S2.M Mr. and Mrs. E. Wade, 264 Wel­ lington street, have received word that their son, Flight Sergeant Wil­ liam Wade, R.C.AJF., has given his life while on active service for his country. Fit. Sgt. Wade was one of Ingersoll’s finest young men and sincere sympathy is extended to his bereaved parent*. The message which was received from the R.C.A.F. casualties officer at Ottawa reads: ’“Deeply regret to advise you that your son, Flight-iSergeant William Harold Wade, was killed on active service overseas November 27. His funeral takes place at 2 p.m., De­ cember 1st at Regional cemetery, Harrogate, Yorkshire, England. Please aceept my profound sym­ pathy. Letter follows.” Born in Ingersoll, Bill Wade spent all of bis life here until enlisting in the R.C.A.F. He attended the Inger­ soll schools and later was employed by the L°blaw Groceterias Company, i He was a member of St James* Anglican Church and had taken an active part in Sunday School and Boy Scout work. After enlisting in the Air Force, he received his train­ ing at Lachine, I.T.S., Toronto, Fin­ gal and Crumlin, graduating from - the Crumlin school as a navigator­bomber. He had been overseas since * January of this year. A short service was conducted at 1 his home on Wednesday, morning by J Rev. G. A. McLean of the Baptist 7Church. J There were 2866 cases and 240 I deaths from diphtheria in Canada . in 1941, the last year for which , statistics are available. It is import­ ant that children from six months to six years of age, be protected, as the majority of deaths from diph­ theria occur in this age group. Diphtheria can be prevented by having the administration of diph­ theria toxoid. This is given in three doses three weeks apart, and is given to children over six months of age. It is necessary to give one re­ inforcing dose every five years to maintain the immunity which has been established. Diphtheria toxoid may be given by your family physician, or by your public health service. Treatments are being given in the Ingersoll schools and first treatment will be given to preschool children at the Child W’elfare Conference at the Y„M.C.A., this (Thursday) after- (noon. Dec. 2nd, at 3.30 o’clock. W. E.

Turk, in the form of a paper­ tearing act and their many designs brought much applause. There was never a dull moment throughout the show and the antics of the end men kept everyone in a happy mood.

Canada’s National Historic Parks “A wise nation preserves its rec­ ords, gathers up its muniments, dec­ orates the tombs of its illustrious dead, repairs its great public struc­ tures and fosters national pride and love of country ,by perpetual refer­ ence to the sacrifices and glories of the past." So wrote a great Canad­ ian, Joseph Howe, one of the Fathers of Confederation. Tire Government of Canada reco­ gnize this duty and has in recent times commemorated many places of historic interest throughout the length and breadth of the Dominion. In this work the Government has been assisted by the Historic Sites and Monuments Board, an honorary body whose members are historians of recognized standing. Some three hundred sites have already been judged to be of sufficient interest to warrant such commemoration and have thus been preserved as part of the National heritage. Among sites forming an interest- ing link with the early history of Canada to be placed recently under the care of the National Paries Bur­ eau ia Fort Malden, at Amherat- burg, Ontario, Following the sur­ render of Detroit by the British in 1796, Fort Malden was constructed on the banks of the Detroit River by Royal Canadian Volunteers and for 40 years was one of the prin­ ciple frontier military posts in Upper. Canada. The site of the Fort, including the remaining earthworks, was acquired by the Dominion Government in 1937. A museum has been built on the grounds to house the many inter­ esting exhibits relating to the region, and important ^events associated with the old Fort have been commemor­ ated by a suitable memorial. Fort Malden has now been desig­ nated one of Canada’s nine National He—“Well dearest, what did your father say when you told him I wanted to marry you?’’ She—“He hesitated at first be­ cause he didn’t want to lose me, but I told him that he wqpld still have me, and that he would have you to boot.” He—"That sounds all right, ex­ cept for the ‘to boot’ part". * Sth Annual LIONS CLUB Town B all DEC. 1 8th 1943 First Game Free on Admission Ticket DOOR PRIZES - 6 BIG TURKEYS Proceeds For Charitable Purposes THE INGERSOLL TRIBUNE, THURSDAY, DEC. 2, 1943 Page 3BANK OF MONTREALIN STRONG PO inON tent ef $2,160,000 which compareswith $2,700,000 last year, and anamount, of $‘.00,090 was written offbank premi-rs.

With greater business activity, this figure might have been expected to be higher, but increased taxes have practically offset the effect of enlarged gross earnings. At a figure nearly $375,000 higher than in 1942, the Bank’s Dominion Gov­ ernment tax bill for the current year amounted to $2,913,000. Of this amount, $165,000 is refundable under the provisions of the Excess Profits Tax Act. The net profits at distributed to ! of recent years, in which the need for banking accommodation has been substantially decreased. There is the fact also that many firms engaged in peace-time pursuits, with much redu­ ced production, are not now Requir­ ing the financial assistance needed in former years. Like commercial loans, call loans have shown some increase and now amount to $22,036,000 as against $16,210,000 in 1942. Government Holdings Rise Sharply As would be expected, the bank's holdings of Government and other securities have risen sharply and now stand at $799,462,000 compared with $683,835,000 a year ago. The bank’s investment portfolio, as al­ ways, is made up in large measure of Dominion Government and high-grade i provinm) and municipal aecuritiwwhich mature at early dates.In line with this is the increase inthe lank's quickly available re­sources which amount to $1,035,610,-000 being 88.81 per cent of liabil­ities to the public. An increase ofnearly 110,000,000 in these resour­ces is recorded in cash on hand andmoney on deposit with the Bank ofCanada which together stand at$122,277,009 m against $112,-710,000.Notes of the bank in circulation show a reduction from (15,354,000 to $9,790,000 reflecting the trend which began -some years ago when, under the terms of revised banking legislation, the chartered banks com­ menced the gradual reduction of their note circulation in favour of the Bank of Canada. With total resources amounting to $1,313,064,000 and liabilities to the public aomunting to $1,235,631,000, there is left an excess of resources of $77,433,000. This is comprised of the capital of $36,000,000 and reserve fund, profit and loss account and reserve for dividends totalling $41,433,000, which together repre- ent the shareholders’ equity in bank.

M • a Purebred Live Stock For British Guiana Wins Two Gold Medal Certificates When |>fjpringbank Abbekerk Ada- line recently finished her ninth lacta­ tion on Record of Performance test, she brought her lifetime total pro­ duction to 180,426 lbs. milk contain­ ing 6,386 lbs. butterfat. For this achievement her owner, T. R. Dent, Woodstock, Ontario, will receive a Gold Medal Certificate of Longtime Production from the Holstein-Fries- ian Association of Canada. He thus becomes the first private breeder in the Dominion to receive two of these certificates, the other, of course, having been won by his Word Champion Butterfat Producer, Springbank Snow Countess with 9,062 lbs. butterfat from 207,050 lbs. milk. The only other breeding establishment in Canada to have re­ ceived two Gold Medal certificates is the government-owned Tranquille Farm, Tranquille, BXL “Adaline” is already well-known to dairymen as the only Canadian cow of any breed that has twice pro­ duced over 30,000 lbs. of milk in a year on ihree-times-a-day milking. Her best record was made as an eight-year-old when she gave 1,144 lbs. butterfat from 30,229 lbs. milk. During her latest lactation she pro­ duced L',081 lbs. milk containing 520 lbs. fat, a<a twelve-year-old. , Small shipments of Canadian pure­ bred live stock are going to British Guiana. Three heifers and • three yearling bulls were recently pur­ chased from Eastern Ontario Hol­ stein breeders by the Dominion De­ partment of Agriculture at the re­ quest of the Director of Agriculture, Georgetown, British Guiana. Also destined for the only British possess­ ion in South America are two R.O.P." Rhode Island Red cockerels and ten pullets of similar breeding obtained from a British Columbia breeder, and four R.O.P. Barred Plymouth Rock cockerels and twenty pullets of smilar breeding from a breeder in | the province of Quebec. ; The dairy cattle are to be used in agricultural development projects by the British Guiana government) The poultry will serve the dual pur­ pose of reproducing pure-bred stock on the British Guiana government farm and of being crossed on native stock for distribution throughout the country. . In recent years, British Guiana has employed the Dominion Depart­ ment of Agriculture to select for it mall shipments of purebred-swine.

W. . TELEPHONE M BALANCED OPINION — by — Eveline A. Long It is occasionally stated that the man with the least resistance to the persuasion of others is a ninny. That may be; he is at all events devoid of the stamina that makes a man sure of his own opinions; he per­ tains much more to the weathervane than the man. On the other hand, a person so wrapped up in the sure­ ness of his own ideas, that no per­ suasion or logical effort on the part 'ef another, can make him change or modify his opinions, isn’t to be com­ mended entirely. .He is as apt to be wrong as is the man whose opinions are always shaped by others. In truth the mere fact that he has formulated his own ideas and is averse to listening to another's, Is tantamount to admitting that he is biassed in favour of one against many. A bias of any sort is detrimental to the finding of real truth, for while one may be assumed to have biases, and further to admit that it is difficult to dp away with them entirely, it is the bias that weighs the balance too much on one side his side, which is naturally, to hi* ■way of thinking, the right side. We are quick to take sides, to be sure our side is right, the other entirely wrong; to see fact on our side of the balance, fiction on the other; good common sense motivat­ ing our line of argument, pure folly or idealism or personal animus caus­ ing the other to pull away from us and all logical reasoning. We are as we are. We cannot prevent a bias in our thinking, but we can try to recognize that bias, try to understand that as we feel driven to accept certain theories as against others, so other people feel driven to accept what they believe true. In so doing, we must perforce lose some of our bias and get closer to absolute truth, that goal of seekers everywhere.

JAFFRAYGeneral Manager, The Canadian farmer is to be congratulated on his production dur­ ing 1943, and it ia very question­ able whether dairy farmers of any other country, except perhaps the United Kingdom can show a better production record this year as com­ pared with 1942 than those of Can­ ada, stated J. F. Singleton, Asso­ ciate Director of Marketing Service Dairy Products Dominion Depart­ ment of Agriculture in a recent ad­ dress to the Dairy Industries War­ time Conference at Toronto, Dealing with some of the devel­ opments in the Canadian dairy in­ dustry during 1943, Mr. Singleton said that, while some dairy products might have been at times in short supply in certain parts of Canada, the condition was not due to de­ crease in the total milk production, but was brought about by meeting demands for exports of cheese, evaporated milk, and butter under contract to the British Ministry of Food. The inclusion of cheese arid dry whole milk in the parcels sent by the Canadian Red Cross Society to prisoners of war, exports of cheese, butter and evaporated milks to various units of the British Em­ pire and to possessions of foreign countries sustaining governments in exile, and by the increased require­ ments of the various armed forces of Canada were also factors to be considered. It was estimated that total milk production in Canada during 1943 would be equal to, if not exceeding, that of 1942, and would be about 11 per cent higher than in 1939.

Frequent dusting with a soft cloth and occasional waxing with paste wax will keep these bases in good condition. Never use metal polish, furniture polish or abrasives.

Pastry boards, cutting boards, rolling pins, salad bowls and buffet accessories made of wood require special care, especially the expen­ sive ones which have a deep pro­ tective finish. In general, the rules that prevent warping and cracking are as follows: Clean immediately after use. Never soak. Never im­ merse in water. > ■ Wipe with cold water, scrub with lukewarm water and rich, grease-dissolving suds, rinse with cold water, dry thor­ oughly. Never stand on edge while drying, as this may cause warping; never chill in a refrigerator, keep away from heat and store in a dry place. Woodenware should never be polished, rewaxed or shellacked. If a piece roughens, smooth it with sandpaper. In a recent report by the Agricul­ tural Supplies Board seven Canad­ ian plants have processed vegetables from the 1942 crop which have been delivered to the armed forces in Canada and shipped to Britain in the following quantities, dried weight—potatoes. 1,158 tons; cab­ bage, 76 tons; carrots, 78 tons; on­ ions, 43 tons, and turnips, 46 tons, in addition to about 300 tons (dried weight) of onions dehydrated at one plant under direct contract with the British Ministry of 'Food. Canadian egg powder to the amount of 12,861,641 pounds was shipped by the Special Products Board to the British Ministry of Food during the year ended March 31, 1943. Since January 1, 1943, the official bacteriological analysis of all egg powder being exported to Brit­ ain has been, and is, the responsi­ bility of the Division of Bacteriol­ ogy and Dairy 'Research, Dominion Department of Agriculture.

Although the total acreage of the Mackenzie basin under farm and garden cultivation is only be­ tween 2,000 and 3,000 acres scatter­ ed along the river from Fort Smith to Aklavik and confined mainly to gar­ dens, they have been materially assisted by the small sub-stations conducted by the Experimental Farms Service for the past 20 years, mostly at mission stations. All poultry below Grade B is un­ profitable, state Canadian poultry authorities. Largely due to war activities, the deposit* of the Bank and it* bolding of Igovernment securities have reached j record figures, and the total assets 1 which again show a very substantial J increase stand at the highest figure in J the Bank’s history. Altogether it i* ;evident that your Bank has enjoyed it* ; full share in the expansion of the coun- ,try’s business. The profit* have been , well maintained, and after providing I for all other requirement* have enabled ius to pay our current dividend of 8 per cent per annum and carry forward a I substantially greater amount than last 1 year. I should like to point out that 1 the return to the shareholder* based ; on Capital, Rest, and Surplus, which frepresent their in vestment, in the Bank, . amounts to only 3.55 pcr’cent, surely , not an exorbitant rate. It will be , appreciated that the amount paid individends i* restricted by existing |taxation laws, and at least we mag ;hope that within a reasonable time , after the war is over the burden of j taxation will be lightened. Agriculture has responded splendidly ’ to the call for food and the financial 1 position o( the farmer’Js much improved. The 1943 wheat crop estimated at 296,000,000 bushels is only 50% of the 1 1942 harvest, but with the large carry­ over from last year, there is no anxiety regarding any shortage. The produc­ tion of cats and barley for 1943 is ' estimated at 720,000,000 bushels, ; which is less than last year's crop. It must be remembered that approxi­mately two-third* of our farmers are engaged in the production of foodsother than the principal grains, and many of those who were essentially wheat farmer* are now concentrating upon livestock and livestock products. Farm cash income for the year 1942 has been estimated at $1,100,000,000. and the first six months of the present yearshow a gain of 25% over the same period of 1942. The increase in farm income generally has resulted in substantial liquidation' of farm in­ debtedness. The Minister of Finance and hisadvisers are to be commended for theirdirection of the country’s war financ­ing. Their, wise management Jias leftthe banks free to serve the ordinaryfinancial needs of the country, xs well as to be ready when called uptn to meet the requirements of the Govern­ ment. The steps taken to control prices and curb inflation were neccsspry and have proved effective. Th^semeasures and the country's acceptanceof the heavy burden of taxation haveenabled the Government to pay 50%of the cost of the war out of currenftrevenue, which is a creditable achieve­ment. Coming back to our own immediateaffairs, we are proud of the part wehave been able to take in the financingof the war, including our own cus­tomers who have been engaged in the manufacture and production of sup­ plies of every kind, and we are grateful lor the confidence reposed in us by thepublic, which confidence we will do our best to retain. For our part, wearc also prepared to do our full share inthe reconstruction and readjustmentperiod which will follow after the war. I would like to join with the General Manager and pay my tribute to the 583 members of the staff who have given their services to the Armed Forces and to extend the sinceresympathy of myself, the Directors andthe Shareholders to the families ofthose 22 officers who have already’xtid the supreme sacrifice. The net profit after deducting tax**,the usual cxHitribuiMn* to the Pensioaand Guarantee Funds and after makingtransfers to Contingent Account toprovide for all bad and doubtful debt* amount* to $836,934.45, an amountvery slightly in excese ci a year ago.Dividends at $560,000 are reduced$105,000 owing to the rate of 8%established in August, 1942, for thereasons which I explained a year *go.being applicable to the full year. Theusual write-off of $150,000 on BankPremises has been made and the bal­ance carried forward is $126,934.45, a*compared with $21,149.05 a year ago,the increase being almost ^exactly theamount of the reduction in the divudends, and leaving the total balance at credit of Profit and Ix»» Account $846,925.72. We consider the showingnot unsatisfactory and hope you will agree. While at this time,all our energies are directed towards a successful con­ clusion of the war, we, like all other corporations and most individuals, are giving a great deal of thought to post­war development, postwar employmentand what is commonly called postwar security. I hope all will agree that after the war is over every citizen of thi* country, who is able and willing to work, should have the right to gainful employment where individual effort will be encouraged and where the results of such efforts will, id properdegree, accrue'to those who put them forth, and I think everyone iff a positionto furnish or to extend employmentaccepts a* his personal responsibilitythe obligation to try artd bring thwsituation about. In all thinking and planning, how­ ever, we cannot escape the conclusion that our best plans can be brought to naught if the Government* (J thenations of the world again build pro­hibitive tariff walls around their countries, preventing the inflow of thesurplus products of other nations, and, in turn, limiting the employment intheir,Jown country to the production of such goods as W ill meet the require­ ments of home Consumption only, u itis axiomatic in world trade that if a nation will noC buy the excess outputof others it cahnot sell its own surplusproducts. I trust, therefore, that our Govern­ ment, and the Government* of othernations, will at a date well in advance of the termination of hostilities and the release Of our men from the armed forces, be able to announce plans that will furnish the required assurance tothose who are anxious to prepare for postwar ctiiployment. ' Another problem, that affects andlimits postwar planning, is the great qncertainti' of taxation, both present ' aqd future. No corporation or indi­vidual can with assurance undertake ' future expansion, with it* increased employment, so long as it or he is unable to obtain a definite and final assessment of present taxation and all plans must meantime be tentative and may well be delayed beyond thedate when to carry them out become* an essential factor in providing employ­ment for our returning men and in helping bridge the change over of I industry from war to peace. The shareholders of the Bank as on j September 30, 1943, total 2,726.—a, decrease of 7 during the year. These I include American shareholders num-’ bering 299—a decrease of one during the year. The average holding of each shareholder is approximately 25 share*. Increased coffee and tea allowan­ ces for consumers does not mean that restaurants or others serving meals to the public may serve two cups of either beverage at a meal, according to the Wartime Prices and Trade Board. The announcement was made following complaints from many parts of the, Western Ontario region that travellers visiting small towns In . outlying districts have asked for two cups of coffee at a meal, arguing the regulationsfhave been changed, ,. The regulations gov- ernitig~4>everage* at meals remains the same: One «up only may be served at a .meal in a restaurant or other public eating place.

O T T A W A WEEK BY WEEK — By Dean Wilson — PRECISE PROGNOSISIS IMPOSSIBLE At the present moment there is a remarkably strong trend amongst the people of Canada to attempt prog­ nostications about the likely time when thia World War II will end, accentuated in no small measure by Premier Winston Churchill's express­ ion of hope of a possible climax in this war by next year, that is 1944. Of course, it is only a question of time before final victory will be at­ tained by the United Nations and there are some well-founded reasons for much optimism of the moment. But it must be stated hero that there is absolutely nothing of an authori­ tative nature on Parliament Hill to warrant, even in the slightest degree, such a wave of exact or precise prognostications which are sweeping across this country, with this being stressed at this time because suck attempts to predict or to foretell the exact time of the likely arrival of victory often create wrong ideas or misconceptions amongst the people in wartime, particularly if these en­ courage any notions about the possi­ bilities of relaxation or diversion of effort, including any easing off in war restrictions or rations. MORE THAN A MERE CHANGE One of the most Interesting occurr­ ences of this ypar has been the steady and rapid emersion of Canada as ,'a more and more recognized world power amongst the nations on the in­ ternational scene, and, this fact, to­ gether with much doser joint oper­ ations by Canada and the United States in this .war, stand out now in this nation's capital as the real back­ ground for the history-making change of status in representation between these two countries from Minister Plenipotcniary and Envoy Extraor- idnary to Ambassador. In other words, this action of raising Can­ ada’s accredited official representa­ tion in Washington and the United States* representation in Ottawa to the highest possible diplomatic status and equal to that of any other world power infers that its lasting effects will be much more significant in nor­ mal peactime after this war than these may appear to be during the present unusual period of wartime. Indeed, this rise of diplomatic status of Canada's representation in the United States is an extremely import­ ant milestone and it marks a great step in the progress of the whole legal position of this country in. in­ ternational affairs from the time of Rt. Hon. Vincent Massey's initial appointment as Canada's first Minis­ ter to the United States to the latest designation of the Hon. Leighton McCarthy as Canada’s first Ambassa­ dor to that country, this being the creation of Canada's first embassy anywhere in the world. SECOND TO NONE The anatomical physical standards demanded of the Canadian Army are second to none in the standards of the world's armies and any accusa­ tions or claims to the contrary are wrong. The authority for this state­ ment is none other than Brigadier J. C. Meakins, who is now deputy director general of medical services in the Canadian Army and who was formerly the Dean of the Medical Faculty of McGill University in Montreal. He disclosed that, of course, many anatomical defects were uncovered among the man­ power of thia country but at the aamc time the standards demanded were the highest in the world so that the number of the A-l men available for the need was large enough to be complimentary to the manhood of Canada, with the indication that there were 250 or. more off jobs wherein the requirements demanded certain physical mental and emo­ tional qualifications.

Robert Alfred Wilson Passes In 86th Year A WEEKLY EDITOR LOOKS AT O ttaw a It may not be generally known yet, but farmers and other primary producers can purchase lumber for new buildings essential for storing grain or housing livestock at 10 per cent below current retail price through payment of a subsidy by the Stability Corporation, a branch of the Wartime Prices and Trade Board. The subsidy is also payable to fishermen, co-operatives, unincor­ porated associations and. incorpor­ ated farms. It also may be granted in assisting the restoration of essen­ tial business buildings when the pro­ prietor is himself bearing the cost of rebuilding. The ruling says: “Any civilian purchasing lumber for use in assisting the primary pro­ duction of essential foods is eligble for a consumer subsidy.” tremendous proportions a short while ago that the Meat Board asked all packing plants in Quebec, Ontario and the prairie provinces to slaugh­ ter no more sows until all regular classes of finished hogs at yards and plants were slaughtered. A recent week saw an all-time slaughtering of about 192,000 hogs, greater by 15,- 000 than any previous week. The congested situation was not confined to Canada, but pprevailed in the Uni- ted States, too. The Board pointed out that as two regular hogs^an be processed with about the same amount of labor as one sow, and as additional weight does not lower the eventual value of sows temporarily held back, this was the best practical solution to the problem. through research and practical work of the Tobacco division of the Do­ minion Experimental Farm service, 92 per cent of Canadian leaf was used in 1940. In 1942 it is stated that 100 per cent of the tobacco manufactured in this country was hpme grown., This means a fine in­ crease in revenue for the 7,000 far­ mers engaged in this industry Only 30 per cent of the leaf used for tobacco in Canada in 1938 was Canadian-grown, but as a result of the improvement in the quality G I F T S Evening in ParisYardley Three Flowers Three SecretsDorel Perfume Sheaffer Fount!
