Under the sponsorship of the Ing ersoll Branch of the Canadian Le gion, the choir of Trinity United Church, augmented to 60 voices and with Miss Eleanor Barbrie, vio linist, Mrs. George Smith and Sir. Douglas Martin, vocajista, as assist ing artists, presented last week an evening of fine musical entertain ment in Trinity United Church. This was the second performance of this choir concert given within a few weeks, and the large attendance testified to the- fine quality of the entertainment. The choir, under* the capable leadership of the musical director of Trinity Church, Mr. Ewart Bartley, gave a remarkably varied pro gramme, their numbers ranging from a choral arrangement of the old negro spiritual, “Go Down Moses,” to the “Children’s Prayer”, from the opera, “Hansel and Gret- el”, (Humperdinck). This operatic selection has become familiar to many as the theme of the Ford Sunday Evening Hour, and was very well received. Another very popular number was Kern’s ”01 Man River”, with Mr. Clare Bartley as soloist. “Moon Magic,” a colect ion of three Russian folk tunes, “Come To The Fair”, (Martin), and “The Lost Chord”, (Sullivan), received well deserved applause. A stirring presentation of “Rule Brit annia,” with the audience asked to join in the singing of the last chorus, was splendid as was the concluding number, Stafford’s arrangement of .“God Save the King,” with Miss Mabel Clark as soloist. Mrs. Ewart Bartley and Mrs. Al lan Horton played the excellent two- piano accompaniment for the choir numbers and Mrs. Clare Bartley was at the organ for the concluding three selection. The guest artist of the evening was Miss Eleanor Barbrie, violinist. Miss Barbrie who is a Vancouver girl, is studying at the Toronto Con- -fifervatory of Music, under Kathleen Parlow, acknowledged as the world’s greatest woman violinist. Her se lections were given in three groups, and displayed great talent. Brahm’s lovely “Waltz" and “Adoration”, by Borowski, were particularly ap- predated by the audience. •The'other assisting artists, Mrs. George Smith and Mr. Douglas Mar tin, already popular with Ingersoll audiences, were thoroughly enjoyed. Mrs. Bmith's selections were “MyHeart and Thy' Sweet Voice,” from Samson and Delilah, (Saint-Seans), and “ft Were Not Meant For Me", (Frime), both beautifully given. Mr. Martin chose as his solos, > "Morning1’, (Speaks) and “Mother Machree,” and to both selections gave splendid interpretation. Mr. Ewart Bartley played piano accompaniment for assisting artists. Mr. Fred Funnell expressed appreciation of the Ingersoll Branch of the Canadian Legion to those who had contributed to this excellent program and to the audience for their support. The proceeds of fhe concert are to be sent to the Queen’s Fund. Mrs. W. B.

Proprietor and Editor MEMBER Help For Russian Annies “The courage and sacrifices of the Russian armies in the gigantic struggle now going on have not only earned the profound admiration of the whole denjo- cratic world, but have also created an earnest desire in all sections to send them’all possible aid,” declared J. T. Thorson, Minister of National War Services, from Ottawa.Endorsing the Dominion-wide appeal of the Can adian Red Cross for $500,000 to purchase medical and hospital supplies for the Soviet Union, the min ister said it should be one of the most popular ap peals ever presented to the people of Canada. “I am confident,” ne added, "that this appeal will meet with a ready response and I urge all sections of the Canadian public to support it wholeheartedly. By doing so, we will not only be aiding our awn cause, but demonstrating to our Russian ally our sympathy and admiration for the gallant fight they are waging." . . • In Britain he declared, Mrs. Winston Churchill has announced that the British Red Cross, in addition to its other heavy war responsibilities, is raising $5,000,- 000 for medical aid for Ruasia, while Australia, New Zealand and other parts of the Empire have also started similar appeals. “Individuals and groups in all parts of Canada have urged that a national appeal far Russian aid bo undertaken and the government is pleased that the appeal has been unified under the Canadian Red Cross, whose vast experience in meeting medical needs will ensure that the best possible use of the money is made,” he said. •Job of Controlling Prices The man whbm Canada has picked for the hardest , job of all is Donald Gordon. It is the job of control ling prices. It is the job of preventing inflation. It is the her culean task of putting bands around a bubble before it swells into a bogey. For if that bubble of soar ing prices blew, grew and burst wide open—it would be worse than a mammoth bomb. It would hurt every man, woman and child in Canada, business. It would smash credit, our national fabric. . Beginning December 1st, the It would wreck It would crash , ___.........„ _____ _ _ task of Donald Gordon is to keep that bubble down. Recently named chairman of the Maritime Prices and Trade Board, he has been-charged with the gigantic chore of mairr- Hafaing a price ceiling on all commodities. He.is boss man in a new kind of control which will affect every Canadian producer, manufacturer, merchant and consumer. As a democracy we prided ourselves on giving the prices of most goods and services a free rein. For the first time Donald Gordon’s Board will rigidly ■check them. He will finpose a discipline that will • reach into every business, big or small—retail, whole sale, manufacturing. It will affect seller and cus- • tomer alike. . . Therefore this man who will stand guard over the cash register of Canada is "of great importance to us. He will be at our shoulder every time we spend a dollar, But who I* this Donald Gordon? Few people have ever heard of him. He is not like. Lord Beaverbrook, whom Great Britain picked far ita toughest jobs, a man everyone knew. Few ' knew fam till now except bankers and economists in Ottawa, Now he suddenly looms as a man of intim ate importance to us all, a strotig man chosen far the nation's hardest job. Donald Gordon, just 40, sturdy, as a caber thrower fa his prime, is a six-foot Scot topped with brains. He was born in Dldmeldrum, a village near Aber deen. a Presbyterian of course. His father, a vrtitch- maker, was town clerk. Other members of his family were his mother, two older brothers and two sisters.

Hall of the Ingersoll Public Utilities Com mission is in receipt of a letter from Osborne Mitchell, Secretary of The Hydro Electric Power Commission of Ontario in regards to discourag ing the use of ornamental street lighting and decorative lighting dur ing the Christmas season. In view of this request the Ingersoll Public Utilities Commission will not do any ornamental street lighting as in former years and Hydro users are asked to comply .with the suggest ion of the Ontario Commission. Mr. Mitchells letter follows: “The matter of ornamental street lighting and decorative Christmas lighting, during the coming Christ mas season, has been given careful consideration by the Commission and I have been instructed th ad vice you that, due to the heavy power demands on all systems for the manufacture of war munitions and war supplies, it is expected that the Commission will have consider able difficulty during the months of November and December of this year, in supplying the power and lighting demands of the system, with the exception of Christmas week when the power demands would be reduced on account of the holiday season. “The Commission, therefore, sug gests that ail municipalities should discourage the use of ornamental • street .lighting during the coming Christmas season and should also discourage the use of decorative lighting with the exception of the • period from December 24th to Jan uary 1st, inclusive."

THE INGERSOLL TRIBUNE, THURSDAY, DEC. 4th, 1941 Page 3 Imperial Bank of Canada 67th Annual Report Reviews Industrial and Agricultural Conditions President and General Manager Address Meeting MR. A. E. PHIPPSPreaident, A review of the Canadian businessand economic situation for the past 12months< shows that Canada bears allthe earmarks of prosperity for businessundertakings.Canadian farmers have this yearmarketed a larger volume of producethan in any previous year and farmpurchasing power is reported to haveincreased by 15 per cent or more sincethe war begun. Returns, however,appear to have been unevenly distributed, for the Government has con sidered it necessary to extend substantial assistance to the grain growersof Western Canada and to the livestock raisers in Eastern Canada. The acreage reduction bonuses whichthe Government has agreed to pay the Western wheat farmers are reported to total about $39,000,000. It is now understood that the Government will also compensate those farmers who suffered a relative failure of this year's crop and that additional bonuses will be paid based on the estimated value of a normal crop on the restricted, acreage and the value of the actual crop. These additional bon'uscs are estimated at about $15,000,000. and a recent measure provides for a "farmincome bonus” of 75c per acre on half the cultivated land with a maximumof $150. per farm. This is intended tocompensate the farmer for the current low prices and will probably totalabout $20,000,000.Orders have been placed for 600million pounds of baron for shipmentover 12 months and'it is estimatedthat this will necessitate an increase ofabout 20 per cent in Canadian hogproduction. Cheese, eggs, apples, andtobacco are other products which mustbe made available in increased volumefor shipment to Britain during the t . coming year.’ Conditions in the forestry industriesare generally good.Canadian exports of non-ferrousmetals have increased by about 23per cent during the first nine monthsand the Canadian output of aluminiumhas inervas-d to five times the pre-■ war level, already the third highest inthe world. The steel output for thefirst nine months of the present yearhas been 18.6 per cent over 1946.The construction industry has continued to expand during the currentyear, the total of contracts awarded up to November 1st rising 28 per cent.Canada's electric power requirements have been greatly increased by the industrial expansion of the last two years and while the production as a whole was 15 per cent greater in the first eig^f months of 1941 than for the corresponding period of 1939 the demand still exceeds the supply. The total deposits of all kinds in ■ the Chartered Banks have grown from $3,095 millions at the outbreak of the war to $3,542 million* on 31st August 1941. an increase of $447 millions but imthis connection it should be pointed out that $311 millions of this increasewas due to temporary balances of theDominion Government resulting from the Victory Loan in June.Current loans to the public amountedon August 31 st 1939 to $826 millions.This figlire had grown by August 31st1941 to $1,153 millions, an increase of, $327 m.iliion*. The.se figures indicatethe extent to which the Banks havemet the financial needs of Canada’svast expansion in manufacturing andOther business.s- ^jThe security holdings of the Chartered Bankif’on 31»t August 1941 were$1,698 million* compared with $1,508’ millions on 3J*t August 1939. Thetotal assets d the Chartered Banksfor 3!st August 1941 amounted to $4.03! million* compar'd with $3,548 millions in August 1939, and $2,962 millions in August 1935, From these , figures it would appear that the’ r Government of Canada' should not' have undue d'lficuky in floating whatever loans may be necessary to MR. H. T. JAFFRAYGeneral Manager, said in part: A year ago I told you that duringthe duration of the War it would be thepolicy of your Directors and theAfanagcmcrit'to keep the affairs of theBank in a liquid condition in order tobe ready tq meet any calls that mightbe made upon us in connection withCanada’s Industrial War Effort orDominion Government financing. Thispolicy has been carried out. Deposits by the Dominion Government, by Provincial Governments andby the public now total $179,929;434.compared with $165,453,751. a yearago—an increase of $14,475,683. Thisincrease is distributed—$3,400,000. inbalances due to the Dominion Government: $1,900,000. in balances due to Provincial Governments; $6,400,000. in deposits by the public not bearing interest and $2,600,000. in deposits bythe public bearing interest. I ,think under each heading you will agree that the increase is satisfactory, particularly so in the item of what we commonly call Savings DeposRs as it was largely from this class that heavy withdrawal* for investment in the Victory Loanlast summer were made. Current Lodns and Discounts inCanada which now total $79,609,294.as compared with $67,878,158. anincrease of very close to $12,000,000.—or over 17«. 1 think you may takethis as an indication of the extent to-which yotlr Bank is assisting in thefinancing of those participating inCanada’* War Effort-, and of thegrowth and activity of our businessin general. During the year branches of theBank were opened at Montreal Eastin tile Province of Quebec and Scar- boro in the Province of Ontario.Branches were closed at Timagimi,Ofltario, Richards Landing, Ontario arid-at Bracken in the Province of Saskatchewan. Tile number of our bt-anches now total 196—a decrease of one from a year ago. Shareholders of the “Sink as on Sept. 30th, 1941 numbered 2708—adecrease of two during the year—the average holding remaining un changed at approximately. 25 shares.■6,515 of our shares are held by residentsof the United States—a decrease of 136durihg the year—they are distributedamong 311 shareholders. ThiFstaff of the Bank as on October31st, 1941, totalled 1,560 an increaseof 79 during the year. These figure*do not include 317 member* of ourstaff on active service who have beengranted leave of absence for the duration of the War on the basis that Ioutlined a war ago. The numberrepresent* 26,6% of our entire male staff at the outbreak of the War. I afhsorry to say that four, of them havelost their lives. The places of all these men have to a great extent been filled by the appointment of girls: Of our total staff the lady members now number 662 or 42 %. This includes 478 appointments for the Duration of the War. On$e more I would like to record mvappreciation of the manner in which the older member* of the staff havefaced the responsibility of traininginexperienced assistants and seeingthat the work i» kept up to date inevery way, a ad the he jvy volume ofadditional work resulting' from WarSavings Certificates, Victory Loan andother war dctivitlei handled smoothly and efficiently. I think I can justlysay that in no particular has our service to the public deteriorated. It has become apparent that the greatest danger facing our Canadian economy is the danger of inflation. Our Government has taken steps tofix prices and control wages,—We are. entirely in accord, it is necessary—and judging by the calibre of the menthat have been placed in charge I feelconfident it will be done. The baa conductor handed back shilling to the woman passenger, The coin is no good," he told her. “It is spurious." “Ridiculous!”’ she said, examin ing the coin. “Why it's dated 1021. It would have been noticed before this if it had been bad."
