Room 4A—Grade 111 Verschoyle—The death of Mrs. Harry Allison, formerly Pauline Pollard of Verschoyle, occurred early on Christmas morning at Alexandra Hospital, Ingersoll. Following a brief illness, her death came as a great shdek to a wide circle of friends. The late Mrs. Allison was the younger daughter of Milton Pollard and the late Mrs. Pollard of the fifth concession, De re ham Township. She died in her 38th year, A graduate of London Normal iSchool, she had taught in Newark, Byron and Ver­ schoyle Public Schools. She was an active member of all local church and community organizations. The funereal was held on Sunday, Dec. 27th, from Verschoyle United Church, following a private service at the residence. During the service, conducted by Re*. A. Taylor, Mrs, Arthur Reed san* “Some Day He’ll Make It Plain To Me.” The pall­ bearers were Francis Moultoq, Floyd Little, Ralph Swartout, Fred Rich­ ens, Wilfrid Smith and Naboth Dan­ iels. The flower bearers were friends and neighbours of the deceased. The many floral tributes bore testimony of the esteem in which Mrs. Allison was held. Besides her husband, she is sur­ vived by two sons, John, aged 7 years; Frank, 6 and one daughter, Elaine, 15 months old; her father, Milton Pollard; one brother, John, of Dereham and one sister, Mrs. Charles Brooks of Aylmer. Interment was made in the Mount Elgin Cemetery. The Kiwanis Christmas party was held at the St. Charles Coffee Shop on Tuesday night, Dec. 22nd, every­ one acclaiming it a great success. When men, who have been under the added strain of Christmas work get together with the intent to relax and have fun, fun it really is, all joking on every side. Frivolous bits of verse accompanying the toys were read and added much, amusement to the party.There stood a smartly dressed and really festive Christmas tree, bear­ ing its burden of gifts, to the Ki- wanians first, and then to be passed on to the King’s Daughters for dis­ tribution in their Christmas boxes. Even Santa was not too tired to do his part admirably, the old gent, after millions of miles of travel, still had a genial word for each one! S. L. Shelton took the part splen­ didly, distributing the gifts. Heath Stone, the inimitable song leader, opened the program with the the singing of Christmas Carols. Carl May and Leo Stilwell of Till­ sonburg, gave much pleasure with their delightful violin and piano duets, rendering “Ave Maria”, and "Silent Night,” two of the most beautiful numbers ever written. The Kiwanis Club treated members of the second Ingersoll Wolf Cub pack to candy, as they paraded into the banquet hall. President H. I. Stewart thanked the members for their fine and up­ standing co-operation during his term of office, speaking of the great spirit of willingness shown on the part of each member in an effort to make the year an outstanding one, showing the true spirit of Christmas in their lives each day of the year. To our correspondenta ,who sent in their copy early enough to be used in last week’s Tribune, we heartily extend our thanks. We realize the effort it must have been during the busiest week of the year, and we appreciated the early arrival of their copy. It was mighty hard to write up news with the turkey need­ ing attention and the guests almost at the front door, but the very bus­ iest people are those who are always ready, willing and able to do just a little bit more. We are also grateful to those who tried to help us but didn’t succeed and we accept the will for the deed—better luck next time. The holidays are rapidly goinfc, but we still extend our greetings and good wishes to all our corres­ pondents and hope to become better acquainted in the new year that is ahead.

WEMP to her hnsbaad, Cecil Hunt, and all BRITISH ISRAEL WORLD FEDERATION Page 2 THE INGERSOLL TRIBUNE, THURSDAY, DEC. 31, 1942OTTAWAWEEK BY WEEK— By Dub Wilton —UNAVOIDABLE DELAYSWhen Premier Mackenzie King ex­pressed a willingness to facilitatethe opportunity of the new head ofthe Progi -sive-Conservative party,Hon. Joint Bracken, in the latter> test or effort to gain a seat in the House of Commons, it is believed in usually well-informed circles along Parliament Hill that this dis­ position was Motivated simply so that the Hon. John Bracken may take his proper place as soon as possible as the newly chosen leader of the Official Opposition in Parlia­ ment. However, in part at least, and besides other points, there are cer­ tain formalities or provisions in such an election proceedure which causes unavoidable delays. Time is pre- acribed^for the printing, examination, and so forth of the voters' lists, and afterwards enumeration of these voters’ lists must start on the 49th day before the aetual voting takes place in the division with the result that these formalities or provisions require quite a lengthy period of delay. In ocher words, delay of Mon. John Bracken's entry into Par­ liament in the new session cannot be rushed outside of these limita­ tions or formalities, If he succeeds in entertering the House of Commons, though Premier Mackenzie King hasexpressed a desire to facilitate thisevent.MANPOWER and the FARMERThe important statemnt in Wash­ington by Paul McNutt, Director ofManpower in the United States,that no compulsory measures willbe exercised m labour affairs untilit is absolutely essential is consid­ered to be of great significance in the capital, particularly in view of the widely publicized Mitchell-Lit­ tle dispute when this angle of Can­ ada's policies was brought into the limelight in dramatic style. Then again, conferences have been held in the capital between Federal Gov­ ernment agricultural representatives and those from the various Provin­ cial Governments and these may bring forth in time important re­ sults since the necessity of produc­ ing more and more food was urged strongly on all sides, with this likely to force sooner or later con­ sideration or studies of measures that ought to be taken to solve theI urgent problems of labour on farms, ; farm wages, etc., so that these may j be more satisfactory. CONSULTATION OF PROVINCES After suggestions had been made many weeks ago by various organ­ izations which supported such a policy, the Government in Ottawa has moved to curtail the consump- raves about his brighter shirts HUSBAND: Gosh. Lucy', my shins have a brand-new look thia week. How did you do it? v W»f.- Easy as jne! I just put a touch of Sunlight Soap at the extra-dirty sputa. Then, when I washed the clothes ray usual way. Sunlight's "extra-soapin«s“ just eased out the dirt and greaae. WSBAND: Great stuff! No "half- washed" bok about the clothesthis week. NV* Kforythin^ la so much FOi A SfiM E lilf WASHING JOB SUNLIGHT to more money for better living andmore luxuries in wartime. Oftensome people misinterpreted thegreat need for more saving andmore rationing, more taxes, moreeconomic or manpower controls,more scrap collections, and soforth. Often some people consideredcontrols, orders or changes to beunpopular because they seemed tointerfere in some small comforts,little conveniences, or personal pleasures. In other words, these people hove narrow individual or lo­ cal viewpoints instead of the broad, nations scope of the., imperative need and proper effect of these essen­ tial wartime measures in Canada's wartime economic control machinery. In fact, Donald Gordon, chairman of the Wartime Prices and Trade Board in Ottawa, has declared in ref­ erence to the whole future of price control that the pressures which are developing on every side ^re tre­ mendous. In short, if all the people could develop a national viewpoint in re­ gard to wartime economic controls instead of narrow, local or individual judgments, there would be a better perspective of understanding the objectives, savings, and accomplish­ ments already achieved in a com­ paratively short time by Canada’s controls so far in this war, though unfortunately it cannot be said that such a complete understanding of proper perspective of the real situ­ ation on the part of all the people does exist. There is now authoritative evi­ dence in Ottawa which, if compre­ hended in a proper national range of vision rather than on a local or in­ dividual scale, would convince the people about the true values alrcady achieved by some wartime economic controls. As a result of men's clothing re­ strictions, it is estimated that tion of liquor by decreasing its man­ufacture, the quantity released frombond, alcoholic contents, and estab­lished a ban on its advertising,though it is stressed in Ottawa thatbehind this new policy is a temper­ance only and not prohibition asrumoured, especially in a story cir­culated some weeks ago about sucha movement.IMPORTANT PREPARATIONS At the present time there is a marked increase of momentum in the activities on Parliament Hill as pre­ parations are made for the new session of Parliament opening in January and there is a strong im­ pression that this gathering will provide much valuable news for the man-in-the-etreet since there are many important subjects which are due for an airing or enlightenment as well as consideration by the people’s representatives, including a huge new appropriation bill, finan­ cial and economic issues, selective and military service, post-war plans or problems, and so forth, with the reorganized official opposition under its new leadership, new name and new policies more than likely to enliven the proceedings and to pro­ duce most interesting developments. THE REAL CAUSE After the authorities in Ottawa had expressed real concern about the pressures which had been affect­ ing the future of price control, there followed measures to keep down the retail prices of certain foods. Behind the effort is the fact that the cost of living index in Can­ ada had gone up eight-tenths of a point from October 1 to November 2, being 117-8 on the former date and 118.6 at the latter period. Of course, this rise did not mean that the cost of living bonuses would be changed since these are only altered whan there had been <a point change in a three months period and the next adjustment had not been sched­ uled until the 15th of February, 1943. However, a close examination of the cause for the latest rise in the cost of living index had revealed that it was attributable wholly to the increase in the prices of certain foods, with the food index going-up from 129.8 in October to 132.4 in November and the principal factors in this increase being the rises in prices of beef, oranges, butter, po­ tatoes, lard and lemons. PROMOTIONS TO THE RED CHAMBER There are many vacancies still existing in the Upper House, the Senate, in face of the numbert of new appointments made recently to the Red Chamber by Premier Mac­ kenzie King and it is known along Parliament Hill that there is no lack of sitting members who would like to move into the Senate. However, though undoubtedly more appoint­ ments to the Senate will be made in time, yet an opinion seems to pre­ vail backstage along Parliament Hill that these will not be made in such brighter now that 1 use the easy Sunlight method of washing.Grimy work clothes come spot lessly clean in no time; without bard rubbing, either!

Fairly melts away grease. And Sunlight goes a long, long way even bt hardest water. large numbers or in such manner aa to force many new by-elections at this particular time, with the usual experience in the capital being that such moves are generally made only, if at all, on the eve of a gen­ eral election or appeal to the coun­ try which seems out of the question at this moment. IT IS A PEOPLE'S WAR Behind the avalanche of current developments along Parliament Hill, it must be mentioned now by thU veteran observer that one of the most important is that the authorities in charge of this country’s wartime economic controls are gradually effecting very deeply the lives of the whole civilian population to such an extent that the proper meaning of "a people's war” is becoming more tangible day by day and los­ ing any air of unreality that may have existed amongst some people. Indeed, it is clear now that the sharp effects of these far-reaching controls are entering or are about to enter so deeply into every ^ome in Canada and into every life that the meaning of a "people’s war” implies now more than a mere ex­ pression because the civilians, the people, are going to be almost as much on a war basis in many ways on the home front ‘as the armed forces on the military front. It cannot be denied that this meaning of "a people’s war” has not been always properly recognized by the people themseftes and this has been due more to plain ignorance than any malice. This is obvious by the flood of suggestions, comments, adviee, and criticisms which have accompanied the enactment of some of these controls or the appointment of some of these men to enforce or tc act upon them. Often civilians have been in no position to bee* judge these measures Often some people even seemed tn believe that war conditions warranted better work st better pay or entitled them enough material will be saved toprovide a uniform for every man orwoman in Canada's armed services.When plumbing restrictions elimin­ated 1,139 lines, it is consideredlikely that -Canada’s .work in thisdirection will save enough steel toconstruct 250 medium tanks. Everypound of waste cooking fats that isbeing saved by restrictions in com­mon use will produce for Canadaenough glycerine to make one and one-third .pound of gunpowder or two pounds of waste fats will pro­ duce enough glycerine required to fire five 87 mm. anti-tank shells, with the remark that glycerine is' used for gun recoil mechanisms and floating compasses.. Every ton of bone that is being gathered by re­ strictions will supply for Canada's war effort over 200 pounds of fat for glycerine, over 300 pounds of glue which is the main source of animal glue for aircraft, about 100 pounds of animal feed and about 1000 pounds of fertilizer. Simplifi­ cations and standardizations of note­ paper, writing pads and envelopes will save for Canada’s war effort no less than $500,000 worth of paper in a single year. If Canada’s indus­ trial accidents alone in the last year, which cost $6,200,000 and a loss of 10,000,000 productive man hours, were conserved, curtailed or saved somehow, it is estimated that, tflfch- latcd into terms of needed war equipment, there would be provided ten minesweepers or 24 hehvy bomb­ ers, 26 flying boats or 40 motor torpedo bouts. And numerous other cases can be quoted. The masses of this country must understand that behind the war­ time economic controls in Ottawa there is a common objective for all the people without provincial, local or individual boundaries in order to face a common danger and to win ^Iheiie H a p la c e f a y &l/f i n th e At&uf, S t a ii l the Aea* fyeao b u jhl htf ojjfaitUf. tfouo AeOdceA. to. qoao counbuf,. d e c id e wheAe tfan. can tjiue Ute. tfA ealeii kelp, in winning.

One evening Totnkinson asked; “Why doesn’t a ground squirrel leave any dirt around the top of his hole when he digs it?" After some deliberation he was called up to answer his own ques­ tion. "That’s easy," he said. “Th* squirrel starts at the bottom and works up," “All very nice," suggested a mem­ ber, “but how does it get to the bot­ tom?” ‘That’s your question,” answered Tomkinson. Life's CompensationsSometimes it is .well to pause andthink of the compensations dealt outto us by an invisible hand, as seem­ ingly do we receive the hard knocks of lift- from an invisible source Some call it bad luck, no chance, etc., but .perhaps we unconsciously decide our own fate, who knows? Nevertheless there seems to be a compensation for every ill if we look for it and dig deeply enough among our piles of self pity and blindness. Here are some of life’s compen­ sations; nature is different, wonder­ fully different, when she deals the oyster an irritating bit of sand, she also deals out the ability to turn it into a pearl. She creates great moun­ tain heights but gives man the strength to climb them; she provides the instinct for eagles to build on i murderous looking precipices and turns the babies out of their nests with but an instructive knowledge of how to fly, but she gives them that little strength as capital to be­ gin with, and ho.w strong do they become. To Helen Keller, nature we may think, dealt a raw deal. She is blind and deaf and dumb it is true, but nature also gave her that marvelous sense of touch and a great mind and a wonderful teacher. Even in the great change of day and night, we have compensation for the darkness in the dawn. So when we come face to face with life’s hard blows, let us look further ahead for the compensation that (follows it. We cannot grow in strength if The daughter of a wealthy but hard-working manufacturer wan being courted by an indolent man. The father did not like this type and frowned upon the affair. One evening he called the young man aside and asked: “Now how about money? Can you keep going?” The suitor stammered out: “I I—I’m afraid I can’t very well.” “Then don’t keep comin*,” said the father tersely. Ric o b a c FOR A Ml J.

Only as he is able to reason, as he is able to think things through to a conclusion is he any higher than tho animals of for-’ est and field. They act entirely from instinct, that God-given modus oper- andus that calls for no reasoning, but simply demands that they fill their bellies and reproduce their kind. If man by his machinations against the Creator, his disobedience to His fiats, brings endless trouble to himself and yet fail^ to deduce therefrom, he is doomed to fail, for only as he gathers together his evi­ dence and draws from it the right deduction, can he go forward. We are now, in this our day of gigantic struggle reaping what we have sown. We had our premises long ago by which we might have deduced war and so avoided it, but we didn’t. We simply ignored all that pointed the way to prevention; deluded our­ selves that the way of overt blind­ ness was the way of peace. We <Sdn*t want war, but we didn’t de­ duce from the evidence about us that we must therefore work for peace. ,We could have known the result of our inertness, but we con­ You’ll never be satisfied with anything else once you See RINSO WHITENESS T TO W FOOLISH to be satisfied with an ordinary wash—-when it is so easy to get the whitest clothes you’ve ever seen!

A divinity professor was asked to preside at the baptism of the latest arrived infant in the already crowd­ ed home of Hie minister of the par­ ish. The professor gave out for con­ gregational singing one of the para­ phrases often used on such occas­ ions in Scotland. “JLet us,” he said, “sing from the second verse, ’As sparks in close succession rise’,” To his consternation he observed that the congregation seemed unable to repress a tendency to giggle. Afterwards, asking the minister’s man what had been wrong, he re­ ceived the reply, “You see, sir, the minister’s name is Sparks, and yon­ der is his tenth bairn.” THE INGERSOLL TRIBUNE, THURSDAY, DEC. 31, 1942 ( MOSSLEY Hr, and Mrs, Robert Facey anddaughter of Hamilton, spent Christ­ mas with Mr. and Mrs. R.

Two factors that play an Impor­ tant part In securing appealing out­ door pictures are the time of day you take your pictures and ths way you pose your subject la regard to the direction of the light For instance, the best hours for snapshooting are fairly surly tn ths morning, say about two boars after susrkse or araud two hours before saasst Ths ta then Mt too high in the sky. and produces not essly brilliant highlights. but creates ia- terestlng shadows.

QI-SNAPSHOT GUILDlLANDSCAPE PHOTOGRAPHY It pay* to include objects, such as these trees, in the foreground of yourlandscape pictures. T ANDSCAPES always have been•*-* —and probably always will be— popular picture subjects. But there’sa technique to making good land­ scapes. and the photographep- whowants to consistently produce first rate results will do well to keep it in mind.The technique is based principal­ ly upon a theory of selection. Most beginners try to include too muchin each picture. Therefore, the first rule for successful landscape pho­ tography is to select your subjectcarefully. Aim for simplicity in ar­ rangement and composition; avoid overcrowding. Beware of extreme­ly general scenes. Don’t always try to picture a whole valley or moun­ tain range with one snapshot. Ahalf-dozen pictures, each showing one interesting portion of the pano­ rama, will result in much more en­ joyable and appealing snapshots.Second, learn to avoid subjects which appear to be divided into two equal parts. For example, some­times a tree will Be standing in such a position that it seems to be cutting the picture in half. In an­ other case, the horizon line mayrun directly across the center ofthe snapshot. The exact center of any picture is usually its weakestspot so don't concentrate too much attention there. Technically, the secret of goodlandscape pictures lies in straight forward photo technique. However, here are a few tips. Look for sidelighted scenes. On most outdoor shc*s use a medium yellow filterf it will help you get cloud ef- fefs, And finally, to add depth to your picture, include some object such as a tree, a bouse, a person, or an animal in the foreground.Notice how the trees in the fore­ground add depth to our illustration. This picture. Incidentally, illus­ trates the type of landscape effectsyou can get at the sunset hour. But most important of all, just take the time, and devote somethought to working out your land­scape pictures. You’ll be well re­ paid with higher quality results. 396 John van Guilder MOUNT ELGIN and Doris and Mr. William Prousewere in Toronto on Saturday at­ tending the funeral of the former’suncle, the late Mr. Robert Winter­ mute of Toronto, Mr. and Mrs. Donald Fleming andlittle daughters, Louise and Marie of Ingersoll, spent the Christmasweek-end with Mr. and Mrs, John Fleming and Mr. and Mrs. HarleyJoliffe.

Salvage 1943 By Obser­ vation and Application For some people New Year’s Eve is a very solemn occasion, to be ob­ served with prayer, with regret and lamentation for the year that has passed and a wistful happiness in contemplation of the New Year. For others, it is the gayest of holidays given over to the abandon of pleas­ ure, a sudden frenzy of forgetting, in an effort to lose the cares of the present in a dizzy whirl of gaiety, forgetting the things that matter, utterly regardless of awakening to the reaction of the night before or to its consequences. By observing New Year’s Day, we* find it has ever been, from time in­ numerable, a quiet and comfortable day, of family reunions and of thoughtfulness for others; a day of hopeful beginning of great enter­ prises, a day for meeting old neigh­ bours and for making new acquain­ tances. It is a day of mystery, when we stand on the edge of the un­ known that we are bound to meet, and as we stare into the mysterious darkness we wonder what will come out of it for each of us. Some of us see a rift in the darkness and a new light breaking through to show us the way to be calm, the road of good counsel that leads to success; and we feel that only by careful observation and great ap­ plication can our year of 1943 be salvaged from the ^haos and wreck of world events.

Let’s remem­ ber the happier things for a spell and dwell on the spirit of good fellow­ ship, of thought for others, of heart warmth and old-fashioned cheer— for this is Christmas! Yes! We shall keep Christmas. This year we will celebrate it more quietly, more simply. But the boys across the world—on land, at sea or in the air—will be able to think of us, at home, keeping Christmas for them. The Christmas season will mean more to you, if you follow these three simple rules. 1.. Look back to your very hap­ piest Christmas and say, "It will be that way this year—we’ve so much to be thankful for.” 2S Decorate—even though the materials are simple. There may be no Christmas tree ibut there will be evergreen sprigs, popcorn, cranber­ ries, red and silver streamers and lots of other things. 3. Plan special menus for Christ­ mas, adding a festive touch to each meal. If this is something you haven’t tried before, then it will be a surprise for the family and they’ll love it.

Turkey Soup Break turkey carcass in pieces, removing all stuffing; put in kettle with any bits of meat that may have been left over. Cover with cold water, bring slowly to boiling-jgoint and simmer 2 hours with switch turned to "Low.” Strain, cool, re­ move fat, and season with salt and pepper. One or two outer stalks of celery may be cooked with carcass to give additional flavour.• • • TAKE A TIP: 1. Make red oilcloth place mats for the Christmas table They may be placed on top of the linen cloth for everyone’s plate—the cloth must do for the holiday week. 2. Where will Santa Claus put the presents this year? Around the fireplace, on the decorated buf­ fet, or in a huge snow ball made by two hoops covered with sheets and sprinkled with arti­ ficial snow, opening at the side. 3. Trim the table with an idea in mind—a miniature church, an original floral arrangement, or tiny cardboard uniformed girls or men, if one of your guests is in uniform.

After providing for Dominion Government taxes amounting to $2,014,166 and making appropria­ tions for bad and doubtful debts, profits for the year amounted to $3,390,123, which represents a slight reduction as compared with the pre­ vious year’s figures. From these profits dividends amounting to $2,- 625,000 were paid, $315,000 appro­ priated for the Pension Fund and $400,000 for iBank Premises.

THE ROYAL BANK OF CANADA General Statement, 30th November, 1942 ROYAL BANK FIGURES REACH NEW HIGH The steadily mounting tempo of Canadian business is strikingly re­ flected in the Annual Balance Sheet just issued by The Royal Bank of Canada for the year ending Novem­ ber 30th. Total asset* are well over the bil­ lion dollar mark and now stand at $1,291,615,947, the highest point ever reached in the history of the bank. Deposits by the public, topping the billion dollar mark, have likewise reached an all-time high. The liquid position has been still further strengthened with quickly realizable assets representing 75.44% of the bank’s liabilities to the public. From point of view of aggregate assets and liquidity this year’s statement is the most impressive ever issued by the bank. Profits for the year show moder­ ate contraction due to increased Do­ minion Government taxes, higher operating costs and the fact that comparatively low yields are being obtained on the substantial sums invested in Government bonds. Total assets have increased by more than $216,000,000 over the figure attained Uie previous year. Liquid assets show marked expand sion and aggregate $906,440,239, as compared with $681,916,309 a year ago. Liquid assets include Dominion and Provincial Government securi­ ties, $519,801,346 as compared with $371,231,959 the previous year.; United States and British Govern­ ment securities, $46,029,701 as com­ pared with the previous total of $6,912,060, while cash on hand and deposits with the Bank of Canada, other cash items and bank balances are $261,884,476, up $27,805,766. Current loans in Canada stand at $255,148,401, an increase of $13,- 365,000. It is understood advances made by the bank to assist pur­ chasers of the recent Victory Bond issue account for this increase and that ordinary commercial borrowings are somewhat lower. The explanation is that activities of many businesses have been diverted to war product­ ion, resulting in rapid turn-over and prompt settlement of accounts; fur­ thermore, inventories are, generally speaking, lower. A* a consequence many concerns And it unnecessary to borrow from the banks. Current loans outside Canada are down by slightly over $16,000,000. Total deposit* are higher by $225,- 000,000 and now stand at $1,181,- 217,192. Dominion Government de­ posits at $144,162,823, are substan­ tially higher and this b attributed to the Government depositing with 1 the bank* the proceed* of the recent Victory Loan. It is interesting to note that despite substantial with­ drawal* by the public for the pur chase of Victory Bota*, public de­ posits (excluding Goveranwnt de­ posits) have increased from $♦«,- t **.**3,0*1 JU 8____THE INGERSOLL TRIBUNE, THURSDAY, DEC. 31, 1942PSYCHOLOGY AND CHILD 'NUTRITION SALFORD Mr. Roy Morris of Toronto, was aholiday week-end visitor at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Page..

Practically every child exper­ iences some period during his life when feeding becomes a problem— in some this is early in infancy and in others later in life; in many it passes unnoticed. Parents must ap­ proach this problem sensibly and with the proper attitude if the diffi­ culty is to be eliminated, for child­ ren discover early in life that their refusal to eat can be a potent weapon in their hands. If parents can accept the (problem calmly and unemotionally, the child will quick­ ly find that his bid to hold the centre of the stage has failed and no more trouble will be experienced. Far too often the dinner table is made a battleground or an amuse­ ment park. Scoldings or the bringing up of unpleasant incidents which have occurred during the day should be avoided for they* play havoc with both appetite and digestion. The mother, too, who makes the other members of the family indulge in circus antics in order to get little Tommy to eat his dinner is making a bad mistake. Nutrition authorities tell us that it does no harm to treat the child as one would treat an adult; allow him to have some food preferences and allow him to exercise them. Forcing him to cat foods which he dislikes will not only strengthen the dislike for these particular foods, but will make all eating unpleasant.. Try to substitute foods and menus which the child does like. Adults frequent­ ly have the satisfaction of choosing from a variety of menus in restaur­ ants—why should not not the child have similar satisfaction in exercising some degree of choke in his meals? After all, though Pop Eye may hap­ pen to like spinach, that does not mean that spinach is the only way that Jimmy can getJmb quota of nu­ tritive elements.New foods shoffd be introduced slowly and in small amounts, since the eventual attitude of the child toward food will depend much on the way in which the food is first Ring Out the Old Ring In the New Once more we are coming to the end of another year. For some it has been a year of gladness and of plenty, while for others it has been a year of sorrow and want Pros­ perity on one hand, dearth on the other; but whatever has been our lot, as we draw toward the closing hours of the old year and sum up the total good and ill that has been dealt us, we may give thanks and take courage to go on into the dawn of the new year with hope. Before another issue of The Tri­ bune reaches its readers, the year 1942 will have vanished into the realm of the past; this has been a year of tragic headlines, of divers and diverse happenings.. It has been said that years are what we make them, that man is the architect of his own destiny, but with the ab­ normal conditions of recent years, we feel that man is less in control of circumstances. Napoleon showed his disregard for circumstances when he said, ’’Circumstances? I make circumstances.’’ But times have changed since Napoleon’s day and even he was not master of his destiny. Life is so complex that it is difficult to unravel the skein of per­ plexities that one is is called upon to deal with in our everyday affairs. The New Year is opening up to us a new vista of hopes and aspir­ ations, bringing us new responsibil­ ities and possibilities.. Let us not be discouraged, kt us make our future plans, our good resolutions for the coming year, they act as a tonic to the soul. Let us resolve to live more nearly by the Golden Rule. The old year has not been a fail­ ure, much has been accomplished, and plans laid for still greater strategy bring an end to this dreadful struggle and to give peace and truth and justice a chance to survive. Great deeds of sacrifice and charity have helped to illumine the darkened condition of the world and man is learning that he is his brother’s keeper as the bonds of good will and fellowship strengthen, sometimes it takes sorrow and dis­ aster to bring out the finer qualities in mankind. And so we go forward to meet 1943 with a welcome, a hope, a prayer, that there may be dawning, not only a New Year for our sad­ dened old world, but a new era of love and understanding among men. May all of us be happy and con­ tent in the year to come—Rich in faith and courage as well as in materia) necessities.

Too much regularitymakes eating uninteresting and mon­otonous, as do too lurgi servings., Every child should be permittedto.enjoy the feeling of mild hungerthat stimulates appetite—yet manyparents insist upon feeding theirchildren.so often and so much thatthey never experience the pleasur­able sensation of being hungry and the even more .enjoyable sensation of satisfying this hunger. On the other hand a healthy child should on occasion have the fun of eating be­ tween meals and of raiding the ice­ box. Skipping a meal or two has never hurt any healthy child and is often desirable. R. E. Wenip, Field Secretary For British Israel, Here Sunday On Sunday evening, January 3rd, in the parish hall of St. James* Ang­ lican Church, Ingersoll, at 8.30 pm., sharp, a lecture entitled, "Britain in Prophecy and History," will be de­ livered by Mr. R. E. Wemp, Field Secretary for the British Israel World Federation. Mr, Wemp, who is known from coast to coast, has just completed a tour through the Maritime Provin­ ces, and Ingersoll is indeed fortun­ ate in being able to seedt^his ser­ vices at this time, as he will go on to the Pacificc Coast at the end of January and will not return until June. So it is hoped that all citizens of Ingersoll and vicinity will avail themselves of the opportunity of hearing this outstanding and elo­ quent speaker.. All old friends and new comers will receive a hearty -welcome and find that their time has been well spent. “New Year’s Eve” From Ceremonial of Common Days By Abbie graham On New Year’s Eve I am at home to the Future. I wait to hear her ring the doorbell of the world. 1 only do expectant things on this evening. 1 write a letter to an un­ known person who has done some­ thing that I admire, a person whom I would like to know. I make two New Year resolutions, one rather idealistic, the other extremely prac­ tical. The former is more for spec­ ial occasions; the latter is for rough everyday use. "To stop accumulat­ ing bundles when 1 travel," has been a very successful resolve of the latter type. Another in this same category I recommend highly, "When in small towns use my mouth for purposes of food and ventilation only.” There is no hurry on this evening. With much leisure I make preparation for the guest who is to come and for the gifts that she will bring. 1 set my house in order. There is always a keen sense of failure when I find that its appoint­ ments are so meagre, it’s proportions so in adequate. I would have any house more in keeping with the royal character of my guest * Before I am aware of . her ap­ proach, a mighty shouting heralds her coming. I open the door. The gorgeous guests from afar sweeps in. In her hands are her gifts—the gifts of hours and far seeing mom­ ents, the gift of morning and even­ ings, the gift of spring and sum­ mer, the gift of autumn and winter —She must have searched the heav­ ens for boons so rare. What happiness there is when I awake to find near me the gift of a morning! New Year Resolutions . The idea of New Year Resolutions has become a sort of standard joke, occasioning "a laugh" for the stage comedian or the cynical fellow who is tired of life, just because he does not believe in making resolu­ tions, they are made to be broken, he jibes; but whether they are broken or not la another issue, the fact that he dt-sires to make th- m at all is an excellent step from the old year into the new. We are traditionally supposed to swear off our bad habits on January 1st.. If oqe of us takes this standand makes ~a solemn resolve at New Year’s to abandon that miserable vice which has held him prisoner for years, chained to his lower our friends smile tolerantly, per­ haps with their tongue in their cheek and give us about two wrtki to forget all about it. But let that be as it may, if we are to amoinY to anything we must cherish definite aims at the beginning of a new year. The Chinese custom, if at all pos­ sible, is to pay all debts before the end of the year. Human nature must look ahead and plan ita work or little win be done. Those who consider that 1943 wiB be the «ame as 1942 are tn danger of standing atm. and while we are making out ottr hrt of new aims, we are not thoroughly wise nnteaa it Includes some correction of our per­ sonal habite. Raise AU the Beefand Hog* Possible“There is only one direction inwhich a mistake can be made in con­nection with the Canadian agricul-tual program for 1943 and that is inproducing too little,” said Hon. James G. Gardiner, Dominion Minis­ ter of Agriculture, at the Dominion- Provincial Agricultural Conference held recently in Ottawa. He made this statement during the discussion on estimated requirements for meat pro­ duction for 1943, and urged encour­ aging farmers to add weight to their beef chtte before marketing. Referring to hog production, Mr. Gardiner said that if the objective of about 8,000,000 hogs was to be reached in 1943, each section of Canada must produce the outside figure that was set for such a section. The wheat farmer of Western Can­ ada could raise more of the quota of hogs requested than could fanners elsewhere in Canada. He could now safely breed all the sows available. Farmers in the Dominion should raise all the beef and all the hogs possible throughout the next two years, said Mr. Gardiner. Grow Young Along With Me — By Victoria Fraser — There is no human species so rare as a beautiful old person. 1 once knew an old Scotch lady who had the most lovely face; it had the peace, the sweetness the beauty of a Summer loch; it reflected its owner’s soul. Once in a bus station I saw a very old Indian woman; her face seemed carven almost, with its saffron hue and its intricacy of lines drawn taut over high cheek bones. With her racial peculiarity, although she looked me she appeared to be unaware of me; she was looking with unspeakable sadness at a remoteness I tried also to comprehend. I felt small and apologetic; mentally I apologized for every cruelty to which her race had ever been sub­ jected to by my race. She, too was beautiful, beautiful in the spirit, re­ signed and wise. Most of us think that with a cer­ tain amount of scholastic learning we know all. Booklearning is good but as nothing compared with spir­ itual wisdom; and it is wisdom that sculptures beauty on old faces— the sense that always there is something to be learned, unnumber­ ed people to love with understand­ ing and that this life is only a moment in eternity. We excuse ourselves from the zest of life with age and age has nothing at all to do with it. It is usually when men and women re­ tire that they decline in mental and spiritual powers. People who spend themselves find always the mine of inner reserve ready to step up their faculties and they find this by trying to live balanced lives of work, play, love and worship. When you pray you commune with God, you strive unutterably to become as one with Him as the drop is part of the endless sea. The more you try the more perfect the continuation in the life hereafter for the life hereafter is jnst you going on end­ lessly, you and you and YOU. "They shall not grow old, as we that are left grow old: Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn. At the going down of the sun and in the morning We shall remember them.
