THURSDAY, FEB. 12th, 1942 Yearly Rates - - Canada, $1.50 - U. S. A., $2,00 AMERICAN VETERANSERVES WITH THECANADIAN ARMY One of the two dozen N.C.O.’s and men who made up the detach­ ment of three officers and two nur­ sing sisters in charge of the display •f military equipment and supplies at the town hall, last Thursday, Fri­ day and Saturday, was a former Lieutenant in the United States Army, Allen Alderson Zoll of Dal­ las, Texas. Because of a .belief that it is the duty of the Anglo-Saxon race to 6ght for the preservation of democ­ racy and to free the peoples of the the world that have been overrun by the Nazi, Zoll gave up a high salaried profession of sales con­ sultant and advertising executive in New York City, to come to Canada and enlist as a private in the Can­ adian Army at Windsor on August 11th, 1941. Interviewed by The Tribune while in Ingersoll, Signalman Zoll stated that he could not wait for the Uni­ ted States to enter the war against Germany and Italy, so he came to Canada to help Britain in her battle for freedom. Although well past forty, he would be taken for one in his early thirties. He was born in Kansas and enlisted in the United States Army when in his teens. He saw service in the Mexican Border Campaign previous to the last Great War. Shortly after the United States declared war on Germany in 1917, he enlisted at Fort Root, Arkansas as a signaller and went overseas early in 1918. He fought in France with the 348th Infantry Battalion and at the time of his dis­ charge, August 13th, 1919, held the rank of 1st Lieutenant. Following the war, Zoll studied law at Harvard University, but never practiced that profession as he was attracted to sales work. For several years he'was a field sales manager for one of the largest hosiery mills in the United States and later entered business for him­ self as a Sales Consultant and Ad­ vertising executive with headquar­ ters in New York City. It was this position that he sacrificed to come to Canada to enlist in the Canadian Army. He is at present stationed at Wolseley Barracks, London, and is anxiously awaiting the chance to go overseas to get in action. Signalman Zoll of the Royal Can­ adian Corps of Signals, is one of the few men to enlist in this military district that can wear the ribbons which indicate medals for service in the American Border Battles and the World War. He believes every able bodied young man in Canada should hasten to enlist to serve his country in the great fight that the Allies now have on their hands.

Ingersoll Boy Is With Special Train Commenting on the CanadianArmy Demonstration train which was on exhibition in Toronto lastweek, the Toronto Star had the fol­ lowing to say regarding the person­nel in charge of the exhibits, one ofwhom is an Ingersoll young man, Corp. Lawrence Owen, son of Mr.and Mrs. Roy Owen, Oxford street, Ingersoll:“But the thousands of citizens who file through the train's corri­dors, studying in carefully organized sequence the work of the manyarms and services which composed a modern army, get only half thestory. Fully as interesting as theobjects on display, are the hand-picked specialists, drawn from everypart of the nation, who demonstrate them.“There is Corp. Lawrence Owen of Ingersoll, for instance. To givehim his full title he's Corp, the-Rev. Lawrence Owen, B.A. For eightyears before the war, Larry Owenbelonged to a peacetime signals unit The outbreak of the war found himtaking a course in divinity lit the University of Western Ontario. Hegraduated last June, was ordained' into the Church of England, thenjoined the forces—as a signaller.’’ VICTORYLOAN DRIVE Postmaster S. A.

Thurtell of the Victory Loan publicity committee expressed the hope that Ingersoll citizens in general would make a point of being down town to see and welcome this interesting and power­ ful unit. “Every Ingersoll householder is urged to display the flag during this Victory Loan campaign,*’ said Mr. W. L. Thurtell of the Publicity Committee. “You will all want to do so when victory is won—do it now to show your loyalty and faith in that victory." Mrs. John H.

DISPLAY OF MILITARYEQUIPMENT AND SUPPLIES Shown At Town Hall, Inger­ soll, On Saturday Afforded Public Opportunity To See How The “Gentlemen In Battledress” Are Cared For. With the view of bringing the Canadian Army out to the public so that the citizens of Canada may see and learn how the “Gentlemen in Battledress’’ arc cared for, a dis­ play of military equipment and sup­ plies was shown nt the town hall, Ingersoll, on Saturday, February 7th, from 10.00 a.m. to 10.00 p.m. The display was in charge of Major T. George Tilly, District Re­ cruiting Officer for Military District No. 1. His assistants, included Capt. A. O. Truscott of the Canadian Army Pay Corps; Lieut. S. G. Quinn of the Canadian Army Service Corps; Nursing Sisters K. McCul­ lough and B. Bowles of the London Military Hospital and 24 N.C.O.’s and men from the various units of the service. The convoy, which travels in eight army vehicles, arrived in Ingersollon Thursday. That afternoon and evening was spent in arranging the booths and setting-up the display. On Friday afternoon and evening the exhibits were open for inspect­ ion by members of the Oxford County Civilian Recruiting Com­ mittee, who were entertained at a banquet in the Ingersoll Inn Friday evening. The booths were manned by ex­ perienced N.C.O.’s from the particu­ lar unit each display represented. The Royal Canadian Army Service Corp booth, displayed the array of food served the soldiers, with a diet sheet showing the meals for each day of the week. In the booth of the Canadian Dental Corps, which serves the Royal Canadian Navy, the Royal Canadian Air Force and the Canadian Army was set-up a com­ plete Dental Clink showing that the best of dental equipment is pro- vided for the active service forces. The Royal Canadian Army Medi­ cal Corps was represented by a dis­ play of a hospital ward, showing the things that are provided for the care of patients who require hospi­ tal treatment. Two nursing sisters were in charge of this booth and explained in detail the various articles on display. On display in the Trades Train­ ing Exhibit were samples of various work done by the trainees in the various Trade Training Schools which are now in operation from coast to coast. It was interesting to note that a soldier in the Canadian Army has the opportunity of learn­ ing any one of 167 different trades, The Royal Canadian Ordinance Corps exhibit displayed articles of clothing and various items that are provided soldiers for their personal comfort, also the equipment and weapons with which they are sup­ plied. A display that attracted consider­ able interest was that of the Canad- 'N> Army Pay Corps where was4 trn the favorable comparison be­ tween the pay and per requisite received by the soldier and a civil­ ian labourer, which indicated that the “Gentlemen in Battledrcss", were much better off than a single labourer receiving 40c per hour or a married man with four children receiving nearly double that amount. The prime reason of the exhibi­ tion, which featured two moving picture shows during the morning, afternoon and evening, was to en­ courage recruiting by pointing out the ‘•Gentlemen in Battledresa,” are well cared for. In connection with the display was a booth of the Canadian Legion War Services in charge of Mr. Earl Gray. Here were exhibited copies of the various Free Correspondence Courses that are provided in pocket size, booklet form, for all on active service with the Canadian Forces.

The smallest number of policy holders for a numbers of years met last Friday in the Odd Fellows Hall, Kintore, to receive the sixty-fifth annual report of the Missouri Far­ mers’ Mutual Fire Insurance Com­ pany, which was adopted with­ out criticism. Mr. J. C. Hender­ son acted as chairman. The Com­ pany on 31st December, 1941, had' 3080 policies in force, which along with re-insurance carried for other Companies represents an amount of 113,631,277 insurance in force. Last year losses, the lowest for a number of years, amounted to $20,970.07 and enabled the Company to add $6,670.00 to their net surplus now standing at $70,692.38. Their assets show an investment of $80,- 080.50 in Government Bonds and approved debentures. Notice was given on the annual statement mailed policy holders, that a vote would be taken to auth­ orize the Directors to vote a dona­ tion of 3rr of 31st December, 1940 surplus to the Farm Mutual Under­ writers British Aid Fund. Several of the policy holders expressed their views during the discussion. Mr. Jelly, of Dorchester, gave a very interesting description of what the old country people have been up against, as learned from a person whose home had been destroyed over there, Mr. Vining of Thorn­ dale, strongly advocated that any surplus funds be invested in Gov- eminent Bonds and emphatically proclaimed his patriotism when wrongly understood one of the poP icy holders to call him a fifth col­ umnist. The resolution authoriz­ ing the donation of $1,920.67 car­ ried with one dissenting vote. Some of the policy holders were quite agreeable to voting a large amount but as this was the maximum an­ nounced on the statements, they felt it should not be exceeded. Messrs. McMaster, Quinn and Dunn, the retiring directors, were re-elected without opposition, also Messrs. Pearson and Mitchell as aud­ itors. The meeting closed with the singing of the National Anthem. At a subsequent directors* meet­ ing, F. E. Day, Embro, was elected president and R. S. Putt, Embro No. 1, vice-president. Mr. Jas. H. Davis, St. Marys and E. J. Gleason, Lake­ side, No. 1, were respectively re­ appointed treasurer and secretary. FOR YOUR VALENTINESMILES’N CHUCKLES CHOCOLATES - 56c lb.

THURDAY, FEBRUARY 12th, 1912 Hog Prices Outlook With the continuation of a strong export demand at stabilized prices, and a domestic market capable of absorbing additional quantities "of pork products whenever they become available, it is expected, says the Current Review of Agricultural Conditions in Canada, that hog prices should continue firm and well above 1941 levels during the first half of 1942 at least. Victory Loan Drive A campaign of the dimensions of that undertaken in Ontario in the framework of the forthcoming Second National Victory Loan Drive places a burden and heavy responsibility upon the shoulders of those in charge of administration and finance. The men who have assumed that burden and responsibility in Ontario this year as members of the Administration and Finance Committee of the Ontario Executive are: C. E. Abbs, vice-president of A. E. Ames and Company, Limited, vice-chairman. Messrs. E. G. Wills, President of Wills, Bickle and Company, and J, W, Parker of the same firm are treasurer and sec­ retary respectively of this committee. All campaign expenses including the smallest accounts incurred in the province of Ontario must be submitted for the perusal and approval of this committee before they go to Ottawa for settlement. There is not a busier committee among the six working under the direction of Ontario’s Provincial Executive Committee led by Messrs. A. E. Arscott, H R. Tudhope and R. V. LeSueur. Consumption of Sugar Canadians have a sweet tooth. The per capita con­ sumption of sugar amounts to almost 100 pounds per year, which is one of the highest rates of consump­ tion of any country in the world, even in normal times. As this means that more than a billion pounds of sugar are necessary to supply the annual Can­ adian requirements, it is of interest to know what source sweets are derived and to what extent these originate in Canada. Common everyday sugar purchased in the store to sweeten tea, coffee preserves and other foodstuffs, comes from two cultivated plants, the sugar cane and the sugar beet. Sugar cane furnishes the raw materials for about 80 per cent of Canadian require­ ments. This plant cannot be grown in Canada be­ cause it requires semi-tropical conditions. The sugar-beet -an be and is grown in Canada, and in 1940, 77,900 acres were planted, 38,200 acres in Ontario, 23.900 acr< s in Alberta and 15,800 acres in Manitoba. From thia total area, 825,000 tons of beets were harvested which yielded 213,602,500 pounds of refined sugar or approximately 19 per cent of the total sugar requirements of the Domin­ ion. This was the highest amount of beet sugar ever produced in Canada in a single year, the previous highest pounds, creased 1940. being in 1939 ^’hen it was 169,320,300 The value of this refined beet sugar in- from 58,063,300 in 1939 to $10,853,700 in only taking them right off the cars, but stealing them from salesrooms and any other place where they think they can get away with them. Tire steal­ ers arc dangerous individuals and law enforcement officers should be untiring in their zeal to apprehend and punish all offenders.—Owen Sound Sun-Times. Attorney General Conant .believes in locking the stable door before the horse is stolen. And so he advises law enforcement officers to watch out for a possible epidemic of tire and gasoline thefts because of the wartime restriction on the purchase of these commodities.—'Kitchener Record.

Ho says, ’’Four and a half billion dollars is a stupendous tax on five small countries, but it does not begin to represent the full weight of the burden Hitler has heaped upon the people he dominates, because the death and destruction, the torture and humiliation he has wrought upon them, cannot be translated into money figures. "The Dominion of Canada is this month asking its citizens to.proride $600,000,000 through the purchase of bonds (backed by the total resources of our own’ country), in order to carry on the war. We will re­ spond to this call willingly, quickly. "What aithe people of Europe getting for the billions they are paying every year in tribute to the powers that have crushed them? Only misery. The money we invest in the war loans will be restored u> u» with interest, just as every Victory Bond and every Liberty Bond sold in 1914-1918 was repaid in full, with interest. "And it will be used, not to strengthen a con­ queror, but to drive him back; to keep him from our own door; to preserve the security of our own way of life; to liberate those who have gone down before him. "The men and women engaged in all departments of the Canadian National System in Canada and the United States number today 100,060, and each one is doing hte or her part with the utmost rigor in order that our great transportation machine shall fulfill to the maximum its vital part in the war. "We are all in the struggle together, men and women of all ranks of railway service on both sides of the "Border which Unites.” , "I know you realize that we still have a long way to go; that you will not slacken your energies nor fail to meet the new demands of the war as they rias. ■X'omr then: let us to the task.

That is why we lend our voice to the national chorus which is urging citizens to buy Victory Bonds to the very limit of their ability. Victory Bonds are the safest investment you can make. They are backed by all the resources of the Dominion of Canada. They pay good interest. But above all, they give you a share in the tremendous task of defeating our enemies.

Avoid Marketing Light Weight Hogs In commenting on the recent or­ der prohibiting the slaughter of hogs of less than 130 pounds dressed weight at exporting packing plant*, Hon. J, G. Taggart, Chairman of the Bacon Board states “that fanners in Canada have frequently express­ ed an earnest desire for direction as to how they could best help the war effort. Here fa one very definite and important contribution that every hog producer can make. Feed every healthy hog” he said "until it weighs at least 200 pounds. If the farmers of Canada set this as their objective at least 30 million pounds of addi­ tional bacon will be made available for export to Great Britain during the present contract year." The purpose of the order with respect to light hogs is two-fold;— Fir;*t, to secure great quantities of pork and bacon for Britain, and second, to reduce the number of hogs being marketed unsuitable for bacon export to Gieat Britain. Farmers are again urged by the Bacon Board to feed all suitable hogs to a minimum of at least 20t pounds live weight at the farm. "Put up your hands!” cvr.'.manded the larger of the two bandits wh* had stopped the motoreoach, "We’re goin' to rob the gents and kis* all the ladies.” "No", remonstrated the smaller one, gallantly. "We’ll rob the genta all right, but we’ll leave the ladies alone.” “Young man,” snapped * woman passenger of uncertain age, "mind your own business!

Capt. Norman Rawson of Centenary United Church, Hamilton. Following the showing of motion pictures depicting scenes in the pre­ sent war, Lt.-Col. Harry Ubelacher, Woodstock, Honorary Colonel of the Oxford Rifles, and a member of the Oxford Civilian Recruiting Commit­ tee, took charge as chairman of the meeting, in place of the County Chairman, Harold Henderson. Lt.-Col. Ubelnchur on taking the chair, congratulated Ingersoll on the fine banquet that was given the men of the various services during Christmas week, through the spon­ sorship of the Ingersoll Kiwanis Club. He said this was an example that might wellcbe followed by other centres in the county. He attributed the reason for the small number of enlistments in the Canadian Army as due to the fact the Army in the (Mist has been short in selling itself to the young men whom it needs. The purpose of the gathering he ex­ plained was to inform the members of the Civilian Recruiting Commit­ tee of the opportunities afforded young men who enlist in the Can­ adian Army. The meeting was addressed by Brigadier D. J. MacDonald, D.S.O., M.C., District Officer Commanding Military District No 1, London. The Brigadier outlined the system of re­ inforcements for Army Units and the method of their formation. He ap­ pealed to the leaders in local com­ munities to influence and guide young men into the services. >ln the last War Canada had four Divisions and a Cavalry Brigade and to keep these in the field more than 500,000 men had to be called up, which meant that five men had to be called to keep one man in the field. The objectiva of Canada at the pre­ sent time he said is six divisions and we now have four divisions and a tank brigade overseas, which is the equivalent of the number we sent overseas in the war of 1914 to 1918. In addition to this, there are over 100,000 men in the R.C.A.F. and 25,000 men in the Royal Can- adian Navy at the present time. The task at the present time is in securing reinforcements and hav­ ing them ready for the field when they are wanted, the Brigadier stated. He pointed out that it takes considerable time to train and get men ready to serve in the field, and reviewed the system followed in training recruits. In making refer­ ence to Trade Training he pointed out that this was a great help to the individual who enlisted as it fitted him for a return to civil life at the end of the war. The speaker appealed to his hearers to influence and encourage young men to serve as volunteers and said that during January, 937 men had enlisted for active service in the Canadian Army, in this Mili­ tary District Major J. L. Hennessey, Senior Roman Catholic Chaplain for M.D. No. 1, and a former North Oxford Township boy, spoke on the “Spirit­ ual care of the troops.” He pointed out that -the members of the Chap­ plain Services had the duty of bringing into the lives of the men in the armed forces the fact that there is still a God that rules the universe. He said, “Contrary to the opinions of some, "When a man joins the Army he does not lose his soul.” Major Hennessey declared, “After the war is over, we are going to have a church going people, as the men in the army are now more church conscious than before they entered the service. Private Gray and Recruit Miss Hilda Ellis of the Canadian Wom­ en’s Army Corps, were paraded be­ fore the gathering to show a “Gen­ tleman in Battledress” and a “Lady in Uniform.” Major W. D. Busk, District Pay­ master, outlined the “Pay and Al­ lowances”, paid the men in the Can­ adian Army, this was given he said, purely for information purposes and to show that a recruit in the Can­ adian Army was one of the highest paid soldiers in the world. Miss Mary R. Barker, Junior Commander of the Canadian Wom­ en's Army Corps in this district, spoke on the subject, “Women’s Place in the Army.” Miss Barker said the C.W.A.C. was open fq/ women recruits between the ages of 21 and 40. This was the first lime in Canada that women were being given the opportunity to serve on an equal basis with the men of the country. She outlined the require­ ments for enlistment in the C.W.A. C. and appealed for recruits. Col. W. H. Kippelt; D.S.O., M.C., London, of the Head Quarters Staff, stressed “The Need for Men.” He reviewed the general situation of the war throughout the world and said that while he did not believe that Britain would lose, he felt that we are not making all the prepara­ tions we should to win the war. He pointed out that a man joining the army did not sacrifice a great deal as far as pay was concerned. He referred to the new dress uniform that will be issued shortly to the Army and expressed the belief that this would be an aid to recruiting. He urged all members of the Civile ian. Recruiting Committee to stress the fact that young men who vol­ unteered for service stood a much better chance for advancement than one who waited to be forced in, arid he suggested that their advice~to” young men be, that they offer their service to the Army. Following the afternoon meeting, a banquet, to which over seventy- five sat down, was held in the Inger­ soll Lieut.-Col. Harry UbeL acher acui- chairman and the guests were w ?omed to Ingersoll Canadian Army Demonstration Train WILL BE IN INGERSOLL AT THE C.N.R.

Murray, who was unable to be present. * The guest speaker was Capt. Rev. Norman Rawson, Minis­ ter of Centenary United Church, Hamilton, a veteran of the last war. He was introduced by F. Earl John­ ston, of Ingersoll. Capt. Rawson, in a brilliant ad­ dress, made a stirring apeal for an all-out effort in support of the Allies in their present fight. He declared, “We haven’t time to fool around with party politics while this war is on. We have a big job on our hands, let us get at it." He impressed upon the gathering the seriousness of the situation that is facing us at the present time, and expressed the be­ lief that many people in Canada have a false idea of this war. “We are altogether too compla­ cent," he declared, “I do not think the voluntary system will produce all the recruits we need. It will take away our finest sons and leave the derelicts to carry on. I favor compulsory selective sendee for every avenue of life. I believe that property and all else should be con­ scripted if we are to win the war in the shortest possible time.” Capt. Rawson added, “There is nothing wrong with the people of Canada if they understand the true situation. We must not underestim­ ate our task. We have a foe on our hands worthy of our steel. Our job is a man-sized job, against a foe well trained and thoroughly equip­ ped. The war to date, has demon­ strated that the German is a good soldier, and the Jap is a good sec­ ond. I believe as soon as we can get our people conscious of the serious­ ness of our position we wil have gone a long way towards winning our battles.” * In conclusion, Capt. Rawson said, •’Back of all our efforts, there is one man, who for lack of a better name, we call God. If we believe in him, in spite of all our mistakes, and find ourselves ranged on His side, we will win through to a better day, but before this comes about, we must be prepared to pay the price.” The thanks of the gathering were extended to Capt. Rawson by Rev, R. Harold Parr, minister of Trinity United Church, Ingersoll, a college classmate of the speaker. Before the gathering dispersed,. Brigadier D. J. MacDonald, D.O.C. of M.D. No, 1, was called upon for Smith, Woodstock, formerly of Del­ hi, Rev. Maurice Farr officiating.The bride who was unattended, wore a pretty floor-length frock ofwhite taffeta, the gift of an aunt in England, silver slippers and a whitepicture hat.

Committee reports were received on the following:— Boys’ work, Gordon Pittock, ice frolic, Bert Carr , and the “At Home,’’ by Howard Horton. Doctor Reg. Rogers led in a sing song assisted by Ewart Bartley at the piano. The local club was honoured by the official visit of James Kendrick of Guelph, the Regional Director of Y’smen. Mr. Kendrick outlined var­ ious ways in which the movement could be developed and improved not only regionally but internation­ ally. It was pointed out at the inter­ national convention held in Chicago that there should be a survey made of all the clubs in North America. The national council apointed Roy Sorenson to undertake this work. It has taken two years to complete this survey and at present it is not off the press. It presents an un­ biased report of the strength and weakness of Y’sdom. The speaker outlined the high­ lights of this survey. Firstly, Y’men clubs have proven their worth; secondly, the Y. M. C. A. should find more ways to allow the expansion of this movement. There is not sufficient co-relation be­ tween Y’men directors and Y. M. C. A. officials. Thirdly, clubs must build their membership, enrich their pro­ grammes and maintain an age level. In the present war situation with members answering the call, it was suggested that older men be brought in to fill their places. Fourthly, all clubs were to be commended on their work with boys but too few pay any attention to young men. The reas­ on given was that there was too little difference in the age of mem­ bers and young men. It was sug­ gested that discussion groups be formed. The national council in the Y. M. C- A. have an extremely active committee in this work head­ ed by Murray Ross. They held a convention a year ago at Montreal where it was found that it was the desire of Youth to know Canada bet­ ter. As a result of this the book •‘We Discuss Canada,” was published dealing with social, economic and labor problems. Mr. Kendrick also discussed World Outlook saying that it was hard for anyone to under­ stand for the more you s^udy it the less you seem to know. By corres­ pondence and the exchange of bul­ letins we get to know what the other fellow’ is doing and can ap­ preciate his viewpoint. The speaker then dealt with the formation of new clubs. It was pointed out that the club at Belle­ ville had obtained a leave for the duration of the war. The remain­ ing members are carrying on war work. At the present time a club at Niagara Falls is being formed. Mr. Kendrick believed that there should be more visiting of members from one club to another. He also backs the editing of a regional bulletin so that every member knows what every club is doing, Y’smen Max Poole introduced Mr. Kendrick and Y'sman Gordon Waters expressed the appreciation of those present. Alex Duncan, presi­ dent of the Guelph Club was also present and brought greetings from that club. Gordon Pittock announced that on February 11th, the local Ban- taifis will play -Simcoe on the lat­ ter’s ice and' the Midgets will journ- $APPHiRES,-d L)iAMO?©S Do r o t h y Cr ippl e Tr o w br id s E ' ^ CHAPTER SYNOPSIS Percy Horton, whose older sister.

Maxine assures •me he is among the best in hisline in California. Have you thoughtback carefully over your actionsIslnce you last saw your ring, Nancy?’’ “Oh, yes. Mrs. Horton, quitecarefully.” “You do seem to take the mattervery sensibly, I am sure. Peggylooks more as U she had not sleptthan you do.” It was true that Peggy had not>slept well. She had been out ofbed several times to look againamong the clothes she had worn tothe train. Could it be possible thatshe had dropped it on the old wood­en platform of the atatlon when shewent to put it into her bag? Or hadit just dropped in plain sight of any­one who might come along and pickit up? But she remembered so wellputting it into the bag and closingit. What on earth was she going to say to Harry next Wednesday ifshe had not found it by then? Soher mind had raced throughout thenight. No wonder Gran thought shelooked as If she had not slept. “Of course I am worried. Gran.To have Nancy lose such a gor­geous ring here!” Her grandmother smiled at her."But, my dear, ring* cannot runaway And we know that there isno one here tjho would have takenit, so that leaves It simply mis­placed. I feel aure that Mr New­ton will be able to suggest the placewhere it must be Oh. that must behe. I hear an automobile. We will go into the front parlor and see him'there,”Maxine followed William to the front door while Mrs. Horton andi the two girls crossed the hall andentered the front parlor Peggy was’surprised that her grandmother hadchosen this place to receive a de­tective. It was here that Gran usu­ally greeted her more important‘guests. The old lady settled herself in ahigh backed chair with her back tothe window, her tiny feel placeddaintily side by side on an ottoman,the covering of which had beenwoven by her mother »n-Iaw WhenMrs. Horton sat in that big chairwith her feet on the ottoman shewas like some little powerful judgewho passed senterate on those whowere brought before him, Peggyunderstood that now Her grand-rriother was going to judge this Mr.Newton whom Maxine was recom­mending Peggy had not thought ofjudging a detective, except by his need in taking over the job andfinding the ring. "Well, putting It In another w.tectivc method do you use?” She smiled to herself ns shethought of some big Irishman— weren't all detectives Irish, or didthat only apply to city cops?—com­ ing into this room of her ancestorsand being judged by Gran. Sheremembered a detective she hadseen in one of Maxine’s pictures. Hewas a large fat man who wore aderby hat on the back of his head,and who seemed always to have along cigar stuck in the comer ofhis mouth. Suppose that was theman she could hear Maxine talkingto now in the hall. Could Maxinereally know someone like that? Ifa fat man with a derby on theback of his head and a cigar in the corner of his mouth entered thisroom he might just as well give upall thought of his helping her findthe ring. Gran would get rid ofhim without giving him a chance,she was sure."Oh, I hope he won’t be too bad.”she prayed fervently as she heardfootsteps crossing the hall. Sheshut her eyes, waiting to hear howGran greeted him before she lookedto see what he was like. "Gran," Maxine was saying,"this is Stanley Newton, a friend of mine from California My grand­mother, Mrs. Horton, Stanley." "I am delighted to meet you, Mr.Newton,” Gran sounded as if she really meant It, and the musclesaround Peggy’s tightly closed eyesbegan to relax.“I can't tell you—’’ Peggy didn’thear any more. He? eyes wereopen now. Wide open. She knewthat voice. He wasn’t fat, he wasn’twearing a derby, and he did nothave a cigar In his mouth. Mr.Newton was the Man from Califor­nia. So that waa what a real de­tective was like. “And my sister, Miss MargaretHorton," Maxine was saying, aftershe had Introduced him to Nancy.Peggy had been standing in theshadows of the room and he evi­ dently had not seen her until Max­ine spoke. Recognizing her now bestarted eagerly forward. “How do you do?" was her chillygreeting. He stopped abruptly. "How doyou do.” he answered with no in­flection. “Is the man crazy?” Peggythought. "Imagine Gran’s expres­sion if I had rushed forward andwe had shaken hands. Nice explana­tion. We had talked twice withouteither of us knowing who the otherone was. Yes, that would havegone over big. J can see where heand Gran will pot get along at alL” But on the contrary he and Granseemed to be getting along famous­ly She had been watching Mr. Newton closely, and now smiled athim—one of Gran’s nicest smiles—and he smiled back, and Peggy feltsure it was one of his very best,also. "You won’t think me presump­tuous, will you, Mr. Newton.” Granbegan, "if I ask you which youconsider the greatest — SherlockHolmes. Philo Vance or HerculePoirot?" Mr. Newton drew his chair a lit­tle closer to the high backed onethat held his hostess and leanedforward with enthusiasm. "Presumptuous? I should say not,but you see that is something Iwould much rather discuss withyou than just answer right off. As 1see it Sherlock Holmes had—“ ButPeggy lost track of the conversa­tion as she turned a puzzled face toMaxine, who shrugged her shoul­ders and looked blank. What onearth were they la Iking about? Ofcourse she had heard of SherlockHolmes, but what had he to do withthese other two men? And whatdid Gran know about detectives"Peggy fait sure she bad never seenone before. ’'Well, putting It tn another way,”Gran began again, "which detec­tive method do you um?” "To tell you the truth, I rathe; combine a little of each of thereand from that make my own method. I find I get the best result!that way.” Mrs. Horton nodded slowly,"Yes,” she agreed. "I see howthat might,be done. Now in thiscase, of course, all you have to goon is that Miss Sawyer arrived herewith the ring in her possession andlast night when sho went to pul iton it had disappeared.” "The servants?" the detective be­gan quickly, but Gran raised hersmall hand peremptorily, “To doubt the servants, Mr. New-ton, is out of the question.” “So that is that," he agreed. "You are quite sure you had thering with you?” he continued, turn­ing to Nancy. Peggy was feelingvery uncomfortable both for her­self and for Nancy, but the lattermerely shrugged her shoulders. "Of course I had it. And now noone can find it,” she replied indif­ferently. He looked at her In silence for amoment “You make it sound like•Thimble, thimble, who’s got thethimble.’ ” he told her. ’ Now Ishall use my own method.” he ex­plained to Mrs. Horton, “’flirs Saw-yer lost her rfqp but th'- nr- son I should like to’question is MissMargaret.” "Just as you think best," Granagreed, rising quickly, turning toMaxine and Nancy. "Come, girls.We shall wait on the back terracefor your next move.” "Can’t we go outside some placeto talk?" he asked Peggy when theothers had disappeared down thehall She glanced through the par­lor windows at the rose garden. "We might go out there," shesuggested. Leaving the house quietly theywent down the front steps and turn­ing the comer of the house enteredthe garden. "Whew,” he breathed In relief,taking his cigarette case from hispocket and offering it to Peggy, whoshqpk her head. "May I?” he asked.When she nodded her assent, hestopped for a moment to light his cigarette while she continued upthe walk towards the summerhouse. “Your friend Nancy is ahelpful little soul, isn’t she?" heasked, joining her. "What is It you wished to askme?" Peggy asked him without re­plying to his question about Nancy. He laughed. "To tell you thetruth I don't know. I only knew Iwanted to talk to you and thatseemed the best way to do itThings have come so fast and furi­ously that I am al] befuddled. Lastnight when Maxine said her sla­ter had lost her ring and for me tocome out and help find it. it seemedal! right. Of course, I didn’t knowthen that her sister was you. And Ididn’t know that you were engaged.And now to be perfectly honest Idon’t give a hoot about finding your engagement ring. Couldn’t we just’forget that and talk about ourselvestor a while?" "Certainly not," Peggy said in­dignantly. stepping into the summerhouse. "I shall answer any ques­tions you care to ask about thering, but tbat is all." "I suppose you’re right,” hesighed, seating himself beside her.’ Take one thing at a time. Well,let’s hurry and get it over Nowlet’s see. a ring is lost By theway, what kind <a a ring is it?” "An engagement ring.”"Yes, so I have been told, butyou needn't rub it In. What’s allthis big idea anyway about so much secrecy? If tt’s your engagementring why pretend to your grand­mother it’s Miss Nancy a? ' "We can go into all that some other tune," Peggy told him eotdly. (TOBECOAT/.M AVON Mr. and Mrs. Earl Harrington of Tillsonburg were Sunday guests of.Mrs. Harington's parents, Mr. andMrs. I.

In fact, his achievements are discussed in well-informed circles in Ottawa to a far greater extent than it would appear to be the case of casual read­ ing of dispatches or reports from the capital. Not only are Cana­ dian industries geared to meet all war needs but shipments are going out at a steadily increasing rate, with total value for the past year reaching the figure of $3,089,139,- 658 as compared with $2,275,168,- 311 in 1940, marking an increase of $813,971,347. Moreover, the balance in Canada's favour for the fuli year amounted to $191,769,124. Last year it was only $111,266,873. In the last total war year of 1918, shipments amounted to a value of $1,540,028,000, but it must be noted that many commodities were lower during 1941, including wheat, cop­ per and sugar, as the Hon. J. A. MacKinnon has pointed out, and this means the present volume of exports was higher than ever before. In face of the beclouded conditions, trade is at its highest point on re­ cord. THE TIP-OFF ON POLITICS IN OTTAWA Notwithstanding all outward signs in the nation’s capital indicating that politics, politics, and more pol­ itics, with no little oratory, are com­ ing out of the latest doings in the wartime session, yet a well-informed observer along Parliament Hill can report al this momentous time that behind the scenes there is now de­ veloping in Ottawa a united, not divided, political front tO\co-operate in true statesmanship manner for the bigger objectives or larger aims to be achieved by this waning nation than are contained in the usual politician’s handbook. This is a late date for the beginning of a thing so fundamental in wartime. However, it can also be reported at the same time that the public an­ xiety and private deprivations of this war have only begun for the man-in-the-street, too. and they are going to be unusual and serious, with the result that everyone will have to put an end for the duration of this war to ideas of carrying on their way of life as usual, business ns usual, profits as usual, politics as usual and oratory as usual. That, as everyone in Canada will realize, is news, no matter from what strange and unaccustomed source it may spring. There is something very good or very bad in the Canadian way of parliamentary life now developing out of this backstage trend or desire to end bitter political struggles and to bring together certain political factors under unified and competent leadership, though those who follow closely the course of such develop­ ment in Ottawa fear that it may be bedeviled or delayed by tempor­ ary unfortunate splits within some political ranks. But it is coming, even if somewhat delayed. In the midst of the greatest war in world history, when human life is being destroyed wholesale, the tip-off is that the lawmakers or leaders of all political parties in Ot­ tawa are more in actual agreement on “two essential and basic princi­ ples” for solving Canada’s war prob­ lems than may be appearing on the surface of heated debates in face of the fact that in the spread to cover everything in this session the political blanket is somewhat torn. One basic principle is that politic­ al dictatorship cannot be put over on this nation with its background of a long struggle for constitutional liberty that goes back several cen­ turies and that is the cultural inheri­ tance of the people, this being some­ thing that in fact was dead in other lands or it had never time enough really to live. While desperate factions or radical politicians may try to manipulate by sheer dogma­ tism that tends to divide people, to drive them to extremes, to force sensible men to takes sides on issues which are at best only half true, and to cause many persons to lose their judgments, yet they fepresent a minority, not the nation or masses. In other words, political dictatorship in Ottawa is impossible. The other basic principle is that since Canada la engaged in this war as a full partner of the democracies and their allies it is bound to make decisive changes in the organism of this young and growing country as history has shown again and again. It is only necessary to recall what happened in Canada after the last World War. As a direct result of Canada accepting full responsibili­ ties in that terrible war and giving quite freely in men, money, and other resources, this country gained constitutional, political and econo­ mic independence. She became a nation among^he nations of the world. Although that^fcrld War No. I cost Canada an average of 1300,- 006,000 and 30,000 men for each year of the five yean of struggle, yet she came out of that war a more united, a stronger pc«pk spiritually, and a much wealthier nation econo­ mically. The United States and WESTERN INVASION WILL PRODUCE RESULTS When over 400 Western farmers marched up along Parliament Hill in the first mass invasion witnessed in the capital in many years in order to demand a better price on the 1942 crop on the basis of ‘-‘parity” with the 1926-1929 purchasing pow­ der of their dollar, it must be ad­ mitted that the general appeal ance of these prairie agriculturists made a remarkable impression. Though the farmers spent $43,000 to send this huge delegation in special trains and the delegates slept in their rail­ way cars in Ottawa’s famous Union Station, yet their efforts are more than likely to bring in time belter prices for the farmer’s agricultural products. Various major proposals are now under serious consideration. NO COMMITMENT ON CONSCRIPTION Notwithstanding the allegation that there was some commitment between Premier King and Premier Godbout on conscription, yet this has been denied emphatically, with Premier King declaring in Parlia­ ment that “there is no understand­ ing, expressed or implied, with Mr. Godbout or any other person on earth with the attitude 1 propose to take after the plebiscite.” CANADA’S TRADE AT HIGHEST POINT Through the initiative and skilful work of a tireless Minister of Trade and Commerce, Hon..

Great Britain invested in Canada over two billion -dollars and they did it for the purposes of producing necessities of war, though in actual­ ity this created in Canada a great economic structure in excess of the requirements of the population in this country at that time. But when the war was over, Canada did not abandon this giant structure and she did not return to obscurity as a manufacturing and exporting nation of industrial products. In­ stead she continued on the path started in that World War and she competed for world markets with all other manufacturing nations of the globe, succeeding in a remark­ able manner. She became one of the few money-lending nations of the world. She produced wealth of almost unbelievable amounts for export. Without any worthwhile position amongst the manufacturing nations of the world in 1914, she was in fifth position in this respect in 1928. Though her strength be­ fore that struggle was concentrated in primary production, such as agri­ culture, forestry and mining, yet secondary productions rose to great heights. She developed economi­ cally ail along the line of using her natural resources, such as those ob­ tained from her fisheries, mines, forests, water power, and farm lands, in a manner to keep pace with the phenomenal technological progress of the times. In simple language, Canada really found herself in world affairs in the last World War by accepting the full responsibilities of a nation amongst nations in the dem­ ocratic orbit. Just as in the lives of individuals, benefits amongst nations cannot be obtained by any nation which avoids or tries to avoid ' doing it£ duty or accepting its full The S p ir it o f The Pioneer Mother F la m es Anew Today T hink BACK to the old days —when Canada ■was young.

In thousand* *f Canadian homes, women are revising their family budgets, planning new economies, mak­ ing extra sacrifices—so that more and more money will be available for the purchase of Victory Bonds. They know — these women of Canada —that every dollar loaned now means more tanks—more guns— more planes—more ships—more of everything which is needed to smash Hitlerism and bring Peace to all the family hearths of the world. responsibility. Every war must end and every war must have a post-war period. Canada’s lawmakers and leaders along Parliament Hill know it. Therefore, there is not the slight­ est doubt about the effects of this second basic principle influencing or inducing the solution of Canada's war problems. Beneath the surface of these waves of oratory, political parties in this session are more in agree­ ment on the “two essential and basic principles" for solving this na­ tion’s war problems than they care to admit openly for various reasons. The ftian-in-the-street throughout Canada may not realize it. but a veteran observi-r along Parliament Hill can detect it.
