These included Christmas trees, boys' band, blood donors, ten stu­ dent memberships in the Commun­ ity Concert Association, juvenile hockey and baseball, ice frolic, skating party, annual dance, war salvage and war charities. The treasurer’s report was given by Gordon Waters, who outlined the expenditures and receipts and the balance proved to be quit favorable. Thus was heartily re­ ceived by the members and due credit was extended to the treas­ urer for his untiring effort’. The report of the boys’ work committee was presented by its chairman, Gordon Pittock, who also submitted a detailed account' of al] the various activities and finan­ cial matters relating to this work.He stated that the past \vintcr had afforded the club the most success­ ful hockey season ever experienced in the history of the club, in which 139 boys had registered, making up eight teams, two each of Squirts, Pce-Wees, Bantams and Midget Juvenile. These were known as the Ingersoll Y’s Men’s Minor Hockey League. League games were played weekly from January 7 to March 4 in which all teams were given a portion of the five hours each night in which the rink was rented. Sev­ eral helpful suggestions and recom­ mendations were also included in this' report. Y'man Gordon Pittock also iY-‘ ported the organization of a minor baseball tow,n league, with a toihl registration of 57 players, who are grouped into four teams of boys under 17 years of age. The report^of the project commit­ tee was ’given in a detailed manner by its chairman, Howard Horton. Financial statements were given of the Christmas tree project, the “at home” and the ice frolic.

Bishop Seagar Presides at Burning of Mortgage Large Gathering Witnessed Ceremony In St. James* Pariah Hall On Wednesday Evening, June 23rd. Wednesday evening, June 23rd, 1943, was a memorable one in the hearts of the congregation of St. James’ Anglican Church, when they gahered with their friends to witness the burning of the mortgage on the parish hall and adjoining rooms. Since 1925 funds were being raised for a parish hall and in 1929-1930 their hopes were realized when the beautiful hall was completed, and on Wednesday evening last, through the fruits of hard labour and efforts, the big debt against the hall was wiped out. Rev. H. E. Merifield, who has been rector of the parish for the past five years, has toiled dili­ gently to this end, and during his rec­ torship $9,000 plus interest had been paid off. The sum of $3,300 was con­ tributed about two years ago follow­ ing a canvass and a few months ago, a second canvass was commen­ ced, and the splendid sum of $2,853 was contributed in cash donations, the various organizations of the church and other gifts and endow­ ments, also helping in this respect. For the past few weeks, several members of the congregation have given of their time after their usual full day’s work otherwise, and have completely renovated the hall and adjoining rooms, which ’ meant a great saving to the church funds, and also created prnny new friend­ ships and the spirit of good will throughout the parish. Following the singing of “O Can­ ada”, and prayer by the rector, Rev. Merifield then introduced Mr. Fred S, Newman, as chairman of the evening, a position which he filled most acceptably. Mr. Newman was one of the wardens at the time the hall was built- He extended a hearty welcome to the large number present. Two splendid numbers were ren­ dered nt this time by the junior and intermediate choirs of the church, with Mrs. F. Funnell and Miss Mar­ ian Jackson as accompanists. The special speaker of the even­ ing was Rt. Rev. Charles A. Seagar, BishPp of Huron, who was introdu­ ced by Mr. E. A. Wilson, a member of the parish who has been actively interested in the affairs of the church for many years, and who in his brief remarks, complimented the members of the diocese on hav­ ing Bishop Seagar at the head of their church affairs, one who was such a splendid financier and who took such 'an active interest in the various parishes. In his opening remarks, His Lordship suited how he had greatly enjoyed bis twelve and a half years in the Diocese of Huron and had never regretted coming from a much smaller diocese to one of greater responsibilities and the friendships he had formed and the splendid co-operation of the people had meant much to the progress of the diocese. The people of St- James’, he said, had great reason for re- joiciw and a feelinflof relief which would apply also to -the rector who was the instigator of the canvass to wipe <Jff the debt, and was also ber hind the undertaking which disposed of the bank notes two yean ago that were against the property. Before concluding his very inspiring ad­ dress, His Lordship urged all to look forward and to go forward to greater and bigger achievements. R. A. Stone on behalf of the gath­ ering, expressed thanks to Bishop Seagar for his splendid address and also extended thanks for the kind and wise guidance given to the parish at all times. The thanks of the church offi­ cers were at this time extended to all who had so willingly and un- stintingly given of their time and labour in renovating the buildings for this happy occasion, by Russell Nunn, president of the St James’ Disking Club, who in a clever little speech gave a humorous description of the work done by the volunteer labourers, before introducing the next speaker, C, W. Riley. Mr. Riley gave a few brief but interesting remarks expressing the thanks of the parish to the var­ ious organizations who were in- instrumcntal in making St. James’ Parish one of the finest in the diocese. Thanks were also extended to the canvassers for their untiring efforts which had accomplished such splendid results. John Rawlings, the people’s war­ den, was the next speaker and he also expressed thanks to the lad­ ies’ organizations for their gifts and co-operation in the matter of the mortgage fund. He also extended thanks to the committee members and their assistants for their excel­ lent work and co-operation.

INGERSOLL, WOODSTOCK WOMEN_WERE GUESTS R.C.A.F. (W.D .) At No. S S.F.T.S., Hostess Group To More Than 100 Visitors. Approximately 100 women repre­ senting a number of local organiz­ ations, on Tuesday afternoon availed themselves of the privilege to see a service flying training school, and visited Brantford as guests of the R.C.A.F. (W.D.), which has arranged an "At Home” period throughout Canada, in compliment to women’s groups which had shown an interest in’ the welfare of women in uniform and to put them in closer touch with conditions under which members of the R.C.A.F. (W.D.) live. Two bus loads left here at 1.30 o’clock and were joined by one at Woodstock. In gioups of 15 each, with ar. airwoman as a guide, the visitors proceeded from the attractive can­ teen on a tour through the laundry building, the rending room, the bar­ racks, wijtju. rows of double-decker beds, whitjh, was indeed a highlight. Next came the visit to the ser­ geant’s quarters, the airmen’s lounge, which was by-the-way, at­ tractively fitted up, the mess and drill hall. When the parachute room was visited, exclamations of surprise at the size, the silkiness and the intricacies of parachutes were heard. Here young women demonstrated the packing of ’chutes, making sure that every fold was perfect, so that no airman’s life would be endangered by their care­ lessness. The visitors wended their way to the Y.W.C.A, Hostess House, which they found to be a very attract­ ive, cosy home. A guest room fitted with large bed and two baby cots, is available to a soldier’s wife for a two-day stay. This is a thoughtful arrangement which received favor­ able comment. The hostesses were very gracious and the visitors grateful for kindly hospitality. The next stop was n re­ turn to the canteen where tea was served. Mrs. Malcojin replied' to the kindly welcome of the commanding officer, expressing the pleasure of the visitors for courtesies extended them. tics and physics and for several years, taught high school at Ganan- oque and Perth, and at a later time in other coliegiates. Mr. Paterson gave up teaching for a period to study law, obtaining high honours during his course at Osgoode Hall and on graduation received the Law Society’s gold medal. On being call­ ed to the bar he enrolled as a bar­ rister and solicitor of the Supreme Court, a title he held to the time of his death. For some time he was associated with his brother, Mr. J. L, Paterson in a law practice here. In 1909 he was appointed public school inspector for South Oxford and held this position until his Sup­ erannuation in 1931. Mr. Paterson’s work in the edu­ cational field wns always outstand­ ing. He was a scholar of great abil­ ity and his faculty of imparting his knowledge to others made him a tencher of great talent. He was particularly interested in English literature and was known to many for his love and knowledge of the works of Robert Burns. In civic, national and international affairs, Mr. Paterson was always well-in­ formed. In church affairs too, Mr. Pater­ son’s work was valuable and un­ ceasing. A member of St. Paul’s Presbyterian Church, he served his church in many capacities. For many years he served ns chairman rtf the Board of Managers and was an elder of the church. The late R, A. Paterson was a man of high integrity and his influence will continue to be felt among the ' many who had the fine experience of coming under his teachings and example. He is survived by his widow, one daughter. Mrs. E. M. Webster and a granddaughter of Hamilton; two brothers, John L. Paterson, Inger­ soll and Ernest Paterson.

THURSDAY, JULY 1st,, 1943 Profiteers, Black Markets Earlier this week a Brantford retailer was convicted and fined $300 and costs or six months in jail for selling potatoes above the ceiling price, the charge having been preferred by the local office Of the Wartime Prices and Trade Board on the complaint of several citizens. The evidence showed that the accused sold the potatoes as "seed” at $3.50 a bag, at a time when the established seed potato price was only $2.49 a bag. The Magistrate, in passing sentence, .ob­ served that, in spite of several cases having been brought before him, the practice of selling at prices above the maximum continued. This state of affairs, which may fairly be described as shameful, is not confined to this community. From Ottawa, the Wartime Prices and Trade Board reported on Thursday dial ninety-six out of one hundred persons summoned for alleged contraventions of Board regulations in the preceding week had been convicted. It was revealed that fifteen Quebec and Ontario re­ tailers had been fined for selling jwtatoes above ceiling levels. Others were convicted of selling meat, poultry fruit, molasses and maple syrup at profiteering prices. The vigilance of the Prices Board authorities and their prosecution of the offenders is to be commended. Deliberate breaking of pride ceil­ ings on foodstuffs is a form of ille­ gal profit-making that is tantamount to robbing the public, a practice made all the more reprehensible be­ cause of the war situation. Equal or perhaps greater praise is due to the realistic and public-spirited cit­ izens who reported the violations to the authorities. aNeither the over-priced market nor the black market, as such, can operate if citizens refuse to buy therein. It is a common sense and patriotic duty of any individual who finds he is being over-charged, or who> is offered produce through the black market, to report such cases to ihe Prices Board or the police at at oncel Conversely, when black market or other rackets are dis­ covered and their operators prose­ cuted and convicted, an equal effort .should be made to trace down and prosecute those who knowingly and willingly patronized such sources. Profiteering and black marketing alike are more than humiliating revelations of human cupidity; they impede the war effort and so help the enemy.—iBrantford Ex- ’ poritor. i*t.« to Canada: "country, people, facilities, interests and pub­ licity.1’ Publicity is nobody’s mono­ ply, {having been press agent* for ,years we can speak with some auth­ ority on this subject.)

Galt ................. Waterloo ....... Ingersoll ........ Hargreaves’ two stolen bases, mixed in with a weird play at third base in the last half of the ninth, gave London Army a 6 to 5 victory over the Ingersoll Combines, in a storm-interrupted Senior Inter­ county Baseball League game at ’ Labatt Memorial Park Saturday afternoon in which two players col­ lapsed as the result of the intense heat. Hargreaves came into an un­ guarded home plate with the win­ ning run for the crowning point of a game that saw Ingersoll smash out 10 hits for 15 bases, yet contri­ bute five official errors and several unofficial dumb plays to practically hand the victory to the Londoners. The setting {or the winning run in the ninth saw Hargreaves reach first safely while his choice was cutting one off at second. The sol­ dier stole second and after Augie Herchenratter had fanned, hiked for third. The throw was in plenty of time to catch him and base urn- umpire Dinsmore gave the out sig­ nal when Bradfield, the Ingersoll third baseman, ' dropped the ball. The umpire immediately called him safe, a signal missed by Scurry Lee, the Ingersoll catcher, who had hiked for the dugout, thinking it the third out. Before scrambling Ingersoll players could reach the , pjgte, Hargreaves had crossed it to end the game.

Closer, better friends and neigh­ bours than any other peoples on earth, we heeded,no Atlantic chat­ ters, no peace conferences or di­ plomatic red-tape- Co keep us to­ gether. All we ever needed ,was a free and open border to shuttle back and forth across. This shuttling across the border, ns Brooke Claxtcn, M.P., says, in a recent Canada-Vest Indies maga­ zine, “has wove i ties of friend­ ship which mak • dur two people# the best of good neighbours on this shrinking globe." - Two years ago, nearly 14 million Americans entered Canada, bring­ ing hs more U. S. funds than al­ most nnj one of our industries. As Mr. Claxton says, “even at* that we still fell far short of-our sha.re of the total North American tourist business,” which- -estimates fix at about 6 ’billion dollars. Profit and tponey 18 not the meas­ ure of value of the U. S. tourist trade. The good relations between Canada and the United States a* nations are based on the good rela­ tion* between Canadians and Amer­ ican a* people.At present the tourist trade is a casualty of war. Travel is necessar­ ily restricted. Yet there is one thing nearly every Canadian can do. and that is to keep in touch with relatives, friends and business acquaintances in the States.As Mr. Claxton very rightly say* On Friday last the Dundass fam­ ily held their .first annual- reunion at the home of Mr. Stephen Dun­ dass, Con. 3, Lot 20, North Oxford, over one hundred and thirty were gathered. Following are the officers elected: President, Wm. .Dundass; Vice-President, David Dupdass; Sec­ retary, Moses Dundass, The reunion next year will be held at. the home of M^ Moses Dundass. North Ox­ ford. On“Sunday morning' last, a child­ rens service was heldhn St. Paul’s. Church. The pastor? Rev, Alfred Bright, gave an interesting talk on “The Ant,” drawing many helpful lessons from the life of this insect, A solo by Mr. D. G. Cuthbertson was listened to with much pleasure. •j) Hayes, cf............. 5 1 2 1 0 Bradfield, 3b.... 5 1 1 1 1 Lee, If, c............. 5 1 1 3 0 Thornton, rf, If 4 0 1 0 0 McGinnis, lb.... 3 0 1 9 0 Lampman, p........ 3 0 1 1 3 Udell, c ............ 2 0 0 6 0 Byers, rf.Z-......r 1 0 0 1 0 Bigham, 2b ........ 4 1 2 2 4—- — .__ .

Izzard, secretary-treasurer of the church, who gave a eoaipnrative re­ port in connection with the mort­ gage and finance* of the church and made the suggestion that the church use for its motto, "What we have attained let us maintain", which could be accomplished if the church members be regular contri­ butors to the parish obligations. The next speaker wa« Mr. Gebrge Tribe, who in the course of hi# re­ marks, urged the people to realize that the privileges they enjoyed at St. James* Church, also entailed great responsibilities and that there was yet much to be done. Mr. Tribe then introduced Mr. A. W. Burchell. Mr. Burchell outlined the legacies left the church which might be used as an endowment fund in the future. He said that the pleasing event of the evening coincided with the fifth anniversary of Rev. Mr. Meri- field’s rectorship here and expressed the hope that the next five years here would be as fruitful. He ex­ tended appreciation to the rector, whom' he termed as a wonderful and outstanding leader and to whom much of the success of the campaign was due. An active member of the build­ ing committee, Mr. John Lee, was the next speaker and he gave an interesting outline of the work that had been accomplished during the many years he had been a member. Mr. Lee then introduced the next speaker, Mr. F. C. Rich, secretary­ treasurer of the mortgage fund for many years, who gave a concise and clear picture of the undertaking which had been made possible through the generosity of the people, "A church saddled with debt cannot fulfill its mission", he said, and the congregation was to be congratulated on its fine achieve­ ment. He also felt that had it not been for the enthusiasm and per­ suasiveness of the rector, this would not have been - accomplished so soon. The rector’s warden, Mr. Harry Allen, then addressed the gathering briefly extending thanks to all who had assisted in making the event possible, and also addressed the younger members of the congrega­ tion, who will be the leaders of to-morrow, and reminded them of the efforts and sacrifices of the pioneers of the church 8 long since passed on, and urged them to live up to those splendid idfeals. Mr. Allen also read a letter of regret from Rev. W. E. V. McMillen of Simcoe, a former rector of the parish, who was unable through illness to be present, and through whose instrumentality the parish hall was erected in 1929. Mr. Mc­ Millen extended sincere congratu­ lations to all the members of the parish on this happy occasion. The last speaker on the program was Mr. F. A, Ackert, one of the oldest, members of the congrega­ tion, who was superintendent of the building fund at the time the hall was erected, and who in the course of his very interesting remarks, gave many happy reminiscences of the pioneer days of the church. He then presented the mortgage to Bishop Seagar who lighted the candle and placed the mortgage in an iron kettle to be burned, during which, a ladies’ quartette, composed of Mrs. Victor Brooks, Mrs. D. E. Deamude, Mrs. O. Lee and Miss Edith Leigh sang, “Everybody Hates a Mortgage,” followed by all singing “The Doxology," and a beautiful poem,’a prayer of thanks­ giving, was rend f by Miss Alma Tonks, a Girl Guide.' During the evening the different speeches were interspersed by most .enjoyable piano duos by Mrs. Alan Horton and Mrs. Ewart Bartley; number* by the ladies’ quartette,and a male quartette composed of Harold Smith, Harold Wiiaon, James Miller, Edwin Long, accompanied by Charles Walker, the church organist. An amusing quiz contest conducted by Alan Horton, was also much en­ joyed. Rev. Mr. Merifield in extending thanks to all made special mention of the following committees—Har­ old Smith,' refreshment*; Charles Riley, reception; R. A. Stone, Mrs. George Beck and Mrs. W. A. For­ man, entertainment; Fred Rich and W. A. Forman, invitations, for the church and town respectively; Dean Maitland, house committee. Rev. Merifield was chairman of the pro­ gram committee. The singing of the National An­ them and the benediction brought the program to a close following which all repaired to the ladies’ assembly room where delicious re­ freshments were served. Tax Free Gasoline To Go On Sale July 1 The problems relating to the sale of marked gasoline and refund of .the Ontario Gasoline Tax thereon, .have been under investigation by the Department of Highways of the Province of Ontario for some time. Numerous requests have been re­ ceived for some change in the pre­ sent system of refunding the Ontario Gasoline Tax. After studying the situation in all its aspect*, the Province has now decided to allow the sale of marked gasoline (i.c. gasoline marked purple in accordance with the orders of the Oil Controller of Canada), free from the Ontario Gasoline Tax to farm­ ers, licensed commercial fishermen, licensed guides and licensed or other bonafide tourist outfitters, commencing July 1st, 1943. The new system will eliminate the necessity of submitting claims for refund of the tax, as the Ontario Gasoline Tax will now be exempted at the time of purchase, on presen. Jation by the purchaster of his pur­ chase permit and a properly com­ peted and signed "exemption state­ ment." Purchase permits and ex­ emption statements wil be bound together in book form and mailed directy to the purchaser from the Department, on approval of his ap­ plication. The purchaser should secure his "Application for Purchase Permit" from his retail dealer in marked gasoine, any Division Office of the Department of Highways or the Gasoline Tax Branch of the De­ partment of Highways at Toronto. It is anticipated that if the co-op­ eration of sellers and purchasers is received that this new procedure will be of considerable benefit to the persons involved. PUTNAM The W.

JULY 1,1943 Of Interest to Women Disk Mop Plenty of rich, grease-dissolving suds will turn out dishes bright and sparkling, but it takes a mop to get into the bottoms of glasses. Well, if you happen to have the handle \of a worn-out mop, you can make your­ self another one easy-as-vrink. Wind soft string or candlewick around a book about two inches wider than you want the length of the mop to be. Slip a finer string through the .top of the skein thus made and tie it tightly. Take off the book by cutting the other end of the winding. Then put the handle in the centre of the top of the skein pulling ends down tightly on either side of the handle and tie firmly about an inch down. The strings are now lying alongside the handle. Hop them over so that they lie away from it and tie again very tightly just under the end of the handle. Wanking Tip Worried about mildew all over your nice fresh wash? Next time, don't take chances! Add some vine­ gar (about a quarter of a cup to a gallon) to the last rinse water, pop in your “whitest wash” and swish the clothes around a bit. Vinegar can be used safely on both whites and colours and the clothes will dry dean and sweet-smelling, with the danger of mildew staved off for a much longer time. Bathing *Suit» Bathing suits are subjected to more destructive agencies than any other piece of merchandise. Chem­ icals used in pools as a disinfectant, tend to discolor, fade or damage them. Sunlight weakens most fibers and fades color. Perspiration left in the garment tends to damage it, and there arc a number of bacterial or­ ganisms, such as mildew, which at­ tack bathing suits, especially those containing cotton or wool. In addi­ tion, there is the problem of moths which are most destructive to wool bathing suits. Proper care is the only thing that will check the harm­ ful effects of these different agen­ cies on swim-suit fabrics whether they are made of rayon, cotton, wool, or a combination of these fibers, in conjunction with “Lastex’ yarn. Suits should be rinsed thoroughly after every wearing and dipped fre­ quently in gentle, fine-fabric suds that are “safe for anythin* safe in water alone." Suds should be luke­ warm. and bathing suits should not be rubbed, soaked, wrung, twisted. They should be rinsed thoroughly in water the same temperature as the suds and dried out of doors away from sunlight and heat. Other rules are—Never leave wet suits rolled up in container or locker for any length of time, air frequently, and always dry thoroughly before stor­ ing* Children's Sammer Clothes Keeping youngsters in clean clothes involves a lot of washing and ironing but the job can be made easier with a little planning. For summer choose, if possible, mater­ ials that do not require ironing and garments which are lightweight enough to make for ease and speed in laundering—ones that can be popped 'into rich suds that float the dirt away without hard rubbing and scrubbing and leave the colors bright and gay. Complicated fasten­ ings that slow up both dressing and ironing should be avoided, and if you have ever hunted for a small sock or belt, you will find it a very good idea when putting away the laundry, to insert these in the pock­ ets of the outfit they will be worn with.

DUNN The Mixing Bowl By ANNE ALLAN Hydro Home Economist YOU'RE ELECTED TO DO YOUR OWN CANNING Hello Homemakers! To-day's knowledge of nutrition—particu­ larly of the importance of vitamins and minerals in our daily diet— has made us realize the value of home-canned vegetables. Grocery store shelves are no longer plenti­ fully stocked with canned goods. So nowadays canning for the family really comes under the heading, of “duty,” especially if you haven’t adequate storage facilities. Testing kitchens have been busy making thorough studies in search of a sure canning method. Water bath sterilization is the method we recommend, although the pressure cooker (not available at present) is best. For those who have pressure cookers, canning “bees” could be organized to help can our veget­ ables to the fullest possible extent. STEPS IN CANNING VEGETABLES 1. In buying war-grade rubber rings, buy according to type of jar: read label on the box. If pre-war rubber rings spring back after being folded double, they may be used. Before using, pour boiling water over rings and zinc tops and let stand about one minute. 2. Pint jars are preferable for vegetables. Jars and glass tops must be free from nicks and cracks. Match the lids—do not let lids "rock” on jars. 3. Sterilizing equipment is impor­ tant. Thoroughly scrub every tjtensil and bowl to be-used with a good brush in hot, soapy water. Then rinse and sterilize. For water sterilization, half fill each jar with clear water, place glass tops in position and stand jars in boiler or large kettle. Add spoons, knife, bowls and funnel. Bring water to boiling and let boil 15 minutes. Take jars out when ready to fill, one at a time. 4. -Preparation of vegetables: (a) Use fresh vegetables. Can them an hour or so after gathering and meantime keep in cool place as bacteria begin to grow when they are in -&arm kitchen. (b) Sort according to size, discard­ ing over-rjpe, bruised or blighted ones, (c) Washing cannot be stressed enough—wash pods or vegetables thoroughly in two or three waters, .Then pod, stem or trim, and wash again. Lift out instead of draining and put in’ sterilzed bowl. Don’t .wash too many'at once. (d) Cut inuniform size, using . scalded knife, and put in scalded kettle. 5. ’ Pre cooking is recommended to ensure quick and thorough heat penetration.. Cover vegetables with boiling water and boil for 3 or 4 minutes. 6. Prepare to fill- jars? Place steril­ ized jar on scalded pie plate; putrubber ring on; Insert funnel and have scalded utensils ready. (Keep utensils on plate—not on unclean table). Work quickly; pack fairly loosely to allow for expansion. Fill to within ’.i_ inch ■of top, or 1 inehjf canning peas or corn. Pour hot liquid ,in which they t were pre-cooked, up to brim; slide sterilized knife down in jar'to let out air; odd M tea- ■ spoon salt to each pint jar; place glass top oh and partially seal. With screwtop sealers, 'screw tightly, then unscrew a half turn; with wire-clump jars, ad­ just top clamp but do not spring down lower one. 7. Processing by hot water bath. Set filled jars on rack in wash boiler, large preserving kettle or galvanized iron pail. The rack may be a wire rack, a shingle or a chopping board. Yon may have to improvise a lid to fit container. Pour hot water into processor or cooker to cover the jars two inches above tope. Count the time of sterilization from yie time the water boils. Keep water boiling. Have hot water ready to add to keep sealers covered—if they are not covered, it may cause seepage from jars. 8. Remove jars as soon as cooking is up to avoid over-processing. Place jars, several inches apart, on table to cool . Do not turn upside down. Frequently, during first 15 min­ utes after removal, keep a bend­ ed ear to the sealers. Imperfect seals may be detected by a slight hissing sound, or notice a collect­ ion of small bubbles at the rim. If this occurs, have sterilized knife and glass top within reach; open jar, remove any food parti­ cles on rubber or on edge of glass, reseat glass top in another pos­ ition or change glass top; adjust screw top without adding liquid, USE TOMATO JUICE TO CAN NON-ACJD VEGETABLES Even experienced homemakers have had some spoilage with peas, corn or string beans. These veget­ ables are difficult to home can (without pressure cooker) because they are non acid. We can now recommend the following procedure to add acidity. Wash string beans, string top and tail, wash and cut in uniform sizes. Put into kettle, cover with water and boil 3 min»|tcs, Pack to within 1 inch of top, fill jar half full of canned tomato juice or hot, cooked, strained tomatoes, then fill to top with liquid used in pre-cooking. Process in water bath for 1 ’,4 hours. Remove, test and cool. TIME CHART Product Pre-Cook Water Bath Beans 2 mins. 114 hrs. (in tomatoes) Beans 7- 3 mins. 3 hrs. Beets (whole) 15 mins. 114 hrs.

Preserving Fruit With Limited Supply of Sugar, No Problem Londee, O st./juM 21—Preserv­ ing fruit with a limited supply of sugar is no problem at all to Miss Hattie Baker even though she has 10 young hungry boys who will be wanting preserves on their bread next winter. Suggrless canning is an old art with her.. For years she has been doing down the fruit crop on her farm near Mitchell, Ont., without sugar or with very little of it and rationing to something she can take in her stride. Miss Baker to superintendent of a farm-school for young boys and her job to one she has been doing since 1914. More than 600 young “strays” have come to her home and gradu­ ated, ready to make a living—many of them as farmers. It has been her self-appointed profession to gather these boys from broken homes, from dirty corners of big cities and bring them into the sunshine of her farm, she told the Ingersoll Tribune in an interview here. The majority of these “odds and ends” as she calls them, come to her thin, tired, unhappy, and when they leave they are tanned, strong, laughing lads with a direction to their lives. "We just want to teach these boys how to make a living,” she said. Miss Baker was in London to get a permit for equipment for a new barn from the Wartime Prices and Trade Board. The barn on her farm burned down in early April and the young boys were left with­ out any place to keep the stock. The new barn will have to be built from the ground up and new stalls, pens and other equipment will be in­ stalled. Miss Baker ailso expressed her views on preserving. Feeding the boys is an important phase of her job, Miss Baker said. • Healthy boys are usually happy. Rationing has made little differ- in their diet and certainly no differ­ ence in their health. "In fact we put 20 pounds on one boy in three months,” she said. Miss Baker terms, all the “fuss” about limited sugar supplies as “foolish." For many years, she has been doing down applesauce and other fruit without sugar. The boys gather the warm red apples from the orchards and bring them in by the basket full. Then they pitch in and held with the cooking and applesauce is done without a scrap of sugar, she said. When the jars are opened, the boys sprinkle their rations on their desserts and every­ one is happy about the whole thing. Before the summer is over the pan­ try shelves at the Farm Centre for Boys will be laden with fruit off the farm and their cold storage locker in Mitchell will bold supplies to keep these healthy appetites sat­ isfied. Thiamin Thiamin is also known as Vitamin Bl and it to important both for the nervous system and the digestive tract. It is most important to gen­ eral health and morale, as has been recognized by the British Govern­ ment which pays out thousands of pounds a year for its addition to all flour and bread consumed in the United Kingdom. Thiamin to easily destroyed by heat and it also dissolves in the cooking water, so one has to be verycareful in the preparation and cook­ing of food to see that u little aspossible is lost. Never throw away the water in which vegetables arecooked. It to valuable in soups andgravier.

RATION ADMINISTRATION HEALTH LEAGUE of I I CANADA Vitamin C is known scientifically as ascorbic acid find it is for it inparticular that our food rules in­clude a citrus fruit, tomatoes and other fruits and vegetables. Unfor­tunately, many of our foods do notcontain much vitamin C, but oranges ahd- grapefruit and their juices, andtomatoes, raw or canned, and to­mato juice, have a relatively *rge amount * It is important to know,however, that you need twice asmuch tomato as citrus fruit; so every day you should have an orangeor half grapefruit (they will giveyou your daily requirement), or alarge glass of tomato juice. Among less common foods rich inVitamin _C are strawberries, blackcurrants and watercress; nearly all raw, green vegetables, like cabbage,have vitamin C. Another, importantfood for vitamin C is potatoes, be­ cause they have a dependableamount of it and are eaten more orless regularly and in fairly largequantities. They arc better cookedin their skins; some vitamin C is lost when they are mashed. Cookingreadily destroys vitamin C. Forthis reason fruits and vegetablesshould; be eaten raw whenever poss­ ible. ■ ■ \ 'We- need vitamin C for good health. A complete lack of it causesscurvy, which is practically un­known here, but which used to be very common on long sea voyages.An insufficient amount of vitamin C in the diet will cause poor form­ation of teeth, a weakening of thewalls of small bloodvessels and sometimes a swelling and redness ofthe gums (gingivitis) Ail these symptoms disappear quickly whena diet including citrus fruits, toma­ toes and raw green vegetables istaken.

CURTAIN GOES DOWN ON TRAGEDY The historic Munich Agreement, whereby an ill-fat^d appeasement policy was attempted prior to this war, is void. Premier Mackenzie King has announced in the House of Commons that there has been an exchange of notes between the Foreign Secretary of the United Kingdom, Anthony Eden, and the Foreign Minister of Czecho-Slovakia, Mr. Masseyk, with the clear state­ ment therein that Germany had de­ liberately destroyed the arrange­ ments concerning Czecho-Slovakia as contained in the Munich Agree­ ments of 1938 so that the British Government regarded itself as free from any engagements in this respect. In other words, when this war is ended and a settlement is made of the frontiers of this natiqp, the British Government will not be influenced by any changes effected in and since 1938. The Canadian Government, stated Prem­ ier King, did not consider it nec­ essary to enter into this exchange of notes since this country, Canada, was not a party to the ill-fated Munich Agreement. “I am glad, however, to take this occasion to state that the Canadian Govern­ ment fully shares the view of the United Kingdom Government that the Munich Agreement is void,” de­ clared Premier Mackenzie King in Parliament. OPTIMISTIC OPINION be based on the arguments connect­ ed with the possibility of new econ­ omic or financial policies which may arise out of this war. DISAPPOINTMENT It is indicated by the reports in the capital that those Canadians who had hoped to increase the com­ mon use of maple syrup to replace sugar products will, be disappointed to learn that this country’s product­ ion of these articles in this year is far below that of last year •when Canada had obtained 2,876,900 gal­ lons of maple syrup and 3,727,200 pounds of maple sugar with a value of $6,716,500. Both nature and the war conditions combined to bring about this extremely poor product­ ion.— (Reproduction Prohibited.)

Angus L. Macdonald, brought to light that quite early in this war Canadian naval authorities came to the conclusion that this country’srole was mainly to convoy ships to | Britain, adding the information that , it was the' unanimous opinion in I Britain, United States and Canada ! that the Atlantic was the first and ' major battleground where the war against Hitler can be won or lost. "If the winning of the Battle of the North Atlnndtic is the first and most important of our tasks,” said the Minister in part, “surely it is signi­ ficant that so large a share in the conduct of that battle has been en­ trusted to the Royal Canadian Navy.” Then at another point, he expressed an optimistic opinion. “1 have no doubt as to the outcome of the struggle on the Atlantic and other seas;’’'he stated, "1 have no doubt that in time our surface ships and our air ships will triumph in that struggle.” STORY BEHIND THE STORY The story behind tfle story how the rubber crisis had come rather suddenly on the United Nations has been told in the House of Commons in Ottawa by the Minister of Muni­ tions and Supply, Hon. C. D. Howe. He expl&ned that, at the time when Singapore was threatened, it mark­ ed the first time that there was a real concern about rubber though there were fairly large stocks on hand and even more on order. After Singapore fell, there was apout 21,000 tons in Singapore and Pen­ ang. Although it was believed that these stocks were lost ,yet almost all these stocks arrived at their destin­ ation.” “However, we had to’ take an immediate stock of the situa­ tion,” said the Minister, “and to take steps.to find a substitute for - natural rubber. “That is why Canada entered into an ambitious pro­ gramme to manufacture synthetic rubber, with the information having been given now that the plant for such manufacture of artificial rub­ ber should be completed and in full productive operations by November 1. The Canadian Government’s . in­ vestment in this production of arti­ ficial rubber is between $40,000,000 and $45,000,000. BANKS AND THE WAR^ In the normal coarse of events of the Bank Act, the legal charters of the banks in Canada are supposed to expire on July 1, 1944, but it is possible that prior to the expiration of that time these charters can be continued for a temporary "period or for another ten years. There were three delays for revision in the past, including two for one year and one for two years and, if any points can be raised now for such a delay of revision, it would likely have to FULL COURSE MEALS 35c up WHOLESOME FOODS QUICK SERVICE FISH and CHIPS - 20c STAR CAFE 95 Thames St. Ingersoll •Ph on e 497W • .
