One of the most outstanding Par­ents’ Night ever held by No. 2 Ing­ersoll Troop, was that held last Fri­day evening in the Sunday Schoolhall of St. Paul’s Presbyterian Church. The Scouts and Cubs of the troop were hosts to their parents and also to a number of other friends. A most interesting and enjoyable program was presented during the evening. Rev. Dr. H. H. Turner, minister of St. Paul’s, welcomed the gathering and stated that the hall would be open to them for like gatherings in th© future. The feature of the program was the presentation of the cub flag and a Union Jack to the troop by the Ingersoll Kiwanis Club. Rev. R. H. Parr gave the oath of allegiance, explained the meaning of the flags and gave the dedicatory prayer. The presentation was made by S. L. Shelton, on behalf of the club. A “demonstration" of a regu­ lar Cub meeting and the presenta­ tion of two plays and a demonstra­ tion of First Aid by the Scout Troop, were greatly enjoyed. “Scottie” Fleming, district scout secretary, London, was a .guest at the meeting and gave a brief ad­ dress on Scouting. Mr. Fleming also took charge of the sAvice in which Jack Douglas was invested as Scout Master. Mr. Douglas replaces Lewis McComb, who resigned be­ cause of his inability to get time off for the meetings. The apprecia­ tion of the Scout executive is ex­ pressed to the retiring Scout Mas­ ter for his valued service during the past two years. The only two King's Scouts in the Thames Valley district, Wilson Mc- Beath and Donald Yule were intro­ duced to the gathering. These boyi earned this honour by their work in local scouting and received their awards in February of this year. At the close of the program, re­ freshments were served and a social time enjoyed by the gathering. Mrs. R.

The death of a well known and highly esteemed Dereharii Township resident in the person of Salem Ernest McKibbin, occurred suddenly on Saturday morning, April 25th, at his residence, Lot 25, Concession 3. The late Mr. McKibbin who was in his 70th year was bom near Langton in Walsingham Township, Norfolk County, and waa a son of the late William and Sarah McKib­ bin. For some years after leaving Langton he resided in the PorfcJiyj- well district but for upwards of twenty years had farmed near Ver- schoyle in Dereham Township, where he was most favorably known and had a wide circle of friends because of his willingness to always lend a helping hand to anyone in need. Although he had been in failing health for over a year, deceased had been around on Friday doing his usual chores. He was stricken with a heart seizure shortly after rising on Saturday morning from which he never rallied. He was a member of the Baptist Church.

Kewley, Wood­stock, Addressed ClubMembers At Regular Meet­ing Thursday Evening. The Ingersoll Kiwanis Club came of age last week and at the regular meeting on Thursday evening last at the Ingersoll Inn,, celebrated its 21st birthday. The club’s charier night meeting was held on April 21st> 1921 and it has had a most successful life. President Henry I. Stewart occupied the chair and F. Earl Johnston, a past District Lieut. Governor reviewed the history of the club and gave a list of the charter members who are at present members of the club. He cited some of the outstanding contribu­ tions made by the club to the com­ munity since it was first organized and pointed out that a complete history of the Ingersoll Kiwanis Club was in the course of prepar­ ation. A birthday cake with 21 candle*, was the centre of attraction follow­ ing the supper. This was cut and passed around. The guest speaker for the meeting was Rev. Arthur E. Kewley, minis­ ter of Central United Church, Woodstock, whose subject was “Re­ cruiting Opposition.” The speaker was introduced by Kiwanian J. Frank Fulton. Rev. Mr. Kewley reminded his hearers that the men in the armed forces of Canada to-day are fighting for exactly the same principles that were fought for over one hundred years ago and which established Canada in the position she now oc­ cupies. Kiwanian E. H. Albrough ex­ pressed the thanks of the Club to speaker for his fine address.

HOWARD YULE INTERVIEWED ONRADIO PROGRAM The radio program "Wings Abroad", was received by an in­ terested audience in Ingersoll late Saturday evening, when the feature of the program was an interview with Sergeant Observer Howard | Yule of Ingersoll, son of Mr. and Mrs. Alex. Yule, Thames street north. The interview although not long enough to present any detailed pic­ ture, gave thc listeners a thrilling glimpse into the type of "work that one of our R.C.A.F. men has been doing. Sgt. Observer Yule has seen service from stations in England, in Malta and in Egypt. He was attach­ ed to a squadron of the R.A.F. and told of taking part in some 38 oper­ ations. Of these on© of the most effective was a raid on the city of Naples when a large oil depot was set afire. His squadron was men­ tioned in dispatches for this exploit. The bombing of a vital canal was another operation which Sgt, Yule mentioned and it is known also that he took part in raids on Bengasi. During his two months in Malta there was an air raid every day. Some time ago Sgt. Yul© returned to England from the east, making the trip by boat. The trip required six weeks. At the present ho is serving as an instructor in England. Sgt. Yule attended both public school and collegiate here and is very well known. At the time of his enlistment in the R.C.A.F. he was a clerk in the Royal Bank at Wallace­ burg. He enlisted in June 1940, and went overseas the following Feb­ ruary. Mrs, C.

THURSDAY, APRIL 30th, 1942 Trucking Of Freight In Bond The first of many attempts which have been made to obtain the right to transport freight in bond be­ tween Detroit and Port Huron on the one hand and Buffalo, on the other was in February, 1936, to the Interstate Commerce Commission for a certificate of public convenience and necessity for the carriage of general freight in bond. After a hearing the application was dismissed. LatA in the same year application was made to the Ontario Municipal Board for a certificate of public conven­ ience and necessity to permit the transport of motor cars on specially constructed trucks, The Board re­ jected that application after an extensive hearing. In 1938 another application was made, the argu­ ment being put forth by the truckers being that it would provide added employment in Canada, would increase the revenues of the Province of Ontario, and would provide a shorter and more economical route between the points mentioned. It was also argued that such an operation would not increase competition for the railways and that the railways in opposing passage of the bill were standing in the way of progress. The bill was opposed by the Dom­ inion Government and was subsequently withdrawn. One of the recent attempts to justify the granting of this request was made upon the ground that such a service would provide a source of much needed United States funds. The applicants renewed their efforts upon the pre­ text that the operation was necessary to carry out the National Defence programme in the United States and to move war materials destined to Great Brit­ ain in pursuance of the United States policy of full aid and support to that country in the present war. Now that the United States has entered the war it is claimed that Canada by refusing to truck freight in bond between United States points through Can­ ada, is blocking the Allied war effort. It will thus be seen that over a considerable per­ iod of years the sponsors of this enterprise have urged their case before the Ontario Municipal Board, the Interstate Commerce Commission, a Committee of the Senate, and the Government of Canada, and have argued on every conceivable ground before these bodies who have the necessary power to act in the interests of this country and of the United States.One of the things which has been argued from the very beginning has been that the operation will not affect the railways of the United States or Can­ ada because the traffic it is proposed to move is al­ ready moying by truck to the south of Lake Erie. In opposing this matter, the railways point out they are much better equipped than any such oper­ ator could be to move war materials and to move them expeditiously in large volume. United States railways operating in Canada such as the Michigan Central and the Wabash, and the Canadian Railways such as the Canadian National and Canadian Pacific in competition with each other provide a frequent and expeditious service in Canada, and they do this in competition with rail, water, air and motor ve­ hicle services in the United States. All told there are few places in the world enjoying more transporta­ tion service than places within the area involved in this matter. Gardening In War Time A source of strength to the British people lies in the fact that they are a nation of gardeners. Neither bombs nor bombast can shake the faith of the gar­ dener. When affairs go wrong in Manila ,or Malaya, he has but to spend an hour pruning his dormant shrubs to reassure himself that periods of adversity are but the forerunner of great activity to be fol­ lowed in due course by the fruits of victory. There is no better antidote for “war jitters” than a se-sfcm with the garden spade. When the nenes have been frayed by too close attention to radio news broadcasts, it is heartening to discover that there are just a* many angle worms as ever in the garden soil—that buds are swelling, and seed* sprouting, j .'t as they did in peace time—that Mother Nature loses n<> time in covering the earth with beauty* again no matter how much devastation nun may cause. In th<. man who tills the soil the creative instinct >5 string, IL^thoughts run along constructive lines. No who tended a Japanese Maple or a Gold Banded Lily will be guilty of ch futile hysteria resulted in the destruction of several magnificent doublo-fi<»we»ing cherry trees just becau- they orig­ inated in Japan. On the contrary, ho will cherish these beautiful garden subject, as evidence that somewhere in Japan there is a seed bed from which a new and better nation may emerge after this world conflict is ever. There is an obvious reason why millions of people in Britain are planning to grow vegetables th s year. Vegetables will provide a much-needed addition to the food supply. However, it is encouraging to note that even in bomb-tom Britain the important func­ tion of oramentala in promoting national welfare i# rtill fully recognized. Already two prominent Brit­ ish firms have distributed 1942 catalogues Iwting a full line of flower seed*. To a people who keep their courage high, their judgement clear, and their faith strong by growing beautiful gardens, overwhelm­ ing victory and a just peace are aaeured.

His Excel­lency’s speech opened National Tox­oid Week, being held all over Can­ada this week by the Health Leagueof Canada in co-operation with fed­eral, provincial and municipal health departments. "Government departments can and do assist in large measure in attain­ ing this object, by means of re­ search carried out by scientists and by providing hospitals and clinics”, the Governor-General pointed out, "But without the additional help of the individual, your help and my help, it is absolutely impossible to obtain really successful results.” The Governor-General pointed out that where remedies existed for di*/ ease and where they were available, the responsibility rests with the par­ ent for their proper use. He con­ tinued: “It is for this reason that I am happy to have been given this oppor­ tunity of introducing Toxoid Week. To many of you Toxoid Week may not mean very much but I can assure you that it is of interest to all of you. It is of vital interest to parents of all young children. Let me explain briefly what it all means. One of the most dan­ gerous diseases with which we have had to deal is diphtheria. Last year there were as many as 2849 cases of diphtheria, in Canada. No less than 169 of these cases ended fatally in the first six months. Now diphtheria is an avoidable disease. If every child were immunized with injections of toxoid, which is a harm­ less product, diphtheria would be rapidly stamped out.” “In support of this statement, I will cite just one example,” His Ex­ cellency declared, "There is one city in Canada with a population of near­ ly 700,000. In 1895. when its pop­ ulation was only 177,000, there were 147 deaths from diphtheria?' If that rate had continued there would now be an annual death toll of over 700 due to diphtheria. But by 1940 toxoid had been discovered, and as a result of its application the occurrence and mortality of diph­ theria had been so reduced that in that year there was not a single case of diphtheria in the whole city. Now that is an amazing achievement. It was the result of a vigorous cam­ paign by the public health authori­ ties intended to bring home to par­ ents, teachers and others, the vital importance of having the children under their care inoculated with toxoid.” “What can be done in the mixed population of a great city can be done throughout the Dominion,’’ continued the Governor-General "so that in a short time diphtheria could be totally eliminated from among our people. It is not mere­ ly a question of providing facilities for inoculation and spreading pub­ licity on its benefit*. It is also essential that all those who have the care of young people should respond to that publicity and avail them­ selves of the arrangement* which health authorities will make for the free inoculation of toxoid. The least we can do is to safeguard them'fiom the preventiblc hazards which sur­ round them in their early years. Diphtheria is one of those hazards, but fortunately we possess a weapon which can utterly destroy it. Diph­ theria is a disease that strikes hard when it strikes. Let us use this weapon which science has put in our hands to strike back harder still, ruthlessly and immediately and continuously so that our people of the future will be freed from the menace of this foul disease." "I ask you to give thia matter your most urgent attention in the interests of your fellow countrymen and of the future welfare of Can­ ada,” the Governor-General con­ cluded- The annual meeting of the Methodist Ladies* Guild wa* held in the parlours with a fine attendance. The following officer* were elected: Honorary presi­ dent, Mr*. L W. Hill; president, Mra. J. G. Scott; 1st vice-president, Mr*. F. P. Leake; 2nd vice-pre­ sident, Mra. Stoneman; secretary, Mr*. G.

LETTERS OF THANKS RECEIVED BY COUNCIL Several letters have been received by the Town Council from Inger­ soll men on Active Service overseas, expressing appreciation for the gifts of pen and pencil sets. ' AC1 W. Gail Rine, Canadian R 90030, of the 408 Squadron of the R. C. A. F. writes, “The Town of Ingersoll’s gift of a beautiful Sheaf­ fer's pen and pencil set arrived to­ day, as a very' pleasant surprise. To everyone responsible for this lovely gift to me, thanks a hundred times. It is the most useful present one • could receive and I will always pride it. Your efforts to bring happiness to Ingersoll boys overseas will always be remembered.” Sergt. Claude Baynton, son of Mr. and Mrs. Nelson Baynton, 341 Thames street South, who is also with the R. C. A. F. overseas writes, “I send my thanks to the Town Council of Ingersoll for the splendid gift of the pen and pencil set. It was quite a welcome surprise when I called for my mail yesterday and found such a dandy gift”. your thoughtfulness in sending me alovely pen and pencil set. Becauseof the shortage of certain raw ma­terials, such things are almost un­obtainable, at the present time, inthis country, consequently, the gift,of the people of Ingersoll, came asa very pleasant surprise. In myown experience, I have found, asother Canadian boys, that many ofour small wants are taken care of byjust such gifts from home. It givesme a really warm feeling to find thatI am remembered to such an extentby my friends at home.” SAPPER K. WESTON SENDS THANKS FOR THE TRIBUNE Sapper K. Weston, No. A-35071, No. 1 Rd. Con. Coy., R. C. E., who is with the Canadian Army overseas wrote the following note of thanks to The Tribune: “I wish to take this opportunity to extend my appreciation for the copies of The Ingersoll Tribune, which I am now receiving regularly. One of the most important items to we chaps over here is news from the home town, and the most appro­ priate manner in which to receive that news is through the local Home- Town paper, consequently The Inger­ soll Tribune is deserving of much praise in that regard. The shortest way in which to de­ scribe the present activity here, would be to say that, we are toeing the line, and waiting patiently for the starter’s gun, which will leFTis go on that long awaited opportunity, to prove to a mad dictator, that the democracies of the world, shall never be ovdr run, so long as there are freedom-loving people to oppose such schemes. With your permission I should like to take this opportunity of ex­ tending thanks and appreciation to the Ingersoll Branch of the Cana­ dian Legion, the Ingersoll Kiwanis Club and the employees of the Mor­ row Screw and Nut Company Limit­ ed, for their regular gifts of cigar­ ettes. Once again I want to express my thanks for The Ingersoll Tribune which is indeed made welcome when it comes." SOY BEANS— by —J. C. Steckley, B.S.A.Director, Western OntarioExperimental Farm, Ridgetown Canada—R 116768, L. A. C. Wal­ ter S. Harvey of the 403 Squadron of the R.C.A.F. writes, “I would like to take this opportunity to thank you ever so much for the lovely pen and pencil set that you so kindly sent me. I must say it is wonderful how the people back home treat the boys over here. I am en­ joying myself immensely, having had the chance of visiting many histor­ ical as well as other interesting places. I also have had the pleas­ ure of looking up many relatives1 whom I have not seen since I was a little boy.” Sergt. Douglas Wolstenholme, (Can.), R 78607, son of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Wolstenholme, who is overseas with the R. C. A. F. in his letter writes, “Just a line, to let you know I received your very useful gift, the pen and pencil set. They are just the things we boys need, because of the letters we write to find out all the news. Even though we are a few miles away we are still very interested in our town. 1 am stationed in the middle of England, on a bomber squadron. My work is very interesting but at times very monotonous, because 1 am a “tail end charlie," or a straight air gun­ ner. Slowly I am contacting some of the Ingersoll boys, once in a while 1 run into one of them and we talk about home. Well I have been in this country 7 months and I like it fine, beautiful scenery and the people are very hospitable. Just one complaint, that’s the weather, but it is getting better or I’m get­ ting used to it” A letter from Sergt,. Pilot Doug­ las Wilson, son of Mr. and Mrs. A. C. Wilson, Charles Street East, writ­ ten on March 22nd from some where in Englan, says, “I would like to thank the people of Ingersoll for Imperial Oil Films Shown At Lions Club Many guests were in attendance at the regular meeting of the Inger­ soll Liens Club held on Tuesday evening in the St. Charles Hotel Cotfee Shop.

Lowes. Soy beans have been grown in On­tario for the past forty or fiftyyears. They have been used mostlyas a feed for livestock, as the pricefor soy beans for oil extraction wasnot sufficiently high to make it at­tractive to the farmers. Soy beansand Soy bean products have beenbrought to North America from the Orient. Since the present war has spread to Asia, these products are no longer available on this contin­ ent, consequently the price has risen so that soy beans have now become an attractive cash crop. Soy beans are needed at the present time to supply the necessary in­ gredients for the manufacture of munitions, as well as other necess­ ary articles. They, therefore, be­ come another product that the far­ mers of Ontario are asked to sup­ ply as a war necessity. The soy bean is an annual, legume plant that grows erect. It varies \ri height from one to five feet, accord­ ing to the variety, soil and climatic conditions. In Ontario the very early varieties are shorter than the later types. It has a tap root and the seed pods arevborne along the stalk from the tip to the ground. Soy beans grow and develop best in the grain corn growing areas of the province. They thrive on a wide range of soil, from the heavy clays to the sandy loams, and are more tolerant of acid conditions in the soil that most legumes. They re­ spond fairly well to applications of mineral fertilizers, particularly fol­ lowing a crop where heavy applica­ tions of thege fertilizers have been made the year previous. Soy beans aro one of the crops that do well on the same soil year after year. This is probably due to the build­ ing up of the nitro fixing forms of bacteria. They also respond well to nitro-culture, particularly on toils where they have not been grown previously. Where nitro-culture ’is not used, the same effect can be obtained by spreading some soil from a field that has grown soy beans in previous years. There are many varieties of'xo^ beans; the three leading ones in the Province of Ontario are Mandarin, O.A.C. 211 and A.K, They are all adapted to Southwestern Ontario. There is very little difference in the yield of these three varieties but they vary somewhat as to maturity. The A.K. is the latest of the three and is well suited to Essex and part of Kent County. If sown outside of this district, they should be planted early in order to mature properly. The Mandarin is not so strong a grower but yields well. In the com belt, if sown before the 10th of May, they wil ripen early enough to follow with the fall wheat clop in the fall. The O.A.C. 211 is about a week later in maturing than the Mandarin in Southwestern Ontario. pressing at the time In this way,they lend themselves to be harvestedwith a combine. There is some diffi­culty in saving the bottom podswith a combine but this is a difficul­ty that is present in any method ofharvesting. The binder will leave afew as welL The binder, or com­bine, notwithstanding this difficulty,are more satisfactory methods ofharvesting than any other at thepresent time. They save time andlabour and get away from gatheringup a lot of soil with the crop, ifthey are harvested with a beanpuller.Soy beans may be harvested with a bean mill. A regular grain thresher is apt to split a great many of the beans. If this machine is used, the cylinder speed should be reduced to about half of its regular rate. The other parts of the machine should operate at the normal speed. In ad­ dition, the teeth in the concave should be reduced to a single row or should be replaced altogether by wooden blanks. If the weather is wet at harvest­ ing time, considerable care should be taken as the soy beans might con­ tain. too high a percentage of mois­ ture to keep properly in storage. Soy beans that are harvested wet styiuld always be tested for germin­ ation before planting, as their vital­ ity may have been injured either by heavy frost or by heating in the bin. Soy beans are best planted - in rows; by sowing them in every fourth sprout of the grain drill, thus making the rows 28" apait, has proven a satisfactory method in most districta. 30 to 35 lbs. of Mandarin and A.K. varieties aro sufficient to sow an acre while it requires about 45 lbs. of O.A.C. 211- as these beans are somewhat larger in size. Soy beans are, by no means, a crop suitable for smothering weeds. They do best planted on a clean field. Harrowing after the crop is up, is a good practice and will tend to keep a lot of the annual weeds in check and will uvv * good deal of labour later on in the season. After the beans are well up, they should be cultivated in about the same way *s corn or the field bean crop. As the soy beans ripen the leaves fall off but they do not have to be harvested at once and may be left for a few weeks, if other work is James K. Sangster Passes At Chatham The death of James Kelman Sangster, a former resident of Ingersoll for nearly half a century, occurred in the Chatham General Hospital on Tuesday, April 21st.

WOMEN JOIN INDUSTRIAL PARADE The Mixing Bowl .................................The Cornstarch Dessert*Return to FavourHello Homemakers! If you arefeeling the pinch and trying tostretch your sugar quota, don’t for­ get that cornstarch desserts re­ quire less sugar—and every little saving counts. In these sterner days, too, we are turning again to the simpler foods and among these the cornstarch desserts are an old-time favourite.♦ • • So many delicious desserts can be made with cornstarch and fruit— and the fruit can serve as the only sweetner. Then too, cornstarch is an energy food ■ and has more flavour than flour—so we suggest that you use it oftener. With it, you can be sure of the just-right thick­ ening for pie and cake- fillings, and you can even use it for a cake in­ gredient. Of course, you will need it for the moulding of those sweet dishes that are so tempting when served in stemmed glasses or turned but on dessert plates, and those frozen dishes that every one admires and enjoys. You can make a bril­ liantly clear sauce with it—or even a meatv sauce. Eggs may be omitted in many recipes if cornstarch is substituted as a thickening agent. Delicious desserts with cornstarch are good at any time but especially acceptable for Spring meals.« • • Here are some suggestions that will help you to make more and bet­ ter desserts with cornstarch: 1. Measure the cornstarch and liquid accurately. 2. Mix cornstarch with an equal amount of cold liquid before adding hot liquid, blending together thor­ oughly. 3. Stir the hot liquid gradually into the cornstarch and sugar, rather than adding the cornstarch mi xture to the hot liquid. J. Stir constantly until thick— then cook until no raw* flavour re­ mains. Cover and cook on the re­ tained heat when electric element is turned ofl[. 1 5. In order to retain the aroma, acid fruit juices or flavouring should be added after cornstarch is cooked.

"Well, our train doesn’t leave un­til 12:13,” he said cheerfully, andstepped to the ticket-window.Ahearn grasped DeWitt’s arm. "Here, John, let me.’’ DeWittchuckled, and said to the clerk:“Six single-trip tickets to West En­glewood, please,""There are seven of us. John,”protested Ahearn."I know, but I have a fifty-tripbook." Then he said dryly: "I sup­pose 1 should sue the State for the value of my old trip-book.

DeWitt suddenlyleft Collins and returned to histhree companions.The broker put his hand into hisupper left vest-pocket, took out thesix single tickets, leaving the new trip-book In the pocket, and gavethem to Ahearn. "Here you are,I don’t know how long this pest willtake. Conductor will get me later."DeWitt retraced his steps towhere Collins stood In an attitudeot dejection.

Brooks strode up the aislewith Lane. “Come along, Ahearn."They went to the rear door oftheir car, There was no one onthe platform. They looked at eachother as Lane went over and peeredthrough the glass into the dim rearcar. It was evidently an extra coach being hauled to the end otthe line for an early morning rush.His jaw hardened, and he said dis­tinctly: "I am going in here, gen­tlemen. Mr. Brooks, will you pleasehold the door open?

This is indicated in Ottawa. The Government of Canada has certain rights under patent laws. It can make use of any patent by providing . compensation to the owner. It can force a person other than the owner to make the article. It can exercise its rights under the Defence of Canada Regulations so that any patent must be kept se­ cret. In other words, the alleged situation in the United States where the Standard Oil is said to have sold to a German cartel its rights for its patent process for synthetic/ rubber, docs not involve a similar situation in Canada since patent laws are quite different. BEEF SITUATION BEING WATCHED It is pointe'd out in the nation’s capital that the present condition of the beef market, which hns been described as a "famine" con­ dition, particularly in certain localities, is due to definite causes and there is no mystery about it. There is an abnormal demand for beef now on account of increased purchasing power in this nation and the export of pork overseas and large orders for training centers. Then again, Canada had sought for years to develop a good market for livestock across the line in the United States and now about 52,000 head go there in every quarterly period. Although the beef condi­ tion is being watched carefully by officials in the nation’s capital, ye^, outside of suggestions that the people eat less beef and more other meat products, no drastic embargo on the export of C-nadian cattle, nor drastic rationing is likely to materialize immediately in any wav' that may affect adversely future markets for Canadian livestock. PLEASURE DRIVING TO BE ELIMINATED Until the sinking of oil tankers becomes a thing of the past or the manufacturing of synthetic rubber a thing of the present instead of the future, there is every sign along Parliament Hill that pleasure driving of automobiles is going out for the duration of the war and the present rationing of gasoline may be considered to be "generous” in comparison with the contem­ plated revision of ‘’categories.” PREMIER KING’S PILGRIMAGE In face of all the other news featured in the headlines, yet a vet­ eran observer who gets a close-up of the latest doings along Parliament Hill, must state subvoce that Prem­ ier King's latest and rather surpris­ ingly sudden consultation with Pre­ sident Roosevelt in the White House in Washington had succeeded in in­ fusing a notion that it is really a sign and token of the wider and ’wider interests or action* which Canada is bound to take in this war in future. It must be stressed that, when Premier King and President Roose­ velt talk over matters heart to heart and face to face, there are always recorded some outstanding historic agreements not only for this country and her great next door neighbour, but beneficial re­ sults for all mankind are writ large for the whole world to read, though generally these are accom­ plished without oratorical flourish or complicated intrusions of official diplomacy. Apart from their Anglo- Saxon heritage and their many years of blessed peace and cordial friend­ ship on either side of the border, these leaders recognize that this planet the earth, has shrunk in size through the wonders of science un­ til now every democratic nation on earth must ge together to fight in this war on one side or another for the same common purposes. This means that Pan-American sentiment is growing in North, Cen­ tral and South America and alto­ gether the Western Hemisphere is on the high road to unanimity of purpose, even if the man-in- the street throughout Canada has not grasped the fact in the alarums of war.

A variedmusical programme was appreciatedby all. Two instrumental selectionswere presented by members of theBoys' Band, Don. Parr, JimmieMiller and Don. Petrie. David Bowesrendered a vocal solo, “White Cliffsof Dover,” assisted by Miss MaryCrowley at the piano. Dr. Reg.Rogers led the sing song. This irius- ical portion was thoroughly en­ joyed. Two new members were inducted into the club, Art Reeverf and Ger­ ald Pirie. Y’sman Byron Swayze of the London Club carried out the in­ duction ceremony. Mr. Swayze also gave a short talk on the challenges brought forth in the induction ceremony. The meas­ ure of a Y’sman is the breadth of his horizon. This term horizon may be defined as the limit of one’s men­ tal vision, experience or interest. To truly measure a man we must think of his assumption of responsi­ bility and duty in matters pertain­ ing to the club, municipal life, national affairs and church life. He must possess a sympathy for his fellow man, a zeal to make the world a better place in which to live; he must be unselfish or possess a broad mental horizon; he must have a deep understanding of life and a picture of the kind of world' in which we want to live after ibis war. The speaker gave as examples of this type of man, Sir Geo. Williams, the founder of the Y.M.C.A. move­ ment and Dr. John R. Mott, the greatest Christian in this world to­ day. In closing Mr. Swayze re­ minded his audience to acknow­ ledge the duty that accompanies every right and be Y’smen of broad vision. Bill Torney, also of the London Club, gave a summary of the high­ lights of the International Conven­ tion to be held in London next August. The founder of Y’sdom. Paul Wm. Alexander, will be pre­ sent, also the international presi­ dent, George Keidal.

Y’sman George re-1 greatest historical importance andit will produce rejoicings in theNew World as well as growing night­mares for the fuming dictators be­fore the echoes of continental un­animity have scarcely died away.As it may be recalled, the Inter­American Conference which washeld in Rio de Janeiro, the capitalof Brazil, at the beginning of thisyear, saw only the objections oftwo nations, Argentina and Chile, prevent the adoption of a unani­ mous resolution of the 21 republics of the New World that aimed to break off all diplomatic and trade relations with the Axis Powers, Ger­ many, Italy and Japan. However, after much effort, the representative of the United States, Assistant Sec­ retary of State, Sumner Welles, succeeded in obtaining the adoption of a compromise resolution that al­ lowed each nation to sever its rela­ tions with the Axis Powers. This lack of unanimity as re­ vealed in the failure of the original resolution produced great happiness in Berlin, Tokyo, and Rome. It was openly interpreted as n great vic­ tory for the Axis Powers. But the great happiness was premature! Within a week of the closing of the Inter-American Conference in Rio de Janeiro, the candidate for president of Chile, who had aroused the suspicion that he favoured the Axis Powers, was utterly defeated, aad the candidate, who was an open enemy of the Axis Powers, was elected by a huge majority. Now there is no doubt that Chile will line up with the other republics in this struggle. Likewise, Argentina is coming around to this view of unanimity. In fact, Argentina is arresting subver­ sive agents of the Axis Powers who have been active there for the last 8-9 years and this is indicative of the new trend in that republic since that nation and Chile prevented un­ animity of purpose in the Rio de Janeiro Conference It is appar­ ent that the vast majority of the people there is in full sympathy with the democracies and opposed bitter­ ly to the dictators. There arc a great many Germans in that big republic, but many of them hate Nazism. Indeed, many of them are descendants of those Germ who left their Fatherland after unsuccessful revolution of 1848 later when Bismark enforced the anti-socialism laws. Other Gen came to that republic after H eanie into power in Germany. Only a small minority of the Germans in that big republic is sympathetic to the Nazis, but it is well organized and disciplined. With the backing of the Government of the Third Reich, these subversive elements have been able up’ to now to ter­ rorize the other Germans and to spread their nefarious propaganda amongst the masses. However, it must be born in mind that liberal­ ism is stronger in Argentina than in all other Latin American republics. There is an excellent trade-unionism movement and a strong socialist party, which has six representatives in parliament and a big, influential daily newspaper in Buenos Aites. Moreover, a socialistic member of parliament is secretary of the par­ liamentary commission which is in­ vestigating the activities of subver­ sive elements in Argentina. There­ fore, it is certain that sooner or later Argentina will act in full ac­ cord with the other democracies. AU the nations of the New World are slowly but surely moving rnto a line of thought, expression, or action in striking parallel to that first initiated actively by Canada in the Western Hemisphere at the start of this war, and these nations are now gradually forming a unanimous front against the Axis Powers. It ia a momentous development. This 18 not merely verbiage or phrase­ ology. In other words, in the sev­ enty-five year* that have passed since Confederation was born, no leader's trips across the border have been so productive of such direct and indirect results a* that of Pre­ mier King’s pilgrimage- to Wash­ ington, though their practi^l and exact significance in world affairs will only be properly surmised in future.— (Reproduction prohibited.)

BRITISH INDUSTRIES— From Robert Williamson —EVERY THREE SECONDSArmy great coats use up fortymiles of cloth and lining a week ina single Leeds factory where onegarment is completed every threeseconds. This workshop and anotherwhich has turned out 320,000 battle­dresses a week are using everyweek enough cotton to go threetimes round the Equator. These are only two of the 250 tailoring firms who were given the largest single clothing order ever placed—for 5,000,000 battledress blouses and 6,000,000 trousers. That meant 9,000 miles of cloth, absorb­ ing 10,000 tons of wool; 9,000 miles of lining, and .200,000,000 brass buttons. A week later, 1,150,000 Army great coats were ordered, calling for 7,000,000 yards of the heavy milled waterproofed cloth specially produced for the purpose by the Yorkshire mills, who blend six different colours of wool to make make the perfect khaki; In six months the overcoats produced from Yorkshire cloth would have provided 25 years’ supply in normal times. These huge mass-producing fac­ tories can undertake gigantic con­ tracts like half a million battledress­ es or overcoats because they are equipped with the most modern of labour-saving machines and in peace time produce huge quantities of men’s suits and coats. Little ad­ aption is required to turn the mach­ ines over to war production, which includes not only the standard Army uniform but tropical kit of drill for troops serving overseas, heavy woollen goods in Royal Navy and Air Force blue, as well bs slacks, tunics and skirts for the girls on gun sites and bomber stations.

OF FRUIT To increase the war supply of fresh vegetables, people in Britain are trying out hydroponics, or the science of growing plants in water containing chemical food. Several experiments have been carried out by British scientists with various systems of water cul­ ture. One method is to suspend the iplants in a wire tray over a tank I containing the nutrient solution, into which the roots drop. In other systems which have yielded good re­ sults plants are grown in sand, gravel or clean cinders to which the nutrient solution is applied. The simplest method of all is the "hand-watering” system which re­ quires no special equipment All that is needed is a barrel for the nutrient solution, administered by an ordinary water-can in measured doses to plants grown in pure washed sand in pots or well-drained I beds. Numerous experiments both out of doors and under glass have been made with this method, and with- the right' technique no diffi­ culty has been found in getting from 8 to 10 lbs. of tomatoes per plant. Equally satisfactory yields of carrots, turnips, potatoes, lettuce, and other crops have been oblained- Jt is now simple enough to sup­ ply the right amount of plant food, and any intelligent gardener can prepare nutrient solutions either from pure chemicals or from fertil­ izers and high-grade commercial salts, provided he keeps exactly to the quantities specified for each mixture. • • • | THEY CAN DRINK UP THEIR SWIMMING POOL Towns whose water .supply is threatened by enemy action have been given a novel lead by the en­ terprising Thames-side borough of Erilh in Kent. Erith has turned its swimming pool into a first rate emergency water reservoir for more than 200,- 000 people. Normally the borough draws its water from the vast network of London’s Metropolitan Water Board, but recently the local auth­ ority thought, it prudent to make a survey of all available secondary rfplks. They found 14 deep well* in the district Eight were used for indus­ trial purposes only, one for both drinking and industry, one for pub­ lic bathing at th* Counci’s swim­ ming pool, and four were aban­doned. Although the water from three of the deep wtlh was found to be suitable for drinking, and could in any emerg^hey be worked by Na­ tional Fire Service pumps the most prolific source proved to be the swimming pool of 70,009 gallons. The well wrving it yields 20,000 This year we arc being treated,and probably by the time this ap­pears, it should read, we have beentreated, to an advanced showing ofof what the well-dressed Springworld will wear. Spring styles innature never change and yet howvery satisfactory they are. Whowould wish to change them? Whobut delights in this re-robing of adebutante earth? Always the same pattern is followed; the same eager pushing forth of new life in tender greenness, the same urge among, winged ones to build and recreate, an urge that gives voice in exubcr- ent song to captivate the ear of mere man who, poor repressed crea­ ture of circumstance and usage that he must needs limit the expression of his fervent joy in some such in­ ane and wholly inadequate phrase as "lovely weather.” In spite of all that man can do to ruin the earth, in spite of the asin­ ine dictates of would-be-world rul-z ers, in spite of the millions whose one aim is to put an end to the lives of other millions, the yearly pag­ eant continues, costing man, for whom it is arranged, no moment of thought, no penny of his greedily accumulated wealth. It just conies and asks only to be enjoyed, as all things in nature enjoy it, spontane­ ously and whole-heartedly. The birds in fresh apparel of a myriad tones of grey and brown, gayly don a bib and tucker of blue or scarlet or red, and lead the sym­ phony of sound that accompanies the swift and silent panorama of growth. The frogs perform their never ending tremulo obligato and a rooster here and there gives forth his clarion call in triumphant dis­ dain of the efforts of less strident songsters, while the waters, released from the icy clutch of winter’s fingers, ripple and trill, as, in gay abandon, they throw themselves over pebbles and rocks, and play­ fully splash, with gurgling laughter, around the gnarled roots of sedate and stately poplars or gracefully bending willows that paddle their feet in the cool, sustaining watCTK- Blue skies again are reflected in mirroring waters and black birds are ebony streaks etched in flight on a blue backdrop or are outlined clear as they perch high on the still bare branches of the poplars. Blue birds are a delight in subtle con­ trast as they fly from green grass to the tenderer, yellower green of newly leafed trees, and the cardinal, that most flamboyant of birds, is almost as startlingly vivid against the new green as he was all winter Jong against the whiteness of snow. His voice, insistently dominent, has been a constant note of encourage­ ment during a winter of war. He seems to say, "I'm here. I’m here, listen to me. Take no alarm. Things will come out right.” He now plays the brave trumpet of the Spring's musical symphony and plays it right well. Gloria in excelsis, in colour and in song. Glory and joy and beauty in a world gone wrong. Why can we not strive and per­ sist until this spiteful force that produces a world of infinite beauty, enters and wholly dominates the mind of man, to produce a like beauty in his character? When it does, and only when it does, shall we be rid of all the horrors that man has thrust on his own helpless world. YOUR SCRAP RUBBERii now a vital wa t m atetialEnemy action in the Far East has caused such an acute shortage of rubber thatour whole war effort is in serious danger. Canada and her Allies m ust haverubber, quickly, for the armed forces, for factories, for ships. The Japanesecontrol our source of crude rubber imports—the only other quickly availablesupply is old scrap rubber, which can be reclaimed. Every citizen in Canada must do his part in collecting all the scrap rubber in the country and turning it over to the Government for war purposes. Here is how to do it. THIS IS AN URGENT APPEAL FOR TOUR HELP Question z la the rubber situation reallyserioui? Answer: The shortage of rubber is so gravethat any citizen hoarding rubber or using it unnecessarily is committing an act of disloyalty. It is now illegal to destroy any rubber article. Question: Of what use is reclaimed rubber? Answer: Old rubber is processed so that therubber content is reclaimed. This reclaimedrubber is used in the manufacture of essentialarticles for our war effort, thus replacing crude rubber. Question: How much scrap rubber is needed? Answer: Fifty Million Pounds. This is alarge quantity, but it MUST be found. Everyold piece of rubber in Canada, no matter howsmall, is needed, QUICKLY. Question: Should I turn in any uaab/o rubber articles as well as worn out ones ? Answer: Absolutely not 1 By no meansdiscard anything that is still useful and thatmight have to be replaced. On the other hand,rubber tires used as boat bumpers, swings, etc.,should be turned in for war uses. HOW DO I TURN IN The school boys and girls of Canada are being organized, through the schoolauthorities, to act as Official Collectors of Scrap Rubber. The school nearest you is, therefore, your best Collection Depot. You may dispose of your scrap rubber in any one of the following four ways: Question: What-kind of scrap rubber is needed? Answer: Every all-rubber or part-rubberarticle must be salvaged. Here arc a few of thearticles you must turn in: Old Tires of every land RubbersOld Inner Tubes OvershoesRubber Boots, Hats, Coats. Aprons. Pants,Gloves, Tubing. Matting, ToysSport Shoes (crepe soles are especially good)Garden Hose Hot Water Bottles Stair Treads Bathing Caps and many other articles Question: What happens to the scrap rubber collected? Answer: The scrap is sorted, baled and as­ sembled into carload lots and is then purchased by the Government at fized prices throughout Canada. The Government pays forwardingtransportation charges on these carload lota, andis responsible for their allocation. You may besure that every pound will be used directly orindirectly in the war effort. Question: How do I go about saving scraprubber? Answer: Start hunting for it TODAY. Cleanout your cellars, attics, garages and sheds rightaway. You will find more rubber articles thanyou expect. Start them all on their way to thebattlefront. MT SCRAP RUBBER? 1. Give it to the children for their schoolcollection. 2. Give it to your local National Salvage Com­mittee. .3. Leave it with any Service Station or Tire Dealer where you see the sign; "Voluntary Scrap Rubber Receiving Depot." 4. Sell it to a junk collector. When you gather up your scrap rubber and dispose of. it by one of thesemethods, it will be used by the Government for Canada's War Effort. Do it NOW!

TORONTO Thia advertisement is issued in co-operation withThe National Salvage Campaign, Department of National War Services from retirement with the others. He i is Mr. R. C. Antrobus who organised [ the jewellery trade for war work in I the last war. It was Mr. Antrobus i who, in 1930, offered £40,000 for I gallons of water an hour, and a to­ tal of 17,000 gallons of chlorinated water an hour can now be served from the three existing stand pumps. From this one source, therefore, 408,000 gallons of water can be had for drinking every 24 hours, with 70,000 gallons always in re­ serve. Allowing 2 gallons per head per day Erith’s swimming pool would therefore serve a population of 204,000. QUEEN VICTORIA’S JEWELLERY MAKERS Craftsmen who made beautifully worked diamond brooches, bracelets and other examples of fine jewell­ ery for the Court of Queen Vic­ toria are among those who have come back from retirement to their benches in London workshops to add their skill to Britain’s war effort. They are now fashioning delicate parts for aeroplanes, tanks, ships, torpedoes and bombs, as well aa surgical and precision instruments. Some of them are as old as 80; in one workshop alone there are a* many as 30 expert craftsmen be­ tween the ages of 60 and 80. At least one principal has returned the famous Napoleon necklace which the Emperor Napoleon I presented to the Empress Marie Louise on the birth of their son, the King of Rome, in 1811. When he retired some years ago, Mr. Antrobus was head of the firm which five generations of his family have directed but he too is now back at the bench with his men.

Wil f o r d INGERSOLL which he ia justifiably proud.The Depot was started in July,1940, in the outbuildings of Lon­don’s Fairgrounds, with a staff oftwo Officers and five civilians, trulya small beginning for this now gi­gantic enterprise. Until that timeCanadian motor car companies,while producing large numbers oftrucks for direct shipment overseas,were limited in their output of ve­hicles for use in Canada. Besides,there was always the possibility ofconfusion due-to the diversity ofthe source whence the many com­ponent parts of military vehicles were supplied. The general idea was that London,, being midway be­ tween Windsor and Oshawa and close to many other cities in West­ ern Ontario where factories were already turning out parts, would be the ideal location for an assembly plant. Today the Central Mechanization Depot is housed in one of the most modern and spacious buildings in Canada’s industrial war machine. Where once you could count its stuff on the fingers of two hands, it /now employs between, two and three hundred manually and cler­ ically skilled tradesmen. They in­ clude motor mechanics, welders, sheet metal workers, blacksmiths and woodworkers, as well as accoun­ tants, technical storemen and spare part clerks. The Depot’s functions have under­ gone many changes from the orig­ inal conception. It is no longer primarily an assembly plant. Uni­ versal carriers and the other army machines are now rolling off the assembly lines of the motor plants, complete in every respect. The year 1941 witnessed a tremendous de­ velopment in that regard. We know that the companies have al­ ready delivered upwards of 200,000 Central Mechanization. Depot — by — Lieut. B. M. Pearce On the outskirts of the city of London, Ontario, stands a vital link^ in Canada’s war industry', a compon­ ent part of the great machine which is rapidly motorizing and mechaniz­ ing Canada’s army. It is one that has no counterpart elsewhere in the Dominion, Bearing the rather cumbersome and unexciting name of “Central Mechanization Depot,” it is actually one of the most interesting phases of the entire Ordnance set-up. To this Depot come all the Universal car­ riers, artillery tractors, lorries and motorcycles fresh from Canadian war plants for distribution to Camp Borden, Petawawa, Debert and a score of other training centres. The Depot also functions as Can­ ada’s largest garage, with damaged army vehicles from centres across Canada being sent here for repair and rehabilitation. It is also the dis­ tribution point for spare parts needed for all vehicles. We went out to see the C.M.D., as it is familiarly known, and Xvere ushered into Hie office of Colonel Frank Chappell V.D., who is Officer Commanding the Depot. He also doubles in the role of O.C. of the important Mechanics Training Cen­ tre in London, but that is another story- in itself. Colonel Chappell is also a story because for many years he wax the able and widely known Director of Public Relations and In­ dustrial Organization for the Gener­ al Motors Company of Canada. A veteran of the last war with a dis­ tinguished record, he offered his ser­ vices at the outbreak of this war, with little idea that he would shortly find himself the administrative head of a pair of war projects which have an integral role in the ar- mouring of Canada’s forces and WILLIAM STONE SONS, Limited INGERSOLL ONTARIO "1 notice that the Rowleys seem to get along much better these days.” "Yea, ever since be went home this summer and saw the girl he was in love with 20 years ago.” OPENING D A N C E STRATFORD CASINO BALLROOM THURSDAt, MAY 7th Morgan Thomas and His Orchmtra nf Hamilton Admwiioa, 10c - Dancing, 5c — DANCING — Evory T«**H*y, Thur.Hay, Saturday and Holiday* Ontario’* M«t Boantifnl Ballroom Sap A e n te . in Q u ality army vehicles of all kinds, that they are turning out an army automo­ tive unit every three minutes and that Canadian made tracked and wheeled vehicles have been used in nearly every’ engagement in which <he Empire’s soldiers have partici­ pated. This is particularly true of the powerful mobile units of the Imperial forces in Libya, Where then does the C.M.D. fit Jnto this picture? Simply this, that every such vehicle for Use in Can­ ada goes through this Depot for in­ spection and servicing. They arrive at C.M.D. from Ford, Chrysler and General Motors plants by rail and by highway convoy. Later they are speeded on their way to Borden, Petawawa or other army centres. What happens in be­ tween? A staff of skilled mechanics gives them a complete checkup, sees that every part, bolt and nut is cor­ rect and services them when neces­ sary, The Depot is in essence the distributing point for all mechan­ ized vehicles used by the Canadian Army throughout the Dominion. That is not all, The Depot houses an enormous store-room for spare parts for each and every one of the 160 different types of army vehicles produced by Canadian factories. A staff of trained men is constantly on the jump to fill the demand for spare parts from a score of Canad­ ian army training centres. In the storeroom are just 25,000 different parts, valued at close to one million dollars. ’’There is still another important phase of the work at C.M.D., that of repairing and replacing parts in worn and damaged vehicles. Into the Depot comes a procession of motorcycles, carriers and lorries part is carefully removed from’the vehicle and meticulously stored away for future reference and poss­ ible rebuilding. Thus while a ve­ hicle may be beyond reclamation some parts may be saved' for ‘valu­ able use elsewhere. We saw pile upon pile of used parts carefully segregated on the floor of the work­ ship. Colonel Chappell is very proud of the skilled artisans who form the Depot's staff. The fact is that many of them were former-garage mech­ anics in civilian life. They requir­ ed little or no mechanical training” he declared. Soon they were ex­ perts in disassembling and rebuild­ ing all types of army vehicles. In May 1941, the Depot was mob­ ilized by the Department of Nation­ al Defence and about one half of the men were either unable to make the required physical cate­ gory or for family or other reasons could not enlist. "We went through a difficult period,” Colonel Chappell remarked. We were decidedly short- staffed and it was essential to se­ cure experienced men quickly. One day 1 called in two Sergeants, pro­ vided them with a car and told ’.hem to scour the district for garage mechanics who were willing to en­ list for the duration. Three days later they were back with eight first-class men and others followed afterwards as a result of the con­ tacts made by our representatives. Gradually the staff was built up again to take care of the ever-in­ creasing demand. It is an odd coincidence that the great Mechanics Training Centre with hundreds of soldier-students at Queen’s Park commenced its op­ erations at the Central Mechaniza­ tion Depot, while the latter origin­ ated at Queen’s Park. Colonel Chap­ pell has seen them grow from in­ fancy and while separate and dis­ tinct in every way, he has fathered the pair and remains the Officer Commanding of a team that is doing things for Canada’s war in­ dustry.
