Grant Small and the secretary, Stanley R. Moon, for their efforts in arranging the de­ tails and making allocation of vol­ unteer workers to the farmers who sent in requests for assistance. Last week the committee found it possible to send help to all re­ quests that were sent in. In addition to the members of the Ingersoll Ki- wanis, Lions and Y’s Men’s Clubs and business men, a group of twen­ ty-six girls from the Morrow Com­ pany as well as a number of men from the factories registered as will­ ing to help out the farmers in their emergency. Along with a few men a group of ten girls on two evenings, set up eighteen acres of grain for Harley McBeth of Salford, and other simi­ lar achievements were reported from the efforts of the other volunteers. An average of thirty-five soldiers from the A. D. & M. S. Training Centre at Woodstock helped out on Aferee nights last week and many ■aapre soldiers gave assistance to far­ mers from the district who called at the Training Centre for them. On the whole the efforts of the past two weeks helped save thousands of dollars worth of crops that might have been lost because of a lack ' of help to harvest them. From time to time assistance will < still be needed and the public are 1 asked to lend a hand to help the fanners when they have a few spare i moments at their disposal 1 Mr. and Mrs. R. A.

A picture appeared with the article, showing Mr. Grainger being present­ ed with the keys to a new Ply­ mouth Deluxe Sedan, (which was the prize,) from David Aitken, president of the Western Ontario branch of the War Amputations of Canada. Alex. Yule, manager of the local branch of the Bank of Montreal and Samuel L. Shelton accompanied Mr. and Mra. Grainger to London to get their prize, which was the first car Mr. Grainger has ever owned. “World War Veteran Austin Grainger of Ingersoll, last evening stepped into the first car he ever owned—a gray deluxe Plymouth se­ dan, while other World war vets gave >2,407.70 to the Queen’s Canadian Fund, the largest individual contri­ bution yet made. The car was the only prize in the draw sponsored by the Western On­ tario Branch of the War Amputations of Canada, which began four months ago, and ended on Monday night when Aid. E. R. Nichols drew Mr. Grainger’s name out of the barrel loaded with thousands of names. Up and down Western Ontario The 46 men who formed the district branch of the Amps, worked to sell tickets so that help could go to Brit­ ain in a big way. They had the co­ operation of other veterans' organ­ izations, civic officials in various Western Ontario centres, the Wom­ en's Volunteer Service for Civil De­ fence and the R.C.A.F. training sta­ tion at Aylmer. Mr. Grainger himself is'a past executive and a present active mem­ ber of the Ingersoll Branch of the Canadian Legion, which has support­ ed the Queen’s Fund with many dol­ lars. He has lived in Ingersoll for nearly 30 years and for 24 years he has been buying tickets and sell­ ing them on cars, furniture, articles ' of all kinds—but the gray sedan is the first thing he has ever won. Mra. Grainger came to London with her husband yesterday and echoed her husband’s “No” to whether they had seen the car up to the time of the draw. Not a glimpse had they o> their new pos­ session and even though Mrs. Grain- ' ger won a radio last year, she was as thrilled as her husband. “That was 1 nothing compared to this!” she ex­ plained. First notice of winning the car came to Mrs. Grainger when sheheard her husband shout, "Glory, , glory, glory!” on Tuesday morning. He had read about his good for­ tune in The London Free Press. "I’m very glad that there is so ; much money to go to the Queen’s Fund,” Mr. Grainger said. "We’re j working all the time for it in our branch of the legion. The money is certainly needed over there and I ' hope that more will continue to ' come all the time.” ' The car had taken trips before its home ride last evening, manned by a driver brought specially from Inger- ' soil by Mr. and Mrs. Grainger. It stood for many a day on London's main thoroughfares attracting the gaze of thousands and guarded by Amps, but it also showed off in ' Stratford, Kitchener, Brantford, Wallacebt rg, Goderich and Strath- roy through the kindness of the may- ors in those centre*. The man who sold the most tick­ ets on the car was William Taylor, Sr., of Goderich, who canvassed his home town, although he i* 70 yean old and every Saturday night for weeks he stood on the town square and asked passersby to buy a ehanre on winning a car and sending thous­ ands of dollars to help Briton*. He sold ticket* amounting to >120—at 25 cents apiece. V. A. Burt, of thia city, headed the committee which arranged for the draw. He was assisted by C. W. Garside and W. H. Jarrell, assorts nt convener and aecretary-taeamtrer, re­ spectively. David Aitken ia president of the Amp** Western Ontario Branch." I Mrs. L. C.

The long sleeve* fell to points over the wrists. Her long veil of illusion finely pleated tulle was held in place by a band of flowers made from the-same material as her*.gown, and she carried a shower bouquet of Johanna Hill roses. Her only ornament was a lovely diamond sunburst belonging to her mother, .who had received it as a wedding gift from her bride­ groom twenty-eight years ago. Misses Vera and Myrna Logic of Toronto, were their cousin’s brides­ maids and wore becoming frocks of silk jersey and headdresses of flow- era made of the same material in chartreuse green and gold respect­ ively and carried sheafs of gladioli.

THURSDAY, AUGUST 13th, 1342 Sharp Decrease In Farm Labour Fann labour is one of the most important fac­ tors in the maintenance of agricultural production, and agricultural production is a first munition of war. However, due to enlistments in the armed forces and the demand of war industries for workers of all classes, a shortage of farm help made itself felt soon after the outbreak of war. In 1940 and 1941 this shortage became more evident and farm wages in­ creased, and in 1942 became acute in many areas, so that any further reduction of the labour supply might be expected to cause curtailment of product­ ion.In order to find out to what extent workers had left farms in different areas and to determine what labour forces remained on the farms. The Economics Division, Dominion Department of Agriculture, con­ ducted a survey of farm labour from coast to coast during the months of February and March, 1942. The survey dealt extensively with every phase of fam­ ily and hired help and wages in the various districts according to type of farming, and in effect with the loss of male hired help added to the decrease in male family workers, the result shows that the over-all reduction in the male labour supply since January 1, 1940, amounts to 240,763 persons or a decrease of 18.2 per cent The net decrease in male family workers in the two years 1940 and 1941 was estimated at 125,000. Subsequent additional enlistments and departures reduced the number of farm workers during the early months of 1942. The net loss in farm family workers between January 1, 1940 and March 15, 1942, is estimated at 141,863. The net increase in male hired workers between January 15, 1940, and January 15, 1942, is considered to have been 99,900. In detail, male family help on farms in 1942 aver­ aged 126 for every 100 farms a, substantial decline from 141 in 1941. The range was from 111 in British Columbia to 144 in Quebec. A total of 31 female family workers per 100 farms was reported as assisting with farm work in 1942. There was a sub­ stantial increase in female family help on dairy farms. Coal For Next Winter Residents of Western Ontario, who heat with coal, are urged by the Regional prices and supply represen­ tative, W. Harold McPhillips, to get a supply in their bins as soon as dealers can provide it. Mr. McPhilips gave this advice on rcceivinb word from J. McG. Stewart, coal administrator of the Wartime Prices and Trade Board, who has told all Canadian house­ holder* to accept delivery of any suitable size or combination of sizes. In the operations of U. S. anthracite mines, Mr. Stewart points , out, there are produced in varying proportions about eight different sizes of coal, of which egg, stove, nut and pea are generally used in domestic heating. At present there is a scarcity of stove size and many householders are faced with the prospect of doing without it. People should take advantage of the available supply of other sizes, the administrator says, and use whatever size their dealer can supply. At the present time, pea coal is most easily obtain­ ed from the mipes. It gives economical heating and can be used by itself or in combination with other sizes. Acdoidirqgly, the administrator advises coal consumers not to wait for any particular kind or size of coal. “Ask the advice of your coal merchant or impor­ ter," he suggests. “They know the market condition and can advise what size will suit your particular equipment and which can be delivered promptly. Accept delivery of any suitable size or combination •f sizes. It is vitally important to Canadians that they have their supply of fuel in the bin* before win­ ter begin*. Take advantage of the supply and sizes of coal now available and avoid the hardship that a shortage of coal is bound to bring. Do not through neglect or carelessness make fuel rationing necessary in Canada.” In view of the fact that several United State* to­ bacco workers are employed in Elgin and Norfolk Counties on the incoming tobacco crop, Wartime Prices and Trade Board baa received several in­ quiries regarding sugar ration coupons. Individu­ al cards will not be issued to these transient workers, but they will be classified as harvesters and persona supplying them\*ugar will be entitled to use special purchase vouchers,- but the allotment must not ex­ ceed one ounce per man per meal. Live Bait Frozen By Price BoardHere w th* prise fish story of the 1942 ssason. The Wartime Prices and Trade Board has ruled that prkM charged for live bait must not be higher than those charged last summer. G. P. Sabioton, Adminis­ trator of sundry items, pointed oat that the price ceiling regulations cover all kinds of live bait. This will be of mterwrt to the thousands of anglers in Western Ontario and also to the visitors from United States who spend their vacation in Ontario.

BRITISH INDUSTRIES— From Robert Williamson —.Yorkshire, the Midlands and Scot­land.NEW TYRES FOR OLDThousands of old tyres a month are now being made new for the British Army in a pottery works in Staffordshire. Long-(trips of tread rubber lie piled in a stateroom which was once the decorating shop. Covers for giant tyres are being vulcanised over pits where china clay used to be left to keep it damp. The finished tyres are stored. fl Worn tyres come to-day from the Army's transport lorries, motor cycles, and trucks, not to mention from the other Services and from buses and the Civil Defence organ­ isations. Wih a fraction of the rub­ ber needed for a new tyre, they go back rejuvenated, fit to do again the milcage they have already done. Three hundred workers have been trained by key men from Fort Dunlop to do the job of re-treading. Two thirds of them are women. In the moulding shop, once a pottery store, are miners dischargedj^rom the pits for physical disability. '* The pottery people have not sur­ rendered the whole factory.

They are helping to defeat their former oppressors by making glycer­ ine for explosives,.textile and leather service equipment, optical glass for binoculars and periscopes, diamond cutting tools, electrical equipment, metal alloys, plywood, and many other manufactures directly used in the war effort. Over one hundred industries en­ tirely new to Britain have been es­ tablished there by refugees since Hitler came to power, and valuable processes recorded only in the minds of the inventors are at the same time Germany’s loss and the Allies’ gain Many of the refugees came over with little but their ideas and de­ signs, all their equipment and most of their capital having been aban­ doned.

A barn raising brought help from miles around. Skilled bam framers took charge; sides were chosen and com­ petition between teams lent interest to the work. This old Canadian custom was revived when Canada's National War Finance Committee was formed and went into operation. Under the leadership of the Natiodal and Provincial Com­ mittees—men experienced in the organization and conduct of financial operations—Local Com­ mittees. were formed ih all communities. Co- operuticqi and competition characterized the work. The biggest “rafeing” in Canada’s history got away to a magnificent start.

Such a possibility is easily foreseen. Indeed, if any critical situation should develop in the war, or if the opposition should demand it, there is no doubt that reasonable consid­ eration would be given by the Gov­ ernment to the reassembly of Par­ liament before the fixed .date when such action would be advisable in the public interest. FARMERS AND EXCESS PROFITS TAX It has been disclosed in Ottawa that a farmer may be liable for ex­ cels profits tax under certain condi­ tions. This has been revealed when a group in Western Canada believ­ ing that it was their duty to with­ hold their crop two years ago on ac­ count of the large crop, the great difficulty in marketing, and the short crop of last year, disposed of the two crops in one year and found themselves liable to excess profits tax, though they had no in­ come the year before. When a ques­ tion was raised on this point, Hon. J. L. Ilsley replied: "They can apply to the board of referees for an ad­ justment of their standard profits. "Then he added that hd did not know how they can be relieved from paying taxes on the unusual profits for the year in which they sold two ^crops. OPPOSITION ACTIVITIES In the interval or recess of Par­ liament, the Official Opposition, that is the Conservative Party, is stated to have plans for helping the party’s organization throughout Canada. Moreover, it is also reported along Parliament Hill in well-informed sources that three or four seats, now held by members of the party, have1 been offered to the RL Hon. Arthur Meighen as head of the Con­ servative Party. It is presumed that the Conservative Party is anx­ ious to be fully and thoroughly pre­ pared for any eventualities during the recess or interval of Parliament, with these preparations being made both in regard to the party’s strength and leadership in the House of Commons and in the country it­ self where last year Gordon Gray- don, member for Peel, visited the constituencies across the land for organization purposes. THE MOST SIGNIFICANT DISCLOSURE A touch of realism and a proper analysis of the most important news from the nation’s capital indicate to ar. experienced observer that new ard glorious pages in Canada’s his­ tory are being written because the- representatives of the people, re­ gardless of their political affiliations J the occasional storm of debate, are fairly co-operative on the whole in this war. To a surprising degree, they accept the fact that Canaoa is at war against such dangerous and desperate foes that they must ad­ just themselves and they must do willingly everything in their power in the interest of national safety, pven if this should cause them to sacrifice some of their past opinions, present comforts and political fu­ tures. The most significant disclosure of this highly important reaction is seen in the gradual lessening of opposition to conscription for over­ seas service, though countless sen­ sational stories were widely circu­ lated throuhout Canada that this issue would cause the most excit­ ing, the most relentless, and bitterest battle ever seen along parliament Hill. Indeed it was openly and loud­ ly proclaimed on all sides that this issue of conscription for overseas WILSONS ’ 10 CENTS PER PACKET WHY PAY MORE? service would destroy national unitybeyond repair. However, when theactual reaction of the representativesis analysed, it is discovered that the whole structure of the opposition to conscription for overseas service has seas service, was given its first read­ crumbling into smaller and smaller segments until it is almost ready to disappear. When Bill 80, which entails the principle of conscription for over­ seas service, was given its first read­ ing in Parliament, Premier Macken­ zie King spoke for about one hour and he had a manuscript of about 37 pages, with the galleries crowded and the members' tense as the Gov­ ernment’s Bill 80 was upheld by a vote of 158-54. When Bill 80 was given its second reading, the oppo­ sition from the Province of Quebec was 47, but, when Bill 80 was finally passed in the third reading, only 37 from the Province of Quebec oppos­ ed this legislation. In other words, the opposition against conscription for overseas service was definitely and gradually lasing its strength amongst the members and in realify it was petering out quickly. But even this was not the real, nor the whole story. If reactions, behind the scenes along Parliament Hill as well as actions in Parliament were properly analysed, there was much more to consider or to weigh in the mind for the man-in-the-street in Canada because between the lines there was the history-making sug­ gestion that finally conscription for overseas service was deemed un­ avoidable if and when it was impel­ lent for Canada to enforce it by conditions of war. “The Province of Quebec as she was unable in 1917 is unable to force her views on the majority of this country,” said Hon. P. J. A. Cardin, who resigned as Minister in the King Government on account of Bill 80 and who was the leading force behind opposition to conscrip­ tion. “She has no intention of impos­ ing her veiws on the majority if they want conscription. But, Quebec has the right to express her own opinions in the councils of the nation. "The minority cannot rule, but let me say in all kindness to the majority. I do recognize the sover­ eignity of the majority in Canada and the Province of Quebec will sub­ mit the legislation that is going to be passed. But, if the minority can­ not dictate its views to the major­ ity, the majority should hesitate be­ fore applying the heel of the major­ ity upon the minority of the country. “Exercise your authority, you members of the majority, but with kindness, not in the Hitler or Musso­ lini way. Exercise it in such way that the feelings of those' upon whom you exercise the authority by force of numbers are not hurt to such a point that it will be hard and will take a long time to cure what you have caused by your words and actions, “The people of Quebec are law- abiding citizens. They have proved it in the past. They will prove it in this instance. When the law enacted, although it is the worst law that has ever been passed by a democracy in Canada, we will submit to that law. There will be no trouble. Just as (he opponents of the con­ scription for overseas service law showed a passionate eagerness for delay, the propagators of this law displayed a similar pasion of impa­ tience towards any policy of delay or an irritability towards any dis­ position for delay. Moreover, Hon. R. B. Hanson, leader of the Official Opposition, charged that Premier King and his Government had passed through five different phases in the gradual de­ velopment of the Government s pre­ sent attitude on conscription for overseas service. First, there was the period from March to June, 1940, when there was to be no con­ scription under any circumstances. Second, there *as the time in Nov­ ember, 1941, whene there was to be no conscription without consulting the people. Third, there was the oc­ casion of Feb. 25, 1942, when there was to be conscription only if the voluntary system failed. Fourth there was the time on June 10, 1942, when it was said that con­ scription wts nqt now necessary and may mever become necessary, though Parliament was asked to de­ cide the issue. Fifth, there was the latest move which Hon. R. B. Han­ non set forth aa “conscription ia not now necessary and may never be­ come necessary, but if the Govern­ ment should decide it is necessary, it will eome to Parliament for a vote of confidence prior to enforcing it. “In other words, he indicated the slow progressive steps that were taken by the King Government on conscription, though “conscription is a living necessity for total war”,concluded the Leader of the Offic­ial Opposition.Premier King, torn between thetwo direct opposite views, has char­ged that deliberate efforts are beingmade to destroy him and to destroyconfidence in the Ministry electedto carry on the war. “I think I knowpretty well the confidence the people have , in me,” said Premier . King, “and. I am not afraid to go to the people at any time.” Furthermore he offered to give the representatives of the people of Can­ ada an opportunity to move a want of confidence motion. “And if it carries no one will leave office quicker than I will,” stated the Prime Minister. When the question was raised what would happen if the vote of confidence was against him and if he would ask a colleague to suc­ ceed him or ask for dissolution of Parliament, he replied: “When the time comes what I will do will de­ pend upon what I think is in the na­ tional interest.” Then he added sig­ nificantly that if the Government de­ cided that conscription for overseas was necessary, he would support that decision, though he would offer the Cabinet’s decision to Parliament so that the people’s representatives can say whether they have confi­ dence in him as head of the Ad- -ministration or prefer another. In simple everyday language, it means that while countless sensa­ tional stories with screaming head­ lines have described the issue aroundthe enactment of conscription for overseas service as likely to be re­ lentless and stubborn yet a proper analysis by an experienced observer discloses that this description does not tell the true story about the happenings along Parliament Hill, with the remark that it is regarded now, as it has always been consid­ ered. as inevitable if conditions warranted its enactment—(Repro­ duction Prohibited.)

KHCHMBI, ONTARIO Page 4 THE INGERSOLL TRIBUNE, THURSDAY, AUGUST 13, 1942MILK-LEADER OF FOODS Adults don’t drink pnough milk and children can scarcely have too much of it. It is the one food we simply cannot afford to do without, it is the foundation of an adequate diet, and is nature’s aid to health defense. Dr. J. F. McCreary, in the current issueof* Health Magazine states that one cannot secure an adequate quota of vitamin B2 without the habitual use of milk. Adults should form the habit of drinking milk, the energy food. A Simple Rule Professor Henry C. Sherman, dean of food chemists, says: “At least as much should be spent for milk (in eluding cream and cheese if used) as for meats, poultry and fish.” Why Milk? . • Milk is one of the least expensive foods, if you consider its food val­ ues. Milk contains: Proteins: of highest quality for growth. Minerals: calcium, phosphorus, some iron. Vitamins: A, Bl and B2 Fat and sugar: for energy’. Milk has no equal among foods as a source of calcium. If the food we eat does not furnish enough calci­ um, the bones will be drawn upon for the calcium needed in other parts of the body. Bones and teeth need adequate calcium. Milk is easily digested, too. A cup of milk, warm or cold, slowly sipped before going to bed. often helps one to relax and go tu sleep more quickly. For Every Age Infants: Milk, with only orunge juice and cod liver oil added to the diet, sustains the baby entirely for the first weeks of life. Young children: Need 3 to 4 glasses daily. Big boys and girls: Require 4 glasses or more daily. They need plenty of calcium because they are growing fast. PICKLING SEASON DEMANDS STONE CROCKS—Gal. Size to 5 Gal.

THE MIXING BOWL«y ANNt AUANHydrv He<e* t<*a«M<«* Adults: Need at least 3 glasses each day either plain or in cooked dishes, or cheese. And even old folks need calcium to keep the bones strong (2 glasses daily). For Children Physicians prefer milk which is not very rich in cream (or fat) for children. Children are better off with whole milk than cream on cereal. It is better for children to learn to drink and like just plain milk, for then they enjoy it as it is com­ monly served. Bottled.. Dried, Evaporated Milk is used mostly in these form?: Bottled: whole milk, skimmed milk, buttermilk. Dried: dry whole milk, dry’ skim­ med milk. Evaporated: evaporated unsweet­ ened milk. Comparative Value About the same food values will be found in: 1 quart of fluid whole milk 1 pint of undiluted evaporated milk 5 ounces of Canadian cheese •!’£ ounces of dried whole milk 3J~ ounces dried skimmed milk, plu£ ounces of butter Both Food and Drink One advantage of milk is that it comes ready to serve. But good cooked dishes such as cereals in milk, cream soups, pudding and hot breads often contain milk. Free copies of ready reference vitamin chart which explores the sources of vitamins, are available on request to the Health League of Canada 111 Avenue Road Toronto, Ontario. Another booklet which tells of pleasant ways to use milk in cooling summer drinks is also free f:r the asking. A postal card will bring you either or both. JAM JARS ON THE ASSEMBLY LINE Hello Homemakers! Now is the time when those who have fruit in their own gardens or who buy it in large quantities will be thinking about conserving it by making it into jam. You can make use of the fully ripened fruit and 'put your jam into odd jars without tops since you will be using the inex­ pensive method of covering .with melted wax. To prepare the fruit, just pick the fruit over, then wash it. Weigh the sugar. To draw the juice out of the berries, cover them with the sugar and allow to stand overnight. When heated in this sugar-juice mixture until a syrup is formed and the berries are hot through, they absorb the syrup and tend to “plump up.” That is what you want. Then leave your berries in the syrup to cool—to help this process. The mass can then be cooked or slowly con­ centrated in an electric oven set at a temperature of 25O’-275*. A quick method of making jam is the following: Prepare fruit, .weight, then crush with a wooden potato masher. Blueberries and hard berries may be run through the food chop­ per. A short cooking with the addi­ tion of a small quantity of water— before the sugar is added—helps ex­ tract the pectin from the fruit. Add sugar (% lb. to 1 lb. fruit, or sub­ stitute 3 cups light corn syrup and two of the cups of sugar), stirring into the boiling mixture and cooking until a good jelly test is obtained. If the fruit does not contain pectin or acid, either may be added as in jelly or preserves. Commercial pectin directions are easy to follow and this method saves both time and cost of fuel. RECIPES Damson Plum Jam (Requested) Wash 4 lbs. plums and cut in half, removing the pits. Break a few pits and add kernels to the fruit. Pour % cujl water over every 1 lb. plums and heat slowly to boil­ ing point. Cook gently for one half hour. Measure and add an equal quantity of sugar. Simmer one hour and pour into sterilized containers. Seal at once. • • • Ripe Gooaeberry Jam 1 qt. ripe gooseberries, 3 cups sugar, 1 cup cold water. Wash gooseberries and remove stems and blossom ends. Add water and cook until skins are soft. Ad J. sugar and cook rapidly until thick and clear. Pour into sterilized con­ tainers and seal when cold. Pear Marmalade To every pound of peeled and cored pears which have been sliced very thin add % pound of sugar, la ounce of green ginger root, scraped or grated, and half a large lemon. Place the pears in the preserving kettle in layers, sprinkling each with sugar, lemon juice and grated gin­ger root. Allow to stand 2 or 3hours, then heat slowly to the boil­ing point. Cook until clear andthick. If preferred, the ginger rootmay be crushed and placed in a littlebag which can be removed from themixture before pouring into glasses.TAKE A TIP 1. Because of the chemical nature of honey, syrup tends to froth easily at boiling point; therefore use a large saucepan. 2. Grasa stains may be removed by rubbing in thick hot soapsuds. If a stain remains, bleach with javelle water or hydrogen per­ oxide. If the material is not washable, sponge with wood al­ cohol. 3. Surface mildew may be removed with javelle water. Deeply grown mildew is almost imposs­ ible to remove. Try soaking garment in soured milk and spread on green grass out in the sun. If the material is not wash­ able, apply potassium perman­ ganate until mildew is removed and then apply oxalic acid. THE QUESTION BOX Mrs. R. T. asks: “Why cannot honey be used to can raspberries and cherries? Is it possible to use all honey to can peaches?” Answer—Honey has the tendency to take out the colour in these fruits and make them slightly tart. Exper­ iments prove that most people prefer to substitute 1 cup honey for 1 cup of every four cups of sugar required. Mrs. S. M. asks—“What will re­ move stick fly paper from a rug?” Answer—Scrape off as much as possible, rub with kerosene or car­ bon tetrachloride, then sponge with a cloth wrung out of warm water. Mrs. J. B. says—“Jelly which was made from juice that had been div­ ided and put into two kettles, turned cloudy from the liquid made of the first batch. Answer—Cloudiness may be due to having cooked fruit too long be­ fore straining off the juice, and the light particles of the skin would be floating in the liquid made from the top liquid. Stir liquid constantly while, making jelly on your electric range. Anne Allan invites you to write to her c/o The Ingersoll Tribune.

Betweerrs^ugsut 24 and Septem­ ber 8, the rural mail couriers will pick up all the scrap rubber that is left at rural mail boxes and bring it in’to the post offices that will act as salvage depots for rubber during these two weeks. There are five' rural carriers in the area surrounding Ingersoll and they serve about 400 farm homes daily. Patrons of rural post offices who call for their mail are being ^»sked to bring their scrap rubber ■4c' the post offices. Each mail carrier will be given a sack in which he can place the small rubber articles while he is expected to pile the larger articles such as tires into his car as they are. The facilities of the postal* ser­ vice are being contributed gratis in this work and the routes covering ever}’ populated area in the Domin­ ion are expected to bring in hun­ dreds of tons of scrap.

CARR RECEIVES COMMISSION R.C.A.F. headquarters in London this week announced that H. C. Carr of Ingersoll, had been com­ missioned a pilot officer. Pilot Officer Carr has been overseas for nearly a year and the news of his promotion has been received with much pleasure by his many friends here. * Howard1 Carr, who is perhaps better known as "Mike”, is the youngest son of Mr. and Mrs. A. F. Carr, King street west. He was born in Kitchener but the family later moved to Toronto and it was from that city that they came to Ingersoll about 21 years ago. He attended the Victsry Memorial Public School and the Ingersoll Collegiate Institute and is a gradu­ ate of the Westervelt Business College. At the time of his enlist­ ment in January, 1941, he was the accountant at Kestle's Garage. Ac­ tive in many sports, P. O. Carr was known in the district as an excep­ tionally fine tennis player. He was a valued member of the Ingersoll Tennis Club and was also active in badminton circles. .Following his enlistment P. 0. Carr was stationed at training schools at Picton, Moncton, N, B.. Victoriaville, Quebec, Mount Hope and Dunnville. He received his wings at Dunnville in October of last wear and went overseas shortly afterwards. Since his arrival there he has been engaged in instruction­ al work. Pilot Officer Carr’s wife, the former Helen McDougall, resides with her parents, at 157 Wonham street OXFORD RIFLES SEND THANKS FOR HORSESHOES An appeal was made locally a few weeks ago, on behalf of thy Oxford Rifles, who are now stationed at Prince George, B.C., for sets of horseshoes, and as the result Edward Long and Fred MoKee turned over five sets to the Ingersoll Kiwanis Club who paid the express on the horse shoes and forwarded them to Major J. C. Herbert, acting second in command of the regiment, The following letter has been re­ ceived this week by Henry I. Stew­ art, president of the Ingersoll Ki­ wanis Club from Major J. C, Her­ bert: The Oxford Rifles, Prince George, B. C. August 5th, 1942 The Ingersoll Kiwanis Club, Ingersoll, Ontario Dear Henry—The five sots of honeshoes which you forwarded to the unit arrived yesterday and I hasten to express to you our sin­ cere appreciation and thanks for the gift. I understand through your efforts, they have been donated by private citizens, and we would like if this expression of thanks could be passed on to them. It happens that very shortly a battalion sport* meet is to be held and the shoes which we received will help greatly in making the afternoon’s programme a success. Lieut W. R. Marshall arrived back to the unit thia put week from a course at St. Marguerite, Quebec, near Montreal, and is now acting adjutant. Lieut Carrie Wil­ son should be back from a course at Long Branch shortly. It ia our intention to get all the boys from Ingersoll in the unit together shortly. There have been so many on courses and scattered around that this hasn’t been feasible be­fore this.

Sincerely, J. C. Herbert. The Kiwanis Club wish the thanks passed on to Mr. Long, and Mr. McKee for their donation of the horseshoes and the club will be willing to forward any other don­ ations that may be left with them to the boys at Prince George. The Fight For Democracy — by — Eveline A. Long When so many people are writ­ ing and talking and expostulating with so much vehemence on the beauty and utility of democracy, I, for one, begin to wopder how much we have ever had or now retain. Like the Lady Rosalind of Shakes­ peare’s “As You Like It,” who pro­ tested too much her disinterest in Orlando and so in the minds of others, confirmed her interest, so we conversely protesting, our great and undying love for a dem­ ocratic form of government, may be proving we have it now. At all events, if we ever did pos­ sess it wholly we no longer do. We are being gradually stripped of our lovely and all-enveloping robe of democracy, as a piece here and another there in being torn away, until all that hides our poor frame work, is an abbreviated built-clout. For Heaven's sake, let us cling to that and refuse to become the abash- ed nudist our government would have us. The majority are not even aware of the strip-tease-act, or if it is, takes a vicarious pleasure in the performance, forgetting that some­ day it is going to feel pretty cold when totalitarians winds really be­ gin to blow. I suppose it is only too true, as J. B. Priestley says in one of his essays, that it is easier, requires less thought, less fight on our part, to be a good totalitarian than to be a good democrat, just ae it ia easier to. be a good soldier than a good citixcn. The one simply obeys oiders without question, while the other, must think things out for himself, work for himself, and fight for himself, if he is to retain the rights of democratic ctizenship. But if it is easier and that i* what we want,, by all means let us have it Only be honest about it and say we have dictatorship, not pretend to some- thing we’d like to have, but are too complacent, too idle, to care suffic­ iently to make a stubborn stand worth while. If anything but disaster come* out of this war, it should be the fixed idea' that democracy is not something we have and cannot lose, but that preciou* something that has been foujrht for from the beginning of the time of crrillxod man; that it has grown by slow degrees; that tyrants of many ages haw ts ied to destroy it entirely; that millions have died to retain or restore it and that it must continue to be fought for. even to the end of time. It ia lost in eso and comfort and sloth, it 1* found and retained in effort and struggle unceasing. HEALTH LEAGUE ofCANADA I An industrial health sound slide film, “Take Care of Yourself," is reviewed in the current issue of Health Magazine published by the Health League of Canada. Unslike slide films of the straw­ berry-festival-magic lantern era— which consisted for most part of post cards showing*scenes of Grant’s Tomb or the Great Wall of China— this film has definite human interest. It contains sound advice on health given by a genial doctor and a pleas­ ant nurse in conversation with Jim, hero of the play, who punches in for work one morning after a night of over-indulgence in food, drink, cigarettes—and lack of sleep. Jim protests that a fellow has to get some fun outsort life. “Right,” answers the doctor, who proceeds to explain that good health enables a fellow to work better, play better—• and get more fun out of life. “Take Care of Yourself," one of a series of slide films dealing with industrial health education, will be shown in Canada under the auspices of the Industrial Division of the Health League of Canada. Jim is a typical factory worker H around whom the story of “Take I. Care of Yourself” has been sketched. * He is very woozy one morning. Goes, to the doctor’s and asks for some­ thing “to keep me on the job," He gets a tablet from the nurse—and some incidental advice from the doctor, Jim becomes interested, asks questions and the doctor answers them under the headings of: Rest; Food; Recreation and Exer­ cise; Cleanliness; Mental Attitude. The give and take of dialogue be­ tween Jim, the nurse and the doctor holds interest from the beginning and neatly gQts a lot of information across without resorting to a lengthy dissertation on health. Plant and personnel officials may secure further details from the Secretary, Industrial Division, Health League of Canada, 111 Avenue Road, Tor­ onto, Ontario.
