We Have Not Yet Subscribed The speaker at the regular weekly meeting of the Ingersoll Kiwanis Club held at the Ingersoll Inn on Thursday evening, February 19th, was the Senior Roman Catholic Chaplain for Military District No. 1, London, Major Rev. Father Joseph L. Hennessey, a former North Ox­ ford Township boy. Kiwanian Henry I. Stewart, pre­ sident of the club, occupied the chair and the ministers of the Ingersoll churches were In attendance ns guests. Kiwanian George Sutherland introduced the speaker. Major Hennessey’s subject was “Propaganda and This Christian War." He emphasized the fact that we arc fighting a Chrisian war against Hitler and his allies, who will stoop to anything in order to further their cause. The clever pro­ paganda put out by the German war machine and its effect on weakening the defence of the nations that have already been overrun, was touched upon by Major Hennessey. He said "Germany and her nations appreciate the fact that wo are Christian people and that our way of living is near and dear to us. Their propaganda and plotting was to attempt to destroy the faith of the people of other countries in Christianity. If they can upset the Christian belief they knok they will have kicked away the cornerstone of democracy," the speaker de­ clared and he asked his hearers to vision what living would be under Nazi rule. Major Hennessey quoted the words of Winston Churchill to fallen France: “We will go until we beat the .life and soul out of Hitler and Hitlerism.” He reminded his hearers that France fell becaue of treachery from within and because many of her people had f alien Jrom the Christian way of living.. “Let me tell you,” said he, "we will never have peace until we get down on our knees and ask for it, and how many are doing that?” He stressed the fact that the war is far from over and mentioned that Gen­ eral McNaughton- had only recently stated that it might go on for years. The speaker touched upon the privileges that could be enjoyed un­ der the British form of government and reminded his audience that gatherings of Service Clubs or so- cial welfare organizations was not permitted in Germany. In conclud­ ing his talk Major Hennessey plead­ ed for the whole-hearted support of the members of the club in an all- out effort in every way possible to aid the United Nations in their fight for the preservation of Chris- tianity. The thanks of the clubs were ten­ dered the speaker by Kiwanian Dr. C. A. Osborn.

She had resided in Inger­ soll for 29 years and had ‘been a resident of Dereham Township for the past 32 years.

Cecil Bishop, on active service, somewhere in England, and a sister, Mrs. Ernest Buchanan, Winnipeg, Man., to all of whom the sympathy of their many friends is extended in thdir irreparable loss.

THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 26th, 1942 Accidents Can Be Prevented “Last year more than 450,000 persons in all parts of Canada, suffered temporary or permanent dis­ ability as the result of accidents. Apart from the suffering caused to the victims, there was an econ­ omic loss to the country of nearly $500,000,000." This statement was made by Mr. H. G. Fester, gen­ eral manager of the Ontario Safety League, in a recent public address in the King Edward Hotel, Tor­ onto. In an effort to help Canada's war effort, Harry “Red” Foster of Toronto, arranged for the address to be broadcast throughout the province. Time on the air waves was donated by Lowney’s Young Can­ ada Club, the fastest-growing children’s safety club in Canada. “This sum of money,” Mr. Foster continued, "is almost as much as is being asked by your Govern­ ment for our new War Loan.” "The unfortunate part of this doleful tale is, that accidents can be prevented. Accidents are the fruit of human indifference and carelessness. In tho Prov­ ince of Ontario alone, over 100,000 persons suffered more or less serious injuries in our commercial and industrial establishments, Over 15,000 persons were killed or injured by motor vehicles, and more than 35,000 persons suffered death or injury within the confines of their own homes, and all of this within the period of one year.’’ “So, if you would make a valuable contribution to your country’s war effort, at no cost to yourself; re­ solve from this moment to abstain from any action which may involve you or others, in any accident. You can do it by the simple process of thinking in terms of safety at all times, and in all circumstances.” Are We Too Tight-Laced? Every once in a while, some of us look over the Canadian scene and experience a feeling that wo are too tightly laced. Some of us are so bound up by decorum, ideas of dignity, by reserve, and by tim­ idity, that we haven^ breath enough to run, laugh or cheer. Spontaneous enthusiasm does not spring from such tightly-bound people. Few would recommend that Canadians become mercurial—hot one minute and cold the next. But few, on the other hand, would relish the prospect in which citizens of the Dominion became so reserved that they earned the right to be called stolid. When Canadian boys are banded into a huge mili­ tary force, they very quickly leave behind all the inhibitions of their civilian lives. One soldier doesn’t hesitate to speak to another, even if he be a total stranger. Strangers and friends join in impromptu en­ tertainment; and when their training period is over, they rush into battle with enthusiasm which has been engendered by a total lack of reserve. Great benefit would accrue to the Second Victory Loan Campaign if throughout all Canada people de­ liberately set out to acquire enthusiasm. If people would make the Victory Loan the subject of bright conversation in trains, buses and street cars; if people would unloosen their girdles of reserve at public meetings and in the movie shows and let out some hearty cheers; and if people would go out of their way to praise and applaud the hundreds of men and women who are giving up their own time to put the loan over, we might be surprised at the aston­ ishing effect it would have on the final returns an- nounced at Ottawa. Scorched Earth A scorched earth policy may be good from a mili­ tary standpoint, but what appals me is the idea of this destruction as it applies to world economy. True, it has been practised ever since war began, but in times before our own, the wilful destruction of crops and homes and towns was restricted to compar­ atively small areas. The rest of the world continued to produce as nature intended. That is not now, unfortunately, the case, for the war spreads itself all over the earth and from the tropics to the Arctic seas we see the despoliation going grimly on. If this destruction is to continue indefinitely and in all lands, in order to prevent the enemy from ob­ taining a benefit from the fruits of the earth or the the minds of men, what is to be the outcome? Where are we going to make thing* safe for the future? Or are we to continue'at all? The war we are told may last year* and in those years there is bound to be a swinging back and forth of tho fortunes of war. If we burn and destroy with every meafis at our disposal and the enemy does likewise isn’t it possible that the whole earth will be denuded of all it is able to produce? We see already that this has happened in certain sectors, We find Russia destroying crop* and home* to prevent ths victorious Naus from benefitting, We see later the kuasian* taking back his own scorched earth and having nothing on whfch to live. And we see the Mroe disastrous problem facing the people of Greece. We hear of Russia having sent choke speci­ mens of cattle and fruit-trees and grain to other countries in order that there may be perpetuated those things which grow to a natural perfection in hi* own country. That is a wise enough precaution but what happens if those countries to which the specimens for survival are sent, are also scorched, •a they must be if the enemy gains a foothold there? Who or what country is going to safeguard the pro­ pagation of their particular varieties? We have here a problem that b going to puizle the wbest—Eveline effect, Canada's sheep are expected to do their pat­riotic duty by furnishing more wool. This is fairenough, seeing that the hens of the Dominion some months ago were requested in Government pam­ phlets to raise the egg quota.—Montreal Gazette.

LETTERS TO THEEDITOR THE CARROLL FAMILY To the Editor, The Ingersoll Tribune: We are great-great grandchildren of John Carroll 1753-1855 who lived in Oxford on the Thames in 1789. In 1800, John Carroll, 1753, was granted lots 23 and 24 in the first concession of North Oxford and lived there until his death in 1855 in his 103rd year. He had a large family nearly all of whom were active in military and municipal affairs for many years. Our great grandfather was Isaac Carroll. 1777, son of John. 1753. Isaac was granted lot 11 in the first concession of North Oxford. His son John, 1799, was our grand­ father. He lived at lot 1 in the seventh concession of West Zorra and in addition to farming he was Crown Lands Agent in succession to his brother, Peter, 1806. James Carroll was Sheriff and Colonel in tho militia. Doctor R. W. W. Carroll and other members of the family were widely known as public-spiritedcitizens. / We have gathered much pertin­ ent information and our tentative family tree now includes just over onto hundred names. We think that among your many readers there are’ almost certain to be some who can aid us through old letters, diaries, albums, family-Bibles or other rec­ ords of births, deaths and marriages. Any readers who have access to old cemetery and church records are likely to find there some informa­ tion which we cannot unearth else­ where. At this date we are doing our best to get some further inform­ ation regarding John Carroll 1753, Isaac Carroll 1777 and Captain John Carroll who was killed 30th August, 1814, in a rescue operation when Lieut. Rapclje attacked Westbrook’s band of irregulars. We hope that any of your readers having information in any form that will assist us in compiling a pretty complete family history will be kind enough to let us hear from them during the present month. We shall be glad to call at any address between London and Hamilton, if our doing so suits their convenience. Walter H. Carroll -___- 63 Ontario Ave., Hamilton, Ont.

Thursday morning last, February 19th, Ingersoll was invaded by the mechanized convoy of modern Can­ adian army equipment that is tour­ ing Military District No. 1, in the interest of promoting the sale of Victory Bonds in Canada’s Second Victory Loan Campaign. The convoy was made up of fifty vehicles of various types and was manned by 120 drivers and mechan­ ics from all parts of Military Dis­ trict No. 1, London. Lieut-Col. D. C. Warnica, Com­ manding Officer of the Essex Tank Regiment (R), Windsor, was in charge of the convoy and second in Command was Major C. H. Thorn­ ton, M.M., of the Highland light Infantry of Canada* (R), Golt, Lieut James E. Lillis, of No. 11, Advance Driving and Maintenance School, Woodstock, was convoy offi­ cer and the heart of the convoy was 45 men from Woodstock training centre. Col. Warnica had great praise for the efficiency of these men from our nearby A.D. and M.T. centre, which is under the command of Lt-Col. R. B. Crouch. With the exception of the N.C.O.’s, the men were all student drivers. Lt James Claro of No. 1, District Depot London, acted as Convoy Adjutant and Lt S. G. Quinn, of the R.C.A. S.C. Basic training centre, Kit­ chener, was the acting Quarter Mas­ ter, A guest officer with the con­ voy was Major Ed. Harding from the 30th Reconnaissance Battalion, Windsor. Accompanying the convoy was a separate recruiting unit in charge of Major T. George Tilly, District Re­ cruiting Officer for MJ>. No. 1, London. In charge of the public address system for the recruiting unit was Sergt Fred Johnston of London and the announcer was Sig­ nalman A. A. Zoll, who outlined the various units of tho convoy and urged the purchase of Victory Bonds. A civic welcome was accorded the unit by Councillor S. H. Under­ wood, representing Mayor Dr. J. G. Murray. Dr. J. M. Rogers, chair­ man of the Ingersoll District Vic- | Small Crowd At Beacon Ceremony Only about fifty people turned out for the Beacon Lighting Cere­ monial held in connection with the Second Victory Loan Campaign, on Friday evening, February 20th, on the market square from 7.30 to 8 o’clock. The cold and inclement weather, also the numerous counter attractions, including the musical revue, "Ritzin* The Blitz”, were re­ sponsible for the small attendance. Councillor K. R. Daniel acted as chairman of the short program which opened with tho singing of "O Canada", and “Onward Chris­ tian Soldiers," with accompaniment played by Councillor S. H. Under­ wood and Capt. P. S. Kerr. Captain P. S. Kerr of the Salvation Army led in prayer and the beacon was lighted by Councillor Daniel. A very inspiring appeal was made by Rev. R. Harold Parr, minister of Trinity United Church, in support of the Second Victory Loan. He em­ phasized the necessity of money with which to purchase supplies and equipment for the armed forces and appealed to all within his hearing to buy Victory Bonds to the limit of their ability. Rev. George A. McLean, minister of the Ingersoll Baptist Church, offered prayer. A few words were addressed to the gathering by F Earl Johnston, of the Victory Loan Publicity Committee and the pro­ gram was concluded with the sing­ing ot "Rock of A gt*," ,nd „GodSave The King.” tory Loan Committee, spoke over the public address system, urging sup­ port for the Victory Loan and point­ ing out that the money was required to purchase the type of equipment on display. Rct. R. Harold Parr, minister of Trinity United Church, in addressing the crowd, drew atten­ tion to the fact that one tank, or plane or any piece of equipment now, was worth ten a year from now, as equipment of every kind was badly needed at the present time. He also stressed the import­ ance of mechanized equipment and the need for trained men to opeiate it in order that the troops may be given the proper support to battle the enemy. The main centre of attraction in the convoy was the 35 ton Ram Tank. This is the largest produced in Canada. It is assembled in Mon­ treal. A number of parts for it are produced in the Morrow Company plant in Ingersoll. It costa $100,- 000.00. This tank is a pet of Major General Worthington and took three years to design and complete. Fur­ ther particular# concerning it are kept a military secret, but it is claimed to be one of the fastest and most vulnerable weapons of the allied armies. There were three of the new Valentine Tanks in the display. These are made in Montreal and are rated as 20 ton tanks. Their cost is $75,000.00. They are a slower mov­ ing vehicle and are used chiefly for the support of troops in the field. They mount armour-piercing guns and a number of machine guns. ,h M^>rcyele riders accompanied th- .

There were several 30 cwt. trucks to carry supplies, a Red Cross am­ bulance, wrecking truck and two gasoline trucks to supply fuel and oil to the mechanized units, also sta­ tion wagons, to carry the personnel and other equipment Despite the zero weather, the pupils of the schools and hundreds of citizens lined both sides of Thames street, from the C.T.R. tracks to King street, to view the equipment. Some enjoyed the priv- ilege of a ride in a “Jeep” or Uni­ versal Carrier, and all were im­ pressed with the fine type of equip­ ment that is now being produced in Canada to supply the armed forces of the United Nations in their The visit of the convoy should be a factor in stimulating the purchase of Canada’s Second Victory Loan, now that the public have been given the opportunity of viewing some of the equipment their money spent for Victory Bonds will help to buy. An invitation to dinner had hdesi sent to a newly settled physic!**, and in reply the hostess received a letter so hopelessly scrawled that she was unable to make out whether ft was an acceptance or otherwise. “Take it to the druggist,” said her husband. “Druggists can always read doctors’ writing, no matter how bad the convoy "Jeep*” or By Order ot theNational War Labour Board HUMPHREY MITCHELL Order of National War lab ou r Board to Employer* and Employe**: and ________ *•111011 Reconnaissance car* made their first appearance in Canada.

An Irishman entered a barber’s shop for a shave. After he was seat­ ed and the lather applied, the barber was called to the adjoining room, where he was detained. The barber bad in the shop a pet monkey which caused amusement by imitating its master. As soon as the barber had quitted the room the monkey seized the shaving brush dipped it in the lather and proceeded to apply it to the Irishman's face. When that op­ eration was finished to the monkey's satisfaction, the little animal picked op a razor, and after stropping it turned to Pat to shave him. "Stop that!” cried Pat firmly, sitting erect. ‘‘Ye can tuck the towel in me neck, and put the soap on me face, but, begorrah. yer father’s got to shave me!” “The trouble with most of those one-plow farmers,” growled the angry wheat inspector, “is that they’re too completely soaked in the philosophy of the Three Wise Mon­ keys. They'll hear no weevil, see no weevil, speak no weevil.” STARTING THURSDAY Annual Lay-away Sale FUR COATS' The chance of a lifetime!

It is certainly appreciated, and a most practical gift. Please pass on my thanks to the other members of the council This Christmas in England was very different to Christmas, 1940. There were no blitzes of any kind and the people are all very cheerful. I have seen so many towns that have been bombed and after seeing the damage I wonder and admire at the determined spirits of the people. You remember the blitz on Coven­ try. I saw* it from the air last week and the blocks of houses and churches that were flattened, were enough to make you sick. One thing certain—this war must be won—in the air, on the sea, on land and on the home front. There is a job for everyone to do in this war and we —all the boys from home—know that the people back home in Canada will not let us down. We will not let->them down. Thanks again for the gift. 1 appre­ ciate the thoughts and kindness be- ind it. • h I hope everything is fine in Ing- jzrso.U.” Sincerely, HOWARD CARR.

Friends and acquaintances wereshocked to learn of the death of In one Canadian city, Montreal, 10,000 women are attending the lecture course of the “Food for Health—Health for Victory”, nutri­ tion campaign. Six thousand of the women are French-Canadian, the remainder are English. The lectures run for four ’weeks. Trained diet­ itians are giving their time freely. The importance of milk, cheese, fruit and vegetables in the daily diet provided the theme of this week’* lectures. Milk was described as the most important food in the diet—a food for which no other single sub­ stitute could be found. Canadians do not eat enough cheese, it was stated. The average yearly consumption is between only three and four pounds, and it should be about ten pounds. At present with the vast export of cheese to “Britain—112 million pounds were shipped over last year—there is a scarcity of cheese in the country but once the world gets back to normal it was hoped that more cheese would be eaten here. The popular idea that cheese is indigestible was cleared up by the lecturers. Cheese is a highly con­ centrated food and should therefore not be eaten as an extra snack but as part of the meal. For instance, it might be used once a week as a substitute for meat or fish. Another good way to work it into the diet would be to round out a meal in which the main course was a salad . As little cooking as possible was advocated as the secret of good vegetable cookery, also as little water as possible. And the cooking water should be kept and used as a vegetable juice drink or in soups and saucese The reason for this is that some of the valuable vitamins and minerals dissolve out into the water during cooking. The time-honored custom of pre­ paring vegetables ahezd for cooking and leaving them soaking in cold "^cpter was denounced by the lectur­ ers'" as a way of getting rid of vita­ mins, If prepared ahead, vegetable* should be put in a covered duh — without water—in the ice-box until it was time to cook them. Canned and frozen vegetables had as high a vitamin content as fresh one?, it was stated, unless the fresh one* came straight from the garden to the stove. Fruit of some sort, fresh, canned, or dried, should form part of zeacb day’s diet and children shou|Q be given dried fruit instead of candy. Everyone should have two ounce* of orange juice, (a quarter of a measuring cup) or four ounce* of tomato juice a day. Auction Sale Auction Sale of Farm Stock andFeed.

Why hadn’t he waited until later to go intown for his bags, and stayed hereand looked for the ring? That ring isa hoodoo, she thought. First I bendit. then—"Maxine. I'm going intotown. Never mind why. I'll beback soon." She ran to the kitchento tell William to get her the ponycart, and in a few minutes wasdriving rapidly down the road to­ward town with her hopes running very high. But she returned home an hourand a half later more in the depthsthan ever. The ring that she hadsuddenly remembered Mr. Carverwas making like Harry’s, had al­ready been sold when she reachedMarshville."I wanted to see the ring youwere making," she had told the oldman."Well now, Miss Peggy, that's mighty sweet of you to be that in­ terested, and I wish you could have seen ft But it’s sold already.

"I suppose that was meant to befunny!" she snapped at Maxine asshe passed her and handed the mag­azine to the astonished Peggy."Here is a picture of your sister’sMr. Newton." she told her as if Peg­gy could fail to recognize the facethat was smiling at her from thepage. ” 'Mr. Stanley Newton,’ ” Nancy read aloud, " 'one of the youngest and most outstanding di­ rectors of the motion picture indus­try today.'

No particulars have been received concerning the funeral. Great Britain has sent on to Rus­ sia cargoes of South American hides captured by the British Navy from German and Italian blockade run­ ners. In the dive months .before Japan went to war more than 2,000 tons of these hides were seized on the high seas. The Axis can ill afford to go without them. In 1939 Germany bought from the Argentine 13,000 metric tons of wet-salted types alone, and it was these that the British Navy captured—best wet- salted frigorifico with a few dry Americanos. Deprived of these im­ ports, Germany is believed to be finding difficulty in maintaining the boot and equipment leather made from them. Sole leather is in fact a prime munition of war and the hides seized by Britain and sent on Russia are the best possible raw material for the tanning of Army boot sole leather. The Argentine, with a product­ ion of 7,500,000 cattle hides a year, is one of the world’s chief sources of supply of hides much valued by, the British tanners who are provid­ ing the sole leather for the 3,0(X), 000 pairs of boots now on their way to the Russian Army. their hotness The percentage ofdeaths of cate and other domesticanimals actually killed by bombs during the heavy raids of Britain b very low indeed.

There were voices in the hall now. Gran's and Stanley's. Gran was onher way upstairs. Maxine and Nan-cy started towards them and Peggyslipped away from them quite un­noticed. Without thinking where she was going Peggy ran through the rosegarden and into the summer house.This was where she had alwayscome with her troubles since shewas a child.It was here that she had comewhen Maxine had written that shewas going to remain in California.And it was here that she came nowwhen she was unhappy about—about Stanley not finding the ring,she told herself. What had be been saying to Gran this afternoon? Hadhe told her about the engagement,and that the ring was here? Buteven as she thought of that she dis­missed the idea. He would not dothat, she knew. What was sheunhappy about? What more naturalthan that Maxine's director shouldbe in love with his star and followher home in ordemo be with her?He bad not spoken a word of love to her, Peggy, and if she had been foolish enough to imagine things from his tone, his expression—well.It was Just too bad Ho had only been glad for thefamily when she told him she wouldgive Harry back his ring. Of coursehe had been glad. He wouldn'twant Maxine’s sister to do anythingfoolish. And she had been count­ ing the minutes until six o’clock when he would bring her the ring.And' now It was—she glanced at her wrist watch—it was two min­utes to six, and he was probably inthe house laughing with Maxine atthe joke they had put over on them.But he wasn't in the house be­ cause Just then she saw him come out of the front door, pause a mo­ ment there to look towards the rose garden and then start down thesteps. Well, she wouldn’t wait, shewouldn’t be here if he came. Shedidn't want to hear his explanation.She didn't feel like laughing overthe joke. She wanted the ring togive back to Harry and then shewanted to forget men. However, it seemed imnccessaryto run away Evidently he was notcoming to the rose garden. Sheheard hurried footsteps on the otherside of the hedge, then she heardlow voices near the corner back ofthe summer house. Stanley hadprobably come out to meet MaxineThey could not be seen from thehouse, here at the end. Even shecould not see them, nor could shecatch what they were saying. But she realized suddenly that itwas not Maxine to whom Stanleywas talking. Both voices belongedto men. She started forward indismay. Harry!

She was watching him intently and did not hear Peggy's "Oh" breathed in a woebegone whisper.Harry was the only one who seemedat ease. Taking the jeweler’s boxfrom his pocket he opened it andslipped the ring on the finger of hisevidently surprised fiancee."Where did you suppose it was?"he asked."Oh!” both girls exclaimed. It would have been hard to tell whichof them sounded the more aston­ished. “It’s Just like yours, isn’t it, Peg­gy?” Nancy asked sweetly. Toosweetly.Harry had not noticed Peggy inthe entrance of the summer bouse and turned towards her now in em­barrassment "I believe it Is.” Stanley, enter­ing the garden from the oppositeside, answered for Peggy.Nancy gave him a quick suspi­cious glance, "It's too bad you can't find yours." she continued, still watchingPeggy."But Peggy’s has been found."Stanley explained. "I was justbringing it to her.” He drew a ringfrom his pocket and stood holdingit in his hand. It wag an exactduplicate of Nancy's"The one from Carver’s, ofcourse!" Peggy cried to herself."He was there when Mr Carvertalked about making it II was hewho bought it th- afternoon." "You see they are exactly alike. Strange, isn’t it?" Stanley was say­ing. "But where?"

Guess where?In the toe of onevening slipper* Two hundred tons of rose hips gathered from the hedges of Eng­ land and Scotland last autumn have been turned into syrup for the older children in Britain who cannot get a regular supply of oranges. Like the orange, rose hips are a rich source of vitamin ‘C , the anti­ scurvy vitamin. Before the war it never occurred to anybody to use rose hips, but when the supply of oranges dwind­ led a small army of Boy Scouts, Girl Guides, teachers and Women’s Institute members turned out into the lanes with their baskets. Even housewives who were expert jam makers found it difficult to keep the hip hairs out of the syrup and the hips were therefore sent off to nine factories which have now produced from them COO,000 bottles of syrup. Young children are sip­ ping it with relish at the rate of one teaspoonful a day. Two teaspoons­ ful in the twenty-four hours give all the vitamin C which older boys and girls require. Britain's Ministry of Health are so pleased with the result that they are hoping for a much bigger col­ lection of rose hips when autumn comes round again. Eskimos and trappers of the Frozen North who ate their dried strips of caribou meat or pcinmi- can, have passed on the idea of this highly concentrated form of food to save shipwrecked sailors from star­ vation. All lifeboats in Britain’s Mer­ chant Navy are now equipped with nourishing compact foods, among them this concentrated mixture of beef extracts of high calorific value (known as Bovril pemmican.) It is of course a much more scien­ tific product than the pemmican of Fenimore Cooper, being a beef ex­ tract with a high fat content. Each man is supplied with 14 ounces of it, enough for a fortnight. One third of an ounce, taken with other concentrated foods now form­ ing part of the equipment in ship’s lifeboats, will make a meal for one man, and special measuring spoons are supplied with which the extract is spread on the new type of ship’s biscuit. Great explorers of the past have carried this highly concentrated food on their expeditions. Supplies of it went north with Nansen and south with Shackleton and Scott; it was used by the Mount Everest climbers and the British airmen ■ who made the first attempt to fly round the world, as well as in the 1938 Greenland Expedition, the Washburn Alaskan Expedition in 1939, the British Canadian Arctic Expedition, the British Graham Land Expedition and the British Ex­ pedition to Greenland. The new penunkan is also being widely used by Britain's Allies and the makers are busily coping with a very large war-time demand. Mr. and Mrs. D. W.

O T T A W A WEEK BY WEEK — by Dean W'lson — JUDICIAL PROBE OF HONG KONG Though other topics may occupy the headlines of news from the na­ tion’s capital at this time, yet in reality the coming investigation in the circumstances of the Canadian expedition to Hong Kong is a sub­ ject of the keenest interest along Parliament Hill, particularly in view ♦f the charges that no less than 138 men had been included in the expedition without possessing more than 16 weeks of proper training and that the mechanized equipment •f the expedition had never reached its original destination. Instead of the usual inquiry by a ’‘committee”, it has been decided that the matter ia important enough in the public interest so that it shall be a judicial inquiry of the fullest nature, with the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, Sir Lyman Duff, being given • free hand without any restrict­ ions to obtain the facts. However, it must be emphasized that this is not an inquiry into the merits of the *rt-ategic defence of the far Eastern fortress, its capitulation, or any de­ cision by’ the War Office or Admir­ alty, but rather it is an inquiry of •ertain charges or allegations made in Canada. SAVINGS DEPOSITS AND VICTORY LOAN According- to information dis­ closed in Ottawa, savings deposits throughout Canada have increased steadily in recent months, being now well over $1,669,000,000 or an increase of over $202,000,000 since the last Victory Loan was floated by the Government In other words, patriotic Canadians should have no difficulty to subscribe more in this campaign than ever before because they have been able to accumulate more and more savings in recent months. GASOLINE RATIONING SCALE AND U-BOATS In face of the Canadian scale of gasoline rationing to become effect­ ive from April 1 onwards, yet it is indicated in the nation’s capital that further restrictions for civilian pur­ poses may be expected. Indeed, it is quite possible, if oil tankers are sunk in greater numbers off the eoasts of the United States and Can­ ada, that inferring that no long range rationing scale is without in­ flexibility. BIG VOICE OF THE •LITTLE MAN” This veteran observer has report­ ed. for some time in the midst of the inspiring surge of political dis­ turbances and demands for “total war” that a large; part of the essen­ tial process of' doing this job would GOOD «6ht ! m uiff atCftlTIN HYDRO LONGLIFE LAMPS be to avoid hysteria, to keep up public morale by staying out of a straight-jacket of gloom or pessi­ mism, and to eradicate those powers, practices, or influences which arc contrary to the best interests of the people of Canada, with the all-im­ portant point being that well-in­ formed sources along Parliament Hill hold now that no amount of bombast and ballyhoo by the press, radio, public platform, personal so­ licitation, and otherwise, can erase the bold fact that nothing should be done at this time which might hin­ der the war effort rather than help or which might give comfort to the enemy. As a direct result of the latest de­ velopments in the by-elections, there is a strong undercurrent in political circles in the capital that' indicates that the finger of destiny will pen now the story of this coun­ try’s greatest moment and that across the nation there is a desper­ ate need for clear thinking and in­ telligent understanding of the dan­ ger facing Canada from the possi­ bility of the man-in-the-street being beguiled into thinking in terms of derision or disparagement of the leaders, military or civilian, who are leading this nation’s war machine. Though much of the effort is still voluntary in truly democratic fash­ ion, yet it is definite that sane, sen­ sible people realize why the Gov­ ernment is trying to accomplish as much as possible in this method of depending upon the character, chas­ tity and morals of the man-in-the- street before resorting to compul­ sory methods in getting recruits for the armed forces, in conserving cer­ tain articles of daily use, in selling war bonds, in suppressing weather reports or other information in pre­ paring for blackouts and so forth, all of which is being shouted at the people from morning to night and from dusk to dawn. In other words, though it is some time now that the by-elections were held, yet well-informed observers in the nation's capital know that reper­ cussions of the results in those four instances where the man-in-the- street in the two sections of the country of most marked difference of opinion on war issues spoke his mind, are coming out only now in gradual stages and much more will come out shortly in face of some efforts to minimize and other efforts to magnify their significance on the national acene. In Welland, which is a very populous constituency in Ontario, there was a large vote of farmers, working people, and natur­ alized foreigners since the district is partly urban and partly rural, with the large majority favouring the new Minister of Labor, lion. Humphrey Mitchell, though a des­ perate campaign was carried on against the present Government’s voluntary methods in this war. The man-in-the street did not want any extreme views on conscription. In South York, which has never sent anyone to Parliament except a Con­ servative and which is partly made up of the wealthiest residential dis­ trict of Toronto, the former Prime Minister, Rt. Hon. Arthur Mcighen, only recently named Chief of the Conservative Party in Canada was defeated by an almost unknown C.C. F- candidate, though the whole cam­ paign by Meighen and his friends centered about their demands for full conscription. The man-in-the- street did not want any extreme views on conscription. In Quebec East and SL-Mary-Montrea), which is wholly French-Canadian and where strong anti-conscription forces opposed the present Government’s candidates, Hon. Louis St Laurent, new Minister of Justice, and Dr. Gaspard Fauteux, the results fav­ oured the two official Government candidates. The man-in-the street did not want any extreme views on conscription. tn plain language, the man-in-the- rtreet throughout Canada has shown quite emphatically that he does not want anything but a balanced uni- ted effort. No radical elements or principles are wanted. Moreover, he does not like -when public men do not keep their attitudes in conform­ ity with past statements. It was recalled that Rt. Hon. Arthur Meighen had stated in an old speech in a by-election in Bagot. "if a crisis should occur in which our country's peace would be threatened, I de­ clare so long as the reins of power are in my hands, I declare this country win not send a man out of Canada without the country being consulted.” When Dr. R. J. Manion was Conservative leader, be stated; "I do not boiiove that r-aedfan youth should be conscripted tofight outside of the'borders of Can­ada.” Finally, the present House of Commons’ leader of the Conserva­ tive Party, Hon. R. B. Hanson has been quoted as stating last summer at Fort William that mobilization will come but not unless it has pub­ lic support. All these statements were repeated prior to the recent by-elections and their effects were obvious. Then again, it was alleged that the Government was plotting or scheming to weaken or destroy the strength of the Official Opposition in Parliament Apparently, the man- in-the-street inclined to the proof that the Prime Minister, Rt Hon. W. L. Mackenzie King held a con­ trary viewpoint because he has stated on more than one occasion that ”an alert constructively critical opposition is second only in import­ ance to the Government itself.” In the last general elections campaign on February 23, 1940, Premier King declared: “An official opposition is an essential branch of Parliament as a safeguard against hasty and ill- advised action by the administra­ tion." At the same time, he added these memorable words: “That is one of the reasons why Parliament itself, by statute, has made the leader of the Oppositon, a salaried officer. His positpn in Parliament, in many respects, js second only to that of the Pri/ne Minister.” What will happen now? According to well-informed observers along Parliament Hill, these latest devel­ opments will merely postpone any show-dawn which was imminent prior to these by-elections. It will encour­ age the Government forces not to yield to any radical or drastic de­ mands by tlje other political parties, ^VICTORY BINDS particularly, on the issue of conscrip­tion for overseas service or for thecreation of a coalition, union or nation government. It will discour­ age any disposition on the part of Liberal members to take sides against the Government’s war poli­ cies. But this does not mean that a show-down on war issues has been removed from the realm of possi­ bility permanently. On the con­ trary, there are definite signs in the nation’s capital which demonstrate that, if developments in the war should produce greater gravities and public opinion outside should demand from the Government to deviate from any course now being followed, especially if- this demand be sup­ ported by Liberal members in Par­ liament, almost anything can happen in Ottawa. So far the Government’s huge majority in parliament has only slightly shown signs of infi­ delity to the official policies, but it is not inflexible, insinuating that by this process alone the Government’s plans may be upset or changed in tune with the fortunes of war or circumstances both inside and out­ side Canada. Indeed, warnings of such a nature have been made sev­ eral times in recent days. This is the beacon of light in the dark obscurity of what the future holds in store in the nation’s capi­ tal and between the lines it is not difficult to surmise its potent in­ ference.—(Reproduction Prohibited.) hibited.

Harold Parr addressedmembers of the Ingersoll Y’s Men’s' Club at their regular meeting in theIngersoll Inn on Friday evening. Rev. Mr. Parr chose as his subject, “The Victory Loan.” He said that It was the call of Canada given to us by our leaders. The beacon fires which will be lighted across Canada are symbolic of a state of extreme crisis. The ancient Indians sent mes­ sages by beacon light to warn of an enemy at the door. Thus its full meaning is that Canada appreciates that we are in very dire circumstan­ ces—the fall of Singapore, the' in­ vasion of Sumatra and Java and the attack on Darwin all point to this. So far our own Canada has not been invaded but we have no guarantee that we* will go unscathed. This burning light is a light of hope bur­ ning in our hearts that power may be given to us and our allies that the day of victory will be ours in the future. When Canada goes over the top with its $600,000,000 Vic­ tory Loan, no greater fact need ex­ emplify the feeling of her people. This is not the time for criticism of the allied war strategy, nor of the policies of our government the speaker declared. The Canadian gov­ ernment is trying to do its best and every time we criticize we are only supporting Hitlety Mussolini or the Japanese. One airpiano today is worth ten next year—one tank to­ day is worth ten next year. We cannot afford to have our troops ill equipped; men cannot fight tanks with bayonets or mills bombs. Thia is a scientific war and calls for great expenditure to mechanize our forces. The speaker hoped it would be the thought of everyone, that they would feel a betrayer to our boys unless they become an active character in this great crusade. At present we suffer no hardship, we can rest at night, eat wholesome meals and enjoy all the comforts of life, while fighting for us are thous­ ands of men who have sacrificed all these, to hold back a ruthless and barbarious enemy, ourselves in our while everything we hold dear is being crucified? Whether we win or lose will be decided by the attitude of the people of Canada and of the other commonwealths. It is our re­ sponsibility to say when the war is over, “1 was part of it, I did my bit.” The club was favoured by several vocal solos by Mr. Syd. Bagnall who was accompanied by Len. Moss at the piano. Both these were stars in the revue, “Ritzin’ the Blitz." The members were thrilled to have these artists present, especially Mr. Moss who hails from Johannesburg, South Africa and has joined the R.A.F. to do his share. A sing song led by Secretary Jim West with Ross Bigham at the piano was thoroughly enjoyed. Committee reports were given by Bert Cair on the Ice Frolic; by George Clifton on the Salvage; by Gordon P;ttoc\ on the hockey and by Harold Uren on the band. Following the meeting, members attended the Beacon Light ceremony and later joined the throng at the St. James’ Parish Hall to enjoy the musical revue, “Ritzin* the Blita.” STORE NEWSFor Thrifty BayersNEW WASH GOODS 36” Bright New Ginghams—45c-59c 36” New Print* NEW PRINTED CREPES 36” Beautiful Spring doiigns in Printed Crepes, Romanf Stripes, Dots, Small Flower# allover patterns, etc. ................. 95c 36” Plain Shades jin Granite Crepe, seven shaddb at........79c 58" All Wool Suiting, assortedshades a t.............J.'...............$2.39 56" Scotch Plaidl, all wool—I $2.50 39" Scotch Pliids, new spun cloth ..................L.................$1.00 36" Old (Fashioned Turkey Redwith lovely Paisley pattern, for comforters, etc. .......................29c NEW DRAPERIES W.

INGERSOLL INN Free Delivery - Phone 498 Authorize Jump In The Basic Rate For Natural Gas The Vcrschoylc Farm Forum met on Monday evening at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Lome Daniel. The business section which dealt with the advantages of township school areas was read by Mr. H. W. Parkhill. Mrs. Lome Daniel was chosen as convener for the evening. The radio broadcast entitled, “Will the Land Hold Out?” was very interesting. The secretaries for the two groups were Miss Anne Sawyer and Mr. Wilfred Smith. It was felt by the group that by planting more trees, reservoirs would hold water and so conserve moisture. Many felt aho that the fertility of the soil could be helped by the proper use of fertil­ iser and the ploughing done of more green crops-clover. It was noted that the land in this district is not as productive as it was seventy year* ago. so the group felt that it was necessary to practise a more rigid program of crop rotation. The second project on Township School Areas was discussed. It was suggested that some children unfit­ ted for professional work through the vocational classes so provided, might find a congenial vocation. The recreational program was conducted by Mr. and Mrs. Harry Ellery. The winners for the progres­ sive euchre were Mrs. Wm. Allison. Sr., and Mr. Wilfred Smith. The next meeting will be held next Monday evening st the home of Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Allison and the topic for dincuariou will be “Sell­ ing Together.” Lion John Speed, addressed mem­ bers of the Ingersoll Lions Club at their regular meeting Tuesday even­ ing at the St. Charles Hotel Coffee Shop. The meeting was well atten­ ded and was presided over by the club president, John E. Borland. Lion Charlie Lambert, now a Pilot Officer in the R.C.A.F., stationed as instructor at the Service Flying Training School at the Uplands Air Port, Ottawa, attended the meeting as a guest and made the presenta­ tion of a silver cup on behalf ofthe dub members to Lion Victor G. Shipton, for his baby daughter. A letter was read from Lion Al. Glazer, who is now stationed at Malta, with the R.C.AF. Lion Cliff. Hines, the immediate past president of the club, was nominated by the club ’ for the office of Deputy Dis­ trict Governor for this zone. A report on the exhibition of paintings by Harry Whitwell, to be displayed in Mayberry and Moon's window this week, under the spon­ sorship of the club, was given by members of the committee. The club president introduced the speaker who gave an inspiring talk on the subject of “Service.” He emphasized the fact that the ob­ jectives of a Service Club should be to render every possible service to the community in which it was es­ tablished. He held that it should be the aim of every club member to seek out opportunities in which his club might give leadership and he coupled this with an appeal to buy Victory Bonds and to support and encouiage the sale of bonds to every other person in the community. He said, “It is the sacrifices that we have to make and should make, that makes membership in a Service Club worth while. We who call ourselves Canadians have a big job to do and this e«n only be done when we ren­ der 100% service to our King and Country." Pilot Officer Lembert briefly ad­ dressed the club. A report on the Community Salvage Collection was given by the representative* from the club on that committee. A draw for a War Seringa Certificate was won by Lion George Baskett Miss E. Wardlaw Taylor of God­ erich, Ontario Provincial Field Secretary for Girl Guides, made her first visit to Ingersoll Guides and Brownies on Monday. She met the Brownie pack with their Brown Owl, Mrs. Stanley Turner and Towny Owl, Miss Margaret Wilson, in St. James’ Parish Hall in the afternoon. Miss Taylor conducted the meeting and delighted the little girls with some new Brownie games. In the ’evening the Guide troop under Cap­ tain Elford and Lieutenant Rayn­ ham, gathered in the hall for a spec­ ial meeting. Miss Taylor conducted a thorough inspection, led in some -flew educational games and songs and gave the girls an interesting talk on the meaning of the Guide Laws. She also inspected a number of the articles made by the Guides and Brownies to be sent to the bombed-out areas of England. Miss Taylor warmly congratulated the Guide and Brownie leaders on their companies, saying that they com­ pared very favourably with the many she had inspected in the more than 3,000 miles she has travelled since last September. Between the meetings, the leaders and Girl Guide Council en­ tertained Miss Taylor at high tea in the ladies’ room; Other interested visitors with the Guides in the evening were Miss Feme Jones of Woodstock, the div­ isional commissioner for Oxford County, and the Rev. H. E. Meri- field. The Dominion Natural Gas Com­ pany, Limited, has been directed by the Natural Gas Referee and War Time Prices and Trade Board to add a supplementary charge to all gas bills rendered after January 1, 1942. This supplementary charge, an addition to the base gas rate, has been established to offset the estim­ ated additional cost of gas service rendered as a result of the con­ struction and operation of a supple­ mentary gas plant for peak load and emergency use. This plant was found necessary by the Government, who requested the Dominion Natural Gas Company, Limited, to construct it to better serve war industries and its regular customers. The amount of this supplemen­ tary charge is at the rate of 4.41c per M.C.F. for gas used each month. The rates so fixed shall continue in effect until revised. A study of the cost of operating this plant will be made in approx­ imately one year’s time, and the sup­ plementary charge will be increased or decreased in accordance with the findings made at that time. The supplementary plant, located near Brantford, has been in opera­ tion since last October and has pro­ duced up to five million cubic feet of gas daily. The travellers in the railway car­ riage were discussing railway mat­ ters. “I consider,” said one, "that the single fare for the double jour­ ney is a very good investment” ‘Ht certainly is,” added another, “because you get a return for your money."
