■with his exposition of the black art.
The items were all good. There
was a. roller skating team of Joan
and Jimmie doing all the accepted
tricks of the game and. lots that have
not yet been entered in the book;
there was a comedy team of Bob.
Wison and Jean Simpson who gave
a convincing demonstration of their
versatility; Jimmie Devon presented
a dance revue which included all
kinds of novelty numbers and cos
tumes; there was Canada’s only all
girl Kiltie Band.
And also there was a juvenile pro
gram earlier in the evening which in
included acrobatics, music, singing
and dancing. Before that, a ball
game between Tillsonburg and Kin-
tore, which was won by the former
in the last inning.
Things are never- dull at Zenda
Garden Party and this year's pro
gram was regarded by connoiseurs of
Zenda frolics to be the best party
that has yet been attempted.

South Africa’s WarEffort Is Speeding UpSouth African force* are now tak
ing an active part in fighting in
North Africa. Organisation of indus
tries on a war basis has made rapid
progress.
For the first time in South African
history a detachment of women vol
unteers has been mobilised. Ever
since the outbreak of war South Afri
can women have insistently demand
ed that they should be allowed to
play an active part in assisting the
country's wai effort. A large number
have now been called up for full time
service and will be engaged in clerical
and certain types of teennieal work.
Provisions of the Military Disci
pline Code apply to members of the
Women’s Auxiliary Air Force and the
Women’s Auxiliary Army Service
whether they servo inside or outside
South Africa.
The Government has decided to
commandeer all .303 and other rifles
and ammunition. As a result of this:
measure many thousands of rifles
have already been handed in at police
stations. It is provided, however,
that special exemptions may be
granted if a rifle is of exceptional
pecuniary or sentimental value, or
if the owner of a rifle satifies the
Magistrate of his district that it is
vitally necessary to have the rifle for
his and his family’s protection.
Another measure taken by the
Government tightens the ban on the
transfer of arms to South West
Africa. It is provided that no person
may import into, or transport
through, South West Africa any arms
or ammunition without first obtain
ing a special permit.
Four thousand natives are to be
recruited to assist in the task of
guarding vital places in the Union.
The natives will not, however, be
placed on guard over Europeans—
enemy subjects or otherwse. They
will be under European officers and
will be supported at their posts by
armed European detachments. Their
arms will be those normally carried
by native police.

August Crop Report
The following brief synopsis of
crop reports in general for Canada
was prepared by the Head Office of
the Bank of Montreal from reports
received from its branches during the
past week.
In the Prairie Provinces hot dry
weather has hastened maturity of the
grain and crop conditions on the
whole continue favorable. Harvesting
is well under way in Manitoba and
wheat cutting is fairly general over
most of Saskatchewan and has begun
in Southern .Alberta. Crops gener
ally in Saskatchewan have made good
progress, although the extreme heat
has caused some deterioration in
parts of the Northwestern and North
Central districts. In Manitoba and
Alberta crops continue promising.
Grasshoppers are causing slight dam
age at scattered points. Pastures are
in good condition. In the Province of
Quebec crops have continued to make
good progress under favorable grow
ing conditions. Grain, potatoes, roots,
tobacco, tomatoes, apples and small
fruits all give satisfactory promise,
but a short crop of fodder and can
ning corn is indicated. In Ontario av--
erage yields of grain appear assured
and corn, roots, tomatoes and small
fruits give good promise. For
peaches, pears, grapes and tobacco
below-average yields are forecast. In
the*Maritime Provinces crops have,
been growing well and good yields
of grain, potatoes, hay and roots
are expected, while of ‘apples a fair
crop of good quality is anticipated.
In British Columbia .showers have
benefited crops and, while grain
yields will be somewhat below aver
age, good yields of tomatoes, roots
tree fruits are in prospect, with the
Okanagan apple crop larger than last
year. |

^SNAPSHOT GUILD
TWO IN A PICTURE
This picture Is better because It has a natural "center of Interest”__the
glrl’a face. When you have two or more subjecta In a picture, make onemore prominent than the others.
TWO people often yield a batter
picture than just one—especial
ly in the summer time, when lots
of young romances are budding.
However, to make these picturesmost effective, there are a few
points you want to keep in mind.
The first point Is to make one of
your subjects more prominent than
the other. This keeps the interest
from.being divided, and it’s easyto do.
Just have one of the subjects do
ing something, while the other
watches. Then the attention willnaturally go to the subject who is
most active.
An interesting example of this
is shown in the picture above. The
- girl, dribbling sand from her hand,attracts your eye first Then, when
your glance strays to the boy’s,
face, you are immediately turned
back to the girl’s face, because beI:; looking in that direction.
There are some other good, instructive points in this picture.
You will notice that the girl’s head
is somewhat higher in the picture
space than the boy’s head;*also
her face Is more brightly lighted
by the sun, while his face is most
ly in shadow. All these help tomake the girl the center of interest.
Every plcture>ahould have such
a center of Interest No doubt youremember seeing group pictures,
such as a picture of a graduating
class, in which each face was as
prominent as the others. Pictures
of that type are of course veryuseful as records, but they do not
have the-pictorial charm of an In
formal arrangement—because the
"center of Interest” Is Jacking.
Naturally, when you’re picturing
a couple, or a larger group, you do
not want to slight anyone. How
ever, for best effect, you shouldmake one more prominent than
the others. Sometimes just a turn
of the subject’s head, or a slight
change of your own position, willdo it. And it’s a valuable point to
remember, because you’ll be tak
ing lots of these pictures during
the summer—they’re the type of
snapshot that adds interest to youralbum.
