WHALEY LIONS SPEAKER Ingersoll Club Resume Activi­ ties For Ensuing Year, ‘ There was an attendance of twen­ ty-three at the regular meeting of the Ingersoll Lions Club held on Tuesday evening at the St. Charles Hotel Coffee Shop at 6.30 o’clock. The club president, Jofin E, Borland occupied the chair and Lion Fred Bigham acted as Lion Tamer leading a sing-song with Lion Ted Sharpe at the piano. The proclamation for National Re­ consecration Week, with the Recon­ secration Week Prayer and Grace, sent the club by Mayor Dr. J. Mur­ ray, were ' read by Lion J. Ferris David. Several Communications were re­ ceived including a report on the In­ ternational Convention by Past Dis­ trict Governor Lion Charles Bennett of Paris. An interesting letter was received from Lion Lome S. Ridley, who recently enlisted in the R.C.A.F. and is now stationed at Trenton. President Borland extended his personal thanks to the members of the club who made the trip to Tor­ onto on Augu -t 25th, in connection with the Safety Day Progiatn at the C. N. E., when the club sponsored the taking, of the Ingersoll Pipe Band and a number of boys and girls to Toronto to take part in this spec­ ial program. The guest speaker was Albert C. Whaley, a member of the Woodstock Lions Club etnd a partner in the law firm of Nesbit, McKay and Whaley, Woodstock. Mr. Whaley was introdu­ ced to the gathering by Lion J. Fer­ ris David, and his subject was “Noth­ ing but the Truth.” The speaker gave a very fine talk outlining the importance of truth in connection with ev^ry activity of a person’s life. In his opening remarks he declared, "That without truth, re­ ligion would become little more than witchcraft and financial institution* ■ could not carry on without the confi­ dence that thetruth of their state­ ments inspired.”" Mr, Whaley dealt with his subject more particularly in as far as it concerned the profession, of law. He gave several ’JlKistrations by quoting excerpta frinifL tKe «drim-. inal law and spent the greater part of his time in talking about different types of lies and lying. He said that the opposite of truth was not a lie but an untruth. He contended that there was never any justification for telling a lie and paid particular stress to the fact that the truth mustalways stand, "Man is the only animal given to lying,” Mr. Whaley added, “and said that during the past few centuries lying ha* been on the decline as the average? person under normal circum­ stance* tell* the truth,” The speaker described different types of lie* and means that had been adopted to try and detect these, such a* torture, imprisonment, ques- tiofang, finger printing, blood test­ ing, hand writing and the mor* re­ cent way by a lie detecting machine, and through hypnoti«m, and the truthserums Mr. Whaley described at some length the Polygraph machine or lie □elector and expressed the1 belief that this could be a source of great bene­ fit to mankind if kept-under strict supervision, but warned against’ let­ ting such machine* get in the hands of individuals that would make im­ proper use of them. In concluding his remark* the speaker said “Invention* of centuries have been to reduce the amount of lying and make its detection more easy. We are fighting a war against a gangster and a liar for the preser­ vation of democracy, and to win the war we must fa worthy of the vic­ tory and ahould adopt the principle of "Nothin* • But the Truth.” Ths thank* of the club were ten­ dered to Mr. Whaley by Lion John ■Speed, Appointed Musical Director Harry Edmdnd* ha* be*n appoint­ ed muncal director at the Inffervoll Bapttet Church and eommeueed hte mw Julie# on Sunday.

The export of feed grains from Canada has been brought under con­ trol through orders signed by Hon. James G. Gardiner, Dominion Mini­ ster of Agriculture and published in an extra issue of the Canada Gazette. One of these orders prohibits the ex­ port from Canada of oate, barley, and any combination or mixture of these or of either of them with other feed grains, whole or ground, unless such shipment is accompanied by a permit signed by or on behalf of the Minister of Trade and Commerce. A second order brings under similar control wheat of grade 4 or lower grades. This action in bringing under license the export of coarse grains and the lower grades of wheat is in line with measures that have already been taken to exercise rigid control of export in the case of milk-feeds and other feeds and feed ingredients. The reason for these control meas­ ures is that, because of unfavourable weather conditions this year in both Eastern and Western sections' of Canada, production of coarse grains may be materially below that of 1940. It was with such a contingency in mind that, as a precautionary measure, the Minister of Agriculture was given power, by an Order in Council passed on March 4, 1941, under the authority of the War Measures Act, to prohibit “in his dis­ cretion and to the extent that he may deem desirable” the export of certain feed grains, millfecds, and so forth “in order to conserve the dom­ estic supply of live stock feeds.” Through this control of export of feed grains and the other measures mentioned, the Government, it is pointed out, is taking precautions to see that adequate ’supplies of feed- ing-stuffs are retained in Canada for the production of the record exports - of Ibacon which the Dominion hasjpH dertaken to supply to Great Britain during the third year of the war and lor the production of the heavy sup­ plies of cheese and eggs which it is anticipated will be required by Bri­ tain.

Timely Hints About Garden Perennials Useful Hints onStoring Vegetables —\ All vegetables intended for stor­ age during the winter should be grown to full maturity, otherwise they cannot be expected to keep well. For the storage of onions, a cool dry cellar, with the temperature not over‘40 degreeaSat any time, is ideal, and when the onions are not piled to any 'great depth, shallow slatted crates or shelves will be found satisfactory. Particularly in districts where the growing season is short, onions may require some help to ripen. As sotn as *the tops of a few plants fall over,, all the topis should be bent down. This checks the flow of sap( and causes the bulbs to ripen. A few* days later the plants should be pulled, and if the weather continues fine, the onions * should be turned over occasionally until the tops are fairly well dried. They should then be cut off and the on­ ions spread in the open or in slat­ ted crates. When dry, they may be placed in storage for the winter. With regard to squash and pump­ kins, on no account should they bo exposed to the least frost. As soon as the rind is firm enough to prevent piercing by the finger nail, the fruit may be taken from the plant. Pump­ kins and squash should be stored in a dry place at a temperature of from .40 to 50 degrees. At all times they should be handled as carefully as eggs. The slightest bruise, even though not noticeable, is likely to cause decay in storage. When large quantities are to be stored, slatted shelves should be used so th^t the fruit may not be piled on top df one another.For storing cabbage, nil the' outer leaves should first be removed and the heads handled carefully to pre­ vent bruising. A dry* day when there is no rain lodged in the heads should bo chosen for storing in a dry^pol place. If there is. good circulation in the storeroom, the heads may be piled in several layers. Small .quantities may beguiled without cutting off the heads and suspended from a joist in the cellar. The roots may be left on but all the outer leaves should be removed. Carrots, beets, and parsnips should be kept very cool, and be well dried Cross-examining a witness on the other side, a barrister tried to dis­ credit him. "You tell us you came to the city in si-arch of work,” he said meaning­ ly. “I put to you that there was an- other, a stronger, motive which brought you all that distance.” "Well,” hesitated the witness, there was," "Ah,” exclaimed the barrister tri­ umphantly, “now tell the court what it was. "A locomotive,” replied the wit­ ness, blandly. Two cockney boys spending a day In the country came upon a man fly­ fishing.

The ray-florets arc yellow or browji according to the variety. Some varieties of Sunflower (Helian- thu«) also bloom late but those which spread- badly are nut suitable for small borders. The other yellow flow- ering plant that is useful for Fall .flowers is the Rudbeckia, Coneflower. 'The Black Eyed Susan of the fields is quite attractive and others are R. Newmani and R. hirta. Another plant sometimes ' called Rudbeckia and generally known as Purple Cone­ flower starts to bloom in July but will continue flowering until Septem­ ber if the heads are removed as soon as they fade.

GRANT SMALL INGERSOLL Pickling Hello Homemakers! Even with the preserving season on the wane— there is still much to be done!- “All the summer, weather saying naught of nerves Toils the busy housewife, making choice preserves." The Homemakers of today have adequate equipment—and cool, clean kitchens where all extra tasks are accomplished easily, and' thejre is lime to spare for wartime work. It is a satisfaction to know that the preserves now will simplify mdal planning during -the winter months, and satisfy hearty appetites There are two methods of pickling —the quick—and the fermentation process. The “quick” is less exacting and therefore favored by the busy housewife.- Vegetables are put in a crock, covered with a weak brine and left for twenty-four hours with a cover on. (Ufually an enamel pie tin, or earthen plate is‘weighted down as a cover.) At the end of this “soaking" period vegetables are drained apd rinsed . in cleaY, cold water—then prepared for pickling according to,the variety to be made. In the fermentation process veget-1 able* are cured for some time, in a stronger brine to prevent the growth of spoilage bacteria. When the juieea drain from the vegetables, the brine flow* into the product, changing theI flavour and making crisp and delect­ able pickles.a a a The fruits or vegetables to be used in pickling must be fresh. < Pickle within 24 hour* after gath­ ering.^ Never u«‘ over-ripened pro­ ducts. Vinegar should be free from sediment, and not too strong. Spkes may be added to the vinegar or tied in a cheesecloth bag and removedbefore bottling the pickles. Grapeleaves improve the colour of cucum­bers, and make a good covering for pickles in a crock. Alum, often used to make cucumbers firm—should not be used in excessive quantities. Common cooking salt provides a a good brine, and a desired solution is made with soft, rather than hard , water.

Confederation Life Sales Up This Year New issued business of Confeder­ ation Life was 50 per cent greater in August, 1941, than in the same month last, year,, according to C, D. Devlin, assistant general manager.^ Buying has risen sharply in recent months. Sales for nine months of 1941 already are seven per cent higher than in the same period of 1940. "There are at l<;a»t two major rea­ sons for" this marked Increase,” ex­ plained Mr. Devlin'.’ “Peak employ­ ment at good wages is enabling tiiou- sands to catch up on their life insur­ ance needs. Another reason is that citizens, paying heavy taxes and supporting whole-heartedly Canada's war savings program are turning to life insurance as the most effective method of creating an immediate es­ tate to protect their families.” H. Grant Small, Ingersoll, is the repre­ sentative in this district for the Con­ federation Life.

In addi­ tion, hundreds of tons of vegetables are being grown on railway enbank- ments throughout the country. The Southern Railway alone have 13,000 allotments covering an area of 600 acres. Even densely populated London has found room for over 38,000 allotments, while in the fameus parks of the Metropolis an additional 350 acres are being farmed for food crops and 600 acres set aside for sheep grazing. London’s railwaymen are cultiva­ ting 2,700 of these allotments, cov- RECORD MEDAL YEAR London’s Royal Mint expects to turn out more medals in the year following the present war than at anyperiod in its history: and in an aver­ age year it strike* some 34,000 of them and of decorations of all kinds. The Mint has been doing that con­ tinuously since 1643 when Charles I instituted the Forlorn Hope Badge. Meanwhile they are busy making not only the decorations awarded during the war to the fighting servi­ ces but the George Crosses and George Medals now for the first time in history awarded for valour to civ­ ilians. It was the King himself who de­ cided that the ribbon, which is blue, for the George Cross should ce 'wid­ ened to the same length us that of the Victoria Cross. Th monarch chooses all ribbons, and always has done so. He is assisted by a commit­ tee to make sure that a design has not already been used either here or by a foreign power. The rainbow hues of th? Victory Medal ribbon, -now familnr through­ out’ the Empire, are the result of the deliberations of an inter-allied committee > who sat to think out a ribbon incorporating the colours of all the allied nations concerned in the l»st war.

O T T A W A WEEK BY WEEK. , — by Dean W'lson — CANADA'S ATTITUDE TO RUSSO-GERMAN WAR It is apparent now along Parlia­ ment Hill that Canada's attitude to­ wards Soviet Russia has changed considerably since the start of the Russo-German war several weeks ago, though officially nothing has been done to indicate this fact. Nevertheless, the sympathy of tho Canadian Government is definitely on the side of Russia, with a remark that diplomatic relations between this country and Russia have not been resumed for the simple reason that Canada has' not had any repre­ sentative in Russia for some years now and Russia has had none in Ot­ tawa during the same period. The British Embassy in Moscow has acted Us intermediary duping the last few y rs. While it is true that Commun­ ist** and Communism have not been subject to any extensive attention on the part of the authorities since the start of the Russo-German war, yet this is not attributed to a lack -of zeal on the part of these officials but rather to the simple fact that subversive actio.ns have not been taken by Whe Reds ever since their sympathy has gone wholly in favour of the Allies in their struggle against the dictators of Europe. Moreover, well-informed quarters in the capital believe that, if aid to Russia is sought by the Allies in commodities or supplies that this country can furnish,.there would-be no real ob­ stacles to the complete fulfilment of such a‘policy. RATIONS AND GASOUNE CONSUMPTION It is indicated in Ottawa that the Government’s .appeal for conserva- tityi of gasoline and oil for at least 6U per cent has brought forth good results in some directions but "spotty” reaction jn others, with future actions of a restrictive nature depending entirely on developments in coming weeks. When it is remem­ bered that it requires 3,800 gallons '<•/ gasoline for a single bomber to go from London to Berlin and re­ turn, the need for conservation mufct • be obvious, Furthermore, while it is o right that autumn motoring -is less than in summer, yet., farmers will use, m re for their tractors in plough­ ing, threshing, and other essential operations. Therefore, the Govern­ ment may have to take certain courses of action -soon to curb heed-- less use, of gasoline and oil by the general public in order to preserve supplies for needful purposes, if the' man-in-the-*lreet does not co-oper­ ate better than in the past. PREMIER MACKENZIE KING and HIS WORK OVERSEAS In this challenging and changeful period of democracy when verbal brick-throwing ofi political deaden is the most popular pastime and when everybody reenu to be complain­ ing about {omebody or somathing in Ottawa, it. ia with a degree of axul- tauon and- Inspiration that this vet­ eran ‘imtlI-impartial observer can're-, port iftrw* that' Prime' Jointst or Mac­ kenzie's Ring's visit to the Mother-, lapd has.imparted new rtrvngth, real h"pef driving power, and an indomit­ able spirit beyond measure to the whole war effort of this country as viewed along Parliament HUI Al- cbuld not do otherwise without re­ vealing some war secret. His close personal friendship with President Roosevelt of the United States is well-known both in Ottawa and Washington. This brought about the famous Kingston Declaration when President Roosevelt stated that "the United States will not stand by if domination of Canadian soil is ever threatened by any other empire”; this brought about the historic Og­ densburg Declaration which provid­ ed for the formation of the perman­ ent joint board of defence; this brought about the Hyde Park Dec­ laration which mobilized the joint resources of Canada and the United States for utmost aid^^ZBTitain; this brought about to some extent the sensational Roosevelt-Churchill con- fcrence at sea. In other words, ever since the start of this war, Canada’s Prime Minister has been a sort of liaison between the United States and Britain. It should be obvious why he could not go to the Motherland any sooner than he did since he had to postpone his trip until after the •Roosevelt-Churchill conference, with the British Prime Minister naturally preferring to discuss personally with the Canadian Premier those vitalphases of his conference with /Resi­ dent Roosevelt which were not cov­ ered by their joint declarations. There is a large section of public opinion in Canada which does not seem to understand that visits to London by the head of the Canadian, Government does not determine this natioh's policies, though of course it may influence such decisions. Even in the last war, the visits to London of Sir Robert Borden as Prime Minister did.not determine the Canadian policies. They did have a great persuasive influence. Since that conflict Canada's autonomy in peace and war has been fully established. It is not the Prime Minister who de­ cides the nature, extent, or method of execution of Canada's war effort, but it is decided by the people through their parliamentary represen­ tatives in Ottawa. It is recognised'in authoritative eir-, cles on Parliament Hill that no mem- ber of the Adminib* ration has ever hesitated to cross the cean f&f consul­ tations with British leaders with- thought of personal risks or strain. So far in this war no less than about half of the Federal Cabinet have visited the Motherland, including the late Norman Rogers, Hon. T, A. C re rar, Hon. C, G. Power. Hon. Ian Mackenzie, Hon. J. L. Ralston, J. G. Gardiner, Hon. C. D. Howe, Hon. Angus Macdonald, and the Prime Minister, with the latter not hesita­ ting to cross the ocean on several previous occasions on official busi­ ness, such askto attend an Imperial Conference, a League of Nations meeting, tha Coronation, ete^ Though he had never before in his ' life made'an airplane flight, yet he was the first Prime Minister or Can­ ada to fly kero as the Atlantic Ocean. When Premier King attended a meeting of the British War Council in London, tha story was revived in regard to the formation of an Im­ perial War Cabinet. This, too. was unfounded because not only have at least .two members of the Canadian Cabinet sat in such meetings on pre­ vious occasions, but neither Premier Churchill, nor any of his ministers have supported such a move. More­ over, such a plan has not been fav­ oured by the Dominions, with no such sentiment existing in Australia, New Zealand, or Canada, and with South Africa being definitely against it. The present system is favoured. It is a system* of consultation and co-operation between the British War Council and the various Dom­ inions. Finally, the effect has been pro­ duced on the public mind that Prem­ ier King’s visit or work overseas, in part at least, has been shrouded in dark obscurity at the moment with possible secret purposes. This view­ point is not upheld in well-informed quarters because though some details of a highly confidential nature can­ not possibly be revealed at this time yetZthere is not real mystery about the trip itself and the consultations which have taken place. Premier King wanted to have an opportunity to obtain first hand war information and to consult British leaders on grave war possibilities which may be changed suddenly to certainties. He wanted to discuss certain aspects of the historic dioosevelt-Churchill con­ ference at sea. He wanted to study the whole question of Canada’s war effort to ascertain its adequacy and its sufficiency, especially m regard to war production, war credit or fin­ ance, trade and economic problems, etc. He wanted to learn about the effects of France’s entry on the side of the totalitarian powers, in full collaboration with them, since there is a representative of this Govern­ ment in Ottawa, with Canada alone of all the Dominions giving diplom­ atic representation to the Vichy Gov­ ernment, He wanted to know about the Russian campaign against Hitler­ ism and what Canada should do tn this' case. He wanted to get first hand information about the extreme­ ly serious Far Eastern situation, es­ pecially in so far as Canada was con­ cerned. He wanted to inspect per­ sonally the Canadianvforces overseas. Briefly, it was not a fixed br restrict­ ed agenda or programme but rather a general observation of the whole war picture in order to discover how best Canada’s effort can be fitted into it.The Prime Minister of Canada made quite clear why he went to the Motherland when he stated: “There is oqly one mind in Canada and it is to do all we can to help winning the war. Canada is at the side of Britain to the utmost of her strength in re­ sources, both material and human.” "It should be apparent to the man- in-the-etreet throughout this country what the Premier of Canada implied by this statement in the superlative language, and though gloomy, tongue- twisted prophets may b$ una.ble to see anything yet well-informed and balanced observers in .the capital know that it can mean but one -thing, that is a supreme war effort in all directions will result from ’he Prime Minister's visit overseas, with Can­ ada's contribution being in proper- tion to the needs of<the democracies in their life-and-death struggle against the dictatorships.— (Repro­ duction Prohibited.) “You're a pretty sharp boy, Tom­ my.” “Well, I ought.to be, Ta strops' me three or four times a week.

CONTINUOUSADVERTISING John Wannamaker, founder of the John Wannamaker Store, Philadelphia, was the first ad­ vertising genius in the retail advertising field. In addition to theWiovelty of his advertis­ ing, he kept persistently at it: He said once: “Continuous advertising, like continuous work, is moat effect­ ive. If there is any enter­ prise in the world that a quitter should leave alone, it ia ad­ vertising. Advertising doe* not jerk, it pulls. It begins very gently at first but the pull is steady. It increases day by day, year after year, until it • exerts an irresistible power. To discontinue your advertising ia the same as taking down your sign. If you want to do buxi­ ne m, you must let the public know H, I would a* soon think of doing business without clerks as without advertising."

Any one can enjoy this fun with­ out a camera, but verily to go and return without having made a pic­ ture-story of your visit seems as useless as trying to write a bookabout it with water for ink. When you have finished, your memory hiay retain some of it for a time, but eventually you remember little else than the fact that you went there. Years later you will say, “Yea, J had a good time that summer,” but what did you do, whom tfere you with, what did you see? Bet a mil­ lion that with nothing in your snap­ shot album to show for it, you will remember scarcely anything of thedetails of that good time, and re­ gretfully wish you could. Another reason for taking your camera to the lake or seashore is that where water is, with its brightreflections, you have exceptional chances for making fine pictures. Usually by the lake or seashore, even on cloudy days you have mor£ light to work with than inland. The extra light’gjves you opportunity to “stop down” (use a smaller lens op­ ening) and thereby obtain sharp, clepr-cut details. Also there is no better place for interesting action pictures than a summer resort Except for thebeach itself and the hotels, cottages and wharves, everything seems to be in motion. Of course, if you want close-ups of fast action you should be equipped with a fast camera, but don’t forget that splendid work with many water scenes is done with an inexpensive fixed focus camera. If it is rapid motion such, as an ap­ proaching mofbsboat, shoot from anangle at a distance of 75 to 1 Chi feet and usually yoa get it without blur.' Then have as enlargement made when you get home. “ • 333 .
