Members of the Ingersoll Kiwanis Calf Club were guests of their sponsors, the Ingersoll Kiwanis Club, at the regular meeting of the Ki wanis Club at the Ingersoll Inn on Thursday evening last The speaker for the occasion was Professor George Raithby of the Dairy Branch of the Ontario Agricultural College, Guelph, who gave a talk that was particularly appealing to the guests as well as club members.' Kiwanian George Sutherland, a member of the Agricultural Com mittee of the club, acted as chair man of the evening. Kiwanian F. Earl Johnston and Kiwanian J. Frank Fulton acted as song leaders for the meeting and the guest speaker, Prof. Raithby, delighted all a vocal solo. , Prof. Raithby was introduced to the gathering by Kiwanian Leslie A. Westcott. The speaker complimented the club on its interest in sponsoring a Calf Club as this project he be lieved helped to create in the minds of the boys ideas in agriculture that would be of great value to them in later years. The speaker touched upon some of the present activities in livestock producLjon and said that in 1931 only 11,000,000 lbs. of pork had been produced in Canada for export to Great Britain. In 1941 the pro duction of pork for export was step ped up to 425,000,000 lbs. and the 1942 quota has been set at 600,000,- 000 lbs., of which some 325,000,000 lbs. has been shipped in the first six months of the export year. With the increased production the matter of feed was now beginning to be come a problem. The surplus of grains were gradually being used up, he said and the young farmers would have to face the problem of finding extra feed for the increased livestock. Prof. Raithby stressed the fact that there would have to be an In creased production of wool in this country as formerly Canada produ ced only about twenty per cent of its requirements, and unless this were stepped up there would soon be a great shortage as it was becom ing difficult to get wool tnunported from Australia and New Zealand. The necessity of increased milk production was also stressed in order to provide more evaporated, conden sed and powdered milk, cheese and butter. The favorable weather of the past few weeks were cited as a big help to increased milk supply and better crops. The proper management of farms was emphasized as a means of get ting better results and encourage ment of the young men on the farms was most vital in helping to bring this about the speaker stated. Kiwanian Charles W. Riley ex pressed the thanks of the gathering to Prof. Raitby for his informative talk.

Fire Chief Gillespie has been in charge of the Ingersoll Fire Depart ment since February, 1935, and the only large loss since he has been connected with the Department was the Ingersoll Flour Mills Fire in 1938. He has been a great worker towards educating the public of the importance of Fire Prevention and the local records prove that his efforts have born fruit. It is learned from Town Clerk Robert MoNiven that Ingersoll is rated as a Class A town as far as Fire Insurance rates are concerned on dwellings. The town waa placed in this category in February, 1940 and it has meant a big saving to the ratepayers on insurance premiums. This {■ the same classification it may be pointed out that is enjoyed by the larger cities of London and Wood- stock who have full time paid Fire Departments. Ingersoll citizens will also benafit from another reducation in Fire In surance rates that ia province wide in its scope and came into effect on May 1st, Town Clerk McNlven, who is also an insurance agent, points out that rates on all local residen tial property has reduced by 10% as from May 1st.

THURSDAY, MAY 14th, 1942 Condemn Destruction of Wild Flowers Once again in tht spring of the ycfir, appeals are being made by the various horticultural societies throughout Canada against the reckless plucking of wild flowers. These appeals for the preservation of part of Canada’s natural beauty do not mean that no wild flower should ever be picked but they do emphasize the necessity of a little thought on the part of the picker. Some wild flowers should never be picked at all; others may be taken at will. Of the latter kind, like violets and hepaticas, are the plants whose flower directly from the roots, and provided the body of the plant *s left undisturbed no*damage will have been occasioned. In any case, tearing up a plant by the roots merely to gain a bloom is wanton des truction. Other wild flowers that should never be plucked at all are those which cannot be picked without re moving all the foliage upon which depends the flow ering of the bulbous root for the following season's crop of flowers. Of this species of flower is the White Trillium, the official floral emblem of Ontario. In stead of plucking the White Trillium, it would be far better to transfer the entire plant to one’s gar den, and thus perpetuate the significance of the em blem. So the appeal goes out once more to all who have it in their power to save the wild flowers of Canada. LOOKING BACK 25 YEARSFrom the Files of Th* Oxford Tribune,Ingersoll, Canada, Thursday, May 17th, 1917Charles Fergusson of Toronto, is visiting at his home here. Mrs. C. C. L.

Miss May Elliott returned to Baltimore, Ind., after spending some weeks with her parents here. Poison Ivy May Spoil A Pleasant Holiday Every year with the advent of spring comes the oft unheeded warning "Beware Poison Ivy.” Exper ienced campers or picknickers are not caught nap ping and a tip may be taken from their methods. They are careful to include in their preparations for the day a piece of good strong yellow laundry soap. The precaution is obvious. Although there may be no poison ivy around, at the same time it'is found throughout Canada in various guises. It may appear as a single plant Or as a trailer scrambling over stumps and clumps, or as a climber covering trees to-a height of 40 feet or more, with a stem of several inches in diameter. It is often found in places ideal for a picnic far removed from cultivation. Poison ivy is the worst vegetable poison in North America and contact with any part of the plant, roots, stem, leaves and flowers, may bring acute suf fering. Its loaves are in bloom from April to June, and, although they are inconspicuous, they might attract children. Many remedies have been suggested to allay the burning and irritation caused by the plant, but one of the simplest is immediate washing of the parts affected with good strong yellow laundry’ soap. -* V The long-stalked leaves are divided into three dis tinct leaflets, bright green on the upper side, paler on the under. New Delivery Laws Lauded By Merchants Executive members of the London Branch of the United Retail Food Merchants Association of Can ada at a meeting lauded the Wartime Prices and Trade Boardr for adopting the regulation which elim inates deliveries of groceries unless the order exceedsone dollar.

Harold McPhillips, London, Prices and Sup ply Representative of the Western Ontario Region of tjje Wartime Prices and Trade Board: "On behalf of the independent grocers of Lon don, we would like to express our gratitude for the new regulation concerning delivery service. Those rulings have solved a number of our problems which formerly tied our hands. Everyone seems most willing and anxious to co-operate in conserving gas oline and tires so that our mechanized troop*, air men and sailors will have sufficient supplies available to carry the United Nations to Victory.'* Many Ingersoll business men have also expressed themselves as being highly pleased with the regu lation and are finding the majority of housewives willing to give their .fullest co-operation.

LongAn old Balloon Woman has come to me, a gift from over the seas, where factories still create beauty as well as instruments of death. The beauty must be sent abroad, to be exchanged for the gold that will be used to purchase more instru ments of death. They cannot keep their beauty over there, for the Hun is at the gate and their great and present need is for the weapons to keep him out So she has arrived, this poor and patient little exile, and asks nothing but that I love and understand her; love as she has loved; understand as she has been understanding. She is old. She is worn. Her shoulders are stooped with the heavy load she always has carried, and the lines etched on her sweet fnce tell her full story. It isn’t a story told in the Homeric manner, and yet how truly heroic it is. No hero of old was more bludgeoned by fate; no trials he endured, whether of flesh or spirit, but that she too suffered, and she, like him, suffered and en dured and uttered no plaint. But he returned, his labours done, to be lauded us the hero he undoubted ly was; she remains, a weary nnd unheralded emblem of the masses, who ask only that they may live their decent poor lives with a mini mum of distress. She, my old lady, has seen much of that. I know; she has told me her story. She gave her eldest son, when he had become her mainstay in helping to lighten the family burden, to die uselessly on the African Veldt. She had loved her lad, as every mother loves her firstborn. His loss wrenched her heart a little from its moorings, but there were many others to consider and there was no time to waste in mourning him. She would do that at night when the rest slept and no one but herself the wiser. Then widowhood and the want and worry that accompanies that state with the desperately poor, she knew and yet went on unflinchingly, her humour more than a little tinged with sadness perhaps but never wholly absent from her approach to life. Desperate struggles were her everyday lot; struggle to fill empty young stomachs; struggle to clothe and shoe; struggle to satisfy a land lord who called with such unfailing regularity; struggle finally to keep decency wrapped like a fair cloak around them. It was al) struggle, but she was fierce in her determin ation and tenacity. Adverse winds of fortune might try to strip her of all she held dear, her pride, her zeal, her health, so precious and necess ary, her beloved children, but the stronger the gale the more grim be came her hold on them. One by one the youngsters grew to maturity and went their separate ■ways, until only the baby of the family was left to her. Her baby at eighteen was such a stalwart and handsome lad, so cheerily good nat- ured, so full of fun. He used to call her "sweetheart” and pretend he wanted no other. Funny he was and no mistake, always joking and pok ing lively fun at her and her little set ways, but he did love her so. They were happy, those two; per haps that was her very happiest times. She smiles wistfully as she remembers him and his dear tantal izing ways. But happiness isn’t made to last; not that kind of hap piness, with that kind of people. Another war came and took him frqm her and she knew neither the hour, nor the place, nor the manner of his going. He was just "missing” and so remained. And that war of dark and awful world renown took the husband of her daughter, and left his five small children father less. They came to live with her and fill the tiny home again. That gave her no time for fret, for she must cook and clean and sew while her bereaved daughter worked at the mill. They were all grown up now and all working for still another war, as were the girls and boys of the rest of her children. The boys were scat- tered to all parts of the sprawling Empire, fighting, being killed or drowned or taken prisoner, while the girls were being absorbed in factory or mil) or on the parade- ground, and she was left alone, so very alone. Of course they’d look after her if she’d let them, but why should they? Hasn't she always been capable of taking care of heraelf? And no she will continue as long as she may. Patiently she rite in her sheltered corner, with her bright array of balloons and the basket of gay flow- era, and look* out on the multitudes that come and go in the great city that has sheltered her always. A little withdrawn aha has eon* to feel, aa though she waa no longer an FAR M E RS.. .YOU CAN BORROW For War-time Production , If you need money to improve your production of food and other essential supplies to help Q^ada’s war effort, you are invited to discuss your needs with our nearest branch manager, who will treat your business as _____ strictly confidential.

THE INGERSOLL TRIBUNE, THURSDAY, MAY 14, 1942 Page 3 j BRITISH INDUSTRIES— From Robert Williamson —NAZI AIR SECRETSSecret information about German aircraft engineering was secured by the British Government when a South Wales engine overhaul fac tory rebuilt a complete German aero-engine from a quantity of spares and salvaged parts. Five complete engines were event ually assembled, all of them passing tests, and Mr. G. Hummerstone, the superintendent, received a letter from the British Ministry of Air craft Production thanking him for what they described as "a remark able achievement” This factory is one of twelve run by the British Overseas Airways Corporation, whose wartime work has earned for it the nickname “Merchant Air Service”. Over 40,000 miles of British air routes from Sweden to South Africa and the United States to India, these un armed merchant ships qf the air maintain vital communications of Empire through all the theatres of war. Last year they flew 5,500,000 miles; in 1942 the figure will be round about 8,000,00ft miles. Regardless of weather and risks of enemy interference, these 'planes carry vital messages, important per sonnel, films, and written propa ganda. The urgency* of the work is giving the Corporation much valu able data for use after the war when engines will do more for the same weight, and radio and other devices will open up an era of safety for commercial flying which -would have seemed impossible in peace time.

Policemen in Britain areforming groups to give themselvesa knowledge of German, and Russian. Home Guards are also occupying their spare time in picking up Ger man at their guard posts. The Friends’ Ambulance Unit which worked on the Burma Road has had courses in Chinese. Courses in Spanish have been sent out, to U.S.A, for the American Air Force, and other U. S. Forces are learning Russian. A gramophone course in English is popular with sailors in the Nor wegian ’ and Dutch Merchant Servi ces; and French Canadian soldiers are also using the gramophone rec-, ord system. The Free Services of France, Norway, Czechoslovakia, Poland and Holland are about to learn to speak English in a gramo phone course which is being record ed with the aid of B.B.C. an. nouncera Nine out of ten of the language courses now being produced in Brit tain are going to the Servicea^The chief demand is for Russian, Chin ese and German, although courses in Arabic, Hindustani and Japanese have been taken up by certain Ser vice personnel. EIGHTY SORTS OF BOOTS AND SHOES Hides not at present required by Britain's motor and upholstery trades will be used for the utility boots and shoes which after June 1 will form probably one half of the footwear produced for the civilian population of Great Britain. The hides are at present being made into grain leathers, in a range suited to various types of shoes, from light walking to heavy indus trial. Heavy grain hide leather will be turned into mining, agricultural and quarrying boots, Apart from such leathers devel oped by the tanning industry to meet special war-time needs, the new utility footwear will include most of the varieties already familiar to wearers. Extreme decorativeness is of course barred to-day, but the utility scheme includes over eighty differ ent kinds of boots and shoes. There will, naturally, 'be drastic reduct ion in the peace time yearly supply of 105,000,000 pairs for the civilian population. Britain has already con centrated that total to 80,500,000 pairs, and further cuts of from ten to twenty per cent, have already been announced to allow the industry to meet the first call upon it for boots and shoes for the 20,000,000 men and women who will soon be mobilised in the Services, Civil De fence and munition work. MILLIONS OF PINS Britain used 1,500,000,000 fewer pins last year than in 1940, and there will be several million fewer this year: already men's new shirts have surrendered the dozen pins with which^it was the quite unnec essary ritual to fasten them up. The steel and brass from which they are made are. doing a more important job to-day. The steel goes into anything from a hand grenade upwards; the brass be comes anything from a gas mask fastener to a Bofors cartridge. Yet one firm alone can still pro duce 60,000,000 pins a week, an out put which before the war would have have brought in £50,000 a year. The pin itself has its war uses. The aircraft industry needs huge quantities for pinning fabric to. gether. Britain’s Stationery Office I buys very largely as do the Domin ion and Colonial Governments, in cluding the India Office. WORLD RAG BAG The grey blue blankets now going out in their thousands, soft warm and fluffy, from the West Riding of Yorkshire to the British Army may well have sailed the seven seas in a previous existence. Not an ounce of new wool goes into them. They emerge from rags worn-out uniforms, pullovers, old socks. Sorting out these rags is a highly specialised industry. The women and ghls who do it can tell by a touch if the rags contain cot ton: should there be any in them it is dissolved by a special process leaving the wool fibres intaet. Dust and dirt are removed by a vigorous shaking and oil is poured over the rags to lubricate their fibres. A fast revolving cylinder covered with sharp locked teeth tears the rags into a woolly fibrous mass. From then on the fibres are turned into cloth in the same way aa new wool is carded, spun and woven on the machinery which in peace time makes tweeds, coating, blazers and flannels. It is hard to believe that the stiff, thin piece of doth which appears will ever become a blanket with a soft, thick pile. It is first scouredin a soda solution and then it ismilled and felted until it is just thewidth required. After a thoroughwashing in warm water the .cloth ispassed through a wringing machineand dried.At this stage the cloth looks more like a blanket. It next passes through the brushing up or raising machine which has hundreds of tiny wire hooks that claw at the fibres and pull them up to give the “blan- kety” feel. Scarcely anything is lost in the whole process of manufacture: dur ing the last hundred years it has become almost a new art. The loose fibres removed by friction in the shrinking or milling process go to make flocks for mattresses. The waste left over from the finishing processes is no use as textile mat erial: it is however full of nitrogen and goes off to manure the hop gardens of Kent and the orchards of Somerset Even the oil and soap are recovered and utilised. Nothing is wasted. OTOTgx POLICY KP) QUALITY xea pS K u s s LOBLAWS THE MIXING BOWL •y ANNt AllAN Mytfrs Hama (caoamlM s SHOULDER YOUR HOEI Hello Homemakers!

Everyone who has experienced the joys of gardening, knows the thrill of having fresh, crisp vegetables at hand's grasp— vitamin-loaded vegetables so import ant in our every-day diet For home gardens this year, let tuce, radish, spinach, wax or green beans, beets, Swiss chard, carrots, a few tomato plants and onions grown in sets, are recommended. Rural communities especially will want to be self-supporting to con serve the family budget Don’t at tempt too much. Choose the veget ables that are easy to grow and be on the watch for your garden fifth- columnista—Weeds and bugs. For those short of space, herb gardens are easy to cultivate and herbs are so useful to add that extra flavour to dishes and give "appetite-appeal” to yout meals. Learn to make use of them—that is one way to thrift and tasty cooking. ♦ » • Don’t be surprised if you find gar dening tools scarce—there's a metal shortage—just try to make the old ones do.

TAKE A TIP 1. Place bulbs, annuals and per ennials that are not hardy in a new location each year. Do this for insect and disease control. ** 2. - Transplanting should be done in the cool of the evening. 3. If yorlr garden is small you cannot plant everything. Sow seeds best suited to the soil in your garden and to the amount of time you plan to spend on gardening. Sow seeds of the vegetables that are easily stored: hardy winter cabbage, late potatoes, onions, carrots, parsnips, etc. Plant your vegetables that are harvested early in the same row as the slow-germinating seed, i.e.: plant radishes over rows of corn and cucumbers in between your po tato hills. If space is limited, sow your herbs in the flower bed, but by all means plant herbs such a* par sley, thyme, sage, horseradish, nas turtium, mint, etc. QUESTION7 BOX Mrs. M.

Mra J.T.B. asks: "Why does sponge cake turn out soggy and small in volume? Is it overmixing?” Answer: The egg whites should be beaten until the mixture is stiff but not dry. If the folding-in is very gently done, there is no par ticular danger of overmixing. Con tinue until no flakes of egg white are visible, Mrs. D.B. asks: "Should liver be scalded before cooked?” Answer: Bevf and calf liver do not need to be scalded, but pork liver is more easily assimilated if boiling water is poured over it be fore the pieces are sauted or baked....

Stone, Francis street. Bill Stone was the commanding offi cer of the I. G. I. Cadet Corps this year and was chosen by the Cadets of the Ingersoll Collegiate Institute to represent the corps on a two day inspection tour of Camp Borden arranged, by the headquarters’ offi cials of Military District No. 1. Monday, May 4th was the big day the Cadets of Military District No. 1 had been waiting for. At ten thirty the boy from Tillsonburg and I were picked up by a char tered bus from London and by tlte time all the other cadets along thc way got on there were forty of us with Major W. L- Aitken, Cadet Of ficer fpr M. D. No. 1 and Sgt Major Husher in charge. At noon we had sandwiches and ‘coke’ for lunch which was served to us in the bus. We arrived in the camp at three fifteen and were immediately taken to our barracks. From here we marched to the indoor swimming pool, the largest in Canada, and had a swim. After the swim we went to the Orderly building and here we were each given four blankets, pil- Jow, knife, fork and spoon. We went back to the barracks, made our beds and then waited for supper which was supposed to 'be at 6.15 but we didn’t eat until 6.45. While we are waiting for supper I will des cribe what Borden is like. The population of Camp Borden varies between twenty-five and thir ty-five thousand and has an area of thirty-two square miles. The streets are macadamized and named. The soil is sandy and very jlusty but it is amazing how clean the camp it self is. The camp is surrounded by brush and as the land is very hilly it makes an excellent training ground. Camp Borden is a regular city, containing its own telegraph and telephone system, post-office, hospital, newspaper and three or four fire halls. For recrea tion the soldiers go to the Y^M.C.A. or the Canadian Legion, which con tains movies, ping pong tables, pool tables, etc. Now to get back to supper and what a supper! The Corporal who was in charge of us said that the cook did not know we were coming and that is why our meal was so late. For supper we had. macaroni and cheese with bread and tea and our desert was prunes. After supper we marched to the Legion Hall where we were met by Universal Carriers. In these carriers we went to the battlefield for a ride.. I think the object of this ride was to make sure the macaroni 'stayed down, as we were taken over the biggest bumps and hills that any one would ever want to ride over. These carriers are governed at 40m. p.h., but will actually go between 50 and 60 m.p.h. Many of these carriers have gone through Ingersoll and are very common. They have the caterpillar wheels and will hold six men including the driver. They can climb hills which are almost per pendicular and will knock down a tree 5' in diameter. After this rough and dusty ride we went to the movies at Lee Hall. This theatre has a seating capacity of 5,000 and has the largest projecting lens in the world. The movies are all up to date and some of the pictures reach camp Borden before they reach here. The admission for each pic ture is 15c. We got back to our barracks about 10 o'clock and prepared for bed. Lights were out at 10.30 but none of us settled down until 11.30, at which time a sergeant informed us that we all hail to get up at 5.30 a.m. In the morning we arose and had breakfast at 6.L5, which consisted of hard-boiled eggs, potatoes, bread and coffee. We then went to the parade grounds and witnessed the march past, taken by the Brigadier. About 9.30 we went to the rifle ranges where we each shot 15 rounds from a Bren gun. A sub machine gun was also demonstrated to us but through lack of time, only three had a chance to shoot with this gun. The Bren shoots 500 rounds per minute while the sub machine gun shoots 700 rounds per minute. We then went to the gas chamber where we had a strong dose of tear gas. This gas effects not only a person's eyes, but seems to burn hU chest, throat and nose. It was now dinner time so back we went to the barrack*. We all felt pretty sick from this last episode and about sixteen of the fellows didn’t bother having any dinner. tivities.About 1.15 p.m, we took our luggage and marched to the Legion tomeet our bus which took us over tothe Air Force Camp. Here we sawHarvard planes being over-hauledand saw how the Link Trainer was used to teach the students blind flying. We aaw how parachutes were packed and were told that they are now made of nylon as it is stronger. Every fourth section of the parachute is coloured red to act as a land mark if a flier is forced to land by parachute. We visited also the Observation tower which gives one a beautiful view of the country surrounding Camp Borden. We returned to the Army division of Borden and here were shown the different tanks. The largest tank was the Ram (32 tons) in which we were all given a ride. Other tanks were the Valen tine (18 ton) and the Mart-Six (10 tons). We left Camp Borden at 3.45 p.m. and arrived in Ingersoll at 8.15 p.m. This trip was a great thrill and a marvellous experience, one which I shall never forget. I have only one regret and that is that more boys could not have taken this trip. trict for Harley McBeth and knowquite a number of people aroundthere.

I- of Canada, C. A. (A. F.) The Editor The Ingersoll Tribune Dear Sir: I would like to take this opportun ity to thank you for sending me the Tribune. It has been coming in regularly for the past two months, and I can assure you, 1 appreciate it very much. It sure is great to be able to read Ingersoll news once again; I read in your paper that Ingersoll has gone over the top twice now in the Victory Loan. News like that is really great to read. Keep up the good work. Everything is fine over here, the training in getting more intensive everyday, but that is to be expected. We had a little excitement over here the other day, Easter Sunday. Three enemy planes came over and dropped a few bombs, (Easter Eggs), but tlfere was little damage done/ They were not content with dropping bombs, so they had to machine gun the streets. I might say this is the first air raid which I have exper ienced since I ^carne to this country. The weather is exceptionally fine, it's like summer over here. Wishing you all health and hap piness and all thc luck in the world with your newspaper. I remain sincerely. CAPT. CHARLES D. DANIEL SENDS THANKS TO TRIBUNE Captain Rev. Charles D. Daniel, minister of Trinity United Church, now on active service with the Can adian Army Overseas, sent an inter esting letter from England on April 8th, 1942, which is reproduced in part below; Dear Mr. Veale and Members of the Tribune Staff: It is with earnest expectation that I look forward each mail to receiv ing The Tribune. Of course, we like the personal touch letter but certain ly The Tribune is a weekly letter that brings in all the items that per sonal letters sometimes miss. When one is over here so far from home, the home newspaper becomes a very valuable asset. Possibly I should say it assumes its true value. The fact that the papers over here are so cut down in their space, we get very little Canadian news out side of Jerry Wilmot's B.B.C. Sports Letter and News Letter each week and Foster Hewitt's Saturday night hockey broadcast, so we prize our home paper that much more. It seems a strange war, but I be lieve things are gradually turning and soon with the massed aid organ ized and properly directed strength of the Allies, we will fight out way to victory. I haven't seen many of our Inger soll boys since coming over. We all have our various duties and it is not always easy to get together, espec ially with travel cut down the way it is. I do want to make mention of how grateful we all are herc of your efforts there; The Red Cross and War Charities working to us through our Auxiliary War Services, the keen and tangible interest of the churches in the men, the war work ers in the factories, the individual interest in letters, cards and par cels, and by no means least, the var ious funds that are raised to provide smokes for the troops. In all these and other ways, you at home make us feel proud of Ingersoll and glad to do our bit for our homes and >ved ones. I send my best regards to all my friends and my personal thanks for The Tribune. Sincerely, < CAPT. (REV.) C. D. DANIEL. First Canadian Division,Infantry Reserve Unit.

Kelly, Ham ilton, president of Russell T. Kelly Limited, advertising agency, at the regular meeting of the Ingersoll Lions Club at the St. Charles Hotel Coffee Shop, on Tuesday evening. President John E. Borland was in charge of the meeting which was well attended by club members as well as a number of guests. * Tickets were distributed and plans discussed in connection with the 2nd Annual Carnival to be spon sored by the Ingersoll Lions Club, which is to be held on the armouries lawn, on Thursday, Friday and Sat urday evenings, June 4th, 5th and 6th. The prize of a War Savings Cer tificate was won by Mr. Kelly in a draw made nt the meeting. Lion J. Ferns David introAiced the speaker to the gathering. | Mr. Kelly’s subject was “The Road Ahead,” or "Five Personal Com mandments." He impressed upon the members that it was their duty to do all they could towards win ning the war and- asked his hearers just what sacrifices each one had made towards winning the war, and declared "there should be some sacrifices we can all make to help out in these trying times. He referred to the Red Cross Blood Donors Clinics of which he is the Provincial Chairman, and ap pealed for volunteers from Ingersoll to offer their blood which is so badly needed for the wounded men in the war. He strongly urged the members of the club to do away with destructive criticism and to get behind the powers-that-be and give them every encouragement until this bloody battle is over and the war is won. It was his plea that we all should live the spirit of the law as well as observing the letter of the law and we should all pray each day for victory. Mr. Kelly declared, “No- one can tell me that God ever meant this Hitler to get control of this world. I know you all feel that God is on •jur side because wc are right. It is up to us as men to pray regularly that victory should be ours, and for you to regularly ask yourself, “Hare I done all I can possibly do in con nection with the great job that is before us of winning this war, for we are not os yet 100% all out for the war effort.*’In concluding his talk, Mr. Kellymentioned that we should realizeour individual responsibilities andthe fact that Canada has a tremendous job on its hands. He alsourged the club members to go to church more regularly and to pray for victory over the Hun and the Jap if we wish to continue living the kind of life we have been used to. "If we all do a little bit more towards the war effort it should not be too many years before there will be peace on earth to all men of good will,” said the speaker. Lion Bill Newell on behalf of the gathering, expressed their deep ap preciation to Mr. Kelly for his fine address. LT. GENERAL K.

Undoubtedly primevalman looked up nt the sky and wondered where the thunderheads came from. The Greeks believed that Zeus,hiding behind the rain clouds, amused himself by hurling at theearth the thunderbolts that Vulcan fashioned for him. Today the scien tists have told ns where the cloudscome from, and what makes light ning dash, but we still like to seeclouds in the sky and many of us like to picture them with our cameras. Doing this, as in the above picture, will be a simple matter if youhare a filter to aid tn your job.A filter—be It yellow, orange, orred—will bold back certain light rays from the sky proper and thusiaerrasr the contrast between the clouds and the sky. A dc< p yellow filter was used Inmaking this week’s illustration, and a considenble degree of contrast was obtained. But if a red filter had^een used, even more striking con trast between the clouds and thesky would have resulted. That’s all there Is to the technicalside of picturing clouds, or getting clouds in the background of your pictures, but pictorially picturingclouds isn't all a matter of filters and proper exposure. Actually, to be successful. cloudscapes have to be treated much like any landscape pic ture—and that means you must-include some familiar subject in the foreground to be used as a basis ofcomparison for the distances in volved. That familiar subject cut bea man, a tree, a house, an animal,or pert of the landscape. In our pic ture this week. It's the gracefulgulls. Don't keep your eyes to the ground at all times.

A. Conklin, writing in the current issue of *iHygeia.” He asks: “Are you one of those who dislike the very thought of walking when a car, bus or other vehicle is available? “If you are,” he advises, “it’s really too bad, be cause apart from its many physical benefits, a daily walk actually im proves your mental condition tre mendously. If you’re inclined to be melancholy when you awake in the morning, a walk will help chase away your depression. If you have dqep-rooted worries on your - mind, walking will give your weary brain a temporary respite and allow you to face your difficulties a little later with renewed vitality.” Mr, Conklin believes that posture is important in walking. He says: “You miss half the joys life can offer if your head is up in the clouds or directed towards the street beneath your feet. Try being comfortably erect, watching and checking on yourself at frequent in tervals. If the muscles which control •your posture have become a bit stiff and cause unwelcome pains, keep at it; slowly but surely nature will ad just you to your newly found phy sical position,” “Hand in hand with correct pos ture,” writes Mr. Conklin, "goes the mileage you may put into your daily walking expeditions. For the begin ner, a mile is sufficient. The exper ienced walker can gracefully stand four times as much. Walkers find that by gradually increasing the scope of their walks at the rate of an additional half mile each week, they are soon ablefto look a five mile hike in the face without win cing.” Early morning hikes are recom mended by Mr. Conklin. “They stim ulate the jaded appetite, and after a few weeks a "toned-up” effect will be noticeable.” "Set the alarm clock at six or seven o’clock and start out firmly to cover the pre scribed distance. The average per son can finish a three or four mile walking tour in a little more than an hour at the most, which means that you will reach home in time for a satisfying breakfast.” “If I were a parent, I would be more careful in selecting a camp for my child than I would be in select ing any other group of which he might be a member”, states Dr. Mary L. Northway in an article in the current issue of “Health,” or gan of the Health League of Can ada. Dr. Northway makes some sug gestions to guide parents in select ing a camp for their children this summer. “I’would read with care the cata logues of many camps”; she warns, “From these I would pick out the ones, not that promised miracles for my boy or girl, but those that told me in some detail what the boy’s or girl’s daily life at the camp was going to be like; who was going to look after him and what was expected of me as a parent in co operating with the camp. Then I would go to see the directors of the camp and ask them some very de tailed questions.” These questions, Dr, Northway gives in detail. She would ask about health in day by day camp living, about the discipline required, whether the child would receive enjoyment through working and living crea tively there, who would be respon sible for out-of-camp trips, and fin ally she would ask whether the camp was a member of the Camping Asso ciation. 'Tarents have entrusted their children to camp directors and sel dom has that trust been betrayed”. Dr. Northway states. “It is a chal lenge now to parents to make all camping as good as the best camp ing, by being interested in the camping movement, by being sym pathetically critical of what the Pidcs-you-up in the Spring Dr. Chase’s Nerve Food The Vitamin Tonic camps are trying to do and byworking together with the camp directors on the magnificent task ofguiding the development of children.”And Dr. Northway concludes:“For it is the children who, by liv. ing co-operatively, courageously and creatively with one another, will be able to reconstruct our broken world.”• • * A plan of action for the health of America is advocated by Dr. Martha M. Eliot, associate chief, U, S. Chil dren's Bureau, in the current issue of Survey Graphic. Summing up her observations in England, Dr. Eliot applies the lessons of the British experience to this continent and de clares: "The urgency of the need today calls for: z ' —immediate action to stop with drawal of physicians and nurses from areas already poorly provided or recently depleted, and the inaug uration of a plan to give national recognition to those who stay at home to serve the workers and mothers and children, the aged, the infirm in our civilian population. —a prompt review and plan for supplementation where needed, of the health and welfare personnel and medical facilities for care of maternity patients and children in all cities and totems and rural areas to which war industries or military establishments have brought or are still bringing large numbers of fam ilies or to which jjhildren might be sent in case evacuation of danger areas, become necessary; —the immediate development of a plan for the establishment of day care centers for children of moth ers who must go to work in connect ion with the war effort; —the establishment on an inter state basis of an emergency mobile corps of child health and welfare personnel—physicians, nurses, nu tritionists, child welfare workers, child guidance-workers, and non professional aides—to be available to supplement existing services in areas where war emergencies make such assistance necessary on more than an acute disaster basis; —a nationwide campaign to im munize all children against diphth eria and smallpox and. as needed, against typhoid fever; —a nationwide school lunch pro gram; —a nationwide program for train ing of child care volunteers to assist professional health and welfare workers and broaden the scope of their service in te'artime and peace time; —the immediate inauguration of an effective school medical service that will provide thorough diagnos tic examinations, the necessary med ical care, child guidance, and health instruction that will permit children and youth to take full advantage of I educational opportunities, and fit • them when they leave school to un dertake work within their individual capacities; —the extension of the provisions for maternity cace and for health, medical and welfare service* to children . . . until all areas of the country are adequately served.” “Nothing short of this will assure the nation that its children and youth of today will have the health and vigor necessary to carry for ward in peacetime to come the work that must be done in establishing a true democracy for the citizens of tomorrow,” concludes Dr. Eliot.

By Order of the National War Labour Board, HUMPHREY MITCHELL Minister of Labour and Chairman Ottawa, Canada, May 12, 11)42 BETTER PUBLICITY IN U.S.It appears now that better pub licity for Canada’s war effort in the United States will result from the recent visit of Premier King to Washington since he has indicated that this was one of his aims. “It is only natural that, since the United States is in the war, it should keep its own job on the front pages,” Premier King has stated. “But there is no reason for any Canadian to be on the defensive in the United States about “Canada’s war effort” to any reduction of business or intention of offering less banking facilities. Prior to the war there was ah effort to reduce the large num ber of banches of the various banks, and naturally this is stressed more and more now since the war has aggravated the problem on account of numerous enlistments and diffi culties of replacing staffs with suit able substitutes.

EXPORT TRADE IS DEFINITELY L11MTED Although there has been an im provement in Canada’s export trade lately, yet it is poined out in well- informed quarters, along Parliament Hill that the man-in-the-street throughout this country must regard this field as definitely limited. “We can only see in sight the immediate requirements of the British Isles and rather small exports to other countries,” stated Canada’s Minister of Trade and Commerce, Hon. J. E. MacKinnon, in a recent declaration in the House of Commons in Ottawa. BANKS ARE CLOSING BRANCHES There are now about 3,290 branches throughout Canada of the ten-chartered banks and this dis closes that these financial institu tions are gradually reducing the number of their branches, though it is strongly emphasized in the THE RED CROSS NEEDS *9 ,0 0 0 ,0 0 0 N O W ! • It is only through the Canadian Red Crqfe Society that anybody in Canada can send food parcels to any Canadian, Britirh, Australian or New Zealandprisoner-of-war anywhere. / This is but one of the great tasks of the Canadian Red Cross; great tasks require great effort and much money. More than 40,000 prisoners-of-war food parcels are sent overseas by the Red Cross every week. This number must be more than doubled to meet the actual need. More than a million such parcels Have already been sent to prisoners-of-war. It all costs money. The Canadian Red Cross Society has not campaigned nationally for funds since October, 1940. It now asks urgently for $9,000,000 in the only national campaign for war service funds to be authorized by the Govern ment this year. . * Every dollar contributed by you is .Wisely dealt with and economically adminis-. tered. AU Red Crass accounts art subject to scrutiny by the Auditor-General of Canada. The Canadian Red Cross has given enormousassistance to the injured and homeless inUunlad areas in Britain. At Coventry awlWiull. in devastated London, Plymouth,Bristol and Liverpool, the Canadian RedCrftw was there. Millions of articles ofclothing, shoes, blankets and other comfortshave been dL-tributed. Thousands of children In Britain have beenmade orphans by the war. The CanadianRed Cross has fed and clothed many of thesehomeleM ones and found them shelter. The Canadian Red Cross Society maintainsEnquiry Bureaus through which families inCanada obtain information regardingmusing re la lives. Through these Bureaus,priaonera-of-war or miming civilians arelocated. The work is carried on in co-operation with the International Red Cross atGeneva, Switzerland. The Canadian Red Cross has supplied 36mobile kitchen units for Britain’s fire fighters.These units are equipped to go into bombedureas and feed 250 workers at a time. CANADIAN RED CROSS ions in the resumed session of Par liament and whispered conversations going the rounds now among well- informed persons, Mark Twain would make the same remark to day about the political repercuss ions of the plebiscite whereby the man-in-the street informed the Gov ernment to go ahead with unlimited plans for total war. veteran and impartial observer can detect now backstage along Parlia ment Hill an extremely tense feeling and an unusually explosive atmos phere in political circles as the rep resentatives of the people are con fronted with the task of making the most solemn decision in the history of this country. Although it is conceded in respon sible quarters in the capital that the war is getting graver and that in the coming weeks as events move in a quickened pace that a number of vital problems must be solved in a equitable manner, yet the political repercussions resulting from the plebiscite will cause the parliamen tary session which lies ahead not only to be long and lively but to be productive of most interesting and most important news which will affect every man, woman and child in this nation. There are several serious and highly controversial problems facing the legislators and each one may cause a rustle in the political hedge. There is the problem of a record $3,500,000,000 Budget for this year of such magnitude and such compli cated form that its presentation has been delayed. There is the problem of enquiries, including the Wheat Board, Canadian Broadcasting Cor poration, War Expenditures, Can teen Funds, Vocational Training, Reconstruction, etc. There is the problem of 15 vacancies in the Sen ate and its lack of work, though this is due to the fact that all legis lation directly or indirectly involv ing expenditures must originate in the House of Commons and all war legislation so far has involved the spending of public money. More over, in the past both political par ties have accumulated a large num ber of Senate vacancies, filling them all suddenly by one move usually on the eve of a general election. In deed, when Meighcn became Prem ier in 1920, there were only 4 va cancies in the Senate, and before he ceased to be Premier in December, 1921, he named 15 Senators in this short time. Likewise, when R. B. Bennett was Premier, he appointed 17 Senators just before the 1935 election. But these problems are likely to cause only a rustle in the political hedge in comparison with the real political fireworks that may be brought on at any time now in this session by spontaneous cogitation amongst the people’s representatives for all-out compulsory overseas ser vice in accordance with the results of the plebiscite. Amongst the Liberals, the head of the party, Premier King, has taken the same attitude as did Sir Wilfrid Laurier in 1917 when he proposed an amendment to the Mili tary Service Act whereby provision was made for a referendum, inferr ing that, whatever the result, the minority must submit to the will of the majority. He has emphasized in terms of unusual gravity the necess ity of a "supreme effort” to meet the present menace and his Govern ment has been given now by the people a fresh and undoubted man date to do so. Ever since he became the party’s leader in 1919, he has been Prime Minister for almost eighteen years and the Liberals have won many general Elections, includ ing 1921, 1925, 1935, and 1940, with the present Parliament having no less than 184 Liberals, 40 Con servatives. and 20 members of other parties. Moreover, Premier King commands a healthy respect from his own Liberal followers. In deed, when he walks through the lobby, many members lounging around make a denite effort to greet him and to shake his hand not In fact, this doubt about the political reactionsof the Liberal party and the allegiance of its followers to the opinionof their leader who in the past hasentertained certain fixed politicalideas, p a r ticu la rl y dislikingNational Government in wartme.The Conservatve leader, Hon. R.B. Hanson, has declared again and again in favour of all-out conscript ion in the broadest sense. He is now 63 yeasr of age, in indifferent health, and not too anxious to act as leader, but he has been gaining in prestige continually as a very able leader, though there seems to be a lack of unanimity in the rank and file of the party in support of any leader. In fact, it is stated in well-informed quarters that the Rt. Hon. Arthur Meighen also did not seek the leadership, being almost drafted by strong influences for the job from his lasting security as leader in the Senate, with Meighen being really selected as leader on November 8, 1941, not by unanimous choice butby a large majority of the Commit tee of 52 which was appointed by the Conservative Conference of about 150 representative Members,- Senators, and others. Now those who supported a regular convention, which was especially true of the Western delegates, believe that it was an error not to follow their advice since it was necessary not only to choose a proper leader but also to decide lasting and proper policies on war matters, though the idea of a National Government in wartime is favoured steadily by all • leading members of this party. Although the C.C.F. party, which demands conscription of Wealth as well as man power, might find it dif ficult to resist in joining a non-par tisan government, National Govern ment, yet for the past 20 years its attitude seems to favour a mar riage o? the Liberals and Conserva tives in Ottawa. It is recalled that the Progressive Party was created in the last war as a third party movement, and in the first post-war Parliament, there were 66 Progress ives who in 5 years gained more power than responsibilities and who got lower freight rates and tariffs as a "new deal” for the betterment of the farmer. A union of Liberals and Conservatives at any time in this war might cause history to re. peat itself in favour of the C.C.F. party, though not simply as an ag ricultural movement as in 1921 by the Progressive Party but for labor in General. The Social Credit party v(ants an all-out war policy, but it looks upon n new monetary* policy as essential to it. While there is a sort of tacit un derstanding that politics ought to be “out” for the duration of this war, yet it is apparent now backstage on Parliament Hill that the results of the plebiscite may revive some of the old political passions and bitter ness, though there are indications now that, if circumstances warrant compulsory service for overseas as well as home defence might not only be imperative but inevitable, with many well-informed observers in the nation’s capital believing that the development of the Govern-^ ment’s war policy in future may steadily move in that direction in accordance with the circumstances.— (Reproduction Prohibited.)
