India is approximately ' 2,000 miles from north to south and the same distance froi* east to west, an area equal-to that of Europe with the exception of Russia. India is inhabi­ ted by many different ty«es of people with various backgrounds and is no longer a backward country inhabited by inferior people, but instead the people are endeavoring* to reach a higher standard of living. In the past India has contributed much in the field of science, philoso­ phy and the arts. Its influence was parried Jo China and Japan even be-, lore ChriSuunity. • its scholars were present in Greece at the foundation of its culture. Now India is contribu­ ting to the successful conclusion of the,present conflict. It has an army of one million men and has a monthly increase of 40,000 voluntary enlist­ ments for the past twelve months. 50 f.( of its Officers ate Indians. Its army;is spread from Lybia, Iran, Iraq, Malay, Singapore to Hong Kong. Y India has industrialized to meet the war reqircment*. It has 400 mdern textile mills producing clothing, tent .end awning material. There are also numerous jute mills making sand bags. It is the eighth leading indus­ trial nation in the world. It possesses •ill its own natural resources, fndi* is the third in potential electrical power, It ha- the largest single steel mill employing 50,000 men and -•quipped with the most modern machinery producing one million tons of steel per year.

On December 21st, 1891, Miss Alice Jane Thornton, daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. Richard Thorn­ ton, East Nisouri Township, was married to William Crellin, son of the late Mr. and Mrs. John Thomp­ son Crellin, also of East Nissouri Township. The ceremony was per­ formed at the home of the bride’s parents, by Rev, Mr. Sabine, minis­ ter of the Kintore Methodist Church. Following their jnarriage Mr, and Mrs. Crellin took up residence in the village of Kintore, where Mr. Crellin worked with^his father as a stone mason and brick layer. He has followed this trade for over fifty years, and for a time also oper­ ated a hardware store at Kintore which was gutted by fire. ItT 1919, Mr. and Mrs. Crellin and family moved to Ingersoll from Kintore and have made their home here continuously since that time. For several years, Mr. Crellin did considerable work as a contractor and builder, but of late years has been associated with the insurance business, working through Robert McNiven. Mr. Crellin is 71 years of age, and was born in West Zorra near Harrington. Mrs. Crellin is 68, and was born in East Nissouri. Both are enjoying good health. Mr. Crellin is particularly .well known through- ou the surrounding district and is a Past Grand Master of the Canadian Order, of Odd Fellows and* is a Past President of the Big Eight Society. They have four children, Clifford W. Crellin, Ingersoll; Mrs. Hugh McLeod and Mrs. James Murray, Ingersoll and Mrs. Ernest McNally, St, Thomas; six grandchildren, Har­ old and Alice Crellin; Billy and Carol Murray and Laverne McLeod, Ingersoll, and Mrs. Lloyd Moore, St. Thomas, also one great gran daugh­ ter, Carole Ann Moore, St, Thomas. A golden wedding dinner was served at their home on Sunday at noon.whqn they were, at home to inembers of their family. They were the recipients of two lovely occas­ ional chairs from their brothers and sisters and numerous other gifts from relatives and friends as well as flowers, messages and telegrams of congratulations. Mr. and Mrs. S. H. Chaxabe--fain, 289 Hall street, have receiv'd the sad news from the Canadian Casual- ities Officer in London, England, that their second youngest son. No. J15078, Pilot Officer Gordon Arthur Chamberlain is reported missing aa a result of air operations on Dec­ ember 16th, 1941. A cable ha- also been received from tho commanding officer o f' Pilot Officer Chamber-* Iain's squadron, giving the same in­ formation and stating that any fur­ther information received^rill be communicated to his parents imme­ diately and making the request that if any news of him should reach them from any other source, the De­ partment should be. informed. This is the first Ingersoll man to be reported missing in the present war. Pilot Officer Chamberlain was 26 years of age and •before enlisting was employed for nearly six years with the Slawson Cheese' Company here. He went overseas in April and it was only ten days ago that he cabled home the news of his pro­ motion from Sergeant Pilot to the rank , of Pilot Officer.

THURSDAY, DECEMBER 25th, 1941 Unemployment Insurance Commission The importance of consulting your local Employ­ ment and Claims Officer when there is doubt as to whether or not any worker or group of workers is insurable was emphasized recently by Mr. R. E. Poste, Manager of the local Employment and Claims Office, Woodstock. According to Mr. Poste, some employers are mak­ ing their o’wn decisions as to the insurability of their employees. Mr. Poste stated that rulings have been made al­ ready by the Commission in a large number of spec­ ial cases. It is essential that these rulings be fol­ lowed in every case where they apply because bene­ fit is not payable if- contributions have been made on behalf of a worker when engaged in an employment which is not insurable. Further it is important that such special cases should be determined with the least possible delay. Mr. Poste revealed that certain .employers who had erroneously eMcepted some of their employees in the first instance, later tried to correct the error by deducting contributions from wages retroactively. This again is contrary to the Act, Only current con­ tributions may be deducted from a worker’s wages. If an employer neglects to register insurable employees, he makes himself liable for Ifflth his own and the workers’ back contributions. Still another error has arisen in many special in­ stances where the Commission's rulings were not obtained, Mr. Poste asserted. It is in connection with collection of contributions for “broken periods.’’ It should be understood that either five or six days may represent a full week’s work for an employee. De­ ductions in such cases should be made oh a full weekly basis. In certain special cases, where employer and employee are in agreement, a four-day week may also represent a full week’s work. Contributions for less than a week, however, should be made on a daily basis. For example, if a worker earns an average of $5.00 day for three days’ work in insurable employment, his class of contribu­ tion will be the same as a worker who earned $30 for h full six-day week (Class 7 of the 2nd schedule of the Act.) But the contribution would’be only three-sixths of the contribution, for a full week and not six-sixths. Similarly for one or two days, the contribution would be one-sixth, or two-sixths, re­ spectively. In cases where the employee works for less than a week and is not paid on the same basis for each day he works, his weekly earnings for contribution purposes may be calculated by multiplying-his aver­ age daily earnings for the period by six. The same rule applies to employees working less than the ordinary number of hours which normally constitute their regular working day. For these, a daily stamp, the class of which is determined by the money earned in the days worked, should be placed in the insurance book for each day on which work is done,» For example, a man works two hours on Monday, eight hours on Tuesday and four hours on Wednesday and is paid 40c an hour.. His earnings for the three days are therefore $5,60 and his aver­ age daily earnings $1.87. Multiplying $1-87 by six, places his earnings in Class 3. Three-sixths pf a 43c weekly stamp should be affixed and nine cents deducted from the man's earnings. The Christmas Seal Campaign Mr. Arthur Fori, .Chairman of the OirisUnas Seal Committee of Queen Alexandra Sanatorium, London, in an interview gave some interesting facta regarding the 1941 campaigfi. In former years it has not usually been until after the first of the New Year that individual cities, towns, or counties, reach or pass,, the amount contri­ buted in former years, but this year at the, eighth opening of mail, on December '"13th, three Huron County centres—Exeter, Clinton and Seaforth, and one county, Kent—had the honor of being the first to pass last year’s amount and each place gives promise of a fine increase before the close of the Campaign. The larger cities—Sarnia Chatham^ St. Thomas, Woodstock,'Stratford and London, have so far sub­ scribed tjl'l of last year’s total-*. In the smaller efnttevMioderich, St Marya, Inger­ soll, Tilhonb’urg, Aylmer, Dutton, Wallaceburg, Petrolia, Forest, Strathroy. Listowel and Mitchell, a higher average than in the cities 'hau been noted— -82”, having already beert contributed. In the remaining counties of Lambton, Elgin, Ox­ ford, Perth, Huron and Middlesex, 73% has been received. • In the compete campaign—17th November to 31st of Jahuary—there are usually twenty opening* of mail and as the above ffautes are baaed on the eighth ajx ning, dated 13th Xfacember, the Cnnmittre ,>f*efa confident that each sad every city, town, and ’ county, will mor* than peat last year's figures, thus enabling the Sanatorium to meet the increased de- •wands which the war ia bound to make on the insti- tetton end its Travelling Clinics.

WAR ON THE HOME FRONT —By Bruce M. Pearce — LOOKING BACK 25 YEARS From the &Hes of The Oxford Tribune, Ingersoll, Canada, Thursday, December 28, 1916 W. H. McCreery spent Christmas at his home in Windsor. Miss Nellie Hughes of Goderich, is visiting at her home here. John Adair of Toronto, is spending the week with his mother. * , Clinton Beck of Hamilton, is at his home here for the holidays. that more raw materials may go into war production for the armed forces, to accept fewer line* of merchan­ dise, to economize, to buy War Sav­ ings Certificates. Eaeh by doing his or her part is aiding to prevent tha government's expenditures on tha * sinews of war from rising to pro­ hibitive figures. Each fa helping to circumvent an enemy who would de­ preciate the life savings, insurance policies, the investments, the salaries and wage of our people. It is a battle which can be won, which must be won and which will be won if each accepts a front-line position in the fight. “The price ceil- inging must be maintained*’ is the order of the day from Headquarters. The people’s army alone can assure that it will be. Two crack billiard flayers were playing an exhibition game for the benefit of the soldiers of the camp. Saidd one spectator" to the other: “What is the name of this game?” “Billiards,” replied thd other. ‘ “Oh,” said the other, “then what do you call that game we play at the club?” Miss Roma Ackert of Hamilton, visited in town over the week-end. Frank Peck of Toronto, visited at his home in Sal­ ford for the holidays. Miss Clara tearing of Appin, is spending the holi­ days at her home in Banner. The Generals do not minimize the astounding array pf^new and unex­ pected problems confronting them. They are burning the midnight oil at Ottawa, pondering and pronounc­ ing upon a thousand complex issues. They arc ready to make every per­ sonal sacrifice, many of them with­ out monetary compensation of any kind, to the cause of victory and they ask only that every private in the ranks gird himself or herself for the conquest of a redoubtable en­ emy. CONSTRUCTIVE SUGGESTIONS WELCOMED Yes, it is war! The command is that the retail price ceiling must be maintained at all costa. As in any army there will be grousing and grumbling. The General Staff gladly welcomes suggestions and advice of a constructive nature, that may conduce to victory. At the same time expects all loyal Canadians to “play the game.” This is the chance for which most civilians have longed, to do something to aid the Empire in the battle for survival. This is the opportunity for everyone to make a sacrifice, to do without some desired commodity in order Miss Helen Brown of Sayre, Penna., is the guest of her sister, Mrs. T. N. Dunn. Mr. James Boyes of the London Medical School, was at his home in Putnam for Christmas. Miss Helen M. Kirwin of the Ursaline Convent, Chatham, is spending her holidays with her parents, Oxford street.

The resulting combat will be felt in every city, town and village in the Dominion, in every township and back concession in the most re­ mote parts of the country. Another army is on the march— this time an army of twelve million Canadians,—on the march against a foe that would wreck Canada’s ec- nomy and deal her contribution to Empire^ defence a 'blow as deadly as a major defeat by the Nazis. The war is declared, as of Decem­ ber 1, 1941, against spiralling prices, against the haunting sceptre of in­ flation. Cause of the war is too much money in consumer's hands for the available supply of goods. WEAPONS FOR NEW WAR Weapons in this gigantic struggle will not be guns, planes, tanks and bombs. They will consist of vigil­ ance, self-abnegation, compromise and the Golden Rule. We have just come from General Headquarters where we heard the General Staff map out the plan of campaign in a masterly way, a plan for which no blue-print existed, an attack over a No Man’s Land hith­ erto untrod. The Commanders are resolute in their determination that the plan will succeed, not just for a sortie but for attainment of the final ob­ jective. It must succeed, they aver, or we are licked in more ways than one. Every last Canadian is being re­ cruited for this fight-to-a-finish. There will be no uniforms, no brass band, no tinsel or glamour in this battle. Just a niche in the civilian army that is pointing to win the greatest battle on the home-front. The enemy is no phantom, but a real and potent figure. He may be easily discerned in the rising price of nearly every commodity being sold in Canada, which, until Ottawa took a hand threatened to get completely out of control, as seen in the 16 per cent increase in cost of living since the war against Hitler­ ism began. The declaration of war estab­ lishes an absolute ceiling on prices of all kinds, with a very few except­ ions, a< they existed during basic period, September 15th to October 11th, 1941. The exceptions are for inevitable seasonal functions as in the case of fruits and vegetables. The clarion call comes to all Canad­ ians to <?nsure that this ceiling will not be punctured. GORDON OFFICER COMMANDING Headquarteis staff in this war is the Wartime Prices and Trade Board of Ottawa. Officer Command­ ing the army is Donald Gordon, dy­ namic 4 0-year-old Scotsman, who is directing an assault such ak no country’ in the world has hitherto at­ tempted. There are other Scotsmen on the Staff. There are keen young business men, some of them under 40 years of age. They are top-flight business, industrial and agricultural leaders. High-ranking civil servants, too, are members of the General Staff, the men who will be Co-ordin­ ators and Administrators of price control. Their Officer Commanding has communicated to, his adjutants much of his own enthusiasm for the battle and confidence in the outcome. He declares that Canada’s contribution to the downfall of Hitler will be the greatest of any nation if uttrhome- front battle succeeds. “And succeed it will” is the pronouncement of this brawny, determined Scotsman, Re­ tail price ceiling* must and will be maintained. -Ueutenants-Colonel in the field leading Canada's new army on the battlefront will be thirteen promin­ ent Canadians for as many battle sones across the country. They are regional Prices and Supply Repres- relative* appointed to their com- * taands by Headquarters. Each will have hb own staff of Majors and Captain^ to carry out iniqxttion and enforcement and to arbitrate dis­ pute*. They will have their Dtvfakm- al Headquarters fa strategic centres across Canada, where they can wage ! unrelenting warfare against the ’ comfaon foe throughout the terri- lory assigned to them. Each province will have one such Headquarters, ex­ cept for Ontario nad Quebec, which, owing to their greater population, will have respectively four and two offices.xjieadquarters staffs heading up the home-front battle will aggre­ gate more than one thousand men and women. The total may. rise to 2,000 as the battle develops. Lieutenants in the new army are the thousands of retailers, hundreds of wholesalers and innumerable manufacturers across the country. They expect smaller profits, thej) will have to reduce overhead, cut down on varieties of production and economize all along the line. A new era of co-operation will be ushered into commercial transact­ ions fii Canada, with each party being expected to bear his fair share of the “squeeze” resulting from the price ceiling. The retailer may be hardest hit for the moment, but all must share the burden equally in .the long run, CONSUMER WILL DECIDE OUTCOME But in the final analysis it will be the private in the rank, the average Canadian man and woman, the con­ sumer, who will decide She outcome of this herculean struggle. In the van, leading the frontal and flank attack, will be the millions of house­ wives who do most of the buying for Canadian homes. They can make or break price control. Their sincere co-operation and unremitting vigil­ ance arc indispensable to the cam­ paign’s success. Every household must needs get along with smaller quantities and fewer varieties of goods of all kinds, consumable and otherwise. Indeed rationing may an inevitable concomitant of the master-plan of attack. Not easily ours will be the verdict. Replete with obstacles, pitfalls, Is the battle-ground over wihch Can­ ada’s new army commenced to move on December 1st. ‘‘No easy hopes or lies will bring us to our goal,” but only stem determination, unwaver­ ing faith and relentless prosecution of the offensive. Barbed wire en­ tanglements never presented an army with such a formidable barrier as-do the complications barring the way to victory over runaway prices. Scrap Iron Steel and Metals J.

A large number of “shorts” are also on their way. Among other plans -for keeping up the output of British films, now threatened by service calls on stars, technicians and studio space, is a “pooling” scheme, to’ allow all these facilities to be shared out among the various producers. Moreover, the leading American film compan­ ies hope to make films in Britain with their own technicians, and ap "unfreeze” the credit, worth about £5,000,000, they have built up there from film book receipts. PlCOBAC FOR A MILD, COOL, SMOKE WOMEN OF U.S.A. Beautiful old lace which once belonged to four Queens of England is part of the collection flown by bomber to the United States for the benefit of a British war charity. The Queen herself presented to it a bridal veil believed to be worth. £4,000. Queen Mary ,*ent some lovely pieces, inclu ding examples of the lace for which England to re­ nowned and a deep flounce of point de gaze which belonged to Queen Alexandra. There were gathered for the collection rare Valenciennes, once worn by Queen Charlotte, Ven­ etian point lace that graced the gowns of Marie Antoinette, beauti­ ful pieces of point de Flandres, Brussels, Irish, Chantilly, point de’ Alencon and England’s own Honl- ton. These ‘ heirlooms, offered for sale at the British Embassy, Washington, in the presence of Mrs. Roosevelt and Lady Halifax, were collected by Lady Smith-Dorrein, widow of the famous General. With Queen Mary’s approval she launched an appeal to Englishwomen which resulted in the prompt receipt of no fewer than 1,800 parcels of priceless lace, val­ ued at many thousands of poulfd*. All the gift were repaired where necessary in the Royal School of Needlework under Lady Smith-Dor- riens supervision, some to be sold as they were, some in the form of tablecloths, table mats and bed­ spreads.

HENRY OGDEN/ BeMwa* 9—»R.i / MM w —4 Cramiaw 1 PVmm M laa.r.aM Brijatn is throwing a whole rail­ way iinto the mobilisation of iron and steel for the war. Although it is an old railway, its rails alone will add to the resources of Britain enough steel for no fewer than 384,000 rifles. Until 1937 the trains of the Welsh Highland Railway chugged over'some of the lovliest scenery in the Principality. But in that year it ceased to function and the grass be­ gan to grow along its 28 miles of permanent way. Now the rails, which are modern, are being ta^en up, 1,200 ton# of then). They will be relaid elsewhere | on sidings needed for the war effort, so setting free steel-making capa- acity.for armament manufacture. The two old locomotives are for the dismantler’s yard/ and metal from the rolling stock to for the same destination. , The railway is but'an item in a nation-wide hunt for metal to turn into rifles, Tomy guns and tanks, ipjo armour plate for battleship* and armoured coastal defence*. A Doomsday Book of park, street and house railings, of ancient steam rollers, engines and boiler-house plant is being prepared and already on walls bill* have been posted pro­ claiming the Government’s requisi­ tioning of them. Among the fir»t to respond lias been the King himself with many tons of the railing* of Buckingham Palace for the collect­ ion. ’ A child of 3% is learning to walk again oh an artificial leg made for him* by the people who have been making a new pair for the legless air ace, Wing-Commander Bader. He is a small boy named Ronnie Osmond, who lost a leg only a year or two after he first learned to walk. It was found difficult at first to get Ronnie to put his heart into learning to walk all over again. Then someone in the works had the idea of giving him a miniature walk­ ing stick made of duralumin. Ronnie was fascinated with his little tubular stick and at once wanted to try it. i Now his nurses notice that when walking by himself he will sometimes change the stick from one hand to the other, sure proof that he can walk without it. The makers of the tiny leg are as pleased as he is. They build and fit 5,000 artificial legs’ a year, and Bader, their most famous patient, whose legs have been-supplied and repaired by them since 1934, visited their fitting room only a fortnight before he had to bale out of his machine over occupied France. His new pair of legs have now been Iianded over by the makers of the British Ministry of Pensions, who have flown them to Lisbon for de­ livery through the Internationa] RedCross at Geneva. It will be recalled that w-hen Bad­ er landed-in France he .broke one of his artificial legs and a spare one was flown over the Channel by his R-A.F. comrades. Since then he has escaped for .four days from the prison hospital in which he is held. PLUCKING £8,000 FROM BRITAIN’S HEDGES Between now and December, countrywomen, Boy Scout*, Girl Guide* and school children are 'searching Britain’* hedgerow* and common* for the rich annual crop of hips, the bright-red fruit of the wild rose. It is hoped that 500 tons of hip* will be gathered, to be turned by manufacturer* into a «y- «up, twenty times richer in Vitamin C—which g.ves rratotence to disease tharr orange juice, now very acarce. This quantity will rtteet the requirement* of 2,500,000 babies for a year, allowing 15 drop* of sy. rup a day, for each child. An ounce to enough for one month. The ijiup manufacturer*, will pay two shilling* per eton* for the hips, so that the gatherer* apart from maintaining the health of Britain * babies, -will rem something like £8,000 for their argxnuation* •1) from fruit which normally goe* of Municipal Roads re annual,returns.

( JACK DUNDERDALE (Continued from page 1) • as no distinction is made in the trains or motor buses as the only qualifi­ cation is to possess the stated fare. Thus people of different castes must share the same seat. This new in­ dustrial life has develped a Wen competition for jobs and anyone who hesitates to accept some work which has been shunned by his caste in turn will lose it to a more eager one. This as well has broken the wall of the caste system. . The preliminary census of 1941 shows that India has a population of 400 million or one fifth of the popu­ lation of the -world. Its increase in population is one% per annum. This has prevented a rise in the standard of living. Npxc out of ten live in the rural sertflins yet the country cannot produce enough food for its people and there is thus a great state of poverty. Mr. Dunderdale dealt with the re­ lationship between Hindus and Mo- nammids. He stated that this was not a religious conflict. At one time the Mohammeds were the rulers but the Hindus had taken advantage of Brit­ ish education and thus qualified and equipped themselves to take civd pos­ itions and these they obtained. Pol- - ilical agitators who wished to occupy these same position took advantage of the emotions of the Mohammeds and fired this strife into flames. The speaker also reviewed work of the Y.M.C.A. in India. For­ tunately in post years India has been terved by good leaders fwhose work in turn is producing good leaders. Taking the Y.M.C.A. in Madras as an. example, it has a membership of 1,300 men and 800 boys. These rep­ resent the average proportion of 60% .Hindu, 20% Mohammed and 20% CHRISTMAS REPORTINGERSOLL PUBLIC SCHOOL •The following is a report of the examinations in Ingersoll Public .
