THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 19th, 1942 ‘Cork’ A Vital War Material Possibly one of the least publicized of our “vital war materials" figuring prominently in Canada's war effort today is the simple substance cork. For centuries cork has been an important item of international commerce. Up to now it has been accepted matter-of-factly by, the public as it played its essential part in peacetime manufacture of such every day household necessities as bottle stoppers, floats and buoys and penholder grips. Today it is in the front line, going to war in many and varied forms. Cork is the outer bark of a certain species! of oak which, curiously enough, grows only in Mediterran­ ean countries. The tree reaches a height of about 30 feet, has oblong evergreen leaves with a downy surfaced underside. Although it is usually found in the company of firs and other evergreen oaks, in parts of Tunis there are forests consisting entirely of cork oaks, and the bark is of extremely high quality. In collecting cork, it is customary to slit the tree trunk perpendicularly from top to bottom, and make two horizontal incisions. Sometimes it is stripped in pieces the whole length and sometimes in shorter ones. For this purpose a very sharp, curved knife, with a handle at both ends is used. In some instances, after the incisions have been made in the bark, the cork is left on the trees until, with tho growth of new bark underneath it becomes loose enough to be removed by hand. In the course of eight or nine years the same tree will yield a second supply of cork, the quality im­ proving with each successive stripping. Trees thrive for over 150 years, still yielding valuable supplies in their ripe old age. After being detached from the tree, the cork is first thoroughly soaked in water and then dried. Next comes the "refining” process in which the pieces are placed over hot coals and blackened. This makes the surface smooth and conceals the smaller blemishes. The larger cracks and holes are filled with soot and dirt. They are then loaded with weights to make them even, are dried and stacked or packed in bales ready for exportation. Farmers Urged To Conserve Milk Cans The supply of new milk and cream cans normally required each year by dairy farmers may not be available in 1942 because of the scarcity of steel and tin, both of which are now rigidly controlled, states the Dairy Products Board, Canada, as well as many other countries, depended on Malaya for supplies of tin and since the war spread to the Pacific this source is cut off. The Board advises all farmers and dairy organiz­ ations that it is urgent to bring into use all milk and cream cans which may be out of circulation, either because the farmer has no use for them at present, or for the want of repair by soldering or re­ tinning. Cans should be used only for the purpose for which they are intended, as containers for milk or cream, states the Board. Any other use of them is wastage and should be stopped. Farmers who own their own cans should make their present supply last as long as possible, by using them for milk or cream only. The Board urges properly drying the cans after washing and having worn or rusted cans re­ tinned at once and that fanners who have cans in their possession which do not belong to them should return them to the owner. Creameries and other dairies, which practise loan­ ing cans to farmers are advised to spare no effort to repossess such as have been lost track of and that a system be adopted that will- insure prompt return of unused cans to their proper owners, thus reducing as far as possible the need for replacements. Many Birds Killed By Air Rifles There is an agitation on foot for legislation to prohibit the sale to juniors of “BB” guns and air rifles. The general manager of the Ontario Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals says he is constantly receiving complaint* from all parts of the province regarding the destruction of wild birds and animals by juveniles armed with deadly light guns. The boys like a living target, and it is idle for parents to excuse' themselves by claiming that the weapons were purchased with the understanding that they would ibe used in shooting at a fixed target. It may be pointed out that there are laws pertaining to the use of "BB" and air guns by boys under the age of fifteen years, but like many other laws they are difficult to enforce. It would be necessary to em­ ploy an army of officials to enforce the law m long Ta* these dangerous instruments can be purchased at almost any department or hardware store in the province. In a country like Canada, where agricul­ ture is the basic industry, the value of birds cannot be too strongly strewed. They are in fact the chief natural factor* in keeping In check injurious farm and forest insects noxious weeds and destructive rodents. A pledge for an all-out support for the Victory Loan Campaign by the Central Region headquarter* staff of the Canadian National Railways, the em­ ployees of Southern Ontario District and the men of the running trades, was made at a big meeting of key men of the railway*, bald in Toronto fa the Oak Room of the Union Station. The gathering, which was presided over by Major F. L. C. Bond, D.S.O , regional vice-president and general manager, num­ bered more than 300 officers and representatives of the various railway brotherhood* and office etaffa LOOKING BACK 25 YEARS From the Files of The Oxford Tribune, Ingersoll, Canada, Thursday, February 22, 1917 Mrs. A.

What would you do, Joe?" • “I’d move down the bench fur­ ther where I could see better,” was Joe’s reply. An old fellow, crossing the At­ lantic, was leaning over the rail whe nthe information fiend tapped him on the shoulder. "Sir,” he said with n wave of his hand, “do you know that if the earth were flatten­ ed out the sea would be miles deep all over the world?" The old fellow looked impressed. “Well,” he replied, "if you catch anyone flattening out the earth, shoot him on the spot. I can’t swim!” There are many problems in these' troublous times, and here is one from good “Ole Demshur.” The little girl met the coal man at the gate, and said, “None today, thank you!" “What!" said he. “Coals is coals nowadays.” ‘ “Oh, wait a moment; I will tell mother, for she said the last lot was half slates,” She returned and said: "One hun­ dred-weight of coal, please, and no slates." ’ Mrs. John Jewhurst and Mr. and Mrs. Max.

From Harry Wilson whom shemeets by chance, she borrows a ring towear as an engagement ring. Nancy,who has recently broken her engagementto Pidge, is much Interested in Peggy’sring. When Peggy loses It, Maxine tellsher grandmother the ring was Nancy'sand asks a friend. Stanley Newton, whoshe says Is a detective, to help And It.Gran likes Stanley ace discusses theloss with him. "Well, that’s a help. At least It holds out a promise for anothertime. Don’t worry. I won’t for­ get." he assured her. Of course allthis was no way for a detective tofind anything, and she should beangry, but Peggy realized that shewas not meeting his eye becauseshe knew she would laugh with himif she did. And she knew that would never do. "Having progressed so rapid­ ly, suppose you describe the afore­mentioned ring." He took an enve­lope and a pencil from his pocketand sat forward evidently preparedto write."It’s a big diamond—a square cutone." •'Oh, I see, a nice juicy squarecut solitaire." "Yes. No—wait a minute. It wasn’t just a solitaire. There weresome other stones with It—sap­phires. Yes, I remember therewere several sapphires." He looked at her In surprise."Are you by any chance describingyour own engagement ring? Or is this something you saw one day asyou pas. ”d a jeweler’s window?" Peggy did feel foolish. "Don't beridiculous. I am so upset and wor­ried I can scarcely think.” •’Oh, I’m sorry. All right, then,we have It a square cut diamondwith some sapphires. How many sapphires?" "I don't know."His only reply was a slight rais­ing of his eyebrows which Peggysaw beneath half-lowered lids."Were they Ln any kind of a de­ sign or—just there?" ’’Heavens! 1 don't know. Youfind any square cut diamond ring "Do I see?” Stanley cried. Catching her In bls arms be whirled her madly about the small enclosure. and at the sight of me beats it. Andas tor you. instead of rushing tothe arms of your lover, you utter aterrified squeal of 'Harry* and lookas if you were going to faint NowI ask you, is that any way tor aloving couple to act? Shall I leave? If that is what is embarrassing you—" "Oh, no, don't" Peggy pleaded.,If she were left alone Harry mightcome back. Then what would shesay? Stanley threw bls hands In the air."It is too much for me," he an-nounced walking back in the sum­ mer house. "You simply have no Imagina­ tion.” Peggy told him. "In spiteof all your theories. My—engage­ment to him Is broken and he Iscoming back tor bls ring. Naturallyhe doesn't want to ask tor. It be­fore strangers, and naturally I don'twant to see him until I have thering to give him. Now do you see? ” There was enough truth tn this statement to make Peggy feel al­most straight forward. "Do 1 see?" Stanley cried. Catch­ing her In his arms, he whirled hermadly about the small enclosure."Oh, boy, do I? Now we can sitdown and talk about ourselves, can’t we? Certainly we can.” Suddenly "Dey's done rang de gong for din­ner long time ago," he announced."Mis’ Ma’y said for me to comsfind yo' all. Ah'se been all aroun*.** •'Why, are you' sure?” Peggyasked in surprise. "We didn't bearany gong.”"No’m, Ah reckon not But it’sdone rang. An' yo’ can sho’ hear dat gong when dey rings it wayoff. Ef yo' mine ain't wand'rin’.” Stanley chuckled and threw thsboy a piece of silver that made thelittle darkey's face shine like pol­ished ebony. Peggy ran throughthe path of the rose garden withStanley close behind her. The oth­ ers were still on the back terracewaiting for them."I’m sorry," they both began,breathlessly.“Peggy must have told you alot," Maxine said, with a mischiev­ous smile."She did," Stanley assured her. "I found out a number of thingithat encourage me Immensely.” "Oh.” said Mrs. Horton, In satis­faction that her granddaughter hadbeen of some help. "Ohl” queried Maxine, in a tontthat Implied "Now what?""Ohl" came Nancy’s startled tone, and "Ohl” exclaimed Peggy. with some sapphires in it, and Iassure you that will be the ring,”Peggy had Jumped to her feet an­grily, and was standing at the en­trance to the summer house withher back to him. She heard the rustling of paper as he stuffed the envelope back Lnhis pocket. “It just doesn't make sense.” heannounced, joining her. "If 1 gavea gir) a ring like that and shecouldn't describe it any more clear­ly than you have I'd know damwell she didn't care anything aboutme " •'Have you been engaged andmarried frequently, Mr. Newtor ” ”1? Oh, no. I know I'm futhat way. I’ve always felt th. only wanted to propose to one cand that would be the girl I wasdam’ sure I wanted to marry.” "And you haven't found the girl,in spite of knowing so well how shewould be effected by the ring?” "Yes. I’m pretty sure that I've found the girl." he replied thought--fully. "J was getting a tittle low at the prospect of marriage, butmy hopes are getting higher. Itmay all come out ‘all right after all."There was a low whistle on the other side of the hedge which nth ther of them heard. ’But I don't like looking for any­thing so indefinite as this ring asyou describe it. Perhaps it wouldbe better to ask the young man.(Probably he could tell me more>bout It” "'•Peggy was conscious that Stanleywas watching her closely "Unfor­tunately, he is out of town," shereplied casually• When Will be be back?” "Next week."But just as she spoke she real­ ized a man had suddenly appearedtn tiie opening tn the side of thehedge’Harry!" she erted aghastAt tiie sight of the two figures inthe summer house Harry bad re­ treated from view. Stanley Newton started forward but she laid a restraining hand on bis arm, andbe turned back,■Who is he?” he asked, a pua-sled expression on his face. "Couldhe be the thief?""Heaven* nol"Al her tone, be turned to her he released her."No," she shook her head breath­lessly, 'That’s just what we can’tdo. Don’t you see how important it is to find the ring now—rightaway?” "Lord, that's right. I had for­gotten all about the ring. Haven'tyou any Idea where the dam’ thingcould be? Where did you have ithidden?’’ "I didn’t have it hidden. I hadit on at the train yesterday, but Itook It off there and put it in mybag. Both Maxine and' Nancy re­ member that. Last night when I went to get It, It wss gone. Really, that's ail I know about it. Really, that's every bit of It. * Stanley was looking at her, ahopelessly perplexed expression onbis face. "Woman, I certainly amtaking you on faith. You eithergreet your guest and your sisterwearing an engagement ring elteryou have broken your engagement,which, my dear, just Isn’t done. Or you greet them properly engaged, then through ■ process of mentaltelepathy— Maxine says be hasn’t been around and you say be la outof towu—you break the engsge­ment And that, my dear, just can’tbe done But you don’t look queer,”he added judiciously. "You lookplain grand. 1 knew that yesterdaywhen I met you on the road, and Iknew It egain when I met you intown and I knew—” He paused Then his face sud­denly brightened "You promisethat once you have the ring you'llgive it back to him?” Peggy nodded quickly. "You're sure you won't let himtalk you into reconsidering the en­gagement?" Peggy shook her bead vigorously. “Of course I can't Imagine any man ever taking no tor an answer after you have once said yes. butI'D bav* to trust you.

Peggy jumped to her feetwith her eye* shining "Hara youany idea where it is? Where w.Uyou took’” While they were at the table Mrs.Horton suggested that she thought itwould be much better if Mr. New­ton would remain at the house whilehe was looking tor the ring. | •TU have William drive into town'this afternoon and get your bags.)if that arrangement suite you,’’;she suggested to her guest. | "You are most kind. Mrs. Hot-ton. I can’t tell you what it wouldmean to me to stay here for a dayor two. I believe, however, It wouldbe better for me to go into town and* get my things myself. I am afraidI have things pretty much scattered about my room, and as I have my car (t won't take me long I shallbe back very shortly." Maxine and Peggy had exchangedsurprised glances at Mrs. Horton'sinvitation to Stanley. Gran was al­ways hospitable, but she did notask people to visit in her homeunless the genuinely liked them,and counti-d them her friends. "What do you want to do this afternoon. Nancy?" Peggy asked guiltily. She had forgotten all about having a guest whom she mustkeep entertained. "Shall we go tora drive?" *"No.” Nancy replied. "To tellyou the truth.

USE OFF-PEAK hours for T*" BRITISH INDUSTRIES - From Robert Williamson FROM TEAPOTS TO TIN HATS Manufacturers of teapots are now making tin hats, a cap factory is turning out bullets, and makers of roller and ice skates are at work on aircraft components, as the result of factory control in Britain. Many British concerns have swhing over to war production under earlier re-armament programmes, but in the last six months the work of the Board of Trade’s Factory and Storage Premises -brought thousands more works, large and small, to direct war pro­ duction. Torpedoes are coming from a boot and shoe factory and aero-en­ gine parts from a hairpin works, while a beauty-cream factory is ap­ plying its experience to the making of anti-gas and medicated oint­ ments. A rt silk manufacturers are busy on munitions and a wallpaper mill is filling shells, the cases of which are being made by silver­ smiths and the fuses by makers of brass taps. BRITAIN'S CELLULOID CIRCUS Crofters in the windswept islands of the Hebrides and market garden­ ers' in the flower land of the Scillies were among the 3,000,000 people in the British Isles who last year saw films shown by flying squads of mobile film units. Sponsored by the British Ministry of Information, these 70 units, which will soon be 100, are. known up and down the British Isles as the "Celluloid ■Circus.” They travel thousands of miles through rural and urban Britain, making stands for the night and moving on next day. Morning, noon or night, there is always an audience waiting for them. First come the schoolchildren to special films about the Empire and its Allies. In the afternoon films about food and wartime housewifery are shown to Women’s Institutes in the countryside and to Townswomen’s Guilds in the towns. In the evening there may be a fit- up in a farm for agricultural work­ ers, and the day is rounded off with, "midnight matinee” between shifts at an armament factory. These free shows, which usually last about 80 minutes, let people see how their own activities fit into the general picture of the nation at war. The new orator-film, more­ over, lias brought the public forum into the village and leads lively dis­ cussions of the country’s problems. Apart from these mobile units, M.O.I. and other films are available from the Central Film Library free any organisation for showing (Between 5,000 and 6,000' films are dispatched each month. NO METAL FOR THIS KETTLE Electric kettles of porcelain are now being made in England for the first time. Many thousands of them are al­ ready on the market, for in Britain to-day the demand for electric kettles is as great as it is for-the metals from which they are usually made. The kettles hold three pints of water and they are shaped to a good design in plaster moulds from liquid clay, specially prepared. After the first "firing” in the pottery kiln the ware is glazed a dark blue and fired a second time at a very high tem­ perature, A wicker handle and the necess. ary element, flex and plug are then attached. All the work, except the kiln firing, is done by women. In other directions Britain us­ ing pottery widely to release metals for the war. Chemical stoneware replaces stainless steel for certain type* of jam-making plant. Accum­ ulator boxes are made from stone­ ware instead of ebonite.

A man sug­ gested our topic—and trust a man to know what is good. Liver, heart, sweetbreads, tongue, brains, kid­ neys, oxtails and tripe—the meat specialties—are often described as ’fancy meats.' You can use them to introduce variety into your menus, there is little waste and small por­ tions are satisfying. From the stand­ point of nutrition, they are the choicest of meats—every serving supplies a good portion of the daily requirement of every needed mineral plus vitamins B l and B2. First of all, these meats must be strictly fresh. Second, you must know how to prepare and cook them properly. Then, the family will see how good they are and want them often. You may recall the day when liver was so little appreciated. The common question pertaining to the cookery of these meats is how to prepare pork and beef hearts. The following directions may help you: Cut down the side of muscle and spread heart open. Re­ move all veins, arteries and roots with a sharp knife. Wash thoroughly and dry with a piece of cheesecloth before cooking. Here are directions for the prepar­ ation and cooking of other meat specialities, as well as suggestions for garnishes: RECIPES Beefsteak and Kidney Pie 1 % lbs. chuck steak 3 lbs. lamb’s kidneys Flour 2 small onions, chopped , Salt and pepper 2 tbs. fat 6 cups vegetable stock or gtavy 6 small potatoes, sliced Flaky pastry Have the steak cut in pieces for ■■serving.

Wilford Passes At Alexandra Hospital The death occurred at Alexandra Hospital, Ingersoll, on Monday, Feb. 9, 1942, from pneumonia, of James W. Wilford, a life-long and esteem­ ed resident of Dereham Township, following an illness of about five weeks duration. Deceased was in his 70th year. He was born in Dereham Township, a son of the late Mr. and Mrs. William Wilford, a pioneer resident of that district, and farmed successfully on the 1st Concession of Dereham all his life. He was a member of the Zenda Church, of the Session of that con­ gregation and for a number of years he served as superintendent of the* Sunday School. Deceased had a wide circle of friends and was highly esteemed throughout the district. His wife predeceased him about 18 years ago. Surviving to mourn his passing are two sons, Wray Wil­ ford, Dereham Township and Bur­ ton Wilford at home; two daugh­ ters, Mrs. Blanche Bowman, Wood- •tock and Mrs. Fred Day (Edith), Britton, Ontario; three brothers, John Wilford and William Wilford of Ingersoll and Neil Wilford of Palmerston; two sisters, Mrs. A. J. Burrill, Bright and Mrs. Samuel Facey, also ten grand-children. The funeral was held from his late residence, Lot 3, Concession 1, Dereham Township, R. R. No. P, Sal­ ford; on Thurssday afternoon. An impressive service was conducted at 2.30 o’clock by Rev. LcRoy C. White, Burgessville, minister of the Zenda United Church, assisted by a form­ er minister of the Church, Rev. W. G. Shaw, Innerkip. The funeral was very largely attended by rela­ tives, neighbours and friends and there was a profusion of lovely flor­ al tributes. During the service two duets were sung by Mr>.

Nichols, an esteemed resi­ dent of West Oxford Township pass­ ed away suddenly at the family resi­ dence, Lot. 15, Concession 1, shortly before noon on Monday, February 9th, 1942, Although Mr. Nichols had suffered a stroke a little over a year ago, he had been in apparent­ ly good health of late and his sud­ den passing came as a distinct shock to his wide circle of friends in Inger­ soll and the surrounding district. 1 In his 56th year, Mr. Nichols was born on the farm on which he died and farmed there successfully his entire life. For over thirty years he was engaged in fur buying and until about a year ago was actively engaged in the breeding and raising of mink. He was a member ol the Ingersoll Baptist Church and served that con­ gregation on the Deacon’s Board for twenty-eight years. For eighteen years he was a school trustee for S. S. No. 9, West Oxford. Surviving besides his widow, who was formerly Edith York Elliott, are three daughters, Mrs. Gordon VViXeman, Sweaburg; Mrs. Paul Bowman, Ingersoll and Mrs. Grant Cuthbert, West Oxford, also one sister, Mis. S. G. German, West Ox­ ford. The funeral was held from the family residence, Lot 15, Concession 1, West Oxford Township, on Wed­ nesday afternoon, February 11th. The service was very largely at­ tended by relatives and friends and was conducted at 2.30 o’clock by Rev. George A. McLean, minister of the Ingersoll Baptist Church. Many beautiful floral tributes indicated the high esteem in which deceased was held by a very wide circle of friends. Interment was made in the West Oxford Cemetery, the pall bearers being, Messrs.

The election of the two cabinet ministers is producing a stabilizing influence; the defeat of the strongly anti-conscriptionists in the two Quebec constituencies has weakened the rabid nationalists in that province; the defeat of the Rt. Hon. Arthur Meighen is interpreted as an indication of a tendency to­ wards public favour of more and more socialistic policy in the Feder­ al arena. In any event, it is certain that these by-elections will produce lasting effects in the present session of Parliament. DEMAND FOR CLOSER RUSSIAN- CANADIAN RELATIONSHIP It is believed in well-informed circles in the capital that the Ham­ mer and Sickle will fly proudly at the mast in Canada before long since there is a definite demand that Canada should draw closer towards the Russian allies in this war. In­ deed, it was a Conservative, Rodney G. Adamson, York West, who made this demand in emphatic language when he stated in the House of Commons, that “I am not a Socialist or Communist—but rather a reac­ tionary Tory—but we have to admit that the Soviet philosophy exists and that it has done great things." Then he added quite frankly that “our Soviet allies are providing the one bright spot in the picture of world-wide catastrophe." In other words, it is a call that the Hammer and Sickle should fly proudly at the mast in Canada when a Rus­ sian Embassy is established in Ot­ tawa. INFORMATION ON CANADA’S ARMED FORCES RESTRICTED When a request was made for the exact numbers of men in Can­ ada’s armed forces, the Minister of National Defence, Hon. J. L. Ral­ ston, refused to give this informa­ tion except in round figures, basing his decision on this action on the ground that it is very well for the enemy to guess about the exact size of Canada's Army, Navy, and Air Force, but there is no reason in the world why responsible Ministers should give this valmd>le informa­tion. GROWING DISSENSION AND CANADA’S MOST’SERldUfe PROBLEM Without being aggressive or com­ bative but strictly realistic, this veteran observer must report that by no stretch of the imagination can he recall another period along Par­ liament Hill when so much difficulty was encountered by a Government in order to discover some means of adjustment of a national problem than that being endured right now by the King Government in regard to conscription for overseas service. Although everyone in Canada is either fighting or working for' the same objective in this war and it should not be difficult to find a common denominator in a political sense, yet well-informed sources in th® capital know that the King Government’s methods in attempting to affect this wartime adjustment in its own manner have not decreas­ ed difficulties but rather increased them in toto, though behind the scene* there are some reasons to justify these manoeuvres on the part of the King Government. Nevertheless, the pressure both in and out of Parliament is steadily increasing for and against compul­ sory service for overseas and the impending flood threatens national unity at a time when every part of the country is essential to the whole war effort of Canada. Of course, it is no secret why the King Government has acted in this manner in regard to conscription for overseas service and it is supposed to be on account of the Province of Quebec. The Government might have taken an easier way out of its difficulty by adopting the measures necessary for its enactment, but that would not have been consist­ ent. The Government eould not ig­ nore certain facts, though unfor­ tunately it is often recognised along Parliament Hill that the man- m-the-screet throughout Canada does nut know the real eau«e or source of the opinion in the Prov­ ince of Quebec which has influenced the present Government’s policies. In the Province of Quebec, there has been a strong opinion for many years that “Imperialism" must be looked down upon with “suspicion." Fw yean and years, the mawea have been told again and again by politicians and dema­ gogues, who desired to sway or to influence the people by plausible words in order to obtain power for themselves or their party, that “Imperialism" was not good for the French-Canadian. It created a vir­ tual wall between Quebec and the rest of Canada and this wall reached great heights from the time that Henri Bourassa rose in Parliament one day to protest strongly against the sending of a Canadian expedi­ tionary force to fight in the Boer War in South Africa. That hap­ pened a long time ago, but from that event onwards there has been a continuous agitation of a so-call­ ed “nationalist" movement which emphasized the rights or claims of Canadians in respect to wars invol­ ving the Motherland. In the last World War No. 1, two bad errors were made that aggravated the sit­ uation. First, in the beginning of 1916, the late Premier Sir Robert Borden gave a pledge not unlike that of Premier Mackenzie King/in this war. He had promised that con­ scription for overseas service would not be made without consult­ ing the people, but a year later it was established. Second, the meth­ od of enforcing conscription in the Province of Quebec, was very pro­ vocative of anger on the part oi the French-Canadians, this being a major mistake of strategy which has often been acknowledged by his­ torians. The bitterness and wrath of that occasion never died in the Province of Quebec. They have never forgotten the insults and abuses. In this war, the same misunder­ standing and artifices are being em­ ployed by politicians outside of the Province of Quebec. They refuse or they do not know how to under­ stand the mentality and feeling of the people of that old Province. They have been directly responsible for encouraging the growth or re­ vival of this “nationalist” movement in that Province. Now*, two Mem­ bers of the House of Commons, Lacroix and Lacombe, have come out in the open favouring the “na­ tionalist" movement, though it^must be emphasized that they are ^iot looked upon seriously, nor is the Government responsible for their actions or speeches. In fact, La­ combe is known as an opponent of the Mackenzie King Government, and in the last general elections, the King Government put a candi­ date in the field to oppose him. Lacroix is also opposed to the ideals of the King Government. But, most important of all, both of these men are not properly speaking or acting for the masses of the Province of Quebec in face of their efforts. The people of that Province are not in­ fluenced by these men to any marked degree as yet. So far they have a very small following. Of course, the masses of Quebec are opposed to compulsory overseas service at this time because certain politicians and demagogues have made it their business to keep alive certain old, antiquated, and out-of- date ideas for reasons best'known to themselves. They do not allow memories to fade away. But states­ men in that Provice and elsewhere have recognized that education and' strategic handling of the problem could cure the ailments. They be­ lieved that the complaints were not those of an old, chronic and wast­ ing invalid, but rather growing pains of a temporary and acute na­ ture. This was the motive and strategy of the King Government from the day that war was declared in September, 1939. The King Gov­ ernment did not want that national unity should suffer from any drastic or non-strategic action since in a war emergency a divided nation was an impingent belligerent force , at a crucial time when it must be assertive, definite, realistic, confi­ dent, and united. Moreover, from the opening day of this war the need of conscription for overseas servive has been argued not by the profess­ ional generals or others qualified to judge a nation's military require­ ments in specific situations but the main contention has been offered by the more than “eleven million generals" throughout the land, known individually as the man-in- the street. Indeed, it has been said that most of the people do not even know much about conscription Itself, its history or origin. Conscription came into existence as ■ result of the French Revolution when the old Royalist Army of France was put aside. This brought about a problem of national de­ fence, The Convention of 1792 de- tided upon a compromise, with com­ batant units to be composed of vol­ unteers only and with all single men between 18 and 40 yean to be placed in reserve “citizen militia” The rest of the male population formed a National Guard for home defence. After eight month* of thia system, France had to abandon It becauM It was a complete failure. Oat of 169 combatant battalions re­ quired by th* Republic of Prance, only sixty wore ndaed. The Conven­ tion decided to create a compul­ sory miltary force of 500.SO0 men, but thia failed became tile populn- Final Plan* Made For Ladies Aid Play The regular monthly business meeting of the Ladies Aid of St. Paul's Presbyterian Church was held last week. The president, Miss Edna Currie was in the chair and Mrs. R. B. Hutt was in charge of the devotional period. Various matters of business were discussed and final arrangements were made for the play which is to be presented this month. Plans were made for the clinic during March. It was decided that the annual bazaar will be held in the fall as usual. C. O. O. F. Grand Master Visited Local Lodge CHAOS OF WAR — by — Eveline A. Long In a world of plenty we are com­ ing to accept a world of stringency, a world where millions perish for want of the things 'that are being wilfully destroyed, destroyed as never before during man’s long his­ tory have they been destroyed. Ships with their rich cargoes are sent ruthlessly to the bottom of the ocean. Munitions and tanks and guns, the hateful industry of tens of thousands of patient and clever minds and hands, scatter into frag­ ments the things of beauty and worth, wrought by the labourious toil of other workers in ages past The homes that shelter those by whose labour the cities rose and the gardens grew, the homes of those who, in daily peril, manned the ships that brought food to feed, or munitions to destroy, all are in at the mercy of a destroying mad­ ness. All men work feverishly to create the wherewithal to cancel out the fruits of labour of the other man, to starve him, to blow him to tiny fragments, to bum him in the holocaust. Where is reason; where is logic? Where is to be found any of the attributes that make man a little lower than the angels, a little higher than the beasts of the jungle. Or is it higher? Do they not destroy that they may eat, while we destroy that others may not? We destroy be­ cause destruction is the one vital necessity of war. Without it war dies. We are in the midst of the orgy now and the urge still grows; it extends to all the people of the earth. It grows with what it feeds on, as Shakespeare said of Love,, but with what a difference is that growth apprehended. The one, the growth of a lust to kill and des­ troy, to break down all law and order, while the other by reason of the divine law, builds eternally to­ wards God Himself. Frank B. King of Brantford, Grand Master of the Canadian Order of Odd Fellows, paid an official visit to Queen Victoria Lodge, In­ gersoll, on Tuesday evening, Feb. 10th, on the occasion of the local lodge opening their new quarters in the I. O. O. F. Building. The meeting was quite well at­ tended despite the fact a snow storm and bad road conditions prevented many from out of town being present, although one car from Kin- tore, with Grand Lodge representa­ tive, I. A. Robson, at the helm, man­ aged to get through. Noble Grand Bro. Clarence Todd , of the local lodge was in charge of the meeting. Grand Master Bro. King and Grand Lodge Representa­ tive Bro. Robson were introduced to the members by ex-Mayor Bro. James E. Fergusson, after which N. G. Bro. Todd extended an official welcome. Grand Master Bro. King gave an inspiring address, stressing the importance and the necessity of courage during the present times, and asking that all members put into practice more than ever, the prin­ ciples for which the lodge stands. He urged all to visit and help those in distress. He congratulated the lodge members on their new quarters which were specially decorated for the occasion by N.G. Bro. Todd. Others called upon for short speeches included: Grand Lodge Rep. Robson of Kintore; D.D.G.M. Glen Topham, Ingersoll; Joseph Henderson, Harry Haynes and C. McCall, all of Kintore lodge; James Fergusson, Harry Cade, C. E. Luno, John Riddle, Charles Holmes and Past Grand ^Master William Crellin of Ingersoll. All expressed their pleasure in having the grand lodge officers present as guests. At the close of the meeting a splendid lunch was provided and a social period enjoyed.

However, the Government moderated the law*, educated the people, applied strategic tactics, and raised easily a conscript army of not 500,000 but 770,000 men. In other words, the lesson of Old France is a lesson for New France. While compulsion and free will do not mix well in a country like Canada for raising men for the armed forces, causing dissonance in national harmony, yet the principle of conscription need not be aban­ doned though it must be brought into existence by strategy and means not common amongst Cana­ da’s politicians but an essential re­ quirement amongst true statesmen. This is the common denominator for adjusting this nation’s greatest and most delicate national problem in this war, and well-informed sources along Parliament Hill know it.— (Reproduction Prohibited.)

INGERSOLL INN Free Delivery - Phone 498 The Ontario Department of Agri­ culture strongly urges that farmers requiring seed should locate supplies early before the best seed is picked up and while prices are still reason­ able. Agricultural representatives in each county and district have n list of available seed grain in Ontario as a result of a comprehensive survey made by the Department through the Agricultural Representatives. All seeds are listed under the variety name, by counties and are listed for sale on the basis of the grade indicated. With an acute labor problem, ant) the necessity for providing adequate feed supplies, the production of larger yields on limited acreages by good cultivation and the use of strong, vigorous, plump seed of suit­ able varieties is of vital importance. Ontario must produce heavier ’crops this year to meet increased wartime requirements of food, par­ ticularly bacon, cheese, eggs and powdered milk for overseas. This job is one for every Ontario farmer. —'The basis for heavier production is good seed. That is why the De­ partment is urging every fanner who has not already arranged for his seed grain to do so immediately. Consult your agricultural repre­ sentative or an official of your county crop association for sources of supply—Ontario Department of Agriculture So it is difficult to get a maid these days?
