M. WALTON RESIGNS AS
SUPERVISING PRINCIPAL
INGERSOLL PUBLIC SCHOOLS
After twenty-one years of service
in the public schools, of Ingersoll,
M. Walton, Supervising Principal,
tendered his resignation at the regu
lar meeting of the Ingersoll Board
of Education on Monday evening.
This is to become effective the end
of June, 1942.
Mr. Walton who came to Ingersoll
in September, 1921, to take over
the principalship of Victory Memor
ial School was the first principal of
the school for the opening of the
first term after the construction of
the building was completed. He
succeeded the late Joseph Stalker,
the principal of the old Central
School, which the present modern
educational institution replaces.
Mr. Walton waslbom and raised
on a farm near Harrow in the Town
ship of Colchester South, Essex
County. He attended Public School
in Harrow, Essex High School,
Windsor Model School and the Strat
ford Normal School. His teaching |
career of forty-one and a half years,
has been of a long and varied
nature. His first nine years in the
teaching profession were spent in
his native County of Essex, two and
a half years of this being at the
school on Pelee Island, where he met
his wife, and on October 4th, 1907,
was married to Margery Watt of
that place.
Mr. Walton came to Oxford
County in 1910 and his first school
in (his district was the North School
at Sweaburg, in West Oxford Town
ship. After teaching there for two
years he went to Bright as principal
of the Bright Public School. In 1914,
he moved to Woodstock where he
was principal of the Princess School
for six years and Assistant Principal
of the Central Schoo] for one year
previous to his appointment as Prin
cipal of Victory' Memorial School,
Ingersoll.
Mr. Walton in an interview with
The Tribune recalled that he started
his teaching career at a salary of
$300.09 per year and had no in
crease during the first three years.
In 1910 he was getting $600.00 per
year and came to Woodstock at $900
advancing there to $1900.00.
Mr. Walton is known personally to
every teacher in Oxford County and
has a host of friends in the teaching
profession throughout the province
for his position as secretary-treas
urer of the Oxford Teachers’ Insti
tute since 1921 brought him in con
tact with hundreds of teachers. He
has been one of the Board of Edu-
cation appointees to the Ingersoll
Public Libray Board since coming
here. In 1937, on’ the occasion of
the accession of King George VI to
the throne, he was awarded the
King's Coronation Medal in recogni
tion of his long and faithful service
and this is one of hi smost highly
prized possessions.
During his two score years in the
teaching profession, many pupils
have passed through his hands. To
day there are dozens of these men
and women occupying positions of
importance in the field of business
and industry, who owc a great deal
to the teachings of Mr. Walton.
Principal Walton is a great lover
of nature, his early life spent on
Pelee Island was much to his liking.
There he found that outdoor life
fascinated him and he says that
those days of quail-shooting, black
bass fishing, yachting and ice-boat-
ing are days never to be forgotten.
For many years he has had a sum
mer home on Pelee Island and re
turns there every summer for a few
days to meet old friends and in
dulge in^the gentle art of angling.
It will be the sincere wish of his
host of friends that he may be blest
with good health ao that he can
enjoy his well earned rest from the
teaching profession in a happy and
pleasurable way.
Mr. Walton is most appreciative
of the many personal kindnesses he
has received since coming to Inger
soll and declares that he has made
a great many friends in ths town
and district, whose friendships he
will ever cherish. He asks The Tri
bune to tender his appreciation for
the wholehearted co-operation and
support he has always received from
the Board of Education since ac
cepting a positron on the Ingersoll
Publie Schools Teaching Staff.
Parks Board Start
Spring Activities
The Ingersoll Parks Board has
commenced its work for the present
year. Charles Guilford, Parks Care
taker, started his duties for the
season last week and on Wednesday
last, George H. Mason, chairman of
the board, James R. Spaven, secre
tary and the members, A. P. Barker,
W. W. Wilford, Henry I. Stewart
and James N. Henderson along with
Charles Guilford, visited the Provin
cial Forestry Station at St Wil
liams and brought back to Ingersoll
some 3000 young trees of various
species which will be planted in the
board’s nursery at Memorial Park
to replenish the plantings made
there about four years ago which
are being used this season for civic
beautification purposes.
Already five beds of evergreens
have been planted on the vacant lota
of the north side of King street east
between Mill and Water streets and
this has added greatly to the appear
ance of this former eye-sore.
Another spot where trees will be
planted in the near future will be
on the south side of the Thames
river bank at the Thames street
bridge, and the board have under

needs for beautification from yearto year.

with the National Holstein Sale at
Brampton Ontario, on May 27. Last

sale by the County Holstein clubs
in Ontario. A very high standard

Tradition and Service
The measure of what Canada and the Empire owe
to tradition in the way of service in our war at sea
particularly, as well as on land and in the air is some
thing that cannot be estimated, but something that
has meant more victories than defeats, more glorious
epics than discouraging failures in Empire history.
The traditions that Drake, Raleigh, Frobisher, Nel
son, Beatty, Cunningham built in their adventures
and battles for the Empire have meant many naval
successes in later years too, for sailors, in adhering
to traditions of bravery have themselves helped
build and strengthen traditions of bravery and cour
age for present day sailors to follow. In their follow
ing of tradition they have meant successes instead
of failures for our Empire navies.
And now sailors of to-day unwittingly hit the news
columns almost every' day when the stories of their
bravery at sea, under attack by plane and gun,
through bombings and shipwreck are told to the
world. They are making traditions through follow
ing tradition.News came to light the other day of a young sail
or who, following the example of his father’s service
in the R.N.V.R. in the Great War, enlisted in the R.
C.N., for 21 years. He served gallantly at Dunkirk,
Crete and in Norway, only to lose his life a few days
ago whilst on service.He followed tradition and made tradition for
others to follow by serving, and dying for his coun
try and Empire. Thousands more are doing the same.
They leave a glorious heritage and tradition for our
youth of to-day to follow.
It is these gallant sailors who, in following tradi
tion, serve the Empire-all freedom-loving sailors in
deed—that the Navy League is proud to serve, with
our continued support.—Carl Eayrs for the Navy
League.

machines in Britain met and undertook to adapt their machinery tothe job. The alterations called forcareful work by expert machinistsand many impromptu ideas, but oneof the first factories to announce itsreadiness was that of a South Walesfirm whose name in peace time wasa household word in artificial silk.RUSSIAN WOUNDEDThousands of lives are beingsaved in Russia’s armies by treatingtheir wounds with the group ofdrugs known as the sulphonamidesincluding the famous M. & B. 693.
Supplies of it have formed part of
shipments of drugs dispatched from
Britain to Russia.
In bombed cities as on battle
fields many lives can be lost from
the infection of wounds. When the
wounded have to be carried long
distances, as in Russia, or wait
their turn for surgical operations,
it may be too late to prevent exten
sion of the infection and the deadly
bacteria from circulating through
the blood stream.
When sulphonamides first came
into use in medicine they were ad
ministered by mouth or by injection
and combated infection after being
conveyed to the infected tissues by
the blood stream. About three years
ago American surgeons showed that
one of the sulphonamide group,
known as sulphanilamide, could be
applied in powder form directly to
a wound and that, if this was done
in the early stages, infection of the
wound could be prevented. Early in
the war this procedure was develop
ed by British Army doctors in
France, and, although the records
obtained were largely lost in the
evacuation from Dunkirk, surgeons
brought back very favourable im
pressions of the new technique. It
was in London’s air raids, with hun
dreds of people receiving dirty
wounds like those of battle-fields,
that a more complete body of clin
ical data was first obtained.
In the British Army wounded and
civilian "blitz” casualties M. & B.
693 was much employed for local
application to wounds, and another
drug of this group—sulphathiazole
(M. & B. 760) may be even more
useful for this purpose. It is made
by the British firm of chemists who
discovered M. & B. 693 and also the
more recent diamidines which have
effected striking cures of certain
tropical diseases. The introduction
of M. & B. 693 and of the diami
dines are landmarks in medical
science.

BRITAIN’S MERCHANT ARMADACargo can be handled twice asfast as in 1939 by the ships nowleaving yards in a steady streamall over the United Kingdom.Scores of new tankers large andfast refrigerated* cargo vessels andgeneral cargo carriers of severalsizes are already in service—a triumphant vindication of the policy ofthe. British Admiralty not to adopt
one standard type of merchant ship
but to use a number of types de
veloped before the war for different
trades.
Exact plans used in this collossal
programme have been sent to Can
ada, Australia and the United
States where ships are now being
produced at the unprecedented rate
of two a day.
Britain’s standard ships arc a
very great advance on their prede
cessors of 25 years ago: indeed in
many, respects they are better than
those launched just before the war.
Besides possessing twice the capa
city of the 1939 vessels in handling
cargo, to-day’s, whether steam or
diesel driven, have ahigher speed.
The new merchant fleet has prac
tically every item which will be
needed in peace time, a useful indi
cation of the official view on/the
result of the Battle of the Oceans.
Accommodation has been improved
beyond belief. The fo’c’s’le has
gone and the modern tramp has deck
houses for its petty officers, seamen
and firemen specially designed. Here
they sleep in cabins with two berffis,
wardrobes and mirrors. There are
bathrooms and they have their
meals in separate small messes.
Even passenger accommodation
which will be needed when peace
comes has not been forgotten and
it has been done as artistically as
if there was not a U-boat under the
ocean.
MILK FROM THE PLOUGH
In producing 870 gallons of milk
a month from only 47 acres of
ploughing and grassland a tiny farm
below the Sussex Downs has shown
how British agriculture can adapt
itself to the war effort.
Before the war Mr. J. Cranfield
ploughed only eight of the 47 acres
of Woolton Farm, East Chilting-
ton, near Lewes. His 18 head of
livestock included only eight cows
in milk and two working ±qrsgs,
and he had to buy each year 10
tons of feeding stuffs and 4 tons of
fertilisers. For labour he had two
men and a boy. By the winter of
1941 he had increased his cattle to
30 head, with 18 milking cows, and
his milk production had risen from
450 to 870 gallons monthly. At the
same time purchases of feeding
stuffs were reduced to 6 tons. All
this without adding a single acre of
land to the farm.
The job was done by ploughing
up another 16 acres, making the
farm just half arable and half
grass. Production amounted to 40
tons of silage (great reliance has
been placed on the aftermath cut),
25 tons first-class hay, 75 tons man
golds; 60 tons kale, 15 tons of pea
haulm, 100 sacks of peas and oats
and 30 tons potatoes. Purchased
concentrates could have been still
further reduced had the peas not
been sold for seed.
In producing three to four time*
as much as in pre-war years from
his little farm, 65-year-old Mr.
Cranfield has the assistance of a sop
under military age and another 23
years old, temporarily released from
military service, who spent four
years at the East Sussex County
Institute Farm. Schoolboy* were
called in to help plant the three
acres of potatoes, and members of
the Women’s Land Army for lifting
the potatoes, and threshing the
corn. A boy apprentice obtained un
der the Government’s scheme U now
in regular employment.
Hoarders ar® people who buy and store away goods
beyond their immediate needs. “X
They want to be in an unfair position over theirneighbors.
Hoarders are traitors to their country and their fel
low citizens, because by creating excessive and un
necessary demands for goods, they slow down thewar effort.
There is no excuse for "panic buying" and hoarding.
Everyone will have enough, if no one tries to get
more than a fair share.
Hoarding must stop I Every unnecessary purchase
makes it more difficult for Canada to do a full warjob.
THERESA L AW AGAINST HOARDING
It is against the law to buy more than currant need*.
Violation of the law is punishable by fines up to $5,000, end
imprisonment for as long as two years.
The sad news was received by her many friends on
Tuesday morning of the death of Florence Noxon,
wife of Dr. F. D. Canfield. She had only been ill
since Saturday. She was a daughter of the late James
Noxon and had lived all her life in Ingersoll. She is
survived by her husband, one daughter, Marjorie,
Toronto; a sister, Miss Nellie Noxon, Ingersoll and
three brothers, W. C-, and James Noxon of Toronto,
and Samuel Noxon rin Chin*.

her daughter, Addie, was waited in marriage to

LIBYA’S MOSQUITOES

When the Libyan campaign be
gan, the British Government called

flies and other pests. The material

O T T A W AWEEK BY WEEK— by Dean W’lson —SIGNS OF A LONG SESSIONSince many ministers and otherparliamentarians have been extremely active on the plebiscitecampaign and many subjects are duefor long discussions before they areendorsed, there are signs backstagealong Parliament Hill that this maybe a rather lengthy session, probably extending into the summer.THE WAR AND THE CENT.
The man-in-the-street throughout
Canada may soon find that the war
has affected even the lowly cent be
cause the scarcity of tin would force
the Royal Mint in Ottawa to reduce
or to cut out its use of tin in the
formula for this coin- which com
prises copper, zinc and tin in cer
tain quantities.
TAX RECEIPTS ARE SOARING
If there are any Canadians who
still doubt that earnings have in
creased in a surprising manner,
their scepticism should be gone
when it is disclosed that in well-in
formed circles in the nation’s capi
tal it is expected that over a million
taxpayers in this country will pay
about $740,000,000 in income tax
ation in the fiscal year just ended,
with the total receipts in this regard
being a strong factor in determin
ation of the scale for next year.
COMPULSION z
AND EMPLOYMENT
It is now indicated in Ottawa that
the new scheme of the national se
lective service plan entails total con
trol of employment of man-power
and woman-power in this country,
with the likelihood that the ultimate
results of this inventory and regi
mentation may be used both for
emergencies "in this war and in the
post-war period un|il proper adjust
ment or reconstruction can be affect
ed. Moreover, it is no secret in Ot
tawa that if voluntary co-operation
is not forthcoming in carrying out
the scheme in any respect whatso
ever, than compulsory methods
would be employed in the national
interest under the National Resour
ces Mobilization Act. At the pres
ent time, the task involves an assign
ment of dealing with the occupation
problems of at least 300,000 Canad
ians this year, with the forces tak
ing about 200,000 men and war in
dustries about 100,000 men and
women.
WAR LEADERSHIP AND
WAR PLEBISCITE
In this terribly overcrowded
tion’s capital, a veteran observer is
filled with unspeakable emotions to
walk through literally miles of cor
ridors or lobbies, offices, banks, res
taurants, and every sort of place,
both public and private, and to dis
cover from loafing or hard working
men and women, who represent a
cross-section of the people and who
echo public opinion across the coun
try, that a certain degree of multi
plying confusion or monumental
carelessness of thought still exists in
Canada on the plebiscite which is
easily right now the most heated
and lively topic of discussion back-
stage along Parliament HUI in face
of all other headlines.
It seems that the tendency is to
look upon the actions of the higher-
ups ip regard to the plebiscite
merely as reflections of the desires
of the general public. This is faith
fully in accord with the concept by
the man-in-the-street of leadership
or statesmanship which has been gen
eral in the English-speaking pre-war
democratic world. In pre-war Brit
ain, various Prime Ministers, not
ably Lord Baldwin, used to contend
that fear of the results at the polls
restrained the government In pre-
war United States, various Presi
dents, including President Franklin
D. Roosevelt always were careful to
keep in step with the masses in
order to maintain popular support.
In Canada, it has been the same
story with the men at the helm uf
the ship qf state.
The statesmanship ha- implied
steermanship of the ship of state
where consultation of the passengers
was not unknown, though there
have been frequent allegations that
this spelled the negation of repre
sentative government because the
men at the helm were supposed to
do the steering according to the
course which only they could decide
na«
sponsibility to the people. It has
been chanted that in critical times
the leaders whom the people ot Can
ada elect to high office must assume
authority aa well aa be accountable
to the people who should be held no
more coreaponsible with officialdom
gers on a ship can be for the decisions of the captain and other officers.What are the facts in the case ofthe plebiscite?Premier Mackenzie King has declared definitely in Parliament thathis colleagues of the Cabinet andhimself intend to ask the people tovote “yes" in the plebiscite. Thismeans that the Government has adopted a simple and direct attitude
in this issue because the Govern-
: ment does not desire to engage in
• the struggle with the hands tied in
so far as using compulsory methods
• for raising sufficient men for over
seas service is concerned, if this is
necessary.
Under the circumstances, it is
apparent now to the man-in-the-
street throughout Canada what is
the present serious war situation
and what are the grave obligations
of the Government to the people of
Canada and her allies. ft can be
noted that in the other English-
speaking democracy of this hemis
phere, our great neighbours and war
partners in, the United States, there
is considerable difficulty to under
stand why Canada has not yet done,
after two and a half years of war,
what the United States did on the
very first day that their nation en
tered officially into the struggle. It
is quite true that United States en
tered the war officially only when
their territory in Pearl Harbour had
been attacked by Japan, while Can
ada decided to enter the war from
the day that Germany started the
attack on Poland without waiting
for the time when Canadian terri
tory would be attacked.
But anyone, who believes that
the Japanese attack in Pearl Har
bour involved only the United
States and not Canada, is under an
absolutely false impression. Canada
is an integral part of the North
American continent and the borders
between this country and the Uni
ted States have no meaning under
the present conditions of the war.
Vancouver and Victoria are in dir
ect line with San Francisco and Los
Angeles and Halifax, St. John,
Quebec and Montreal are in a sim
ilar position with New York, Boston, |Portland and Philadelphia. The I
fate of Canada is now so closely
related to the fate of the United
States that every loss which United
States suffers in any part of the
Atlantic or the Pacific is a step
closer to a possible attack on our
own shores.
Still there are a great many
people in Canada who claim that
our armed forces should be concen
trated mainly in this country so
that this nation can be prepared
against any possible attack on her
own shores.. They point out the
case of Australia which sent her
armed forces to various battlefronts
of the Empire and now the enemy is
attacking on her own shores, with
the result that Australia must ap
peal for help from other nations.
But the case of Australia indicates
something else. It discloses that, i
since Australia has strong allies or '
partners who have come to her i
timely assistance, the enemy will en- I
counter such strong resistance on i
her shores that she would never have i
been able to offer alone, even if she i
had not sent a single soldier or gun i
to help the Empire in Libya, Greece i
or other fronts. Without the active <
help of these powerful allies or part- i
ners, Australia would now be in a 1
desperate position with Japan at her
door, even if she had retained on
her soil every soldier and gun for
the last two and half years of this
war.
Canada is in a somewhat similar
position now. Without the active
co-operation or help of Britain and
United States, Canada might find
herself in a possibly doubtful situa
tion in the event of a direct attaek,
but thia country can probably avoid
such consequence* through her com.
plete co-operation and partnership,
including all her human and mater
ial resources, in the common under
taking of ail the allies who aim to
strike the enemy wherever or when
ever that may be, doii< the utmost
to prevent the enemy from even
reaching the stage of. any possible
direct attack on the New World.
4 Obviously, every move indicates
that this is the strategy in Wash
ington and London. It follows that
the leaders in Ottawa, whom the
people of Canada have elected to
high office in this war, are inclining
gradually to this same strategy
more and more, merely seeking the
proper authority to do so by mean*
of tbe plebiscite. It is nothing more
or less. It ia not a resignation of
war leadership. It is not a sign of
totalitarian war leadership. It la not

Min Mary B. Purdy
Laid To Rest Here
The death occurred at the East
Windsor General Hospital, Windsor,
on Wednesday, April 8th, of a for
mer Ingersoll resident, in the per
son of Miss Mary B. Purdy. Deceas
ed who was in her 55th year, hud
been ill for the past six months.
She was not well known here as she
had been a resident of Windsor for
the past 22 years. The only near
relative surviving is an aunt, Mrs. M.
J. Johnson of Thornhill, Ontario.
The remains were brought to Ing
ersoll and the funeral was held from
the Fred S. Newman Funeral Home,
corner King and Duke streets, on
Friday afternoon, April 10th. Ser
vice was conducted at 3.30 o’clock
by Rev. R. Harold Parr, minister of
Trinity United Church. The service
was attended by relatives and

IMAGINATION— by—Eveline A. LongImagination creates the idealist,the person who sees things as theymight be, the person, who fromthe hard-headed realist point ofview, is lacking in the necessarysense of realism. This is not so, ofcourse, for the idealist who in his
dreams sees the possibility of his
ideals being one day realized, may
He quite as well aware of the diffi
culties to be overcome as his less
sentitized brethren. But he, the
idealist persists in keeping his
mind’s eye on the ideals he has
created knowing that eventually his
enthusiasm and faith, and the en
thusiasm and faith of others like
him, wil sweep away all obstacles to
the realization of dreams.
The mind given to imaginings is
too often supposed to be less funda
mentally sound than the one in
which imagination plays little part,
but if we were to segregate those
who lacked imagination, those to
whom imagination was an unreal or
rather unwholesome thing, from |
the rest of the world of men, we
should ‘ have the hard-headed busi
ness man, the scientist without in
spiration, the doctor to whom a pa
tient was a case, and a case only,
the man who, seeing miraculous
healings of patients given up as in
curable, could still say that science
alone must be the sole mentor.
The imagination that works its
way from imaginings to realities is
of sublime importance. It is God
given, as are the skills that event
ually make dreams come true. With
out men of vision, men who foresee,
men who know that their dreams are
the realities of the future, all men
would have remained jungle crea
tures, eating to fill their stomachs,
and never dreaming to fill their
minds. Men of action, that is men
who act to produce certain results,
are men of imagination first. Real
ists they may be, indeed must be to
get results, but unless they fore
saw, used their imagination in or
der that all available material nec
essary to achieve results were gath
ered together, they could’nt succeed.
The artist sees before he executes; the writer of music hears be
fore he jpens his manuscript, the
soldier fights his battles before he
meets the eneqiy. It is all done in
imagination before it is executed in
reality. Imagination may be among
the imponderables but it is real,
very real, for all that, and when we
lack it, or having it, fail to use it,
we lack or fail to use what makes
it possible for man to become super
man, for superman to become God.
Fall Fair To Have
SuperHolstein Show
The Ingersoll Fair which It is
understood will be held some lime
in October, is to have an outstand
ing feature this year. This is a
Super-Holstein show of prize win
ners at the country fair* and will
consist of animals chosen from. the
Western Ontario Counties to the
number of 150 head Mr. Byron G.
Jenvey, field secretory of the Hol
stein Association of Canada, pre
sented the proposal at a meeting of
the Ingersoll, North and Wert Ox-
ford Agricultural Society, held on
Saturday night and it wa* unani
mously accepted on the motion of S.
A. Gibson and Harry Little and
will be under the auspices of the
association, but it wa* stressed by
Mr. Jenvey that the local society
would be expected to provide ade
quate accommodation and all nec
essary facilities.
The animals which will comprise
the exhibit, will be the second,
third and fourth winners at county
fairs, and the prize money which
will be provided by the association
will probably aggregate $700. The
prize list will contain a complete
description of each animal exhibited.

The Plate Supper
Hello Homemakers! With the ten
dency towards small parties these
days, let’s {alk about ‘wfiat shall we
eat?’ After all, it is nice to ask the
Knit and Chatter girls over for
lunch and an afternoon of work and
talk. Or maybe our cousins will drop
in on Sunday afternoon and share
supper with us around the fireplace.
J • • •
Plate suppers—the favourite dish
for many of these occasions—must
be planned well ahead of time. If
you have glass salad plates, do use I
them—they are so gay. And now for 1
your menus—which are really easy
to prepare. I
• • a
May we suggest Plum Broilettes?
Shape well-seasoned, mashed pota
toes into balls the size of large
plums, then dip them in egg white.
To go with them, mince round steak,
moisten with tomato juice, bind with
fine, dry crumbs, season with chop
ped celery leaves and roll into tiny
Sausage Rolls. Cover these and store
in the electric refrigerator until 15
minutes before serving. While our
hot dish is broiling—by placing
meat and potato balls in broiling
pan, two inches below hot top oven
element, you can arrange the plates,
And you will want a salad to serve
with this. Plain cabbage, shredded
exceptionally fine beforehand,
should be marinated with a salad
dressing to which applesauce and
horseradish have been added. Place
this salad mixture on a bed of wat
ercress and garnish with shaved car
rot strips. Small pickled pears,
cored and stuffed with small peanuts
would be a surprise tidbit. With the
addition of the broiled potatoes and
-^usages, everything is now- ready
( to be served on the plates.
If you are serving lunch at the
table (and don’t have to worry
about balancing plates on your
knees), try tenderloin prepared in
a somewhat similar way. Cut the
tenderloin crosswise in 2-inch pieces,
make a slit in the centre, and fill
with quartered apples—about one
apple in each piece. Place in a cass
erole with the apple side up and
cook for fifteen minutes in electric
oven at moderate temperature.
Cover and leave in oven until ready
to serve—the retained heat will finish
the cooking and keep it hot for an
hour. Place a good-sized serving of
potato salad, seasoned with onion,
pepper and salt, on shredded cab-
bage moistened with lemon juke;
sprinkle with paprika and garnish
with celery. When yod have added
your tenderloin strips, your plate
>» complete. And don’t forget, hot
buttered rolls. Place them below
the broiling pan or in a paper bag
on the same shelf as the casserole.
They will taste just aa if they were
coming out of the oven for the first
time.• • •
A serving of rich chocolate cake
with a topping on it—for a change
—will give your luncheon the final
touch. Delicious? Of course. Hope
>x>u have a nice party!

TO CALL FOR MONEY BELTS
All Ingersoll men who enlist for
active service, are remanded that
the Ingersoll Kiwanis Club has made
it a practice of giving each one a

I THE INGERSOLL TRIBUNE, THURSDAY, APRIL 16, 1942 Page 7VISIONSVivid the pictures flashed on the mind’s screen,Of things that have happened, or been conjured in dreams;Wrested they may be from memory’s store,Or gleam but faintly, shadows of old lore.Solid the fabric that once made their shapes,But released in fancy, came wraith-like in form.Told to a people to whom physical thingsOnly have purpose and meaning and being,Visions are oddments of a mind not secure,Not set in bedrock, plumb on all fours.But mind is of substance, not earthy and heavy;It seeks but to climb, to work towards Heaven.It leaves far below all thought of demerit,And swifter than bird soars from this planet.
It flashes on wings of speed and of strength,
And gathers material of no earthly bent.
And weaves from the dreams and desires of all men
The rainbows of promise to give comfort to them.
Far below men may struggle, locked in dull agony,
Strive to be free by physical strengths,
But above their endeavours, doomed so often to naught,
Soars the mind in release to work God's supreme cause.

INGERSOLL
For Military purposes Canada isdivided into eleven districts.No. 1 District comprises theeleven counties of South-westernOntario, namely: Bruce, Elgin,Essex, Huron, Kent, Lambton, Middlesex, Oxford, Perth, Waterloo,Wellington.
It is the smallest, most compact
district of the eleven. It is one of
the most thickly-settled Military
District No. 3, with Toronto as its
headquarters, and Military District
No. 4, with Montreal as it centre,
may show a greater population, but
in proportion to area, -Military Dis
trict No. 1 is easily the most popu
lous.
Moreover, from the standpoint of
recruits for Canada’s Army, M.D.
1 is one of the most productive dis
tricts in the Dominion.
In this war, as in the last, M.D, 1
has a record of which to be proud.
Figures to the end of 1941 show
that M.D. 1 has contributed a total
of 22,338 recruits to the Active
Army. This is apart from Navy and
Air Force enlistments. In addition
M.D. 1 has a Reserve Army strength
of approximately 12,000 men.
About, 15,000 have received military
training under the N.R.M.A.
Let’s take a look at the geograph
ical layout of M.D. 1. Bounded on
the south by Lake Erie, on the west
by Lake Huron and Lake SL Clair,
and on the north by Georgian Bay,
and watered by a fine network of
rivers and streams, this section of
Ontario is naturally one of the rich
est agricultural areas in the Domin
ion. It is also an important centre of
industry, including many vital war
plants.
While M.D. 1 contains no metro
polis such as Toronto, Montreal or
Winnipeg, it boasts ten thriving
cities, including London with more
than 77,000 people and Windsor
with upwards of 100,000 in city
and environs. The other cities are
Kitchener, Chatham, Stratford,
Woodstock, St Thomas, Sarnia,
Guelph and Gaik There are 77
towns and villages in the eleven
counties in M.D. 1, where newspap
ers are established, a record among
the military districts of Canada.
As one of the oldest-settled parts
of the country, with a high percen
tage of native-born citizens of Brit
ish slock, it is natural that patriot
ism should attain a high standard in
M.D. 1, as reflected in enlistment
figures as well as in Victory Loan
and War Savings campaign. It is
conceded, too, that M.D. 1 has
been fortunate in the calibre of its
military leaders and is regarded as
a model with respect to co-operaU
ing in nation wide military projects
and all undertakings connected with
the war effort.
The first two months, of 1942 pro
vided typical examples of the driv
ing force furnished by M.D. 1 for
Canada’s war program. In quick
succession came a district-wide re
cruiting campaign, the Canadian
Army Train and a District mechan
ized convoy. The first had a promin
ent role in boosting the number of
Activt Service recruits close to the
1000-mark for January, while the
The regular monthly meeting of

of the height of clearance; from the
County Clerk .forwarding requisi
tion for $13604.54 for current year;
and from the Department of Muni

County Engineer
Addressed Meeting
J. N. Meathrell of Ingersoll,
Oxford County engineer, addressed
the 15th annual conference on road
improvement, held in London, on
Thursday last. The subject of Mr.
Meathrell’s addreee was “Winter
Maintenance.” The Warden of Ox
ford County. Alvin McKay, was
aho one of the speakers, addressing
the aftaroiwti nasion of the eon
vention. *
stimulus of train and convoy wereof noteworthy significance in theDistrict’s fine showing in the Victory Loan Campaign. In February,too, the Canadian Fusiliers (City ofLondon Regiment), was mobilizedas an Active Service Unit, to befollowed early in March by mobilization of the Scots Fusiliers withheadquarters at Kitchener, and theOxford Rifles at Woodstock.Just what does Military DistrictNo. 1 comprise? First, its headquarters is located in the City of London. Headed by Brigadier D. J. MacDonald D.S.O., M.C., District Officer Commanding, its staff consists
of about 35 senior and junior offi
cers, engaged in widely-diversified
branches of the service but all com
bining in the common effort of pro
viding the requisite leadership for
military activities throughout the
district.
The branches include Supply and
Transport, Engineers, Paymaster,
Medical, Intelligence, Audit, Auxil
iary Services, Records, Dental,zProvost, Chaplain, Reserve Unit Of
ficers and Women’s Army Cofps.
Then there arc numerous General
Staff Officers and the A. A. and Q.
M.G. Branch (Assistant Adjutant
and Quarter-Master General.)
District Headquarters, located in
the Old Customs building on Rich
mond Street and overflowing into
offices on the opposite side of the
street, is really the hub around
which the wheel of military activity
in M.D. 1 turns. Its spokes radiate
out into the district, connecting it
with District Depots, Military Train
ing Centres, Active and Reserve
Army Units, and keeping it in close
touch with a maze of associated mil
itary affairs.
Some of the outstanding compon
ent parts of M.D. 1 may be sum
marized as follows: No. 1 District
Depot at Wolseley Barracks on
Carling Heights, where the majority
of Active recruits in the district arc
enlisted and trained for a few
weeks before going to Basic Train
ing Centres, and No. 1 District De
pot (Windsor Detachment) which
performs a similar function in the
Windsor area; the three Basic Train
ing Centres at Kitchener, Chajhanj,
and Guelph, through which some
15,000 active and “R” recruits have
already passed; the Central Mechan
ization Depot and the Mechanics’
Training Centre at London, two
vitally important links in the pro
gram of building Canada’s mechan
ized army; the Woodstock Advan
ced Driving • and Maintenance
School, unique in Canada, where
skilled drivers and maintenance ex
perts from units across Canada re
ceive advanced training; the Ford,
Chrysler, and General Motors Army
Trades Schools in Windsor, which
are serving a somewhat similar pur
pose; the Bennett Barracks at Lis-
towel, where the Canadian Fusiliers
(A) are housed; the Polish recruit
ing depot at Windsor and the Neth
erlands training centre at Strat
ford,
This summary does not take into
account the summer training camps
in the Thames Valley for Reserve
units nor the London military hospi
tals which are performing a notable
work. Nor does it elaborate upon
such institutions as the Active Ser;
vice Club in London, where hun
dreds of soldiers, sailors and airmen
come daily for relaxation and en
tertainment For this institution the

Committee, headed by prominentLondoners, is- largely responsible.It has its counterpart in every cityand town throughout the District,where various auxiliary organizations are doing noble work.But this resume will suffice to indicate that Military District No. 1is ably upholding its right to Number One position in Canada’s military organization. It is setting apace which if matched by the othermilitary districts will produce maximum results for Canada’s war program.NORTH OXFORD COUNCIL

“There is no nationwide, system
atic aproach towards maintaining
the health of men on the industrial
Tront,” declared Victor Heiser, M.
D-, Consultant for the National
Association of Manufacturers, writ
ing in the current issue of Survey
Graphic. And though Dr. Heiser’s
remarks are addressed particularly
I in reference to the situation in the
United States, they apply with equal
force to the existing situation in
Canada.
“Whether a worker is able to
stay on the assembly line is largely
considered to be his own concern, or
at the most the concern of his em
ployer,’ continues the Doctor. “It is,
of course, very much the concern of
both. Nonetheless, as we see all too
clearly in wartime, the misfortune
of the worker who must lose pay for
two weeks because of an attack of
the flu or an injured hand, the mis
fortune of his employer whose pro
duction declines, is the misfortune
of the nation, which is losing time.
The Galup Poll has estimated that
the time lost from war industries or
war connected industries because of
illness in December could have built
two heavy cruisers, 448 medium
bofhbera, or 3,200 light tanks, 1 do
not believe that we can set up a
nationwide industrial health program
as integrated as that of the army,
but we ought to expect the utmost
co-operation on the part of the em
ployer, the employee, and govern
ment to see that everything possible
is done to reach maximum fitness in
the industrial ranks.”
Dr. Heiser then points out that
many of the health hazards in de
fense work are old hazards, benzol,
radium, cutting oils that cause skin
eruptions; and these hazards are al
ready being dealt with. Fatique,
however, he names the Fifth Col
umnist, and illness off the job,
which amounted for 23,000,000
man-days lost last December in the
U.S.A.
The tragedy of our situation to
day," continue* Dr. Heiser, "is
that we know definitely how our
morbidity rates ean be reduced, but
we do not seem to be able to apply
our knowledge. Today we. know
enough about the importance df nu-
triton to be able to say that the
number of planes, guns, tanks that
come out of the Nation’s plant* is
determined largely by what the na-
tion’s workers put in their stomach*.
The speed of a machine depends on
the quality of the fuel used; the
speed of a factory depends on the
diet of the men on the assembly
line,"
