U. 3. A.. ,2.00REV. R. H. PARR SPEAKERAT BIG EIGHT MEETINGRev. R. Harold Parr addressedthe members of the Big Eight So­ciety at their regular meeting in theI.O.O.F. Hall on Wednesday even­ing, March 4 th. ■ President S. A-Gibson occupied the chair and therewas a good turnout of the members. A number of business mattex-s were discussed. Fred Vyse presented a report on recent euchres held un­ der the auspices of the Big Eight which proved to be highly success­ ful. The matter of holding a bingo was also discussed but was left in abeyance for the present time. The members unanimously ap­ proved of the suggestion that the Big Eight purchase a Victory Bond from their savings account deposit, and the officers .were empowered to make the purchase. Bev. Mr. Parr was introduced by President Gibson. In opening his re­ marks the speaker declared that we arc living in one of the greatest lands on earth and as the result many Canadians are not yet awake to the fact that we are today facing a most ruthless foe and arc engaged in a war that may not be cleared-up for eight years or more. . "We have lost every battle thus •far,” said the speaker, “but we are not going to lose the last one, be­ cause the hearts of our people are strong. We are now facing one of the darkest days in the history of our great Commonwealth of Na­ tions- The only really bright spot in the whole war is Russia, and that country is holding out nobly against the German hordes.” Rev. Mr. Parr emphasized the challenge that goes out to every per­ son in Canada to purchase Victor}’ Bonds and said he felt it was only right that the people of our country should lend their money to the Government so that the, $900,000,- 000.00 objective might be reached. “If this is not done I feel sure other means will be taken to get the re­ quired money,” he declared. The members of the Big Eight were urged to use their influence to make the public more conscious of their responsibility in aiding Can­ ada’s war effort. He asked his hearers to picture the country with all its churches closed and no min­ isters permitted to speak a word of comfort to a bereaved family at a funeral service. The boys of Canada are fighting for such things as this and it is up to the people at home to not let them down. “We will have to endure many privations and hardships, there will much suffering and sorrow before Victory can be won, and we must dedicate ourselves to carry on afid •nd go all out in our war efforts,” •aid the speaker, in closing. The thanks of the club were ex­ tended to Rev. Mr. Parr, by J. Fer­ ris David- It was following the address of the speaker that the Society decided upon the purchase of a Victory Bond.

We have had a very poor attendance so far, but those who have attended have accom­ plished a great deal of work. F would like to thank each and every­ one in the organization for their help throughout the year. We must all do a little more this year and see if it is not possible to have 100 per cent, attendance at these Monday meetings. Just remember that the boys we are working for haven't an excuse to miss a Monday. If you are not working with any other organ­ ization come and give us a hand on Monday afternoons from two until five o’clock. Non-members will be welcomed. I would also like to thank the number of people who donated articles to be sent through our chapter,” continued Mrs. Harper’s statement Following is the annual report of the work accomplished: There were 224 knitted articles sent to I.O.D.E. headquarters; 72 knitted articles were sent to the Navy League; 59 knitted articles were turned in to the Red Cross; three leather jerkins were sent to the I.O.D.E.; ditty bags to the num­ ber of 33 and with a valuation of $180 were donated by members of the chapter and sent to the Navy League to be forwarded to the sail­ ors for Christmas.

Ingersoll W a r Ch a ritie s To every Subscriber and Supporter: Ottawa has recently announced that certain auxil­ iary War Services connected with the armed forces andheretofore financed by voluntary subscriptions would henceforth be paid by the Go/crninent. The organiza­ tions affected by the new pcriicy are Canadian Legion,Salvation Army, Knights of Columbus, Y.M.C.A. and Y.W.C.A., and Navy Lea^de of Canada. But this leavesa great number of organisations doing essential war workstill to be maintained b/voluntary subscriptions from the people. f We have been gfeked how the new policy will affect Ingersoll War Charities. The answer is that Ingersoll War Charities will need just as much money this yearto take care of the expanding needs of these other organ­ izations doing war work, and which must be maintainedby voluntary subscriptions. Of the $18,000.00 approx-ately distributed by Ingersoll War Charities last year,only $5,000.00 was paid for the benefit of the auxiliaryservices, which by the recent pronouncement are now to be maintained by the Government. Eight other or­ganizations received contributions from Ingersoll War Charities last yew, being Red Cross, I.O.D.E., British Sailors’ Society, British Fire Fighters’ Fund, British BombVictims’ Fund, Queen's Canadian Fund, Russian Relief and Greek Relief. All these organizations will be lookingto Ingersoll for continued financial assistance this year, and a new one, Chinese relief, has already been added tothis list Grants are made monthly, and this month theIngersoll branch of the Red Crow Society requested and received $2,000.00. If this necessary support is to becontinued, then all our subscribers must maintain their subscriptions to the very limit of their resource*. If there had been no Ingersoll War Charities last year there would have, been at least ten distinct drives or appeals for funds on behalf of all these organization*.Moreover it is doubtful if the amount distributed could have been raised and collected on separate* drive*. Thisstatement is published to explain the need and to request your continued support so that the business of maintain­ing war charities can be administered in Ingersoll in an orderly as well as effective manner.

Mrs. Spencer and Miss Mae- Waters sang a pleasing duet. Change of Policy The government at Ottawa has found it necessary to decide upon a change of policy in the matter of financing the requirements of such national auxil­ iary services organizations as the Canadian Legion, the Knights of Columbus, The Salvation Army, the Y.M.C.A., the Y.W.C.A. and The Navy League of Canada. Up to the present these national auxiliary services organizations, with the exception of The Navy League of Canada, have obtained the funds necessary for them to carry on their auxiliary ser­ vices—of a recreational and off-duty nature—to the members of the armed forces of Canada at home and abroad through national appeals for funds to the public of Canada. Prior to 1941 these organizations carried on sep­ arate public appeals, but in March, 1941, they united in a joint public appeal. Their abjective was set at $5,500,000, but this objective was exceeded and ap­ proximately $7,000,000 was received from the Can­ adian public. These funds were held by the Canadian War Services Fund Incorporated and released from time to time to the organizations as required. It had been agreed that The Navy League of Canada should join with the other national auxil­ iary services organizations in a joint public' appeal for funds to be made in the spring of this year, at a date to be announced. It had also been planned that the Canadian Red Cross Society should join in this united public appeal with the above mentioned national auxiliary services organizations. Consideration was also being given to the claims of other organizations for leave to join in this appeal. The total budgets of all these organizations were estimated at from seventeen to twenty million dollars. In order to permit such a public appeal the govern­ ment would have had to stand aside for a consider­ able period of time and leave the field clear for the national public appeal of these organizations. This would have involved, among other considerations, the interruption of the government’s appeal for funds through the sale of war savings certificates. The heavy financial demands upon the govern­ ment for the efficient prosecution of the war and the additional amount required during the coming fiscal year for war purposes made it ncbessaiy for the government to give careful reconsideration to the plans for the joint public appeal for funds which had been proposed. The government has now decided to finance from the public Treasury the requirements of the Canadian Legion, the Knights of Columbus, The Salvation Army, the Y.M.C.A, and the Y.W.C.A. for the ren­ dering of their auxiliary services to the members of the armed forces of Canada, at home and abroad in military establishments in camp or barrack areas in Canada, special defence areas as designated by the Director of Auxiliary’ Services and the National War Charities Funds Advisory Board, Newfoundland and Overseas. The hostel operations of The Navy League o of Canada for the men of the Navy and the Mercan­ tile Marine will also be included. There will therefore be no public appeal for funds this year by the ibove mentioned six organizations. Similar action is, however, not possible in respect of the activities of the Canadian Red Cross Society. This organization must continue to be of a voluntary nature in order to maintain its international charac­ ter and its convention obligations. It is different in its nature from the national auxiliary Services or­ ganizations above referred to and its requirement* cannot be met in the same way. There will therefore be a national drive for funds by the Canadian Red Cross Society during thejate spring of this year at a date to be announced later. This public appeal for fund* will be for the purpose of enabling the Canadian Red Cross Society to dis­ charge its functions a* an instrument of mercy in time of war. The election of officers for the Four Square Class of the Ingersoll Baptist Church was held on Monday evening and resulted as follows: Hon. Presidents, Col. T. R. Mayberry and H. E.

Many firm* in search for sugar substitutes have turned, to maple syrup, and already United State* buyer* for maple syrup have appeared in Ontario offering three eenta a pound more for syrup than the 1041 price. The prevailing wholesale price for maple syrup at Toronto last year was $2.40 per gal­ lon, (weight 13 pound* 2 ounce*}, according to fig. urea compiled by the Dominion goveramant. Farmer* who have not already overhauled their maple syrup equipment are advised to do so at once.

LongIn James Hilton’s novel, "RandomHarvest”, he speaks of the rise ofa new England. He toes, he says,"the vision of a new 'England rootedfar back in the old, drawing itsstrength from a thousand years, in­stead of its weaknesses from a hun­dred.” Perhaps that is the meaningof this war. Perhaps it was necess­ ary to draw' attention to our weaknesses and mistakes, .weak­ nesses. and mistakes that were the outcome of selfishness and greed, the mistakes that made it impossible for a League of- Nations to func­ tion, so that it might have prevented this war. Maybe had we been less self-centred, less anxious to accum­ ulate, both ps individuals and nations, we might have seen the League as a great new spiritual ideal, as some­ thing worth crusading for. As he again says in another part of his fas­ cinating story, "It”, "the League”, might have sprung alive out of the soul of a saint, it could only be still­ born out of a clause in a treaty.” We relied on clauses; we relied on men, animated only Iby a desire to seek for ,what appeared good for their own individual countries and not what would have been good for the world as a whole. So with us. We each consider what will yield us satisfaction and not what would best benefit the community. In seeing a new England, Hilton sees a new kind of democracy, a real democracy, based on all that has been fine in the thought of mil­ lions who have made England in the past. Freedom and justice, on which the structure of democracy must be reared, are fundamentals in English character. They have been always. Men have fought and died, generation after generation, to keep those virtdes alive. They have exe­ cuted kings and nobles and prelates alike, that those virtues should not be strangled. They have suffered imprisonment and burning at the stake, cruel persecution and mock­ ery, rather than yield to a false and powerful minority. And they have accumulated through the ages a defiant hatred of all control that would herd them into a nation of , automata. Revolt is in their blood and the desire of any group or na­ tion to coerce or frighten them into submission, has always brought that revolt into active and vehement life. A greedy acquisitiveness among the new industrialists of the last century, the consequent growth of Hideous factory towns, with their filthy slums, which bred a submerged and decadent class of poor humans, the last war which drained man and mind of vitality and inititlve, these were the ills which led to the debil­ ity in that long-fostered growth of a living democracy. But the fires of the enemy have rid England of many of her slum areas and these same fires have helped too, to rid the English mind of much of the muddled-thinking that has caused the torpid acceptance of recognized ills- England is awake and virile again. She is sloughing off the old indifference. She is alive to all that democracy can mean in the future. She sees peace as necessary to her progress, peace within her own bor­ ders and peace beyond, and in the days to come, when that peace, that real peace, has been won, a new England will arise and show the way to the realization of a finer and ever finer way of life.

According to this report, there were 13,805 cases of whooping cough in Denmark in this three-month period in Ontario, whose population of 3,752,000 just about equals Den­ mark’s population of 3,777,000 dur­ ing the same period, there were 1,107 cases of whooping cough. During July, August and Septem­ ber, 1941 there were 1,923 cases of scarlet fever in Denmark, whereas Ontario had 770 cases. 7,230 cases of measles were reported by the Danish Department of Health and during the same period in Ontario, 2,545 cases or i>.ea«es were re- ported- There were 57,135 case's of gas­ troenteritis reported in Denmark for this three-month period. This disease is in an inflamation of stomach and bowel, revealing the bad food con­ ditions in Nazi-dominated territory.« * * According to an editorial which appeared in the current issue of The Canadian Medical Association Jour­ nal, one of the few beneficial effects of the war has been the improve­ ment of the narcotic suitualion in Canada. Much of the improvement is due to the the steady efforts of the Narcotics Division aided by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, the editorial stated. The war has created a shortage of narcotics for illicit dealers and in many localities there is a complete absendp of outlaw distribution. Smoking opium is available at very high price* in curtain areas but the illicit sources of morphine hereoin and cocaine have practically dried up. The editorial warns physician-* and-druggists to exercise the great­ est precaution in protecting their supplies of these drugs as well as in prescribing them. Drug addicts will resort to any cunning to obtain the narcotics. In Toronto, for example, it was found that within a few months 18 addicts using 54 different names had obtained 300 prescrip­ tion* for 5 different kinds of «ar- cofac* from 76 physicians. With the increased scarcity of drugs, the prices on the illicit nar­ cotics have gone sky high. In one city the illicit price of a quarter­ grain tablet of heroin for several months was 53-50. This mean* 114 • grain or more than 16.000 per ounce. “It is doubtful whether there is any other sub’lance in existence, tn relation to which there is such > tremendous variation between legal and ilkit values”, quotes the editor­ ial from the federal report. The reduction in the ordinary consumption of these drugs has been sharp, the editorial shows. The imports of cocaine for 1940 was 819 ounces as compared with 2,192 ounces in 1939. a e • “Canada's emergency wartime* housing program may show a solu­ tion to one of Canada’s greatest peace-time problems—the disgrace­ ful slums of Canadian cities,’’ writes Leonard L. Knott in the current issue of Health, the official publica­ tion of the Health League of Can­ ada. "Across Canada today,’’ writes Mr. Knott, “literally thousands of new homes for workers are being built by a government owned com­ pany, Wartime Housing Limited. This vast residential building pro­ gram is not a slum clearance pro­ gram. It is not even designed to improve the living conditions of Can­ adian wage earners. It is simply an emergency project to give workers in war industries some place to live." Mr. Knott points out that Can­ ada has never undertaken a slum clearance program- In recent years the National Housing Act has done much to assist the low wage-earning class to build better homes, but Mr. Knott says that this Act did noth­ ing to ease the lot of those who were without any capital and were con­ demned to life in the slums. In considering a slum clearance program, Mr. Knott suggests two principal questions that must be answered.' First, the actual cost to the nation, in money, health and morale of permanent slums. Sec­ ond, the cost of replacing these slums by decent, modern, sanitary dwellings. Mr, Knott states that the health cost of slums, in itself, is stagger­ ing. Slums are a cause of the ab­ normal death rate among infants; they are the breeding ground for many contagious and infectious dis­ eases, and also a major cause of Canada’* high percentage of con­ sumptive*. Mr. Knott uses statistics from a recent survey made in a large municipality to show that the cost per slum inhabitant for police and fire protection, public health and other municipal services was 548 a year, while the cost for other residents of the same city was les* than $11 a year. Not only was the slum dweller a potentially sick and potentially criminal citizen, but cost the community an extra $37 a year to live in his unpleasant surround­ings. In answer to the second ques­ tion, Mr. Krtot« Mates; Wartime housing is demonstrating that im­ provement* in building materials and method* over the part decade have so revolutionized the building industry, and so reduced cost that substitution of new, modern dwell­ ing* for old, unsanitary shacks is now entirely possible, and abaolute- ly necessary.” The large factory had organizedits own Home Guard, and the menwere duly posted to guard toe works, The manager approached the main en­trance and the sentry, tom between duty and defense, challenged: “Halt,Mr. Brown! Who goes there’” NORMAN H. EMPEYPASSES SUDDENLYThe community was shocked to learn of the sudden death of Nor­ man Havelock Empey, vWio passed away at the family residence, 81 Canterbury street, Ingersoll, on Thursday evening, March 5th, 1942. Deceased had been in his usual health and had visited his farm on Thursday afternoon, returning home in the evening. He had just finished writing a letter and talking to a sister in the living-room, who left the room and .returned a fe.w min­ utes later to find his lifeless body. The late Mr. Empey was a son of the late Mr. and Mrs. William Em­ pey and was born near Putnam, in the Township of North Dorchester, Middlesex County on August 24th, 1879. He was in his 63rd year and previous to coming to Ingersoll to make his home in 1929, he farmed for a number of years in North Ox­ ford Township, near the village of Thamesford. Of late years he had been engaged in the general insur­ ance business. He was a prominent Mason and was keenly interestediin the Masonic Order and the -work of his church. He was a valued member of St. Paul’s Presbyterian Church, Inger­ soll and was a member of the Board of Managers for many years and was chairman of that body for the past two years, Mr. Empey had been the teacher of a Young Men’s Class in St, Paul’s Sunday School for over 18 years and was the secretary­ treasurer of the local Bible Society.

September 4. Har­ley Longstreet, member of the firm ofDeWitt and Longstreet, brokers, invitessome of his friends to a hotel to ccle*brale his engagement to Cherry Browne,an actress. The party Includes DeWitt,his wife Fern, his daughter Jeanne, herfiance Christopher Lord. Cherry's friendPollux of vaudeville fame. Ahearn,friend of DeWitt. Imperlale, middle-agedLatin, and Michael Collins, brawny Irish­man. A little before six they all leavethe hotel to go to Longstreet's home inWest Englewood. A sudden storm breaksand the party boards a Forty-SecondStreet Crosstown car. Between Ninthand Tenth Avenues Longstreet puts hishand In his pocket for his glasses.He pricks his hand. "What In theworld could've . . ." he starts thickly,and collapses to the floor. Drury Lane,retired Shakespearean actor, offers tohelp District Attorney Bruno and In­spector Thumm solve the murder. TheOfficials are relating the details to him. DeWitt stood stonily, his smallhands clenched. Ahearn and L.ndstruggled with the heavy bodj an j managed to haul Longstreet into a vacated seat Longstreet was gasp­ing weakly; light flecks of foamdribbled from his lips.The growing uproar penetratedforward into the car. Suddenly apoliceman with sergeant's stripeselbowed through. He had been rid­ing on the front platform with the motorman. Longstreet stiffened again, thenbecame quite rigid. The sergeantstraightened up. scowling. "He'sdead. Uh-huh!” He had caughtsight of the dead man's left hand.More than a dozen tiny trickles ofcoagulating blood laced the skin offingers and palm from as many tiny pricks, each swollen a little. “Mur­ dered. looks like. I'don't want any. body to try to get off this car." Hecalled to the motorman: "Don’tmove this car, and see that thosedoors and windows are kept shut—understand?" Then he yelled:"Hey, conductor! Run down to thecorner of Tenth avenue and tellthe traffic cop there to phone the local precinct and tell it to get Inspector Thumm at headquarters.Got that straight? Wait—I'll let you ■out myself. I ain't taking anychance on somebody giving me the slip."The conductor, out in the rain,headed for Tenth avenue on the run.The conductor, water streaming from the visor of his cap, was ham­mering on the rear doors. A po­liceman stood by his side. The ser­geant admitted them and closedthe doors at once."Morrow reporting. On duty at Tenth avenue.”"I'm Duffy, Sergeant, 18th pre­ cinct Call headquarters?”“Yep. Inspector Thumm said foryou to take the car to the GreenLines carbarn at Forty-second andTwelfth. He'll meet you there. Saysnot to touch the body.”When the car reached the hugeshed a group of men in plainclotheswere waiting. Sergeant Duffy pulled the door-lever and Inspector Thumm forged into the car. Thesergeant whispered into the inspec­tor's ear. Thumm thudded to hisknees and. taking out a flashlight,grasped the material of the deadman's open patch-pocket, pulled thepockst wide, and directed the pen­cil of light into the Interior. Puttingdown the flashlight, he produced alarge penknife and with the utmostcaution slit the stitching along one side of Longstreet's pocket. Two objects gleamed in the ray of the flashlight—a silver spectacle caseand a small ball of cork, one Inchin diameter, riddled with at leastfifty needles, the tips of which pro­jected from the cork a quarter-inchall around, making the total di­ameter of the weapon an inch and ahalf. The tips of the needles werestained with a reddish-brown stickysubstance. With the point of hi*penknife Thumm prodded the corkand turned it around. The needle­ tips on the other side were similar­ly stained.Thumm straightened up, exploredhis own pockets, and produced asmall pair of pincers and a packetof Cigarettes. He dumped the cig­arettes into his pocket, lifted theneedled cork put of Longstreet's pocket with the pincers and slipped it into the empty cigarette packetThe inspector then wrapped thia ina half-dozen thicknesses of news­paper and handed the package toDuffy.“That's dynamite. Sergeant” hesaid "Handle It that way. You're responsible for it."Five minutes later Inspector Thumm had weeded out the mem­bers of the Longstreet party Theytrooped silently from the rear of thecar and were «-*corted into a pri­vate room on the second floor ofthe carbarn, where two detectiveswatched them Thumm then su­perintended the exodus of the oth­er occupants at the car. They filedInto a large general room on thesecond floor, guarded by a half-dozen detectives.Inspector Thumm was back inU.< deserted car with the sprawleddead figure when there was theclang of an ambulance and twovoung mon in white hurried Into the “You killed hlqi! You did It! You hated him!” barn, herded by a short fat man.Thumm called: "Dr. Schilling!This way!"The medical examiner of NewYork county puffed into the car fol­lowed by the two internes. He bentover the dead man. then said:"Where can I take this stiff, In­ spector?” Thumm's byes twinkled with grim humor. "Dump him in thatprivate room upstairs with the restof the party. That ought to be in­teresting.” As Dr. Schilling superintendedthe removal of the body. Thummbeckoned a detective. "Have thiscar gone over with a flnc-comb,Peabody. Collect every piece ofjunk in it. Then go over the routesthe Longstreet party and the otheroccupants took in passing to the rooms. I want to make absolutely sure that nobody dropped any­thing.”The Longstreet party sat aboutin varying attitudes of misery andstrain, but all were silent Inspector Thumm surveyed theparty with almost disinterestedspeculation. "Sergeant you toldme that some gentleman here hadidentified the dead man as HarleyLongstreet. Who was that?" Duffy pointed to John DeWitt sit­ting beside his wife on the contin­uous bench that flanked the four walls."You saw that peculiar cork ofneedles I took from Longstreet'spocket In the car,” Thumm said, "Have you ever seen it before?” DeWitt shook his head. "Anyone else here?” All shook their heads.Thumm rocked a little on his heels."Miss Browne. Mr. DeWitt saysthat he saw Longstreet and youdash for the car, and that you heldyour fiance's left arm until you bothgot into the car. Did you see his left hand at all?” "Yes. When he searched for change an$i didn't find any. Justafter we got on the car.”"His hand was clear—no blood?”"No,”"The weapon,” volunteered De­Witt, "must have been slipped intomy partner's pocket while he was on- the car.” The inspector grinned without hu­mor. "Exactly. Miss Browne, whydid your fiance take out his glassesin the car?"“He wanted to see about a cer­tain stock."Thumm clucked encouragingly. "It was International Metals.”She stole a swift look at where Michael Collins sat sullenly study­ ing the floor. "And Harley said,when he saw it had dropped a lot,that Mr. Collins might need help.”Thumm regarded Collins with cu­riosity. "I thought working tor theIncome Tax Department kept youbusy. Where do you come in onthis?”Collins bared his teeth. "I'm notsure it's any of your business, Thumm. But If you must know,Longstreet advised me to buyheavy in International Metals—he’dbeen watching the stock for me.And the bottom just dropped out ofIt today."DeWitt was regarding Collinswith frank surprise. Thumm said quickly: “Did you know about thistransaction. Mr. DeWitt?”"Certainly not I'm astonished tohear that Longstreet advised buy­ing Metals. I foresaw its collapselast week and so advised a num­ber of my personal customers.”"Collin*. did you'Speak to Long­street today before you saw himat the hotel?" asked Thumm."Yea," ominously."No words. I suppose?""Oh, for God's sake!" shoutedCollins. "You're barking up thewrong tree! Are you trying to pin this thing on me?"Cherry Browne was on her feet now, eyes wild and fare writhing fr. rn the sudden sight Long­street's livid clay. She brandished her finger at DeWitt, ran forwardand clutched his lapels, shriekinginto Ids blanched face "You killedtUm! You did it! You hated Mm!"Thumm and Duffy pulled the screaming woman away. Through­out DeWitt stood like stone.Inspector Thumm towered abovethe quivering woman. "How didyou come to say that. MissBrowne? Did you see Mr. DeWittput that cork Into Longstreet's coat?” "No,” she moaned, shaking fromside to side. “I only know he hatedHarley . . . Harley told me sodozens of times—” Thumm snorted, looked signifi­cantly at Sergeant Duffy andsnapped: "Everybody stay here un­til I get back,” then strode tothe general room.The Inspector stamped loudly forattention.The conductor, questioned first, revealed himself as Charles Wood,Number 2101, in the employ ofthe company for five years. Hewas a red-haired' man of perhapsfifty. He remembered the dead manas having paid fares for ten peopleout of a dollar bill."Ever see the man on your carbefore?" "Yep. He’s been getting on pret­ ty often at that time for years.”"Recognize anybody else in hisparty as a regular passenger?”"Seems I saw another man, a weak little guy. Gray-haired, sortof. I've seen him come on prettysteady with the guy that was bumped off.”Thumm then questioned the pas­sengers. No one, it seemed, hadseen anything slipped into Long­street's pocket. Detective Peabodycame in.“Any luck?” asked Thumm. "Dry as a bone. Whatever this bunch had on 'em when they leftthe car IF still on ’em.”“Only one thing to do," Thummsaid. "Search everybody in thisroom. Look sharp for cork, needles,anything that's out of place or outof character. Get busy.” But the search produced nothing. Thumm returned to where theLongstreet party sat miserablywaiting. Dr. Schilling was stand­ing before the screen putting on hiscoat He crooked his finger, andthe two went behind the screen."Death from respiratory paraly­ sis, but that's a detail.” The doctor bobbed his head In the direction ofthe bench; the weapon had beenunwrapped and lay. innocentlyenough, at Longstreet's stiff feet"There are fifty-three needle-endsaround the ball of cork. Their tipsand their eyea, projecting from thecork, were dipped In nicotine—nico­ tine in I think a concentrated form. The fresh pure product to a color­ less and odorless oily liquid.

The con­ductor has often seen him on toacar. How do you account for tou?" (TOBECOXTIM'ED) HISTORIC DECLARATIONON INVASIONIn one of the most important dec­larations of the entire session, Pre­mier Mackenzie King has made itquite clear as to what> he would doif there was any threat of invasion.of this continent this being suppliedin ’answer to a demand from theHon. R. B. Hanson, Leader of the Official Opposition.” “My honour­ able friend asks,” stated . Premier King,” what I would do in case of invasion. Well, the last thing I would do would be to recruit men compulsorily for overseas. I would keep them at home and see that they were ready to meet the invasion." And when Hon. Hanson asked an­ other question, the Prime Minister continued in these exact words: “I do not mind answering that. I re­ gard the moral obligation as one not to 'send men overseas. But with re­ spect to any technical limitation, should immediate necessity arise in the Panhandle or any place in the vicinity of the coast of Canada, I certainly would use the War Meas­ ures Act to see that the men were sent within these immediate areas to protect our own 'shores.” STRONG SUPPORT OF PLEBISCITE If the strong support of the re­ quest of the Government to be freed from its pre-election pledge of no conscription for overseas is supple­ mented by public reaction, the pleb­ iscite results should indicate approv­ al by a Large or substantial majority. This is the present impression along Parliament Hill where it is also ex­ pected that this general support of the Government’s request will be followed by a demand for an “all- out war effort” without delay, with the interpretation of the meaning of a “maxium effort” showing a differ­ ence between the opinions of the Government forces and the other political parties- WHOLESALE REMOVAL OF JAPANESE Alter much agitation and press- - ure by Members of Parliament from British Columbia, both Liberal and Conservative, Municipal Councils, Associations, etc., the Government is planning to effect a wholesale re­ moval of Japanese from certain pro­ tected areas of the Pacific Coast. Moreover, it is an open secret in the nation’s capital that what has been done so far is merely a start in the plan to clean up all and any potential fifth columns in those areas, with the movement being ac­ celerated in time. ADVICE TO ADVISERS An unprejudiced and careful scrutiny backstage in the capital of countless concrete and indisputable facts is causing this experienced ob­ server to reveal at this critical time to the man-in-the-street throughout Canada that there are far too many engagements in this country in dan­ gerous adventures of delusions or hallucinations about war matters in a way that is-without parallel in the history of this country. It is recognized in well-informed circles along Parliament Hill that these Canadians are patriotic, but at the same time they are blind-folded, failing unconsciously to realize that their actions or attitudes hinder Canada's war effort. This is extreme- ly serious at this moment. In fact, it ia more serious than it is possible for the man-in-the-street to prerise in the present perspective of cir­ cumstances or events, especially when it is essential to hold secret sessions of the Parliament or when unavoidable, justified prevarications mark attempts to obtain some in­ formation. In short, they have brought in their wake quite often confusion instead of diffusion of in­ telligence on war matters or prob­ lems. When any national campaign for voluntary enlistments was started, systematically and conscien­ tiously there was an accompaniment of voices demanding forthwith es­ tablishment of universal conscrip- tion which, of course, hindered ser­ iously such voluntary enlistments. When any national campaign for war loans was commenced, there followed boasting, bragging and swaggering claims of reckless and extravagant spending which, of course, interfered seriously in the operations of such efforts for loans. When any campaign for national unity was started a* an essential prerequisite to waging war, there were displays of sectional conceit and vanity on the part of aome who insisted that these were only at­ tempt* to make elephants of flics or giants of Ullipato on the national scene, which, of eowree, undermined tion’s war leaders at a critical time,though these demands for unity orco-operation., in wartime., were notmade by persons who were usuallyawe-stricken and reverence-smittenindividuals in peacetime.Now there is a new discordantnote being sounded in national har­mony which is storting as usual in alow, continuous murmur, but which is certain to be a serious threat, seriously full confidence in this na- though behind the scenes it is stated that it can and might be adjusted in some way. It is in reference to the widely publicized disappointment of Western members of Parliament over the disclosure that the latest census figures indicate clearly that both Manitoba and Saskatchewan may lose three and four seats re­ spectively in the next Parliament. Under the operations of constitu­ tional law and the census figures, the Province of Quebec's fixed par­ liamentary representation of 65 is 'divided into the population and this is the determining factor for the other provinces- Apparently, both Manitoba and Saskatchewan have been unable to keep up .with the growth of population in Quebec dur­ ing the last ten years, though tit must emphasized that it is no mystery along Parliament Hill why this has happened when certain social and economic factors are considered. The war has nothing to do with these changes in face of claims to the contrary because every man from any province .who is away on service of one kind or another, is carefully enumerated and listed as if he was at home in his own locality. In other words, these latest census figures have produced a rather dis­ cordant note in national harmony, especially (behind the Scenes along Parliament Hill since it is felt by Western members that the new re­ distribution act, whenever it is made, inevitably means disappoint­ ment in reducing the representa­ tion or influence of the West at a time when many were beginning to become optimistic in their fore­ casts for that part of the country.

Quite frankly, there is no need for it, if an intelli­ gent observation is made of the whole affair. It must be remembered that an adjustment is possible, though it might require a constitutional amendment to the British North Am­ erica Act if Manitoba and Saskatche­ wan are not to lose three and four seats respectively in the next Parlia­ ment. However, it is possible to avoid such a loss since the law allows special permission to limit or to pre­ vent its full application. Indeed, there is a precedent of such action, though the facts are quite different. After Confederation, which instituted the method of fixing .representation from the provinces in Parliament at Ottawa, periodical census figures from time to time in­ dicated that the Maritime Provinces were losing population at a rather rapid rate in proportion to the growth of the rest of Canada, with the embarrassing result that these provinces could have more represen­ tation in the Senate than in the House of Commons. Therefore, the British North America Act was provision was made that no province should have less representation in the .amended in such a manner that a House of Commons than its determ­ ined or fixed representation in the Senate. This means that the represen­ tion from the Maritime Provinces in the House of Commons was given a definite “bottom” below which they could not fall in the event that the population of these provinces or any other provinces did not grow in the same measure as the rest of the country- Inother words, experienced observers along parliament Hill know that, where there has been a will for aiding one another of the provinces in inter-provincial matters, there has A always been found * way to adjust problems, this being the essential basis for true democracy. The issue of Western representa­ tion is far from settled in face of the census figures- No doubt it will be the subject of careful study by commit­ tee. probably set up in this session in order to look into the whole ques­ tion of redistribution of the seats in Parliament and nothing is likely to be done before the problem has been (Continued on pure 7) making all manner of mili­ tary equipment.

Yet itis no secret in well-informed circlesalong Parliament Hill that this poss­ible reduction of Western represen­tation in the* next Parliament, whichmay be in 1945 or later if preced­ ents are followed and Parliament lengthens its term on account of the war, has created much undercurrent disquiet and anxiety. Of course, there is no specific reason for this attitude, but it is quite typical of the danger­ ous adventures, or erroneous delus­ ions or hallucinations, engaged in this war by many patriotic but blind-fold­ ed Canadians in all walks of life.

More than ever before, security for the family is paramount. While supporting that security, your life insurance dollars, invested in Government Bonds, are helping to buy planes, tanks, ships, guns, and all the other implements of war. Thus your life insurance dollars are helping to safeguard your life and to protect your liberties. At the end of 1941, Metropolitan had a total of $1,319,913,986.74 invested in Canadian and United States Government Bonds... over 23% of the Company’s assets. . In both Canada and the United States, life insurance dollars are helping to finance the industries which are pouring out the steel, chemicals, oil, food, munitions, and other mater­ ials needed for the war and to finance power production and transportation facilities. Each month more and more of your life insurance- dollars are flowing from the channels of peace into investments that serve war uses and war industries.

In fulfilling its obligations to policyholders during 1941, Metropolitan paid or credited to policyholders and their t^neficiaries more than $567,900,000. Of this amount, more than $383,700,000 was paid or credited to living policyholders. Metropolitan is a mutual company.

Upwards of seventy employees and guests of the Ingersoll Quarry of North American Cyanamid Lim­ ited, gathered in the banquet hall of the St. Charles Hotel Coffee Shop on Friday evening, March 6th, for the Annual Safety Rally and ban­ quet of the •firm. Albert* J. Kennedy, Ingersoll Quarry manager, acted as chairman of the evening and welcomed and introduced the guests who included Sandy S. Carr, Niagara Falls, On­ tario, Safety Inspector for North American Cyanamid Limited; Frank Finlay, Niagara Falls, Ontario, Sup­ erintendent of Stores Department of the North American Cyanamid Lim­ ited and Secretary of the Mutual Factory Benefit Association of Com­ pany employees; Charles Nelson, London, Secretary of the Western Ontario Division of the Industrial Accident Prevention Association; Rev. R. Harold Parr, Minister of Trinity United Church, Ingersoll; Charles Downing, Beachville, man­ ager of the Chemical Lime Company Limited; Clarence Robbins and Henry Voigt, of the Chemical Lime Company, knd J. Ferris David repre­ senting The Ingersoll Tribune. A very fine chicken dinner was served by the management of the St. Charles Hotel and during the ban­ quet hour a sing song was led by Tom Hamilton, entertainer extra­ ordinary, from Toronto. Mr. Ham­ ilton brought along his own accom­ panist and provided a program of songs, skits and stories that was in­ terspersed between the speeches. Mr. Kennedy exhibited a Certifi­ cate of Honour which certified that the employees of the North Ameri­ can Cyanamid Limited have pur­ chased bonds of the Second Victory Loan to the amount of 180% of their quota. He said this would be hung in the lunch room at the plant and he thanked the employees for their co-operation in the purchase of the bonds which not only helped the firm reach its quota but was a good investment for the men. Vocal solos by Frank Morris and Beth Barrett of Beachville, were much enjoyed. A letter from Mr. George E. Cox, General Manager of the North American Cyanamid Limited, Niag­ ara Falls, Ont., was read by Mr. Kennedy, in which Mr. Cox express­ ed his regrets at not being able to be present for the banquet and ex­ tended his very kind regards and best wishes to the group lor the best meeting ever. ' Mr, Frank Finlay of Niagara Falls, briefly addressed the men. He too extended the personal greetings of Mr. Cox. He said he was glad to see the Ingersoll Quarry employees able to take part in the Mutual Factory Benefit Associa­ tion and to not© the interest they were showing in the association. He added that he had only been able to spend a few minutes at the plant be- i fore the meeting, but during that time he noticed many improvements since his last visit, which he felt made it worth while for him to come to Ingersoll. He mentioned the fact that good housekeeping was one of the best starts towards accident pre­ vention. Mr. Finlay extended the greetings of the men from the Niag­ ara Falla plant and expressed the hope that sometime in the future the Ingersoll employees might icme to Niagara Falls for the annual gath­ ering of the Mutual Benefit. Associa­ tion. He asked for any suggestions th* Ingersoll employees cared to offer and volunteered to present them to the directors when he re­ turned home. Mr. Kennedy in addressing the members also placed emphasis ou the fact that good housekeeping was essential to safety. He spoke at some length «n the need for salvaging any material that could be used for aiding Canada’s War effort, such a* tin can*, as tin is proving a most dif­ ficult article to procure.

Don’t beafraid of taking your time to dothese things. You may also be ableto save a lot of oil. I am putting this thing up to you as man to man. Let’s all get as salvage conscious as we can. Rev. R. Harold Para; minister of Trinity United Church, Ingersoll, who came here last year from Stam­ ford, spoke to the gathering. Rev. Mr Parr congratulated the men on their marvellous achievement in connection with the Second Victory Loan in going well over the top. He paid tribute to the co-operation of Mr. Kennedy and the esteem in which he was held by the men. He said, "I found out when I lived in Niagara Falls that the North Amer­ ican Cyanamid Limited was regarded as one of the best firms there. They always showed an interest in the welfare of their employees andnever in the history of your com-1 pony have they had a strike. I be­ lieve this is because of their under­ standing of the men. This not only speaks well for the company, but also for the men." Rev. Mr. Parr referred to legisla- lation that was being introduced in the House of Commons to provide for the rehabilitation of the men of the armed forces after the war and said, “we arc at least beginning to value human personality. >He asked, “What are you worth? Arc you worth what you cost or what you control? He replied by saying you are worth the difference between the amount of happiness you bring into this world and the amount you take out.” He urged the men not jo look upon the tasks they have to do in life as just a job but to consider their efforts as a contribution to hu­ manity and an endeavour to bring the greatest amount of happiness_to. the rest of the world. In conclusion he said, "You men have that some­ thing. In order to get the most out of life, value the personality of the fellow working next to you.” A list of the former employees now serving overseas and on active service in Canada was read by Mr. Kennedy. The men stood with bowed heads in tribute to James Todd, who was employed at the plant before enlisting in tho Royal Canadian Navy and who was the first young man from Beachville to meet his death in this war. He was reported killed when the Corvette he was on, was sunk. Rev. Mr. Parr ojfered prayer for the late James Todd and for the safe return of the other men who are serving their country.

We see piles of knitted garments—made while, carrying on our regular housework—and are en­ couraged. Then, too, there are the hours spent on other wartime activ­ ities—and yet, it may be possible for us to accomplish more, such as finishing an extra quilt, baking for a community meeting, packing more parcels, or attending a Red Cross meeting. But, don’t forget that hard work brings the need for relaxation. So why not plan a few simple parties— and make sure that the children also have a fair share of happy times. When nerves are tense, a new tested recipe will amuse the homemaker— as well as please the family—and interesting meals will cheer us all. But, whatever we are planning, economy should always be our ‘watchword’ Soon, it .will be “St Patrick’s Day in the mornin’ ” and one of the fol­ lowing-suggestions may be a sur­ prise and a real treat. tag* stamps, from which th* dye* can be extracted; bottle cape, paper, carboard sad metal foil.

He added that the example set by the foreman, plays a big part in acci­ dent prevention, and declared, “if you find the men committing an un­ safe act in many cases you find the foreman doing the same thing." He appealed for the co-operation of the employees of the Ingersoll Quarry in accident prevention. Charles Nelson, secretary of the Western Ontario Division of the In­ dustrial Accident Prevention Asso­ ciation, addressed the gathering and showed two talking pictures dealing with the importance of getting first aid for small cuts and of good housekeeping in plants so that acci­ dents might be prevented. In referring to the war, Mr. Nel­ son said: "There never has been a war but what there was a great change afterwards. There never has been a war but what some great benefit was derived afterwards for the working classes.” The speaker gave a brief synopsis of the history of accident prevention and credited John Lodge Cabot as a great bene­ factor in this field. Great forward strides have been made in accident prevention, since associations were formed to cope with the appalling number, of acci­ dents it was pointed out "Every time industry is speeded up our problem becomes greater. The cost of accidents in Ontario last year was nearly ten million dollars, and was the largest in the history of the province," said Mr. Nelson. He •added: "The Cyanamid record of 145 days without an accident shows what you can do. Please give tut your co-operation so that this im­ provement may continue.” He eited a number of accidents in this dis­ trict and added that employees would think a lot more of the safety movement if they .were brought in contact with the serious results that occur from accidents. He de­ clared: “You men are lucky that you work for an organization that has the welfare of’ its employees at heart. He mentioned that la>t year Oxford County presented an in­ crease of 63% more accidents than the previous year, and said: “Wood- stock and Ingersoll are the black marks in Western Ontario. We need co-operation if we are to prevent these accidents." Fred A. Delaney, office manager of the Ingersoll Quarry, assisted Mr. Kennedy in the arrangements for the banquet. At the conclusion of the evening's program, the chairman expressed the thanks of the ften to all who had in any way contributed to the success of the get-to-gether.
