SALFORD Y. P.
ANNUAL BANQUET
Over sixty Salford young people
and their guests sat down to the an
nual Young People’s Banquet in the
United Church, Salford, on Friday
evening. Owing to a break in the
hydro line caused by the collbion of
a cement mixer mounted on a trans
port truck with a cross wire on the
highway, the whole neighborhood
was plunged into darkness for two
hours which created considerable
confusion in setting the table for the
meal. The guests had to wait until
the hydro was turned on again.
Whetted appetites did ample justice
to the splendid meal President
Murray McBeth presided over a toast
list to which the young people rose
admirably. Latent talent was dis
covered and Severn) excelled them
selves in flights of oratory. The toast
to “The King”, was responded to by
singing the National Anthem; “The
Church,” was proposed by Miss Jean
Murray and responded to by Rev.
R. B. Cumming. “The Young People”,
was proposed by Miss Evelyn Peck
and responded to by Francis Way;
"Our Guests", was proposed by Miss
Ina Banbury and responded to by
Wilbur Leaman; "The Girls’*, was
proposed by Delbert Wilson and re
sponded to by Miss Norma Gregg;
“The Boys", was proposed by Miss
Margaret Mighton and responded to
by Ivan Baskett.
Greetings were brought from
neighboring young people’s organiz
ations: Salford Baptist, by Miss
Verna Bratt; Mount Elgin, by Leotta
Hartnett; West Oxford, by Murray’
Budd; Ingersoll, by Allin Deacon;
Folden’s, by Blanche Wiseman.
Fred Henry sang soprano solos, ac
companied by Mrs. H. P. Hughes;
Mrs, O. B. SJoffat contributed accept
able piano numbers; suitable chor
uses were interspersed throughout
the evening, adding spice to a splen
did program. The address of the
evening was given by Miss Dolly
Broad of Sprinfcford, who was intro
duced by Miss Zerefa Smith of Mill
er's Corners. Miss Broad took all to
the Calgary Young People’s National
Convention and relived with all the
wonderful trip to the coast illustrated
by delineascopic pictures. Miss Freida
Hooper read the Journal, an intim
ate cross-section of the faults and
foibles of the unsuspecting innocents
abroad, which was much enjoyed.
Percy-Gill tendered a worthy appre
ciation to all who had contributed in
any way to make this banquet in
tiie Jubilee year of the church a fit
ting success with all of the other
celebrations.
The banquet was brought to a
close by the singing of “O Canada”,
and the benediction by the pastor.
THE INGERSOLL TRIBUNE, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 31, 1940Y’SMEN ENTERTAINLADIES AT FOLDEN’S
Tuesday evening, members and
* friends of ths Y’smen’s Club, journ-
L eyed to Folden’s where the club held
f their Ladies’ Night program. Hera a
chicken dinner was served in the
j hall of the United Church. This was
t the first meeting conducted by the‘ new president, Robert Wark, and
w m voted a total success.’ “Y” director Laurie Sommer of the
Brantford Training Centre, directed
the sing song. The toast to the
ladies was proposed by Robert Wal
ton, who quoted several pieces of
poetry and epigrams, applying most
aptly and wittily. Mrs. R. Wark re
sponded with fitting words.
Y’smen. Capt. C. D. Daniel and L.
Sommer who are now on active ser
vice, were presented with leather
writing cases by Gordon Waters, on
behalf of the chib. Dr. Rag. Rogers
expressed the feelings of the mem
bers at the loss of these two charter
members, who had been most active
in the founding of the club.
Dr. J. Rowsom introduced the'
speaker of the evening, the Rev. G.
G. Gaynor of Chalmer's Church,
Woodstock. Mr. Gaynor gave a very
interesting and instructive address
on Hitler and the German people. Ho i
discussed the reasons for the present
conflict, that it was chiefly due to the
uniting of two like mentally-ill
groups, Hitler and the German
people. He illustrated his point by
describing Hitler’s background; the
fact that his father was a drunkard
of low morals, who bullied and brow
beat Hitler when a child. This kind
led a flame of hatred and revenge
in Hitler’s heart, who is now giving:
vent to this desire for authority over
all His mother, whom he dearly
loved, led him to believe that he was
to fill a great place in history and he
has grown up with this lust of power
which has made him mentally ilk
The German people feel the same
way as a result of the Versailles
Treaty. In one way it was too sev
ere in its terms, as it did not allow
the German people to come back
and express eheir rights on a level ,
with other nations. On the other
band it was too easy as the people
were not properly policed. Thus the 1
German people felt they were “sold
out” by the authorities and would
some day get even for this. For this
reason they have developed the
same state of mind as Hitler and
have been sacrificing everything to
prepare for this “day of reckoning.” i
As this time Hitler gathered together ,
all people of like mind and told them
he would lead them out of their sit- '
nation, bo he has gathered about
him all cruel and ruthless men who ,
will follow him and he has des- .
troyed all those who are not in :
agreement with him or who do not '
please his fancy.
The speaker said we must and will
win the war, but that our task comes
after the war—the establishment of .
a sound, sane and lasting peace,
where all mankind can live at peace
with one another. He stated that Ger- (many and every other nation will (have to comeback and take a place
in the world, as no just peace caff be
founded on hatred, but must be foun- ;
ded on the ideals of Christian
brotherhood.
The appreciation of the club was
extended to Mr. Gaynor by Y'sman
James Revell, who capably express
ed their thanks. Joe Foster thanked
the ladies of Folden’s for their much-
enjoyed dinner, to which Mrs. Lu Wil
son replied.
Following the meeting, several
Y’smen and ladies returned to Ing
ersoll to serenade Y’sman Bert Carr
and his bride who had just returned
from their wedding trip. As they had
been unable to attend the chicken
dinner, they were made the recip
ients of one chicken which had been
reserved for them. 1- *

Friday evening, October 25th, will
be a memorable one for the congre
gation of St Janes' Anglican
Church, when the parish hall wae
filled for the burning of the bank
notes, wiping off the church indebted-
■ new to the bank. A special appeal,
was made at the Harvest Thanksgiv
ing for contributions, and the sum
asked for had been considerably over
subscribed in cash and pledges, which
indeed made the occasion one of
giving thanks and rejoicing, doubly
so, when one considers the many ap
peals made at this time as was voiced
in the words expressed ‘by the rector,

Mr. Horry Allen, in giving the of
ficial welcome to the large gathering,
paid tribute to the unceasing efforts
of the rector, as did the secretary
treasurer, A.' E. Izzard, who gave a
concise resume of the financial stand
ing of the parish. Mr. E. A. Wilson
in speaking a few words, in which
he voiced the thought that it was
evident that the people of St, James*
must have a genuine 16ve for their,
church or they would not have given
so generously at such a time when
so many contributions are asked for,
also appealed for the same valiant
support and encouragement to their
rector, by an increased church atten
dance. C. W. Riley in addressing the
gathering, brought to mind the fact
that all should appreciate the privil
ege of being in a country where we
could attend divine worship without
fear of bombs and destruction, such
as the people of the homeland are
undergoing, and urged his hearers to
give every tangible support to their
rector, who is working so unceasingly
for the church and his people.
Rev. Mr. Merifield expressed his
thanks and appreciation to all those
who had assisted on the program,
and the ladies of, the congregation
who later served delicious refresh
ments. He also commended Mr.
George Tarrant ' for his splendid
work during the special campaign.
A real get-together, during which
refreshments were served by the
ladies of the congregation, assisted
by the Girl Guides, was then enjoyed,
after which square dancing was in
dulged in, under the direction of Mr.

Kestie's Garage, Phone 179.
At the regular meeting of the
Ingersoll Kiwanis Club, held at the
Ingersoll Inn last Thursday evening,
the speaker was Rev. F. B. Clausen,
president of Waterloo College. His
talk, entitled, “A five point plan for
satsifactory living," was exception
ally fine and was greatly enjoyed by
the large number present.
The speaker, introduced by Major
J. C. Herbert^ centered his remarks
around the word, “Quest,” and dealt
with life as it should be lived. The
formula of good living the speaker
said, might be grouped around the
word “quest", to seek for or to look
into or to inquire, and that is the
first point of the five-point plan.
This inquiry is the result of an at
titude of awareness, of realization.
Some people may think that this is
self-evident, but such is not the case,
said Dr. Clausen. He reminded his
hearers that many with seeing eyes
do not see, and many with hearing
ears do not hear. A mind that is
always curious is worth while, and
the “whys” of childhood should not
be discouraged. This has been the
spur which have given us the devel
opment we have today. The speaker
told his hearers that Columbus didn’t
know where he was going when he
started out, he didn’t know where he
was when he got there and he didn’t
know where he had been when he
got back. If we are not curious any
more, then we are “has-beens.”
Then concentration must begin,
and in this, man finds pleasure in his
work- The world is divided into two
classes of people, the speaker said,
those who call themselves realists
and who live for material things
alone and those who are idealists,
those who appreciate the fact that
man needs material things in order
to live, but realizes at the same time
that these things do not give genu
ine satisfaction and that it b the
imponderable- things that really, give
tiie most satisfaction without which
a man may be gutted and surfeitted
with the things of the world and yet
feel frustrated. And the speaker
added, unfortunately there were
many. such.
“We’re facing frustration to-day,
men," said Ih> Clausen. “If we have
given our lives simply to the accumu
lation of the material tilings of life,
we are going to find ourselves sitting
on the cold hearthstone. Remember,
‘What shall a man be profitted if he
gain the whole world and lose his
soul?’ A Man who knew left us that
thought
And let us remember too, that in
connection with this war, we realise
that it cannot be a war for territorial
or material conquests, but a 'war for
the .soul of empire and for the soul
of mankind.”
Kiwanian F- Earl Johnson express
ed to Dr. Clausen the thanks of the
club.

THURSDAY, OCTOBER 31st, 1940
Home Improvement Plan Will
Be Discontinued
Hon. J. L. Haley, Minister of Finance announced
recently that Home Improvement Plan loans made
after October 31st, 1940, by approved lending insti
tutions would not be accepted for guarantee by the
Dominion under the Home Improvement Loans Guar
antee flcL
In accordance with the terms of that statute the
maximum amount of loans which the Minister of Fin
ance is authorised to guarantee is $50,000,000 and it
is believed that by the end of the present month the
total of loans made will closely approach that amount
In view of the necessity of conserving the Dominion's
financial resources and because of the ever expanding
demands of the war programme upon the country's
labour supply, the Minister has decided not to ask
Parliament for an amendment to the Act increasing
the amount of loans subject to Dominion guarantee.
The Home Improvement Plan, which will now be
discontinued, was started in November, 1936, on the
recommendation of the National Employment Com
mission. It was designed as a measure to relieve un
employment, particularly in the depressed building
industries.
“The Home Improvement Plan,” said Mr. Ilsley,
“has had a striking success. It was one of the most
constructive measures taken to solve the unemploy
ment problem. Up to September 30th. 1940, loans to
a total amount of $48,181,'525 had been made, and
as at that date losses paid amounted to less than U
of 1% of the total loans made, while 62.14% of the
amount of money loaned had been repaid by bor
rowers.
“The Plan, however, has served its purpose, and
what the country is now about to face is not the
need to create employment, but rather the necessity
of mobilizing all available supplies of labour, and
particularly skilled labour, to meet the imperative
demands of the war programme. As the large num
ber of new industri.il plants being constructed by
the Departments of Munitions and Supply are com
pleted, wc shall need not only to utilize previously
unemployed labour, both male and female, but also
to draw increasingly upon labour now employed in
the ordinary peace-time industries.
“It is realized that there may still be some demand
for loans for the repair and modernization of exist
ing homes, and perhaps particularly for the conver
sion of large single family dwellings into two or
more apartment units, but it is believed that the
experience of the private lending institutions with
Home Improvement Ioans has been so satisfactory
that they will be willing to take care of any cases of
real necessity that may arise without the aid of a
Dominion guarantee. If the principles of the Home
Improvement Plan are followed, namely that loans
are made for produetvie purposes subject to monthly
amortization over a reasonable period of time, with
the monthly payment for interest and principal being
comfortably within the capacity of the individual
borrower, any losses sustained should be of insignifi
cant proportions.
Plastic Planes
When about six years ago chemistry introduced
transparent plastics for aircraft production, there
appeared vast new possibilities in the field of aircraft
design. But fighting today with the air force these
modern materials are destined to live and fly another
day and give some idea of what aeroplanes of 1944
may be like in the new Aerial Age, writes G. H.
Mosher in the October issue of C-I-L OvaL
Designers seized upon thia crystal clear substance,
which had the translucent properties of glass but was
shatterproof and could be molded under heat treat-'
ment to any required curvature. With it they
achieved advanced streamlining and great increases
in speed. As war aircraft production became impera
tive and more widespread, transparent plastics were
used for gun turrets, bomb-aimers^Arindows and win
dowscreens on bombers and fighters. For this pur
pose it left nothing to.be desired, for it would not
shatter under the impact of bullets, it was light in
weight, gave maximum visibility to the air crew,
and could be shaped to provide" the least wind-r&iist-
ance at high speeds, according to the article. With
transparent plastics the square corners were knocked
off the aircraft.
Aircraft in 1940 are still expensive hand-made
machines, built up by the careful assembly of some
times as many as 50,000 individual parts. A method
of mass production, which will simplify the con
struction and reduce the price, of a private light aero
plane to something comparable with what is paid for
automobiles today, if what is-required-to bring flying
within the reach of the average- man. That such .
cheap maas-production will be possible within .the
next year or two is practically a certainty—thanks
again to prastica, concludes Mr. Mosher.

in Britain, but he still rereives the allegiance of the
free Norwegian Moraantik Marine.
The position of the French General, Charles de
Gaulle, is different, but he commands French sailors
and soldierw who are determined to fight on for the
liberation of France.
It is no mean fighting force which these ruler*
control, but their presence under their own national
leader* has a -ymbolic value transcending the
strength of their arm*. The people* whose territory
the Nazis have occupied have not surrendered, and
their will is still represented in leaders who refuse to
relinquish hope.
Nor is their persistence cheering only to the
people who are in subjection to Germany; it is en
couraging also to the people of Brtiain, who arc for-
tified in the knowledge that their goal is also the
goal of Poland, Czechoslovakia, Norway, the Nether
lands, and France, to which must be added Denmark
and Belgium.

BRITAIN DELIVERS THE RAYON
Soaring Exports From Lancashire
Milk
In the great cotton and rayon
centres of Lancashire, the printers
of cotton piece goods ar.- dealing
with 620,000,000 square yards of
cloth a year; with 65,000,000 square
yards of rayon cloth; with 44,000,000
yards of mixture fabrics—a total of
710,000,000 square yards. The tex
tile finishing trades alone are in
fact employing no fewer than 100,-
000 people.
The Colour Style and Design
Centre now established here in Man
chester will be of special assistance
in maintaining the new achievements
of the rayon industry. Rayon prints
are being shown to-day which equal
the colouring and design that made
the prints of Hungary famous. Lan
cashire is determined to develop
rayon prints of the type once sup
plied by that country and by Italy
to South Africa and South America
in particular.
During the first August of the war
Great Britain was already exporting
£818,913 worth of silk and artificial
silk yarns and manufactures, or
£290,140 worth more of them than
during the last August of peace'
time.
Reports received here from every
market state that these goods have
been arriving with clockwork regu
larity. The British rayon industry is
now placidly preparing to develop
the volume and the variety of these
products.

ONE HUNDRED PAINT
MAKERS
Bring £5,000,000 To Britain's
War Chest
More than one hundred British
paint manufacturers* continue to
ship to countries overseas, paints,
varnishes and enamels to the value
of £5,000,000 a year.
They have succeeded in sending
abroad during the first half of this
year more exports than in peace
time not only in value but in quan
tity.
The increase has been achieved in
spite of the disappearance of 15 per
cenL of the markets in Scandinavia
and Holland.
Paints, varnishes, enamels, mixed
paints distempers, cellulose lacquer,
bituminous compositions, insulating
varnishes and dry colours, anything
and everything which transforms
and preserves every manner of ob
ject, large or small, is being pro
duced in steadily increasing quanti
ties despite war.
One of the big developments of
recent years, cellulose lacquers, par
ticularly for motorcar finishes, are
in great demand, as are paints, varn
ishes and lacquers made with syn
thetic resin to resist tropical condi
tions.
WORLD'S WORST WHEAT
SCOURGE
British Scientist Co-operates With
Canadian Farmers
“Take-all”, the wheat disease
caused by tho fungus ophiobolus
graminis which destroyii roots may
soon disappear from tho world's
great wheat-growing zones.
Such is the hope of the British
scientist, Dr. S. D. Garrett*, mycolo
gist. Dr. Garrett has spent twelve
years in search of the course and
cure of the disease.
Take-all appears in many parte of
the world, Liking every year n ron-
Hderable toll of the world wheat
crop: in the Argentine and Uruguay,
for example, it has destroyed 25
per cenL of all the crops. It appears
in South Africa, Kenya, U.S.A.,
Australia, Canada and Japan. .
When Dr. Gorrc-tt went to Aus
tralia some years ago to study the
disease in the fiimoT. laborawry of
Adelaide University he read of a
fanner who, sixty yearn ago, had
claaned his own wheatfidds of th*•courge by preparing a very firmseed-bed. His neigMaours took likesteps.“Loom seed-bed bring* taka-all,”became a local saying.The practical farmer discovered
“how": Science, sixty years after,
now tells “why”, supplementing it*
explanation with further preventive
means. The fungus of Take-all can
only propagate in soil well supplied
with oxygen, so, by making bis soil
firm, the grower starves the disease
out, A firm seed-bed, scientific ro
tation (wheat: non-eereab, oat*) no
lime, liberal manuring—these are the
control measure* which provide the
wheat growers of the world1 with a
remedy against their traditional
enemy.
So eager is Dr. Garrett to assist
farmer* that he will diagnose for
them free of all charge, specimens
of wheat submitted to his laboratory.

FIVE CONTINENTS
Baying British Trolley Buses
A fleet of fourteen trolley buses
is now being constructed in Britain
for Port of Spain, Trinidad, by
builders who have already supplied
trolley buses for five continents,
notably South America, South Afri
ca and New Zealand to face any
weather from Mvere frosts to trop
ical heat
The Trinidad fleet is being speci
ally adapted against the floodwater
which swirl* down the streets from
violent rainstorms.
A large fleet of buses of the same
type is now running in Rangoon and
Penang where conditions are unusu
ally trying, necessitating great care
in the choice of materials, especially
insulation.
Enlarge Sheep Flock*
To Meet War Need*
Stressing the responsibility of far
mers in building up their sheep flocks
to meet the needs of the country in
war time, Dr. iE.'S. Archibald, Dir
ector Dominion Experimental Farm
Service, addressed the Ottawa Valley
Sheep Breeders’ Association at the
opening of the third annual sale of
rams and selected breeding ewes at
the Central Experimental Farm, Ot
tawa, recently. Dr. Archibald said
the sheep breeders had every reason
to be confident in building up the
sheep industry, because Canada at
present was a heavy importer of
wool and lamb. He spoke of the responsibility of tho sheep fanners1
towards meeting the war time needs
for Eastern one-half breed type
wool which is in the greatest demand
for war purposes.
Although the situation was not
urgent at present with regard to
meat supplies, said Dr. Archibald,
all available meat would be required
when Great Britain could import in
larger quantities.. The apparent
trend of thought in Canadian, town?
and cites was illustrated by the in
creasing number of eity. people who
were buying farms and live stock as
a sound investmenL Surely if the
urban population had confidence in
farming, fanners themselves should
be keener than ever to improve both
the soil and their live stock. The best
way to improve their live stock was
through the use of good sires.
About 150 district fanners at
tended the sale at the Central Ex-
perimntal Farm and purchased about
90 rams and 60 ewes. All the rams
entered in. the sale were government
graded. Ram prices ran from $15
each to a top of $32 and the ewes
were sold at prices ranging from $1U
to $18.

Review Supplies of
Food In Storage
The problem of adequate food sup
plies is a subject widely discussed;
but Canada has plenty of food. A re
view of the storage stocks of foods
in Canada by the 'Economies Divis
ion, Dominion Department of Agri
culture, shows that for all important
foodstuffs, except cheese, tho sup
plies in September, 1940, were well
above those of the same month of
1939. Stocks of all product* except
cheese and eggs are reported to be
higher than the ten year average for
the same month.
The most important foodstuff
held in large volume is wheat and
the stocks of wheat in store were
reported on September 20, 1940, at
358 million bushels compared with
255 million bushels for the corres
ponding date of 1939.' In addition
to the stocks in store, there is a large
part of the 1940 wheat crop re
maining on farms.
In meat product* stocks of both
beef and pork on September 1,
1940, were above those of the simi
lar date of 1939. The increase in
beef stocks was slight but in the case
of pork there were 13 million
pounds more on hand than a year
ago. However, the stocks of pork in
Canada have been declining since the
peak was reached in June of this
year.
Normally stocks of butter, cheese
and eggs are built up during the
summer months of high production.
In 1940 the-accumulation of stocks
of cheese and eggs has been offset
to some extent by heavy exports to
the United Kingdom with the result
that stocks on September 1, 1940,.
were somewhat below the usual
amount* at that date.
Storage -tacks of fowinutfs are
accumulated during periods of heavy
production—then come on the mar
ket when production is low. The
stack position may have a decided
effect on prices if holdings become
abnormally high" or abnormally low
at any time.
Jasper Park Establishes
Record For Visitors
An all-time record was established
this year by visitors to Jasper Na
tional Park for the six months
ending September 30th, accord
ing to the Tourist and Convention
Bureau of the Canadian National
Railways. Persons visiting this spac
ious park totalled 87,204, an increase
of more than 75%, or 65,524 visit
ors, over the corresponding period of
last year. i
Jasper Park Lodge, the pictur
esque summer resort in this heart of
the Canadian Rockies, also enter
tained a record number of visitors,
while the Totem Pole Golf tourna
ment played over the Lodge course,
attracted the largest entry yet
recorded.
The lesson was on the power and
effect of the wind. “As I was going
to school today,” said the very pret
ty teacher, “the bus door opened,
and something came softly and kiss
ed me-on the cheek. * Can you tell
me what it waa?”
“The conductor!” camo the
prompt and unanimous reply.

Royal Canadian Air Force pilots,
Air Obaerven and Air Gunners have
a warm regard for the highly skilled
Aero Engine Mechanics of the R..C.
A.F., who keep the aeroplanes ser
viceable. Their work is unspectacu
lar. but just as important in its way, !
as the work of the trained men whofly the planes. A crew charged with I
taking a bomber 400 miles out over
the Atlantic on convoy patrol, for
instance, must be sure that the en
gines will maintain a steady, rhyth
mic roar and not falter and fall into
aliened when a landing field is over
(he horizon.
The powerful engines of R.C.A.F.
receive an the care and attention of
thoroughbred race horses. Engines
are inspected before and after flight,
and any worn parts immediately re
placed. Valve clearances are care
fully checked and everything poss
ible done to keep the engines and
controls in perfect condition at all
times. At regular intervals of 300 or
400 flying hours, the engines are tem
porarily removed from service for a
complete overhaul. The engines are
taken apart,, cleaned, and all parts
minutely inspected for flaws and
for signs of wear. Any worn parts
are replaced and- the engines are re
assembled and tested on a test stand
before being placed back on their
mountings in the aircraft.
The modern aircraft engines are
complicated pieces of machinery,
and their care and maintenance re
quire careful training out at the R.C.
AJ. Technical Training School at'
St Thomas, Ont, which has turned
out some 1,500 mechanics of all
types so> far and is turning out 150
more each week.
The aero engine mechanics course
lasts about 18 weeks and provides a
practical education in the craft for
Canadian boys, many of whom come
from garages and technical schools
all over the country, so that they !
have a trade to work at when the war !
is over.

The distinctive badge of a quali
fied Air Observer of the Royal Can
adian Air Force was presented to a
group of young Canadians on Oct
24, by James S. Duncan, Acting Dep
uty Minister of National Defence
for Air, at a brief ceremony at the
Trenton, Ontario training centre of
the R.C.A.F.
The recipients of the gold-threaded
badge bearing the capital “0 ” for
observer and the single wing denot
ing flying duty were the first air
crew graduates under the British
Commonwealth Air Training Plan.
Other groups of air crew compon
ents, pilots and Wireless Operator
Air Gunners, will complete their
training within the next few weeks
and will be ready for the call of ac
tive service overseas with the RoyalAir Force.
Thousands of men have already
been trained for the ever-expanding
system of schools of the British
Commonwealth Air Training Plan.
Several hundred have been despatch
ed overseas for 'technical services on
the ground wpth the RAF. The maj
ority, however, have been turned
back into the Plan as instructors,
administrative staff and maintenance
personnel to aid in the training of
thousands of young men from Can
ada, the United Kingdom, Newfound
land, Au-traliaj and New Zealand
who will follow them through the
schools.
The Air Observers who received
the congratulations of Mr. Duncan
recently, constitute the first gradua
ting class of No. 1 Air Navigation
Sclhool, now at Trenton, hut mhedu-
led to move at the end of the month
to a new field at Rivers, Man. They
began their training last spring.
Drawn from all over Canada, they,
were the “pioneers” of air crew stu
dents in the early stages of the plan.
With their contemporaries among the
Pilots and Wireless Operator Air
Gunners due to graduate shortly,
they spent a month at No. 1 Man
ning Depot at Toronto and then an
other month at No. 1 Initial Training
^School at the Old Eglinton Hunt
Club at Toronto.
At the Manning Depot they re
ceived their uniforms and an intro
duction to drill and Air Force life.
At the Initial Training School they
were initiated into the theory of
flight, the functions of air force,
and attended lectures and practical
instruction periods in the sciences of
air warfare.'
No. 1 Air Observers Schools at.
Malton, Ont, brought them their
first taste of flying in the R-C-AF*.
The course of 12 weeks of instruct

The appointment of Mr. James C.
MacGregor as manager of the Metro*
politan Life Insurance Company in:
the Brantford district is announced
by' the Canadian Head Office in
Ottawa.
Mr. MacGregor is well qualified by
experience and training to represent
the company and to give good service
and life insurance counsel to the
many policy holders of the Metro
politan here. Joining the company in
1931 as an agent in the Toronto dis
trict, he was made an assistant man
ager in the same district two years
later. He served in this position until
July, 1936, when he was made field
training instructor for the Canadian
territory. In 1939 he became asso
ciated with the manager at the Wind
sor district, and his success in that
capacity led to his appointment as
manager at Brantford. Mr. Mac
Gregor is married and has one child.
Mr. MacGregor met the twenty-
four representatives of the company
in this district at a meeting last
week and discussed plans for the
coming months. Communities com
prising the Brantford district are:

Gardner, 71, died Monday night in
Woodstock General Hospital, follow
ing a brief illness.
On completing school Mr. Gardner
entered the hardware business then
conducted by his father, continuing
in it until he disposed of it on his
retirement some fifteen years ago.
He was a life-long member of Knox
Presbyterian Church and for many
years a member o f its board of
governors.
Surviving are his widow, one

The student navigators set courses
for their seasoned pilots to follow

took aerial photographs, learned to

Jarvis, Ont, on the shore of Lake

The Air Training Plan has devel
oped rapidly in 26 weeks since these
Air Observers left the Manning De
pot and entered the Initial Training
School. More than a score of schools
have been added to the 'production
line." Three or more Manning De

Air Observers Schools. The size of

Information.
Six thousand young men, aged 21
and 22, will receive notices within
two or throe days to report to quali
fied doctors for medical examinations
prior to going to camp for the second
thirty-day training period, R. X. Ir
win, Reg? 4rar wnd Secretary of Di
vision "B”, National War Services
Board, announced yesterday.
Final instructions have not as yet
been received from the Ottawa head
quarters, he said, but added that the
notices would have to be sent out by
Saturday or Monday in order that all
the young men would have ample
time to make the necessary arrangements.
Of the 6,000 to be notified, only
‘4,000 will be sent notices to report
to one of the training centres situa
ted at Long Branch, Newmarket,
Brantford and North Bay.
In this group, farmers, exempted
from the first group because of their
seasonal occupation, will be called.
Mr. Irwin explained that in order
to complete the training of those en
gaged in farming, all farmers be
tween the ages of 21 and 24 would
be called before spring planting be
gins.
Lumbermen, whose busy season is
just beginning and fisherman and
lake shipping men, whose busy sea
son is not yet ended, will not be
called upon for training until a later
date. The fishermen and shipping
men will likely be included in the
third group, scheduled to go to
camp soon after the new year.
The ranks of the first batch of
trainees, who will complete their
training Nov. 7, have been thinned
considerably since the camps opened,
Mr. Irwin revealed. Most have joined
either Canadian Active Service
Force, or the Royal Canadian Air
Force, Mr. Irwin said.
The first group of recruits has
accomplished far more than was ex
pected, he said, when questioned
concerning the prospect of a longer
training period. He added there was
no doubt that the officers in charge
considered a longer training period
would be advisable. ,
He declared that for the most part
the young recruits, only q few of
whom had had previous experience
before going to camp, were ready
and willing to carry out orders, and
with this ypirit uppermost they have
“accomplished wonders in the short
time they have been at camp."

The following is a statement made
by the Prime Minister, Rt. Hon. W.
L. Mackenzie King, on October 28th,
to members of the War Savings
Committee at Ottawx Members of
the committee were present from
Vancouver, Calgary, Regina, Winni-
. peg, Toronto, Montreal, Saint John,
Halifax and Charlottetown:
“On behalf of the Government, I
would like to express our apprecia
tion of the important voluntary work
being carried out by the National
War Savings Committee. No single
phase of the war effort on the home
front, is as many sided in its impli
cations and possible effects. It is
at once a balance wheel in the na
tional economy, and an important
source of money to be converted into
the weapons of war.
War Savings in a democracy can
produce in voluntary fashion what
the totalitarian states can do only
under the most rigorous pressure
and controls. By regular investment
in War Savings Certificates, our
people can make an important con
tribution to the war program; they
can avoid inflationary price move
ments; and they can build a reserve
of purchasing power to tide them
over the possible rainy days of post
war adjustment.
Canadians are eager to share in a
vigorous prosecution of the cause of
winning the war. As the government
views your services, I would say
that the National Chairman of the
War Savings Committee, and each,
of the nine Provincial Chairmen,
have undertaken a high mission that
can provide an avenue of participa
tion for every man, woman and child,
and also save Canada frost many of
the scars of war.
We all know that war involves
sacrifices that must be faced and
borne by all. Our men and women
have answered the call to the colours,
and no words can adequately des
cribe the sacrifice they are prepared
to make. At home our sacrifices take
a material form.
War Savings actually mean intelli
gent management of one’s own
affairs in relation to the war effort.
Saving alone is not enough—to, have
its maximum effectiveness it must
be wisely directed savings. We
must save on products and services
which can be directely diverted to
war purposes. Many things which are
not luxuries in the usual sense of
the word are luxuries now if we are
to be honest and thorough in our
determination to put first the win
ning of the war. For example, a
dollar spent on imports, even of
ordinary necessities, from non-Em-
pire countries, may be just one dol
lar less available for imports of war
necessities from such countries. Dol
lars spent on products other than
those wholly essential which require
a large amount of skilled mechanical
labour reduces the amount of labour,
available for the production of aero
planes, tanks, motor transport, and
other war essentials.
It is the stern responsibility of
every Canadian to consider whether
or not his spending hampers the
effort to equip our soldiers, sailors
and airmen with the beet and most
complete equipment. In other words,
our private buying should not be
competing with the Department of
Munitions and Supply for products
that involve foreign exchange or
construction and mechanical labour.
War-Savings Certificates provide
a medium through which.Canadians
can systematically invert a part of
current income in a storehouse of
purchasing power to he used in later
.years. Much of the agony of the ad
justment from -wartime to peacetime
pursuits uf.the nation will be avoided
if our people have saved regularly
while all are busy producing the
sinews of war.
You, the members of the War
Savings Committee, will do a fine
service if you carry this message
back to the people of your respective
provinces. Spend wisely, always with
a thought for tbs war effort; save
regularly/ with a thought for the'
future; join Canada’s army of regu
lar War Savers. This army of War
Savers will h^-tp effectively to pro
tect the future of this country when
peace returns.’*

(To be con tinned)
HAIR DYE DANG1 ROVNA case tried before Mr. JusticeStable at the Manchester Assisesillustrates the danger from certain
hair dyes. A gentleman waa accus
tomed to have his hair dyed at the
shop of a lady hairdresser and one
day she told him of a new dye
called “melereon” said by the accom
panying advertisement to be effect
ive but of which «he disclaimed any
experience. He agreed to its use
and contracted a severe dermatitis.
The dye consisted of a powder and
a fixative lotion; the latter contained
10'/' of chromic acid instead of the
4% it should have contained.
The customer sued the hairdresser,
the distributors and the manufactur
ers. The learned judge decided that
the customer had a valid ease against
Che hairdresser, even though she did
not recommend the dye and appar
ently had applied it carefully and
according directions. He held
that where there is an agreement to
pay partly for a service and partly
for a supply of goods, there is an
implied warranty that the goods
shall be fit for the purpose for
which they are intended."
To succeed against the distribut
ors, his Lordship said, the customer
had to prove carelessness, the exist
ence of a duty and breach of that
duty. He was satisfied that the dis
tributors had been careless. They
were dealing with a manufacturer
whom they hardjy knew and the stip
ulation for 4 per cent of chromic
acid was only verbal. They never
tested the dye and lastly they describ
ed it as harmless. Besides, the distri
butors owed a duty to the customer.
Although the initial mistake was
made by the manufacturers, the neg
ligence of the distributors did the
damage, for they both neglected to
apply tests and they represented that
their hair dye, unlike every other,
was not dangerous. It was danger
ous and the distributors fell under
the principle that a person who puts
abroad a dangerous article mast be
unusually careful.
The dye was like a wolf in sheep's
clothing or a sheep which the distri
butors had made as dangerous as a
wolf. His Lordship gave damages
against both the hair dresser and the
distributors. He did not consider
the claim again* the manufacturers
because they had gone into liquida
tion and could not be found. Ail «f
which urges one to recommend that
it is safer for the grey-headed old
beau to use soap and warm water
and leave dangerous dyes alone, be
cause after all, what handsome lady
is deceived by a dyed head of hair?
Too vigorous indulgence In ath
letics, too many parties, continued
late hours, insufficient rest and sleep
and repeated spells of sickness all
contribute to a weakening of the re
sistance of the human body and
assist in the spread of tuberculosis.
This statement was made to-day
by Dr. Gordon Jackson, Medical Of
ficer of Health for Toronto, whose
department is conducting 'one of the
most extensive and comprehensive
surveys ever held to discover the in
cidence of tuberculosis among pupils
of high school age. The survey is
being made in a number of secon
dary rchools in Toronto.
“Only the tubercle bacilli can
cause tuberculosis,” said Dr. Jack-
son. "But overwork, strain, dissipa
tion, hard times, improper food, dis
couragement and similar burdens are
the fifth columnists which prepare
the way and make the path easy fot:
It
"Of all the deaths from tubercul
osis which occurred in Toronto last
year, in the age group 15 to 29
years, 86 par cent were those of fe
males and only 15 per cent *ere
males. It may he noted that in the
accepted high school group, 15 to 19
years, 35 per cent’ were those of fe
males and only 15 per cent were-
males. It may be noted that in the
accepted high school group, 15 to 19
years, the deaths were 2% times
greater in girls than in boys, and
that these younger ago groups sup
plied aproximately 25 per cent of the
total deaths for the city of Toronto."
Dr. Jackson was naked to predict
bow many of the pupils examined in
the present survey would have a pos
itive reaction. "Said he: "We don’t
know. It shouldn’t be more than 20
per cent of those tested; it probably
won’t be less than 10 per cent In
1000 pupils that would mean 100 re
actions will be found.
PREVENTION OF THROAT
INFECTION
Thymol, a substance allied to
hepnol (carbolic),'hut with 25 times
the antiseptic strength of the latter,
is strongly advocated as a gargle and
mouth wa*h in the prevention- of raw
sore throats and of tartar of the
teeth in persons subject to these
ailments.
In every month left undisturbed

ing sleep— a varying amount of
POOMIER bodies and improved riding qualitiesare combined with smart new appearance in
the new Ford cars for 1941. Presented by theCanadian Ford Company in two lines, the De Luxeand the Super De Luxe Fords are built with alonger wheelbase to provide for the longer and
broader bodies. Running boards are partially,concealed. Seating widths have been increased asmuch as seven inches and there is greater shoulderand headroom, (left). Much better vision is
afforded both driver and passengers as glassareas have been substantially increased, up to33 per cent increase in coupes. Front ends are re-■tyled as shown in the Super De Luxe Fordor above.
white substance grows on the tongue
and other mouth surfaces and accum
ulates around the teeth. This con
sists of a threadlike plant called lep-
Lothrix, in the meshes’of which may
be numerous germs and cells. This
plant, if not removed, will grow rap
idly and form a hard tarter on the
teeth which can be removed only by
a dentist’s sharp instrument Such
removal is necessary otherwise the
teeth and gums will suffer.
People otherwise meticulously
clean in their habits habitually neg
lect their teeth; the brush, used in a
perfunctionary rub, is allowed to be
come filthy and possibly does more
harm than good.
Many persons are continually
troubled with a raw sore throat,
aggravated in some cases by smoking
particularly if cigarettes are used; in
these individuals a systematic use of
a saturated solution of thymol in
water as a mouthwash and gargle, is
a most effectual preventive.
The solution is prepared as fol
lows: The crystals of thymol, placed
in a muslin bag, are put into a wide
mouthed bottle and cold water
added. Soon there will be a saturated
solution of > the drug. From time to
time more cold water is added until
all the crystals have disappeared.
Then more crystals are added. Thy
mol is inexpensive. An ounce, costing
no more than a few cents, will make
nine gallons of solution.
If the solution appears to be too
strong, that is if it "bites” the
tongue or throat, water may be
added. The drug is slowly soluble in
cold water. The addition of a little
glycerine adds to thesolubility.
When ready, the solution is used as a
gargle and mouthwash several times
a day. English clinicians of exper
ience claim that the remedy is very
effective in the prevention of throat
colds and tartar-filled mouths. Be
sides, no other antiseptic is so useful
in keeping one’s toothbrush in a
healthful condition. Considering the
cheapness and simplicity of this
drug, it is worth while trying.—J. W.

Standard Potato Bags
“Table Potatoes” Tags
Now that the height of ths season
for potato grading, packing and
shipping is here, the Fruit and Veg
etable Division of the Dominion De
partment of Agriculture offers the
reminder that a change in standard
potato bag sizes became effective
last season. It became illegal to use
the old 80 and 90 pound potatosacks. ,
Standard potato bag weights are
now 100 pounds, 75 pounds, ' 50
pounds, 25 pounds and 15 pounds.
When potatoes are packed in paper
bags in retail stores for sale con
venience, they should be packed in
multiples of 5 pounds, that is to
say, 5, 10, or 15 pounds. AU potato
bags must be properly marked to
indicate the name and address of
the packer, the proper designation
of the grade, and the net weight
when packed.
The Marking .Regulations contain
a new stipulation to the effect that
tags attached to potato bags, or to
branded potato bhgs, must include
the words "Table Potatoes." This
procedure was found necessary in
order to prevent the sale of table
potatoes as seed potatoes, and to
establish the fact that potatoes grown
and packed as table stock must not
be sold as certified seed potatoes.
The 1939 regulations also include
a standard potato erate. This crate
is commonly onlkd the Argentina
Crate and was standardised with the
dimensions 21 inches x 14 and a half
inches x 14 and a half inches with
a centre partition three-quarters of
an inch thick for the export trade of
certified seed potatoes, principally to
the Argentine. However, thia puck
age has becom popular and is now
used in other channel* of trade.
Seed Cleaning Plant* Used
By 18,743 Farmers
I could stay with you for two
month* that was good enough ref
erence for her.
92 Plant. Clean 1,197,693 Bushel, of
Grain and S,788p(M Famuli of
Clover and Grau Seed During
Year.
The fact that Ontario farmers are
becoming more seed minded is shown
in the annual report of the work
done by subsidized seed cleaning
plants which has recently been re
leased by the Ontario Department
of Agriculture. Ninety-two of these
plants are now in operation through
out the Province, the majority of
which are-prepared to scour, clean,
grade and separate cereal crops.
During the year July 1st, 1939, to iJune 80th, 1940, 18,743 farmers took 1
advantage of the equipment available
in these plants for the preparation
of their seed.
Some 1,197'693 bushels of grain
and 5,788,104 pounds of clover and
grass seed were cleaned.
This is a decided increase over
previous years, states John D. Mac
Leod, Crops, Seeds and Weeds
Branch, and shows that fanners rea
lize the use of clean, well-graded seed
will result in greater yields, cleaner
farmers, lower costs of production,
better grades, better prices and more
profits.

ADVERTISED GOODS
People know more about ad
vertised goods than about those
that are not advertised. If
you ask what is a good thing to
buy for some need, people will
usually quote some widely ad
vertised article that everyone
has heard of. If you ask about
some competing article that is
not advertised, they will usual
ly say they never heard of it,
consequently they are not likely
to buy it
People not merely buy the
advertised goods they have
heard of, but they are more
likely to buy at the stores that
are well advertised. These con
cerns appear constantly before
the public eye by their widely
read notices. A concern gets a
big advantage over its compet
itors by the relatively small ex
panse of advertising.

Riotous tints made a heady delight,
Fire-red and gold with purple bedight;
Blue skit - reflected in pabbiey rills.
Vivid green upland* stretch to the hills.
One tree denuded on a knoll stands atop,
An etching in black on the blue backdrop;
' Dark are the pine*, prim in rigid array,
Against the brilliance of maple display.
Corn-stalks are stacked in tented precision.
Culled from the earth for winter provision.
Creepers entwine in scarlet bright vehemence
An old and gnarled trunk, an ashen rail fence,
While daisy and goldenrod, purple and yellow
In symphony spring from brown earth in furrow.
Showers of gold rain down from the trees
Float softly to earth on a westerly breeze.
Blue smoke’s ascending in acrid accent
Sacrificial fires to a summer’s content.
Fervent thoughts rise to God in His Heaven;
Beauty thus acts on the soul as a leaven.
“Poet of Universe, Thou writest Thy Verse
In loveliest color on this Thy good earth;
Nobility surges ’midst beauties like these
And silently urges the soul be made free
Of the self-seeking of hard-centred self,
Which asks only power, positon and pelf.
Release then the spirit. Let it be free,
That it may worship; may glorify Thee.

Gratifying progress In the devel
opment of the Dominion Govern
ment’s reindeer industry in the
northern Mackenzie District is re
ported by the Department of Mines
and Resources and the reindeer herds
now constitute a dependable source
of livelihood for the natives of this
Under favorable climatic and
pasturage conditions, and with rea
sonably efficient management and
protection from predators the rein
deer multiply rapidly and the pro
ducts of the industry meet the ordin
ary needs of the native inhabitants
of the country.
It is evident, however, that the
advantages of reindeer husbandry
will be limited to some extent by
geographical and pasturage consid
erations. These animals appear to
thrive best in the area along the
Arctic coast north of the forest
fringe. In the summer they seek the
coast to escape insect pests, and feed
on a variety of vegetation, including
grasses, sedges and shfttbs. In the
winter they move inland, and live on
a diet of reindeer moss. ~
are sometimes herded
ground, instead of to the cohst in
the summer, but this has not been
tried in Canada.
In view of the limitations on the
extension of the reindeer industry,
imposed by the necessity of finding
suitable conditions, it is unlikely
that the Indians of northern Canada,
who live mainly in the interior, will
benefit directly by the introduction
of reindeer, except in so far as pro
ducts of the industry such as hides
may be made available to them. The
same remarks apply to those Es
kimos who live on some of the Arctic
Islands far from the mainland
where there is not sufficient suitable
vegetation to maintain reindeerherds.
These considerations reduce the
area in which reindeer may be hand- <
led to the best advantage to the
territory lying along the northern
fringe of the mainland and the ad
joining Arctic islands. This territory
is inhabited principally by Eskimos,
whose numbers are small in view of
the large territory involved.
Most of the natives in the zone
where reindeer may be successfully
developed live at present by hunting
and trapping and it is not the inten
tion of the Administration to en
tirely change their mode of life. In
those areas suited to reindeer the
natives are being encouraged to
engage in reindeier herding as a
means of augmenting their present
means of subsistence. The effect
will be to relieve the drain on the
wild life and conserve these natural
resources.
The area of northern Canada
which has been investigated from the
point of view of reindeer pasturage
extends from the Yukon-Alaska
boundary to Coronation Gulf and
Great Bear Lake; also part'of the
west side of Hudson Bay south of
Chesterfield Inlet. Particular atten
tion was paid to the area embracing
the Mackenzie Delta and eastward to
Anderson River and the area north
of Great Bear Lake. The territory
investigated from Alaska to Coron
ation Gulf and Great Bear Lake was
estimated to be capable of supporting
over half a million reindeer. This is
far in excess of the needs of the re
sidents.
The Dominion Government rein
deer industry is under the direction
of the Northwest Territories Admin
istration of the Department of Mine*
and Resources, assisted by an advi
sory committee composed of officers
of various Government departments.
A field staff is maintained to carry
out the necessary supervision of the
herds and the training of young
natives in reindeer husbandry.
The main Government reindeer
herd now comprising about 6,000
deer is maintained on a reserve of
approximately 6,600 square miles lo
cated immediately east of the Mac
kenzie Delta. A smaller herd of
about 1,500 head under native man
agement is located in the adjoin
ing area near Anderson River.
There are no indications that herds
of this size' in these locations are
likely to deplete the range. The
vegetation on. which the animals feed
in the summer is renewed annually
and in the case of the winter range
the moss is conserved by a system
of rotating the grazing areas. This
is necessary because the reindeer
moss takes many years to recover if
once overgrazed.
From present indications the rein
deer industry In northern Canada
can be extended to include many of
the areas in which the Eskimo* are
located. In the areas where condi
tions are not suitable for reindeer
herds it should be possible to supply
some of the product* of the industry
such as hides so that all the Eskimos
and even the Indians in areas fur
ther south may participate at least
to some extent in the advantages to
he derived.
There is, therefore, every reason
to believe that the reindeer industry1
in Canada may be developed to suf
ficient proportions* to satisfy the
material needs of the native popula
tion in the north as a supplement to
their ordinary means of livelihood.
The annual “Ladies’ Night”
the Ingersoll Lions Club was held on
Tuesday evening in the Folden’a Cor
ners’ United Church, where a fine
chicken supper w m served by the
ladies of that congregation.
President Lion Chief Cliff Hines
acted as chairman of the evening
and was in charge of the program.
The singing of “O Canada” and a
short sing song got the gathering off
to a good start. Members of the
Ingersoll Club, their ladies and
guests, a* well as several Woodstock
Lions and their ladies to the num
ber of 80, were in attendance.
The toast, to the ladies was pro
posed by Lion Alex. H. Edmonds
and Mrs. Cliff. Hine*, wife of the
club president, very ably responded
on behalf of the ladies present.
CapL Rev. Charles D. Daniel was
called upon for a few words and
appealed to the Club to assist in
getting donations of furniture and
furnishings for the recreation rooms
at the Military Training Centre No.
11 at Woodstock. Copt. Daniel
pointed out that other service clubs
in the county were being appealed
to and, that already some splendid
donations had been received. •
A joint meeting with the Wood-
stock Club on December 2nd, was
announced when the speaker is to
be John A. Rowland, General Man
ager of the Canada Permanent Mort
gage Corporation, Toronto.
The guest speaker was the District
Governor for this Zone of Lions In
ternational, Charles H. Bennett of
Paris, who was accompanied by Mrs.
Bennett Lion Dr, A. W. Waring,
introduced the istrict Governor who
gave a spledid address. Mr. Bennett
announced his subject as “Exalted
Women and Humble Men." His re
marks were both humorous and filled
with helpful suggestions for the bet
terment of the club. “Ladies are
the Guiding Power of Men,” said
Mr. Bennett "You ladies whose hus
bands belong to a Lions Club should
be proud your man belongs to such
a service organization. I urge you
to take more interest in the work
your hudband is doing and* see that
he is out to every meeting of his
club.”
Speaking directly to Lions Club
members, Mr. Bennett urged them to
consider the club as a business and
give it as much consideration and
energy as they possibly could, con
sidering the slogan, "Liberty, Intelli
gence, Our (Nation’s Safety.” "It is
your responsibility to hold fast to
all that is good in these troubled
times, so carry on,’ declared the
speaker in conclusion.
The thanks of the club were ten
dered to Mr. Bennett by Lion Victor
G. Shipton, who presented him with
' the gift of an electric clock from the
club.
The high lifirht of the evening was
a humorous wedding ceremony,
staged by members of the dub,
which was preceded by the selling
of an “Extra”, announcing the en
gagement of Lion J. (Ferris David
and Miss Evelyn M. Currie.
A program of entertainment fol
lowed the mock wedding which in
cluded vocal numbers by Doug.
Lowes of Woodstock, and Miss Mar
garet Copeland of Ingersoll; piano
accordian selections by Miss Helen
Balfour and xylophone selections by
Mrs. John Giffen. Miss Mary Crowley
and Ted . Sharpe acted as the accom
panists of the evening.
A vote of thanks to the ladies of
the Foldens Church and the enter
tainers of the evening, was tendered
by Lion W. W. Wilford, previous to
the coftdusion of* the evening’s
programme.
Trinity United Church held their
anniversary services on Sunday. Oc
tober 2th, with large congregations
both morning and evening. The ser
vices were in charge of Rev. R. A.
Facey. At the morning service the
special speaker was Rev. Charles
Eldicott of Toronto, and at the
evening service, Rev. L. Burry. The
evening speaker who represented the
Young People’s Union of the Lon
don Conference, gave a very inter
esting description of the church mis
sion work in Labrador and. New
foundland as se«n and experienced
in his nine years of service there.
Special music under the direction
of Mr. Ewart A. Bartley, organist
and choir leader, includind in the
morning,'the anthem, "The Heavens
Are Telling,* ’ and the solo, “The
Earth is the Lord’s,” by Mr. F.
Webster of London. At the evening
service the ehoir sang the anthem,
‘Om, For a Closer Walk with God,”
with Mrs. Harold Uren as the soloist
and Mr. Webster sang, "The Peni
tent,” and “Just For Today.”
Insects and disease cause an annu
al loss of about 700 million cubic
feet to the forests of Canada; the
'annual loss by fire is estimated at
125 million cubic feet of merchant
able timber and a like amount for
the loss of growing timber. Together
with the annual cut-of 2,680 million
cubic feet of standing timber for
domestic and industrial uses ,the
total annual depletion is estimated at
3,930 million cubic feet of standing
timber.
