Currie Wilson Honoured By Friends The annual exhibition of work by the students of the (Home Econ­ omics and General Shop Classes of the Ingersoll Collegiate Institute and Victory Memorial Public School was held in Victory Memorial Pub­ lic School on Friday evening, June 12th and Saturday afternoon, June 13th. The exhibition was very largely attended by citizens ■of the town and district as well as a num- ber from outside centres and all ap­ peared greatly impressed with the splendid achievements of the pupils of the various grades from the sen­ ior classes of public school to the third year students of the Colleg- The main display was in the kin­ dergarten room. Here were exhibited lawn chairs, desks, end tables, mag­ azine racks, ironing boards, step ladders, lamps, hose reels, foot stools, sleeve boards, bird houses and dozens of other smaller articles made in the wood working classes. The metal working classes had a dis­ play of hammers, screw drivers, punches, nail sets, flower pot hol­ ders, metal clamps, and other articles, which required welding, forge work and bench work. The display of wearing apparel and other sewing done by the girls of the Home Economics ClassesIfes marvelled at by many and would have done credit to many experienced sewers let alone pupils of the public and secondary schools. On Friday evening, pupils of Grades 7, 8, 9, 10 and 11 modelled garments made by themselves dur­ ing their classes. This was the first time this has been done in connect­ ion with the annual exhibition and the value of the training given the girls was impressed upon the many who witnessed the show as the articles modelled compared well with those that might be purchased ready made, and were completed at a small cost to the pupils. The exhibition reflected great credit on the teachers, Miss Doro­ thea I. Stuart, head of the Home Economics Department and Johnson R. Cryderman, teacher of the Shop Work Classes. (Because of a recent injury, Miss Stuart was unable to take the part she had planned in connection with the exhibition and Misses Jean Sutherland and Ethel Barber kindly assisted in the arrangements and in directing the fashion show.

To the United States, 82.00 per year THURSDAY, JUNE 18th, 1942 Canadian Limestone Limestone, because of the great variety and im­ portance of its industrial uses, is the most useful of all rocks. It is quarried in every province of Canada • except Prince Edward Island and Saskatchewan, but by far the greater part of the production comes from Ontario and Quebec. A present use for limestone capable of enormous development is in agriculture, says the Census of Industry report on the Stone In­ dustry ip Canada. Though the necessity of applying limestone or lime to agricultural land, in order to maintain or increase soil fertility, has been empha- * sized for years by authorities on agriculture, the quantity so used in Canada is still small, whereas, if the proper quantity were applied, it would consti­ tute one of the principal outlets of limestone. Bought Certificated Finance Minister J. L. Ilsley picked the following letter from Gordon Hammond, Kessler, Alta., out of his voluminous mail bag at Ottawa tl£ other day as the one he would remember when the task of finan­ cing Canada’s war effort appeared temporarily as too much of a burden: "The wife and I were so pleased to get your letter of appreciation for the money sent. Being a Veteran of the last war and too old, and I lost my right eye 12 years ago, I yet felt I wanted to do something to help. I was so sorry J could not buy a 850 bond sometime back but I didn't thresh one bushel of grain last year on account of being dried out—so you can understand what a kick we got towards the end of Marcr<when we were given a surprise Silver Wedding Anniversary party and a 830 silver collection was handed to us. So we came to the conclusion this was much the best way to make use of this nice present.” Hammond bought War Savings Certificates with his wedding anniversary gift.

Accident Prevention Week The Industrial Accident Prevention Associations, in a memorandum issued recently to industrialists throughout Ontario, feature an editorial on ‘com­ mandos’ in accident prevention work. The writer is J. C. Callaghan, works manager, The Steel Com­ pany of Canada, Limited, Hamilton. The editorial says, in part: "Just as conditions and techniques change in the war pattern, so should they change in our accident prevention effort. The war of survival that we all should be fighting stren­ uously to win has given a strong and forceful mean­ ing to the word ‘commando.’ Each individual in­ terested in accident prevention in industry can ap­ ply in his own individual way the import and mean­ ing of the word ‘commando’. . "Any routine that will develop individual alert- "fiess to the problem of accident prevention and sup­ ply the proper tools and techniques to meet the hazards of this present high-speed, tense, war pro­ duction program will certainly make a better con­ tribution to the work of accident reduction than by adherence to more formal effort routines.” The editorial suggest* that groups be taken from industrial forces and specially trained in accident prevention work with the objective of protecting themselves and their -fellow workers and to carry on ‘raids' against the hazards and dangers that may exist in their plants.

The Commercial Traveller It is not such a far cry to the day* when the old time commercial traveller was a very welcome visitor in towns and village* of Ontario. He usually arrived with a number of bulky trunks, containing his stock in trade, and large sample room* were at his disposal in the hotels which he visited. With the improvement in transportation facilities and communication* and the change in business methods, the statu* of the average traveller has undergone a radical change. He still call* on and keep* in touch with customers, but for the most pan he travels light and hi* services are more in an advisory capacity. With the war and price ceiling*, and the elimin­ ation of many type* of goods to make way for the war effort, the impression has gone abroad that the commercial traveller might also be eliminated. It is contended that untLr present circumstances sales­ manship is at a discount Government official* have taken the view that what the country needs i* to sell leas not more good*. The Canadian Manufacturers’ Association at it* annual meeting expressed the opinion that in the beat interests of all, the service* of commercial traveller* should be retained and utilised in connection with the distribution of goods and service* with which they are familiar. If new regulation* are to work well in these day* of continuous change in specifica­ tion* and good*, it can be accomplished with more celerity and lea* confusion if trained commercial traveller* are in a position to tell old customer* how to meet the situation in respect to restriction-. and where substitute* can be obtained when old lines are unavailable.

BRITISH INDUSTRIES — From Robert Williamson — FOUR HUNDRED WARSHIPS More than 400 warships have been added to the navel fleets of the Brit­ ish Empire since war (began, it is disclosed in the new edition of “Jane's Fighting Ships”, the ac­ knowledged authority on all the nav­ ies of the world. Names are given of 9 battleships, 6 aircraft carriers, 22 cruisers, 4 minelayers, 62 des­ troyers, 22 submarines, 16 sloops, 119 corvette* and 179 other naval vessels which were not completed at the outbreak of wan In addition to these, 72 destroyed, 7 submar­ ines, 18 minesweepers, 61 cor­ vettes and 37 trawlers have had their names published in connection with Warship Weeks in Britain’s Na­ tional Savings Campaign. “Jane’s Fighting Ships” also calls attention to the surprising develop­ ment of .warship building in the British Dominions, especially Can­ ada where sloops, corvettes and minesweepers have been coming off the stocks in numbers undreamt of before the war. Several destroyers, it is recorded, are also in hand in Empire shipyards. No less impressive are the collat­ ed particulars of enemy losses. Since war began, Germany has lost the battleship “Bismarck", the ar­ moured ship "Admiral Graf Spee”, * the cruisers “Blucher”, ‘Karlsruhe”, “Koln", “Konigsberg”, “Leipzig", 21 destroyers, 18 torpedo boats, nearly all the 70 *ibmarine* built before the war and about 80 other warships. Italy has lost the battleship “Con­ te di Cavour”, 11 cruisers, 27 des­ troyers, 14 torpedo boats, 12 sub­ marines and 27 other veasela, while Japan’s losses up to the end of April included the battleship “Haruna", 16 cruisers, 15 destroyers, 13 sub­ marine*, four seaplane carriers and seven other vessels,• • • STRATOSPHERE BOOTS The story is going the rounds of the footwear factories here that a pair of airman’* knee boots have been dropped over Berlin .with the message, “For Adolph—he’ll wear them out getting away from u*l" These were the normal Air Force boots, with legs of calf leather and lined with natural lamb fleece. We are now making a special new ankle boot for flying into the stratosphere, fitted with ingenious gadgets which warm the pilot's feet electrically'. Britain's footwear factories are turning out other line* in huge quantities, among them magnificent eight-inch high welted boots for women motor driven In the A.T.S.; black-laced shoe* for the W.AJL F.4*; shoe- for the Wrens; and boot* •nd shoes for ths Women's Auxil­ iary Fire Service and the land girls.

GUN PLATFORM In twelve days a workshop in the English Midlands has produced an anti-aircraft gun platform of simpli­ fied design which has now been ac­ cepted as standard. The original design was a riveted construction of rolled steel sections, demanding many man-hours to make. A simple design of sheet metal con­ struction, arc-welded instead of riv­ eted, was suggested. The Govern­ ment asked how long it would take to turp out a test platform. It was promised within 14 days. Four draughtsmen, working under the chief designer, produced the drawings overnight Construction began in th© morning and went on continuously day and night. In ten days the components were ready for assembly, and in two days more the completed platform was towed off for test—48 hours before the stipulated date. After official test* the simplified platform was accepted, within a month, as the standard design, with much saving to Britain in man­ power, materials, machine hours and money.

CANADA’S HOUSEWIVES ARECANADA’S “Mr. Henpeck, .what do you think of a man who marries for money?” "I think he earns every penny he gets.” Reduced Fee On Airgraphs Sen| Armed JForces Reduction in postage on Air­ graph Messages from Canada to our Forces in the United Kindom or the Middle East was made on Monday, June 15th to ju*t six cents per mes­ sage from the former rate of ten cents. As a further concession to facilitate correspondence between people in Canada and the United Kingdom Airgraph Service has been extended to Civilians, and the rate for messages sent by Civilians to Civilian addresses in the United Kingdom is fifteen cents a message. The great reduction of the Air­ graph fee and the extension of the service to Civilians should also prove an incentive to th© public to fur­ ther co-operate in helping to save valuable cargo space, urgently re­ quired for war supplies. It will be remerribered that a single reel oc microfilm, weighing only six ounces, contains 1500 messages, in contrast with the space required to Store 1500 letters of ordinary size. At the outset Airgraph service was con­ fined to letters addressed by Cana­ dians to the Armed Forces in the United Kingdom and later the Middle East, and afterwards was extended by the Postmaster General to mes­ sages from personnel of the Royal Air Force, Royal Navy, and British and Allied Forces serving in Canada, to their families and friends in the United Kingdom. The straightforward young wom­ an believed in telling the truth. She married a very sentimental young man. “My darting”, he said, “surely I cannot be worthy of you.” “Oh, of course not,” she answer­ ed, “but when a girl's been twenty- three for six years, she would be silly to be too particular, wouldn't she?"

MOLETAKEN BY DEATH The death of a well known and es­ teemed resident of Ingersoll in the person of Herbert Henry Mole, be­ loved husband of Annie Stanton, occurred at the family residence, 133 King Hiram street, shortly be­ fore six o’clock on Monday morn­ ing, June 15th. Although Mr. Mole had been in poor health for the past two and a half years, and was for a time confined to Alexandra Hos­ pital he had been showing some im­ provement of late, but suffered a heart seizure on Friday last from which he failed to rally. The late Mr. Mole who was born in Cambridge, England, was in his 54th year, and served with the Im­ perial Army in the Great War of 1914 to 1918. He came to Canada in 1921 and for three years lived in Windsor, coming to Ingersoll in 1924 where he had since made his home. He was a member of the Lo­ cal Corps of the First Division Sig­ nals for 14 years an$ at the out­ break of the present war in 1939 enlisted for active service. He left Ingersoll with the first local men and acted as instructor training the men at London for the first two months of the war when he was dis- charged as being medically unfit for active service. The late Mr. Mole was employed for ten years with William Stone Sons Limited, and for six years was sexton at St James’ Anglican Church until he was forced to retire because of ill health. Of a quiet, unassuming natdre, always ready to give ot his best to any worthy cause, Mr. Mole had made for himself a large circle of friends and his pass­ ing is deeply regretted. Left to mourn the passing of a loving and devoted husband and father are his widow, two sons, Signalman George H. Mole, over­ seas with the First Divisional Sig­ nals, who enlisted with his father on September 3rd, 1939; Donald Mole, at home and three daughters, Mrs, Cecil 'Churcher, Ingersoll, and the Misses Jean and Annie Mole at home. Also surviving is one brother, George Mole, Detroit, Michigan and three sisters, in Cambridge, Eng­ land, to all of whom the sympathy of their many friends is extended in their irreparable loss. The funeral was held from the family residence, 133 King Hiram street, on Wednesday afternoon, with a private service at the house at 2.00 o'clock, followed by a public service in St. James* Anglican Church at 2,30, conducted by the rector, Rev. H. E. Merifield. The service was very largely attended, which with the beautiful floral tok­ ens testified to the high esteem in which deceased was held and sym­ pathy for the sorrowing family. Mem­ bers of Ingersoll Branch No, 119 of the Canadian Legion and the mem­ bers of the Ladies’ Auxiliary to the Legion were present in a body. Members of the choir of the church were present and led in the singing of the hymns, with Mrs. Fred Fun- nell presiding at the organ. The funeral was of a semi-mili­ tary nature, and at the graveside, Fred Funnell, president of the Ing­ ersoll Branch of the Canadian Leg­ ion, conducted the Legion service.

The rector, 'Rev. H. E. Merifield, was in charge of the service and gave the word story for the cantata, showing what a beautiful world God has made if mankind would only realize it and see it manifest in their life and round about them. The opening number in the can­ tata was titled, “Givriikq^rnise This Holy Day,” Mrs. E. A. Wilson and Miss Ada Cook being the soloists, with the choir singing one portion in harmony, and also all the chor­ uses with obligato by Mrs. Victor Brooks.

Holmes, Miss Margaret Taylor and Miss Myfanwy Harvey sang the first section of the number, “Praise the Creator”; the junior choir rendered the second section, and the third verse was a soprano and contralto duet by Misses Winni­ fred Webb and Edith Leigh.

Edwin Long and Harold Smith were the soloists and a portion was a taken by a.trio composed of Mrs. Gordon Manzer, Mrs. Oscar Lee and Miss Edith Leigh, with Mrs. Giffen accompany­ ing oh the xylophone.

Elwoodapplied the whip at acorn.The P.L.I. outfits a bunch of fools, an* you can tell 'em I aaidso. That SUnn case Is closed.

Columbia county won'trsopen thia case tor anybody." Jerry explained that ha had want­ ed merely to look over the records. A reason, however, it was hard to supply.He suspected that records didn’texist—was told that they had beenpromptly, and properly, forwardedto the county seat—guess that theywere the barest report, containingnothing with which he wasn’t al­ ready acquainted.No nee, then, to add insult to in­jury by inquiring the name and "Just getting the dope, dear?” Jerry demanded. address of the official physician;these were easily acquired else­where, and that red-whiskered per­sonage was sought at bis office with­ out Mr. Norbeck forewarning him to uphold Columbia county*a honor. Well, warning would have beensuperfluous. The advent of thatmedical colleague from the Statecapital had hurt Dr, Gibbony’s pro­fessional pride: "And all his autopsy showed wasexactly what mine did—death bydrowning.” "Sure. I only wanted to know ifthere were any signs of a strug­ gle.”"Not a tear—not a rip. Besides,his letter turned out to corroborate us.” . "And that’s at Hudson with the report?” “Certainly not Not being found till afterwards, it was brought hereby your folks and then banded backto the executor.”"Who was he?** "Slinn’s store clerk, under a willjust executed. He’d been withSlinn since the grocery opened—been good to him, too. I figure, andthere weren’t any kin, and his pay was in arrears." Little here. Nothing at the coun­ ty seat. And yet Glidden s nuncnpersisted. It had to. and he had toprove it correct. Of course. he*dstopped of? on his way towardAlbany only so as not to overlookany bet. Yet there must be something. Ifa crime had been committed, everycriminological system was dis­ proved unless there had been some slip made by the criminal at thisend of the case. In the seclusion of the Hudsontaxi which bore him to the station.Jerry beat his brains black andblue. His lips tight, he pressed hisfrowning forehead between bis fists and stared sightlessly out of thecab window. What was It the Linlithgo doctorhad said? "In the clothes not atear—not a rip.” Jerry’s Instinctdeclared there was a flaw some­where, but bls reason refused to find any.Puzzling when he boarded thetrain, he was still puzzling when horeached Albany. For that matter, he found onlyone new fact there where his aettvpUes assumed four phases: 1. —Carlin had left for a vaca­tion at Casco Bay. No greatloss, Jerry reflected, since thelocal agent's mind would be* colored by Sam Steinhardt’s correspondence with him. 2. —The tailor had no freshlight to cast 00 the subject.None had been seriously ex­pected of him. J.—Ditto the company’s Al­bany physician. Yes, ho hadgone to Linlithgo and made aseparata autopsy. No, therewasn't the slightest sign of a struggle. Jerry could discover no detail in which there had been either negligence or error. A—The clerk executor— But this proved rather a largeprocess.When Jerry arrived at the gro­cery store—a small store to swal­low >30,000— Howard Weaver, theexecutor, was engaged, lone-band­ed. in closing up tor the flight. Hastruck you at ones as a follow wbowould be lonehanded aa long as any other hand cost money. Twenty ha was; forty he might have been; and his gaze'thawed knowledge of the world. His mouthwas small, like Leila's. His nosewas long and thia. He ted Jerry mistrustfullythrough the door surmounted by ahuge canvas sign: “OUT OF BUSINESS IEXECUTOR’S SALE!” Decidedly, hero was a gentleman with an eye to the main chance.Jerry realised that be would losenothing by getting down at onceto brass tacks. "Why d* you want to know?'asked Mr. Weaver. “He paid bispremiums all right, didn’t he?” "Sure. Your inheritance is safe.” T^e heir and executor sniffed. "IfI can clear two hundred and fifty by my ‘sacrifice’ ads 1*11 be doin’fine. Slinn owed the jobbers fornear every bit of the stock onhand.” "Oh, you’ll be all right. We justwanted another look at the letterand make a comparison of it withsome of Slinn’s other writing.”"Carlin done that." Carlin might be influenced bySteinhardt’s prejudices—doubtless was. "Well, we wanted to do itagain.”"He give me a ten-spot for the chance.” “Here's another.” Influenced or not, Carlin had rea­ son to endorse that letter asauthentic. A pitiable confession ofdespair. Jerry did not profess to bean expert in these matters, but hewould reluctantly have had toswear it was written by the samehand that kept the doleful books;and this wasn’t at all. he took osten­tatious care to prove, Howard Weaver’s. Jerry walked ouL Only after he had reached the sidewaix did hefling an apparently thoughtless question or two over his shoulder: "It's a hot evening. A”y swim­ ming in the river here?" "Some.” "Come along?” “Ain’t got the time.” “Didn’t Slinn use to’do it?” “Him? Never. He was afraid asdeath of the river, and I guess that’show he naturally thought of it to kill himieif in. He couldn't swim a stroke." Some hours later, Jerry took athird train. He possessed the valu­ able ability to mock his failures without shaking his purpose. Nearly everything substantiatedthe original reports, and the onlynewly found fact was overbalanced by them: Slinn couldn't swim and’drowning is an ideal means for a nonswimmer's murder -hut it isequally desirable In case he wantsto commit .suicide. Then there wasthat letter and the lack of anytoken of violence. The dead manhad Indeed few friends In Albany;ha seemed to have been somethingof a recluse. But Jerry wouldn't give up. Thehunch held.

(TO BI CONTINUED) POSSIBILITY OF ALLSUMMER SESSIONIn view of what has happened dur­ ing the past seven weeks of debate on the two billion dollars war appro­ priation bill' and the number of contentious issues still remaining to be debated including subjects sim­ ilar to those which prolonged the famous session of 1917 to unusual length, it is believed in well-in­ formed quarters along Parliament Hill that the present session may last throughout the summer months particularly if the same strategy is followed in future discussions. RAIDS WERE NOT UNEXPECTED Hon. J. L. Ralston, Minister of National Defence has disclosed in the nation’s capital that Canada is ready for any Japanese raids. “Raids of this kind were not unex­ pected,” he stated, in referring to recent Japanese raids on Dutch Harbour which is considered as an outpost of North American defence, “and certain dispositions have beeu made. The Canadian Commander-in- chief, West Coast Defences, is oper- ating in conjunction with the com­ mander of the United States forces on the west coast in accordance with joint ‘plans. ” • ♦ • HINT OF HIGHER FARM PRICES There has been a hint on Parlia­ ment Hill that higher prices might come in agriculture. At least, this is a distinct possibility. Hon. James G. Gardiner, Minister of Agricul­ ture, in discussing charges of low* farm prices, indicated that in many instances these prices were close to the 1926 to 1929 levels. “Some products have had further consid­ eration,” he said in Parliament. “Consideration was given to wheat earlier in the year . Further consid­ eration was given to wheat even during the last two or three weeks. Further consideration has been given to cheese since the setting of prices. Consideration is still being given to butter. There is no complete agree­ ment or anything so vague as price policy. A plan is worked out which' as nearly as possible suits all condi­ tions that are concerned.” This statement was made by Mr. Gardi­ ner in dealing with vague charges of low prices of some phases of agri­ culture in relation to the war. •. • • • BACKGROUND OF CONSCRIPTION Aa the terrific tension amongst the representatives of the people rises or falls in the nation’s capital in direct relationship to the news of the day, a veteran observer must report that the man-in-the-street throughout Canada should inter­ pret objectively and without alarm these great waves of ups and downs in the domestic situation particu- terly when compulsory legal provis­ ions replace initial voluntary efforts concentrating more on the funda­ mentals than the details of these occurrences along Parliament Hill. . Again and again whenever initial voluntary methods have failed and compulsory means have followed, tension has been produced in this war with the swing of the pendulum during the intervening time between the primary and final process since the Government of Canada must and is pledged to do everything nec­ essary to obtain final victory. In other words the interpretation by the ablest and well-informed obser­ vers is that as long as the volun­ tary efforts succeed, these prevail, but if they fail no responsible lead­ er can sit back content with the results, being forced to adopt the only other proper recourse or mode of prosecuting the action in accord- tic catastrophe would result in thewar effort if proper control was notmaintained by the man-in-the-street in the use of oil. Apparently the man-in-the-street dia not or does not understand the oil problem nor the importance of the Government’s requests. While the uses of oil and its' by­ products for burning, heating, and medication have been known for thousands of years, having been employed even by primitive races for religious purposes, yet to-day our civilization itself depends upon it and its loss or serious curtail­ ment by the democracies would not only bring serious consequences in itself but it would prevent the very struggle for the survival of civiliz­ ation. Without oil, the light of civ­ ilization in Canada as well as its war effort would end abruptly. Many newspaper columns can be written about the vital importance of oil and its by-products. Oil, in its natural or crude state,' is placed in huge containers to which proper heat is applied for refining pur­ poses. When this first process of refinement is made, gasoline is ob­ tained to motivate automobiles, tanks, airoplanes, ships, submarines and a great many other service vehicles or means of conducting or manufacturing articles of modern warfare. When another similar dis­ tillatory process is carried out, the heavier product is kerosene and this is used to light, heat, and serve countless other purposes. When still other processes of distillation are made oil is obtained for use in oil burner in homes, buildings, trains, ships, industrial undertakings and so forth. Indeed the list involves pro­ ducts of the greatest importance in the life of this nation as well as its war effort, including tn particular such a product as glycerine from which is created not only medicinal articles but also the great explosive element, nitroglycerine, *the import­ ance of which in wartime must be evident to the man-in-the-street. Though oil has been produced and used on a mass scale since 1859 when Colonel Drake employed der­ ricks at Titusville, Pennsylvania, yet it has brought in this time a great reversal of social and econ­ omic conditions in Canada as well as elsewhere. All in all, the people of Canada are richer in material ad­ vantages than they used to be prior to that time. There are more and better homes and buildings. There are more and better foods* '■here are more and better conveniences or comforts of life itself. These are due to the fact that machines of production operate more and bettor than they used to do on account of the more and better means discov­ ered for the use of oil. Without suf­ ficient oil the people of Canada would be poorer than ever before and instead of progression there would be retrogession. To-day, in thia life and death struggle, where the machine of production ia the vitality of the war effort itself, the ability'to obtain and to use sufficient oil most advantageously is th© cru­ cial test for determining the greater power or Ability of the democracies aa against the dictatorship! to sus­ tain life in their respective war ma­ chines, with this being a more im­ portant factor to a degree in decid­ ing who shall be the ultimate victor than the man-in-the-street seems to realise. It does not mean that the source of oil ia scarce in the democracies. In fact, the United States alone pro­ duces over a billion barrels of oil each yaar, with each barrel contain­ ing 52 gallons, and this is over 60 per cent of all the oil produced in the world. Russia produces about a quarter of a billion barrels of oil a ESSENTIALPROTECTION - <///, & //I'/.

DUNN year. Venezuela in South America produces about 165 million barrels of oil a year. Persia produces about 75 millions barrels of oil a year. Mexico produces about 40 million barrels a year. Irak produces about 30 million barrels of oil each year. However, again and again the Gov­ ernment of Canada has emphasized in clear and at times strong lang­ uage that dangerous and ponderous transportation problems and vastly greater needs of oil in the making and using of the modern war ma­ chine demand a precisely limited and defined use of oil by the man-in- the-street without irregularity, ex-; ception or devision in order to con­ serve it. iBut in face of all these facta yet it is no secret that this implicit obedience was not obtained by the voluntary method and com­ pulsory or rationing systems had to be enforced to obtain an exact per­ formance of the obligations, with many feeling that the Government should prosecute more firmly any violations of this enactment than haa been done up to this time. Oil is not an exceptional instance where the Government in Ottawa cannot hesitate to use the final com­ pulsory method in war time when the initial voluntary method fails. Indeed, this is the best pattern fro» which the man-in-the-street may obtain an intelligent interpretation of, the news of the day along Par­ liament Hill on any matter of con­ scription aa against a voluntary ef­ fort in order to impose equality of sacrifice whether it be for military service, finance, rations, or anything else.

Try costume portraiture, you’ll like It. A T THIS time of year picture- ** making often comes to a com­ plete standstill as far as some ama­ teurs tire concerned. The one thing, however, that never seems to be taken Into consideration is that life, unlike picture-making, is never tem­ porarily discontinued. For instance, now that winter has « '/eloped the country, are the men­ tors of your family less photogenic than they were last June? has any­ one you know changed so greatly that it is now an impossibility to picture him at all? Of course not. The only reason fewer pictures are made in winter than in summer is that pictures are pot as obvious. But on the other hand, winter is replete with possi­ bilities which are just as good pic­ ture material as any summer picnic. What are these possibilities? I’d say that costume portraiture heads the list. When the weather’s nasty that’s an excellent way to spend an interesting week-end afternoon or an evening at home. In costume portraiture there arecountless variations—each of which will make a memorable addition toyour album. And if, when you trycostume portraiture, you exercise your ingenuity in improvising cos­tumes, you won’t have to buy or * rent a thing. It’s surprising how many ordinary objects make excel­lent props. For example, curtains and coverlets can be made to serve as drapes for pictures with an Old World tang. Furthermore, it’s easyto make a turban out of a bath towel. Just pose and light these cos­ tume portraits, as you would any good indoor picture, and you’ll con­sistently secure successful pictures. Here’s another tip — Instead of single snapshots, make a series ofpictures—say in sets of three or four so that they tell a simple easily understood story. A series has manytimes the appeal of even a ririkinp single snapshot. 370 John van Guilder Mr*. George RiddleCalled By DeathThe death of Ella M. Pearson,dearly beloved wife of George R.Riddle, occurred at the family resi­dence, Lot 2, broken front conces­sion, West Oxford Township, Centre­ville, on Wednesday, June 10th,1942.

Fine spring weather had advanced the wheat far beyond normal growth and this was tVie big factor in the damage. Heads were so heavy that rain and wind damage was multiplied beyond what it would normally have been. In many fields more than half the wheat is flat on the ground. The fields are in a great state of disorder and labor requirements— already at least 1,000 hands short of what is needed in this county— will foe greatly increased. * MR RALSTON MEETS SMALLEST C.W.A.C.
