The Ingersoll Lions Club held a Ladies’ Night on the occasion of their regular meeting Tuesday evening of last week at the St. Charles Hotel Coffee Shop. About seventy were in attendance and the gathering was honoured by n visit of four Past Presidents, of the St. Catharines Lions Club, who repre­ sented District Governor Howard Sandham, a member of their club who was unable to pay his official visit because of illness. These guests were Barclay D. Hull, chairman of the Lions British Child War Vic­ tims Fund; Charles H. Mitchell, Sec­ retary of the Fund; Thomas H. Wiley, a Past District Governor and Past International Director and Ray Horton, the immediate past presi­ dent of the St. Catharines Club. The president of the Ingctsoll Lions Club, John E.

Borland, wife of the president graciously replied, after which the ladies joined in singing, “For They Are Jolly Good Fellows.” ■A lovely bouquet of spring flowers was presented to Mrs. Borland by Mrs. Fred Bigham, as a remem­ brance from the club members. Lion Fred Bigham led the com­ munity singing during the evening and Lion Jack Morgan presided at the piano. Lion Barclay Hull, addressed the gathering, outlining the work that had already been done by the Lions Clubs of Canada in sponsoring the Lions British Child War Victims Fund. He pointed out that $44,700 had already been raised through the efforts of the Lions Clubs of Canada and this had been cabled to England to the Waifs and Strays Society who now have 6300 children under their care in Britain. It was pointed out that $120.00 a year will pro­ vide for the keep and maintenance of one child orphaned, neglected or motherless taken from the bombed areas of Britain. The speaker stated that it was the objective of the Lions Clubs to raise one thousand pounds a month through the Lions British Child War Victims Fund to send to the Waifs and Strays Society, Ingersoll Lions Club who contri­ buted $100.00 to this fund in 1041, voted a further donation of $50.00 after hearing Mr. Hull’s appeal. The thanks of the gathering were tendered the speaker by Lion Wil­ frid S. Ashman. A penny sale was conducted to the amusement of all present by Lions Joseph W. Churchouse and J. Ferris David and it was arranged that every lady won a prize. A program of entertainment that included vocal numbers by Miss Freda Hooper and readings by Miss Dora M. Harrison was greatly enjoyed. Following the program dancing and cards were enjoyed by a num­ ber of the members and their lad­ ies. The event was a most successful undertaking in every way and those responsible for its planning are de­ sen ing of the congratulations of their fellow club members. Presentation Made To Mr. and Mr*.

During the course of his address, Mr. Whaley outlined the workings of the law and pointed out that what might be a crime in one coun­ try might not be considered a crime in another country or at another time in the history of the same country.

THURSDAY, APRIL 23rd, 1942 The Plebiscite Next Monday is “Plebiscite Day", and every Can­ adian voter has been informed that it is his privilege to exercise his right of ballot. The polls will be open on April 27th from 8 in the morning until 8 in the evening, Daylight Saving Time. While lists of voters have been prepared, it is im­ portant to remember that they are “open” lists—that is, in either urban or rural polling divisions, any quali­ fied voter whose name has been omitted may vote on polling day in his polling division by taking the re­ quired oath and being vouched for by a voter whose name appears on the list of voters for such polling division. If a person so omitted lives in an urban polling division, he must produce his National Regis­ tration Certificate as well as take an oath. Generally speaking, every person over 21 years of age, resident in Canada during the last 12 months nnd resident in his or her polling district as at March 30th last, can vote. Every Canadian on active service or in training in any of His Majesty’s forces or corps, within or with­ out Canada, is entitled to vote on the Plebiscite in advance of polling day. The Plebiscite is a direct vote of all the voters in Canada on an important question to ascertain the views of the Canadian people on the following ques­ tion: “Are you in favour of releasing the Government from any obligation arising out of any past commit­ ments restricting the methods of raising men for military service?” All Good Canadians Will Vote April 27th ''The Plebiscite Committee for a “Yes" vote are anxious to have every citizen exercise his or her franchise on April 27th. Herr Hitler will have his eye on Canada on Monday next The vote if suc­ cessful will give the Federal Government a free hand for a total war effort. It is not necessary to try to solve the question of the Plebiscite, but it is nec­ essary that we give an overwhelming “’Yes" vote. This is Canada's war. We are fighting for our existence. Wherever Soldiers, Sailors and Airmen are fighting, they are fighting Canada's battle. We cannot allow these boys to be let down. We must support them. This is the common people’s war. The people of Britain have found it so. The people have died rather, than become Hitler’s slaves. Arc not the common people of Canada as strong and brave as they? This is a war for freedom. For hundreds of years our forefathers have enjoyed freedom of thought, freedom of the press, freedom of worship. Shall we not support the love of freedom possessed by the soul? We must work and sacrifice for these freedoms. If we should fail in our vote, we shall hear Hitler's raucous voice again, jubilant because Canadians re­ fuse to give the government a free hand. How will you exercise your franchise? Lessons in Thrift The thrift enforced upon Canadians by the de­ mands of the war may seem drastic in comparison with the careless spending of pre-war days; in fact1 they would have said a few years ago that they could not possibly save for their own purposes as much as the income and national defence taxes are now taking from them in the course of a year. From this generalization one must except those of Scottish descent. A former bank manager relates a story of the period before the last war, when Can­ adian banks were bringing out young boya from Scotland to work as clerks. One capable lad was sent to him as a junior in a Montreal branch. The manager had no fault to find with the boy’s work. He was quick, intelligent and obliging. In fact it was not unYil the end of the boy's first year with the branch that the manager found anything that needed looking into. What he then discovered was that the young clerk had a savings account, and on a salary of $600 a year had managed to save $500. The manager couldn't discover any evidence that the boy had been gambling, and the branch's cash was in perfect order. Baffled, he called the boy be- jfore him, and after a few indirect questions that elicited no pertinent information, asked him bluntly how he managed to live on $100 a year. The eterk grinned. “Ah, sir,” he said, “I see now why you’re asking me these questions. Here's the way of it When I came to Canada, my father gave me enough clothes to last me a year. Then I got myself a room a few streets away from the bank, ao I have no tram fares. Th*- room's over a shop, and I keep the owner's books for him in the eveaing, so I get the room free. Then there's a street light just outside my window, so I'm at no expense for light. In fact, sir, if it hadn't been for my good appetite, I'd have saved the whole six hundred "—The Printed Word. •>THE INGERSOLL.TRIBUNE, THURSDAY, APRIL 23, 1942LOOKING BACK 25 YEARSFrom the Files of The Oxford Tribune,Ingersoll, Canada, Thursday, April 26, 1917Daniel Murphy was in Woodstock Tuesday evening.Geo. iHocnscheid was visiting friends in .

Logg BRITISH INDUSTRIES— From Robert WilliamsonMan does not need to -wait fordeath to arrive in Heaven. He isthere, living on earth in Heaven,if he would bring himself to see itthat way. A man who swims inthe ocean from some little cove onthe coast, is still in the same oceanthat extends to‘ all parts of theearth. It Isn’t called just ocean;each point is known by some precisename, but that doesn’t make it anyless-the ocean. He himself sees itonly as water surrounding a point of land and it is the land that is im­ portant to him, the place to which he rightly belongs. So with this earth and this heaven. We stick to our point of land, the earth, ven­ turing at times into a delectable sea of heaven, of which the earth is apart, just as the point of land that thrusts itself into the ocean and the ocean itself are both parts of this planet I admit that the earth doesn't appear very heaven-like at times, but that* is because wc have polluted it. Wc have desecrated a once lovely bit of heaven until we have turned it into hell, but it is heaven nevertheless, as we shall one day know, when we have rid ourselves of the pollution that stagnates and renders offensive the once crystal clear waters of the universal Heav­ en. True, we may not venture, far into the sea of Heaven any more than man can venture to swim far from land, but given the means, the ships and planes, he is able to visit dis­ tant lands, commune with different peoples, and that, I presume, is what we do when, released from the re­ strictions imposed on us as earth­ dwellers, we are free to travel the ocean of Heaven. We no longer are bound by the habits of the flesh, but, freed from them, wc are able to live in the rarefied atmosphere of another sphere. Where and how and -under what conditions, we may not yet know, but the fact that we do continue-is the promise of Chris­ tianity particularly, but the promise of all faith collectively. To think otherwise, to assume that- life on earth has any other meaning than to be a preparation for more extensive living is as foolish as to suppose a great sculptor would create a lovely work of art, for the sole purpose of destroying it. Such a man we'd call mad and to assume that the earth and the creatures thereon were formed for the sole joy of destroying them, is to put the Creator in the same category. Are we to suppose He is less sane than the man who treasures the works of his own hand or the father who loves his children? Most of us, and almost all the time, feel we are a long way from Heaven, but a mother who has re­ ceived her first-born into her arms doesn't think so. She has realized heaven and knows it as close as the bnbe on her breast. Neither does the lover of nature, looking down on a panorama of great natural beauty, feel far from removed from things celestial. He knows that in that beauty he is seeing heaven, as surely as he will one day see further extensions of it. Ravings of a mind unbalanced? Not a bit of it. Heaven is where you find it, as is beauty, but only as we see the possibility of making this earth heaven shall we ever succeed in rescuing our own bit of heaven, this earth, from the hell we some times make it. BEFORE YOU INSURE Confederation Life Associa tion B. GRANT SMALL IHCIUOU. 20,000 MORE SILOSTwenty thousand silos for cattlefodder is the latest contribution ofBritain's concrete makers to the wareffort. They are ntfw at work uponthis colossal contract.Farmers all over Britain have al-ready put up silos; manufacturersof preserves are following suit withsilos to rtore their waste materialsand turn them into feeding stuffsto relieve the strain on the Empire’s shipping. To-day more concrete is being used on Britain’s farms than ever before. Buildings in it, from barns to poultry houses, are being run up, and it is being used for water tanks, fence-posts, flooring, cattle troughs, guards and stalls, as well as asbestos cement for roofing sheds, rabbit hutches and even buckets. The concrete industry is also helping the/war effort with aerodrome run- wdys, some of which need 60,000 sq. yds. of material at a time, and thousands of concrete huts are being set up for the Service departments and for the housing of war workers and the homeless. Ail constructional repair work on railway and water tunnels is carried out in concrete, sometimes with complete pre-cast arches. Cellars of damaged houses have been con­ creted nnd made into water storage tanks. Concrete railway sleepers and pit props for coal mines are re­ placing important timbers. Hollow concrete blocks are being used not only for building but for air raid protection. The upper works of ships have also been given concrete protection, and, following upon the construction of 100 concrete barges by the Admir­ alty. the first ocean-going liner of 2,000 tons deadweight has been suc­ cessfully launched. .Machine gun posts, air raid shel­ ters, oil storage tanks, defence bar­ riers, telegraph poles, groynes, buoys and sinkers for moorings and even anchors are all being made of copcrete for the war. THE FACTS OF LONG LIFE COMMANDOS’ KNIVES Eighty-year-old swordmaker Tom Beasley, who forged his first blade as a child of eight during the Franco- Prussian war of 1870, is working 10 1-2 hours a day helping to am Britain against her enemies. Since war began he has lost only half-an- hour of working time—when his clock stopped one morning. But to-day the skill Tom put into the sword presented to Queen Vic­ toria by the Indian Princes on her Diamond Jubilee is being used to show younger men how to forge the deadly black knives used by Britain’s Commandos and parachute troops. These knives, worn in a leather scabbard attached to the leg, have an interesting history. Of the fin­ est sword steel, they were designed by Superintendents Fairbairn and Sykes of the Shanghai Police, who put their “rough house" experience to good accounts by teaching Bri­ tain’s shock troops the art of swift and silent killing. But the pattern is really much older, for, in 1686, troops fighting at Bayonne thrust sueh daggers as these into the muz­ zles of their flintlock muskets—and gave the world the first bayonet. The factory where Tom Beasley has worked for 50 years normally turns out not only the Ijpst swords but the finest hollow ground razor blade in the world. Founded in 1772 as gunmakers, they started making swords in 1832 and throat . razors in 1890,.. .....w...h...i.l-e tenyears later they were one of the first steel forgers to take up the safety razor, which in peace time they send all over the world. Their swords go to the military and police forces in the Empire, South America, Abyss- inia, Egypt and other countries, but war has put an end to this. Now the company make the com­ mando knives and scabbard*,*rmour- Piereing shot for anti-tank guns and an automatic fire extinguisher, the Graviner, which is installed in every British warplane. Organised for war effort, the fac­ tory has doubled its staffs—now SO per cent, women—and quadrupledite output. BUTTERFLY FARM Even butterfly farming is being developed to help on Britain’a war effort. To protect this year's tomato epop from the White Fly pen, a grven butterfly farm in Kent Here the pret will be introduced in order to breed it* parasite, * tiny ichneumon fly Tomato l««»u covered with no A'0”cOi\ n Shop- White Fly eggs, carefully infected, .will then be distributed among tom- ato growers to safeguard the crops of this valuable contribution to the country’s food supply. The butterfly farm is also send­ ing out batches of eggs of the Win­ ter moth to test the value of fruit tree sprays. Last year it bred hun­ dreds of yellow butterflies to help Sir Frederick Gowland Hopkins the octogenarian scientist, in hi? ex­ periments to find a cure for pernic­ ious anaemia. The scales were removed front the wings and the yellow pigment ex­ tracted. Should it be practicable to manufacture a similar composition, the result will have an important bearing upon the treatment of the disease. < BRITAIN'S DEAF AND DUMB Deaf and dumb people in Britain, and the adults among them number 40,000 to-day, are now being taken into war work for which their in­ firmity makes them more suitable than men and women who can hear and speak. One group of them is working steadily in the shot-blasting sector of a Midlands factory producing shells. Here the din is so terrific, that few of the ordinary workers can stand it. The deaf and dumb, un­ aware of the inferno of noise around them, placidly concentrate upon the finishing and polishing of the insides of shell cases. In another factory the shot- blast­ ing process is carried out in sound­ proof cabinets which to some extent deaden the din but the deaf and dumb, in a kind of protective ar­ mour, continue to be employed on the job. They are excellent work­ ers: in a third factory young deaf and dumb women are painting shell cases as quickly by hand as would others using mechanical sprayers. The deaf and dumb are also found to be specially useful for war work demanding a keen sense of touch or sight, and in most cases their sight is exceptional. A group of them— girls—are being trained, for example, as examiners of lietron thread at Fort Dunlop. “The very keen pride,”the^Iational Institute for the Deaf points' out, “of sueh workers a* these girls in finding that their help is needed by their country in it» hour of danger can well be ima­ gined.” DISTINCTLY.

OTHIK 'WUTIMl TIUPHOU TACTICS USE OFF-PEAR b—* ** y * THE INGERSOLL TRIBUNE, THURSDAY, APRIL 23, 1942 Page 3OTTAWAWEEK BY WEEK— by Dean W’taon —SALFORDCLOSER CO-ORDINATIONS OFEFFORTS^It is indicated along ParliamentHill that, as a result of discussionsbetween the leaders of the warefforts in both the United Spatesand Canada, there is a certainly ofan increase in co-ordination betweenthe two nations' efforts in every re­spect, including joint solutions for certain problems affecting the two countries such as joint coastal de­ fences, closer co-operation in many phases of war production, in the ex­ change of man-power where this is possible, and a greater degree of mutual application of regulations on restrictions, particularly in met­ als, gasoline, rubber, and other es­ sential articles. Moreover, it is ex­ pected that both Canada and the United States will gradually help one another in all measures aimed to curb the inflationary spiral when there is a similarity of such tenden­ cies in either or both countries. MANY DRAFTEES IN ACTIVE SERVICE About thirty, per cent of the draftees of the three services go active and about 20 per cent in the army. This has been disclosed in the nation’s capital by the Minister of National Defence, Hon. J. L. Ralston.. Facilities for handling the trainees have been greatly increased and they will be expanded more and more in time. Although origin­ ally it was felt in Ottawa that about 10,000 a month were all that could be accommodated, arrangements have been made now to take 13,000 to 14,000 with present signs show­ ing that soon camps will handle 15,000 a month. At the moment, there are 50,000 to 60,000 trainees in the Canadian camps. CONCENTRATED FOODS A high authority of the Govern­ ment has stated that it js advisable that Canada should increase the pro­ duction of concentrated foods as far as possible. It is meant by concen­ trated foods such articles as bacon products, meat products, dairy pro­ ducts, and as far as possible, can­ ned fruits and vegetable substances. I- is in the light of such facts that the Government has reached certain decisions on policies in regard to food problems, though it is empha­ sized that war makes new demands and creates new situations from day to day, almost from hour to hour. THE TAXPAYER AND "TOTAL" WAR From the intricate and tense sit- ution as it exists at present along I*arliament Hill, it is not difficult for an experienced observer to en­ vision why the average Canadian taxpayer, the long-suffering little ^ran, cannot find answers to many addles contained, in the headline •on national affairs as this nation moves more and more into the status of “total" war, particularly when it is remembered that as the tempo of the effort increases so does the staggering cost. The tremendous expenditures in­ volved in "toul'’ war are already so high that there is no doubt that the little man, who represents the great masses of this nation, is puzzled be­ yond expression by the maze of figures and zeros in the nation’s complicated balance sheet, with the deepening crista likely to bring such perplexed figures of costa that wil not only bewilder the taxpayers but they will probably bring homo the fiscal problems of this war as never before, if they will understand at all the kind of load that they will have to carry until victory is won. In other words, though their income is going up steadily, yet the amount that they will have to pay in taxes will mean a direct reduct­ ion more and more in the living standards that they have engaged up to the present stage of thta war or of the savings that they norm­ ally would be able to put aside out of . such earnings, with all luxuries gradually becoming only memories and many supposedly indispensablenecessities being sacrificed by self­denial or by compulsion.This observer must report that itcannot be denied that universal suf-fage has made masters of the mass­es in Canada’s democratic system.Likewise, it must be admitted at thesame time that quite often in thepast their ignorance of the principles of proper economics or gullibility has made them easy victims of de­ signing politicians, soap box ora­ tors, or professional agitators. How­ ever, to-day, in the stress of war conditions, there is no such lack of vision on the pdrt of the leaders on Parliament Hill who recognize the great danger involved in any pos­ sibility of discontentment of uni­ formed masses. Indeed, recently some progress has been made in ed­ ucating the masses to a better un­ derstanding of the ecoiwmic situa­ tion confronting the people of Can­ ada in this war. This is the reason for the many hints or forewarnigs given in the- nation's capital from time to time that "total" war must imply sooner or later almost unbelievable, unpre­ cedented, and unforeseen expendi­ tures by the Canadian taxpayer, though some politicians may keep away from mentioning such a poss­ ibility as they w’ould from a plague because they fear that it would be unpopular. They still think in terms of peace-time political strategy.Out of an estimated total'national income of about $6,500,000,000 this year, Canada must pay at least about $2,000,000,000 for this coun­ try's own Avar programme, $1,000,- 000,000 for Britain’s account and $454,884,365 for carrying the ordin­ ary non-war activities of the Fed­ eral Government. Moreover, since the start of this war, war saving cer­ tificates have brought in well over $100,000,000 and there have been four domestic loans, the first produ­ cing about $250,000,000, the second about $324,945,000, the third, $836,000,000, and the fourth over $900,000,000, aggregating $2,311,- 766,000 in ail Then again, the Gov­ ernment has planned to carry on this war on a "pay-as-you-go” pol­ icy, to avoid inflation evils by main­ taining a price-ceiling policy, where the limits on prices and profits es-' tablish limits on possible taxation sources or diminish taxation reser- voires, especially through more and more restrictions on the sale of many everyday articles and to follow a policy of raising one half by taxes and the other half by bor- I rowing from the people or domestic loans. It is true that these facts are amazing! They should cause the taxpayers to pause and to ponder. But they should not believe that the important point U that gradually their assets will melt, thaw, and resolve themselves into a dew dur­ ing this war. The important point is that victory must ’be won at any cost and the Government is resolved to do so under all conditions. It is a question only how the burden can be distributed fairly, honestly and equally amongst the masses in all sections of Canada. Of course, it is the duty of everyone to buy Gov­ ernment bonds or invest in war saving certificates but it must be realized that eventually the people themselves must pay off these bonds, when these bonds mature, the Gov­ ernment which is spending the pro­ ceeds of these bonds on the war must simply tax the people a suffi­ cient sum to retire them. Therefore, it means that the taxpayers must be prepared to accept the forthcoming tax bilks, definitely likely to be un­ precedented in their proportions, as unavoidable acta on the part of the Government as thta nation moves into a status of "total” war. The people must be prepared to adjust their lives to the new conditions al­ ready existing and to those which will come shortly, much of which cannot be foreseen at th* moment even by the leaders along Parlia­ ment Hill where they do predict that what has happened in Canada up to now ta only the beginning, with many more personal sacrifices and many more economic restrict­ ions bound to follow, though an ex­ tremely careful check ta being kept of all war expenditures by the same committee as last year. Thta is in tune with the popularity of in­ quiries right now in Ottawa, such as the inquiries into the operations of the Wheat Board, the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, the »y stem of canteen funds, vocational training, and problems of recon­ struction. It ta apparent that the whois drift of governmental activities is toward The Red Cross will pack boxes forboys overseas on May 1st.

We must deal with conditions as they confront for the Government not, dealing with conscription for overseas service,as in its judgment the present serious conditions warrant. cheer the hearts of tie brave men who have already volunteered and are now overseas defending, not only our shores, but also our liberty and all that we hold dear, including the sanctity of our homes. A “No” vote upon the plebiscite will rejoice the heart of Hitler and bring great comfort to our enemies. Let us, therefore, cast aside all prejudice and look upon it as asacred duty to our King and country that every available vote be polled.

REGULAR MEETINGOF TOWN COUNCILThe Town Council held its regu­lar meeting in the council chamberon Monday evening, with Mayor Dr.J. G. Murray presiding and allmembers in attendance.There were no communicationsand committee reports mainly recom­mended the payment of accounts.The Finance Committee passed acredit of $5000.00 to the Board ofEducation and $400.00 to the Lib­rary Board. The Market Committeeapproved the rebate of Town Hall rentals paid by the Oxford Game and Fisheries organization and the British Israel Society. In the report of the Fire, Water and Light Com­ mittee the following clause was in­ cluded, ‘That because of Sidney Underwood’s untiring efforts in looking after the municipal gifts of pen and pencil sets'to our boys over­ seas, he is retained in this capacity, and that a note of thanks be ex­ tended to him for his work to date.’’ It was moved by Councillor Stan­ ley J. Smith and seconded by Coun­ cillor Kenneth R. Daniel that “This Council urge its citizens to express their opinion at ■ the polls on the forthcoming plebiscite, April 27th, 1942 and an advertisement be ■placed in the local press asking the public’s co-operation,” was unani­ mously approved after the matter had been introduced by Councillor Harry T. Bower who said he would like to see the council do all in its power to have a big vote cast on Monday next, April 27th. Councillor Smith referred to the fact that he gave notice of motion at the last meeting that he would introduce a by-law to have a fact- finding committee appointed to in­ vestigate the police situation in Ing­ ersoll, but he had been advised by the town solicitor that the council had no power to name such a com­ mittee and any investigation would have to be done by the Attorney General’s department or by asking the County Judge to conduct the same. Councillor Smith said he had been accused by the Chief of Police of having tipped off local bootleg­ gers that they might be raided and wished to make an explanation of the situation. He declared that the Chief had ’ been right in his state­ ment, as after talking to a local rev­ erend gentleman last week he had made it a point to visit two places within a stone's throw of the Post Office and tell them that if they were selling liquor they had better put a stop to it as those days were over and they need not be surprised if the Provincial Police paid them a visit. At the request of Councillor Thomas J. Morrison, the council adjourned to enable the mayor and members of the police committee to meet When council resumed, Coun­ cillor Morrison reviewed the police situation since Constables Holmes and Cowan tendered their resigna­ tions last December and the differ­ ences that had arisen between cer­ tain members of the council and the police. He commended Councillor Preston for his sincerity in trying to deal with the situation and said that while many things had hap­ pened that perhaps should not have occurred he believed the whole affair was trivial to the importance of other things that should occupy the attention of the council when the country was at war. He de­ clared that he was trying to find a solution to the difficulties and ap­ pealed to all concerned to get to­ gether and forget what had passed. He asked Mayor Murray if he would be willing to drop the matter and make a statement on the- situa­ tion. His Worship said, that he was sorry for everything that had hap­ pened and he was willing to shake hands with the .other members of the council and police and forget it all. He also added that he was sorry for making the suspensions and issuing the summonses. ^Constable Gowan said he held no animosity to anyone, but he did not think it necessary to shake hands. Chief Callander said he was willing to do his test and asked the co-op­ eration cf the police committee and the council. Constable Holmes waa called in and he said. “1 am agreeable if everybody else is, I never .had any­ thing against the Chief Constable or any member of the council.” Councillor Preston said, "I eould say Y*e! and I eould say, No!, for if the matter bad been settled a* I wanted it to be at the first we would not have had ail this trouble and publicity." He added that he hoped Dr. Murray was sorry? fo the sua- Guy Lombardo and his Royal Canadians have generously donat­ ed their services for the gala dance to be held in the London Arena on April 30th.

A motion by Councillors Smith and Daniel, “That he council would deeply appreciate it if the mayor would rescind his suspensions of Constables Holmes and Cowan and grant them their salaries for the time they were so suspended.

Fred Steele of the Training Centre at Newmarket, Ontario, is spending a two-weeks’ furlough at his home in Ingersoll. Simpson had been an abstainer for 20 years, but fell from the ways of £race. Feeling the need of recuper­ ation, he sent the boy for a bottle of whiskey. “But,” . said the hotel proprietor, “who’s it for?” “For father,” said the boy. “Nonsense! Your father’s been a teetotaler for longer years than you’ve lived." “Well, at all events, he sent fot it.” “I’ll let you into a secret," said the boy, “He’s going fiishing, and he wants the cork for a float.” This is a story about three fastid­ ious epicures who tried a strange restaurant. “My steak must be very well done,” the first one told the waiter. "See that it is almost burned-" "Mine," said the second, ‘should be rare.”. "The steak you prepare for me,” said the third, “may be medium well done,, but tell the chef to be very careful to rub it lightly with garlic just before it is cooked.” The waiter went out into the kit­ chen. “Joe,” he told the cook, “three steaks.” A young Canadian girl, a resi­ dent of Kingston, Ontario, while Aisiting some friends in England de­ sired to send a cable home, and hav­ ing written it out, handed it to a clerk in a cable office. The clerk appeared to be rather worried about it, and after consulting Various re­ ference books, said to the girl: “I can find Kingston-in-Hull and King­ ston-on-Thames, but I cannot locate Kingston-on-Tario.” EVERY VOTER i .

"Yes. I intended to stay at theClub most of the evening, and sincethe wound had stopped bleedingthrough Dr. Morris' ministrations,J preferred not to be incon­venienced with an awkward band­age.

After much discussion the fol­lowing resolutions were passed to ElJery Queen “One moment, Mr. DeWitt,” interrupted Lyman blandly, "was thereany other reason for refusing to have your finger bandaged?" I left the Club and took a cab tothe ferry ..."Bruno was on his feet, protestingto the testimony as "irrelevant andimmaterial.” and demanding thatit be stricken off the record.Lyman said: "Your Honor, thedefendant's testimony is impor­tant in building up a defense whichwill prove his innocence." Judge Grimm overruled the Dis­trict Attorney's objection, motion­ing Lyman to continue. But Lymanturned to Bruno and said: "Yourwitness."Bruno scowled, then rose and forfifteen minutes badgered DeWitt,attemptipg to shake his story andbring out facte relating to Long­ street To these Lyman inexorablyobjected and was sustained.

Dr. Morris said: “He could nothave done what you have just de­scribed without opening thewound." With a smile of triumph Lyman said: “You may cross-examine, Mr.Bruno."

Joint Radio Forums Study “Education” and “Co-operation” A joint meeting of the Dereham and West Oxford Township Farm Radio Forums was held in the ML Elgin United Church, on Monday, April 13th, to complete the winter series of discussions on rural prob­ lems. Mr. James Hurd was chairman of the evening. Rev. R. B. Cumming of Salford, conducted a sing song of appropriate farmer's songs. The visiting forums were welcomed by the chairman. The first speaker was Mr. B. A. Campbell of Milton,,sec­ retary of the School Trustees and Ratepayers’ Association, who spoke on the "Larger Unit of School Ad­ ministration.” This unit consists of two or more school sections enter­ ing into an agreement to work to­ gether for their mutual advantage. When the Township Council approve of the plan a board of five trustees are elected in the same manner as the council itself and nt the same time, which replaces the local trus- _tee> There is no remuneration except mileage for meetings, ten of which are held during the school year. The board assumes all responsibility for the conduct of the schools, teachers, courses, curriculum, with the approval of the Inspector and the Department. The plan is past | the experimental stage for there are 130 such units in Ontario function­ ing with great success to the edu­ cation of the boy’s and girls of rural areas. Under this system it is poss­ ible to provide for specialized teachers in various departments in­ cluding manual training, home ec­ onomics, music, etc., as well as taking advantage of the special ser­ vices offered by the various govern­ ment departments including agri­ culture, dental health, transporta­ tion, supplies and equipment, pro­ vision for deaf, blind pupils, and night schools.

Mr. Kenneth Marshall, manager of the Norwich Co-operative Society, spoke on “Co-operative Business.” The principles of co-operation were outlined and discussed; 1, One member each vote, irres-, pective of capital invested; 2, Both capital and labour shall receive a fair wage; 3, Profits arc returned to those who create them in propor­ tion to their purchases. A reserve fund is created; 4, Co-operation is a way of life as well as a way of doing business. There are no bar­ riers of race, creed, politics.

The Honourable Ian Macken­zie, Minister of Pensions and Na­tional Health, will appear in a mov­ ing-picture newsreel in Canadian theatres during the same week. Newspapers, radio, churches and schools will co-operate with health authorities to the end that no Can­ adian parent shall remain uniformed of the fact that he may play his part in the campaign. Diphtheria, uncontrolled, according to the Health League of Canada, is the greatest cause of death among children between the ages of two and five. There has been developed a preventive in the form of Toxoid. The process of preventing diphtheria is a simple one, not attended by any danger, nor any great inconvenience. Three inoculations of diphtheria Toxoid is all that is necessary. These inoculations are given at three week intervals, and a re-inforcing dose, after an interval of four or five years. If Toxoid were universally used, diphtheria would disappear from Canada. Citing the fact that despite the existence of a specific preventive th<-re have been 8,742 cases of diph- tkt "in and 982 deaths in the last three years of record, the Health League of Canada calls attention to the increased seriousness of the problem and asks the co-operation of every citizen to spread the mes­ sage to parents that Toxoid is the only sure way of safeguarding the lives of Canada’s children against the ravages of diphtheria. TOO LATE (This is a True Story) The family Jived some distance from the town on a farm of fifty acres in a somewhat isolated dis­ trict. The river ran close by and the five happy children enjoyed the swimming and fishing in the sum- mer, as well as the sleighing and skating in the crisp winter months. Father and Mother worked hard, early and late, to provide food and clothing for the little ones, so full of life and vigour, and to some ex­ tent an educatioin was being given each one as they came along. Suddenly two of the children de­ veloped sore throats and the mother, not knowing it to be other than or­ dinary’ colds with sore glands, treat­ ed them just as most mothers would do in out of the way places where doctors are seldom seen, except in case* of severe illness. Mother tried to keep the kiddies comfortable and warm, thinking th .' time and tender care would cure all, but her kind ministrations did not seem effective. The boy and girl of ten and twelve years grew jjeadily worn« and the other child- ren were now sick also.

Pearce (Lieut.)London, Ont.—A general call tothe colours of the Reserve Army isheralded with the announcement thatthroughout Military District No. 1the period from April 20th to 30th isbeing set aside 'for a distrjet-widerecruiting campaign to bring theReserve Army unite up to fullstrength.The co-operation of newspapers,radio stations, service clubs,churches and patriotic organizationsof all kinds in the eleven counties ofWestern Ontario is being pledgedfor the purpose of emphasizing the vital role of the Reserve Army in the defence of Canada and of urging every able-bodied man in the Dis­ trict to fit himself for service to his country in the event of a national emergency, which may well develop as a resit of grave developments in the Pacific theatre of war. Announcement of the Reserve Army drivc coincides with formation of the new Reserve Brigade Group, which will form the spearhead or shock troops of the Reserve Army in M.D. 1, as in other Districts across Canada, Officer Commanding the 31st Reserve Infantry Brigade Group, which comprises four in­ fantry battalions and necessary an­ cillary’ troops, is Colonel W. G. Hag- arty, D.S.O., who has had a long and distinguished career of military service in Canada’s armed forces. His appointment is indicative of the importance attached to the Reserve Army by National Defence Head­ quarters. At present he is busily en­ gaged in setting up Brigade Head­ quarters as well as in directing the launching of the new campaign for recruits. Asked about the streamlining of the Reserve Army and the urgent call for recruits, Colonel Hagarty summarized the situation in these words: "We are in the midst of a serious 'military crisis, Canada requires every available able-bodied man to assist in defence of this country. The Reserve Army offers the opportun­ ity to those who are too young or too old to serve in the Active Army, to fit themselves for service to Can­ ada in the event of a national emergency which may well come at any time now." “The drive for Reserve Army re- cruite will not interfere in any way with the raising of men for the Active Army. The men whom we are seeking are those not required for enlistment in the Active Army, "We are not asking them to give up their civilian jobs to become full- time soldiers, but simply to make the sacrifice of a small portion of their time to learn the rudiments of soldiering so that they may be equip­ ped to defend their country in case of need. It will involve at most one or two evenings a week, 15 days in camp and a total of 10 days' in week­ end exercises.” “Many of the men wanted now by the Reserve Army will be found among those who were too young for the last war and are too old now for active service in this war,” com­ mented Colonel Hagarty. “These men now have an opportunity to make a definite contribution to-their country's defence. Many men in Mrs. Dugald McGregorIs Laid To RestThe funeral of Catherine Pagedearly beloved wife of Dugald Mc­Gregor was held from the familyresidence 143 Carroll Street ’ onThursday afternoon, April 16 th.Service was conducted at the houseat 2.30 o’clock by Rev. Dr. H. H.Turner, minister of St. Paul’s Pres­byterian Church and Rev. R. A.Facey, assistant minister of TrinityUnited Church. .The service wasvery largely attended and therewere many beautiful floral tributestestifying to the esteem in whichdeceased was held by her wide cir­cle of friends. Interment was made in the Ingersoll Rural Cemetery. The pall bearers were Messrs. John Wilkie, W. B. Murray, Joseph Balfour, Alex. McMurray, John Adams and Thos. Fairbanks. was sent for, but it'was TOO LATE, for when he arrived the two children had already died. He made a hasty examination and found that diph­ theria was the cause. Further examination disclosed the | fact that the other children were ’ already’ in an advanced stage of the disease and, in less than a week all five were buried side by side in the little cemetery a few miles away. Kindly neighbors did everything possible to lighten the terrible blow, but the fifty acre farm with its beautiful rolling hills, the forest and winding river, at once became as desolate to the parents as the most forsaken place the world eveiknew. Where so much life, happiness and expectancy existed just a few weeks before, 'sadness beyond human ex­ pression now reigned supreme. sThis all happened prior to Toxoid or Antitoxin. Toxoid treatments such ns are now being freely provided by medical health authorities to tens of thousands of children, would have completely avoided this terribly tragic Story; And yet, well-meaning folk, either through ignorance or stupidity’, still obstruct the advance of preventive methods, as they did in regard to vaccination against smallpox. Parente everywhere should follow the counsil of the most outstanding medical authorities in the world to­ day by making sure that their child­ ren are safeguarded against diph­ theria through toxoid treatments. The Health League of Canada is determined that every child in Can­ ada shall be given Toxoid treatment and thereby protected against what was once the great plague of child­ hood. The week of April 19th was to be devoted by health authorities throughout Canada to the prevent­ ion of diphtheria. All citizens are urged to give the matter their ser­ ious attention with a view to immun- izing all children over six months of age against this entirely prevent­ able disease.

Galpin, 138A Thames Street,Ingersoll, was united in marriage toFrank George Making, only son ofMr. and Mrs. George Making, 11Martha Street, Ingersoll. Rev.George A. McLean, minister of theIngersoll Baptist Church officiated.The young bride was lovely in astreet-length frock of dusty rosegeorgette, made with shirred torso bodice and an off-the-face hat with blue veil. She wore the groom’s gift, n gold locket and carried a bouquet of Briarcliffe roses and for­ get-me-nots tied with blue ribbon. Miss Helen Miriam Galpin, was her sister’s attendant, wearing a becom­ ing 'afternoon dress of heaven blue crepe with a matching hat of the same material. Her bouquet was of Talisman roses tied with gold rib­ bon. Kenneth McCreery of Ingersoll, was the groomsman. The groom's sister, Miss Edith Making played the wedding music, “When song is sweet,” "O Promise Me” and during the signing of the register, “Because,” Mr. and Mrs, Making left by motor on a wedding trip to Niagara Falls, Toronto and pointe cast and upon their return will make their home in Ingersoll. For travelling the bride donned a smart teal -blue tail­ ored suit and rose accessories. CULLODEN their late thirties and early forties who have found it impossible to join the Active Army because of family or business ties, can now db their part in defending their stake in Canada.” Under the new Reserve Army’reg­ ulations, recruits may be drawn from all men over 35 and under 50 years of age of any medical cate­ gory, 'A', ‘B’, or ‘C, while men from 19 to 35 may be taken if of ‘C’ category, inasmuch as they arc not eligible for the Active forces. Married men from 30 to 35 of what­ ever medical category are also eli­ gible for the Reserve. Then there are the boys of 17 and 18 who are too young for the Active Army but who arc being encouraged to join the reserve. They will receive pre­ liminary training designed to enable them to take their places later as trained reinforcements for overseas. Forming the first-string line of the Reserve Army in M.D. 1 will be the 31st Reserve Infantry Brigade Group, which is being organized 5,000 strong to take the field as a self-contained unit, complete with artillery, engineers, signals, army service corps, medical corps and ord­ nance. Each unit in the group will have its own staff of instructors and the whole will be under the direction of the Brigade Staff at Headquar­ ters. Modern equipment, including weapons and training vehicles, has been promised to the Brigade Group and these will likewise be made available as needed to other Reserve Army unite. As Officer Commanding the Bri­ gade Group, Colonel Hagarty stress­ es that its units will not be called out for guard duty nor to protect public utilities such as power in­ sulations in the Niagara Distrct, “It is not intended lightly to call out this force, but only in the event of grave national emergency,” he de­ clared. In conclusion he branded as, false the conception that the Reserve Army was a place in which to hide. “We intend to make the Reserve Army a powerful instrument for the defence of Canada. Already it ha* furnished thousands of trained men for the active forces in Canada and overseas. By bringing up the Reserve unite to full strength now, we will not only be ensuring the adequate defence of our shores but such a step will release many fit men for service overseas where the enemy must be engaged and defeated. Membership in the Reserve Army is something of which every man can be proud. He will have the sati> faction of knowing that he is taking his proper place in his country's de­ fence at a critical hour in ita hla-lory.” “Moreover, it is hoped that the Reserve unite will enjoy the whole- hearted support of their communi­ ties, which too often ia the past ha* been lacking. Only thu* ean ths morale and esprit de corps of the Reserve Army be built up and main­ tained " BUTTER WRAPFERS FOR SALS AT THE TRIBUNE in the publicof St. Thomas.in Avon by the Rev.

In addition to the novelty of his advertis­ ing, he kept persistently at it: He said once: “Continuous advertising, like continuous work, is most effect­ ive. If there is any enter­ prise in the world that a quitter should leave alone, it is ad­ vertising. Advertising does not jerk, it pulls. It begins very gently at first but the pull is steady. It increases day by day, year after year, until it exert* an irresistible power. To discontinue your advertising is the same as taking down your sign. If you want to do busi­ ness, you must let the public know it I would as soon think of doing businem without clerks a* without advertising.” DOUGLAS for Furniture S.M. DOUGLAS * SONS KING ST. E.
