A. $2.0* , TORONTO SPEAKER AT ' K1WANIS LADIES’NIGHT FromBroke Dr. S. Mack Eastman De > cribed His EscapeGeneva Since War Out In Europe. Members of the Ingersoll Kiwani* Club held ‘'Ladies’ Night” on Thurs­ day evening last at the Ingersoll Inn when they were host* to their ladies. President Alex Yule occupied the hair for the evening. Mis# Ruth A. Cuthbertson led a short sing-song lfc with Miss Muriel Parker as accom­ panist and vocal numbers were given by a chorus composed of Kiwanian Royden G. Start, F. Earl Johnston, Capt. Rev. Charles D. Daniel, W. Currie Wilson, F. Heath Stone and George Bartlett, with Miss Parker as the accompanist. The guest speaker for the evening was Dr. S. Mack Eastman, of Tor­ onto, one of the senior officials in the International Labor Office at Geneva, Switzerland, who told of the experiences in his escape from Europe since war broke out there last year. The speaker who was introduced by Kiwanian John J. McLeod, has had an interesting career. After graduation from the University, he continued his studies in France and at the time war broke out last year in Europe, he was one of the senior officials in the International Labor Office at Geneva. Dr. Eastman’s re­ marks were listened to with the greatest of interest as he told the story of his escape from Geneva, through France, Spain and Portugal. The speaker briefly described the set-up of the International Labor office at Genera, where at its heighth of importance there were 64 state members. At the outbreak of the war in September, 1939, Dr. Eastman said his first concern was to get his wife and two children out of Geneva, which was accomplished with more or less difficulty. He remained at.his job until, as he recalled, he heard the voice of Marshal Petain of France, speaking over the radio and declaring “All was lost” He at once made up his mind to escape from Europe if at all possible. The speaker told of tendering his resgination and burning the corres­ pondence in his office for fear it, might get in enemy hands, trouble encountered passport and visa were described and mention was made of help received from a Spanish Consul. The trip was made in his 1930 model two-ton car, as he had been given permission to take all the gasoline he wished to get his car to a point of debarkation. He told of picking up a straggling priest, who was an army sergeant, while on his way and of the help the priest had been in aiding him to get through.. Conditions in France and Spain were described at some length and the speaker said that in Spain there was a shortage of sugar, tea, coffee, bread and paper. A great change was noted when Portugal was enter­ ed and the people of this country were described as the last of the free and easy people of Europe. He was extended every courtesy there and had been able to secure passage on a boat sailing for North America shortly after his arrival in the capi­ tal city of Lisbon. At the conclusion of his most in­ teresting talk, Kiwanian Rev. H. E. f Merifield expressed the thanks of the ’ gathering to Dr. Eastman.

CANADIAN RED CROSS SOCIETY Local Branch Hold Meeting in The Chamber*. General Council A general meeting of the Ingersoll and District Branch of the Canadian Red Cross Society was held in the Council Chambers, Wednesday evening at 8.15. Dr. Osborn, the president was in the chair. In his opening remarks, he stated that al­ though the Red Cross canvass in the various units was still incomplete, amounts seemed to be approximately the same as last year. In Ingersoll the canvass had been made by the War Charities and to date they had given the Red Cross $500 for local purposes. In the absence of the secret Mrs. Baxter, the minutes of t-» pre­ vious meeting were read by Miss Coventry, and moved by her and seconded by Mr. Yule and carried. A letter from headquarters was read, regarding the issuing of sup­ plies and comforts to troops in this district. Copies of the September issue of the Canadian Veteran were distribu­ ted, which contained an editorial stating that the Red Cross does not obtain money for supplies. Copies of the Despatch were also distributed. These were particularly interesting because they dealt with what has been done by the Red Cross during the last six to twelve months both at home and abroad. Dr. Osborn inform­ ed the meeting of a broadcast every Sunday evening from 6.50 to 7, (E. D. S.), called the Voice of the Red Cross, which tells of the important things done by the Red Cross during the previous week. The president then called upon Mrs. Malcolm for her report. Her report was a splen­ did one and at its conclusion, it was moved by Mr. Merifield, seconded by Mr. Johnson and enthusiastically approved by the rest of the meeting, that a hearty vote of thanks be ten­ dered Mrs. Malcolm and her workers and that the report be made public for the benefit of those not in atten­ dance at the meeting. The following, is Mrs. Malcolm’s report: Ontario Division has been asked to make 250,000 garments. In order) to ensure a proper balance between sizes and types of garments, each Branch is being issued with a quota. The following list gives the alloca­ tion for Ingersoll and District Branch, both the total number of articles required and the number completed to date. The entire alloca­ tion was to have been completed in December, but the time has been extended by headquarters to Jan­ uary: 40 skirts, 12 years, completed; 25 pullovers 12 years, 13 shipped; 50 dressing gowns, 36 shipped; 25 slips, size 38, completed; 50 nightgowns, 44, 25 shipped; 5 layettes, complet­ ed; 10 pair knitted stockings, 4 years, 8 pair shipped; 50 girls’ dresses’ 7 shipped; 50 pair bloomers, large, 15 pair shipped.

We have been asked to make articles givea to this Branch but if work is to be supplied to all units, other articles must be made. This is being done to a certain extent but would probably overlap some other Branch’s allocation. There is need for: —J (1) Moderate amount of>sewing. (2) Knitted pullovers, size 12, any color. (3) " Knitted seamen’s socks, two- way mitts. (4) Turtle-neck sweaters and tuck-ins. (5) Rifle mitts and gloves.

CANADIAN LEGION WAR SERVICES Britain’* Increasing Support Some of the stanchest supporters of the aid-to- Britain movement in the United States are persons who formerly were either lukewarm or quite im­ partial in their attitude toward the war. This alter­ ation in sentiment has been due to a country-wide recognition of America’s position in the world con­ flict. Many recent recruits to the, anti-Naxi cause base their new position on moral as well as political grounds. Such is the motive acknowledged by some three­ score of Roman Catholics—laymen and clergy—for a recent statement urging all possbile aid from the United States to Britain, “lest we be left to face the dictators of Europe and Asia alone.” This is a most timely plea. The United States is speeding up its manufacture and shipment of sup­ plies to Britain. It is approaching the time when it may have to consider placing its ships once more in traffic between Amercian and British ports. But meanwhile the seas on which American supplies must travel, and American ships may soon have to venture, are becoming daily more dangerous 'because of the U-boat menace. “"important and heartening as is the tremendous victory of the Royal Navy’s air force in halving the capital ship strength of the Italian Navy in its raid on the ba-e at Taranto, the area of submarine war­ fare and of raids on merchant shipping in the North Atlantic off the Irish coast remains a crucial one in the present struggle. Mr. Churchill has explained that one of the fore­ most reasons for the seriousness of the U-boat war­ fare against Britain lies in the fact that bases from which the British Navy could operate in the World War are now denied it. These bases lie in that portion of Ireland which is predominantly Roman Catholic. Up to now the Prem­ ier of Eire has refused to grant to Britain the right to use bases in Southern Ireland. Nor has he publicly recognized what is becoming clear to many Irishmen in America and elsewhere, that the interests of an independent Eire, like those of an independent United States, are bound up with victory over the Nazis. If this means at the moment Britain’s victory over the Nazis, that is not Britain’s fault Many factors operate to keep Mr. de Valera’s posi­ tion fixed in a static refusal to face facts. Ireland would be exposed to bomb attacks should Irishmen decide to dedicate their naval bases to a fight for freedom. There are old and understandable grudges. But as compared with the threat to Eire’s sovereignty that is implicit in the spread of Naziism, thoughts of any danger of British encroachments in the South must seem romantic today. In urging *a)l possible aid to Britain the Irish ele­ ment of Roman Catholicism in America may well do more than urge this upon citizens of the United States. Their stand should help free people every­ where to clear up foggy concepts of Britain’s present role, and of Irelands potential place, in a struggle crucial to the future of small States and to religious ^freedom.—The Christian Science Monitor.

TRAINED MEN IN WAR Ottawa—The need of trained and intelligent minds in modern warfare is as great as in modern business, farming or any other civilian occu­ pation, Lieut-Col. Wilfrid Bovey, of Montreal, national chairman of the Committee on Education, Canadian Legion War Servues, declared in a broadcut delivered over the national network of the C. B. C. Speaking on the education activ­ ities of the Legion on behalf of Canada’s enlisted men at home and overseas, Col. Bovey said that the Legion’s new system of correspon­ dence studies are attracting the at­ tention of thousands of sailors, sol­ diers and airmen. “It is only three weeks ago that we were able to let them know about our new facilities,” he said. "We ex- pected that in 52 weeks we should have 3,000 registrations. In three weeks we have had 4,000; hundreds more are coming in every day and our most important areas have hardly begun to report.” In addition, he stated, more than 2,000 others are taking advantage of the provincial correspondence courses and of opportunities for special cluses in technical schools. The motto of warriors of other years, “Mine is not to reason why; mine but to do or die,” does not hold in to-day’s battles, Col. Bovey em­ phasized. Each man has now to know exactly what he is doing and why he is doing it. The Legion, con­ sequently, is working in complete co-operation with naval, land and air force authorities so that facili­ ties provided, aside from helping to lay the ground work now for re­ habilitation later, will aid materially in improving all-round military effi­ ciency of the men enrolled for study. Col. Bovey stressed the importance of the Legion’s education services in helping to maintain the morale and fighting spirit of the men during periods of inactivity when the dan­ gers of monotony and boredom are greatest. Speed and efficiency are the keynotes of modern business. Both are found to thehighest degree in Trust Company administra­tion of estates, with trained personnel andup-to-date facilities. The Trust Company provides the maximum service at the mini­mum cost. THE CANADA PERMANENT TRUST COMPANY Oxford County Branch [fS&l WOODSTOCK, ONTARIO C. G. MITCHELL Manager.A.

Pleasure Trips To The U. S. A. Canada is urgently in need of aeroplanes, aero­ plane engines and parts and other vital war require­ ments. Most of such materials must be purchased in the United States and must be paid for in cash, in United States dollars. To secure these, less import­ ant calls upon Canada’s available supply of foreign exchange, such as plesure travel, must be subordin­ ated. That is why the Government has asked Can­ adians to forego pleasure visits to thZUnited States. It is not that Canada is spending loSa money in the United States than heretofore. 'As/a -matter of fact, our expenditures are running to Acord levels. The question is one of deciding on the relative importance of the purposes to which our foreign exchange re­ sources may be used. Obviously aeroplanes and other munitions of war -are more important in the national interest today than pleasure travel of our citizens in the UAA. A resident of Canada must have a permit to take Canadian or American dollars to the United States. The Foreign Exchange Control Board supplies United States dollars and gives permits to take them out of Canada, for" legitimate business trips, travel for health reasons and in certain other special cases. Spec­ ial arrangements have also been made for Canadians living in border communities to continue their normal social-intercourse with friends in neighbouring Amer­ ican communities. Otherwise, however, Canadians desirous of visiting the United States for pleasure will not be permitted to take out of Canada either Canadian or American dollars. Canadians who do not observe the Regulations and attempt to take money out of the country, without a permit are making themselves liable to prosecution. The Young Ladies' Music Club held a successful meeting last evening at the home of Miss Carrie Sinclair and elected the following officers: Presi­ dent, Mrs. (Dr.) Murray; Vice-President, Mrs. W..J. Tune; Secretary, Miss Jessie Radford; Treasurer, Miss Leila Kerr. The name of Pte. Harry McDermott, son of Mr. and Mrs. Henry McDermott of Banner, and formerlyof Ingersoll, has been added to the* local list of those killed in action. Official word has been received that the young soldier made the supreme sacrifice on the west front on the 11th of November. Ingersoll Branch of the Upper Canada Bible So­ ciety elected the following officers for 1918: Presi­ dent, Rev. Ronald Macleod; Vice-President, E. W ./ Uren; Secretary-Treasurer, A. S. Crawford; Com­ mittee, Rev. E. Sheppard, Rev. Joseph Janes, Rev. R. J. M. 'Perkins, Captain Taylor, Wm. Partlo, R. J. Robertson, M. E. Scott, E. H. Hugill, F. W. Waters, G. C. Ellis, John Lee, H. Groom. The women of Ingersoll held a great patriotic and win-the-war meeting in support of the Unionist Government candidate, Donald Sutherland, M.P., in the Mason Theatre, on Tuesday afternoon. The chair was taken by Mrs. J. G. Scott. Mrs. Perkins sang, "On Canadians On.” The guest speaker was Mrs. Gordon Wright of London. Electrical Appliances C.C.M.

S. Dollars Urgently Needed Many Canadians do not seem to realize that, with certain exceptions, it is against the law for them to hold foreign currencies which of course, includes United States dollars, so urgently needed to buy war materials abroad. It is the furfetfom of the Foreign Exchange Control Board to gather in all foreign ex­ change arising out of our exports, tourist expendi­ tures in Canada, and from miscellaneous sources and release it for purchases of aeroplanes, guns and other much needed equipment, principally in the United States. If any Canadian haa United States dollars, or any other foreign exchange in the form of bank ac­ count*, bills, cheques, drafts or similar instruments in his possession, without the permission of the Board, he is not-only evading the law end leaving himself open to prosecution, but he is hindering Canada's war effort.

EXPORTS. The total value of exports (excludinggold) for the twelve months endedSeptember was *1,161.193,000, whichrepresents an increase of 30 per cent over the previous twelve months and brings Canada's export trade to thehighest point in a decade. ROWELL-SIROIS REPORT. Apart from the war and its financinga subject uppermost in many minds isthe consideration of the Report of theRoyal Commission on Dominion-Pro­vincial Relations for which a meeting of the Premiers is being called forOttawa next January. Personally I be­lieve that the adoption of the reportwould be in the best interests of theDominion and the Provinces and'regardit as a matter of enormous-importance. THE WAR WILL BE WON. It is a different war to the last one or Ito any previous war inasmuch as it is awar of ruthless destruction instead of i fighting as has Igren known heretofore. IThe destruction of property, ships and <their cargoes, and of all things of value ;are making increasing demands for <money for replacements and to make up Ilosses, and while the amounts we are ;being called upon to provide for taxes, jwar loans, Savings Certificates and > w bat not are in the minds of many beinglooked upon as almost a hardship <already, yet for the reasons I may have :given above we must expect greater ;sacrifices and heavier payments out ofour personal and national incomes. Thewar must be won and it will be won.Personally I believe the danger haspassed the peak but as long as there are ‘ so many millions of men under armsand such a vast amount of war material , in active operation it is going to take a ■long time to bring about completevictory and the war may easily go on 1for a considerable period of time.

BRANCHES. During the year branches of theBank were opened at West Vancouver,B.C., and at McKenzie Island (sub toRed Lake), Ontario. No brancheswere closed, and the total now number 195.SHAREHOLDERS. Shareholders of the Bank a* onSeptember 30th, 1940, numbered 2,710—a decrease of one during the year,the average holding being approxi­mately 25 shares: 6,651 of our share*are held by residents of the UnitedState*—an increase of 16 during the year. They are distributed among 311 shareholders. STAFF. The Staff of the Bank as on October31st, 1940, totalled 1481 as comparedwith 1417 a year ago. These figuresdo not include 114 members absent onactive service, all of whom have beengranted leave of absence for the dur­ ation of the War. This represents 9.5%of our male Staff at the outbreak of ~ the War. The Bank in these cases ispaying their contributions as well asthe Bank's own contribution to thePension Fund and has continued theirGroup Insurance in force. 1 am surethis policy will meet with your approvaland we hope that they will all return to our Service.As is customary, reports on businessconditions have been received from allbranches of the Bank.

IMPERIAL BANK SHOWS STRENGTH In Excellent Position To Assist In War and Business Under­ taking*. While maintaining a very liquid petition, in the interests of it* share­ holder* and depositor* and in order to meet th* demand* of war finan­ cing, the Imperial Bank was able to report that earnings for the year ended October 31, 1940, had been maintained, and after payment of taxes (increased by 1162,000 over the previous year), and provision for pension and guarantee funds and bad or doubtful debts, net profit of $061,017.67 showed a decrease of only $6,240.86 from last year, ac­ cording to figures presented st the annual meeting of shareholder* at Toronto on Wednesday, November 27th. Reviewing Canada’s war activities and the expenditures made by the. Government on its own or British Government’s behalf, the President, Mr. A. E. Phipps, in his annual ad­ dress, pointed out that this had brought national public expenditures as a whole to a figure far beyond any previous level. As a result, gen­ eral business activity had risen to the highest point in our economic hsitory, and had caused and is caus­ ing a trmendous boom in business of all kinds in Canada. The employ­ ment situation had changed gener­ ally to the most favorable position in the past decade. A marked better­ ment in railway revenues; an in­ crease in total export trade of 30 per cent, bringing it to the highest point in a decade; maintenance of strength in high grade bonds; and a gain in assets of the chartered TOWN OP 1NGUSOLL SALE OF LANDS ARREARS OF TAXES To Wit:NOTICE IB HEREBY GIVEN that th* list of land* to b* sold for the Town of Ingersoll ba* been pre­pared and wa» publMned in an ad­ vertisement in “Thd Ontario Gaz­ette” upon th* 7th day of September, 1940. rCopies of the /list of land* for •ale for arrears or taxa* may be hadin the Town Treasurer’s Office on and after 2 let May of September,1940.

Christmas Candy BRITISH INDUSTRIES — From Hobart WUliamro* — BRITAIN BUILDING 1,2*0,000 BICYCLES World Market* The British bicycle industry haa now been organised by the Bicycle War Export Group for the export within the next twelve month* of 1,250,000 bicycle*, either complete or in component part*. There will be nothing ersatz about them, for the Export Group has been able, with the help of th, Board of Trade*, to arrange for the same quality of material as in peace time. Special attention is being paid to adapting the British bicycle for the United States and Canada. American and Canadian cyclists like broader saddles than the British. They pre­ fer coaster hubs, cable brakes and tyres up to two inches in width, as againrt one and three-eighths in Eng­ land. The light weight of the British bi­ cycle as compared with that of other countries, particularly Germany and Japan, is being more and more ap­ preciated. Most British machines are at least twenty-five per cent lighter than the corresponding German or Japanese machine, the result to some extent of the increasing use in Britain of the open frame. These points, as well as ease in in riding and handling are being emphasised by the special trade mis­ sion now on its way to South Amer­ ica with Lord Willfrigdon at its head. South American cyclists are specially interested in British bicycles as they can no longer buy either German or Italian. The British makers are al­ ready manufacturing for stock in or­ der that the overseas demand may be promptly met. surpassed and we are confident that, after the war, we shall extend our export markets even further.” Scout New* STOP being a FIRE SLAVE ... with FAIRBANKS MORSE rfufonfic COAL HEAT •Ybo can have AUTO­ MATIC coal heat for leu than hand firing is now costing you!

FRANK FULTON banks of $124,000,000, were other points noted by Mr. Phipps in his review of the current situation. Reviewing at length the recom­ mendations of the Royal Commission on Dominion-Provincial Relations (the Sirois Report), Mr. Phipps said that while the proposals mean a com­ plete revision of the terms of Con­ federation and the adoption of a plan that requires the most careful con­ sideration of all concerned, there seemed to be a growing tendency amongst Provincial legislators in its favour, and personally he believed that adoption of the report would be in the best interests of the Dominion and the Provinces and regarded It as a matter of enormous importance. Thq,war, which had differed from every war in history in the extent of the ruthless destruction involved and the consequent demands made for re­ placements through taxes and loans, was likely to entail even greater sac-. rifice and heavier payments out of' personal and national incomes. The war must be won, and will be won. Personally, he believed the danger had passed its peak, but the war might easily go on for a considerable period of time. The Bank’s state­ ment indicated that it was being maintained in the best possible con­ dition for assisting in the provision of funds for the prosecution of the war and for carrying on its general business at the same time.

Z The most up-to-date of the-'j mills are now hidden far away in the hills. If, by the odd change, an enemy bomber does makes a hit on one of them the work being done in the mill is by a mutual scheme of work instantly transferred to another. The result is to be noted not only in the colossal woollen exports for the month but in the actual arrivals of these exported goods. There is no country with which the British wool­ len trade has closer relations than the Argentine; one-tenth of the vast British export trade in woollen tis­ sues is done with the Argentine. In the first six months #of the present war, no fewer than 2*36 ships ftyiflg the British flag entered the ports of the Argentine and in the last month of the period 39 ships, more than maintaining the average, safely arrived. . The Kiwants Boy Scouts' regular weekly meeting got under way at 7.30 Friday evening, November 29th, with a good attendance. The attend­ ance was down some on account of the commencement at the town hall. The Scouts all want to congratulate Scouts Melvin Shecter and Jim Lun- ney on winning the big $27.00 prize for the highest aggregate in their en­ trance examinations last year. The Scouts met at the school.and then went from there up to their new headquarters. Troop Leader Wilson McBeth and Scouter Lou McComb* were detained at the school but on their arrival the meeting soon got under way by forming the horseshoe and the Scouts getting their instruct­ ions, then going to their corner*. Some of the Scouts were asked by their Scout Master to go to the home of Mrs. Ben. Holmes and bring a couple of benches which Mrs. Holmes so kindly loaned for the winter. We all want to extend our kindest thanks to Mrs. Ben. Holmes for the loan of these benches, chairs and tabic, it helped out a lot.

Scouts be out next week with .a perfect attendance and try to hava everybody pass their tenderfoot test by the first of the year. We were then called from our Patrol corners and given further instruct­ ions about next meeting and asked to get everybody out next week.

BRITAIN THANKS HITLER For Yet Another Useful New Export Industry The British hosiery trade, until five yean ago, was largely dependent on Germany for its supply of hosiery latch needles, a vital part of hosiery knitting machine* In their determination to win in­ dependence of foreign supplies, an engineering firm in Leicester, the centre of the British hosiery indus­ try, began negotiating with a neigh­ bouring company of latch needlq manufacturers whose weekly pro­ duction was at that time 70,000 needles. Technical improvements were made not only in the design of the needle itself but also in manu­ facturing processes, -with the result that output increased ‘ to 300,000 a week, and export business in the Argentine, Portugal, Australia, Egypt and N'.w Zealand has more than doubled since the outbreak of Butova Elgin and They make a perfect gift aijd are a constant reminder of your sentiment.

VITAMINS FOR WAR Great Britain, locked in the Ntrtaggle of war and conscious of the importance of maintaining at high levels the strength and courage of her people, has fortified margar­ ine with vitamin A and restored calcium and vitamin Bl to flour. Leaders in nutritional research such as Sir John Orr, (well-known to Canadians) and Dr. J. C. Drummond, were largely responsible for this im­ provement. That a slim margin ex­ ists between man’s physiological re­ quirements for vitamin Bl and his intake of this vitamin has long been known; the natural storage of this vitamin in the body is very small and debility quickly follows when men are deprived of it Investigation in England showed that the diets of only half of the population were found to provide a sufficient level of vitamin Bl. Such conditions are not con­ fined to England. A report from the U. S. Dept, of Agriculture has shown that a country of overproduct­ ion and bursting granaries feeds its people on diets poor in vitamins A, D, and Bl, and in calcium. When white flour and sugar provide 60 per cent of the food as in England and the U. S., the diet cannot be said to be satsifactory. Food conditions in Canada approx­ imate very closely to those of the United States. How can these condi­ tions be improved? Simply by addi­ tion of the vitamins shown to be lacking in our foods. If we must eat white bread and consume an inor­ dinate amount of sugar, we must supplement this bsrren diet with the vitamins lacking. Vitamin A, so val­ uable in growth, comes from butter, fat, egg-yolk, cod-liver oil and from the leaves of plants such as cabbage, celery and lettuce. It is a fat-Soluble vitamin, that is one soluble in fat. Vitamin B and all its derivatives, Bl etc., is soluble in water. It is found in the bran layer of cereals, in milk, vegetables, eggs, liver and sweebread; it is deficient in meat Vitamin Bl, a preventive of nerve troubles and vitamin B2 which pre­ vents pellagra, are two independent factors of vitamin B. Vitamin D is the one which builds up the bones and teeth. It is not found in veget­ able oils but occurs in butter fat and especially in cod-liver oil. Vitamin D is the especial preventive of rickets. From the foregoing it will readily be seen how easy it is to supplement a poor diet by natural products. —J. W. S.

W. Wells, general freight agent, and approved by F. P. Nelson, reg­ ional traffic manager, for the Tor­ onto territory, effective at once: G. E. Smith, formerly division freight and district passenger agent, at North Bay, to Ibe division freight agent, at Toronto. Mr. Smith suc­ ceeds F. G. Gould, who recently was made Assistant General Freight Agent at Toronto. G. H. Bush, formerly district freight agent, at Toronto, to be div­ ision freight and district passenger agent, at North Bay. Mr. Bush suc­ ceeds Mr. Smith, transferred to Tor­ onto. W. A. Townsend, formerly district freight agent at Windsor, to be dis­ trict freight agent at Toronto, suc­ ceeding Mr. Bush, transferred to North Bay. E. P. Cronk, formerly freight traf­ fic representative, at Toronto, to be district freight agent, at Wind­ sor, succeeding Mr. Townsend, trans­ ferred to Toronto. C. E. Little, formerly chief clerk to the general freight agent, to be district freight agent, at Hamilton. 'Mr. Little succeeds J. W. Sharpe, who has been transferred to Ottawa as division freight agent. All officers are widely-known throughout the province both- in rail­ way and shipping circles. Mr. Smith ,entered the service of the old Grand Trunk System at Wajkerton, in 1908, and held various positions in Tor­ onto until the first of the year, when he was appointed to his Northern Ontario post, with headquarter* at North B i/. Mr. Bush also entered the Grand Trunk service in 1908, and held var­ ious positions tn Toronto and Lon­ don. He held the position of of dis­ trict freight agent at the latter city, prior to his appointment to a similar post at Toronto, which he now re­ linquishes to accept a promotion to North Bay. Mr. Townsend commenced hi* rail- According to a recent report of the Ontario Department of Health there were about 20 per cent more cases of scarlet fever in Ontario last year than during the previous twelve months. In this connection it is pointed out that the present mildness of the disease makes its control difficult. During the past few years the symp­ toms have become considerably mod­ ified, so that cases often escape atten­ tion. This is the more serious since the very mild cases are the one 'which are likely to spread the disease, which is conveyed from one person to an­ other not by the scales of skin—as many people still imagine—but by secretions from the nose and throat. It is emphasized that parents should be alert regarding sore throats in children, partciularly if the sore throat is complicated by fever­ ishness, a red tongue or a rash. Children with such symptoms should be kept away from chool and from contact with others until their condi­ tion has.been diagnosed by a doctor. The safest way, if there is any suspicion that a child is developing an infectious disease is to notify the local Health Department, it is stated.. The Health League of Canada has issued a warning to mothers that this is a season of special danger to in­ fanta. For this reason, the mother who gets a call from a friend who is suffering from a cold should not take C. E. Little, was born in Hamilton and commenced his railway service at that city, in 1909, and has held various positions in Hamilton and Toronto, prior to his appointment as district freight agent, at Hamilton.
