S. A., §2.00 MAGISTRATE R. G. GROOM ADDRESSED KIWANIS “Morale”, Was The Subject of An Interesting Talk By Ox­ ford County’s Magistrate. Kiwanian Henry I. Stewart, pre­ sident of the Ingersoll Kiwanis Club occupied the chair at the regular weekly supper meeting of the club at the Ingersoll Inn on Thursday evening last. There was an attend­ ance of over 76',< of the members. Robert G. Groom of Tillsonburg, Magistrate for the County of Ox­ ford, was the guest speaker. He was introduced by a fellow lawyer, Kiwanian Royden G. Start. K.C. Magistrate Groom’s subject was “Morale.” He said this was a very hard word to describe but it was used extensively at the present time by the nations at war in refer­ ring to the spirit of their people. He made reference to the words of Napoleon in his march to Moscow when Napoleon suggested that the morale of an army was three times as important as the army’s equip­ ment. In the opinion of the speaker the present war was not only a war for the armed forces but also a war for civilians and it was import­ ant that every citizen play his part. Magistrate Groom traced the fall of Prance and attributed this to a lack of leadership, and the indifference of the people which could be classed as the low morale existing in the country at the time the Germans attacked. Russia was cited as a comparison. This country had to date come through magnificently - and had surprised the entirg world. Time had proven that the Russian sol­ diers and civilians had confidence in »heir leaders. The morale of the people was high and they were de­ termined to fight until the last. The people of Italy were described ns lacking in morale to fight but being forced into battle as tools of Hitler. Magistrate Groom had praise for China whose downtrodden people had held out and battled alone against Japan for a number of years and were now fightisg with Britain. The morale of the people and their great faith in their leader, Chiang Kai Shek and his wife were attributed as the main reason that China was determined to fight on with the hope and confidence that better days are ahead. Three impor­ tant facts stressed by the speaker were that man must have faith in God, faith in his fcllowmen and faith in the future. The example of the faith and confidence the enemies of Hitlerism have In Britain’s great /jrader, Winston Churchill, were at­ tributed as a factor that is proving most valuable in keeping the morale of the allied forces at a high pitch. In his concluding remarks, Magis­ trate Groom urged his hearers to do their part to keep up the morale of the troops and civilians as this was bound . to prove a big factor in eventually bringing victory to the allied nations. Kiwanian Roy W. Green express­ ed the thanks and appreciation of the Kiwanis Club to Magistrate Groom for his splendid address. Byron G. Jenvey Re-elected Chairman Board of Health The organization meeting of the Ingersoll Board of Health was held in the Town Clerk’s office on Fri­ day evening with Byron G. Jenvey, P. T. Fleischer, James N. Hender­ son, Medical Officer of Health, Dr. H. G. Furlong, Public Health Nurse Miss J. Marion McNaughton and Sanitary Inspector John Wilford in attendance.

This is his eighth consecutive year in this of­ fice and in accepting the position- Mr. Jenvey reviewed the work of the Board since he had been asso­ ciated with it. He commended the work of the Sanitary Inspector, Public Health Nurse and Medical Officer of Health and advanced several suggestions for the consideration of the mem­ bers during the coming year. Several matters of routine busi­ ness were attended to and it was decided to request the council that the sum of §2600.00 be provided in the estimates for the expenses of th Board during the year. This is the same amount as in 1941. Members of the Board spoke briefly and reports w’ere given by the Public Health Nurse and the Medical Officer of Health. SERGT. TED LONG IS DECORATED FOR COURAGE AND SKILL Town Council Met On Monday Evening The regular meeting of the Town Council was held in the council chamber on Monday evening with His Worship Mayor Dr. J. G. Mur­ ray presiding. All members were in attendance, Clerk Robert McNiven read the minuted of the previous meeting which were approved as rend. The only communication was from Mr. A. Segal of Segal’s Depart­ ment Store, pointing out that he considered his store came under the classification of a Department Store and not a men’s wear store. In view of this fact he pointed out that he did not feel that his store should be governed by the closing by-law­ effecting Men's Wear Stores, when there was not a blanket by-law- cov- ering all stores. He requested a de­ cision on the matter from the coun­ cil as to the classification of his business. Reports were presented by the chairmen of all standing commit­ tees. These only recommended the payment of accounts with the ex­ ception of the Finance Committee report which recommended that a grant of §60.00 be made to the Sal­ vation. Army Rescue Home at Lon­ don and the report of the Police Committee that the account of Chief Alex. Callander for §50.00, as expenses to Montreal to bring back a prisoner, be paid. All reports were adopted as read. On motion of Councillors Under­ wood and Preston, the letter from Segal’s Department Store was re­ ferred to the Police Committee.

Mentioned Among Three Canadians To Be Rewarded With Decorations. A distinct honour has been re­ ceived by Sergeant Wireless Air 1 Gunner Edward Reeves (Ted) Long, I of Ingersoll, who is now serving f overseas with the R.C.A.F. A press i dispatch from London, England, on I Saturday, January 31st, announced 1 that three Canadiah airmen, gradu- <■ ates of the Commonwealth Air t Training Plan, have been rewarded with decorations for the courage 1 and skill with which they have < played their* parts in bombing at- 1 tacks on enemy territory. 1 Sergt. Edward Reeves Long of 1 Ingersoll, Ontario, and Sergt. David 1 Scott Fisher of Biggar, Saskatche- ’ wan, have both won the Distinguish­ ed Flying Medal and Acting Flying Officer Charles Edward Dingle, 27- year-old observer from Winnipeg, 1 was awarded the Distinguished Fly c ing Cross. f The first intimation of the hon­ our awarded to Sergt. Long was (received locally when the news was {broadcast over a Toronto Radio { Station on Saturday afternoon. This (was heard by his wife, the former (Margaret Johnston, who resides {with her parents, Mr. and Mrs, G. (B. Johnston, Thames street north. (Mrs. Long immediately telephoned the good news to the airman’s par- (ents, Mr. and Mrs. C. K. Long, 57 Wellington Avenue. , The citation ’ announcing Sergt, Long’s award states, “He has shown ; high and consistent ability as a wire­ less operator during many attacks 1 on enemy territory, including four raids on Berlin. On one occasion i when the starboard engine of his i aircraft failed, Sergt. Long succeed­ ed in maintaining two-way com- 1 munication with his base and ob­ tained two vital wireless telegraph 1 fixes, thus largely contributing to a i safe return. His keenness and en- ,i thusiasm for operations set a splen- i did example.” < Sergt. Edward Reeves Long was born in Ingersoll, and spent his en- 1 tirg life here until enlisting in the 1 R.C.A.F. He is the younger son of ' Mr. and Mrs. C. K. Long. 57 Wei- ligton Avenue and was 24 years old on August 30th last. He attended Victory Memorial Public School and the Ingersoll Collegiate Insti­ tute and upon graduation accepted a position with Thayer’s Limited with which firm he was associated as a salesman at the time of joining the Royal Canadian Air Force. Sergt. Long made application to join the Air Force at the outbreak of war in 1939, but was not called up until February, 1940. He report­ ed for service at Toronto and was attached to No. 1, Wireless School at Montreal for over five months. He received further training at the Gunnery School at Jarvis, Ontario, graduating in 1940. He went over­ seas in February of last year and took a special wireless course in England graduating as a 1st Wire­ less Operator. From letters received locally he has told of numerous trips over enemy territory and the reco­ gnition he has received speaks for itsself as to his courage and skill. Sergt, Long has been interested in avjation ever since leaving school. He started flying and took instructions under Capt, Tom Wil­ liams of Sweaburg as far back as 1937. He did considerable flying and took advance instruction at the London Flying Club School at Lam­ beth and secured a private pilot's license. Previous to the outbreak of war. in partnership with Pil-rt Offi­ cer Gordon Chamberlain, who was recently reported as missing from air operations over enemy territory, he purchased an old plane and this was seen almost daily flying over Ingersoll and district. Sergt. Long’s many friend* in Ing­ ersoll and district learned with a great deal of pleasure of the honour that has been awarded him and they •nil join in extending their congrat­ ulation* and best wishes* on his hav­ ing received the Distinguished Fly­ ing Medal. A campaign is being staged this week to secure more subscribers for the Ingersoll War Charities in order to meet the objective set for this year of §25,000.00. On the basis of the monthly re­ turns at the present time, it will be necessary to secure §10,000 more in cash, or pledges, to bring the pres­ ent estimated receipts of §15,000.00 up to the sum required. During its first year of operations Ingersoll War Charities has distri­ buted §18,000.00 amongst ten or­ ganizations doing war service work, including the Red Cross, Canadian Legion, Salvation Army, Y.M.C.A. Knights of Columbus, Imperial Or­ der Daughters of the Empire, and the Navy League of Canada. Through the one appeal by the Ingersoll War Charities the citizens o'Ljhe town are relieved of a multi­ plicity of appeals each year and are able to budget their contributions to all the War Service Organizations and other worthy war work by making monthly payments to the War Charities. The necessity of another canvass has been made because of the re­ moval of many contributors to other centres and the fact that a great many new-comers to town are not now contributing. Only non-contributors at the pres­ ent time will be canvassed in the appeal which started yesterday and continues today, tomorrow and Sat­ urday. Rev. R. Harold Parr, has been secured to manage the cam­ paign and the canvass is being con­ ducted by members of the following organizations: Subdivision Columbus. Subdivision Army. Subdivision No. 3—Ingersoll Y’s Men’s Club. Subdivision No. 4 — Ingersoll Branch Canadian Legion. Subdivision No. 5—Norsworthy and Lady Dufferin Chapters, Imper­ ial Order Daughters of the Empire. Subdivision No. 6 — Ingersoll Branch Canadian Red Cross Society. The directors of the Ingersoll War Charities are hopeful that the additional sum required for this year .will be secured and the public are appealed to for their whole-hearted co-operation. While present subscribers are not to be canvassed, should any wish to increase their contributions, such in­ creases will be gladly welcomed. VICTORY LOAN PUBLICITY COMMITTEE PLAN CAMPAIGN It was learned from Walter L.. Thurtell, chairman of the Victory Loan publicity committee for Inger­ soll and district, that a considerable step toward organization was taken at a meeting specially called by him Tuesday night. Mr. Thurtell ex­ plains that the committee is not yet at full strength as arrangements were' made for the addition of fur­ ther names. The publicity committee will have Mr. Thurtell as its chairman. Others named Tuesday night were: Vice- chairman, R. B. Bigham; F. E. Johnston, S. L. Shelton. A. P. Bar­ ker and Lieut. W. C. Wilson. Arrangements were made for a poster competition to be conducted among the art students at the Inger­ soll Collegiate, for which cash prizes will be given. The poster will be used in window advertising for the loan drive. It was nlso explained by Mr. Thurtell that the Public Utilities Commission window, through the courtesy of Superintendent H. G. Hall, has been loaned for use of the committee, and this gesture on Mr. Hall's part is fully appreciated by the committee members, in addition to the use of the Utilities Commiss­ ion window, every businessman in Ingersoll has promised the use of his window for one week for the display of loan drive material. Thus Chair­ man Thurtell feels that immediate needs in that regard have been given ample attention and all requests for assistance in this way have met with -4-u-generous response.No. 1—Knights of 2 — Salvation Injured In Air Operations Dorchr*ter—Mrs. Arthur Chittick has received cablegrams recently from England advising her of the serious accident of her nephew, J.

Mr.and Mrs. Carl Mighton Honoured By Friends It was further stated by Mr. Thurtell, that a play is to be given in St. James’ Parish Hall on Febru­ ary 20, the title of the play being, “Ritzing the Blitz.” This play, it is explained, is to be presented by an all-male company. In fact it is a sol­ dier company from Toronto and re­ garded as being a highly capable I one. "I am informed,” said Mr. Thurtell, “that this company has been playing to packed houses in the larger centres, and that the show has a broad appeal. The show is made up of songs, skits, clever im­ personations and other interesting features. This of course is to be presented to assist in the loan drive and to focus attention upon the effort. A capable speaker will ad­ dress the audience during the even­ ing setting forth the needs and high­ lights of the campaign in an inter­ esting way. “Then we may say that on Febru­ ary 17 the public school children will give a patriotic concert. On February 24th, the students of the Ingersoll Collegiate are also to pre­ sent a patriotic concert. These are to be given at St. James’ Parish Hall, also," said Mr. Thurtell. A very pleasant sociql evening was spent at the home ofg Mr. and Mrs. Fred Crane, Mount Elgin, on Friday, when about sixty friends gathered in honour of Mr. and Mrs. Carl Mighton, whose marriage took place recently. Decorations in pink and white with roses and carnations were effectively used. The affair, which took the form of a miscellaneous shower, was a com­ plete surprise to Mr. and Mrs. Migh­ ton. The first part of the evening was spent in playing cards and dan­ cing. Later, Mr. Harry Reeves acting as master of ceremonies, read an Address to the guests of honour as Miss Evalena Reeves and Miss Thel­ ma Crane carried in a prettily dec­ orated basket in pink and white, loaded with pretty and useful gifts. Miss Helen Crane also presented on behalf of friends, a lovely satin com­ forter in mauve and gold. Mr, Migh­ ton expressed sincere appreciation on behalf of his wife and himself. Delicious refreshments were served by the hostess, assisted by many friends, Dancing to the splen­ did music of Mr. Earl Hosack of Norwich with a violin, his daughter, Alma and son Gerald, with guitar and • piano, brought the pleasant evening to a close.

Poste, Manager of the Local Employment and Claims Office, Woodstock, with respect to the Order- in-Council passed recently by the Federal Govern­ ment to provide insurance coverage for workers, who would normally earn less than $2,000 a year, but whose earnings, in certain specified instances, arc now in excess of that amount.Under the Unemployment Insurance Act such workers would be excepted from making contribu­ tions to the insurance fund, and, therefore, would be deprived of benefits should they become unem­ ployed,. Many employees who it was intended should be insured under the Act are now earning over $2,000 and thus being excepted. Stepping up of war in­ dustries has been the cause and hence the Govern­ ment decided upon immediate action by Order-in- Counci! under the War Measures Act. R. A. Skinner was a Toronto visitor this week. H. Richardson, jeweller, was in Toronto on busi­ ness this week. Mrs. Spencer McDonald and son, Billie were the guests of Mrs. T. N. Dunn. Mrs. G.

Canadian Churches Are Practical Ever since man first found God. the godly have been beset by the ungodly. The church has always been considered a natural enemy by those individu­ als and those nations which have sought power nnd wealth through the cruel exploitation of their neigh­ bours and other nations. In the light of history it is not surprising that Hitler has seen fit to persecute the religious people of Germany and of those other countries which he has conquered. Enlightened citizens of the democra­ cies which still remain free know full well that if Hitler is not stopped, the church and all it means will be set back for years. Thus it becomes a logical decision that churches in Canada, whose primary mission is to promote ’’Peace on Earth,” should lend a voice in support of the practical courses which must be taken to stop Hitler. A Victory I/ian Sundy on February 22nd is there­ fore well conceived. In connecting the cold hard business of raising money for the war effort with the warm, soul-stirring truth that this is a war to free millions of oppressed people, Victory Loan Sun­ day becomes a n d letter day on the Calendar for 1942. God-fearing Canadians should fill the churches on that day. Sugar Rationing The sugar rationing order of the Wartime Prices and Trade Board . 'rmit-< some latitude in purchas­ ing by persons “remote from source of supply.” No other interpretation should be placed upon this, it is pointed out, than the meaning plainly conveyed. Difficulty of access to stores is the qualifying circum- lance, not the mere fact that the purchaser may be a fanner or other rural dweller. There arc in some parts of the country settlers and others who make only seasonal or infrequent visits to a source of supply, and in some rural areas the residents are isolated from time to time in winter by weather or road conditions. From these it was rea­ sonable and necessary to make provision in the ra­ tioning order. But rural residents who in the ordin­ ary course drive frequently to a shopping centre are not entitled to buy any more sugar than consumers in towns and cities; that is, a supply for two weeks. Storekeepers in country districts have been asked to refuse, where this course is justified, requests for more than standard ration. In any case, the special provision on behalf of those remote from source of supply confers no ex­ emption from the limitation upon consumption. Whatever quantity may be obtai/ied, the law still requires adherence to the ration maximum of three- quarters of a pound per person per week. Price Fixing On New Goods The Wartime Prices and Trade Board—For goods not of a kind or quality sold during the basic period, September 15 to October the Board on Novem­ ber 23 laid down general rules. Goods substantially similiar k> those of a kind and quality sold during the basic period must be sold at not more than the ceiling for the latter. In regard to goods not sold during the basic period such as seasonal articles not on >the market between September 15 and Oc- tober 1\. the general principal laid down is that retail prices must bear a relationship to the price of the most nearly similar goods sold during the basic period. No merchandise can be priced for sale at a Drice higher than would have been appropriate if such goods had been sold in the basic period, having re­ gard to the retail price structure at that time and prices actually charged for goods of the nearest similar classification and intrinsic value sold at that time, The 1942 price* for seasonal goods must not exceed the 1941 prices for th« same lines, unless it ean be established that a rise is justified *o as to bring them into proper relationship with retail price* for other, goods during the basic period. A Retail Pricing Committee, under the Administrator of Retail Trade, ha* had under study the problem of pricing seasonal line*. The prices charged on such lines by manufacturer* and wholesalers are to be «p- Miss Marjory Hinge of Ingersoll, entertained a large number of Salford young people to a skating party at the rink last Tuesday evening.

BRITISH INDUSTRIES— From Robert Williamson — SOUTH AFRICA’S SHEEP The skins of South African sheep are to-day helping to save the lives of shipwrecked British sailors. Sheepskin gloves, large and warm, are now included in a lifeboat’s equipment. Two nnd a half pairs of them are got from each sheepskin nnd big quantities are being turned out by the makers. i They nre also producing a great number of other types of gloves, mostly for the Royal Air Force, not to mention leather flying hel­ mets at the rate of a thousand a week. The Army is getting from them gloves of ample size for protecting men at bayonet practice and they arc also distributing quantities of boxing gloves to the Forces gener­ ally. FORCES’ SWEETHEART Vera Lynn, the ’’sweetheart of the Forces” as the B.B.C. called her, is to-dny the favourite singer of men and women workers in Britain’s war factories. Half a million rec­ ord* of “Yours”, the song which made her famous, have already been sold to the factories and the Forces, and the demand for it goes on. Another big seller is Deanna Durbin’s "Because” and “Last Rose of Summer”, two old favourites on either side of the record. The fresh voice of this young Canadian star has sent its circulation up to 120,- 000 copies to date. Others in the lead are Bing Crosby; Ambrose for dance music; Sydney Torch for or­ gan medleys in which the workers join; and Charlie Kunz at the piano. Special ’compered’ programmes of mixed items are now’ being sup­ plied to factories at the bare cost of the records. The idea was Lord Beaverbrook’s who asked for an entertainment to fill in half hour breaks in the work. The result is a scheme by which, using double turntables and records from all the different makers, the workers are given a 25-minute mix­ ed programme of popular items— for example, a hot-rhythm number,a woman vocalist, a military band,an organ solo and a tenor likeCaruso or Webster Booth.• • • BULL WITH ONE HORN • Records of 25 years’ standing were beaten when a bull sold at the British Friesian Cattle Society's Annual Show and sale made 3,100 guineas. He was Mr. W. G. Player's Ednaston Zwarthak 25th, and, des­ pite the recent loss of a horn, he won the championship and made the highest price in a sale at which the 70 animals offered realised £27,630, an average of no less than £394 per head. This compares with an average of £125 in 1940 and £60 in 1937. Two other bulls ran into four figures, the Hodge Bros., Fint- lock Knight being sold at 1.350 guineas and Mr. T. E. Beckett’s Hales Zwart Thane at 1.000 guin­ eas. Thj/highest priced female was Fintloek Juliana 4th., also from the Hodge Bros. Although breeders fouhd these sensational prices highly gratifyng, they believe that the real success of ths British Friesian festival was the combination of great individual merit with exceptional milk and but­ terfat production. It is noteworthy thta the qualified females averaged exactly twice the price of those which did not qualify by the milk and butterfat of their two nearest dams,v « • IT WAVES THE HAIR A process used in woman’s hair- , waving is helping to build ail craft for Britain. It is a form of powder metallurgy, perhaps the greatest innovation in metal-working for thousands of years, in which, instead of using molten metal, articles arc made from fine metallic powders and pressed’into solid and durable shape. For ladies’ "perms” a metal pow­ der is packed in little sachets of ab­ sorbent paper. When moistened, a reaction between the metal and certaimdiemicals generates the pre­ cise amount of heat required, so setting the the hair in waves. In making parts for aeroplanes, guns, ships, tanks and other equip­ ment, powder metallurgy has two great advantages: it is very light and it is self-oiling—that is to say,the metal has fine pores which canabsorb oil and retain it almost in­definitely. The pioneer of powder metallurgy was an Englishman, Mr. W. H. Wol­ laston, who in 1829 worked out a powder process for platinum because the melting point of this metal was too high for the furnace then in use. It is being used in Great Brit­ ain to-day not only for making metal parts but also for paints, printing inks, metal spraying, sol­ dering and brazing, hardening con­ crete, dental alloys, fireworks, ex­ plosives and diamond tools. In the near future it may be possible to use it for a ribbonless typewriter in which porous type faces soak up the ink an stamp it on paper. Samuel L.

Welcome AdmUAioM THE INGERSOLL TRIBUNE, THURSDAY, FEB. 5th, 1942 Page I Captain (Now Major) Coulson Norman Mitchell, V.C., M.C. In the good-natured inter- service rivalry within the Canadian Corps during the long trench-lock of the 1914-18 war, the Infantry professed a cordial dislike for the Engineer and all his works. The latter’s in- defatigibk efforts to repair old trench-works, to build new systems, switches, spurs and communica­ tions, to dig cable ditches and mine saps, and to fortify strong-points and machine-gnn positions, greatly distressed the Infantry. The Artil­ lery and other corps were strictly neutral, but the Infantry were the laborers for tile necessary carrying and working-purties. They caus­ tically declared that the Engineer must spend all his off-duty hours inventing new and disagreable pick- and shovels, sandbag-rilling tasks for the footslogger — in as danger­ ous and obnoxious places as pos- - sible. This attitude of the Infantry1 toward the Sappers persisted through the labor of trench-locked war. But ( a*, the turning of war’s tide, in the Miies of victorious British offensive battles in 1918, the Engineers came into his own — with even the In­ fantry’s generous agreement, thanks and approval. No member of the Canadian En­ gineers did more to change the In­ fantryman's view toward his service lhan Capt. Norman Mitchell whose -neat gallantry and courage simul­ taneously won the Victoria Cross und a new and respectful regard for the Engineers by all the Canadian Corps. The distinguished act<of bravery occurred on the night of October Sth, 191 s. at Pont d'Aire over the Canal de 1’Escaut, Largely through Captain Mitchell's coura­ geous exploit in preventing destruc­ tion of the bridge, the attacking Can­ adian infantry were able to cross the canal and so enter and capture the > ity of Cambrai, almost without loss, at 5 a. m. the next morning. Cambrai was practically out-flank­ ed by the British Army in the first week of October, 1918, but in order :o conserve men and to save the city from destruction, a serious assault was delayed until it was evident, even to the Germans, that it would have to be evacuated. Many of the German garrison made their escape from the beleaguered city around midnight of October 7th. A large- -cale advance by the 2nd and 3rd Canadian Divisions was then arranged ••r the early morning of the 9th in • rd er to maintain pressure. This night attack jumped off ut 1 a.m. with the Canal de 1‘Escaut forming a barrier between the en­ emy and the advancing Canadians. It certain that the Germans would attempt to blow up the three bridges over the canal the moment their rear­ guard had crossed, and the job of preventing their demolition, or of building a pontoon crossing if the dynamiters succeeded, was given to “D” company of the 4th Battalion, Canadian Engineers Captain Mitchell was destined for immortality by being detailed to command a daring advance party which would attempt to reach the bridge and disconnect the charges before they could be ex­ ploded. Because the time factor was all important in blocking the demol­ ition work of the Germans, Captain Mitchell and his squad were in the jump-off trench with the infantry when the barrage broke. He nt once led the way, in advance of the infantry, toward the three canal crossings. Before the little party of engineers could reach the nearest bridge, they heard a dull, whamping explosion—and saw the jump of flame which said that it was already gone. Captain Mitchell then led a headlong dash for the secund bridge, with the main crossing, Pont d'Aire, still farther on. ' As they reached the western ap­ proach to the second subsidiary bridge, they found it under heavy fire but intact. Captain Mitchell now had only a sergeant and two men with him, the rest of bis party having become casualties. He plac­ ed the three in front as a covering screen while he examined the bridge. With the aid of the livid glare of battle, reflected in the night sky. he found a series of wires leading to demolition charges under the bridge. He successfully cut them, and with one man left raced on for Pont d'Aire. Once more it appeared that they were in time. Without waiting to reconnoitre or estimate the strength of the enemy troops holding the bridge-head at the far side of the main crossing, Captain Mitchell rush­ ed recklessly over the structure. The Germans appeared to have evac­ uated the position, and there was the chilling apprehension that the charges had been set to explode by a short time-fuse. But in the con­ fusion of the flame-split night, Cap­ tain Mitchell worked frantically to discover the location of the explos­ ives. The courageous officer had just discovered them, and their lead-wires, when a warning cry from his single sentry told him that a strong force of the enemy was coming back to blow up the bridge. In a gallant attempt to fight them off, the sentry was wounded. , Captain Mitchellthen charged single-handed. In a I furious melee he killed three Ger- I mans, anil so awed the remaining twelve Huns by his impetuous brav­ ery that they surrendered. The gal­ lant Canadian officer then held the bridge alone ugainst all comers until reinforcements from the leading waves of the infantry at last reached him. With the bridge now securely in Canadian hands, Captain Mitchell quickly returned to his original job. Under heavy artillery fire, he cool­ ly removed the detonators from the heavy charges—and within a brief time strong parties of Canadian in­ fantry, and even field artillery, were safely across Pont d’Aire with Cam­ brai just beyond. They entered the city at daylight. As the unemotional words of his citation for the Victoria Cross read: ‘■It was entirely due to his valour and decisive action that this impor­ tant bridge across the cannal was sav­ ed from destruction.” They should also do more than refer by inference to the number of infantry lives he saved, and to the immense value of his exploit in expediting the advance on Cambrai. The hero of Cambrai was born and educated in Winnipeg. He graduat­ ed in engineering from the Univer­ sity of Manitoba in 1912. He comes of a soldiering family, his father having been a noted Bisley shot, and an original officer of the 90th Winni­ peg Rifles with active service in the Rebellion of 1885. Captain Mit­ chell's two brothers were also officers in the last war, in which he enlisted himself in 1914 as a private with the Railway Construction Corps. He was later commissioned with the 1st Tunnelling Company, C. E-, and won the Military Cross in December, 1917, in a mining exploit which blew up a series of German subterranean gal­ leries. Captain (now Major) Mitchell re­ turned to the Canadian Army at the outbreak of the present war. He pro­ ceeded overseas in August. 1940, and now comnmnds a field company of engineers.

Wednesday, January 28th KINTORE— SALFORD Kintore defeated Salford by a score of 6-5 in the fastest, most thrilling game played in the league this season. There was little to choose between the teams on the night’s play. The first period opened with Kintore pressing hard and at the five minute mark they led by 2-0, but Salford opened the throttle and in a space of three minutes slammed home three goals to go one up. Kintore evened it just before the bell. Each team scored in the second frame to make the count 4-4. Early in the third period, Salford took the lead and held it until the half-way mark. Mowat notched the winning goal with about 5 minutes to play, when Salford was a man short. The game was clean. Kintore drawing 3 penalties to Salford’s 2, ail minors. Hewitt was Salford's star, while the line of M. Robson, W. McLeod and Mowat, stood out for the win­ ners. The season’s largest crowd saw the game. Salford were minus their_ star, Ray Sadler.

Belmont netted two goals in the fading minutes of the game to cop the honours. This like the first game, was real clean, Belmont drawing three crimes to the quarry villagers’ two. W.

Blowes, Lon­ don, Representative of The Trans-Canada Air Lines. Members of the Ingersoll Lions lub played daddy to their own son • r another boy at the “Father and Son Night”, meeting held on Tues­ day evening last at the St. Charles Hotel. President John Borland was •n charge of the meeting and Stan- <vy L. Blowes. London, Trans-Can- . da Air -Lines Traffic Representa­ tive for the London District, gave an interesting talk and showed coi­ ned moving pictures, titled, “Sky­ way Across Canada,” outlining the trip and route taken by the Trans- • anada planes in a trip from Hali­ fax to Vancouver. A quartette of boys from Grade VJJI at Victory Memorial Public '<hool, Donald Young, David Walsh, Wesley Heslop and Keith Pettit contributed several numbers „nd Lion Fred Bigham led sing­ in gs with Lion Jack Morgan at the t iano. Candy was distributed to each wy guest. The door prize was won »y John McDougall. tThree new members, John Clark, . ack Morgan and Carl Palmer were received and welcomed into mem- tership of the club by President John Borland. •Stanley L. Blowes, who was nc- mpunied to Ingersoll by John Mac- Nub. of the London Free Press • taff, was introduced by Lion J. Fer­ ris David. The speaker traced the development of the Trans-Canada Air Lines and the headway that has teen made up to the present time when two transcontinental trips a day each way are in operation. The Trans-Canada Air Lines was incor- -orated by Act of Parliament in the •pring of 1937 and is a publicly- wned system, Mr. Blowes pointed » it. T.C.A. have eighteen planes in 1 • nice at the present time and last year these flew more than six mil­ ion miles. The transcontinental line runs 'rem Halifax to Vancouver, linking n route the cities of Moncton, Montreal, Ottawa, Toronto. North Bay, Winnipeg, Regina and Leth- •ridge, Charlottetown and Summer- Mde. Prince Edward Island are •eined in Moncton, There is an in- i-r-city service between Toronto and New York and Montreal, Ot­ tawa, Toronto, London and Wind­ er, Ontario, also Lethbridge, Cal­ gary and Edmonton. Last year over 72.000 passengers were carried as compared with •14,169 in 1940, which indicated the public are be­ coming more air-travel conscious. There was also an increase of about 9$'r in the amount of air mail sent over the previous year, the spcakei said.It was pointed out that T.C.A. is supplied with one of the finest weather report systems in the* world and Trancontinental service sets a record for speed that is seldom equalled by the air lines operating across the border. Many of the features of the T.C. A. Service was touched upon by Mr. Blowes who pointed out that flying was now regarded as safe a form of transportation as any other means. He visioned the day when there would be 40 passenger ships on the regular daily runs through London with smaller feeder lines from the surrounding districts, and still larger ships operating on the transcontinental route. "In the future," Mr. Blowes de­ clared: “1 believe Canada will be the centre of the crucial radio ar­ teries of the world. Although T.C.A. has finished expanding for the dur­ ation of the war, it has been award­ ed the routes to Newfoundland and Alaska and as soon as planes to operate these routes can be secured they will be put in service." Before the showing of the col­ oured talking motion pictures, the speaker concluded his remarks by saying, “T.C.A. is yours, the Bus­ iest Air Line in the World To-day, make use of it." Following the pictures a vote of thanks was tendered to Mr, Blowes and the boy entertainers by Lion William F. Newell. Bruce Borland, the son of President John E. Bor­ land, extended the thanks of the boys and others guests to the club for arranging the Father and Son Night and for the fine programme that was provided. Honoured On Birthday Dorchoter--About 30 friends and neighbors gathered at the home of Mrs. J. J. Ford, on Friday, January 30th, to offer congratulations and wish her many happy returns of the duy. Mrs. Ford was celebrating her 80th birthday and in spite of the in­ clement weather was pleased to see so many of her friends. Tea was served to the guests by her daugh- ters, Mrs. W, McMurray of Tham- esford and Mrs. A. C. Smith of Agincourt, from the tea table cen­ tred with a birthday cake and spring flowers. Guest bouquets decorated the room and many other gifts were received by Mrs. Ford.

The pen and pencil is certainly a very fine and practical gift. I have also been the recipient of cigarettes from the Ingersoll Branch of the Canadian Legion. It certain­ ly is very nice to know that one isn’t forgotten in the old home town. My unit, the 8th Canadian Reconnaiss­ ance, is made up of men from every part of the Dominion and has also quite a large number of Yankees. As it happens, I am the only mem­ ber from the Ingersoll area. Wishing you all a Merry Christ­ mas and a Happy New Year, I re­ main— Yours truly—Allap Cray.

B 15186 Gunner Cliff Chamber- lain, 41 Light Anti Aircraft Battery, 5th Light Anti Aircraft Regiment. Royal Canadian Artillery said in his note, “You may be sure that I was very glad to get the pen and pencil set as a pen was one item which 1 neglected to bring overseas with me. I am glad to say that any of the Ingersoll boys I have met over here are all in good health and it is really a treat to see some one from the old 1 home town.” Lance Corporal Arthur Pressweli, son of Mrs. May Presswell, who is with the Highland Light Infantry of Canada, in writing the council said, “1 would like to take this opportunity to thank you for the lovely pen and pencil set which 1 received from you on behalf of the people of Ingersoll. It was just what I needed as I had lost my other pen and had to do a lot of borrowing, to write my letters.” "We are all having a great time over here, but of course we’ll all be glad to get back home once again. We’ve had several inspections, the most important one being by the King and Queen. It sure was a gala day in our lives—one we'll never forget" “1 have met quite a few Inge i soil of snow here so fur, so I guess this will be a green Christmas. It is - -unure like summer than winter here. J would like to wish you all over there a Very Happy and Prosperous New Year, and thanks again for the pen and pencil set.” Sincerely, Art Pressweli Capt. Rev. C. D. Daniel Thank* Kiwani* Club Captain Rev. Charles D. Daniel, a member of the Ingersoll Kiwanis Club and Minister of Trinity United Church who is now serving overseas with the Chaplain Services sent the following letter to the Kiwanis Club. It was written on December 11. 1941. "Dear Kiwanis Members:- What a surprise it was today to get the splen­ did box from the Club. Everything was just along the line of things that we need so much. Fruit is very scarce here. Sandwich spread does help our midnight feeds—everything was just splendid, in fact, one of the best services to the troops that it is possible to render as it helps very much to keep up the morale, This year has been a hard year of just waiting—but Christmas mail is coming over so well, it U cheering the boys up. 1 have not seen Don Mackenzie yet. He is up with his regiment and has not been down since I came here, but some of these days I hope I will be seeing him. Thanks to the Scribe I get my Canadians may well be proud of the , way they are looking after their forces." Sincerely, CHARLES D. DANIEL. weekly bulletin. It is nice to have it and know how things are going each week, 1 will not be so fur be­ hind when I get back. Then. I get my Kiwanis magazine and when I finish reading it 1 take it in and put it on our officers mess reading table and I find quite a number reading it also. Your papers in the box were wel­ come too. We have been seeing so little news from home as the papers here are so small because of the scarcity of paper. I am sure Bill has had a good year and I know every one will be behind Henry in his year to come. It’s when you get off here that you see, in a new light, what a service Kiwanis gives to the Community. The war has taken quite a change these days with Japan and United States at each other, but I am sure in the end it will all benefit our side. One thing is sure, there will be a big job of world reconstruction after the war and clubs like Kiwanis will be able to play a real part in the tusk. My regards to everyone and thanks a million for your kind re­ membrance. I will always be glad to hear from any of the Club mem­ bers. Incidentally the “Y” has given us some very fine Christmas stationary, thanks to your help in “War Char­ ities", “Sally Ann", the Legion, the “Y” and K, of C. are playing a real part in the boys’ lives. I notice Red Cross materials in my hospital visit­ ations and in many regiments where men need pyjamas or things of that type, and all these things are gratis.

Page 6 THE INGERSOLL TRIBUTE, THURSDAY, FEB. 5th, 1942The problem of venereal disease i has been one of the greatest in the whole field of public health. Its ser-1 iousncss almost unrecognized until the first decade of this century, dur­ ing the last war it was responsible for keeping literally hundreds of thousands of men out of the ranks and creating many serious and ex­ pensive post war disabilities. Since 1920 an aggressive campaign involving the co-opernlion of the Dominion and the provinces has been I carried on. Legislation has been(passed in rtc.'t of the provinces. Anextensive educational programmeby the H<. ,1th League of Canada(formerly ;’ne Canadian Social Hy­giene Council) has been carried onand half a million persons havebeen brought under treatment. The result of these factors and advances in treatment is that venereal disease so far at least has not been as ser­ ious a matter in the present war as in the .1914-18 conflict. Yet the authorities are taking no chances lest war is followed by its usual result—an increase in vener­ eal disease incidence. The Dominion grant to the provinces for the pur-1 chase of drugs to be used in treat-1 ment has been continued. TheHealth League of Canada has map­ped out an extensive program andvarious provinces have shown evi­dence of greatly increased activity.In British Columbia a most compre­hensive campaign is in progress.In Ontario legislation has been im­ proved and increasing efforts are evident to insure the treatment of early cases and to search out and treat later cases which otherwise will develop into serious and ex­ pensive neurological disabilities. In Quebec, the one province in Canada which has been without adequate laws for the control of venereal dis­ ease, it is expected that legislation will be placed on the statute books ^A PPHIRE Sm tL)lAMONDS ^^by Do r ot h y Gr iddl e Tr o w br idg e ^ - CHAPTER V SYNOPSIS Peggy Horton meet* Harry Wilson bychance.

I—1 forgot to phonehome that I arrived all right.” during the coming meeting of thelegislature.In two western provinces someeffort has been made to deal withmedical examination before marri­age. In the rest of Canada none ofthe provinces have* attempted todeal with the question. In this re­ spect Canada is far behind the Uni­ ted Stales where a majority of the States have taken some action. As against this a co-ordinated country­ wide attack on the venereal disease problem has been in progress in Canada for twenty years with de­ finite resujts. Fine as the program in the United States now is, it was late in starting, with the result that on the whole Canada is ahead in its record of reduced disease in­cidence. The Health League of Canada has made available fur use in military camps a number of different moving pictures dealing wth the problem of Venereal Diseases. These pictures are now in circulation in various camps throughout Canada. Their ed­ ucation value is undoubtedly consid­ erable. The League will shortly sponsor a new moving picture dealing with this subject. This picture however,I will be shown in theatres only, for the present. Maxine eyed her sister searching-)y. then leaning forward kissed hergently. "All right, Baby, whateveryou say You know I trust yourjudgment and I know you wouldn'tdo anything ever that would causeeither Gran or me any unhappi-ncss." ■ I II Peggy felt that if she stayedthere another minute she would becrying her heart out in her sister’sarms. "I must run back to Nancy now,"she said jumping to her feet "Goodnight Jt's grand to have you hereeven for a short time. I know theEnglish picture will be swell.” She got out of the room some­how. Under the door of her grand­mother’s room she could see thefaint flicker of a light.

"Just ■ minute," Peggy called.She must put Harry'* ring away in some safe place. She couldn'tcarry it around in her bag tor aweek. She would be sure to pullit out with a handkerchief or a pow­der puff. She looked about for aplace to hide it, but her room seemed very open. The drawersof her bureau would be opened byMary Lou when she put away thelaundry. The cuBby holes of herdesk had letters and note paperstuffed into them. It wasn't thatshe doubted the honesty of any ofthe servants. She knew that theywould never take anything, no mat­ter what she left lying about, butshe did not want anyone to seethis ring. She remembered a pairof satin evening slippers she hadhad at school. There seemed tobe no chance of wearing those now.She would stuff the ring into thetoe of one of them and it would besafely out of sight. Getting her bag from a drawer she reached in for the ring. Im-patient at her inability to find it,she emptied the contents of thebag onto the bed. But no glitteringdiamond and sapphire ring rolledout with the coin purse, compactand handkerchief. Hastily shepicked up the handkerchief and feltit, then shook it, at first gently,then roughly, but nothing fell fromit as she waved 41 bv two corners. Frowning, she opened the coinpurse and emptied that It con­tained only a little silver and a fewpennies. Nothing that could con­ceal a ring.

This is is extremely important because ear­ lier in the session and in previous sessions, such a request did not re­ ceive the same reply, though it must be admitted that the Govern­ ment had definite reasons for its at­ titude on those occasions. However, this latest request or enquiry by the leader of the Co-Operative Common­ wealth Federation, M. J. Coldwell, has received a favourable reply in regard to the Government’s chang­ ed attitude towards secret sessions of Parliament. WHEAT PRICE WILL RISE It is reported along Parliament Hill that gJod news may be ex­ pected by the farmers because both the price of wheat and the demand for it as well as coarse grains may be much better if present signs in­ dicate the right trend. Indeed, it is stated that the price next year may be as high as 90 cents a bushel instead of this year’s guaranteed price of 70 cents a bushel. Of course, it must be emphasized that much will depend upon the develop­ ments in the war situation, such as the extent of the demands for Can­ adian wheat to be shipped to Russia or the demands from Britain both for wheat and coarse grains. INQUIRY INTO HONG KONG EXPEDITION After considerable discussion and debate in the House of Commons, a committee of that body will con­ duct a careful inquiry into the Hong Kong expedition, with two main points keeping the attention of the men holding the probe, that is they want to find out why 138 men trained less than six weeks were included in the expedition and why there was a loss of equipment, though in the latter case the fact that the transport only reached as far as Manilla, where it fell into the friendly hands of the United States forces in the Philippines fighting the Japanese, is not considered an un­ fortunate end for this equipment as events turned out. THE TRUTH ABOUT THE PLEBISCITE There are certain things which an impartial observer backstage along Parliament Hill must do and certain other things that he chooses to do. The first arc duties; the sec­ ond are privileges. The first are laws of his profession; the second arc loves or desires. Therefore, -it is extremely doubtful if ut any time since the establishment upon a firm basis of Confederation in Canada have observers in the nation’s cap­ ital had any greater example of prim responsibility in their line of duty than exists to-day in reporting the actual circumstances prevailing along Parliament Hill in regard to the war service plebiscite. Without taking any sides in this issue, directly or indirectly, nor ap­ proving or disapproving of this move by the Government, it is the duty of this observer to report to the mnn-in-the-street throughout Can­ ada that extreme caution or pru­ dence must be exercised now in ad­ judicating all discussions or reports about this plebiscite. Political con­ siderations and ambitions enter into the issue at a time when these peacetime activities should not oc­ cupy the attention of anyone in a na­ tion at war. Indeed, these activities aie so manifest and so deeply borne into the imagination of representa­ tives of all political parties on Par­ liament Hill that the casual reading of reports or listening to brief radio items may produce a false or erron­ eous impression for the man-in-the- street about the whole plebiscite. There are many persons in the capital who claim the plebiscite is an unnecessary process, a dilatory act­ ion, a cowardly move and a negation of the responsibilities of Government. But there is another angle to this story, and any law-abiding citizen, who believes in national unity in wartime and who respects the high­ est principles of democracy, includ­ ing the rights of minorities, even if I he or she cannot speak, nor under­ stand the language and mentality of his neighbor, will not adjudicate this until this other aide of the story has been heard from, a wholly impartial source, emphasuting that this u the dominant topic of conversation everywhere in the capital though the headlines may stress other stories. First, although there is not the slightest doubt that Parliament has the constitutional power to act dir­ ectly, yet it might be considered an infraction of the democratic systemif the people of Canada are notconsulted because over and aboveall other facts it must be remem­bered that the present Government was returned to power by an over­ whelmingly large majority in the last general election when it was officially announced that its plat­ form or policies opposed any con­ scription for overseas service. There­ fore, this Parliament has no express­ ion of authority from the people to act contrary to its pledges. Second, the man-in-the-street must understand that this country is ruled not by Parliament, nor by Government, but by. the people. Third, in 1917, Sir Wilfred Laur­ ier moved an amendment to the Mil­ itary Service Act providing that such a vote should be taken and that the people will abide by the de­ cision. The wisdom of such approval or disapproval aims to disarm polit­ icians and to strengthen statesmen. Fourth, if the Government does not seek a release from any past pledges or commitments, there is absolute certainty that charges will be hurled against it from all direct­ ions, with the insinuations that it docs not keep its pledges on one hand and that it does not keep in tune with conditions on the other hand, though these persons know BOID..? t C E T REA D Y EC B U Y H VICTOR?BONDS what is a nS> n c n n & that conditions have changed vitallysince the last pledges were givenand conditions will keep on chang­ing in the fluctuating fortunes ofwar. Fifth, it is quite obvious that a surprisingly large number of Can­ adians in all parts and of all levels of life in Canada really fail to un­ derstand the circumstances of this plebiscite, nor the attitude of the Government. Perhaps, this is due to the fact that only once before in the entire history of this country was a plebiscite held to determine the opinion of the people. This hap­ pened in September of 1898 when the people voted on the prohibition issue, though such a slight majority favored prohibition that the Govern­ ment of that day did not enforce this restriction. In other words, the man-in-the-street throughout Can­ ada must remember that plebiscites are not common occurrences in this country and this method of consulta­ tion may produce misunderstand­ ings or antipathetic feeling, often intentionally or ingenuously instiga­ ted. It is a psychological reaction that sometimes occurs when any­ thing strange is introduced to the masses of any country, particularly at a time of extreme tension. It is more psychological than actual. In reality, there is nothing new them. Then again, plebiscites havebeen used as basic democratic orrepublican institutions. In interna­tional plebiscites, these means wereemployed when the people of a country wanted to show by their votes a desire to transfer their al­ legiance and their territory to some other country. This was first used in 1860 in Italy. In internal plebis­ cites, such as the one proposed by the present Government in Ottawa, these mcansowere used when it was the purpose of the authorities or government not to decide a question but rather to confirm. This observa- , tion is Extremely important for the man-in-the-street in Canada al the present time. It must be remem­ bered that these plebiscites seek popular verdicts on the basis of this most important element. These facts must be considered in passing judgment on the plebis­ cite as a means of determining the chart or guide for the Government in this momentous period of our history. It is not a case of being slave to the law or restriction of the spirit of action in a . time of crisis. It is a case where the leaders of this nation are following th?words of the Saviour who expected I His followers to be as good as the ’ law demanded, and better. "Whoso- I ever shall compel thee to go with ; him one mile, go with him twain.' j about holding a plebiscite undersuch circumstances if an intelligentand well-informed individual con­siders why the Government is seek­ing confirmation or guidance al this time. In fact, plebiscite, as a polit­ ical institution, dates back from the earliest days of the Roman repub­ lic. It derives its name from the Latin, meaning a vote of all the cit­ izens without regard to wealth or| social distinction. The common1 people were called the “plcbs”, a word which was used more in the sense of the "rabble.” These people had little part in making the laws of the Roman republic, but occasion­ ally assembled in the market place and voted by raising their hands. This action was described by the verb “sciters”, meaning "approve” which forms the second part of the word plebiscite. It is significant that the very origin of the word ! implies something offered for ap- (proval and not disapproval. After . thj/ days of the Roman republic, ithis custom of holding plebiscites I was revised again and again in his-j tory on numerous occasions in I many lands. It was used by dicta- i tors, such as Napoleon I, Napoleon III and many others, and it was not used by other dictators. In our own time. Hitler has used plebis-I cites, but Mussolini has not used ’ A VICTORY BOND is the promise of the Dominion of Canada to repay in cash the full face value of the Bond at the time stipulated, with half-yearly interest at the rate of 3% per annum until maturity.
