It was announced that the Boys’Band is going to present a concertof sacred music in the near future, at St. Paul’s Church. Max Poole gave the addre<s of theevening and chose as his subject,“The Tobacco Industry.” He discuss­ ed the growing and handling of to­bacco from the time the tpbacco isplanted as seed till it is packed inbundles. He confined the many oper­ations which are typically carriedout in the Norfolk area. A light sand or sandy loam soil isrequired. Areas which were formerlyconsidered desolate and usele» arenow* the best producers of this crop. Around the first of April, the seedsare planted in a muck isoil in thegreenhouses. One ounce of seed wil sow 1400 square feet, which inturn will produce enough plants tofill 18 acres of land. The care andtreatment of the young plant weredealt with and importants stepswere pointed out. The field planting season startsabout the 24th of May, when all dan­ger of frost is over. The growing period varies from 60 to 90 days de­pending on the season as it must beharvested before the fall frosts. The plants are pulled out of the green­house beds and are planted by theplanting machine which is fed by two men. The plants are spaced 23“apart and the rows are spaced 40“apart. One machine will plant ap­ proximately 3 acres per day.Plants which later may be strickenby cut worms, grub worms or wire worms, are planted by hand.The cultivation is limited de­pending on the condition of the soil. It is important to keep the soil wellstirred up and free of weed.s.When 10', of the plants are inflower the*tops are broken off. Theamount -ut off depends on the judge­ment of the topper on his forecast of the oncoming season. The nextoperation is the muckering, in whichthe feeders are Stripped from theplant. Near the end of the growing season the priming takes place. Theleaves at the bottom of the plantripen first and begin to turn a yel­lowish green. These are cut off andplaced in boat’. Five primers workto one boat. When filled the boat’ arc drawn by horses to the kiln.Here the leaves are unloaded ona table at which four leaf handlers work. They tie about 33 leaves ontoa stick. One handler can tia about650 to 800 sticks in a day. Each kiln holds approximately 1400sticks. The curing lasts from 4 to6 weeks and is carried out by a specially trained cureman. In thissection flue cured tobacco is themain type produced. The pipes run through the kiln from end to endand radiate the heat necessary. Coalor w'ood or a combination of both is generally used.. Gas is very satis­factory but prove* expensive. Thetemperature is raised to 80 ar 90 degrees Fahrenheit depending onthe weather outside.' Under properconditions the leaves are yellowed. The temperature is then raised to115 degrees to dry it out and thenheld at 160 degree* for 3 to 5 day*.The stem and veins remain greenlonger but after 2 or 3 week* in thepack barn they turn yellow also. The sticks are then placed in a spec­ial steam room where the tobaccosteamed to give it the proper mois­ ture content The tobacco leaves arethen taken off the stick*, placed inboxes, pressed into bails, tied and wrapped with paper and stringready to be shipped to the manu­facturer. Various photo* were shown illus­trating the tobacco plants at differ­ent stages of their development and showing the many types of opera­tions which are carried out in theindustry.

BANK SERVES LOCAL COMMUNITY 74 YEARS Canada’s oldest banking institu­ tion—the Bank of Montreal—on Tuesday observed the completion of 125 years of service to the people of Canada. Founded in 1817, half a century before Confederation, the bank is today a nationwide institu­ tion with branches from coatst to coast Jus the bank has served the people of Canada without fail since its foundation in 1817, so for nearly 75 years, its Ingersoll office has en­ deavoured to work for the ad­ vancement of this community. By reason of the services it has ren­ dered to the people and business interests of Ingersoll, the bank has aided materially in the growth of the town and the development of its trade and industry. The local office of the bank was opened in 1868 and at that time, although the population was about 4000, there were few buildings of note and no civic improvements. The only industry in those days was agriculture and, as the town was in a rich dairying district, it became famous for it* cheese. While the dairying industry is still important to Ingersoll, during the intervening years many new industries have sprung up, which have aided in its development and today the popula­ tion of the town is around 6000. During this development the bank has already endeavoured to further the interest of the community and has indeed been a partner ine the progress achieved. There hav? been many managers at the local office during the past 74 years' and these men have been among the prominent citizen* of their day, having taken a keen in­ terest in the welfare and activities of the community as a whole.

A fire occurred early Saturdaymorning that will mean a big loss to the firm affected and also to thetown, when the big dry goods store of the Northway Company on thewest -■ide of Thames street, was re­ duced to ashes together with an ex­ceptionally heavy stock. The sport­ ing goods and musical instruments’store of Bowman and Co., north of the Northway Company, suffered aJik_- fate; the book store of James Back from scores of bombing raids over a dozen countries, this young airman has found adventure in the skies! lust out of his ‘teens, an eager youth in years, he's a veteran in experience. He's a first-line fighting man, trained in the science of war at 5-milts-a-minute! He and his buddies in R.C.A.F. air crew are team-mates. Gunner, Wireless Operator, Bomber, Pilot, Navigator—all work together as a smooth, swift "attack team" in a giant bomber. Their targets accurately surveyed in advance by daring reconnaissance pilots—their flight protected by the blazing guns of fighter plane*—the bombers wing their relentless way to smash Nazi nerve-centres. The expanded Air training Plan has room for more men who want to be with these fighting comrades of the skies. Right now applications are being accepted for air crew duty, at R.C.A.F.

Meantime, available tin is under Government allotment and control. The Administrator of Metal Containers has ordered that the canning of Pork and Beans be discontinued, for the time being, in order to conserve the present tin supply for the canning of only essential perishable foods. Pork anddBeans in the familier cans will now bo replaced with "home made" Pork and Beans by the resourceful homemaker, because she will buy Ontario White Beans and cook to her favourite recipe. PINEAPPLE JUICE a ~ . a This favourite fruit juice largely comes from Australia and the Hawaiian Islands—all in the Pacific War "Zone." Importations from Hawaii are "out" in order to conserve Canadian dollars. These are select cheese, carefully matured in our tempera­ ture and humidity-controlled rooms. You can use less butter by substituting OLD oheese.

ALPINE CLUB DRINKS A — — . . A — The manufacturer pf the famous f J *A l p i n e Club Ginger Ale and Lime Rickey is subject to the Government order in council restricting the use of sugar to 70% of the quantity they used in the same period last year . . . and, have definitely refused fo include sugar substitutes in their manufacturing as a means to over­ come thq sugar restrictions, preferring rather fo stay with the accepted standard of quality that our customers have enjoyed for many years, which accounts for our being "out of ftock" occasionally. 5c CANS TOMATO JUICE A The tin ’conservation program al»o ~ shoulders the responsibility for the discontinuance of the 10-oz. size can, and we surely all agree that this curtailment will not cause any particular hardship. The 20-oz. size can is now the smallest sized can permissible, and for small families, the contents of the larger sized can, transferred to a suitable glass container after the first serving, will retain its flavour and freshness for a reasonable length or time if kept in a reasonably cool place.
