Completes Half a Century
of Business in Ingersoll
On Wednesday, February 3rd,1943, Mr. Fred A. Ackert completedhalf a century of business in Ingersoll, and we spent an interestinghour with him in his office, which
he built 29 years ago. Mr. Ackerthas found life very interesting andenjoyed the half a century of business life to its full degree, makingmany friends as well as business
connections, and making a success oflife in general. In reminiscing, Mr.Ackert told of how his father hadcome to Ingersoll in 1853, when the
"Great Western” was being builtand hed helped to build the grainwarehouses on Victoria street afterwhich his father returned to hishome town, Glen Williams, coming
back to Ingersoll in 1865, when hestarted in the wooden pump business,and the name of Ackert has been inbusiness in Ingersoll ever since,Fred A. Ackert was born onCottage Avenue, Ingersoll. Hestarted out in life ns a wood turnerat the Bennet Furnishing Co., London, and in 1893 came home totake over his' father’s wooden pumptnd tank busness, and he has beenin business here since that time, February 3rd, 1893. Mr. Ackert developed the business into general wood
work and went in for considerablespeculative building, wood turning.He also took part in hog gambles,which sent thousands of them from
Windsor to New Brunswick. He hasbeen in the coal business 20 years.When asked what he thought ofCanada as a country to live in, withits cold winters, Mr. Ackert replied
that it was a fine country, that thecold was alright and that cold countries are vigorous and progressive.Mr. Ackert has been very promin
ent in the social activities of thetown and in St. James’ AnglicanChurch of which he is a staunch andextremely active worker. He waspeople’s warden for three years and
in those days, he says, the wardenwas the financial man and there wasmuch to do. He superintended thebuilding of St. James’ rectory and
jointly with Mr. John Lee, put thenew roof on the church. He wasalso chairman of the building committee, during the building of theS. James’ Parish Hall.
Mr. Ackert is one of twelve children, six boys and six girls, elevenof whom lived to grow up. He was
one of the ffnt Anglicans to be chris
tened in St. James’ Church. Hemarried Nettie Adair, daughter ofthe late Samuel and Mrs. Adair in1899 and birth: their home on Wil
liam street, where they still live.Mr. and Mrs. Ackert have threechildren, two sons and one daughter.He has seen a great many changesin Ingersoll, from the odd gas lampin the street, to electric light, andfrom the old wooden pump to thewaterworks. Ouside of the two newspaper offices, Mr. Ackert had the
first electric motor for power purposes. He remembers when the C.V.R. (Credit Valley Railway), wasbuilt in the town of Ingersoll. Wenow have the C. P. R. in it* place.
His father and three older brotherswent to Port Dover on the first excursion of the C. V. R. and therewere wooden benches down the
sides of the coaches.Mr. Ackert was on the SchoolBoard for 20 years. He was chairman in 1908 and chiefly responsiblefor the building of the Ward
School. He was one year in theTown Council. But ab^ut the pleasantest of memories he recalls were thedelightful fishing expeditions inconxpany with Mr. F. H. Adams and
Mr. John Lee, and he doesn't thinkthere is any finer place than theirold haunt, Tobermory, at the end ofthe Bruce Penninsula, 55 miles northof Wiarton.
The Tribune joins with the scoresof Mr. Ackert’s friends in wishinghim the continued success he hasenjoyed in business in the past and
may years of health ad happiness.

appreciation hoping that Joe willsee it when he gets his Tribune"over there.” We are proud of allour Ingersoll boys doing their big bit
in bringing the long-looked forpeace to our (beloved Canada and soto the world.

Over 2,000 Western Ontario far
mers have filled out applicationforms required before they canslaughter livestock. Up until Jan. 1,no permit was required, but afterthat date a permit was needed fromthe Wartime Prices and Trade Boardand applications are still rolling in.states W. Harold McPhillips, Pricesand Supply Representative, WesternOntario, Wartime Prices and TradeBoard.
The trouble is, says Mr.’ McPhillips.that many of these application formshave to be returned to the farmer
for more complete information. Tothe question, ’’number of livestockslaughtered by you in 1940 and1941'," many farmers write "I don’tknow. I didn’t keep track." However, authorities believe that the■average farmer has a fairly accurateidea of this data and this, being true,hp should 'fill out the number to thethe best of his ability—even if itisn't entirely accurate.
Another question frequently notanswered property is “what percentage of the meat you have slaught
ered is sold by you?" Farmers arerequested to give their best estimate if correct figures are not available.Don’t forget a permit is needed
by any person who slaughters livestock for sale, or ha* livestockslaughtered for him, if thia meat issold or offered for sale in fresh,frozen or other processed form.The only person who doesn't need
a permit is a farmer who slaughterslivestock for consumption in hisown home. If he sells part of the animal, or slaughters for another farmer, he needs a slaughtering permit

kidney basin, 1 thermometer. 1 tooth
brush. 1 bed pan, 1 hot water bottle,
1 pail.Quotas—Quotas are being receivedwhen required. As wool and mater
ials are very difficult to obtain under
• the Government restrictions, we areI not being asked for a large number
: of articles at a time. As certain
materials are available quotas using
' what they have on hand are asked. for. A'e have been very fortunatej in being able to obtain locally, a fine
type of wheeling wool for seamen’s’ long stockings. They are very much• needed and we hope those who have ,• been knitting them will continue to
do so as long as this wool can be
obtained.
Another reason for reduced quotas
is the fact that so many demands
have been increased for supplinespurchased at Headquarters that weare asked to send 70r/t of our RedCross funds to the Provincial Society, leaving 30'r for the use ofbranches to purchase wool and materials and quotas have had to be re-
12073.01
Operating ................................$ 64.38
Total .......-....................... $3889.89
This amount is less than last yearand is accounted for by the fact thatduring four months no wool was obtainable and sewing materials weretoo scarce* some materials were offthe market entirely. About 52% ofthe purchases were made locally andthis speaks for itself of the co-opera-ation we have always had from thelocal merchants.
It is the subscriptions of the Ingersoll people, through the WarCharities, and those of the ruralaffiliated Units, which make our RedCross work possible and we sincerely hope that this generous supportwill be continued through the coming year.
Any report of the work done bythis Branch would not be completewithout a tribute to the untiringservices of the ladies assisting atthe rooms.Mrs. Byron Jenevy, assistant convener of war work, and in charge ofthe sewing, deserves much credit forher careful attention to the many
details that require consideration.Supervising the cutting-out of materials and keeping the necessary records of what is given out and returned, requires a lot of time andeffort and this is much appreciatedby all concerned.Mrs. A. P. Gundry, with her assist
ants, Mrs. C. K. Long, Mrs. M. Turner and Mrs.. G. Hills, is doing asplendid job in looking after thewool department. We are very proud
of the ktnitted articles shipped toheadquarters, both quality andquantity are excellent. ’The rooms are in use four afternoons each week:
Monday—Shipping: Mrs. AustinGrainger, convener; Mrs. E. Neill,Mrs. J. M. Malcolm.Tuesday-Cutting: .Mrs. B. Jenvey,Mrs. James McKenzie, Mrs. A. Tat-tersall. Mrs. George Stephenson,Miss N. Sutherland, Mrs. T. Hammill, Mrs. F. McDiarmid.Thursday—Cutting: Mrs.. J. A.

and Mrs. Gundry are in chatge,assisted by their committees, Mrs.W. Weld, Mrs. C. K. (Daniel. Mrs. L.Sommer, Mrs. J. M. Malcolm.To every lady working in the RedCross rooms, to the War Councillors and the splendid bands of workers whom they represent, we would
express our sincere appreciation ofyour service during the past year.We have enjoyed working with each-other and hope that the result ofour combined efforts will show thatwe are doing what we can to assistour country in the war effort so necessary at this tme.Press—To the Ingersoll Tribuneand the Sentinel-Review we wouldexpress our thanks for the spaceallotted to us at various times.
Through these channels we have beenable to give monthly reports ofshipments made to headquarters aswell as notice of any special appealthat was received and requiredimmediate attention.Respectfully submitted,(Mrs. James) E. W. Malcolm
