P. M. Dewan, Ontario Minister of Agri­ culture has asked Agricultural Representatives in the various counties to take the lead in organizing com­ mittees for war purposes only; "When suoh organization is completed, any com­ mittee.’ that art- formed will be in a position to ad­ vise and act regarding local conditions particularly, and also advise upon provincial and national prob­ lems as-required,” said Mr. De wan. “Through their local contact they will be able to co-operate with any and all groups and departments interested in the production of food products.” "The Agricultural Representative will become the active government agency in this work and it will have pri'cedence over all other activities in the calls upon his time. The Department is convinced t the urgency of the situation demands this and ap­ peals for the co-operation of all farmers throughout the province,” Mr, Dewan declared. War conditions have made' imperative gigantic Canadian agricultural production in 1942, with a call for export of COO,000,000 pounds of bacon; 125,000,000 pounds of cheese (mostly from On­ tario); one million cases of eggs and large quantities of processed milk. Under normal farm labor- conditions, Canadian farmers’would not find too niuch difficulty in filling even these huge contracts, but an acute labor shortage means that all farm mechanized equipment must be put to maximum use as well as proper orgnization of all available labor. Community, township and county organizations could be of untold assistance in organizing and ad­ vising on this as well as other phases of crop pro­ duction this,year, Mr. Dewan states. Health Education For Dominion In an article in the United Church Observer, Dr. Gordon Bates, General Director of the Health League of Canada, has called upon the federal gov­ernment to assume leadership in a national* health’ education campaign, to call regular conferences with the Provinces, and to plan carefully specific health programs on a national scale. Dr. Batas. in his article, argues that neglect of the problem of national health costs the Dominion government nothing. He points out that costs of sickness are borne by the provinces, not by the Federal government. He states that Ottawa would be swifter to act if the provinces dumped the? cost of sickness on to the federal government to pay. But provincial institutions, hospitals, sanitaria, etc., for the care of the sick are kept up by provincial governments. “The present System under which we have nine different health plana, with little or no attempt to deal with any health program on a national scale, is far from satisfactory,” he points out. One province, for instance, ha* achieved some­ thing remarkable in the setting up of a physical fit­ ness program for youth. But little is done in the other provinces along this line. One province has paved a law making it compulsory to pasteurize, all’ milk. But nothing happens in the’ other provinces, where unsafe milk, continues to be.sold. The infant and maternal mortality rate in some Canadian (provinces & good. In others it is disgraceful. Some Canadian eitiea have managed completely* to elimin­ ate diphtheria. But in other centres this dread dis­ ease continues to take its toll in children’s lives. "In our democratic system, the publje has in their power the ability to see that the ideal of national health is achieved,” Dr. Batea said. “Public opinion can be soused. Public opinion can be changed' Pub­jig opinion can determine the policy of a government. ■ Tha time to act. for a - national health program is .NOW Effective thia week, The Oshi w a Time* and The Whiztoy Gazette and Chronicle were- aniaig*mated under the name The TimewGazetie, publishing three times a week, Wartime economy, combined with the common-interests of the two places, motivated the merger, and the new paper should be in a position to serve’the neighboring communities well.

UNUSUAL BANKING IN THESE UNUSUAL TIMES As Canada's war efforts gain length of stride and speed of step, 'business in general reflects added activity and increases in volume. As business increases, banking activity also increases. Our service keeps pace with the requirements of our customers, albeit occa­ sionally they may experience slight delays, owing to war-time depletion of our staff. (More than six hundred members of our staff are already in the Empire’s forces.) By experience, increased effort and up-to-date equipment, we endeavour to compensate for reduced numbers, to avoid delays and inconvenience to our customers, and to conduct all banking trans­ actions, however unusual/with everyday efficiency. *.| The funeral of George Springs!!, whose death oc­ curred on Thursday, was held from his late home, Oxford Avenue on Saturday afternoon to the Inger­ soll Rural Cemetery.

Unemployment InsuranceCommission From inquiries received by reg­ ional and district offices of the Un­ employment Insurance Commission, it is evident that many workers think it will be necessary for them to contribute to the Unemployment Insurance Fund for two years be­ fore they can draw benefits. Mr. R. E. Poste, Manager of the local Employment and Claims office, explained that this is an error. The Unemployment Insurance Act re­ quires that not less than 180 daily or 30 weekly contributions be made, it is necessary, however, that these be made during the two years pre­ ceding the date on ‘which a claim for benefit is made. Another point concerning which there is some misunderstanding, has to do with workers who may be dis­ charged because of misconduct. Such cases are referred to a Court of Referees composed of representa­ tives of employers and employees with a neutral chairman. After hearing the evidence, the Court de­ cides whether or not the insured person shall be disqualified. An appeal from the decision of the Court to the Umpire may be taken at the instance of an insur­ ance officer, or of an Association of employed persons of which the claimant is a member. The claimant himself may also make such an ap­ peal if the decision of the Court is not unanimous, or if he obtains per­ mission from the Chairman of the Court. Should an appeal be taken by an Association, it is required that the claimant shall have been a mem­ ber of the association on the date of his discharge and have retained his membership until the date the appeal shall have been made. If the decision is unfavourable to the worker, he may be disqualified for a period not exceeding six weeks, beginning on a date to be determined by .the Court. This Court is a semi-judicial body. One clause in the Unemployment Insurance Act, specifically exempts from any charge of misconduct; a worker who has been discharged as a result of membership in, or any lawful activity connected with, any association, organization or union of workers. Still another misconception held by many workers is that benefits arc determined by "need” as in the ‘ case of relief. This is- quite incor­ rect. Unemployment Insurance bene­ fits are paid solely because the wor­ ker, while he was employed, paid the required contributions into the insurance fund and conformed to the other statutory conditions. He has paid for protection against un- ’ employment. Benefits are his as a matter of right After an illness extending over six months. Fran­ ces Barker, wife of Howard Tyson, Thames street, passed away on Friday morning, Jan. 5th. For over twenty years she had conducted a millinery store on Thames street She was bom 67 years ago in West Oxford Township and was a member of St. Paul’s Presbyterian Church. The funeral was held .i on Monday afternoon from her late residence to the Harris Street C'emetery. Rev. D. W. Best conducted the services. (-------------- In March, 1877, Waterhouse and Bradbury, then engaged in the Woollen Mill Business, opened a clothing store on Thames street This was later taken over by E. F. Waterhouse and a number of years later was purchased by R. W, Waterhouse. His father, Mr. T.‘ W. Waterhouse took it over about three years ago when his son's ill health forced hia retirement; and ha# operated it with Mr. F. C- Tate as manager. Mr. Waterhouse has’now disposed of the business to Mr. F. C. Tate and his brother, W. G. Tate of Hamilton.

Sth, 1942 Page 3PRICE CONTROL AND THE RETAILER —By Bruce M. Pearce — K1WANIS SPONSOREDBANQUET FOR INGERSOLL MEN ON ACTIVE SERVICE If you were driving an automo­ bile at 60 miles an hour you would not by choice jam the brakes on suddenly. „ However, if you found yourself headed for the brink*bf a precipice you would put them on just as hard as you could rather then plunge to disaster. That rdughly, is what the Gov­ ernment did when it decided upon the Price Ceiling Policy. It saw rapidly rising prices swinging into the disastrous inflationary spiral. Its economic advisers said: “This i share or “roll back’’ the “squeeze.” When he cannot arrange this he is expected to develop matters through the nearest Prices and Supply Rep­ resentative of the Wartime Prices and Trade Board or directly with the Board’s Administrator of . Retail Trade and its Administrator of Wholesale Trade, who have offices in Toronto’s Metropolitan' Building. E. G. Burton, who knows the re­ tail business from a tc i and who is serving the Board without re­ muneration, in the Retail Trade Ad- upswing of prices must be halted now—in its tracks! If you tempor­ ize the battle against inflation will .be lost before you can ever begin to fight it.” So the brakes were applied-j- hard! The highest prices charged in the basic period, September 15th to October 11th, were set as the ceil­ ing. Retailer* Are Co-operating The Price Ceiling Policy meant inconvenience to practically all bus­ iness and industry and losses for many trades and industries. The retailer was in the front line and so was-, among the first to feel the impact of fixed prices. The loyal way in which retailers Hire complying with the law proves they are just us anxious as anyone else to make any necessary sacrifice; they realize as fully as anyone else that inflation would harm the war effort. That is the mainspring of their co-operation They realize too that inflation would bring disaster to many of them. They remember that after the inflation of the last world war small businesses failed by the thousands. In one year there ■were four times as many bankrupt­ cies as in a normal year. ministrator. R. F. Chisholm, another young executive, who is an author­ ity on wholesaling, and who also serves voluntarily, is the Wholesale Trade Administrator. These two ex­ ecutives regard themselves as cham­ pions of a square deal for all parties Their philosophy is roughly this: "You cannot undertake so terrific a job as halting inflation in its tracks without hurting someone. It is our responsibility to see that a normal flow of essential goods is main­ tained and that no one suffers un­ due hardship.” ' g “Rolling Back” the “Squeeze" Suppose a retailer finds himself badly “squeezed’” between his re­ tail selling price and the price he1 has to pay his supplier for goous. His first step should be to take the matter up with his supplier, who may be able to reduce the price to him. Perhaps the supplier will have to go to the manufacturer or im­ porter to get some reduction in his costs^p^fhaps the manufacturer or importer will ’nave to go to the Government for help in the form of a subsidy. But in any event the retailer cannot raise his price—ex­ cept for a few exemptions such as fresh fruit and vegetables, most Lotte* Mutt Be Shared The mechanism of the Price Ceil­ ing Policy provides the retailer with protection from undue hardship. He must of course bear some of the “squeeze" between his ceiling prices and higher replacement ’costa for some of the goods he sells; but he xs not expected to carry more than his fair share of the burden. That is a fuhdamental policy of the Price Ceiling and to safeguard him in this lespeqi. Retail Trade and Wholesale Trade Administrators have been appointed. Whenever possible, the retailer is expected to work out his own arrangements with’ his -suppliers to FULL COURSE MEALS 35c up WHOLESOME FOODS QUICK SERVICE FISH and CHIPS - 20c STAR CAFE 95 Thame*.St. Ingersoll • Phone 497W • kinds of fish, animal pets and furs. So the fetailer should negotiate for a lower price. If he cannot Conduct these negotiations by himself the Wartime Prices and Trade Board’s officials, the Regional' Prices and Supply Representative or the Re­ tail and Wholekble Trade Adminis­ trators. will co-operate to see that everyone gets a square deal. If nec­ essary, they will compel adjust­ ments. On the ground that the first place to look for help is to’ onyself, the Board will expect retailers will take any practical steps to reduce tfreir operating costs. They will (be expect­ ed to cut out unnecessary frills in their operations. So, too, will other businesses all along the line. How­ ever retailers can be sure that they will not have to bear more than their fair share of reduced itacome. This, ] found during my visit in Ogawa; is a fundamental policy of the Wartime Prices and TradeBoard.

Rev, Father Brennan's remarks were of a most inspirational nature. He described a trip last May by ('lipper J*lane from New York to London. England, via Bermuda, the Azure? and Lisbon, and painted a word picture of conditions a* he found them in Great Britain. He described the damage done to the great city of London in the battle of Britain last winter and spring, »nd eulogised the marvellous spirit of heroism displayed by the people >f England and Scotland.

However, the terrible bombings only strengthened the courage of the people of Britain and increased their determination to do everything in their power to stamp out Hitlerism from the world. Rev, Father Brennan said that after seeing for himself the actual conditions following the bombing of London and other points in Eng. land, and of observing certain tar­ get* that had escaped damage and learning of the great fog that pre­ vented a third raid on Londcqf the last day* of HMV he believed that there was a guiding hand of Provi­ dence which forced Hitler to post- .pone hi* invasion of Britain until a time when it would be impossible because of the strength of the de­ fence* that were being continually built up in the British Isles. The speaker described the form of Government that existed in the British Empire and compared thi* w#th the form of rule in Germany and Italy where there was th* dic­ tatorship of the absolute type. “Laws have disappeared in Ger­ many," declared the speaker. “The country is ruled by one man, who enacts his command* by the force* of physics! might and steel.

I congratulate the four who were elected to the council in December. We are very pleased to welcome Mr. Louis J. Martin, a new member to our council table. Although the last two years have been very trying ones for our Em­ pire, they have been prosperous for our town. A great deal of war work has been do*ne in our local factor­ ies, consequently people have had more employment and more money to spend. Taxes have been paid (some better. We have kept the expenses as low as possible and hope to be able to reduce the tax rate again this year. The financial position of the muni­ cipality is one of the best in Canada. We have 'been criticized for not’ doing more, but the municipal board would not give their permission to make any big improvements, invol­ ving much expense during ^ie years of the war. We must kbep the thought of winning the war always before us. We have been asked to play our full part in this.crisis, as mountains can be moved when many willing shoulders get beneath the load. Everyone is asked to do his job, cheerfully and well, making such sacrifices as are necessary, and a great, shout of deliverance will echo around the world. Let us see to it that we all do our share. I should again like to ask for the co-operation of all t^e council mem­ bers that we make Ingersoll a better town in which to live. Wishing you all the compliments of the season, I am, Respectfully yours, J, G. MURRAY, Mayor. Bro. Alfred Hillary and secondedby Bro. Howard S. Asoltine. Thiawas-tendered to RL Wor. Bro.

SHIPPING 142 LOCOMOTIVES Shipments of vital war supplies to Russia are being speeded up by railway and road transport equip­ ment .sent to Iran from Britain.Since* the beginning of September, a total of 142 locomotives and 1,000 wagons have been or are being sent to Iran to strengthen transport facil­ ities, especially on the Trans-Iranian railway. A number of lorries have also been sent and will be operated by the United Kingdom Commercial Corporation. One of the most remarkable rail­ ways in the world, the'Trans-Iran­ ian line pierces mountain ranges in a barren, wild, earthquake stricken country almost inaccessible to most other forms of transport. Many gradients are as steep as 1 in 36, against the normal 1 in 200 and al­ most every known form of tunnell­ ing is used. The building of the 1,000 railway wagons was a great feat for those concerned. Standard gauge 12 ton steel framed, open wagons, their construction was divided- among the various British railway companies. One works eut out the timber parts from logs, another stamped out the metal parte and furnished addi­ tional timber, while the Southern Railway were responsible for the assembly. With a staff of 130 men, 19 boys and 22 women, working in shifts night and day, 50 wagons were completed in 14 days and the whole order of 1,000 in 10 weeks.

INSURANCE MOON A MOON separate parts, was completed every37 minutest BRITAIN’S SEED CROP Great Britain’s extensive sugar beet war crop has been harvested this year'entirely from seed grown at home. Before the war, almost half of the country’s sugar beet seed came from abroad; the war has so developed home production that Britain will continue to support her­ self in sugar beet when peace re­ turns. This'year, with fewer workers and remarkably bad weather, she is producing a larger acreage of all kinds of vegetable seeds than ever before.' The demand 'for them, when every ' householder is “digging”/ where ‘ he can, “for victory”, is without precedent. The >most popular seed is opion, with carrot, beet and parsnip fol­ lowing closely. Moreover, the need for shipping space has caused a n great increase in the sale of seeds for animal feeding stuffs like man­ golds, turnips, swedes and kale. Scientists and Government de­ partments have co-operated with the fanners and distributors in set­ ting up this year’s record for Brit­ ish seed production. GUN SPRAYS PARAFFIN British engineers have invented a new and more efficient way to wash engineering parts, particularly on the aircraft side. It is a compact and self-contained unit from which oil is sprayed from a pistol-type gun. Metal parts needing cleaning are usually dipped in tanks of paraffin eil, or some other solvent, a process which dirties the paraffin. By the new method, the dirt is separated from the paraffin which is continu­ ously filtered by a centrifugal clar­ ifier. The metal parts are put on a per­ forated table and washed with the spray gun. The Used paraffin oil drains through the perforations and a strainer to one compartment of a ‘paraffin • supply tank, coupled to the centrifugal clarifier. The paraffin is pumped to the clarifier, purified and returned by way of the tank and a high-pressure centrifugal pump to the spray gun. , The feature of this cleaning unit, which can easily be carried from one part of the factory to another, is that the impurities are never al­ lowed to accumulate in the paraffin which can be used over and over j again.

Phone 13 The Ingersoll Tribune Betty Jane FentonBride of Russell Adam A quiet wedding took place in the Alisa Craig United Church, parson­ age, on Saturday, January 3rd, 1942. at four o’clock, when the Rev. J L. Blair batted in marriage Betty Jane Fenton, only daughter of Mrs. M. Fenton and the late W. O. Fen­ ton of Putnam, and Rnwll Adam of Windsor, eldest sett of Mr. and Mrs, Arthur Adam, also of Wind- ■Of- The bride was attired in a two- piece dress-in British tan with black acceaaoriea and a dboulderette of Talisman rm" The Uidwnaid. Mint Jean Ctendfstning of Inger­ soll, friend of the bride, ebore a drew of a auuillar abode to that of of the tenfte, with black aeeetesriga and a Acdderrtte’ of Talmaon roam. The groom was attended by hw brother. Pte Ralph Adam of Camp K rden- After a brief beneymoob to pointe went, yawag ewwpio will take up rewd r.-'e :a Wtedaur. Moro than all else, this war is teaching and is, in the near future, going to teach with even greater certitude, the value of the eternal verities. We are apt to look upon our civilization with all its many amenities as steadily progressing; as though it were impossib’e that the things of comfort we take so readily for granted, arc stao,c and unalterable e^c-’pt in the dizection of greater comfort and a greater number of amenities for all, and this in direct contradiction to what history has taught us. Civilizations have flourished and decayed and vanished wholly from our-ken rind yet we know that they tc-o, t|ic peoples of those ancient civiliza­ tions, must have felt that they were progressing; that their comforts and luxuries must of necessity be­ come even greater and more wide­ spread. Why then think that our age is any exception? Why believe that we of all others afe to be spared the ignominy of being supplanted? Why suppose that we, like those others, have come to rely on the material for our well-being, are-to be the first to live and flourish and grow progressively more prosperous and happy by bread alone? Does not the e'dict say that it cannot be done? And yet we are trying it. The true source of happiness has always been, and always must be, the negation of self. It must for­ ever come from the spiritual springs that well up in us, unless dammed by a too great love of the material. Happiness, feverishly sought in the accumulation of wealth, of power, of possessions, is an ephemeral thing. It always eludes us and, like the horizon, keeps ever its distance no matter how we try to overtake it. But those things which mean hap­ piness, true happiness, are always within reach. They are independent of fortune, independent of the loss of the materials. As Howard Spring says in his "Fame is the Spur,’’ "The things worth having in life are few and easy to get, and not to be got by striving; above all truth, wisdom, beauty, justice, are there abosolute, neither to be im­ plemented nor destroyed by the hag­ gling of politicians.v And all this we are going to find out. We arc going to rely more and more on the values within * ourselves; to- take pleasure in simplicity, in beauty that lies all around us, in courage, in unselfishness, in the elemental things that God gave us, in the fredom from the care of too many possessions, both from the individ­ ual standpoint and from the nation­ al. We are going to rely on our­ selves and that strength that each may draw from the Infinite and when we do that, we shall be hap­ pier. Even though we be poor in material wealth, we shall be rich in spirit and so incomparably nearer the ideal that He foresaw when He created us in His own image. BANNER Mr. and Airs. R.
