A., $2.00 FLOOD AND WATER CONTROL DISCUSSED BY TOWN COUNCIL L.S. David G Webb Wed* Franklyn I. Spenceley Support the Red Cross Mayor Daniel Gave Report ofMeeting Held . in London Regarding Flood Control and Water Control. On Monday evening the regular meeting of the council ,was held in the council chamber, with a full at­ tendance of the members. Mayor K. Daniel occupied the chair and con­ ducted the business. Town Clerk R. McNiven read the minutes of the last meeting, which were adopted as read. There were no petitions, enquiries nor unfin­ ished business brought before the chair. The reports of the various committees ,were also read and ad­ opted. These had to do with the payment of accounts relating to their various committees. It was moved by Councillor Bower and seconded by Councillor Smith, that the usual $15 space be placed in the special edition of the Sentinel-Review. Mayor Daniel gave a report of the meeting held in London last Friday, where delegates bordering the river Thames met to discuss flood control and water control affecting these districts from Stratford to Chatham. After the disastrous flood of 1937, requests were made to the govern­ ment to alleviate the causes of the flood conditions but these were turn­ ed down. The authorities in Toronto are now in a receptive mood and are willing to meet a deputation concerning this matter. The result of the meeting in London was that each section should send a delegate to meet Mr. (McQuesten, minister of municipal affairs, on Tuesday, Macrh 16th, at 12 o'clock in Toronto. Councillor Morrison felt this to be a serious matter, and might be out of gear to be speaking of work of that description, when the war is the important thing, but this project was for the future. At prqpcnt the work will be confined to inspect, scrutinize and prepare for the fu­ ture. We, situated on the south branch of the Thames, are vulner­ able here. The flood condition of 1937 may happen again and it is highly potential that we may receive a similar state in the future. Farms have been drained to cultivate more acreage, with a result that more scoter has been sent down the Thames. Councillor Morrison stated that it behooves us to send someone and felt that Mayor K. Daniel was the one. Councillor Bower felt that this project would involve a tremendous amount of work and woudl be most suitable when the change over from war to peacetime work takes place. Many local industries, Stone’s, the File Co. and the New Idea, have •been damaged by floods in the past. The speaker stated that the govern­ ment should carry out this project adn seconded Councillor Morrison’s motion." . Councillor Watson stated that the government representatives, Mr. Webb land Dr. Duncan, were very receptive to this type of project atthe London meeting..’ Beautifying off the river might be considered a? well.

'LADIES’ NIGHT AT KIWANIS MEETING The Kiwanians and their wives were out in force on “ladies' night”, at their usual weekly luncheon on Thursday evening. The president, S. L. Shelton, was the presiding of­ ficial, and extended a warm welcome to all visitors and guests. ■Each lady present was presented with a corsage of roses and. ferns from the club and each gentleman was given a single rose, these being gifts from James Baxter. In keeping with "ladies* night”, the guest speaker was Miss Eleanor Fells of England, who has been in tins country for some time, a guest of friends in Toronto. She was introduced by Rev, H. E. Meri- field. The speaker dealt with some thoughts in connection with the war, the present and the future. She said that Britain had lived through the most extraordinary per­ iod in the past few years, and hav­ ing lived there during the Nazi raids and in the country that she says was appallingly unprepared for war, she spoke with genuine ex­ perience of some of the reactions of the British people. She was most outspoken in regard to this unpre­ pared condition of things in that group of islands at the time of the outbreak of war and she said that this must be taken into consideration during every step and phase of the war and at the time of victory and peace and the new order which must come if the woriebis to be saved from utter destructfon. The British people hate war and don’t want an­ other one, she said.. At the conclusion of Miss Fells' address, F. G. Rich expressed the thanks of the gathering for a most interesting and instructive discourse and also presented her with a beau­ tiful corsage of flowers, a gift from the club.

Interment was made in St Andrews' Cemetery. A fairly large attendance of Ing­ ersoll women . met in tlm Baptist Church last Friday for t$ie annual observance of the Women's World Day of Prayer. Mrs. G. A.‘ McLean acted as chairman and welcomed the gathering. Mrs. W..A. Elliott pre­ sided at the organ for quiet music and the hyrnrtk and Mrs. Beatrice White McjKinney contributed a beau­ tiful vocal, solo. Miss Edna Currie gave a splendid address on the subject, “Wanted- Witnesses.*’ In this she stressed the need ffor Christians to show forth the Christ-like life in word and deed in adverse times as in good times since Christ can only be revealed through the lips and hands and heart of de­ voted followers witnessing continu­ ally for him.

The president, 1 Robert Carr, conducted the business 1 and explained that the programme '■ was to be of an educational form 1 concerning some rulings of the War- ■ time Prices and Trade Board. 1 Mr. H. S. Aseltine, local repre- ’ sentative of the board, introduced 4 the speaker of the evening, Mr. H. < N. Roblin of London, the Regional 1 Consumer Credit Officer. Mr. Roblin stated that represen- 1 tatives of the board were not of a ’ police or gestapo nature, but were ' here to be of whatever help they ’ could, to answer any questions or 1 solve any problems in the different lines of business. He felt that if : Canadians know ;what is required of 1 them and ,the underlying reasons ' for such an action they would give 1 100% co-operation with any regula­ tion. ' The speaker analyzed business conditions as’ they exist under the present wartime conditions and rec­ ent legislation which affects retail merchants. Mr. Roblin discussed the new Consumer Credit Order which became law on February 1st. Its •work is the control of inflation through the control of credit Infla­ tion is both invisible and intangc- able. We cannot see, feel or weigh it It is difficult for people to real­ ize the seriousness of the situation. The speaker showed the danger ex­ isting with an increased buying pow­ er and a shortage of merchandise with no price control. We see ;.what takes place at auction sales today where a certain item may be sold at a price far exceeding its original value when new. Since the war started there has been more enjoyment and more sal­ aries paid, while in the majority of cases the price of goods has remain­ ed the same. The program of rais-“ ing money byvbonds, stamps and taxes is not ,wholly intended to' pay* for the war, but to siphon off the excess purchasing power and thus prevent inflation. The net income of Canadians this year will be the lar- ! gest in their history—it will exceed 1 8 billion dollars. If all the merchan- ’ dise in Canada were purchased there • would still be 15% of this income left. . , “Undar inflation, who is hit* the: hardi^K” the speaker, inquired. The • man who has goods to sell. The in- , ventory goes up, the dollar is worth , less and won’t buy as much. The - difference between the true value > and the inflated .value has to»be • absorbed by the merchant after the war. Inflation only helps those who r owe money. • Mr.' .Roblin then - discussed the Order No. 225 respecting consumer credit, pointing out the important features such as, definition to whom the order applies, charge accounts, contract of skle, seasonal buyers, farm machinUy, delivery on approv­ al, loans, Jay away*, and general provisions of the order. The order applies to all goods, new or used, and repairs to and re- ' placements of any chattel not de-, signed to be fixtures to real prop- erty with certain exceptions. No seller can sail any goods on credit terms except under a charge account or a contract of sale. The cash price must first be quoted to the pur­ chaser. Goods purchased under a charge account are due and payable not later than the 25th day of the month following the month in .which such goods were purchased. When a charge account is in default, no seller shall sell any goods to that buyer under any change account or any contract of sale unless one-third of the overdue amount is paid in cash and a written agreement with the seller is made by the buyer pro­ viding for payment of the balance is not more than six equal monthly instalments of not less than $5 each. All contracts of sale must be in writ­ ing and its terms met the require­ ments of minimum down payment, (one-third of the cash value), pay­ ment in full of the balance within the maximum period of credit (six months for wearing apparel excep­ ting furs, and ten months for goods under value of $500). The contract of sale shall include an itemized statement shewing all items and transactions. Seasonal buyers, re- ceiving^Lhe main part of his income in one season of the year, may have a postponement of all payments, including the down payment, for a period not months, with a limitation of $150 (not applying to foods). The finance or carrying charge is not less than three-quarters of one per cent per month on the total amount financed if less than $500. Lay aways must have attached to them a tag or label showing the name and address of the buyer, the date on which such seller agreed to lay away the goods and the time for which the seller agreed to lay away th's goods. Goods cannot be laid away for a longer period than three months. « Following the discussion, many questions wree answered by Mr. Roblin. These showed the interest * which was taken by those present *iid the evening proved to be of ■ .much value, (both from an educa­ tional and instructive viewpoint, exceeding twelve PEARSON-JEFFREY WEDDING SOLEMNIZED AT WESTON MARCH 13 Mr..

Pretty soon, if things go on as at ■ present, the common or parlor var­ iety of theoretical socialist may have to find a new target for his verbal'"'barbs. The person who is immensely rich, or even rather rich, is becoming a progressively rarer bird. To illustrate: Whaley Eaton, writing in The Northern Miner, pre­ sents some interesting statistics on this class of Croesus in Britain. In that country, before the war, he points out there were 7,000 persons with incomes of more than 324,000 (after payment of taxes). Now there are only eighty. Before 1939 about 12,000 individuals got a net income of between $16,000 and $24,000. Of these only 1,170 remain in that class. Then take the case of a mar­ ried man with two children and an “unearned", income of 320,000 a year. Before the war he would have had $11,000 odd left after meeting leviee; today he is lucky if he keeps $4,600. Admittedly, this is still a sizable amount to get along with, but it must ibe remembered that his heavy financial comitments, incurred in “good" times, remain and may have increased- It is not1 all beer and skittles even for the “well-to- do.” The, “wealthy” that were, are be­ coming less wealthy all down the line and it requires no great feat of figuring to check the assertion that Britain is no longer a nation of rich, people. By the same token, one can well credit, the assertion that, in" many cases, the so-called rich are worse off than the working man with $30 a week and relatively small commitments. And, as may have been remarked, the same trend is not entirely absent in Canada! Such being the inevit­ able tendency of the limes, tlrg day may not be far distant when the connotation “capitalist” will have become rather meaningless or ironical. This may call for a revis­ ion of the stock-in-trade arguments of the share-the-wealth advocates and may even lead to a certain amount of embarrassment to these rhetoricans, since, as common ob­ servation shows, the most ardent socialist is something of a capitalist on pay-day. “Better To Lose This War” Justice E. R. E. Chevrier at sit­ tings of Frontenac County Supreme Court at Kingston the other day, said that if the younger generation is “to run the world after the war is oyer it would be better to lose this war.”' Justice Chevrier’s remarks came during hearing of two divorce cases. “How in the name of heaven do the younger generation expect to run this world when their standard of moral living is lessening every day,” he said. “If these kind , of people are to run the world wheh the war is oVer we would be better to lose this war. The younger gen­ eration has gone mad and the mem­ bers of the older generation must do what they can to save the younger generation against them­ selves.” Creameries’ Butter Enough For Ration Branding rumors of huge excess butter stocks in creameries as “ut­ terly false," W. Harold Mcphillips, regional prices and supply represen­ tative of the Wartime Prices and Trade Board chained that, a^few thousand pounds was a mere "drop in the bucket” when one considered’ the rationed demands of 1,000,000 Western Ontario residents. Every time a ration coupon comes due the creameries must be prepared to sup­ ply at least 500,000 pounds of but­ ter. Not only that, but butter must be shipped from this Region to areas in uhort supply, ‘ Forest area of Manitoba, Canada, has been officially estimated at 187,000 square miles. Looking Back 34 Years — From the — Files of The Oxford Tribune, Ingersoll, Canada, Thursday, March 17, 1910 from the damage done to fieldcrops by the dust which is thrown by these machines travelling at the rate of from thirty to fify miles an hour over the country roads it has been stated—and not without justi­ fiable reason — that markets are directly and considerably affected by the automobile. Ladies who have been in the habit of bringing their produce to market, have had their horses frightened by the automo­ biles and in some instances have sustained injuries by runaways. This has, as has been stated, ap­ preciably affected the size of the market, because ladies are now afraid to risk their lives on the road if there is the barest possibil­ ity of meeting an automobile. The half yearly meeting of the city union of King’s Daughters took place on Tuesday afternoon in the school room of St. Paul’s Church. There was a good turnout of mem­ bers of the different circles.

Satis­ factory reports from the different Circles were read.

ODD FACTS ABOUT FOOD Science has found by investiga­ tion that a good many of the beliefs cherished by a lot of people regard­ ing food are far from being cor­ rect There is, for example, the com­ mon idea that milk is composed mostly of water, and therefore does not leave any significant waste for the intestines. As a matter of fact, milk leaves a great amount of resi­ due—much more than that left by meat or eggs. Dr. James S. McLester, U. S. authority, has summarized the inves­ tigations of scores of scientists, who have experimented with various types of food. It has been discov­ ered that: Meat is the most satisfying food in that it calls forth the greatest activity on the part of the stomach. Milk ranks next to meat. Cooked eggs are more satisfying than raw eggs; the latter leave the stomach rapidly and are not easily digested. Bread, especially if toasted, has poor appetite-satisfying qualities. Potatoes are only a little higher. Both become more satisfying if a little butter is used with them, which is poor consolation in these days of rationing. Green vegetables are low in satisfying qualities, though high in vitamin content. if eggs are eaten raw, beat them in order to get full value. Plain raw egg white apparently runs through the system so rapidly that it is hardly digested at all. Cooking loosens the connective tissue of meat so that the digestive juices reach it more readily. Cook­ ing causes the starch cells of veget­ ables to burst and become accessible to digestive fluids. Foods that are most likely to cause distress because of individual sensitivities are, in relative order according to one test involving 500 peoples- onions, milk, apples, cab­ bage, chocolate, radishes, tomatoes, cucumbers, eggs and fats. Milk is more easily digested when mixed with other foods; take a cratker with your milk. Hot fresh breads were found to be just ns digestible as cold if they are chewed thoroughly and arc properly light in texture. Says Farming Key To Post-War Readjustment Farming, one of the most import­ ant war activities of the United Na­ tions, holds the key to the post-war readjustment and rehabilitation, J.S. Mcdowan, director of coloniza­ tion and agriculture for the Canad­ ian National Railways, told the Ki- wanis Club at its meeting held in Ottawa recently. •*Never in the history of Canadian Agriculture have those engaged,in thia basic •industry produced so much with so little help as in 1942/' said Mr.’ McGowan. The top and bottom in u.iiculture was reached in one decade; 1932 being the lean­ est year, 'while 1942 was the most luscious. In order to meet the post-war problems, the tremendous gap now existing between urban and rural life must by . bridged, said the speaker. There are 735,000 farms in Canada, 16,000,000 acres in pro­ duction, representing an investment of $3,000,000,000 and the owners and workers on these farms will have to be taken into careful con­ sideration when readjustment from war conditions to peace is made. '“The realization that Canada is the Empire’s main granary as well as its chief arsenal will show that agriculture will be one of the main causes of first, winning the war, then achieving the post-war pros­ perity of this country," declared Mr. McGowan. | THE DIVINE SPARK ’- by - Eveline A. Long Canadian Victory Ships Carry Important Cargoes Vancouver—Victory carzo ships such as those built in the Canadian National Railways plant al Vancou­ ver, the only shipbuilding yard in America operated by a railway, carry substantial loads. For ex­ ample, a ship classed as of 10,000. tons, will carry 6,000 tons of cheese from Canada to. a British port This cheese divided into the prevailing British ration of four ounces per week, will provide for 48,000,000 individual rations of a seven day period. I like to think that each one of us is born with a tiny spark of divin­ ity, and that during life we either fan it to flame or allow it to perish. The vast majority do, I believe, manage to keep it aglow, even at times to have it burn brightly. But at either end of this concourse of ordinary human beings is the ex­ treme. On the one hand is the man who secs his tiny spark of divinity as the only thing in him worth cul­ tivating; his body, his earthly de­ sires, all pertaining to his corporal self must be eliminated to the sub­ limation of his other self. His con­ tacts with his fellows become less and less real to him, for he dwells by choice in a spiritual world where they seldom come. When he leaves the clod, which he 'believes his body has .been, he is ready to soar like a rocket to that heaven in which he has already to some extent been living. The man at the other end of the balance is all nun, all clay. He has from the beginning decided that the define spark was a hindrance to his material progress, just as the saint had decided his 'body was to his. So he crushes it out of existence and goes his ruthless way, on to what­ ever success he has fixed his eyes. His greed, his rapacity, his heartless­ ness, set him apart; his fellows know him for what he is, a man without the last desire for good, a being to be shunned by all who know them­ selves at least some little good. He dies when his body does, there is nothing left to live, he himself has killed the divinity in him. And the rest of u»T We live our earth lives very close to earth, be­ cause we feel we must. Just living takes almost all our attention, but we are aware 6f our little Spark; we have no desire for its extinction. In times of stress or elation or quiet meditation,, we ask ourselves ques­ tions concerning our "whither” and “whence”. We know keen satisfac­ tion and joy at deeds well done; our light (shines at a kindly word spoken, at-a fellow helped qut of a difficulty, at a vice overcome, at any goodness expressing And that light is our own, oiir tiny spark leaping to quick life. Cares and worries pull us down again to earth and dim our light but never entirely put it out. It Is part of us, we know the need of it, it is our anchorage to that life to come of which this is but a part. Perhaps we are prone, as the saint thinks, to attach too much im­ portance to thia (life and not enough to the life hereafter, but it * is only by living this life to the full, facing it bravely, overcoming all difficulties, giving of ourselves and ,iour talents, that we can feel that we aFe fulfilling our purpose here to the best of our ability. That being done, there is little doubt in my mind that our divine spark is saved from' ex- tinction. that it may even have be­ come a smell beacon light for those pressing on behind. If so, it .will doubtfle.-s grow to greater propor­ tion in that time when the clods of earth are loosened ^from our feet, and we can begin our ascent in real earnest. Patches glued on clothes with mending tissue, tape, or cement are often invisible and will withstand several washings.

In other words, so­ cial security will be placed before a special committee of Parliament before it is debated fully in the House of Commons. “There has been so much said about the ob­ stacle of the British North Ameri­ ca Act,” declared Premier Macken­ zie King in part. “I do not think this is a matter about which we need be the least bit concerned once we decide we want it amended in any particular way.” Then he continued in explanation of another point "Getting along with the provinces in these social insurance matters is all-important,'* said the Prime Minister in Parliament “Any Government in this country that tries to ignore the provinces and to ride roughshod over them is not going to aid in settling any ques­ tions of social security. It .will only make the situation worse. But go nt it in the right way, in the spirit and method which I hope this com­ mittee will tackle this in, as a great national problem affecting provinces as well as Dominion, and I believe it will be possible to get agree­ ments.” NO APOLOGY There will be no apology tender­ ed to Col. George Drew, leader of the Ontario Progressive Conserva­ tives, for having prosecuted him last spring. *tls the Minister not going to make any explanation with respect to Colonel Drew?" asked Gordon Graydon, Opposition leader in Parliament. “I did not intend to make any statement," replied Hon. Louis St. Laurent, Minister of Jus­ tice. “If I felt that there was any apology due to Col. George Drew, I would not hesitate to make it, but knowing the facts that I know, my opinion is that I owe him no apology.” NOT WITHOUT REASON An explanation has been given in Ottawa why restaurants are now allowed to charge on a meal an extra five cents for tea, coffee or milk. It has been pointed out that, since there has been no ceiling for some foods which have been higher, they have been forced to earry this additional burden, though at the same time this business has been highly competitive and not gener- BOYS OVERSEAS WANT HOME NEWS — By — Flying Officer R, A.

After a careful and thor­ ough investigation of the whole situation, the authorities have de­ cided that some relief would have to be given in order to maintain this essential service. Therefore, the problem has been solved without bringing on an over all increase in the price of meals in restaurants by by allowing the customer to decide whether or not he or she wishes to add to the cost of the meal or to give up the beverage on which the price increase has been granted by the authorities. Moreover, attention is drawn to the fact that this solu­ tion has also the effect of likely conserving tea or coffee both of which are rationed articles in this country at this time. THE PRICE OF VICTORY An impartial interpretation of the important events that arc transpir­ ing along Parliament Hill indicates that the Government’s new war bud­ getary programme to raise an almost unbelievable large amount of money from Canada's comparatively small population is serving to educate the masses to a better understanding of what is necessary to keep the na- , tional economy oh a sound, even keel and of the realities that the masses must face in their gigantic financial effort in the period imme­ diately ahead. 1 It is the most formidable econ­ omic contribution in the entire his­ tory of the people of Canada. While in the coming period poverty will not actually stalk across the land from ocean to ocean as in the pre­ war years of depression, yet the feverish folly of spending or high living in ■ the temporary wartime “boom”, which infected far too many people, will soon be a thing of the past The people will be forced to preserve their economic sanity. The people will be able no longer to look through rose-colored glasses at this temporary wartime “boom.” The people will find that they must work, harder and sacri­ fice more to the common effort than at any previous tim£ in their his­ tory not only dor victory against the enemies on the actual fighting front but for victory against the' ordeal of inflation on the home front In simple language, it means that the war is compelling the Govern­ ment to spend more’and more un­ precedented amounts of money and ■ this is ‘ producing far-reaching elects upon the whole economic ‘wheel of this country, causing it to turn faster, faster withh rising em-. ployment and a growing industrial movement Then again, the war is forcing the Government to obtain more and more money by taxation and by borrowing. In other words, the war is creating an economic process where more and more money is being distributed amongst the people on one side, but on the other side more and more money is being returned to the Federal Treasury, with the result that It is possible that sooner or later the purchasing power or standard of living of the masses may not only be unchanged, but may even be lowered, depending upon the proportion of amount of war spending, which is brought back into the Federal Treasury and not left in the control of the common people. Under such conditions of greater employment and industrial activi­ ties, the people expect a sort of economic “boom” or prosperity, par­ ticularly an increase in spending or purchasing power on the part of the masses, but in time the public is bound to be completely disappoint­ ed, though it is no secret that these people arc frequently unaware of the reasons why in wartime more and more money goes through the process of merely passing through their hands as the money moves rather quickly back and forth fct the Federal Treasury in a sort of circle. Therefore, it is apparent that the Government in Ottawa must raise all the money necessary to carry on its war as well as non-war activities, regardless of ultimate cost, without upsetting the national economy, even if this involves temporary hardships or sacrifices on the home front in the period immediately ahead. This implies a “pay-as-you go” policy as much as possible so that a proper proportion of the costs may be paid by the people as soon as possible to avoid too many obli­ gations in the future. This means that there must be n policy whereby all the people bear the burden at the same time and in a fair, equit­ able manner. This involves o policy of full mobilization of* the people’s resources so that these may be at the disposal of the Government, .■with purchasing power or spending Ifcing, reduced directly or indirectly to /assure that essential and non- essential production is subject to proper and timely control in the best interest of the whole, nation, a wartime economic machinery. Finally, the available evidence along Parliament Hill suggests that the . authorities are working harder than ever now to avoid inflationary tendencies. They know that this or­ deal can wreck the economic .tnaeh- ery of a nation and weaken the soul of its people. They know that it was the inflationary spree of 1921 to 1923 which helped the dictators to come into existence , in Europe since the people of these countries could'not believe in national honor when their money became a laugh­ ing-stock to the world, nor could these gpople have confidence in so­ cial justice when their fortunes evaporated overnight Even the threat of inflation is a nightmare so that everything possible is and will be done in Canada to avoid this danger or evil and to use soand financial methods in this war. While in the period immediately ahead the Government’s effort to maintain as much as possible & bal­ ance in the economic i system may mean a lower standard of living now and notions about a “boom” may melt, thaw and resolve them­ selves into a dew in face of the heavy circulation of money, yet ft is in the best interests of the nation to London, (RCAF) New. Service)- Just as life for the folks at home ' is a routine broken by certain ups and downs, so the day to day pro­ gram for an airman on active ser­ vice becomes a round of well estab­ lished duties, punctuated by mom­ enta of high exhilaration and of des­ pondent loneliness. These two states of mind may stem from precisely the same ori­ gin—the mail from home. How small a matter this may ap­ pear to some in Canada is eviden­ ced by the few letters which they write to their sons or brothers over­ seas. Its importance in the minds of others is likewise shown by the steady flow of letters, cards, clip­ pings from the home town news­ paper, which turn up at base post office overseas and are sent on to the addressee. The importance of mail to a man who may have 3000 miles of water and another 3000 miles of land be­ tween himself and his family, is difficult to assess. It is a fact how­ ever, which Air Force authorities will support, that morale— that much abused word which means roughly the state of mind of your men—is unmistakably bolstered by a regular stream of information from home through the mails. A few hundred words of family gossip on a sheet of paper may not look very important to the person who is home and close to the things of which he writes. Hut to the chap who is far from home in some lone­ ly outpost—or the biggest bombing station in the land—it means that he can think for a moment about the things he left behind, and about the things he will some day return to. It means that he has not been forgotten, that somewhere people are thinking of him, that someone misses him, is praying for his safety wishing him good luck. That is what it means to him, whether he's an air marshal or an ACS, and whether he admits it or not. It means somebody has remem­ bered—remembered he would like to know whether the kid brother made the second base spot on the sandlot team. Remembered he was anxious about his brown cocker spaniel, who had caught her foot in a gopher trap. Remembered that he used to go down to the foaming river and watch the salmon run, leaping up the falls. Remembered how he liked to be the first in the spring to notice that the aays were getting longer. A flier likes to think of these things when he comes home from a mass raid over Germany, or when lie is through for the day with his engines, or his paint brush, or his cooking pots or his parachutes. He thinks about them and all they stand for because they are his way of life. They represent what he bas had before and what he wants to have again. There Is only one way he can know about them. That’s ‘fchen the kid sister, or the folks or the girl friend write and tell "him. Whether he is from Halifax, or Hazelton, Coleman or Chicoutimi, it makes no odds. If the mail bag comes bulging into . the orderly room and there is nothing in it for him, he is the loneliest guy in the world. A dozen lines fh>m any member of the family would have done the trick, or an airgraph from the fel­ low he used to work with down the street, but he gets nothing and he wonders if anybody ever thinks about him at alL Some other fellow gets a fistful of letters, a carton of cigarettes, another gets a parcel with chocolate and chewing gum, maybe some socks and a tin of pork and beans—not much at home, but the difference between existing and living for a man on an active aervice station. Oh sure, some will be torpedoed on the way. An airman overseas is the first to admit it He also sug­ gests, tactfully, that a few mere letters dispatched from the point of origin would take care of the margin. , ’ Cyril—“You may spam me, but remember I shall not always be a clerk at $20 a weekl” Marie—“That’s just the trouble.

West Oxford Resident Passes In Hospital The death occurred on Saturday in Alexandra Hospital of Mrs. Andrew Hutcheson, of Lot 8, Broken Front Concession, West Oxford. The late .Mrs. Hutcheson, although not in good health for some time, was seriously ill only a few days. Born in Ingersoll, Mrs. Hutche­ son was in her 55th year and went to Beachville to reside two years ago. She was a member of the Uni­ ted Church and of the Women's Association. Left to mourn her passing are her husband, five sons, Pte. Murray Hutcheson of Stratford; Bruce, of Beachville; Pte. Nulson, of the R.C. R. in England; Pte. Thomas of the Kent Regiment in B. C., Shirley, at home, also one daughter, Irene, at home. The following brothers and sisters also survive: Mrs. James Hutcheson, of Banner; Mrs. George Brady of Mossley; John Fenton, London; Fred Fenton, Thamesford; Lloyd Fenton, Mossley, and Orval Boxol, London. The funeral was held on Monday afternoon at 2.30 o’clock, at the Fred S. Newman Funeral Home. Rev. E. S. Barton of Beachville, and Rev. T. G. Musser of Putnam, conducted the impressive service. There was a very large attendance and many beautiful floral tokens, testimony to the esteem in which the late Mrs. Hutcheson was held. The bearers were John Fenton, Fred Fenton and Orville Boxall, all brothers; George, William and Ron­ ald Hutcheson, brother»-in-law, In­ terment took place at the Banner Cemetery. Receives Word of Death of Her Uncle Mrs. R. A. Jewett, Thames street south, received -word of the death of her uncle, Mr. M. W. Fleischer, on the Island of Jersey. As regular communication was severed since the occupation of the Channel Island by the Hermans in June, l£>40, no word from Mr. Fleischer had been received since then. Last April, on a special form supplied by the postal authorities, Mrs. Jewett was permitted to send a message, limited to twenty words, addressed to her uncle, through the Interna­ tional Red Cross Society in Switzer­ land. Nothing had been heard until last week, when the message was re­ turned from Switzerland, bearing a note dated the 8th of June, 1942, and signed by J. F. Le Cornu, Ad­ vocate of Jersey, stating that Mr. Fleischer had died on the 29th of July 1940. Mr. Fleischer had many friends in AIngersolh having visited the town on several occasions. He had resided in Jersey since his retire­ ment from the position of Traffic Manager of the Bombay, Baroda and Central India Railway. One of the many Canadian Red Cross functions is to make sure that no Canadian serviceman in overseas hospitals suffers from lone­ liness. Names of all Canadians admitted to military hospitals any­ where in Britain jare turned over to the ‘Red Cross and they in turn communicate with the Visitors’ Commitee in that particular area. Picture shows Sgt. H. J. Cossentine of Penticton, B.C., receiv­ ing gifts of cigarettes and candies from a Red Cross visitor in an R.A.F. hospital “somewhere in England." Over 7,000,000 articles of supplies and comforts have been given to patients in military hospitals and the armed forces by the Canadian Red Cross.

Do / £n/oy ZMy Meals v jUK ' Dr.Chase’s ‘"Ear* PILLS T)ROBABLY on several occasions * you have asked yourself, "How can I learn more about photogra­ phy?” | Most people, I think, have posedthat question at one time or another,and, generally speaking, they havefound that there, are two basic methods by which anyone can learnthe details of practical photographic technique. You can either study what has beeh written aibout thesubject, or yon can have someone explain the details to you. Bothmethods have their pofpta, but a.combination of the.two la usually the most effective. For instance, right at the startyou should learn how to operate your camera properly. That seemslike a simple procedure—and usu­ ally It to—but have you ever takenthe time to read and study the In­ struction booklet that came with your camera? That’s a gold mine ofphotographic information, and It will tan you exactly what you cando with your outfit and how to get the best results from iti Another source of practical Infor­ mation to photographic text and Rivers Bros., Ingersoll, gave 14,043 lbs. milk containing 502 lbs. fat.

The Young People’s League , meton Tuesday evening of last week in the church chool room and was incharge of Mrs. Fred Freeman withJean Smith at the piano. After the usual opening exercises the minutes data books, and the current photo­graphic magazines. Some of the available textbooks look a little com­plicated, but if you visit your dealer and tell him that you’re looking forsomething simple that will ten you how to make good pictures—I’msure he’ll' find one or more books that will be certain to fit your needs.If that doesn’t tell you aD you want to know, you can turn to more ad­vanced books or enlist the aid of experienced photographers.To get practical help and advice, I’daeuggest that yon join a cameraclub ?' there Is one In your commu­ nity. By participating In the clubcontests and exhibitions, yon may find new methods for processingyour pictures. From the dub lec­ tures, and perhaps classes for be­ginners, you can get valuable tips and hints on better methods of pic­ture making. What it all comes down to to thto: If you want to learn more aboutphotography, read, study,/and work hard at making every picture thebest you can. That to one sure method of attaining photographicsuccess.

Or perhaps you are one of the lucky ones who just managed to scrape through? In either case, you will want to be prepared for next winter when greater hardships loom unless you take immediate action. The shortage already has affected many communities ... total stocks of dry wood are nearly exhausted ... In some places the small supply of green wood cut for next winter is being used tnw to meet the present emergency. Throughout most of Canada, fuel-wood is obtained not far from where it is consumed. Its production and distribution are the business of local citizens. The Dominion Government recognizes that the wood-fuel shortage is so serious that even with the full co-operation of everyone in affected com*munities an adequate supply is not assured. Accordingly, it has been decided to stimulate the output of wood-fuel by assisting those normally engaged in its production and distribution. To this end, the following measures will be adopted: v 1 A subsidy of $1.00 per cord will be paid to dealers on all commercial fuel-wood contracted for and cut on or before June 30, 1943, and held to dealers' account On that date. SI The Coal Controller has been authorized to arrange in his discretion for the payment of such portion of th* transportation costs as he considers proper in respect o£ fuel-ivood, particul­ arly in cases where dealers, to procure supplies, find it necessary to contract for fuel-wood at locations outside the area from ’ which they normally derive their supplies. In order to obtain any such reimbursement, dealers must obtain a permit from the Coal Controller before contracting for such supplies. 3 The Coal Controller will repurchase from dealers at dealer's cost all commercial grades of fuel-wood on which a subsidy of($l per cord has been paid and which are still I in dealers’ hands as at May 31, 1944. A Assistance will be given in providing priorities for necessary equipment. 5 Farmers now on the farm, and who leave the farm temporarily in response to this appeal to engage in fuel-wood cutting, will be deemed by National Selective Service to be carrying out their regular occupation as farmers and will be given all the rights of deferment of military service which such an occupa­ tion now carries. Such temporary absence should not, however, interfere with agricultural production. • Municipal councils, farmers, fuel dealers. Individual cHIzens, service dubs, and all other groups In communities where wood-fuel I* burned, are urged to begin at once a rapid survey of their local situation, and to lake imme­ diate action ta relieve the shortage.

Fat pro­ vides energy—for guns as well as diets. Yes, the fat that provides en­ ergy for growth and activity of the human body also provides energy, which fires shells from guns. Be very sure to use available food fats to their fullest extent— for keeping your family strong and energetic, salvaging every spoonful left over. No amount of fat is too little to save, so urgent is the coun­ try’s need for glycerine. Every pound saved will produce enough glycerine to fire ten rounds from a 50-calibre airplane cannon pointed at the enemy. Two tablespoons of fat a day is the requirement for each adult— obtained from cream, lard, butter, shortening, pork trimmings or ren­ dered fats. A family of two needs 1% lbs. of fat per week—including butter allowance (which is ample at present) and fat for cooking. Each child under 12 years requires from U lb. to nearly a pound, depend­ ing on age and size. Less frying and more broiling means a more thrifty use of fats.- Meals will be pleasantly rich and easily digested—the kind the family enjoys. When food needs are taken care of, strain your left-over fats into a wide-mouthed can for sal­ vage. It only takes 31 tablespoons of fat to make a pound—one table­ spoon a day for a 31-day month. When a pound has accumulated, take it to your meat dealer—he will pay you for it and turn it over to a rendering plant to be made into tallow. The tallow h sent to soap manufacturers, for it is in the -making that the glycerine is extracted from the fat The glycer­ine, in it* turn, is sent on to the explosive manufacturers — and a shell will whine its way toward the enemy with the help of your fat. It takes time to make fat into glycerine, so take your tin of fat in today. TAKE A TIP. What to do with your Fats 1. Save all waste cooking fats. Render pieces of fat meat slowly. Clean out broiler pans and roast pans with a scraper or wooden spoon. 2. Pour into clean, wide-mouthed cans, such as coffee tins or lard pails. Strain fats as you pour them to remove all foreign matter. 3. Keep fat containers in elec­ tric refrigerator or cool place until you have collected at least 1 lb. 4. Take your fat to your meat dealer, who is co-operating patriot­ ically in this drive. He will pay 4 or 4 Mt cents per pound for your dripping fats. Bones and scrap fat should also be taken to meat dealers. 5. You may donate fats and bones to your local Voluntary Sal­ vage Committee, if one has been organized, 6. Don't take less than 1 lb. of fat to your meat dealer; don't take fats to meat dealers in glass or cardboard containers; don’t let faU. stand near heat where they will be­ come rancid; don't take fats and bones to meat dealers on Fridays and Saturdays (usually rush days) and don’t ask him for dog bones in exchange. The first day he went into the restaurant he ordered brown bread with his meal. The waitress brought white. The second day he ordered brown bread and again she brought white. The third day he ordered brown, and again got white. This went on for a week. On the eighth day he decided that the only way to get what he wanted was to order the opposite. So having or­ dered lynch, he added, ‘And bring me some white bread.” "But,” said the waitress, "aren’t you the gentleman who always has brown?” THE CORN SYRUP with th* A pure, wholesome sweet that's always a treat If your grocer is temporarily out of stock, this delicious Syrup is worth wsinng for.

It is musical history that a band, led by a clarinet playing ,wizard, comes along every few years to cop the nation-wide recognition. In 1935 it was Benny Goodman, in 1939, Artie Shaw, in stormy 1943 hand­ some Jerry Wald gives every indi­ cation of carrying on that tradition. A brilliant clarinet soloist {whose records and broadcasts have been bringing him swift fame, Wald and his new band are accorded an al­ most certain chance to equal the exploits of his colorful clarinet- tootling contemporaries. Artie Shaw who has heard Jerry’s extraordinary skilful way of hand­ ling the clarinet generously gave him a dozen of bis best known arrange­ ments. In a short space of time, Jerry’s has climbed to a level with the great orchestras of the day, has been constantly heard on all the radio networks and appeared in pic­ tures for Paramount. Decca records have just signed him exclusive to a recording contract in the teeth of the record shortage due to war re­ strictions and priorities. What makes his popularity so much more impressive is that Jerry Wald has built his reputation and his band during the war when gas restrictions, priorities and the record shortage swiftly cut down the progress of most bands. Stan Kenton who ap­ peared with his band at the London Arena a short time ago and received enthusiastic comment, played piano with Jerry until the Kenton band was formed. Much credit is due to Mrs. Maria Kramer for discovering this sensa­ tional band. Mrs. Maria Kramer, the owner of a number of large hotels in the States, stopped in the Roseland one evening.
